Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Kwak!
An ominous sound interrupted Woongnyeo’s thoughts.

Inside Woongnyeo’s laboratory, the leg of the workbench suddenly broke, and everything on top spilled onto the floor.
The bugs summoned by the greedy bear ate the leg, and the area around it rotted.
The gnawing sound continued.

‘A bug that is being used by a disgusting bear can break that?’
Woongnyeo’s workbench was made of sturdy materials, as she handled precious and dangerous materials.
Even if it was just a small bug, it wouldn’t be able to scratch it, but the bugs were constantly coveting the things in the laboratory.

The longer Woongnyeo handled an item, the more bugs were attached to it.
“Woongnyeo, are you surprised? Even while I was sleeping, my bugs evolved to eat the things Woongnyeo used and liked. Even while I was sleeping, I only think about Woongnyeo, and my bugs do the same!”
It sounded like nonsense, but Ungnyeo coldly judged the truth.

That bug seemed to eat anything that contained Ungnyeo’s supernatural powers.
It was nonsense based on the skills and common sense Ungnyeo knew, but she simply could not deny it when she saw the situation before her eyes.
The result of the powerful Jin clan sleeping for thousands of years while thinking of one being was a terrible monster that was the worst match for Ungnyeo.

‘It’ll be hard to even escape.’
Ungnyeo was once a warrior who fought on the front lines, shoulder to shoulder with the enemy, but not anymore.
With Ungnyeo’s betrayal, the Heavenly God took away the power that he had given Ungnyeo and the enemy when they had overcome the Three Seven Days Trial.

Ungnyeo was already a famous Ung clan member who was called a genius even before she had overcome the Trial, but this was not because she was good at fighting.
She had an excellent ability to understand the materials and principles that make up existence, and she specialized in reconstructing and strengthening objects based on this.
That’s why there was a rumor that if Ungnyeo strengthened the weapons made by Eunho, they would be the strongest.

‘I can’t deal with those trash bears with power fights or close combat. But if I fight with the things I strengthen or make, I’ll become food for those bugs.’
Furthermore, if the other bears besides the Bear of Greed had also fallen asleep and gone crazy while she was still alive, then escape would definitely be even more difficult.
Crack, crack.
The inside of the half-destroyed laboratory became dark because «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» the bugs had eaten up the lights.

Thanks to that, the powerful power wave flowing out of the Bear of Hatred’s open hand was even more visible.
Ungnyeo gripped her fan tightly.
She had prepared several means of escaping this damn bear den, but some of them were already full of bugs.

‘The moment the Bear of Hatred completes the summoning spell, the last trap will activate in response to the supernatural wave.’
Taking advantage of that gap, he dug into a safe escape route.
Ungnyeo completely hid her intentions and pretended to be relaxed as she prepared to respond.

However, there was someone who moved faster than the Bear of Hatred.
“Guys, do we really have to fight?”
The complex spell stretched out like a rope and tied up the Bear of Hatred, who was pulling up the supernatural wave.

Even the bugs that the Bear of Greed used and the Bear of Anger, who was trying to stop the Bear of Joy, tried to shake off the sticky spells that were stuck to their bodies, but they were unable to force them away or release the elaborate spells.
The Bear of Joy lightly jumped over the thin and long spells and blocked Ungnyeo.
“Get out of the way, Bear of Joy.”

“Listen to me. I won’t stop you out of the blue. I’ve come up with a compromise!”
The Bear of Hatred was annoyed, but he couldn’t just push the Bear of Joy away.
If the Bear of Joy, who was neutral, changed his mind after being aggressive for no reason, the battle situation would be shaken.

The Bear of Joy had been awake for thousands of years, obsessed with studying magic, and was also the one managing this hideout, so he couldn’t be taken lightly.
If there was a being with a reversed personality like the Bear of Greed, like the Ungnyeo, then the Bear of Joy’s power of speech was quite strong.
The Bear of Joy smiled brightly and said.

“If it’s hard to resolve through conversation, then just prepare to talk. Since everyone is very angry, let’s pick one person from each camp and hit and attack them until they calm down! Oh, I won’t let you die. If you do, I’ll stop you!”
The Bear of Joy babbled nonsense.
Unlike the Bear of Greed, who was aware that he was crazy, the Bear of Joy considered himself sane, which made things even worse.

When the bears did not respond well, the Bear of Joy made another suggestion.
“You don’t like this? Then how about we make everyone except one half-dead, and then the two remaining people talk and reconcile? Come to an agreement and choose who to talk to!”
Isn’t the Bear of Joy really crazy?

It seemed that the Bear of Sorrow wasn’t the only one who thought that way, and the bears remained silent.
The Bear of Joy observed the bears’ reactions and spoke brightly again.
“Is it hard to choose? Then I’ll choose instead! Then who…….”

Whoosh!
At that moment, the Bear of Doubt placed his hand on the Bear of Joy’s head.
The Bear of Joy accepted his touch without any hostility, as if he was stroking his hair.

Long ago, when the other bears would calm down the excited and childish Bear of Joy, they would pat its head like this.
The Bear of Eui-Gyu said.
“I’m sorry.”

Pit!
As the Bear of Eui-Gyu put strength into his fingertips along with the apple, his power flashed once.
The Bear of Eui-Gyu felt dizzy for a moment and staggered.

“Oh, Eui-Gyu? What is this? My head hurts……!”
“It’s part of my doubts and fears. It’s time for you to think a little.”
The Bear of Eui-Gyu had the power to attack the target’s mind.

Ungnyeo had seen enemies faint or go crazy after being hit by the power used by the Bear of Eui-Gyu several times.
It seemed that the source of the power used by the Bear of Eui-Gyu was his own thoughts.
As the Bear of Joy clutched his head and sank to the ground, the Bear of the Eight took his hand away.

“The Bear of Joy has never thought long. He won’t be able to withstand my power.”
“You did something foolish. If you had done as the Bear of Joy said, one of you might have been able to avoid death.”
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

“You never intended to listen to the Bear of Joy from the beginning, but you speak so well.”
While the Bear of Hatred laughed, the Bear of the Eight sent a signal with his hand carrying a pack.
When the bear woman recognized the signal, she fanned herself.

“Aaaaaaaaaa!”
Kwaaaaaaa!
The Bear of Joy screamed and unleashed his power wave.

The magic spell he had used to stop the fight lost control, and exploded like a bomb in response to the power wave that the Bear of Joy was spreading.
And in response to that torrential downpour, the last trap prepared by Ungnyeo was activated, and all of Ungnyeo’s works scattered throughout the laboratory were simultaneously blown up in a loud noise.
The only place that was not affected by the explosion was the area around Ungnyeo.

Whoosh!
Ungnyeo fanned herself once, pushing away the power wave that the Bear of Joy had sprayed, and stamped the floor with the tip of her shoe.
As the hatch opened, a swarm of bugs that had broken through the power wave and the storm of explosions rushed toward Ungnyeo.

The swarm of bugs that crawled and flew toward Ungnyeo while being burned by the power wave that the Bear of Joy had sprayed was terrifying.
“Even these bugs seem to lack thought.”
The Bear of Eui-Gyu stretched out his hand toward the swarm of bugs and injected his thoughts into them.

Then, the bugs that were touched by the thought trembled in one place or spun around like crazy and could not move forward.
The greedy bear, who had read some of the disturbed bug’s thoughts, shouted from beyond the storm.
“Ungnyeo, that bear is thinking terrible thoughts! Get out!”

If it’s a terrible thought by the standards of the greedy bear, isn’t it normal thinking?
Ungnyeo, who hesitated to push the bear of doubt out of the hatch because of that sound, took her hand away.
Ungnyeo confirmed that the bear of doubt had passed through the red hatch and ran silently along the path leading out.

Ungnyeo asked without slowing down while still hearing the explosion from the other side.
“Why are you cooperating with me? You’re not unloving them, bear of doubt, are you?”
Contrary to the sorrowful bear of sorrow who thought that anyone but Jeokho and Jeho were okay, the bear of doubt cared for the bear tribe in his own way.

His suspicions and fears deepened because of that kind of affection.
The bear of doubt answered.
“Because I thought that if I didn’t get the answer to my doubt, I would end up in ruin anyway.”

“What is your doubt that makes you think that way?”
“Ungnyeo, do you remember the origin of the modifiers used by Jinwoong Palseon?”
“Of course.”

The modifiers of Jinwoong Palseon originated from the emotions called Chiljeong (七情).
The seven emotions are ‘joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure, love, hate, and desire.’
The modifiers prepared were joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure, greed, hatred, and great desire.

“But there were eight bears who deserved the power.”
There are seven modifiers, but since the qualified bear was more than that, the ‘rak (樂)’, which symbolizes pleasure, was removed and the worries and doubts were added.
It was an expression of the will to give up pleasure and increase strength by repeating worries and doubts.

Also, the original bear girl was supposed to receive the modifier ‘sadness (哀)’ and become the bear of sorrow, but she refused to overlap the pronunciation with the ‘love (愛)’ of the bear of greed, so she became the bear of sorrow, which has the same meaning.
“A group of bears where joy does not exist. It would have been better if they had not carried the name of Jinung Palseon from the beginning.”
“Ungnyeo of sorrow, you are right. If that had been the case, there would have been no worries or doubts.”

When Ungnyeo of sorrow spoke lamentingly, the bear of doubt laughed and responded jokingly.
However, what she said next was far from a joke.
“Bi-ra-

Just as your adjectives said, doubt was part of the prophecy I received. I constantly doubted and feared the providence and existence that were taken for granted in this world.”
“I should have just ignored it and lived. The only thing that is worthy of doubt is the heads of bears who live shamelessly while harboring madness.”
“That is also worthy of doubt. However, the doubt I harbor is broader and heavier than such a light head.”

The bear of doubt stared at the ceiling as she spoke.
The sky was not visible because she had not yet escaped the bear’s den.
The path to the hideout became more complicated as it reacted to the wild joy of the bear’s energy.

The bear of doubt moved and waited for the bear of doubt to open its mouth more, but it became quiet again.
‘The bear of doubt doesn’t seem to have any intention of revealing its entire purpose here. I hope you will use it.’
If the bear of doubt did not properly express his intentions, Ungnyeo had no intention of opening her heart either.

Finally, they approached the exit.
The sound of wind and rain reached Ungnyeo’s ears.
However, in addition to the harsh air of the typhoon, something eerie awaited them.

“Ungnyeo!”
At the same time that the bear of doubt shouted, Ungnyeo also flew up.
Kwaaaaaaaah!

The door sealed in the name of Jinung Palseon was torn in half, and the shock wave that cut the door in two was about to cut Ungnyeo in two.
The sword strike was imbued with the energy of Jinung Palseon.
Ungnyeo quickly tried to block it with her fan, but it was already too late.

It was when Ungnyeo prepared herself for the shock.
Flap!
The black feathers scattered with a sound like wings flapping.

The bear girl opened her eyes wide as she recognized the identity of the power.
It was a feather handled by the servants of the crow demon king, Sidelentium, who symbolized indifference and silence.
