EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school
-
chapter-159
Kim Yuri had moved frequently since she was young. As of now, when she was in high school, her oldest memory was looking at a moving box that was bigger than her body.
—Where do you like Yuri? Where does she want to move to?
It was strange because it sounded like she was moving for Kim Yuri, but every time this question was asked, her answer was the same.
—Where you can see the sea!
Kim Yuri’s parents used to blur her face and mutter something like this when they heard her speak.—Can’t you see the river? No, robbery might be dangerous. Because it meets the sea at the estuary of the river…
—How about leaving Korea?
—If you don’t want to cross the sea, you have no choice but to go to China. But in China, immigration is strict. A glass-like case came out from there too…
—… … You will also check your personal history before entering the country.
In her childhood, Yuri did not understand the meaning of that conversation at all. She just thought, ‘She doesn’t speak Chinese, but I’m glad she stayed in Korea!’
Kim Yuri, who moved at most three times a year, or at least once a year, settled her down in Eungwang-gu, Seoul, where she currently lived in.
— I’m glad that Eungwang High seems fine. Nothing is happening here.—There is no natural syngeneic wave emission, and the children around Yuri are not hurt… ….
—Yuri, haven’t there been “strange things” lately?
At this, Kim Yuri nodded her head several times.
Even though she couldn’t see the ocean she only saw on TV, she liked the silver sphere. The ‘strange thing’, which she had continued until then, was cut off when she transferred to Eungwang High.
Perhaps it made her parents’ faces very bright, and she had a close friend, so she didn’t want her to move anymore.
-Yes! All the classmates are nice, and An Da-in is a really good kid. I want to keep living here!
While I was in Eunkwang-gu, I didn’t feel suddenly creeped out, nor did the children who were playing pranks on Kim Yuri get caught up in the phenomenon of natural synergism. In particular, being around her, her new friend, An Da-in, made her clairvoyant feel at ease.
—Maybe, ‘they’ gave up…
—Like the case where the ability would disappear when you grow up, ‘they’ may have fallen away from Yuri.
Having said that, Kim Yuri’s parents were relieved. With that, they lived in peace.
Her father, her photographer, leisurely took her favorite photos, and her mother, who stated that decorating her home cafe was her dream, also decorated her house. Because she always had to be ready to leave at any moment, the interior of her house changed with her flesh, and Kim Yuri was very happy.
It was when her Gwanglim seal was released that her relief and happiness began to break.
[Congratulations on turning 17.]
[Now that I don’t have to look at you, I feel like I’m living!]
[‘Noble Green Lady’ wants to see you.]
[I’ve been waiting for you. You have grown wonderfully.]
[Oh, Our Lady of Heaven came directly! I still can’t yield!]
[… … Wait, isn’t that a messenger sent by Kronos and Rhea’s son?]
[How did the messenger of ‘Azir’s hostage get here?] ]
When January 1st rolled around…
Higher beings appeared as if they had been waiting for her, and without giving her a chance to refuse, she made a bond with her. Her parents, who had been overwhelmed by the pressure of the ideologues around Kim Yuri, had a puzzled expression on their faces.
It was then that for the first time, Yuri Kim realized why strange things were happening around her, and why she had to move.
—Does Yuri know about the Seogucho incident?
It was an incident that led to the enactment of the Youth Gwanglim Restriction Act 30 years ago when an elementary school student’s Gwanglim ran into a runaway class. There was no way that the player, Yuri Kim, did not know.
However, she didn’t know that her elementary school student 30 years ago was her father. The fact that Kim Yuri’s direct blood relatives were often associated with higher-ranking beings was…
—The moment I acquired this ability, I received the protection and brilliance of many higher beings.
—But I didn’t have the physical or mental capacity to handle the blessings and luxuries of a higher being. Slowly, when this ability corrodes my body and mind, I will also have children who torment me…
There was a quiet fishing village in Gangwon-do. Seogu Elementary School was an institution where there were only three classes throughout the school. The place was a small and closed society in which there is no place to see and play, and limited human relationships.
There, Kim Yuri’s father, who was slurred in speech and fluctuated in spirit under the pressure of duality, was a good prey. As the violence wrapped up in the name of pranks and play between children grew more serious, the anger of the higher-ups surrounding him grew day by day.
At the moment when he was pushed from the roof of an elementary school on the 4th floor, saying, “If you have a talent, fly!”, in the end, Gwanglim activated it at will and ran into a runaway.
—God’s wrath is beyond human comprehension. It’s not uncommon to drown a city and start a war because one of my favorite temple pillars was damaged.
A huge tidal wave and storm sung by the runaway Gwanglim destroyed everything in Seogu Elementary School and disappeared. The survivors were Kim Yuri’s father and two friends who were being bullied together for hanging out with him.
In addition, there were three others: an old guard who took care of his plight and was able to protect him, a teacher nearing retirement age, and a student who had just arrived at school.
Only they were carried to safety by the gentle waves.
—I lived as a vegetative person for several years after that incident. When I opened my eyes again, neither the superpowers nor the higher beings disappeared.
—I thought it was over… …
However, it was passed on to Yuri. Her parents cried and apologized to her.
“It’s okay. Thanks for telling me.” Kim Yuri pretended to be okay inside and spoke calmly and resolutely.
“Even if it’s a strong Gwanglim, I’ll take good care of it! You also passed Eungwang High, the most prestigious player high school in Korea, with good grades. I’m not as strong as Da-in, but I’m also on the strong side.”
Saying so, Yuri comforted her parents by holding out her handkerchief and drinking hot tea. In fact, she was so numb that she didn’t even know what she was talking about. She did her best to reassure her precious family, just pretending to be calm.
“Nevertheless, just in case, I will receive the Gwanglim Sealing Ceremony. Do not worry too much! I’m OK!”
Her parents, who continued to be anxious even if Kim Yuri repeated comforting, were relieved at her words that it was her sealing technique. Yuri genuinely believed in her sealing technique, which protected her until she grew up.
However, her Gwanglim was difficult to suppress even with the association’s sealing method, and her father collapsed when he heard the news that her sealing alcohol could not be extended.
‘I don’t know what will happen the moment Gwanglim activates…!’
In Kim Yuri’s head, the video of the Seogu Elementary School incident was played over and over again. The existence of tsunamis and storms that pounded the land and buildings like a piece of paper did not leave her mind. She had no confidence when it came to controlling that power.
[We are waiting.]
[Call us anytime.]
[I am not reluctant to cooperate with the god of paganism, but I will think about it if you ask.]
At the whispers of God, Yuri covered her ears, even in her dreams. crouched her body. She wanted to dismiss that sound as a simple nightmare and fantasy that my fears sang.
[…]
[… Can you hear me? Now I know what you’re hearing.]
With that, she got up and started playing. When she hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and opened her watch, Kim Yuri realized that her last bulwark that had protected her had completely disappeared.
‘Mom… Dad… … !’
At this, Kim Yuri reflexively ran out of her room. As soon as the child from her terrifying dream woke up and sought her parents’ arms, she staggered and headed to the master bedroom on the first floor.
‘My dad passed away because of me, and my mom is taking care of me… …!
When she felt a sense of loss of strength throughout her body and was about to sit down. Her eyes met Jo’s god as she sat on the sofa in her living room and looked at herself. It was then that she remembered that Yuri Kim was not alone in her house now.
* * *
“It’s not unusual. The wavelength of the synoptic wave is subtle. Higher beings are also mixed with the Jin people.”
Hwang Jiho saw Kim Yuri and changed her complexion. Hwang Jiho was the first to see Kim Yuri, who had disappeared from the Gwanglim sealing ceremony. There was no way he couldn’t notice anything.
“It seems that the higher beings have double-digit numbers intertwined. How….”
“Let’s sit down.” Hwang Jiho interjected.
Yuri Kim staggered like a doll with her thread cut off and sat down on the single sofa across the table, while Jiho Hwang stood still with alert eyes.
“You sit down too.”
“…Did you know?” Seeing me calmly acting, Hwang Jiho was blatantly suspicious. It was not wrong, but I ignored it. Hwang Jiho, who was staring at me for not answering, sat on the sofa between Kim Yuri and I.
“I, so… … actually… … . As Jiho said….”
As Kim Yuri shivered, she revealed that she had made connections with a number of higher-ups. In addition to this, she had no control over that she had no confidence in herself.
“What do we do? She dropped out of school and where would she be better confined? Is there any way to get rid of this ability?”
“Do not do that.”
“However… Our peninsula might become like Seogu Elementary School….”
“It’s okay.”
“It’s not okay!” Kim Yuri raised her voice a little.
“I don’t have the confidence to control this wild forest! I pretended to be okay, but I’m not okay, I’m not confident….”
Her voice was getting louder and trembling. “I’m sorry for suddenly shouting… … So, I…”
“That doesn’t mean it’s okay.”
At these words, Yuri Kim looked at me with her puzzled eyes. “It doesn’t matter if your abilities go wild. It meant that you can use Gwanglim as you like.”
Her puzzlement she embraced turned into her astonishment. “What do you mean?! Our class might die or disappear like the people at my dad’s school!”
“It will be fine. Do you think Ham Geun Hyeong or the children in my class will be easily offended?”
In Eungwang High, there was no one tormenting Kim Yuri like the casualty of the early Western incident, and even if she was caught up in her, it was rare to die easily.
“Isn’t it?” When I asked Hwang Jiho, he nodded, watching the situation quietly.
“Okay. I don’t get hit by Gwanglim.”
It was almost the same as saying, ‘Shall we try some pizza for dinner tonight? It was like talking.
“Hey, Gwanglim….”
“It’s annoying having a lot of high-level beings intertwined. Let’s assume that the Gwanglim runs wild enough to consume your mind and lifespan… Still, if I try my best, I think it will work out somehow. Because this is the Korean Peninsula, which has the most powerful intelligence, and the existence of those who can use it is determined.”
Hwang Jiho’s words were probably not pretentious. Although the higher beings were said to be gods, there was a limit to how much they could intervene in this world. It bothered me that he had a clue of “if he did his best,” but it was important to be able to stop it anyway.
“The important thing now is your side. If you keep rejecting the higher beings, you could be harmed by omnipotence.”
“Hey Jiho….”
Kim Yuri made a surprised face as if it was surprising that the best doli in our class gave serious advice. I also added a word. “It’s okay, so stop worrying about your surroundings. There are a lot of people who find it harder for you to get hurt than for your wild forest to run rampant.”
Her family, An Da-in, my classmates and the students…. There were a lot of people who value Kim Yuri, who was bright and always considerate of others. While Kim Yuri hesitated, a voice came from the second floor.
It seemed that the children who woke up came to visit us. “Oh, everyone is up! Eushin and Jiho were not in the room, so I was wondering where they went.”
“What did you do when you weren’t sleeping?”
“In commemoration of Kwon Jae-in sunbaenim’s appointment as an honorary teacher, the string club has uploaded a new special video! It was running.”
“I slept for a while and then woke up.”
It was close to dawn, but everyone was busy. The air in the living room seemed to change just by the appearance of the children. Kim Yuri looked at the children talking and asked carefully.
“…So, would you like to have a late-night snack and play a board game?”
“Yes!”
“Oh, I’ll do it too.”
“Song Dae-seok pretends to be asleep and wakes him up.”
“Ah… … Dae-seok can’t sleep when the pillow changes. I’ll have to bring a pillow next time.”
All the children agreed to Kim Yuri’s proposal. Song Dae-seok, who was in the worst condition because he could not sleep at all, became the best player in all games. This in turn made Kim Yuri feel better.

On her way back to the dorm. Hwang Jiho asked, “What is Kim Yuri’s true identity?”
Kim Yuri had no connection between her higher being and her kin. She was nevertheless entangled with a higher being and she was suffering that.
“‘Magnolia’ appeared in Kim Yuri’s dream.”
“… Was it because of the god of the sea, who was obsessed with the magnolia?”
She was said to have smoked her magnolia when the daughter of the Jade Emperor died while having a crush on the northern sea god. In addition to this, it was a legend about her magnolia that the sea god went crazy for her.
“After the clash of different worlds, there are many cases where a certain energy is strong in a certain family. Kim Yuri’s house has a strong magnolia energy.”
“It’s the Magnolia that drove the northern sea gods crazy, so there must be a lot of people interested in the higher beings related to water.”
“Okay. There are many higher beings related to water, so even if only a few of them are interested, the number will exceed ten.”
Hwang Jihho, who was listening to me, spoke out roughly. “It is said that butterflies twist on flowers, but this is a bit harsh.”
It must have been a kind of metaphor, but it was just as Hwang Jiho said. Butterflies were the way to twist flowers.
‘I wouldn’t have been able to go out because Hwang Jiho was right next to me.’
