Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School
Chapter 655: Black Snow (8)
Chapter 655: Black Snow (8)
He couldn’t see well at first despite using Seer.
Remnants interfered with Joo Soohyuk’s vision because it was immediately after an overly powerful force was released.
“Hey, can’t you see him yet?”
“I think we have to wait a little longer.”
It was a little while after the black snow fell that Joo Soohyuk was able to see.
He found a figure believed to be Jo Euishin and a huge white tiger.
In order to use the Player Identity light skill as long as possible, Jo Euishin’s body was not disguised.
Even though he was wearing a mask, his identity was given by his silhouette.
“Someone wearing a mask. I think it’s Euishin.”
“Is it a crow mask?”
Joo Soohyuk didn’t mention any detail, but Yoo Sanghoon immediately asked if it was a crow mask as if he expected it.
The view wasn’t clear yet because of the remnants, so Joo Soohyuk increased his power to make the image clearer.
He then saw what the tiger and Jo Euishin were doing.
Jo Euishin was soothing the tiger.
He was petting the tiger, hugging him, and saying something.
At that time, the tiger, who was burying his face on Jo Euishin’s shoulder, raised his eyes.
Jo Euishin didn’t see, but somehow, Joo Soohyuk seemed to make eye contact with the tiger.

‘I think the tiger looked this way…’
The alert beast’s gaze returned to Jo Euishin.
Unbeknownst to Joo Soohyuk, the beast is the Tiger Clan’s Shinsoo, and they are in front of the Cheondansu, the center of the clan’s territory.
That’s why the beast could maintain a sharp sense to sense his insight skill and the power that he emitted.
Jo Euishin didn’t feel them, but the beast looked directly at Joo Soohyuk and the trio.
The Tiger Clan’s Shinsoo had good energy from Joo Soohyuk’s perspective, so he wasn’t too wary.
He felt puzzled at first, but Joo Soohyuk observed Jo Euishin’s body.
Just as Yoo Sanghoon speculated, Jo Euishin was wearing a crow mask.
‘That demon was looking for someone in a crow mask!’
Invidius’ priest said this when he appeared on Exit 1.
— I’m looking for something. Does anyone here know about a crow mask? Give me some good information and I won’t kill you.
— The crow mask has been shining. A lot of people are after him. But I want to kill him with my own hands or catch him.
Joo Soohyuk recalled the demon’s words and looked anxiously at Jo Euishin.
‘Euishin was in a really dangerous situation.’
Joo Soohyuk hid this from the two, afraid that his anxiety would spread.
Instead, he said something else.
“He’s wearing a crow mask.”
“It’s Euishin then.”
“What’s the VP doing this time?”
Following Yoo Sanghoon, Maeng Hyodon was also sure of it.
The two knew well because they were involved in cases where Jo Euishin was wearing a crow mask.
Yoo Sanghoon and Maeng Hyodon were worried about Jo Euishin’s physical condition.
“He does more suspicious things than usual when he wears that mask. Is he hurt?”
“Is that bastard hurt anywhere?”
Joo Soohyuk again observed Jo Euishin and the tiger.
When he relayed that Jo Euishin had blood stains around his ears, Maeng Hyodon and Yoo Sanghoon vented at Joo Soohyuk.
Then, Jo Euishin began to move.
He seems to intend to leave the tiger and move on his own again.
The tiger didn’t seem too happy about it as he swung his big tail and stomped.
The slight movement caused wind and soil to splash, and it seemed like the tiger didn’t usually have this immense power.
Still, it posed no threat to Jo Euishin, just that it disliked that he had to go.
“Euishin is with a huge tiger. I think he’s saying goodbye.”
“Tiger? Oh.”
Hearing that Jo Euishin was with something that looked like a tiger, Yoo Sanghoon spoke like that.
“Oh, I think it’s okay if it’s a tiger.”
Yoo Sanghoon said, recalling the crazyhead from Class Zero.
He saw Hwangho in his 20s during the TC Research Institute incident where Jo Euishin also moved with a crow mask.
He heard Jang Namwook call the man Hwang Jiho as well.
After confirming that Hwangho’s appearance can change from teens to 20s, Yoo Sanghoon inferred that the Class Zero crazyhead was not human and was cooperating with Jo Euishin.
Since then, Yoo Sanghoon has been speculating that the crazyhead might be a Tiger Clan considering the rumors related to the Hwangmyeong Foundation.
Joo Soohyuk nodded at Yoo Sanghoon’s words, convinced.
“Yeah, that’s a relief.”
“…Is that so?”
Maeng Hyodon was unable to keep up with the conversation, but he moved on, thinking that it would be okay since the two said so.
Then, after saying goodbye to the tiger, Jo Euishin began to move.
Joo Soohyuk tried to follow him, but Jo Euishin suddenly disappeared without a shadow.
“Euishin disappeared! I think he used a high-level hiding skill, or maybe a light skill.”
Joo Soohyuk deactivated his skill and looked up.
Black snow was falling still.
Jo Euishin must’ve consumed a lot of energy waves to make black snow fall.
He then used a hiding skill so powerful that Joo Soohyuk’s insight skill couldn’t detect him.
It was clear that Jo Euishin didn’t have much energy waves left.
Not only Yoo Sanghoon, but even the slow Maeng Hyodon knew it.
As their faces darkened, Joo Soohyuk spoke softly.
“He wouldn’t have gone far. I’ll look for him again.”
However, Jo Euishin could not be seen at all.
He looked at the tiger, but it sat still in front of something wrapped in a five-colored cloth as it looked in the direction in which Jo Euishin disappeared.
The tiger even grumbled as if claiming that Jo Euishin was not there.
While Joo Soohyuk struggled to find Jo Euishin…
“I think he’s that way.”
Maeng Hyodon suddenly pointed to the peak.
“Why?”
“It just looks suspicious there.”
Maeng Hyodon barely gave a valid reason for Yoo Sanghoon’s question.
However, Joo Soohyuk decided to trust Maeng Hyodon’s instinct.
The moment he looked at the area with his Seer skill, the view became blurred.
It could’ve looked like there was fog on the peak, but Joo Soohyuk realized that it wasn’t.
“There’s something powerful enough to interfere with my skill near the peak.”
There was a limit to what insight skills can do, including Seer.
Just as he couldn’t see Jo Euishin after he used earth power in front of the Cheondansu, the same was true as he was looking at the peak.
Even if there was no fog, it looked cloudy even in the surrounding area.
Joo Soohyuk raised his energy waves to make his vision clearer.
Then, a golden light flashed and he saw a glimpse of a school uniform in between.
Joo Soohyuk had few clues, but it was enough to grasp the situation.
“Someone in a uniform is fighting. Euishin must be on the way to help him.”
“Hey, let’s go.”
“Yeah.”
There was a force so powerful that it interrupted the Seer skill, but the three headed to the peak without hesitation.
The three did their best to stifle their presence as they moved.
When they got close to the peak, they sensed the source of a great power.
Two heads of the 12-point alliance, Hwangho and Uma, were fighting.
As they headed closer to the peak, Maeng Hyodon’s footsteps got heavier.
‘…Won’t we really get in the way?’
Maeng Hyodon wasn’t afraid to get hurt in a fight.
However, he’s scared that a wrong move would interrupt Jo Euishin’s suspicious plans and get him hurt.
A cold sweat broke out on his arm wearing a protector as he repeatedly cooled himself.
Still, Maeng Hyodon pushed forward, his instincts telling him not to stop.
It may be because he was familiar with the energy that he sensed.
“It’s not the VP guy’s energy, but it’s familiar. What is it?”
Maeng Hyodon soon realized the identity of the power.
In the distance, Hwang Jiho in a school uniform was seen pointing a rod at a royal lineage who had blue-gold horns.
Hwang Jiho’s eyes and hair were golden unlike usual, but there was no way that Maeng Hyodon wouldn’t recognize the class crazyhead he’s been together for nearly a year.
One of the forces on the peak was from Class Zero.
‘It’s the crazyhead! Didn’t he say he wasn’t coming to school today?’
The Class Zero crazyhead seemed to be doing something suspicious just like Jo EUishin.
Though his presence here right now might be the result of Jo Euishin’s suspicious plans.
Following Maeng Hyodon, Joo Soohyuk, and Yoo Sanghoon also recognized Hwang Jiho.
Not surprisingly, the fight between the two royal lineages continued.
Kwaaaang!
The rod held by Hwangho and the dual swords wielded by Uma collided.
At that moment, Jo Euishin wearing a crow mask appeared out of thin air.
Jo Euishin was reaching for Uma’s tail.
Maeng Hyodon saw the scene and gasped.
“W-what’s that bastard doing? He’s deactivated his hiding skill!”
Maeng Hyodon belatedly realized.
Jo Euishin used up all his energy waves that he could no longer maintain the hiding skill.
Then, Uma began to attack Jo Euishin.
Their voices couldn’t be heard well because of the explosive power, but it was clear that Uma was trying to kill Jo Euishin.
“Let’s ambush.”
Joo Soohyuk quietly lifted his dual swords, and Yoo Sanghoon nodded his head as if he was waiting.
However, for a moment, what happened today invaded the three’s minds.
The incident at Exit 1 where the demon attacked.
The students attempted a surprise attack against Invidiu’s priest but failed.
As a result, Jo Euishin had to throw himself in danger’s way and Kwon Lena had to sacrifice her energy violin.
If Gong Cheonghwon hadn’t appeared at the right time, someone would’ve died or been seriously injured.
As their morale fell and hesitancy was about to take over, Joo Soohyuk spoke.
“We’ll succeed this time.”
Joo Soohyuk took the lead, holding his dual sword firmly in his hands.
He must’ve recalled the incident as well, but there was no shaking in his gaze as he stared ahead.
Standing behind him, Maeng Hyodon and Yoo Sanghoon also gained strength.
Joo Soohyuk instructed in a small voice.
He said that he would take the most dangerous role of targeting the sword held by Uma.
“We have to stifle our presence until the moment of attack. We might get caught if we move together, so let’s head in different directions. I’ll go straight ahead.”
Divided into three, they slowly held their breath and headed for Jo Euishin.
Their feet felt particularly heavy because they had to stifle their presence.
Kwiiiiik!
The pitchfork held by Jo EUishin was being pressed to his neck.
The light from Uma’s energy waves seemed to swallow Jo Euishin at any moment.
Joo Soohyuk with his dual swords.
Maeng Hyodon looking at Uma trying to kill Jo Euishin.
Yoo Sanghoon with his shield.
All three of them headed steadfastly straight to Jo Euishin.
And finally, Joo Soohyuk’s dual swords announced the start of the surprise attack.
Seeing the three suddenly appear in front of him, Jo Euishin couldn’t seem to believe it.
Jo Euishin, who knew almost everything, couldn’t have predicted the appearance of the three students.
