Objectively, Gye-dam was an excellent student.

Although he was not considered the best student because there were players like Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha in the same grade, he was always in the top 10 in terms of school grades and was also evaluated well by the faculty.

When he was a freshman, Ham Geun-hyung, who had his eye on Gye-dam, recommended him to the leadership team, and although the evaluations are currently divided, he was elected by the dormitory students and is currently the local student council president.

Therefore, Yeom Jun-yeol, Cheon Dong-ha, and Ma Jin-seung, who were in the same grade, could not help but feel a sense of discomfort.

‘Why didn’t Lee Dam-i appear in the replay?’

Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha remembered the faces and names of all the students.

Ma Jin-seung took a while to remember, but he tried hard and memorized them all.

It was the same in the replay.

Yeom Jun-yeol compared the list of students in reality and the list of students in the replay in his head.

‘There’s a lot that’s changed. There are students who were there in the replay but aren’t now. But there are a lot more cases where it’s the opposite.’

Students who were there in the replay but aren’t now were the ones who had bad rumors going around.

Yeom Jun-yeol thought of the students who had said bad things to Andain and Park Seung-hyun.

They had been bullied by Choi Pyeon-deuk’s favoritism and ran wild without fear of the world, but they were mean to Yeom Jun-yeol and tried to become close to him somehow.

There was no evidence, but there was a rumor that they had manipulated both their grades when they entered school and their grades while they were in school.

‘And the kids who weren’t there in the replay but are there now... ... They’re overly active, but there’s absolutely no suspicion of that.’

The most representative students were the students who were currently in Class 0, Grade 1, the class where Gong Cheong-hwon was the homeroom teacher.

In the replay, Class 0, Grade 1 only had a single digit number of students, but now the number has increased so much that Cha Seok-won, who was originally supposed to be in Class 0, ended up in Class 1, Grade 1.

Yeom Jun-yeol thought of Cha Seok-won and the children of Class 0 who were digging holes to study the land and plants of the dying Eun Gwang-go in the replay.

‘Yeolrang, the shaman of the Dragon King in Class 0, the descendants of the noble family, and Dong-ha’s younger sibling were all saved by Eui-shin. That’s why they exist. But what about Lee Dam-i?’

The first thing that came to mind was the possibility that Jo Eui-shin saved him for some reason.

However, there were many things on his mind and contradictions if he assumed that.

While Yeom Jun-yeol thought about it from various perspectives based on the information he had obtained this time, Ma Jin-seung simply thought.

‘Eui-shin must have saved Lee Dam-i!’

However, Yeom Jun-yeol’s thoughts were different.

‘Eui-shin could not have saved Lee Dam-i.’

After the replay ended, Yeom Jun-yeol took a short break and tried to distinguish between reality and nightmare.

As a result, he learned a lot.

‘Eui-shin’s activities started when he took the entrance exam. Even in the replay, the flow of reality is the same until the 13th Article incident. The only difference is Lee Dam.’

Gye-dam was a different existence.

As Jo Ui-shin’s disciple and senior, Yeom Jun-yeol didn’t want to compare them, but Gye-dam’s different something had similar attributes to Jo Ui-shin.

The two were similar in that they were different existences who stayed in this world without any connections.

Cheon Dong-ha asked.

“I’ll ask you directly. Lee Dam, has Eui-shin ever saved you?”

The conference room of the Seondobu Hall.

All the doors were closed, blackout curtains were drawn on the windows, and the soundproof barrier was activated.

If Gye-dam, who was small and had many corners that could be stabbed in many ways, had been alone, he would have been kicked out a long time ago.

However, he couldn’t run away because Sung Si-wan was by his side.

Sung Si-wan agreed even though he knew the atmosphere was tense.

- It would be better to talk when I’m here. Lee Dam-ah, let’s go.

Sung Si-wan, a graduate, knew well that as long as Yong Je-geon was involved in the group that had business with Gye Yi-dam, there was no way to escape.

Gye Yi-dam noticed Sung Si-wan’s intention and nodded heavily.

He tried not to say anything that would make him feel guilty, even if it was for Sung Si-wan’s sake, but the moment he heard Cheon Dong-ha’s question, all the resentment he had built up during summer vacation exploded.

“That damn bastard, Jo Ui-shin, wouldn’t be able to save me!”

“Lee Dam-ah!”

Sung Si-wan quickly stopped him, but the atmosphere had already cooled down as if liquid nitrogen had been sprayed on him.

Gye Yi-dam had a trashy personality, and people couldn’t be easily changed.

Although he had a great conversion thanks to Sung Si-wan, his time with the light was still short compared to his long period of darkness. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

In addition, Gye-dam's vessel was surprisingly small, but in contrast, his anger was at its peak.

He thought he had finished his long and lonely fight with the malicious commenters who had been harassing Andain, who had taken his ruined life as collateral, but Gye-dam went crazy when he saw Jo Eui-shin's two-shot, which was getting more and more terrifying.

Gye-dam's language and thinking skills had deteriorated to the point where he could only say, "Stop being a jerk," and when he was suddenly dragged in and heard Jo Eui-shin's voice, he couldn't help but have a fit.

While everyone was developing complex thoughts about Gye-dam's words, Ma Jin-seung simply thought.

'I guess Yi-shin didn't save Yi-dam!'

However, Yeom Jun-yeol's thoughts were not as simple as that.

'It's natural that Yi-shin didn't save Yi-dam. What's surprising is that he harbors hostility. Just like malicious commenters on the web, Lee Dam-i must have harbored one-sided ill will.’

Yeom Jun-yeol wiped the expression off his face and stared at Gye I-dam.

Yeom Jun-yeol was certain when Jo Eui-shin, who was so polite, first tried to beat Gye I-dam, who was his senior at school, under the pretense of sparring.

Gye I-dam must have done something so wrong to Jo Eui-shin that it was hard to imagine.

Yeom Jun-yeol said this as a given.

“Lee Dam-ah, you shouldn’t say such harsh words to someone who did something so wrong to Eui-shin. I said the same thing last time, but it’s disappointing.”

Gye I-dam flinched at the cold words.

After saying the words, he belatedly realized that he had regretted it, but when he saw Yeom Jun-yeol’s reaction, he felt sick.

In reality, Gye I-dam had tormented Jo Eui-shin to the point where it wouldn’t be strange if he were legally punished.

After that, he said it wasn't intentional, but he took his job and attacked the one he loved while wearing an anonymous mask.

In addition, even after finding Jo Eui-shin in this world, he didn't apologize because he was scared.

Yeom Jun-yeol looked at Gye Yi-dam coldly and said,

"Since you didn't deny it right away, I guess you really did something wrong."

Gye Yi-dam regretted not denying it right away.

Thinking about it, Jo Eui-shin's personality made it impossible for him to tell Yeom Jun-yeol all the details about it.

Knowing Jo Eui-shin's harsh personality, Gye Yi-dam didn't worry about the consequences and harassed him to his heart's content, but he was so embarrassed that he forgot.

In addition, judging from the fact that Cheon Dong-ha asked the question first, it seemed like they didn't know everything, but Gye Yi-dam ended up confessing.

Meanwhile, Yong Je-geon, who was happy alone, said excitedly as if bragging.

"Guys, did you see that just now? Jun-yeol used the same way I did!"

“Teacher Yong, be quiet.”

“No. I have to ask you something you can’t ask right now.”

Yong Je-geon, who refused to shut up, smiled broadly.

Gye-dam, who was likely to be Yong Je-geon’s target, trembled.

Yong Je-geon, who was excited like that, was much scarier than Yeom Jun-yeol, who was coldly angry.

Objectively, Yong Je-geon was a good teacher with a cheerful personality, but when he saw him laughing like that, he was also crazy enough that it was best to run ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) away for the sake of his physical and mental health.

Gye-dam thought about running away with Seong Si-wan first, thinking about what would happen later, but Yong Je-geon’s target was not himself.

“Si-wan, did you know everything?”

The gazes that had been fixed on Gye-dam shifted one by one at Yong Je-geon’s words.

Only then did Gye-dam understand what ‘things you can’t ask’ meant.

Seong Si-wan was a graduate and was closer to Gye-dam than other juniors, so it was difficult for Yeom Jun-yeol or Cheon Dong-ha to ask sensitive questions.

However, that Yoo Hee-gye dragon tribe was different.

“Considering Si-wan’s personality, when Jun-yeol says something like that, he should mediate and confirm the facts.”

When I thought about it, it was true.

As the chairman of the Jiik Association, it was strange for Seong Si-wan, who had mediated countless incidents and accidents, to just sit back and watch.

The only time Seong Si-wan got involved was when Gye-dam called Jo Eui-shin a monopoly.

“Si-wan knows that Lee Dam-i did something bad to Ui-shin. Right?”

“Yes, I know.”

Seong Si-wan did not deny it.

Ma Jin-seung thought, ‘I guess so!’ and moved on, but Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha sensed a great sense of discomfort and narrowed their eyebrows.

Yong Je-geon knew specifically what that sense of discomfort was.

It was the result of experiencing replays in advance and observing and examining the Gye-dam that didn’t exist at that time.

After seeing Sung Si-wan’s attitude, Yong Je-geon realized many things in an instant.

“How would you know if Eui-shin didn’t use replays on Si-wan?”

When Yong Je-geon suddenly mentioned replays, Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha were shocked, and Sung Si-wan and Gye-dam were somewhat bewildered.

Yong Je-geon’s smile deepened.

Ma Jin-seung took a step back in surprise after seeing the corners of Yong Je-geon’s mouth distort.

“I guess it’s not a replay? Then you both know what the game ‘Plumago’ is?”

Gye-dam’s shoulders shook slightly when the name of the game was mentioned.

At that, Yong Je-geon laughed in rapture, making the shaking even bigger.

Seong Si-wan grabbed Gye-dam’s shoulder and pulled him behind him, then quietly looked at Yong Je-geon.

“The Dragon Clan is very interested in Yi-shin, and has investigated a lot. Yi-shin had no contact with other players before taking the entrance exam for Eun-gwang High School. To be exact, he didn’t exist in this world before that.”

To be more precise, it wasn’t that he had no contact with other players.

It was because he was under the protection of Baek-ho.

However, if we limit it to what happened in this world, it was also true.

“What that means is that Yi-dam did something bad to Yi-shin before coming to this world. Since Yi-dam really likes Da-in, I guess Da-in in the game was a fan. That’s why he must have hated Yi-shin even more because of the rumors.”

There was absolutely nothing wrong with Yong Je-geon’s words.

Yong Je-geon’s insight didn’t stop there.

“But how would Siwan know? It’s unlikely that Yishin said it, or used the replay, or that Lee Dam-i would have said it willingly.”

“It’s as if Lee Dam-i said it willingly.”

Sung Si-wan thought he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he confessed the truth.

It was a short statement, but even then, the players except Ma Jin-seung figured out something.

Cheon Dong-ha was the first to point this out.

“It’s as if he said it willingly, which means he didn’t say it directly. He must have induced him to say it, or used some other means besides words.”

“I don’t think he said it verbally.”

Yong Je-geon looked at Sung Si-wan with a smile.

He looked at Sung Si-wan, as if he was looking into the distance.

Yong Je-geon spoke as he thought of someone who came to mind when he saw Sung Si-wan.

“Isn’t it possible that he saw it instead of receiving it verbally? The ability to see memories is very rare, and Siwan has one in his family.”

“There’s a player like that in Siwan’s family? The only one that comes to mind is Assemblyman Seong Guk-eon.”

Yeom Jun-yeol trailed off.

Assemblyman Seong Guk-eon had already revealed all of his abilities, so everyone knew that he didn’t have such an ability.

Yong Je-geon laughed while watching the children’s reactions.

“Yeah, Siwan’s late grandfather had such an ability.”

“Mr. Yong Je-geon, former Korean branch manager Seong Seong-woo passed away before Siwan was born. So the ability.......”

Cheon Dong-ha immediately responded, but after speaking, he realized something and stopped talking.

Seong Seong-woo was buried in the garden, and according to the contract after death, his ability was being used without permission.

Cheon Dong-ha also found out about this while helping with the clan and the aftermath.

Yongjegeon said with a rapturous laugh.

“The enemies we have to deal with are using the powers of those who were thought to be dead or missing. If the conditions are right, I wonder if we can do it too. It looks like they have already experienced Hyungwoo’s powers.”
