EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious schoolchapter 123: there was only one talented violin craftsman in this world.

There was only one talented violin craftsman in this world.

This was a person who was talented enough to extend the lifespan of several higher-rank beings. The only disciple he left behind was a first-year student in Eungwang High.

“Can I hear the name?”

The disciple held the clue to uncover the secret of this ‘unknown fate.’

If they were really in Eungwang High, it would definitely be beneficial to meet and talk in person.

“The name is ‘Mok Woo-ram.’”

It was a name I had never even heard of, not even in the game, or when I had come to this world.

‘It may have appeared in the game, but not with this particular name.’

Hwang Jiho, who had been quietly listening to the name of Mok Woo-ram, began to speak. “There’s only one Eungwang High freshman with that name.”

Had he already memorized all the names of the Eungwang High students? What a reliable president.

“Have you ever talked to me? What kind of kid are you, even?”

“I’ve only seen it on paper, but I know how many classes there are.”

Hwang Jiho’s eyes twinkled playfully.

“Mok Woo-ram belongs to Year 1 Class 0.”

….I had not been expecting that.

After the interview, we returned to the small drawing-room with the treble clef-embossed door open, we could see a different landscape from when we were away.

Empty bowls were stacked on the table.

Tarts, pies, and cakes with blueberries filled up a dessert cart.

The most delicious thing I had eaten was the blueberry sour cream cheese pie, there was only one slice left.

However, the first thing that caught my eye was on stage.

‘Kwon Lena?’

I saw Lena holding a bow and a multifunctional violin that Kwon Jae-in had given to her.

“Hey, guys, come and sit down!”

Jared Lee, who was in the front aisle, beckoned to us excitedly. Apparently, just like Kwon Jae-in, Kwon Lena had prepared a surprise performance.

As we sat down, Lena Kwon bowed her head down to greet us.

Clap, clap.

When Kim Yuri smiled and clapped her hands, everyone in the drawing-room followed along.

Then, the applause stopped.

Kwon Lena then started playing with a nervous expression.

‘This is the song that Kwon Jae-in played on the lake.’

Her blue stick bow clunked over her platinum-colored violin, a clear sound echoing from that movement alone.

Compared to Kwon Jae-in’s perfect technique, her performance was crude and immature.

However, as the song continued, Kwon Jae-in and Jared Lee couldn’t help but gush over her.

“This was the first song that she played today, but without any sheet music!”

Hearing the ability to judge the name of a note just by listening to it once without using any tool…

Absolute pitch.

She had also demonstrated this ability at the after-party after the performance staff at Hoyeongwan had finished.

‘It’s not just the absolute pitch.’

In addition to that great ability, she had another talent.

‘She didn’t just listen to Kwon Jae-in’s song and imitate it. She put her own impressions and interpretations.’

Unlike Kwon Jae-in, who had been somewhat lyrical, Kwon Lena’s performance was clear and light.

It was a wonderful performance that brightened the mood of the listener. This person, who was also my playable character, turned out to be different.

Clap clap clap-!

When the song ended, loud applause could be heard compared to the performance beforehand.

“This was like a new song! How’d you even get all the codes? That’s really amazing!”

“It was a great performance, Lena!”

Kwon Lena came down from the stage with cheers from her classmates. She had on a shy expression.

“I head you play. Isn’t that the song that Kwon Jae-in sunbaenim just played?”

“Huh! Jared said that you would like it…”

The conversation between Kwon Rena and I ended up being interrupted by Kwon Jae-in, who suddenly approached me.

“Didn’t you say that you’ve been playing the violin since high school?”

“Yeah! It didn’t start right after I went to high school… it’s been about two months now.”

Hearing that answer, Kwon Jae-in suddenly grabbed Kwon Lena’s hand with both of her own.

“Would you like to learn the violin from me?”

“…Yeah.”

“Then be my disciple, please.”

Kwon Jae-in’s blue eyes were shining seriously. This was her gift, that of the multifunctional violin and bow.

‘To say something like this after listening to the performance, Kwon Lena must have a special talent.’

Kwon Lena had heard the earnest request of the world’s best violinist to become a disciple.

Her voice was trembling and hinted a note of disbelief.

“I, too, want to learn violin from you!”

It was the woman who had refused to give up that expensive gift.

Learning the violin must have meant a lot to her.

“Thanks…! Then please take care of me, Lena.”

At this, Kwon Jae-in smiled in relief.

“I’m quite happy to receive my first disciple. I will do my best to teach you.”

At that, Kwon Lena’s eyes widened. “Yeah?! Am I the first disciple?”

“Huh.”

“Yes, yes…”

Kwon Lena blinked several times to see if her eyes were getting farther away, but she did not say that she would quit the apprenticeship.

The two then immediately checked their respective schedules and started planning lessons.

“It’s fine. Lena… Congratulations, it’s a celebration party…”

Jared Lee mumbled in strange Korean before she started crying again.

The good-natured children from my class started to worry, even though they brought tissues.

“That man is crying again. Is he sick or something?”

“You told me to call the team doctor whenever someone sick comes out. Then, should I contact you?”

“I think the status quo is normal.”

“Ah, I heard that as you get older, your hormone balance breaks down, making you prone to tears!”

Eternal Lake, a world-famous alien attack team.

The image of the team’s sub-master Jared Lee had hardened as a tearful old man.

After the Year 1 Class 0 people returned, the Eternal Lake team members gathered in the hall.

When it was confirmed that all of the team members were present, the youngest member of the Eternal Lake team got up and began to shout out their toasts.

“Congratulations on the birth of Kwon Jae-in’s first disciple, so let’s toast!”

“Cheers!”

In the hall, the sound of crystal glasses clinking was resounding.

Most of the glasses were filled with a bluish sparkling wine, although some drank blueberry drinks on rare occasions.

It was a homemade drink made by Kwon Jae-in’s niece, Kwon Lena.

Due to the small amount, a lot had been drawn so that a few of the team members could also taste it.

“I also… Me too, Jae-in wanted to eat what Lena made herself…”

“They made it again the next time you come. Let’s be patient.”

“Executives are so lucky to have been chosen. Almost everyone has won.”

“Isn’t Jared supposed to have a conscience? He even heard your niece’s live performance!”

Rattle.

At that moment, Kwon Jae-in, who had already taken a few sips, jumped up from her seat.

“A bad idea just came to mind.”

With those words, Kwon Jae-in materialized the dual-function violin and bow.

The team immediately stopped chatting and held their breath in order to appreciate her impromptu performance.

A cool and refreshing tune filled the hall with pure excitement.

When her performance was over, cheers erupted from all over the place.

“This song is perfect, too!”

“How can such a bright and pretty song be chosen right away?!”

“Is the recording device working well in the restaurant? If this wasn’t recorded, the person in charge would be outraged!”

In a noisy hall.

Kwon Jae-in had developed a hologram and recorded the song she just played as an electronic score.

The whole time the score was being written down, today’s events flashed through.

Kwon Lena, who had become the only blood and disciple.

The Year 1 Class 0 people and the baron were mixed there, the benefactor who saved his nephew, Jo Eushin.

‘What is the identity of the god of faith?’

Then there was Jo Eushin, who was having a comfortable conversation with the head of the baron.

It was said that the head of the noble family came out and called him a benefactor. Perhaps there was something bigger than what Mr. Kok-dori investigated.

At that moment, someone appeared in front of Kwon Jae-in.

“I think a lot of interesting things happened while I was away, Jae-in.”

The sudden appearance of Jinjok stopped on Kwon Jae-in’s accident.

The one she had spoken to was the head of the Western tribe, who had been diving for the past few days in order to study ‘how to get rid of the unpleasant ‘it.’

“I heard you are busy, Mischievous Mister.”

“Yeah, I’m very busy. Research is not going well. I came here to clear my mind…”

The tone of his voice changed as he looked around.

“Is the head of the Baron going back and forth?”

With this, he smiled softly and began writing down a respectful note.

The dormitory room returned after a safe visit to the Eternal Lake team building.

It was a little late because we had dinner at the Eternal Lake Team Building, but it was still quite an ambiguous time to sleep.

‘I want to investigate the ghost story requested by Seong Guk-eon and the master’s apprentice.’

If one were to think of it as a game, the easiest way was to use the informant.

By the way, this case was not dangerous content that was directly related to the darkness.

‘Let’s ask Moon Sae-ron for help with this case.’

Ding dong.

As soon as I sent the message, a reply with attachments arrived.

[Moon Sae-ron] Hmm! Ghost story material sent immediately! Let me know if you find anything new!

[Moon Sae-ron] Oh, I don’t know anything about a boy named Mok Woo-ram. I’ll do my best to find something!

[Moon Sae-ron] After investigating the ghost story, the scary content… No, I left out some useless tidbits… Ah, anyway, pick it up and give it to me. Understand?

I still thought that ghost stories were scary.

Another message arrived before I could even reply.

[Moon Sae-ron] Oh, right!

[Moon Sae-ron] Did you see the general bulletin board? Artist Green seems to have been caught by a completely insane child. Do be careful!

Was he a crazy kid who was aiming for Green?

Whenever I checked the general bulletin board there were comments containing nonsense that caught my eye.

‘I’ll have to check it out.’

After reviewing the articles and comments on the general bulletin board and finishing the other tidbits, I began to check out the delayed message.

There was also a mix of Hong Gyubin’s first-print taryeong, but most of it was a thank-you message from those who gifted the moon rabbit cake.

It was Jang Nam-wook who sent the longest thank-you note.

[Jang Nam-wook] Eushin-ah, I’ve received the moon rabbit rice cake as well. The red-eyed Jinjok that I saw at Jamsil Baseball Stadium back then is a product from a company run, right? I knew it was very difficult to make a reservation, but I knew I wanted to try it someday! As said, it was really delicious. I personally want to buy and try it. At the time, the exam was delayed a bit, so I studied while eating, and I think I will get good results thanks to it. Since the portion was sent to Sihoo, it was a lot, so I shared it with my school friends.

[Yoo Sang-hoon.] What a summary.

[Jang Nam-wook] …I just said thank you.

Unlike Eungwang High, where only the midterm and final exams were reflected in the personal score, I was told that the military academy only had to take midterm exams.

As if he was taking a break from studying, Jang Nam-wook continued to speak.

[Jang Nam-wook] Because of the exam schedule, I don’t think I’ll be able to compete in sports exchanges with Eungwang High in the first semester. In the second semester, the student council adjusts the test period in advance so that there is no setback.

At Doshihoo’s suggestion, the exchange between basketball clubs spread and become a school-level exchange match. Yoo Sang-hee also mentioned the exchange battle with the military academy, and I thought it would be held on a large scale in the second semester.

[Jang Nam-wook] I don’t know if I’ll be chosen as the representative or not, but I’m practicing basketball. Next time we’ll definitely win!

[Yoo Sang-hoon] Heh.

[Jang Nam-wook] …I don’t know why that single word ‘heh’ raises a fighting spirit. I suddenly wanted to practice basketball.

[Yoo Sang-hoon] Heh.

Yoo Sang-hoon had succeeded in provoking Jang Nam-wook with a single consonant.

Today, while watching Yoo Sang-hoon’s chat with excellent cost performance, I began to check the following message window.

It was a message from my homeroom teacher, Ham Geun Hyeong.

[Ham Geun Hyeong] It looks like the business trip to Hongcheon will be long.

What was happening in Hongcheon?

Judging from the messages he had now sent, it seemed that he didn’t come back, even during the week.

After reading all the messages, I continued to think about the future, even as I laid in bed.

‘I want to borrow the power of Yeom Jun-yeol, who is a member of the student council, for the investigation of ghost stories. Since he’s a disciple who pays attention to everything his master says, he will break the words of Seong Guk-eon.’

If possible, I wanted to conduct an investigation while keeping the conditions stated by Seong Guk-eon.

Contemplating what number to put, I began to fall into a dreamless sleep.

Sunday morning.

It had been a week since the party on the Cymopoleia had been hosted.

I made up my mind and began to head to the dormitory.

‘I have a lot of stories to tell, and I have important things to do.’

In front of the entrance of Hwang Myeong-ho’s mansion, Hwang Jiho was waiting for me.

“…I can guess what it is, but don’t bother asking. Jo Eushin, what is that burden?”

“This is Olmu’s gift.”

Indeed, in my hands and the bag slung over my shoulder was full of gifts that I intended to hand over.
