Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

In Plumago, the black curtain succeeded in eliminating Hwang Ji-ho.

Whether Hwang Ji-ho actually died or not was unknown, but it was clear that he met his end in a form close to death.
So I always thought about how to kill Hwang Ji-ho.
If it was the black curtain, how would he kill Hwang Ji-ho?

Or, is there a way to subdue him without killing him and use his power?
The black curtain has already incapacitated someone several times and taken away their power.
I thought of Mujigi who was trapped in the tank, Unsa who was burning in the furnace, and Seong Hyeong-woo who was buried in the garden, and I felt dizzy.

“It’s not too late. Hwang Ho’s clone just stopped.”
Even in this situation, Baekho-gun was calm.
I couldn’t read Baekho-gun’s mind, but I could read various emotions in his voice.

He was full of confidence and faith.
Baekho-gun believed that Hwang Ji-ho would not fall easily.
If he had read my mind, he would have guessed what kind of end Hwang Ji-ho would have met, but he didn’t waver.

“I trust Hwang Ho.”
Baek Ho-gun said, staring straight at me.
I could feel trust in his straight gaze, but it was directed at me, not at his distant friend.

I was astonished by his gaze.
‘You still trust my skills? If I act according to my skills, I’ll ruin things, and Hwang Ji-ho’s clone is in such ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) a dangerous situation that it’ll stop?’
Baek Ho-gun nodded immediately.

He seemed to really trust me.
I couldn’t think for a moment because of his unhesitating attitude.
“Hwang Ho? Are you talking about the Hwang Ho from Gaecheon Myth? And judging from Sage’s reaction, it’s like… … .”
“I saw him right before he retired in the relic simulator. He’s the greatest warrior of the Ho clan, Baek Ho.”

Hirano Seiji urgently revealed the identity of the White Tiger Army in case Arihara Tomoaki made a slip of the tongue.
Listening to their short conversation, my head gradually grew colder.
It is true that the mastermind has now made a move to directly attack the king, but it is not that there is no way to stop it.

Up until now, I have protected countless chess pieces, and the strongest knight was right in front of me.
Although that knight was a beast, he was able to move freely because the guardian was absent.
Although the White Tiger Army will be punished later, the White Tiger Army will also think that it is better to be punished than to see Hwang Ji-ho make a mistake.

‘There are enough chess pieces. So let’s think about what moves the enemy will make and how they will move.’
As I calmly began to think about my next move, the coldness in the White Tiger Army’s eyes disappeared somewhat.
I must have felt relieved when I came to my senses and tried to think of a way to get my close friend back.

The White Tiger Army answered in a voice that seemed to be nothing more than a soliloquy to a third party.
“You can think whatever you want.”
“… … Are you talking to us?”

“I don’t think so.”
“You said we can think whatever we want, so it’s up to us to interpret it.”
Arihara Tomoaki and Renzou Karen didn’t pay much attention, but Hirano Seiji was perplexed.

That white tiger is a bit burdensome to others, so I hope you’ll be careful with what you say.
The corners of Baekho-kun’s mouth were about to go up, so he looked away and became lost in thought.
‘As long as he’s on the Korean Peninsula, Hwang Ji-ho’s power is close to omnipotent. He can use his innate power, fame, divine grace, and intelligence on the Korean Peninsula.’

Therefore, in order to limit Hwang Ji-ho’s power, the best thing to do was to get out of the Korean Peninsula.
However, it was hard to think that Hwang Ji-ho had crossed the border at this point.
It is possible that he kidnapped Hwang Ji-ho by transfer, just like he did when he teleported to Garden during the attempted assassination of Seong Guk-eon, but the possibility was extremely low.

It was not easy to teleport across the border against a powerful Jin tribe, and it did not fit the flow of this case.
‘If he had the power to teleport Hwang Ji-ho, he would have used it a long time ago. There would have been no need to make complicated moves.’
If he had the power to teleport Hwang Ji-ho to a foreign country in one breath, there would have been no need for the mastermind to use the oath of the three knights or to fish with Cheong-ho’s body.

Even if he had done something complicated, he would have noticed it earlier.
If he had challenged Hwang Ji-ho, who had come to propose a deal, and had been certain that he would fight with his own strength, wouldn’t that have been enough?
If he had succeeded by doing that, Eun-ho, who was with Hwang Yu-ho, would have noticed right away, and he would have immediately told Baek-ho-gun to bring me, even if I was a fox.

Eunho is overly kind and tends to be overprotective, so he would want to prevent me from being transferred somewhere.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
‘Also, if Hwang Jiho had been kidnapped or had sensed something unusual, he would have used his clone to warn or something. If he hadn’t, that would mean the operation itself went smoothly, and Hwang Jiho couldn’t move his clone without knowing.’

Hwang Jiho must have gone to find Cheongho’s real body with the Knight of the Earthquake, as I had planned.
Something must have happened there.
And there seemed to be something that restricted Hwang Jiho’s power more than outside the border.

‘Hwang Jiho is showing symptoms as if he had gone outside the border, but it’s actually more serious. He said that when he was overseas before, it was difficult to handle his clone, but he could move it.’
On the way back from his reporting trip to China, Hwang Jiho explained his clone on the plane and said this.
―Moving a clone outside of the Korean Peninsula is quite tricky. To use a metaphor… … It’s like playing chess by implementing the brain and hand shapes of a superpower.

―The ability to think, the precision of skills, and the concentration are all greatly reduced. That’s why I took care of all the important things and went on this overseas trip.
Then, I have to think of a way to limit Hwang Ji-ho’s power more powerfully than simply going outside the Korean Peninsula.
‘If there was such a way, there would have been some kind of sign.’

It’s not like such power would suddenly fall from the sky, right?
There are so many signs when a celestial god opens the sky and appears, so great power and plans tend to appear with signs of something happening.
The opponents are the mastermind and the oath of the three knights.

I retraced the two’s actions that I had already thought about several times.
There was a lot to think about, but it didn’t take long.
About a minute had passed.

“Joeui-shin.”
As soon as my thoughts were organized, Baekho-gun spoke.
He must have been quietly watching my train of thought and waiting for the right moment to speak.

“Do you have a suggestion?”
“Oh, I do.”
I had something to suggest, but I didn’t say it right away.

Since Hwang Ji-ho was in a situation where he couldn’t even move his own body because I was moving as he suggested, I wanted to be more careful this time.
“But I have to check something first. There seem to be a lot of variables tonight.”
I said this while looking at Renzoin Karen, one of those variables.

When our eyes met, Renzoin Karen smiled elegantly.
The three knights’ oath hideout located on the Korean Peninsula.
This hideout was in the form of a farm, and at first glance, it looked like a farm that grew deciduous trees, ornamental trees, and medicinal trees.

However, once you cross the reservoir created by the Knight of Water Shadow and the gravel road laid down by the Knight of Earth Rumble, the scenery changed completely.
If visitors could safely pass the Grand Cross’s collaboration, they could see roses in full bloom that would turn their vision yellow.
In the middle of the farm filled with roses that gave off a suffocatingly strong scent, the owner of this farm, the Yellow Rose Knight, stood.

“When will the leader of the clan arrive?”
[The Earthquake Knight didn’t seem in a position to answer. He couldn’t answer questions about the leader of the clan.]
“Then when should I prepare?”

[The Earthquake Knight said he would guide them to where Cheongho’s body was, so he should be here soon. Keep the door to the rose farm open.]
The Yellow Rose Knight, who was wearing a dress over his entire body wrapped in special bandages, clenched his fists.
The Yellow Rose Knight hated the idea of ​​anyone coming to this rose farm, even if it was for a deal.

That someone actually included Cheongho’s body.
This rose farm was the safest and most secret hideout the Three Knights' Oath had on the Korean Peninsula, so he agreed to transfer Cheongho's body in case of an emergency, but he did not readily agree.
'It's disgusting to bring in knights, but the Jin tribe, and the leader of the Hojo clan at that!'

The Three Knights' Oath aims to exterminate the Miao tribe.
Although the Hojo clan and the Miao clan were not related, they had similar tendencies.
Just as when you hate someone so much that you start to hate those who resemble them, it was inevitable that Hojo clan would be viewed with disgust.

Nevertheless, in order to erase the plague that was just as annoying as the Miao clan, a deal with the Yellow Tiger was essential.
When the Yellow Rose Knight failed to suppress his anger, the roses around him began to fade from the effects.
The Yellow Rose Knight swallowed his anger and said,

"Okay. I'll keep the farm's gate open."
As the Yellow Rose Knight prepared to welcome the visitor, the tightly closed door of the farm opened.
Then, the owner of the farm accepted the meaning that he would welcome the visitor, and the surroundings began to change.

The monster in the reservoir that the Water Shadow Knight had released closed its eyes, and the dancing needles that the Earth Tremor Knight had planted between the gravel all sank into the ground.
Then, the poison that filled the farm gradually subsided.
The leader of the clan would be able to set foot in the farm without any problems.

When the Rose Farm had finished changing, the Water Shadow Knight spoke.
[Yellow Rose Knight.]
Feeling uneasy, the Yellow Rose Knight checked the channel that the Water Shadow Knight was using.

The Grand Cross had no secrets between them, so the three of them would talk together regardless of whether someone was absent or not.
But now the Water Shadow Knight was talking to them one-on-one.
‘At this important time? Is the chieftain of the clan wary of hearing the conversation through the knight of the earth?’

As the knight of the yellow rose listened silently, the knight of the water shadow continued.
[If something happens, prioritize your desires.]
“What?”

[You can prioritize the deal, or you can protect the rose farm. Don’t leave any regrets.]
The knight of the water shadow spoke incomprehensibly.
A hand on the intellect since he became a full-body armor, the Water Shadow Knight would occasionally babble incoherently.

The Yellow Rose Knight thought it was strange, but he didn’t ignore it.
“That’s right. I’ll do whatever I want.”
[Yeah. I wish the Earthquake Knight was like that. I already was.]

The more he listened, the stranger it sounded.
The Yellow Rose Knight tried to find out more about the meaning of those words, but he couldn’t say anything more.
The visitor he hadn’t wanted to welcome, but had been waiting for with bated breath, had arrived.

‘Here he comes.’
The Earthquake Knight and the leader of the clan had just passed the main gate of the rose farm.
