The sun had set, the residential area.

Right now, Gye-dam was doing something he had never done before.

To be exact, it was something he had done faithfully when Sung Si-wan was a student, but had not done this year.

Gye-dam looked around in the cool breeze.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve patrolled the residential area.’

The patrolling of the residential area of ​​the chairman of the Jiik Association was not mandatory.

However, the previous chairman of the Jiik Association took the time to patrol the residential area once a day, or at least once a week, but Gye-dam fought to save that time.

As soon as he became a third-year student, Gye-dam kept his duties as the chairman of the Jiik Association to a minimum and devoted everything to dealing with malicious commenters.

It was almost a miracle that he was able to deal with the manipulators and malicious commenters who had been tricked by the dark side while going to school, but on the outside, it seemed like the chairman of the Jiik Association was neglecting his duties and staying locked up in his room.

Compared to Sung Si-wan, he has many shortcomings, and since he doesn’t put time and effort into the work of the Jiikhoe, the reputation of the Jiikhoe chairman has hit rock bottom.

“Why is the Jiikhoe chairman patrolling so much?”

“Haven’t you heard the rumors?”

“Keep your voice down, I hear you.”

“You said it first.”

When he passed the first-year dormitory building, he heard the first-year students whispering.

Gye-dam didn’t know much about the rumors.

He knew that they didn’t like the Jiikhoe chairman, but he hadn’t read the specific posts.

He had been checking the Eun Kwang-go bulletin board regularly, but as the public opinion war intensified, he had set his device app to only show posts with keywords related to Andain for efficient public opinion checking and management.

So he didn’t know much about the rumors related to himself, but he had a rough idea.

Gye-dam’s condition wasn’t good enough for Sung Si-wan and the current Jiikhoe members to worry and care for him.

In that situation, the reason Gye-I-Dam was walking around the first-year building on patrol was because he finally intended to do the work of a Jiikhoe president, but there was another reason.

‘I need to see if it’s true with my own eyes.’

A while ago, Gye-I-Dam saw the face of ‘Cheon Eun-Ha,’ the vice president and top student of Class 0 of the first year.

She was a class 0 student with enough skills to be the top student, and as a dormitory student, she was someone that the Jiikhoe president should know at least by looking at her face, but Gye-I-Dam didn’t know.

It was ridiculous to find out about such a dormitory student only now, but it also meant that Gye-I-Dam had handled Jiikhoe work carelessly to an absurd degree.

During the week, he had been busy with his piling up work and keeping an eye on Yeom Jun-Yeol and Cheon Dong-Ha, so he had no time to check.

‘I heard that he was out, but I didn’t hear that he was staying out overnight. ‘I’ll probably come back.’

When Gye-I-Dam anxiously passed the entrance to the dark path around the first-year building, he felt his breath catch in his throat.

The moment his eyes met with something on the other side of the path, he had a strong urge to run away.

Even though the other person was a first-year student with a gentle appearance, Gye-I-Dam felt overwhelmed.

Usually, when first-years met Gye-I-Dam, they recognized the chairman of the Jiik Association and greeted him halfheartedly, but the other person just stared at him without saying anything.

He knew full well that Gye-I-Dam was not worth greeting.

“You...... No way...... Back then.......”

“Yes, I’m the younger sibling of Ui-Shin who has been close to him since long ago.”

Gye-I-Dam felt his legs lose strength at the affectionate voice.

The being that had made Gye-I-Dam experience the most intense fear in the entire world was right before his eyes.

Fortunately or fortunately, no dormitory students were seen passing by.

“You must have recognized me now. At that time, I thought that you might have forgotten because you couldn’t even look at my face properly.”

Gye-dam knew the author’s anger well.

Gye-dam didn’t know that the person in front of him was Cheon Seong-heon, who had brought down a company, or that Eun-ho, who was the head of a clan during the Shinhwa era.

However, he knew that he cared deeply for Jo Ui-shin and that he knew everything Gye Sang-jung had done.

He knew how well he followed Jo Ui-shin and how angry he was because of that, but it was even more terrifying to see him speaking like that, hiding all his emotions while pretending to be a junior of Eun Gwang-go.

In fear, he briefly wondered why he was here, but that question didn’t last long.

‘That guy would have followed Jo Ui-shin in a crappy game like Plumago. He beat the game to the end and came all the way here!’

Gye-dam barely managed to hold on until Andain started the final chapter.

That guy must have held on because Jo Eui-shin insisted on seeing the ending.

Gye-dam, who had a thought close to the correct answer, tried to strengthen his legs that were losing strength.

After the question was resolved, he felt fearful ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) again.

I don’t know what happened to karma, but right now, that guy is in this world like Jo Eui-shin or Gye-dam, and he has that much power.

Cheon Eun-ha is Cheon Dong-ha’s younger sister, a child of the TC Group, and the head of Eun Kwang-go.

If he wanted revenge right now, he could do it.

“If you had neglected the affairs of the Jiikhoe to the point where you didn’t even notice my existence this month, I would have tried to replace the Jiikhoe chairman as soon as possible.”

“Replacement.......”

“There are several ways. You can voluntarily resign, or you can go through the process of impeachment. Since there was no Jiikhoe President who didn’t even know the face of the dormitory student who was a member of Class 0 and the top student, everyone would have accepted the replacement.”

It wasn’t hard for Gye-dam to imagine him writing a copy of the impeachment motion and submitting it as a representative.

Anyone who saw Gye-dam, who was so terrified and fearful without even knowing the name of the person who was handing him the documents or holograms, would have thought, ‘He deserves to be impeached.’

Gye-dam had no attachment to the position of Jiikhoe President itself, but he felt a debt of gratitude to the former Jiikhoe President, Sung Si-wan.

The thought of not being able to face Sung Si-wan made him feel dizzy.

And Gye-dam knew well that the person in front of him would not stop at just pulling him down from the position of Jiikhoe President if he wanted to.

The other person also spoke as if reminding him of this.

“In this world, it’s easier and simpler to ruin you than in the previous world. Legally.”

In the previous world, he had driven him to ruin in a way that didn’t break the law.

Although Gye-idam felt cheated, it was Gye-idam who had asked him to choose a place to invest.

Furthermore, since he had not acquired any property or financial gains through his recommendation, it was not considered fraud if the elements of the act were flawed.

In a world where there were no other worldly conflicts or supernatural powers, there were many ways to ruin someone while avoiding the law.

“Hyung Ui-shin wouldn’t care what happens to you, and Hyung Dong-ha knew what you did, so he wouldn’t stop me unless I broke the law. And my other brother would try to help me.”

He was more gentle than usual when talking about his brother.

Aside from Jo Ui-shin and Cheon Dong-ha, there seemed to be another person he considered a brother, but Gye-idam didn’t know who it was.

All he could guess was that he was a skilled person like Jo Eui-shin or Cheon Dong-ha, and that he would cooperate in revenge.

Gye-i-dam was too scared to say anything.

“You only bully the weak, so I know you won’t do anything stupid to Eui-shin hyung again. So I’ll just watch as long as I think you’re useful.”

Gye-sang-jung cursed and ruined others’ lives.

So he expected to declare that he would ruin Gye-i-dam’s life.

But he said something that Gye-i-dam didn’t expect.

When he said this, his eyes, which had been perfectly expressionless the whole time, briefly showed a look of contempt.

Deep down, he seemed to not want to say something like this.

“I’ll do something that Eui-shin hyung can’t do, can’t do.”

He turned on the device and displayed the hologram.

The hologram showed the school trip schedule.

He hid his expression again and slowly began to explain something.

In addition to the blank-faced Gye-idam, there was someone else listening to the explanation.

Dduk.

A crow croaked softly between the trees densely packed along the trail.

Eun-ho realized the crow’s presence and gave Gye-idam a brief glance so that Gye-idam wouldn’t notice, but didn’t try to chase it away.

It is said that the 3-night, 4-day Jeju Island school trip itinerary was planned by the autonomous organization.

When making the plan, student body president Yeom Jun-yeol was at the center of it all, but he couldn’t proceed on his own.

That’s why this schedule was completed after discussions between students belonging to the autonomous organization and review by the teachers in charge.

‘The general outline came out as expected. I wanted to avoid some places, but it must have been difficult.’

There were about 150 participants in the school trip during the Plumago.

However, there were about 500 participants this time.

Except for a very small number of students who couldn’t make it due to personal reasons such as external schedules or simply didn’t want to go, everyone was basically participating.

When the scale grows this large, there are restrictions when deciding on accommodations, transportation, places to eat, and tourist destinations.

In addition, there were not many schedules that the students could actually decide on, as the routes had to be adjusted to avoid conflicts with other group travelers.

‘We should assume that the undercover team already knows the schedule for the school trip.’

Since Choi Pyeon-deuk and his crew are no longer at Eun Kwang-gwang, the undercover team doesn’t know the details yet, but the undercover team must have already figured out the big picture and prepared for it.

Also, one out of 500 students will be excited and post the schedule on SNS saying, ‘We’re going on a school trip!’, so the undercover team will soon know the detailed schedule.

‘Just because the schedule is known doesn’t mean we can’t make plans.’

Yeom Jun-yeol sent an additional message at the exact moment I checked the schedule.

[Yeom Jun-yeol] I sent it because I thought Eui-shin would want to check.

[Me] Thank you. I'll take note.

Yeom Jun-yeol didn't send the message right away, but waited a moment and then typed it.

It seemed like he was still thinking about it.

After thinking about it, Yeom Jun-yeol said.

[Yeom Jun-yeol] Can I talk now?

[Me] Yes.

Soon Yeom Jun-yeol called.

[Eui-shin, I’m sorry for being late.]

“No, I just came back to the dorm after playing.”

It’s not that late, so how can you be sorry?

Today, my disciple and senior Yeom Jun-yeol was thinking of others differently.

Yeom Jun-yeol spoke with a worried voice.

[I want to talk about my mother’s dream.]

I think what Yeom Jun-yeol wanted to tell me was Cho-rin’s dream.

Cho-rin’s dream was connected to Jujak.

I thought it was possible when Jujak’s feathers came out, but Yong-jok seemed certain.

Hyun-mu and Cheong-ryong, who were also Jujak’s friends, heard the content of Cho-rin’s dream and made a judgment, so it must be true.

[My mother kept a secret for a long time for Yong-jok. Even in the replay, she was dreaming and trying to tell me.]

I remember that scene too.

In the replay, Cho-rin consulted with the priestess of the Dragon King God, and eventually one of the clues disappeared.

[My friends and I will experience something very dangerous during this school trip. Will other people keep secrets and go through hardships this time to protect us?]

Yeom Jun-yeol must have been thinking about his mother's incident.

It's inevitable that he feels anxious when something big is about to happen.

In the midst of all that, his family must have kept a big secret and not realized it for a long time, so he must have felt even worse.

After much thought, I chose my words.

"I won't hide anything from you during this trip."

It was hard for me to say this because I knew what would happen during the school trip, but I said what I had in mind while watching Yeom Jun-yeol grow up.

"Senior Yeom Jun-yeol, let's fight together."
