Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

In front of the west gate of Eun Gwang-go, MITRON.

Most of the country was under typhoon warnings, so all the stores near Eun Gwang-go were closed, and MITRON was no exception.
Pastry chef Ryu Jang had posted a notice of closure on the web in advance, but ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) there were a few reckless customers who came without checking it.
“It’s closed! No way!”

“See, I told you it wouldn’t open today, ahh!”
Students who had braved the typhoon to buy bread screamed at the hologram announcing the temporary closure and retreated.
In particular, regular customer Bang Yoon-seop, who was presumed to have come to buy cookies, stood there with a blank expression before shedding a few tears.

Looking at him, it seemed like he had caused another accident and had come to the store to apologize to his girlfriend, but had come up empty-handed.
Ryu Jang thought as he looked outside through the recording device installed in front of the store.
‘I’ve grown since I got caught smoking last year and ran errands for Jo Ui-shin. Back then, I didn’t have the stamina and ability to withstand a typhoon like this.’

The back of Bang Yoon-seop’s body as he disappeared through the strong wind was quite stable.
Ryu Jang naturally thought of Jo Ui-shin after seeing the growth of the Eun Kwang High School student.
Jo Ui-shin sent a message after his polite greeting today.

[Jo Ui-shin] My proposal was accepted. Please take care of me.
A few days ago, Jo Ui-shin sent a device message to Ryu Jang saying that he had something to say about X, and Cidelentium responded without hesitation.
However, instead of Jo Ui-shin, the one who showed up was Baekho, a powerful mythical clan known for his arrogant personality and power that matched his arrogant personality.

Jo Ui-shin even moved Baekho to propose a deal.
The deal was to find out the location of a ‘silver coin of the oath of silence.’
Cidellentium moved his mouth through the gap in his crow mask and asked Baekho silently.

―X seems to be deeply intertwined with the Hojok and Ungjok as expected. If so, the pure silver coin you are looking for must be in Ungnyeo’s possession. But do you know what my pure silver coin is and are proposing a deal?
―Joeuishin knows.
―You seem to know it too.
―I know what Joeuishin knows.

Baekho spoke in such a shameless manner that Ryu Jang, who was quietly listening from the side, was shocked.
The pure silver coin that Joeuishin asked to find was the real one, and there weren’t many of them, and they were quite rare.
In the case of the replicas made by Ungnyeo that were circulating among humans, the oath of silence could be broken by cutting off the tongue or using a high-rarity curse removal item, but the original, the real one, was different.

The oath of silence made with the genuine article was protected by the power of the Demon King, who symbolized silence and indifference, so it could never be lifted unless Sidelentium was killed.
‘Did Student Jo really propose such a heavy deal?’
Unlike the rarity of the replica of the pure silver coin, which was SR+++, the original was UR.

Since Sidelentium’s power was so deeply imbued, if one wanted to, one could not only find its location, but also borrow the seal engraved on the coin and the crow’s eyes, and if one pushed a little harder, one could become a servant and exercise supernatural powers.
However, despite all this, Sidelentium watched over countless secrets for a long time and kept silent.
Knowing this well, there were many who held the pure silver coin in order to keep the heavy secret, even though they knew Sidelentium might be watching.

‘In order to find the pure silver coin that Ungnyeo had, one must check all the coins. In the process, the power of Sidelentium will be considerably consumed, and among those who own the coin, there will be those who feel Sidelentium’s gaze. In addition… … .’
Regardless of the secret regarding X, identifying the location of the bear girl through the silver coin was the same as intervening deeply in the fight between the noble clan and the bear clan.
If he were to deal with Baekho, it was no different from siding with the noble clan.

It was not something to say when he was in the position of doing business in the noble clan’s sacred territory and looking around here and there, but Sidelentium did not seem to have any intention of taking the noble clan’s side.
If it was the usual Sidelentium, whether it was Baekho or Hwangho, he would have immediately rejected whatever was proposed, but he hesitated.
The reason for his hesitation was because of Jo Ui-shin.

―It was a deal he had to refuse, but it was difficult. I really liked what Jo Ui-shin and those who were influenced by him showed me while wearing crow masks.
Ryu Jang also agreed with Sidelentium.
In reality, Sidelentium and Jouishin never fought directly together, but they spent countless hours wearing the crow mask.

In addition, thanks to Jouishin, the number of people wearing crow masks increased.
Since there was the Demon World Guide case and the Daegwanseok case involving Seongguk-eon, even if I refused this deal, my connection with Jouishin wouldn’t be severed, but I wanted to agree to most deals.
―I have to find the coin that Ungnyeo has, but I don’t plan on just letting them find it. There is a candidate.

―A candidate for Ungnyeo’s location? If there is, why hasn’t the Hojok moved sooner?
―The Hojok will soon get X and the Black Tiger back. It would be meaningful to move after that. And if Ungnyeo finds out while confirming the authenticity of the candidate, things will get complicated.
When X and the Black Tiger were mentioned, Sidelentium’s heart wavered even more.

As Sidelentium thought, Jo Ui-shin was the one who held the key, and he had finally figured out the answer and was preparing to open the door.
Not only that, Jo Ui-shin knew exactly what was beyond the door and what he had to do to get what he wanted.
- One of the Jinwoong Palseon, the Bear of Worries, was in the Abyss of the Hojok, and Yong Je-geon of the Yuhi World Dragon Clan had been trading with Ungnyeo for a long time. Through the Bear of Worries, he confirmed the place where he had studied the scales, and with Yong Je-geon, the place where he had traded.

Baekho said this while displaying a hologram map that Jo Ui-shin had made in his dream.
Before coming here, Baekho had half-threatened Yong Je-geon to confirm the place where he had traded with Ungnyeo, and had given the Bear of Worries false hopes to confirm information related to the scales.
The place that the Bear of Worries had mentioned was marked in the color of sewage water, and the place that Yong Je-geon had mentioned was marked in cyan, and they were all organized by time zone.

Jo Eui-shin selected candidates based on the completed map, including the fact that the hideout would have moved periodically, that the Ungjok were wary of the Hojok, and that the Ungnyeo would have confused Yongjegeon so that he would not be identified by the hideout.
As a result, there were three spots left on the map.
Baekho spoke arrogantly.

―Jo Eui-shin and I have already secured the location of the Ungnyeo. The deal we are making with you is just a means to shorten the time.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Sidelentium felt the movement of the coin, aware of the location shown on the map.

I only confirmed the general location to avoid being discovered by the Ungnyeo, but it really was one of the candidates shown on the map.
Finding out the location of the Ungnyeo and reporting it to the Hojok without any reason and confirming the location of the Ungnyeo that was already secured were completely different in value.
At this level, it seemed like it wouldn’t be bad to agree to the deal depending on the price.

―Okay. If the clan accepts my conditions, I will agree to the deal.
―Are you suggesting the conditions to the clan, not to the god of the underworld?
―If you don’t like it, I’ll suggest it to the god of the underworld.

―The clan will take care of it.
Baekho smiled as he answered that.
He didn’t know why he was smiling, but it seemed like he was smiling while thinking of the god of the underworld.

At that time, the god of the underworld in his dream grumbled, “You’re not even the leader. You’re not in a position to say that the clan will take care of it as you please. Just tell them that you might end up making a deal with me.” That’s when Baekho started laughing, but the two watching him didn’t know why.
Baekho quickly smiled and said,
―When we get the black tiger back, the god of the underworld will tell the yellow tiger the conditions you mentioned. Provide information depending on the results.

―Wait in anticipation. You’ll see something interesting soon.
And a few days later, the clan agreed to Sidelentium’s deal.
Even though he had set quite heavy conditions, Hwangho accepted without even negotiating.

Joeuishin seemed to have prepared to accept the deal in case the clan refused, but Sidelentium, Ryujang, and Baekho went about as they had expected.
After providing the clan with Ungnyeo’s location, Sidelentium observed the situation through the crow’s eyes engraved on the pure silver coin.
The moment Ungnyeo’s trap exploded, most of the items exploded, but the pure silver coin that Sidelentium was examining was safe.

―I will enslave the pure silver coin and accompany Ungnyeo.
“Wouldn’t Ungnyeo notice if I did something like that?”
―Since it was an item Ungnyeo had owned for thousands of years, it would be fine since her energy was strongly imbued on it.

The deal with the clan was already over, but Sidelentium had no intention of taking his eyes off of it.
And soon after, sparks filled with the power of the phantom blasted out from around Sidelentium.
This was what happened when the crow that had been Sidelentium’s eyes disappeared.

- That’s too bad. This is all I can see up close.
“Did you get caught by Ungnyeo?”
- No, Ungnyeo attacked me with a dangerous attack, so I sacrificed my followers. It wasn’t a blow that could destroy a UR-class item, but since I was a hastily put together followers, I guess they couldn’t hold out.

“Did you intervene? Protecting Ungnyeo wasn’t included in the contract.”
Ryu Jang’s expression darkened.
It would have been better for Ungnyeo to have discovered me.

There was a big difference between being caught and eliminated while watching, and being sacrificed while intervening.
“If you keep going like this, you might lose the ‘bystander’ part of your modifier.”
Ryu Jang said worriedly.

Recently, there have been more instances of Sidelentium interfering in the present world.
This was the case when Ryu Jang moved and touched Lia Fáil at Morian’s request, and this time.
In the case of Lia Fáil, Sidelentium did not move it directly, but rather it was done by Ryu Jang’s supernatural power, so Sidelentium’s modifier would not be affected, but this intervention was somewhat heavy.

―My contractor, my philosophy and thoughts have not changed at all.
As if to appease Ryu Jang’s worries, Sidelentium moved her lips more slowly than usual and spoke silently.
―I promised to remain silent and watch all the actions of those who swear by the pure silver coin engraved with my power. However, Ungnyeo only copied my coin, and did not use it for the oath. Strictly speaking, it is not the object of silence and indifference.

To Ryu Jang's ears, those words sounded like sophistry.
That might be true, seeing as Tium’s power didn’t weaken, but it was unclear how long this kind of sophistry would last.
Sidelentium’s words continued for so long that it was hard to believe that he was the Demon King of Silence.

―Joeuishin found X as I expected. This time, it would be more accurate to say that it was a tribute to Joeuishin rather than a bonus for the deal or an intervention for Ungnyeo.
Sidelentium fell silent again after saying that.
At that moment, a stream of supernatural powers suddenly erupted around Sidelentium like firecrackers.

Pabababat!
Ryu Jang opened his eyes wide.
The supernatural powers were incomparable to the amount of supernatural powers that had just disappeared from one of his followers.

It seemed like the eyes of countless crows had disappeared in an instant, or something had happened that Ryu Jang didn’t know about.
“What’s going on?”
―In fact, I had the Crows waiting far away from that hideout, or to be exact, on the road connecting the territory of the Hojok and the Hungjok hideout. They were all destroyed just now.

Ryu Jang thought, ‘As expected.’
Even if the deal with the Hojok fell through, Sidellentium was more interested in seeing this and seemed to have thoroughly prepared for it.
“Did the Hojok or the Hungjok do this?”

―The Hojok hasn’t arrived yet. Considering the location, it’s more likely the Hojok than the Hungjok. However, Jinwoong Palseon doesn’t have the luxury of dealing with my followers right now, and the other Hungjok probably won’t either.
Sidellentium poured out his powers as if drawing a picture in the air.
Then, the last sights he had seen before the Crows’ followers were destroyed unfolded.

Sidellentium slowly looked at it and moved his lips.
―It seems like there was a reason why Jo Ui-shin was in a hurry.
