Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Silver Global Stadium.

Immediately after the giant alien simulator was put into operation.

In the center of the stadium, only the defense team facing the huge alien gap remained.

The Korean national team's defense team consisted of five people: the defense captain was third-year Heo Chae-ah, and the defense team members were second-year Maeng Hyo-don, Andain, Joo Su-hyeok, and first-year Cha Seok-won.

The defense team had some time to spare as no enemies had yet appeared from the alien gap.

"Oh, where did the vice-captain go?"

"The attack team moved inside the alien simulator. We can't see it with the naked eye from our position."

Joo Su-hyeok answered Maeng Hyo-don's question.

In addition, the operation principle of the simulator using the power wave and electricity was briefly explained, but Maeng Hyo-don didn't understand anything other than the fact that the attack team members, including Jo Eui-shin, would not be visible.

However, some people with good senses, including Maeng Hyo-don, noticed that when the simulator was just activated, a power other than the supernatural and electric power was at work.

Maeng Hyo-don looked down at the stadium floor with an uneasy feeling.

‘Didn’t a huge amount of power come up from the ground? It seems a bit different from the supernatural… … .’

In addition to the Korean players, there were also some Chinese and Japanese players who sensed this, but they didn’t point it out.

They thought that since Korea had abundant intellect, they were using their intellect to activate the supernatural simulator, so they didn’t think much of it.

The Korean students, who knew about the operating principles of the supernatural simulator installed in the Eun Gwang Global Stadium, were curious, but for now, they wanted to watch.

Most of them thought the same as Maeng Hyo-don.

‘There are teachers and kids from our class outside. If anything happens, they’ll take care of it.’

The defense team trusted those who came to the stadium, and now they wanted to repay their support.

Maeng Hyo-don stared at the audience seats that were dimly visible due to the opaque barrier.

Even though he couldn’t see well, the cheering section of Class 0, overflowing with aurora, was clearly visible.

The distracting thoughts gradually disappeared from Maeng Hyo-don’s mind.

“The enemy is coming.”

Heo Chae-ah warned while looking at the gap in the other world.

Currently, the Korean, Chinese, and Japanese defense forces were divided into three directions and surrounded the gap in the other world, each with their backs turned to the giant gate where the barrier was deployed.

According to the scenario, the defense force must block the expansion of the SSR+-grade relic-type other world that occurred in the stadium.

The defense force can either approach the gap in the other world and actively subdue the enemy, or they can choose to hold out in front of the barrier.

Whichever way they choose is up to them, but each time the barrier in front of the gate that the team is guarding is damaged, they will lose points, and the moment their durability reaches 0, the team will be disqualified.

You can get good scores by defeating many enemies and accumulating contribution points, but you can’t neglect the basics of the defense force, defense.

“Don’t forget that in addition to the enemy’s defeat rate, the durability of the barrier is also reflected in the score. Suhyeok and Hyodon will be in charge of the front. I will go with you and put up a shield in the front when we make contact with the enemy, so charge in comfortably. Dain and Seokwon can attack from a distance, so wait in front of the barrier and provide support.”

The tension of the defense force eased a little as Heo Chae-ah gave instructions in a calm voice.

All of the instructions Heo Chae-ah gave were basic, but it wasn’t easy to stick to the basics on a large stage with many variables.

“Then I will send a signal as soon as I finish analyzing the enemies.”

When the defense force materialized their weapons and took their positions, several enemies were created simultaneously.

Heo Chae-ah’s expression became slightly clouded when she saw the enemy taking shape, but her voice as she gave orders did not show any signs of agitation.

As the captain of the garrison, Heo Chae-ah calmly relayed the facts to the unit.

All of the enemies that appeared were SSR-level or higher, and even though they were enemies drawn to the SSR+ level, it was somewhat strange that there were not a single SR-level enemy among those numbers.

“The rarity is higher than expected. The battle will take longer. Consider a level higher than SSR+ and use your superpowers sparingly.”

Cha Seok-won opened his eyes wide in surprise when he heard that, but the other three were different.

Joo Soo-hyuk, Andain, and Maeng Hyo-don seemed to be brimming with enthusiasm.

“We can do worthwhile work in the garrison too. That’s fortunate.”

“I was worried that there would be nothing to do in the rear. Most enemies are dealt with by Soo-hyuk and Hyo-don. I think I can do it too.”

“Isn’t there a higher rarity than that? I hope that comes out too.”

Not only the Korean national team, but also the Chinese and Japanese national teams seemed to welcome the high rarity.

There didn’t seem to be a single student who would be dissatisfied with the match being held at a higher rarity than what Yeom Jun-yeol had chosen.

The heads of each national team who were watching the students outside the stadium spoke.

[The Chinese national team agrees to continue the match. This is fine.]

[The Japanese national team too.]

The voices of Dong Xiaodan and Kozuka Yashiro were transmitted over the radio.

While the defense team was clashing with the enemy, the heads of each national team received an emergency radio message from the operations team.

The content was that the rarity was higher than the value set in the other-world simulator.

The coaches of each team decided to check the students’ condition and ask if they would like to continue the match, and China and Japan quickly agreed.

[The Korean national team will agree.]

Then, the head of the Korean national team, Yong Je-geon, also agreed.

A brief silence spread as Yong Je-geon’s sly voice spread over the radio.

Originally, Yong Je-geon was one of the coaches for the Korean national team, but he was not the head of the team.

However, just before the opening, the Korean national team went through proper procedures and selected Yong Je-geon as the head of the team.

This was a desperate measure that had to be taken when it was revealed that Kozuka Yashiro was a fox clan.

Since the Jin clan is the one who can recognize the Jin clan, Jo Ui-shin suggested that Yong Je-geon be placed in the position with the most freedom and authority, and Hwang Ho agreed.

Hwang Ho, who was listening to the radio, sighed as he heard that carefree voice.

“I don’t know if it’s okay to put Yong Je-geon in that position.”

“There’s no other way. We need to deploy Jinjok or descendants, but we can’t put Jeokho-nim’s son in danger when we don’t know what the fox will do.”

“That’s right. That one Yu-hee-gye dragon is enough to put him in a dangerous situation.”

VIP seats at Eun-gwang Global Stadium.

In this separate room, Hwang-ho and Eun-ho, who currently look like Hwang Myeong-ho, were there.

Hwang-ho had planned to watch the game here from the beginning, and Eun-ho had planned to watch it here with the chairman under the pretense of interviewing and covering the story.

They had gathered just to anticipate what kind of performance the benefactor of the Hojok would show, but now they were busy dealing with an unexpected event.

“You said that the power of the seal that Hwang-ho-nim engraved was activated. And you also said that you felt another power besides that.”

“Yes. I felt that power around Jo-ui-shin a few times.”

Hwang-ho had been there a few times when the power of destiny was activated.

Although he couldn't tell what the power was, he could guess that Jo Eui-shin was avoiding talking about it in detail.

"Information is scarce. Is the analysis of the otherworld simulator done yet?"

Shh!

As if he had heard Hwang Ho's urging, his secretary contacted him immediately.

Hwang Ho responded immediately.

"Report."

[I'm reporting. There is no problem with the otherworld simulator's process. The raid team is also monitoring, but the parallax phenomenon due to space-time distortion is within the expected range considering its rarity.]

"How much is the parallax?"

[The exact calculations haven't been completed yet. Real-time broadcasting and communication are impossible due to the parallax, but all raid members' vital signs have been confirmed to be normal.]

It was certain that the raid members inside the simulator were safe, but Hwang Ho couldn't rest easy.@@novelbin@@

The current raiders entered the Gaecheon Myth, which was implemented by adding the land’s intelligence and the mysterious power of the god of the underworld to the otherworld simulator that was running at high rarity.

Thinking about the situation the Korean peninsula was in 5,000 years ago and the fierce battles the powerful clans fought, they could not feel at ease at all.

Furthermore, the stories passed down as myths did not fully contain the situation at that time.

Although Jo Eui-shin had researched the Gaecheon Myth, he would have some knowledge, so it was a headache for others.

Hwang Ho asked his secretary.

“Are the safety devices working properly?”

[Yes, I checked. If you input the escape command or take a certain amount of damage, the simulation for that player will end.]

“Can I see the internal situation now?”

[The time difference is large, so it will take some time to process. It seems like it will take more than thirty minutes for the otherworld simulator to process the records. In the meantime, I plan to conduct a relay centered around the defense unit.]

Hwang Ho asked a few more questions, but did not receive the answers he wanted.

Other than the short video showing the raid members falling into the Gaecheon Myth upon entering, there was almost no clue to the internal situation.

The only consolation was that the vital signs of the raid members were currently within the normal range.

“The functions built into the otherworld simulator were not for relay, but for training records. It can’t be helped that information isn’t transmitted in real time. Since vital signs and supernatural states seem to be transmitted in real time, we have no choice but to thoroughly check them.”

Time currently passes faster inside the otherworld simulator than outside.

To be precise, the sense of time felt by those inside is distorted.

It was similar to the long time the Silver Advertisement people experienced when they were trapped in the school in First Christmas.

Therefore, it was difficult to observe the internal situation in real time from outside.

Also, the otherworld simulator, which was created for training, is supposed to periodically write reports to report the internal situation to the outside, but there were many variables at present, so it was questionable whether the raid members’ situation would be fully transmitted.

“I think Hwangho is worried about Eui-shin hyung a lot.”

“Anyone who experienced that era would be worried.”

“Is that so? For something like that, Baekho hyung doesn’t say anything.”

Eun-ho said as he looked back at Baekho.

Baekho volunteered to watch the stadium live today, which was rare, and came here.

Baekho closed his eyes and meditated silently, then opened his eyes after hearing Eun-ho’s words.

“Baekho hyung, do you see the place where the dragon tribe is sitting? They are worried about Yeom Jun-yeol, but they are still quiet. 

I think they think they can use this to communicate.”

Eunho said, pointing to the seats where those waving Hongryong cheering sticks were sitting.

As Eunho said, they seemed to be dissatisfied that they couldn’t see Yeom Junyeol because the live broadcast wasn’t working, but they didn’t seem too worried.

Baekho looked at them expressionlessly and then looked at Eunho.

Eunho was still smiling with a gentle expression.

“Joeuishin will be fine.”

Baekho turned his eyes and stared at the hologram showing the defense unit that had entered the battle.

The hologram also showed a gap in the other world that was not losing momentum.

It was evidence that the other world’s conquest was sluggish.

Baekho looked at this and said as if talking to himself.

“But it seems like it’ll take time.”

Even after confirming that the relic-type other world had implemented the Gaecheon myth, the raiders wanted to gather information to determine the exact era.

The Gaecheon myth was not a single event, but a term referring to a long period of history and tales.

We had to know exactly what moment in the Gaecheon myth we were in.

Fortunately or unfortunately, before we began gathering information, we had a clue.

“The surroundings are getting darker and darker. Looking at the position of the sun, it’s not sunset yet, and there aren’t many clouds… … I feel like the light isn’t reaching the ground.”

“That’s not a good sign. That’s when the sky over the Korean Peninsula is covered in darkness.”

Yeom Jun-yeol and Dokgo Mi-ro seemed to be thinking the same thing.

The foreign enemy targeting the Korean Peninsula covered the sky with evil darkness, cutting off the voice of the heavenly god.

And if the evil darkness was rising now, it was likely at that time.

“The fact that darkness has not yet covered the sky means that the enemy has not succeeded in assassinating him.”

“If it’s assassination, then surely… … .”

Gwak Kyung-gu must have studied the Gaecheon myth, or he must have realized who I was referring to.

I continued my explanation.

“Soon, the god who leads the noble clan will be attacked. If even the leader of the Ung clan is assassinated, the evil darkness will completely cover the sky of the Korean peninsula.”
