EX rank supporting role's replay in a prestigious school

Chapter 735: Guest (7)

Other than Yeom Junyeol, the original Hongryong summoner, that dragon knows about that existence.

There’s no way they wouldn’t know.

After all, I impersonated Yeom Junyeol at the Hwanmong Auction.

That word.

“You will summon Hongryong...?”

Even though he might’ve guessed it, Cheongryong was skeptical.

It must’ve been difficult to accept it right away.

If so, then I have no choice but to prove it myself.

“It would be faster to show you.”

I reached out into the air, similar to when Yeom Junyeol summons Hongryong.

Fwaaa...!

A subspace opened at the tip of my fingers, and Hongryong appeared in between the gap.

It’s larger than the Hongryong summoned by Yeom Junyeol, and the energy waves and fire he has are superior too.

Still, it’s undeniable that it was in fact Hongryong.

‘This is Yeom Junyeol’s power. Cheongryong knows it better than me.’

Cheongryong, who has a deep love for his nephew, recognized Hongryong and fell speechless.

“H-how did you...”

“It’s my light skill. I can use other people’s powers under certain conditions.”

“Then that means you are the Red Wall Thief!”

Ah.

I was prepared, but my hands almost shook.

I’ve been hearing that word too frequently these days.

The Hongryong that I summoned also clenched his fists and looked at Cheongryong with resentment.

“As expected, it was Junyeol’s power that destroyed that dirty auction. The Dragon Clan’s benefactor was the Red Wall Theif who impersonated our Junyeol-ie.”

Cheongryong appealed to his nephew’s love even though he was confused by the sudden revelation.

Was he still looking for the person, that word, who impersonated Yeom Junyeol?

I was prepared to be criticized by the Red Lion and the Dragon Clan once my identity was revealed.

While Cheongryong organized his thoughts, I waited to see what measures I would take.

Meanwhile, the excited Yeom Junyeol spoke.

“Uncle Cheongryong is a wise and benevolent man, so he will be glad that Euishin, the Dragon Clan’s benefactor, used my name to destroy the Hwanmong Auction.”

Yeom Junyeol said so as he looked at Cheongryong, his eyes filled with trust.

Cheongryong answered a beat late as if he was speechless from Yeom Junyeol’s unquestioning attitude.

“Weren’t you in trouble for something you weren’t involved in at that time, Junyeol-ah?”

“If I had known about the Hwanmong Auction, I would’ve come forward myself even if I had nothing to do with it. Thanks to Euishin’s choice, a lot of people were saved and I got myself a good teacher.”

Does Yeom Junyeol want to reveal our teacher-student relationship?

Now that that word is revealed, I don’t think I need to hide anything more from Cheongryong, even though he’s unlikely to accept that I am Yeom Junyeol’s teacher.

“A good teacher? Ah, you did say you wanted the Red Wall Thief as your teacher. Don’t tell me... Junyeol-ah?”

“Yes, Euishin is a close junior, but he’s also my teacher.”

There’s no age for learning, but the words are a little incompatible.

Cheongryong was stunned, his eyes wide open.

His face turned red and he repeatedly sniffled.

“I was expecting it, but I can’t believe the dragon descendant followed him that well.”

Hwang Jiho, who was watching the dragons’ conversation, said.

Isn’t Yeom Junyeol just trying to cope with the situation in fear that Cheongryong will be furious?

As if Yeom Junyeol’s words worked, Cheongryong gradually stabilized.

After looking at Yeom Junyeol, Cheongryong looked at me and the Hongryong that I summoned.

Cheongryong had a serious look on his face as if he had decided something.

“Yes, Junyeol is correct. I cannot neglect Junyeol’s benefactor, junior, and teacher.”

“I knew you would say that, Uncle Cheongryong.”

Cheongryong spoke again.

“Now that it’s come to this, the benefactor of Dragon Clan, as a member of the dragon family—”

“Cheongryong, don’t say unnecessary things. Didn’t you say you’re here to help? Don’t even think about stealing the Tiger Clan’s benefactor in front of this body’s eyes.”

Cheongryong said something weird, but Hwang Jiho said something even weirder.

The two clan heads continued to have a useless conversation that wasn’t fit for their age.

Kim Shinrok’s eyes turned to Yeom Junyeol who was up high.

He was teasing his hands as if he was about to take out another weapon.

Other than a throwing knife, Kim Shinrok had a tack in his hand.

“Dodge!”

When I shouted, Yeom Junyeol quickly turned around.

I moved Hongryong to blow flames while I also launched fire.

Hwaaa!

I used a flame technique to target Kim Shinrok’s hand, but the flame was erased quickly because I was in too much of a hurry.

Still, the knife thrown by Kim Shinrok brushed the scales instead of hitting Hongryong.

But not all were avoided.

Huuuu...

Something was flowing down Yeom Junyeol’s arms and shoulders.

Kim Shinrok’s tack wasn’t stopped by Yeom Junyeol’s scales.

‘He hit him even though he’s wearing protective armor. If I was a little late, it’d have crashed between the cracks in the scales.’

There were lots of variables in this fight with two Hongryongs in the equation.

However, Kim Shinrok fought with a nonchalant face as if he was at no disadvantage.

We let our guard down a little, and Kim Shinrok jumped over the boundary, flew toward Yeom Junyeol, and showed his elaborate throwing skills.

There’s still no sign of him using his light skill, but he showed an excellent display of skill.

‘Kim Shinrok is reluctant, and since he’s so strong, even the Tige Clan didn’t recommend that he use his light skill.’

When Kim Shinrok flew up, Yeom Junyeol came close and said,

“I was caught by the ankle, sorry!”

Yeom Junyeol came here to help so there’s no need to feel sorey at all.

Just him showing how to handle Hongryong like he’s part of him is enough.

As if he wanted more, Yeom Junyeol suggested something in a low voice.

“Euishin-ah, why don’t you use that power since it’s two against one?”

That power?

Does he mean an energy wave link?

It would be more effective if there were more people on our side.

If there was no other way, I wouldn’t tried as Yeom Junyeol said, but it was okay now.”

There’s something more effective than that.

“I didn’t want to use it against Kim Shinrok, but it’s a problem he needs to overcome someday.

I don’t know about the rest of the Tiger Clan, but all the people of royal lineage who favor Kim Shinrok would like him to overcome this.

‘Good thing I told the tigers in advance.’

I decided to use some power if I had the chance to fight with Yeom Junyeol.

Among the tigers who heard my suggestion, only Jeokho hesitated.

The others welcomed it with open arms.

“Professor Kim Shinrok is erasing the flames that spread out on the floor and walls. He’ll be right over here.”

There was no time to hesitate.

I took out the Fate of the Unknown card.

Hwik! Hwik!

Kim Shinrok jumped off the wall and took off, ignoring the laws of physics as he flew this way.

He didn’t have flight skills, but his excellent leap skill made it seem like he’s flying.

The moment Kim Shinrok ran toward Yeom Junyeol with a throwing knife in his hand, I moved Hongryong to block him.

At the same time, the transparent Fate of the Unkown card has turned into a character card.

As soon as the system notification was heard, energy waves disappeared from Kim Shinrok’s throwing knife.

Kim Shinrok stopped.

He couldn’t try to invoke his skills nor could he try to move towards me.

Kim Shinrok, who slowed down, landed on the floor.

Tadak!

“Ah...”

Kim Shinrok looked at me in disbelief.

The character that I used is my last playable character, Baekho-gun.

A tiger that Kim Shinrok can’t attack.
