Chapter 541: Eungwang High entrance exam (3)

Support Ex-Rank

Yeom Junyeol didn’t appear the day the Bear Clan infiltrated Eungwang High.

Both in PMH and in this world.

What would’ve happened if Yeom Junyeol was around that day?

At that time, the gymnasium where Group 13 took the practical exam, was locked out with an N+ rank boundary.

In terms of that level of rarity, most Eungwang High students could break it down, but the boundary was strengthened by the strength of the royal lineage.

‘But it’s not like Yeom Junyeol can’t pierce through it. He’ll summon Hongryong and everything would work it. He can’t break it as easily as Baekho-gun but...’

What would have happened if Yeom Junyeol had come?

According to Kim Shinrok, other than the Bear Clan, there was another traitor from the 12-point alliance.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com Junyeol is one of the targets of the Black Screen, so he would’ve been eliminated if he got in the way.

‘If Yeom Junyeol and Kim Shinrok were targeted at the same time, then the Dragon and Tiger Clans would join hands. The Black Screen would want to get rid of them at different times but... killing the two of them at once would be better than missing the chance to kill Kim Shinrok.’

So many things went downhill in PMH after Kim Shinrok’s death.

Even if it meant making the Dragon Clan their enemy earlier than scheduled, they’d take the opportunity to get rid of Kim Shinrok still.

Anyone who would’ve fought beside Kim Shinrok would be exterminated, regardless if they were descendants of humans.

‘Yeom Junyeol would’ve been killed first instead of Kim Shinrok.’

If Yeom Junyeol came, the possibility of Group 13 surviving would increase, but he would’ve been put in a very dangerous situation.

The thought of it sent a chill down my spine.

The thought of Yeom Junyeol dying before I came to this world.

“...Jegun hyung?”

Yong Jegun showed little response to Yeom Junyeol’s call.

Yeom Junyeol seemed to be worried that the shaman Hong would be scolded or subjected to Yong Jegun’s mischief.

Yong Jegun smiled, his face hard to fathom.

“Honestly, I heard from Hong too. That that it would rain.”

Kim Shinrok looked surprised at Yong Jegun’s words, while Yeom Junyeol was just relieved.

“Oh, I see you heard it from Shaman Hong too, Jegun hyung.”

“Yeah, I heard that it would rain. So I stayed in the Red Lion team building that day. I was going to hang out with Shinrok-ie after the exam, but I was worried about the rain.”

“Who are you worried about.”

“You, Shinrok-ie.”

Kim Shinrok frowned.

I know he’s worried about Yong Jegun going out on a rainy day, but he doesn’t seem to want to make it obvious.

Kim Shinrok tried to refute, but he stopped talking when he saw Yong Jegun’s playful face.

He seemed to have an ominous hunch and so he shut his mouth.

“What a shame. If you had talked back, I would’ve told you some old stories, Shinrok-ah.”

“...”

“Old stories?”

“Yeah, from when Shinrok-ie was young. I get weaker when I get hit by the rain, so Hwangho-ssi’s stored valuables were—”

“Stop.”

If Yeom Junyeol weren’t around, Kim Shinrok would’ve attacked Yong Jegun by now.

For a moment, I thought I saw some tacks on Kim Shinrok’s hand.

...But I’m curious about what Yong Jegun was about to say.

What did the young Kim Shinrok do to Hwang Jiho’s things?

Baekho-gun said Kim Shinrok was an eventful child, and it doesn’t seem to be an exaggeration.

“You two seem to be really close. Oh...?”

Yeom Junyeol, who was looking at the two with a smile, suddenly tilted his head.

I guess something bothered him about what he just heard.

He looked somewhere far, his mouth dropping open as if he was trying to remember something.

“I... I don’t think you were there when I came back home that day, Jegun hyung. I was about to talk to you about what happened at the school. Uncle Cheongryong told me to talk to you later on because you said you were going to go somewhere.”

Kim Shinrok’s anger visibly died at Yeom Junyeol’s words.

I turned off message notifications during dinner, and my inbox greeted me with several messages.

The first thing that caught my attention was the one sent by the tigers.

[Eun Jaeho] (Photo)

[Eun Jaeho] Thanks for the gift, Euishin hyung!

Eunho’s descendants received the gift of support for their entrance exam.

In the group message room with the descendants, the youngest Eun Haeho sent several photos.

His photography skills made my humble gift look fancy.

It was some school supplies, including a bookmark with a message of support, a silver fork set with a tiger embossed on it, and a bowl.

‘I thought Ok Toyeon would send them rice cakes so I sent them something else.’

The background of the photo showed a box of glutinous rice cakes.

Ok Toyeon seemed to have sent three gift sets of all kinds.

Other than Eun Seoho and Eun Iho who will take the test, Eun Jaeho also has his share.

I did the same thing too.

The descendants sent a picture of them eating rice cakes with the fork that I gave them.

[Eun Seoho] We’ll do well with the exam. Thank you for the gift.

[Eun Iho] We’ll be your number one hoobae, Euishin oppa!

Eunho descendants were already the best even if they don’t do well on the test.

Still, I didn’t have the heart to discourage the kids with unnecessary words, so I decided to reply with more words of encouragement.

The next message was from another tiger.

[Hwang Jiho] I checked your gift for the descendants, Jo Euishin. They’re overjoyed.

[Hwang Jiho] I’m sure the kids already thanked you, but I’ll say it too. Thank you.

The conversation up to that point was normal, but the next messages weren’t.

[Hwang Jiho] But if you’re going to come tomorrow, why don’t you spend the night here?

[Hwang Jiho] Isn’t it more efficient to sleep here than go home and have to come here early the next morning?

[Hwang Jiho] You’re not even reading my messages.

[Hwang Jiho] Are you with Kim Shinrok? You two can come to the mansion together.

Hwang Jiho must’ve tracked our devices during dinner.

But Kim Shinrok won’t be going to the mansion.

Jiikhoe will have a final inspection tomorrow morning in preparation for the entrance exam, so Kim Shinrok would have to be present as the adviser.

Hwang Jiho seemed to have remembered it late.

[Hwang Jiho] No, Kim Shinrok has work to do with the Jiikhoe...

[Hwang Jiho] Jo Euishin, are you coming?

It’s late, so I have no intention to go.

I don’t think I would’ve gone either even if I checked it earlier.

As I tried to close the message window, I heard another notification.

It was a message from Yong Jegun.

A file containing his report.

[Yong Jegun] (Attached file)

[Yong Jegun] See you tomorrow, Euishin-ah.

[Yong Jegun] ^^

The “^^” was unnecessary.

I’m sure the contents of the attached file are heavy, so he must’ve used an emoticon to relieve some of it.

...Considering Yong Jegun’s personality though, maybe that’s not the case.

Maybe he’s just looking forward to my reaction after reading the report.

Whatever Yong Jegun had in mind, I had work to do now that I received the report.

‘There should be clues that Yong Jegun got when I put him through a nightmare. I should check this thoroughly.’

Reading Yong Jegun’s report several times, sunlight reached my dormitory room.
