Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Hwang Ji-ho looked at Baekho-gun, who had started to snicker at some point, as if he was resenting him.

He must have wanted to ask why I didn’t tell him what I thought of the elixir.
But this time, the white tiger kept his mouth shut.
Now that I think about it, that white tiger had also taken the elixir before, but it must have held a grudge against Hwang Ji-ho because of the taste of the elixir.

Hwang Ji-ho took his eyes off the snickering white tiger and said.
“……Jo Ui-shin, how about changing your mind? My body is fine. If it were another favor, I would be more willing to do it.”
Judging from his reaction, he seemed to know that Hyang-rok’s elixir didn’t taste good, but how many times did he feed it to me even though he knew that?

Of course, he had no intention of changing it.
It would be a lie if he said he didn’t have any feelings because of the taste, but it was true that Hyang-rok’s elixir was very effective, and there was also the problem with Hwang Ji-ho’s physical condition.
In addition, the information about the accumulated damage of the clone that I learned through the palace was also a problem.

I asked almost like I was being questioned.
“The damage of the clone affects the main body? You must have been receiving all the damage that the clone had received.”
“That’s true, but this time you weren’t hurt that much. You were affected by the intellect, but now that you’re gone, it’s okay.”

“You were so miserable that you couldn’t speak while I was supporting you. There’s no way you wouldn’t have aftereffects.”
“Since it was an urgent situation, I thought you’d call my name if you opened your mouth then. I just held back my words in order not to give away information.”
Is that what Hwang Ji-ho is calling an excuse now?

The excuse that the usually eloquent speaker was making was really pitiful.
I tried to watch because I thought how ridiculous he would be if I kept it up, but it didn’t last long.
Eun-ho didn’t seem to want to watch and said as he served tea.

“Hwang Ho, this time I saw my younger self stop. If Baek Ho hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t have been able to figure out what had happened and would have just been left to fester alone.”
My heart ached as I thought of Eun Ho who had seen the kind Hwang Yu Ho suddenly stiffen and not speak.
Not once, but twice!
I felt gloomy as I thought of Hwang Yu Ho’s frozen figure and Eun Ho’s heart.

Hwang Ji Ho became quiet as he met Eun Ho’s and my gaze.
“And this is a favor that Eui Shin has asked for Hwang Ho. While Hwang Ho’s main body was just calming down, you must have forgotten that Eui Shin was the one who protected the clone, right? Are you thinking of taking me back?”
Even though he had said my name, Hwang Ji Ho couldn’t make any more excuses when Eun Ho said this.

Hwang Ji Ho spoke as if he had given up.
“I didn’t mean to. There’s no way this body could ignore the benefactor’s heart. I’m so happy that you’re worried.”
“You don’t seem very happy.”

“Haha! Jo Ui-shin, I just checked to see if there was any chance that you’d change your mind. I’ll contact Hyang-rok.”
Seeing that he was still talking nonsense, his condition seemed bad, but he was somewhat relieved that Hwang Ji-ho would take the elixir and get better.
I’ll have to check constantly to see if Hwang Ji-ho took the elixir like he did.

When I’m not around, the white tiger will check for me.
“Of course.”
“Baek-ho, did you answer the elixir?”

“Yes.”
He didn’t ask me to answer.
The white tiger answered Cheong-ho’s question as if he was bragging.

Hwang Ji-ho looked at his friends with a sullen face and said.
“Anyway, I can’t eat that good thing alone. Cheongho, you and your disciples should eat it together.”
“Huh? Got it.”

The rich tiger said a very good thing.
I felt sorry for Cheongho, who still didn’t know the fear of the elixir, but since it’s come to this, I hope he eats it and becomes strong.
Cheongho agreed without a second thought to Hwang Jiho’s words that he would provide the precious elixir to his disciples, but it was unclear whether his disciples would be happy.

Cheongho was adding honey to the tea Eunho gave him, as if he didn’t know what would happen in the future.
Even if you drink a bowl of honey after taking the elixir, its unique taste will still remain, but Cheongho, who loves sweets, may not be able to endure it.
‘But since he insisted on feeding his disciples as well as Cheongho, Hwang Jiho must have been watching the fight properly today.’

As the current leader of the clan, it was strange for him to just sit back and let Cheongho’s disciples fight.
Perhaps Hwang Ji-ho would later reconfirm the power of Cheong-ho’s disciples under the pretext of testing the effectiveness of the elixir?
Eun-ho and Hwang Ji-ho were both leaders of the Ho clan.

“Jeok-ho or Je-ho won’t come, right?”
“I will come if I call, but I won’t. If circumstances permit, I would like to spend at least five years with my family.”
“You two don’t need to come here right now. If there is anything to convey, I will convey it later.”

“The bigger problem is Yong-je-geon. It seems he is still in the annex without any sense. No, he is probably pretending not to notice and watching.”
I quietly observed the tigers talking.
As I drank warm tea and watched the tigers talking about Jeok-ho’s family and Heuk-ho, the fight just now seemed distant.

I wanted to sit here without thinking about anything and watch that scene, but I couldn’t stay still.
I slowly thought back on what happened today.
Maybe it was because the room was warm, but since my thought circuit was much more stable than when I just got out of the typhoon, I was able to continue my thoughts calmly.

‘I may have been exposed to the mastermind, but I have also found out more. It was great to have found out that there was such a thing in advance.’
It was a great gain to find out that there was a truth that could distort the intellect in one breath and influence the powerful clans including Hwang Ji-ho.
It was painful that I couldn’t stop the evil darkness from falling to the mastermind, but it was also important information that Jinwoong Palseon dealt with the evil darkness and that Gunggi, one of the four evils, gained a powerful buff.

In terms of information value, it was meaningful enough to reveal that the white tiger’s restrictions could be lifted.
‘In addition, the white tiger could cut the evil darkness and was not greatly affected by the distorted intellect.’
The problem was that the white tiger’s restrictions could not be lifted at will.

Indulgences are consumable items and require sunlight during production, so they take time to make.
If the weather continues like this, it will be even harder to make.
The Heavenly Spirit doesn’t seem to say anything about using an Indulgence, so why don’t we just let it go?

We need to deal with the fact that the mastermind might set up camp and cause chaos again… … .
‘Wait a minute.’
While continuing my thoughts, I felt a sense of discomfort.

I watched the fight between the clans with the power of Cheon Dong-ha, so I saw clearly how everyone fought.
I felt a sense of discomfort when I compared the situation before and after my intellect was distorted.
‘Ungnyeo and the other Jinwoong Palseon were hardly affected. Jeokho and Cheongho, the clan couple, seemed to be affected a little, but not as much as Hwang Jiho or Cheongho’s disciples.’

It didn’t seem to be a simple difference between the clans and the Ung clans.
There were differences even among the clans.
Just as the legend of a white tiger killing a powerful clan doesn’t work because it is too ignorant, is it a difference in strength?

However, if it was simply a matter of strength, Hwang Ji-ho should have fought well as well.
‘It must be because Hwang Ji-ho was so good at handling his intellect that he was influenced by it. But I still have concerns about making that conclusion.’
What bothered me was Cheong-ho’s disciples.

Cheong-ho’s disciples became very slow when their intellects became distorted, and when they were forced to deal with the evil darkness while their bodies were not moving well, they almost panicked.
That’s not all.
Cheong-ho’s disciples grew up in similar environments, and some of them were twins.

However, although they were about the same, there seemed to be disciples who were relatively less affected.
‘And I was a little bit behind, but I was hardly influenced by his intellect.’
Although I am human, I have handled it myself, so it’s not like I have no connection to intellect.

As I considered the differences between those who were greatly influenced and those who were less influenced, a hypothesis was formed.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
When I almost finished thinking, I realized that the surroundings had become quiet.

At some point, the tigers were staring intently at my face.
“I wish Yisin had rested a bit, but I guess he came up with something again. Has it always been like this?”
“We have been indebted to our benefactors so many times. I wonder what conclusion he will reach this time.”

“I know.”
“Baekho, I didn’t ask.”
I think I was too relaxed and focused in front of the tigers.

I felt a little sorry that I got caught thinking about something else when the tigers were talking together so amicably.
Eunho looked at me as if he could see right through me and spoke to me.
“Yisin, can you tell me?”

“I was thinking about the criteria for the difference affected by distorted intelligence.”
The tigers made subtle expressions at my words.
They seemed to think it was unexpected, but Eunho said the reason.

“Yisin, you prioritize your intellect over the palace that you persistently pursued… I see. Let’s listen to your brother and think about the palace together.”
“Joeuishin worries about us before me.”
It wasn’t a thought that was made because he was worried about someone in particular.

Of course, the issue of intellect was more urgent than the palace.
Even if the palace appears right away, if you solve the issue of intellect, you will be able to respond much better.
I decided to ask the questions necessary to solidify my hypothesis.

“I have a question. Are Cheongho’s disciples good at handling intellect?”
“No. Even now, and in the past, they have no interest in handling intellect, and they don’t have any talent for it.”
Cheongho answered right away.

It didn’t seem like they were less affected just because they weren’t good at handling intellect.
The next question was one that only Hwang Ji-ho could answer.
“Did Cheong-ho’s disciples always act together? Haven’t they ever acted separately for long periods of time?”

Hwang Ji-ho thought back for a moment and answered.
“We didn’t always act together. We sometimes traveled separately to find Cheong-ho. But we often stayed in Eun-gwang-gu because we didn’t know when our master would return.
I was somewhat convinced by Hwang Ji-ho’s words.

If we divide the groups according to the degree of influence of the distorted intellect, they are as follows.
1. Hwang Ji-ho, Cheong-ho’s disciples
2. Jeok-ho, Ho-jok couple, Cheong-ho

3. Baek-ho-gun, me, Woong-nyeo, Jin-woong Pal-seon
When I compared the first group that was most influenced and the third group that was least influenced, I saw the answer.
I said my hypothesis.

“The power that the black curtain used to ruin intellect this time seems to be greatly influenced by those who spent time in Ho-jok’s new territory, Eun-gwang-gu. The reason there was a difference among Cheong-ho’s disciples must be because the time they spent in Eun-gwang-gu was somewhat different.”
The third group of white tigers used their powers to roam around here and there before becoming the beasts of the sacred realm.
It hadn’t been that long since I came to this world, and the bears didn’t bother to risk their lives to stay in the Silver Mine for a long time.

On the other hand, the tigers in the first group had been guarding this land for a long time.
“That makes sense, but I’m concerned about the red tiger and the tiger couple. They haven’t left the tiger’s sacred realm for thousands of years.”
Hwang Ji-ho, who knew well how tigers had lived for thousands of years, said.

It was natural to think that way when looking at the people in the second group.
Even if the whereabouts ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) of Cheong-ho’s body were unknown, it was clear that the red tiger and the tiger couple had been in the Silver Mine.
However, it was difficult to see them as just tigers who had stayed in the Silver Mine.

“The red tiger was tied up in a red frame, and the tiger couple was degenerating. They were in the Silver Mine, but they didn’t stay in the Silver Mine in their entirety.”
Eunho, who had noticed something when I mentioned the three groups, and the tigers except for the white tiger who had looked into my head let out a short exclamation of 'Ah!'
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that the power that distorted the intellect was something that the dark side who hated the heavenly gods would use.

If the White Tiger Army was sealed, if the Hojok remained exclusive, it would be absolutely impossible to destroy.
“To destroy this power, we would need the power of a Jinjok with little connection to the Eun Gwang-gu or a human who had lived for a short time.”
