“Kuk-eon is not someone who will disappear like that. There must be something.”

Yeom Bang-yeol did not believe the media that Sung-guk-eon and Jeon Mu-yeong voluntarily went into hiding.

As soon as the two disappeared, the major media outlets spread unconfirmed facts, claiming that Sung-guk-eon must have gotten tired of the ridiculous scandals he had been suffering.

Those who were close to Sung-guk-eon did not believe it at all, but his supporters were gradually wavering.

There were also movements by players to find Sung-guk-eon, but this did not go as planned.

As the frequency and rarity of the other world increased rapidly, the peace of the Korean Peninsula was gradually collapsing, so there was no time to dwell on the disappearance of two people. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

And when Sung-guk-eon disappeared, the revision of the Player Special Act was progressing quietly and quickly to a frightening degree.

The legislative process takes months, or at most years, but the revision of the Players’ Special Act was unprecedentedly fast, and some criticized it as shaking the foundation of a country governed by the rule of law, but the voices of those who advocated for the revision of the Players’ Special Act were overwhelmingly louder.

‘The revision process is this fast, and there are so many changes? Wait, what is this... ... .’

The revision bill, which was hundreds of pages long and overflowing with unnecessary flesh as if to hide something, also contained some chilling content.

Now, instead of responding to players who have gone wild according to the association regulations, they can immediately punish them.

Even those who have committed murder or terrorism in front of you had to meet strict conditions to be recognized as self-defense, but according to this revision bill, anyone can legally kill a player so easily.

In addition, the conditions for determining a player who has gone wild in the relevant legal provision were set extremely leniently, such as ‘if the player has gone wild, or if there are signs of going wild.’

[Player Special Law Amendment Bill, Fear Imminent]

[Byun Jae-ik, the representative lawyer of Law Firm Byunwol, pushes for a constitutional petition for the so-called ‘Player Killing Permission Act’]

No one listened even when Byun Jae-ik raised his voice.

The media was quiet, but the school newspaper club was different.

Led by Moon Sae-ron, the newspaper club interviewed Byun Jae-ik and conducted in-depth research on this special law to spread articles.

Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang were furious and tried to take down the newspaper club’s articles or even find fault with them to disband the newspaper club, but they failed.

This was because Geum Chan-sol and Wang Chan-sol, who had been so quiet that you couldn’t {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} tell whether they were going to school or not, suddenly started causing a commotion.

‘Teacher Jegal Jae-geol was the newspaper club’s advisor. He must want to protect what his teacher left behind. The Stalemate Chess Club, where Je Geon-i was the advisor, was shut down... ... .’

The 3rd grade class 0, led by Du Chansol, made such a fuss that it seemed like several buildings would collapse if they touched the newspaper club.

Also, they conducted background checks on teachers who threatened to lower their performance evaluation scores if the newspaper club members did not leave, and they openly threatened them by projecting firecrackers and holograms of their private lives.

“The kids in class 0 are noisy, so you want us to deal with it? Check who sent that request.”

“The sender is the homeroom teacher of class 0, grade 3.”

“The guy Choi Pyeon-deok put in as the successor to teacher Jegal Jae-geol...... bastard...... no, he’s a teacher. If you want to continue as the homeroom teacher of class 0, you have to get used to it. Let’s leave him alone.”

The student council and the leadership team that were in charge of class 0 also pretended not to know at that time, so Choi Pyeon-deok and his gang had to deal with them, but they couldn’t handle it with their supernatural abilities.

In addition, the Geumchanwangchan gang had such a strong backing that they were not expelled even after doing such things, so it was difficult to touch them.

That does not mean that the students of Class 0 who fiercely resisted were not harmed, but thanks to their struggle to protect the legacy of Jegal Jaegyeol, the newspaper club was safe.

However, it was impossible to change public opinion with just the articles published by Eun Gwang High School's newspaper club.

The Korean Peninsula was quiet, but overseas, there was chaos over the enactment of a law to suppress players in Korea.

[Raixian] My friend Junyeol, I heard the news from Korea.

[Raixian] Don't forget how I suppressed the rampage. If there is anything I can do to help, please tell me.

When Yeom Junyeol visited a player training center in China, he received a long-awaited call from Pan Laixian (范来贤), who he had been close with.

Pan Laixian was a player who had gone rampant during the Chonglai Mountains Incident, but had succeeded in completely controlling it and gained great power.

Pan Laixian, who boasted outstanding skills even in a training center with many excellent players, was very happy that Yeom Junyeol came and became close to him while he was feeling sorry that there was no exchange match with Korea.

‘Even Laixian overseas is worried.’

Yeom Junyeol chose words to reassure Pan Laixian and wrote a message, but the situation on the Korean Peninsula gradually worsened.

Bad news poured in, unfortunate incidents occurred one after another, and the atmosphere on Eun Gwang High School became gloomy.

The atmosphere on campus was most visible in the condition of Cheoniksan Mountain and the trees on campus.

The landscaping area, the forest around Cheongrang Lake, the walking path in the residential area, and even the plants in the greenhouse and garden managed by the research area were all dying.

The plants in the pots were fine, but the plants that had taken root in the ground seemed unlikely to survive.

However, there was one student who did not give up.

That student was Cha Seokwon, a member of Class 0, Grade 1 and the top student in his class.

“Senior Kwak Kyung-gu, Senior Yeom Jun-yeol! The reason the plants are dying now is because of the soil. And even though they are the same species, germinated in similar environments and at similar times, the order in which they die is different. So if we control the variables and conduct an experiment, we will be able to find out what the cause is!”

“So you dug over a hundred holes on campus?”

“Yes! We were planning to dig about fifty holes on Cheoniksan, but the space inside is distorted due to the soil, so it is wider than we thought, so we will probably have to dig two hundred.”

Yeom Jun-yeol and Kwak Kyung-gu were investigating the mysterious holes that appeared all over the campus after the sun went down.

The two smiled bitterly as they watched their juniors from Class 0 answer brightly.

When a big incident broke out at Eun Gwang High School, the number of test takers decreased, and naturally, the number of eccentrics decreased, so the number of students entering Class 0 was limited to a small number.

Even though the number of students in Class 0, Grade 1 was only one digit, there were still eccentrics like Cha Seok-won who had strong abilities.

‘Seok-won may be a strange kid, but his experimental and exploratory spirit and insight are extraordinary. I think it would be good to help him.’

Yeom Jun-yeol decided to protect the problem student junior in front of him.

“Kyung-gu, let’s watch.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yeah, maybe he’ll find something.”

“If he really finds something, those guys won’t leave him alone. If he finds a problem at school, will you just sit still?”

The ‘those guys’ that Kwak Kyung-gu was talking about were referring to the rotten faculty.

Kwak Kyung-gu had been suffering from those guys since the student council election, so he was fed up.

If Kwak Kyung-gu’s father hadn’t been the famous swordsman Cheolhyeol Ssanggeom, he might have been in trouble a long time ago.

But that meant that corrupt teachers were influenced by their parents’ authority, and Yeom Jun-yeol was in a position to utilize this better than anyone else.

“I’ll help you. But be careful with the teachers. If you run into another teacher, call me or your homeroom teacher, Im Yeon-hwa. Okay? If it’s hard to call them, just trust me and say the name of the Dragon Clan or the ‘King of Red Flames.’”

Yeom Jun-yeol smiled, hiding his throbbing head and heart.

It was a repulsive act to solve something with the power of his family, but there weren’t many means Yeom Jun-yeol could use.

If he hadn’t been born with the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, if his father hadn’t been the King of Red Flames, he wouldn’t have been able to protect Andain, the student council junior who was bullied by Choi Pyeon-deuk every day.

After receiving Cha Seok-won’s thanks and parting ways, Yeom Jun-yeol’s face faintly showed a look of distress.

“......Are you okay?”

“Yeah.”

After receiving comfort from his friend, Yeom Jun-yeol turned on his device and sent a message to the security guard waiting at the school gate, saying that he would be there soon.

Immediately after sending the message, a pop-up appeared informing of breaking news related to players.

Since the revision of the Player Special Act, Yeom Jun-yeol had become sensitive to the latest current affairs.

Yeom Jun-yeol immediately checked the news.

[Self-proclaimed ‘thief’ player sends a crime notice to the government office]

A thief? In this day and age, is there a player who does thief-like things?

Yeom Jun-yeol doubted his eyes, closed the hologram, sighed, and looked up at the sky.

There were all sorts of things in the world.

Yeom Jun-yeol stared blankly at a particularly bright star, then turned his gaze at Kwak Kyung-gu’s urging and moved his steps.

Eun Kwang-go, Eun Hwi-gwan’s reception room.

While the three students Yeom Jun-yeol, Cheon Dong-ha, and Ma Jin-seung were asleep, the guardians around them were waiting anxiously.

The three's vital signs and supernatural status were being checked in real time through the device and the guardians' insight skills.

Even though they knew that there was no problem with the three, they were worried about the situation in the replay.

Of course, there was one fun purpose to all of this.

"Eui-shin, what are you doing? Sleep? You can't sleep even though you know that Cheongryong, Bangyeol, and Teacher Ham Geun-hyung are worried like this?"

"I'm not sleeping."

I answered Yong Je-geon's words with my eyes closed.

Hwang Ji-ho responded to Yong Je-geon's ridiculous argument.

"Let Jo Ui-shin rest. But you guys shouldn't sleep. Think about the effects of nightmares."

"I'm not sleeping."

"You can sleep."

I revealed everything about the nightmares I had here.

Teacher Ham Geun-hyung only worried about me, even though there was a student in his class who was just like a nightmare.

Teacher Ham Geun-hyung, seen in the replay, and even now, was a true teacher who thought deeply about his students.

Thanks to Teacher Ham Geun-hyung as his homeroom teacher, Joo Su-hyeok, who came to Class 0, must have overcome that difficult time.

‘Let’s focus a little more.’

I kept my eyes closed and tried to use the additional options in the replay.

That was it.

Boom!

I suddenly opened my eyes at the loud noise.

Not only Rie, but the other Jin tribesmen also turned their heads in surprise.

The cause of the noise was the white tiger.

“White tiger, the kids are sleeping, so come in quietly.”

The ignorant white tiger, who had forcefully opened the automatic door of the reception room, walked towards me, ignoring Hwang Ji-ho’s words.

The white tiger said.

“I came to wake up Jo Ui-shin.”

“Just close your eyes and don’t sleep.”

“It would be better to sleep.”

Hwang Ji-ho seemed to have noticed something in those words.

“Explain what’s going on.”

I looked at the white tiger and thought to myself.

Don’t tell me, I’ll tell you later.

However, the white tiger seemed completely unwilling to listen to my thoughts.

He promised not to disturb me, but he seemed to have decided that this was not disturbing.

“We can get information from those kids after everything is over. Jo Ui-shin is doing something useless.”

Who said that it was useless?

Before I could refute, the white tiger said.

“Joe Shin is currently experiencing the replay of those kids.”
