EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school-Chapter 984: Welcome (4)
After a brief sound of impact, there was a brief commotion.
Rubo-won, after taking a few hits, protested in Chinese, complaining about the pain, but ended up getting hit more.
Eventually, after Dong Shao-dan received permission from Huang Ho, he dragged Rubo-won to look for Li Wei.
Even as he was being dragged away, Rubo-won passionately argued that Pi Yeong-hee should aim for the international stage, starting from Korea, but no one was listening.
Yao Lechi was also pulled to a corner and had to endure scolding from another coach, who told him to keep his distance from Rubo-won.
"My apologies. There was some commotion as we gathered students from all over this vast land," the speaker said.
After introducing himself, the silent figure from Tang Ulim spoke up.
The speaker introduced himself as Di Xiang (地响), using the name "Tang Ulim's Knight" when he mentioned his name.
In Korean characters, Di Xiang is written as Ji Hyang (地響).
It was literally translated as "the sound of the earth."
'Not trying to hide anything, huh.'
The knight from Tang Ulim, citing his illness, asked for understanding and wore a mask.
Though there had been a small incident, since the knight from Tang Ulim had initiated a conversation, an opportunity to execute Jo Yi-shin's proposal had arrived.
‘Jo Yi-shin must have suggested something additional once he knew the three knights' vow was responsible for the special curriculum of the Chengdu Player Training Institute.’
It didn't seem like Jo Yi-shin had anticipated someone as important as the knight from Tang Ulim, though.
However, whoever the opponent was, Huang Ho had no trouble handling them.
Huang Ho, with a stern expression, gave a glance to the knight from Tang Ulim, then to a few students.
Some students met his gaze calmly and smiled, while others flinched in surprise. But there was a commonality among all the students who made eye contact with Huang Ho.
They were all from the Chengdu Player Training Institute.
"China is vast, indeed. But it seems there are a lot of students from a specific region's training institute."
The Chinese national team fell silent.
They had likely already recognized the point Huang Ho was making.
However, they didn't have the strength to openly express any concerns, as Huang Ho had. In fact, the players from the training institute were quite skilled, which is why they kept quiet.
The knight from Tang Ulim replied.
"The process was fair. The students I trained have blossomed their talents through hard work."
"Is that so? I heard that when the Eungwang High newspaper club visited Chengdu, an incident of runaway players occurred at the training institute. It seems they must have exceptional talents if they caused such a large disturbance."
He said it like a joke, but there was no trace of laughter in Huang Ho's voice.
The students and coaches not participating in the conversation were sweating profusely, silently waiting for the head coach, Dong Shao-dan, to return quickly.
Huang Ho pretended to be anxious about the discovery of Qing Ho's gi belt in Chengdu, but from a distance, it almost seemed like the chairman of Eungwang High was grilling the representative of Chengdu for putting his students in a dangerous situation there.
Also, from a distant viewpoint, the foreign coach and the chairman of the Hwangmyeong Foundation were creating a tense atmosphere between them and the Chinese national team.
However, the knight from Tang Ulim, right in the eye of the storm, spoke calmly without any sign of worry.
"It seems you're quite interested in the Chengdu Player Training Institute."
"Very much so."
"After today's meeting, I will send you the materials on the Chengdu Player Training Institute. I also have an introduction to the curriculum I'm responsible for. I’m sure you'll be satisfied."

The knight from Tang Ulim's eyes curved into a half-moon shape.
Despite Huang Ho's fierce presence, the knight seemed to be inwardly mocking him, as there was no sense of unease in his demeanor.
Huang Ho had figured out that the knight from Tang Ulim was directly or indirectly related to Qing Ho.
Thinking about Qing Ho, his anger flared up, but before that, he remembered Jo Yi-shin's words.
— If any of the three knights’ vow representatives show up, you must say this.
— What do you mean?
Jo Yi-shin's expression had looked suspicious when he made that suggestion.
— The plague that spread because of the three knights’ vow.
Huang Ho recalled a conversation with a benefactor from the Hojo family and continued.
"By the way, I've heard some rat is spreading a plague these days. Is everything alright? I was concerned since you seem to be wearing a mask due to your condition. I hope you're not infected by the plague."
The knight from Tang Ulim was still smiling.
But Huang Ho could feel the faint tremor of the opponent's ability.
Huang Ho spoke like he was making a deal.
"If you want to know more about the plague, feel free to contact my secretary. You should also send the materials on the Chengdu Player Training Institute when you reach out."
