During the Christmas Eve incident, Cheon Dong-ha was on Jeju Island.

When the barrier blocking Eun Gwang-go was deployed, Cheon Dong-ha was on a plane.

After hearing the news of Eun Gwang-go, Cheon Dong-ha tried to return to school right away.

That day, otherworlds occurred all over the Korean Peninsula, and the satellite player SAT-K was in a bad condition, so they were unable to properly operate their already insufficient power.

Since they could not expect any help from outside, Cheon Dong-ha tried to return to school as a Eun Gwang-go person and fight.

However, because of the otherworld that occurred around the airport and port, neither planes nor ships could take off, so they had to call a helicopter, and Cheon Dong-ha had a schedule that was difficult to cancel right away.

“You look a lot like the late President Cheon.”

“They look like real brothers when they’re standing close together.”

The top floor of the Jeju Island branch of TC Group’s air hotel, ‘Snow and Air.’

Cheon Dong-ha had to deal with the board of directors and a middle school student who might be his younger brother.

The middle school student had something in common with Cheon Dong-ha in terms of appearance, and he was also very talented.

It was possible that the authors had actually found Cheon Dong-ha’s younger sibling and brought him here.

Normally, Cheon Dong-ha would have been interested in the child who might be his younger sibling, but he couldn’t do that now.

‘You know what’s going on, but you’re deliberately being slow and wasting time.’

It was strange that there was a meal order and a break time for the paternity test in the first place.

There was nothing to gain from stalling for time.

The only benefit they saw was to irritate Cheon Dong-ha, who was a thorn in their side.

Some moderates and neutral board members tried to expedite the process by being considerate of Cheon Dong-ha, but some board members held them back by making obvious tricks.

After a long process of paternity test results, it was revealed that the middle school student was a distant relative, but not Cheon Dong-ha’s younger sibling.

As soon as the results came out, Cheon Dong-ha also ran out in a half-hearted manner.

He planned to take the helicopter waiting on the hotel rooftop and go straight to Eun Kwang-go.

“Over there!”

The middle school student who was found to be a fake illegitimate child called Cheon Dong-ha, but Cheon Dong-ha continued to walk forward.

The middle school student’s eyes were filled with curiosity and longing.

Perhaps the sly people had lured the child and told him that he could meet Cheon Dong-ha, the Ahn Jung-ji-gye.

The middle school student knew that he had been taken in without knowing anything because he resembled [N O V E L I G H T] the children of the Cheon family and had suddenly undergone a paternity test, but he had no time or leisure to be affectionate.

Cheon Dong-ha handed him a business card as if he was throwing it at him.

“This is my device code. If you have anything to say, contact me later.”

Before he could hear the answer, Cheon Dong-ha continued running and boarded the helicopter.

Then, he realized belatedly that the middle school student had outstanding skills that allowed him to catch up with and talk to Dong-ha Cheon, who was running at full speed.

However, when he soon saw the disaster that had befallen Eun-gwang High School, all his feelings for the boy evaporated.

‘... ... It’s too late.’

When Dong-ha Cheon arrived at Eun-gwang High School, the sun had already set.

Eun-gwang High School was sealed off by a frozen barrier filled with an unknown poison, and the area around the school had been devastated by multiple other worlds that had suddenly appeared.

The association and the professional player teams on standby had not yet been able to come to Eun-gwang High School due to other worlds that had occurred all over the country.

If only the students outside the school at that time, or the friends and families of the students inside, hadn’t rushed in and fought desperately, the city might not have been in chaos, but rather in another world.

‘The situation inside must be even more serious.’

The situation outside the school was bad, but Dong-ha Cheon guessed that something even scarier was happening inside.

Eun Gwang High School had already lost students and teachers within the school, but follow-up measures were not properly taken, and the teachers and the school system became even more rotten and corrupted than before.

Cheon Dong-ha used Gwangrim’s ‘Eyes Embracing Geon-Gon’ to find the gap in the barrier and the person who activated it, but he found nothing.

While Cheon Dong-ha was caught, those who had been manipulating the veins within the school, killing the remaining powerful families, targeted students, and Eun Gwang High School members who witnessed this, escaped Eun Gwang High School.

The gap in the barrier they had created for escape had already been filled, and the person who handled the barrier had long since left.

‘There’s nothing I can know. All I know is that the barrier surrounding Eun Gwang High School right now seems to be blocking escapes from within more thoroughly than intrusions from the outside.’

In the end, Cheon Dong-ha was unable to obtain any clues.

Instead, as one of the players, I participated in the normalization of the school area.

Since there were some pretty skilled players on the west gate side, the damage to the shops including MITRON was minimal, and I continued to attack anxiously around this area.

Fortunately, the school area attack was easy thanks to the presence of strong reinforcements.

“You’re that guy from the leadership club!”

“Who is he?”

“He’s the member of the leadership club who interfered with our old school teacher’s ritual last year. He was a first-year student at that time, so he must be a second-year student now.”

The identity of the reinforcements was the Class 0 Alumni Association, a group of students from Class 0 of Eun-gwang High School who graduated.

Among them, the secretary of the Alumni Association was the class president of Class 0 of the third grade last year, so he often clashed with the leadership club member, Cheon Dong-ha, so even though they weren’t close, he couldn’t help but recognize him.

They were said to have been preparing a party at the Alumni Association Hall for Christmas, and when they heard the news, they headed straight for Eun-gwang High School.

He said that the reason he arrived a little late was because it took time to deal with the otherworld blocking his view.

“We came to save the juniors of Class 0!”

Currently, there are almost no students from Class 0, Grade 1.

Class 0, Grade 2, has rarely shown up at school events since Jegal Jae-geol’s retirement.

It seemed that the ones they had come to save were Class 0, Grade 3, and Woo Ki-hwan’s gang.

‘Senior Woo Ki-hwan is coming to school today, so the leadership team decided to keep an eye on him.’

As the school became chaotic due to various incidents, the number of confrontations between Im Yeon-hwa and Woo Ki-hwan’s gang decreased, and the atmosphere calmed down and things proceeded quietly.

Also, Woo Ki-hwan’s gang used to wander Cheoniksan Mountain, but at some point, the land and grass began to rot and die, so they were unable to climb the mountain.

The Woo Ki-hwan gang, who said they didn't want to go to school, were uncooperative with the school events, but when Im Yeon-hwa made a condition that they would play with them when they returned from their business trip if they participated in the Christmas charity event, they came to school despite their annoyance.

"Woo Ki-hwan is not a guy who will die easily."

As the battle dragged on, casualties continued to appear in the Class 0 alumni association, but no one gave up.

As the night grew deeper, support finally arrived, and the barrier, which had exhausted its strength and role, finally returned to normal.

It was midnight, Christmas Eve, when they set foot on Eun-gwang High School.

Cheon Dong-ha headed to the place where the most students were gathered.

The exhausted students were fighting in the student center surrounded by enemies.

There were also the Class 0 students that the Class 0 alumni association was looking for there.

And just as the Class 0 alumni association secretary said, it was proven that Woo Ki-hwan did not die easily.

Woo Ki-hwan barely managed to protect all the students of Class 0, Grade 3, except for himself, and died in battle.

“That crazy bastard was talking nonsense, saying that the order of death was Do-won Woo Ki-hwan.”

“A really crazy bastard...... A crazy bastard.......”

“You’re saying you protected all the kids in the class? You were the leader of our class, but you couldn’t protect us.......”

The enemy he had learned persistently targeted the arm playing the haegeum, and the vice president of Class 0, Grade 3, cried with both arms missing.

Even if he received regeneration treatment, it was unclear whether he would be able to play as delicately as before.

The class 0 alumni association, who had been talking a lot, were dumbfounded at the sight.

Excluding the students of Class 0, Grade 3 who had been hiding somewhere else and arrived at the student center late, most of the third-year students who had been protecting the lower grades died in battle.

“Senior.......”

All the seniors who had been close to Cheon Dong-ha were lying on the cold floor, covered by curtains.

When I told him my schedule for today, there was Oh Hye-ji, the head of the student council, who said not to worry because she would do her share, Do Won-woo, who acted like the student council president all year, Yoo Sang-hee, who I was always worried about, and Ji Myeong-soo, who had failed the interview for the chrysanthemum fragrance but had said that he would definitely join the pro player team.

Seong Si-wan was not at the student council building, but news of the discovery of the bodies came.

Cheon Dong-ha found Ma Jin-seung, crouching in front of the bodies of the seniors of the student council wearing a tattered reindeer costume.

“Jin-seung, let me see where you’re hurt.”

Instead of comforting him awkwardly, Cheon Dong-ha examined Ma Jin-seung’s body.

Ma Jin-seung looked up at Cheon Dong-ha with swollen eyes and said blankly.

“I’m okay, but the seniors are really hurt.”

“I’m bleeding like this, where are you okay?”

None of the seniors that Ma Jin-seung had mentioned as being badly hurt survived.

After examining the injured, including Ma Jin-seung, Cheon Dong-ha began searching and investigating the survivors.

Most of the survivors were found in the student union building, but some students and faculty members showed up in unexpected places.

Heo Chae-ah and the library club members who were in the basement of the central library, a small number of first and second year dormitory students who waited for Seong Si-wan who never returned, and others who hid in specific buildings in the old school building and the research building.

After finding all the survivors, Cheon Dong-ha did not have time to be sad and continued the investigation using his eyes.

This was because he judged that he had to move before those who were trying to minimize and cover up this incident destroyed the evidence and clues.

‘They did this, but there is no trace other than the fact that the Demons were involved.’

However, Cheon Dong-ha found nothing.

National Assembly member Seong Guk-eon also actively started an early investigation into this incident, but he obtained nothing.

The one who made this move considered Cheon Dong-ha’s eyes and Seong Guk-eon’s insight and was perfectly prepared.

Although he didn’t get any clues, Cheon Dong-ha noticed that there was a huge and terrible being making numbers in the distance.

‘It’s not a coincidence that I wasn’t at Eun Gwang High School that day, and I came late.’

Since the seniors who were stronger than Cheon Dong-ha died in battle, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference in terms of military power whether he was there or not.

So the reason he wanted to keep Cheon Dong-ha away was probably because of his eyes. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

It was clear that something that shouldn’t have been witnessed at Eun Gwang High School had happened.

Cheon Dong-ha saw something on campus.

He guessed that something had prevented him from entering the silver advertisement in order to prevent him from seeing anything inside or outside.

‘But the opponent grabbed my ankle. He must have been buying time so that I wouldn’t see anything inside or outside.’

There were no clues left in the barrier or around it, but Cheon Dong-ha was certain that someone had come and gone through the barrier.

They had not been confident that they could fool Cheon Dong-ha’s eyes, so they had kept him for a long time.

Cheon Dong-ha succeeded in reading the opponent’s intentions, but there were still questions.

‘Considering that he killed Won-woo, the opponent would never let me off the hook just because I was a member of the TC Group. So why did he play such a complicated game while keeping me alive?’

If he killed Cheon Dong-ha, there would be no need to be wary of him and play such a game.

A very simple and clear fact interrupted Cheon Dong-ha’s thoughts.

‘Did he think that I could leave a clue or relay it to the outside right after I witnessed something? Then he could have killed me before I witnessed it. Or is it all a coincidence and I was overthinking it from the beginning? No, that can’t be.’

Cheon Dong-ha couldn’t find the answer to this question.

Cheon Dong-ha’s blind spot in his thinking was that he didn’t know what his opponent was really aiming for.

That’s why he didn’t know that his opponent was trying to use him as a chess piece until the moment of his death.
