The "Watch Together" option was added with the level-up in the replay system.

I was using that option to watch together the experiences of Yeom Jun-yeol, Cheon Dong-ha, and Ma Jin-seung.

Since the time they were experiencing and the time flowing in reality were different, watching together wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t impossible either.

I anticipated that the White Tiger would meddle since it was peering into my mind, so I made preparations, but I eventually failed.

‘Just thinking in multiple ways can't fool it. But still, I managed to buy some time.’

I had expected it, but the White Tiger knew what I had done, even though it didn’t appear immediately.

Even when Seong Guk-eon and Jeon Mu-young disappeared in the replay and the self-proclaimed thief, the mysterious Goblin Eom Gil-dong, appeared, the White Tiger couldn’t interfere with me.

"Wow, Yi-shin. From a replay perspective, time flows so fast, but you watched all of that?"

"...It sounds almost like observing an alternate dimension where space and time are distorted in real-time."

"Ham Geun-hyung is right. Watching it together is just crazy. Even a normal person would go crazy just watching a video running at 10x speed, right? And the content of the replay is a bit... much."

I overheard the conversation between Yong Je-geon and Ham Geun-hyung.

I had explained the replay system to Ham Geun-hyung beforehand, but Yong Je-geon, as an experiencer, added some exaggerated details.

Moreover, as teachers, they were well aware of incidents caused while observing alternate dimensions with distorted time and space.

Because of that, Ham Geun-hyung and the other Ho-jok members sighed.

"The White Tiger brags about giving blessings to the dragon race's benefactor, but can't stop this? If the dragon race had given a blessing, they would've stopped this mess long ago."

"Cheongryong, that assumption is meaningless. The dragon race failed to understand the minds of the shamans who have been with them for decades. Jo Yi-shin, the benefactor of the Ho-jok and connected to me and Jin-myeong, would not have sought a blessing from such an incompetent Jin tribe."

"Are you saying our dragon race is incompetent? The Ho-jok couldn't manage their own ranks either. If they hadn't allowed the troublemakers like the director and the teachers in Eun-gwang district to run wild, Jo Yi-shin, the dragon race's benefactor, wouldn’t have had to suffer so much."

"They are not insiders. There are no traitors among those the Ho-jok regards as family. That’s why Jo Yi-shin, as the benefactor of the Ho-jok, chose to act alongside the Ho-jok."

Cheongryong and Baekho started an argument over something childish, but it was intertwined with highly sensitive matters.

If a person with decent education and common sense had overheard, they would’ve been worried about war.

If Cheongryong and Baekho hadn’t had a long-lasting friendship, I might’ve stepped in to break them apart.

Among the conscious individuals, Kim Shin-rok, who had relatively normal common sense, lost color in his face while listening to their low-level conversation, and Ham Geun-hyung, the most rational, showed a complex expression before speaking.

"...Did the Ho-jok of the mythological world give a blessing to Jo Yi-shin?"

"Yes. The Ho-jok’s benefactor, Jo Yi-shin, received a blessing from Baekho through Jin-myeong."

Hwang Ji-ho said proudly.

They were talking about me, but I had no words to say, so I stayed silent.

Couldn’t I just ignore it and stay quiet?

Thinking this, I continued watching my seniors’ replays, but the White Tiger interrupted again.

"Jo Yi-shin joined in your idle chatter, but he has experienced the replays of three people. Even now, he is watching the replay without listening to most of the nonsense you’re saying."

"Baekho, you were one of the Jin tribes who spoke that nonsense."

"Baekho, Jo Yi-shin isn’t listening to you either. How much time has passed in the replay?"

It seemed better for me to answer rather than seeing the White Tiger concentrate and pretend to share my thoughts.

I calmly stated the time I had observed.

"Recently, Teacher’s Day passed."

"On Teacher’s Day in the replay, it was the day Seong Guk-eon and Mu-young went missing! They went to Eun-gwang High to give flowers to their deceased teacher every year and got into a big mess."

As soon as Teacher’s Day was mentioned, Yong Je-geon butted in.

In the replay, Yong Je-geon had died on Christmas Eve of the previous year, so it wasn’t something he personally experienced.

Yong Je-geon probably heard this directly from Seong Guk-eon and Jeon Mu-young after finishing the replay.

But did he really have to spill everything that happened that day?

The deceased teacher, Kim Shin-rok, was seen lowering his head.

"Yong Je-geon, calm down. There’s no need to get so upset just because the dragon race’s benefactor went overboard. We can take care of it if needed."

"Yong Je-geon has always been like that. Even without involving our Ho-jok’s benefactor, he still shows off his dragon race traits."

"It seems like Hwang Ho is the one getting more upset than you, though? Did something scratch you?"

While the dragons and tigers bickered, Ham Geun-hyung spoke to me.

"Watching this itself is no small feat, but I’m more concerned about the content."

It wasn’t clear whether he was worried or frustrated with the childish Jin tribes, but Ham Geun-hyung came off as much more mature.

While I wondered why the tigers were acting like that, hearing Ham Geun-hyung’s words, I felt a bit guilty for causing trouble.

Based on the story I had experienced through the Plmago, I responded.

"After Teacher’s Day has passed, things should be peaceful for a while."

"That means things won’t be peaceful soon."

Before Ham Geun-hyung could make a relieved expression, Yong Je-geon interrupted.

Since the replay ends with the subject’s death, it was natural for such a comment to come up.

Everyone seemed to want to stop, but I was determined to keep watching.

I had missed a few parts due to watching all three replays at high speed simultaneously, but I couldn’t afford to miss the most important parts.

"Yes, that’s right. So, I can’t take my eyes off it."

The White Tiger glared at me after my answer, but I ignored it and closed my eyes.

Closing my eyes made the three people in the replay become clearer.

Recently, a self-proclaimed thief, who hadn’t actually succeeded in stealing anything, had been causing a stir.

The thief, being an extreme attention-seeker, made extravagant announcements of their crimes, but no one could catch their trail, no matter what powers they were using. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The thief’s target locations didn’t show any consistency or pattern.

The Seoul Government Building Annex, the Player Association’s Media and Public Relations Building, the Eun-gwang District Police Station, the Jireok Terminal construction site, and the Youth Player Support Center, among others.

As the thief gained cult-like popularity due to their flashy performances, streamers analyzing the crimes and news shows increased, but the conclusion was always the same: "The thief is just a talented attention-seeker with special abilities."

But Cheon Dong-ha thought differently.

‘There are some common points. The Seoul Government Building Annex, targeted by the thief, has the Otherworld Department. The head of the police station in Eun-gwang District is a player, and the area where the Jireok Terminal construction is happening is dealing with public complaints.’

The places targeted by the thief were related to special abilities, and there were bad rumors circulating about them.

The Youth Player Support Center was a bit unclear, but still, it had ties to special abilities.

While everyone thought the thief was just seeking attention, the reality was different.

The thief, Eom Gil-dong, was risking his life to steal the plans of a mysterious dark force.

Few knew about this, and most of them were enemies of Eom Gil-dong, but a very small number of allies existed.

"Hey, Jo Su-hyeok, isn’t this thief outfit cool? I want to make one like this!"

"It’s cool. If you need help, just let me know, Seul-bi."

Recently, Jo Su-hyeok had gained a friend in Class 0.

A few days ago, he started school with Seul-bi, who called herself a great druid.

Seul-bi, being a typical Class 0 student, had extraordinary abilities and treated Jo Su-hyeok and Maeng Hyo-don like any other classmates, despite their complicated circumstances.

Even after finding out Jo Su-hyeok was the heir to a big corporation, she still thought, ‘I’m a far superior druid!’ and got competitive. After learning that Maeng Hyo-don had been trapped in Fight Club, she just said, ‘If I had gone, I would have tied up everyone there with vines and captured them!’

She acted the same way when dealing with a rumored new student from the Hwangmyeong Group.

‘It’s a relief that Su-hyeok is adjusting well to Class 0.’

Cheon Dong-ha was happy to see Jo Su-hyeok settling into Class 0.

During the time the thief was causing trouble, there were no bad news, and a peaceful period followed, so Su-hyeok was able to focus on his school life.

Jo Su-hyeok sometimes fell into deep thought while looking at the thief’s announcements, but perhaps due to the many things on his plate, he didn’t actively get involved in the case.

Cheon Dong-ha felt the same way.

On the Eun-gwang High bulletin board, there were plenty of detectives speculating about the thief’s plans, but Cheon Dong-ha found some of the theories to be persuasive.

One of the main theories was that the thief’s actions were an attempt to track down the person who caused Seong Guk-eon’s disappearance.

‘The mysterious figure known as the tyrant of Eun-gwang District posted a video of the moment Seong Guk-eon disappeared. And it was confirmed that the recording devices in Eun-gwang District stopped during that time. The company in charge of those devices also received an announcement.’

Cheon Dong-ha had suspicions, but he didn’t have the time to focus on the thief.

The TC Group was still embroiled in trouble, and within the school, the Choi Byeon-deuk faction was running amok, with their followers disturbing the order of the school.

Fortunately, they couldn’t openly target Jo Jun-yeol or Cheon Dong-ha, but he was ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) always worried about what would happen once they graduated.

Cheon Dong-ha reduced his sleeping time and increased his patrol hours in the school.

Then, one day after school, something happened.

"Dong-ha hyung, I don’t think I can go on the patrol today."

"Su-hyeok, what’s going on?"

"Ji-ho said I was asked to inspect the thief’s crime scene and called Seul-bi out, but I didn’t do that. I think someone impersonated me and called Seul-bi."

When Jo Su-hyeok said that someone had impersonated him to call Seul-bi out, Cheon Dong-ha had an inkling.

There had been many students who admired Jo Su-hyeok in the past, and even though his popularity had faded a bit after joining Class 0, his core fans remained unchanged.

They were more sensitive to anything involving Jo Su-hyeok and reacted strongly.

To them, Seul-bi, who mingled easily with Jo Su-hyeok, wouldn’t be looked at favorably.

"I’ll go to the patrol location and check. You go ahead."

"Please do!"

Jo Su-hyeok hurriedly raised his special abilities and rushed outside the school.

Cheon Dong-ha was planning to help with the search if needed, but he had already pinpointed the location using his Celestial Eye, so it seemed unnecessary.

As he checked the school grounds, making sure nothing unusual was happening, he also used his Gwang-rim to scan the entire school.

While doing so, he spotted a student acting suspiciously.

‘That second-year student isn’t from Class 0. I think her name was Lena.’

A student with a decorative ribbon in her hair stood in front of the Class 0 classroom, expressionless.

She checked around to make sure no one was there, took out a card key, and opened the door to the Class 0 classroom.

Stumbling inside, she reached for a particular spot.

It was Jo Su-hyeok’s locker.
