Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

I was worried that the little Xiang Lu might have been hurt in the typhoon, but fortunately, he looked very healthy.

In fact, he looked even more energetic than usual.
“It’s rare to have a chance to make elixir for the clans of the Shinhwa world, including the leader, Hwang Ho! I thought I wouldn’t have a chance because there was a rumor that something big had happened among the clans, but I came in a hurry because I got a request.”
Unlike Xiang Lu, who brightened up as he spoke, the shadow on Hwang Ji Ho’s face grew bigger.

Not long after, the rumor seemed to have spread among the Jin clans, including Xiang Lu.
It was natural, since the clans actively tried to inform people of the existence of the Black Tiger and the whole story of what had happened back then.
‘It seems that even Xiang Lu, who seemed to be interested only in experiments, was concerned about this rumor.’

Rumors are rumors, but this was an opportunity to give elixir to the clans’ leader, Hwang Ji Ho, and the founder of the Taeho Fist, Cheong Ho, so he couldn’t miss it.
Even among the nobles, there were those who came to this hanok-style annex, which was mainly used as a clinic when Hyangrok came, in order not to miss this moment.
“White tiger, black tiger. Why did you come?”

“Don’t you always come to see it?”
“White tiger came, so I came too! It would have been nice if Red tiger could come too.”
It was a sight that a true friend could not miss.

The white tiger could figure out the situation through me, but it was amazing that he came here again.
Of course, the kind black tiger was very curious, so I could understand if he came.
Cheongho, who didn’t know about the misfortune that was coming, seemed to be thinking, ‘Are they really bored?’

I didn’t feel like playing around like Hwang Jiho, saying, “I’ll give you some pear soup.” So I decided to prepare a sweet dish for Cheongho in advance.
“Today’s request is a custom elixir for Hwangho and Cheongho, right? Since you’ve come all this way, I’d like to make one more elixir as a free gift!”
Hyangrok's words were mixed with joy and sorrow.

Suddenly, Hwang Jiho's eyes lit up, and the white tiger, black tiger, and I, who had been off guard, became nervous.
I know that it's not a matter of money, but of Hyangrok's strength, time, and concentration, so it's difficult to order in bulk, but I don't know why he's suddenly showing such unnecessary service spirit.
"I welcome such service, Hyangrok. I'll pay the full cost as an additional request. Choose whoever you want."
"Wow! Really? That's great. The intelligent test subjects just started a factional fight, so we wanted to double the recording equipment for precise observation. I'll take it without hesitation!"

Maybe because he was running around in the rain too excitedly, Hwang Jiho turned into a water ghost.
Hyangrok must have chosen a target in advance, because he immediately targeted the target and struck him with a bolt from the blue.
Hyangrok spoke to the black tiger, who was half-hiding behind the white tiger.

“I wonder what the condition of the Jinjok’s body will be like after his existence was erased and he returned. I also care about the effects of the elixir. Black Tiger, drink my elixir!”
“What? No!”
“Congratulations, Black Tiger. Not just anyone can drink Xiang Lu’s custom elixir.”

“If it’s that precious, Hwang Ho eats it more!”
Black Tiger was terrified.
I also wanted to feed Black Tiger something good, but I wondered if I should feed it to him when he hated it so much.

However, if I feed Black Tiger the elixir, he’ll get healthy, and Xiang Lu will be happy, so wouldn’t it be good in the end?
I decided to help Black Tiger drink the less-tasteful elixir at least.
“Black Tiger is healthy, so he doesn’t have to use the toxic elixir.”

“Huh?”
Wouldn’t a less toxic elixir taste better?
I was happy that I was able to preserve Black Tiger’s sense of taste, but Black Tiger had a betrayed expression on his face.

Hyang-rok looked at me and asked.
“Really? Black Tiger seems healthy. What about Jo-ui-shin?”
“I’m healthy too…….”

“Jo-ui-shin is not healthy.”
The white tiger suddenly interjected.
I wondered why that tiger was like that.

Seeing that he wanted to feed me the elixir so badly, it was clear that he shared his thoughts with Ga-ho but did not sense the taste.
“Then I’ll take Jo-ui-shin’s pulse.”
“If we’re going to do this, how about we prepare Jo-ui-shin’s elixir too? Jo-ui-shin’s health is not good, just like Baek-ho said.”

Suddenly, even his mother-in-law started talking nonsense.
I thought I should run away, but Hyang-rok had already grabbed my wrist with his small hand and started taking my pulse, so I couldn’t bring myself to shake him off.
Hyang-rok said while taking my pulse.

“Jo-ui-shin took elixir often, right? It’s better to give him a little time.”
Hyang-rok [N O V E L I G H T] was a wise pharmacist, so he didn’t fall for the white tiger’s trick!
However, Cheong-ho’s innocent words quickly dispelled the small joy.

“The time difference means you’ll eat it later.”
“Yeah, that’s right!”
Hyang-rok then said to me, who was out of his mind, “Are you going to find the higher being who takes care of your left eye?”, “Do you have my device code? Contact me if you get tired!”

If I contact him, he’ll be able to take the elixir, but what should I do?
I’ve occasionally greeted Hyang-rok, but it seems like it would be difficult to tell him how my body is doing.
While I was out of my mind, I suddenly came to my senses when I saw the white tiger snickering.

“I’ll check the taste buds of Cheong-ho and Heuk-ho. Show me your tongues!”
Hyang-rok seemed more concerned about the condition of his tongue than the journey or past history of the nobles who returned after thousands of years.
If someone like Seodol were here, he would ask the tigers questions and observe them until they were tired, but Hyangrok was different.

“You shouldn’t move.”
While Heukho was looking for a chance to run away with a sad expression, Cheongho became the first victim.
Hyangrok held Cheongho’s neck with one hand and a dropper filled with ominous liquid with the other.

Cheongho realized belatedly that something was wrong from the strong smell rising from the tip of the dropper, but it was already too late.
A drop of liquid fell on Cheongho’s tongue.
“……!”

“Hmm, your taste buds are normal! Your superpowers are responding well too.”
Cheongho displayed his will as a mythical world leader and didn’t move at all, but his eyes were like his soul had been taken out.
While Hyangrok did the same thing to Heukho, who was resisting, I handed Cheongho a box containing chocolate bonbons that I had put in my item window.

“Thank you, Yishin.”
Cheongho expressed his gratitude with moved eyes and ate chocolates one by one without stopping.
It wasn’t something that deserved gratitude, but since the tiger friends next to him were not helpful at all, he felt grateful to me in comparison.

Heukho then approached him with tearful eyes and said, “Give me some too!” so he took out another box.
Meanwhile, it was Hwang Jiho’s turn to watch this scene lively.
“Hwangho! You came as a person? I’ll take your pulse!”

“……Okay.”
Hwang Jiho seemed to have made up his mind as he watched his friends suffer.
Hyangrok didn’t do the taste test like he did for Cheongho and Heukho, but he took a closer look, feeling the pulses all over his body and looking into his pupils.

Hyangrok seemed most excited when he was examining Hwang Jiho.
After asking a few questions to check his body condition, Xiang Luo took his hand away and said.
“As expected, Hwang Ho’s body is interesting! You share your senses with your clone, right? When you take the elixir, you must take it with your own body, and while you are taking it, you must not use your clone’s sense of taste.”

“…….”
Hwang Ji Ho looked taken aback by Xiang Luo’s words.
He only had one mouth, so he could taste the elixir, but Hwang Ji Ho seemed to have used his clone’s sense of taste to disperse the taste of hell.

The white tiger who had been watching intervened again.
“I will keep an eye on you to make sure you take it with your own body or use another clone.”
“White Tiger…….”

There are ways to use the best talent of the Ho clan outside of fighting.
Hwang Ji Ho said it was okay to send it slowly, but Xiang Luo said with an enthusiastic expression that he would complete the elixir and send it to you as quickly as possible.
“Oh, I want to treat Ungjok for the first time in a long time, so if you need Ungnyeo’s share, let me know!”

“I guess Ungnyeo’s disease has spread quickly among the Jinjok who have lived for thousands of years. I see. Haven’t you ever seen Ungjok?”
The eyes of the tigers, except for Heukho who had his mouth full of chocolate, sharpened at the mention of Ungjok.
Hyangrok must have noticed the change in his eyes, but he responded nonchalantly.

“I didn’t meet him because I wanted to continue dealing with Hojok! I exchanged letters with the Bear of Joy for a bit, but when he asked me about something I didn’t know, I said I didn’t know, and he didn’t respond.”
The tigers calmed down a bit at the mention of the Bear of Joy.
Among the Eight Immortals of Jinwoong, he was one of the few bears who didn’t directly confront Hojok.

“What did the Bear of Joy ask?”
“Well, when you take my pulse, did you ask if I could feel the true name? It must have something to do with the magic that the Bear of Joy was studying?”
Hyangrok didn’t remember well, as he didn’t seem to have any intention of forming a relationship with the Ungjok while being at odds with the Hojok, but just knowing that the Bear of Joy was studying the true name was a great gain.

There are some Jinjok who have the courage to cross both legs at the same time like Yongjegeon, but there must be more Jinjok who made choices like Hyangrok.
‘On the other hand, there might be some Jinjok who chose the Ungjok instead of the Hojok.’
Just like the evil who chose the dark side.

Gunggi walked along the long corridor following the butterfly.
He returned without sleeping a single breath after carrying out the order in the storm, but Gunggi’s steps were full of energy.
Gunggi planned to report right away, but since he didn’t call, he had to wait all night.

‘You finally called me. ‘Have you finished checking?’
The order that Gung-gi received from him was conditional.
If Jinwoong Palseon wakes up, block Ungnyeo’s escape and have Ungjok kill Ungnyeo.

However, if the clan intervenes, prioritize the recovery of the evil darkness and Jinwoong Palseon over the extermination of Ungnyeo.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Gung-gi carried out his order.

It would have been even better if he had killed Ungnyeo, but it was a great feat to succeed in the mission alone in a situation where many clans of the mythical world were involved.
However, he seemed to be suspicious and wanted to check the situation through the chaos before receiving a report and confirming that there were no contradictions.
“Report.”

Into the darkness that he had reached following Nabi’s guidance.
His voice was heard.
The one still in the darkness harbored malice worthy of Gung-gi’s service.

Intoxicated by that malice, Gung-gi reported gently and affectionately.
The nobles who were there, the intervention of the Crow Demon King, they
The conversation, the reaction to the dark, etc., Gung-gi continued to report one by one.

However, Gung-gi did not report everything.
‘I cannot let that malice be trampled.’
Gung-gi reported about the person wearing a crow mask and looking like Yongjegeon.

However, Gung-gi called him ‘the one wearing a crow mask but presumed to be Yongjegeon.’
The Jinung Palseon who risked their lives to fight the Shinhwa-world’s powerful clans and Ungnyeo were located somewhat far away.
They had already confirmed in advance that they had noticed the contact between Gung-gi and the crow mask, but had not heard the detailed conversation.

Gung-gi’s eyes and tone of voice still overflowed with respect for him, and it was all sincere.
However, until the end, Gung-gi’s report did not include a single word about the immense malice held by the crow mask.
‘Crow mask. Ah, that’s it.’

Meanwhile, upon hearing the word crow mask, Nabi-ryeong immediately realized what Gung-gi was hiding.
Nabi-ryeong was a Jin tribe who was very sensitive to dreams, and she could sense the nightmares and terrible malice that the one wearing the crow mask was carrying.
She could also guess what Gung-gi was thinking after hearing that malice.

Nabi-ryeong laughed in the darkness as she saw Gung-gi off.
‘I finally found it.’
Since he was obsessed with the malice of the mastermind, there was no place to dig until now.

However, Nabi-ryeong finally succeeded in finding a gap.
Gung-gi’s loyalty had already been cracked, and the crow mask was filling that gap.
