[Yoo Sanghoon] What are you guys up to?

On my dormitory room bed.

I was lying down on my bed and checking the messages in my inbox when I saw the suspiciously lengthy message sent by Yoo Sanghoon.

Normally it wouldve been Jang Namwook who would analyze why Yoo Sanghoon sent uncharacteristic messages with more than three words in them, but Namwook was still busy with all the work he has.

On behalf of Jang Namwook, I sent a ? message, and surprisingly, long messages came one after another.

[Yoo Sanghoon] You both left your seats.

[Yoo Sanghoon] Euishin left from the very beginning, and Namwook midway.

[Yoo Sanghoon] Isnt it related to the communication signal being blocked right before the opening remarks?

Yoo Sanghoon had senses as sharp as a knife.

Ive prepared excuses for the communication signal being blocked during the opening ceremony and the performance of the ritual.

Sports facilities that accommodate a large number of people should have an evacuation system in preparation for an unexpected otherworld occurrence, and in the case of the Eungwang Stadium, it had an R++ class boundary just like in Jamsil Baseball Stadium.

However, after the incident at the Jamsil Baseball Stadium, there was an opinion that major stadiums across the country should have at least SR++ rank boundaries in preparation for unexpected circumstances.

The problem was the budget, but the upgrade of the boundaries was underway thanks to the support of the business community, as announced by the Joo-Oh Group and TC Group.

In the case of Eungwang Stadium, the construction began under the leadership of the Hwangmyeong Group, so it was easy to cover the communication interference as a problem encountered while constructions were still underway.

Well, having questioning people like Yoo Sanghoon is inevitable.

Even if Yoo Sanghoon doesnt run his mouth to others, the incident is already deeply related and personal to Do Sihoo.

I was just about to change the subject subtly, but Yoo Sanghoon hit the bulls eye.

[Yoo Sanghoon] I didnt see Do Sihoo too. Is it related to him?

Just in time, Jang Namwook went online and checked the message.

He responded in a quite freaked-out manner.

[Jang Namwook] Sanghoon, how did you know that?

[Yoo Sanghoon] Just thought so.

[Jang Namwook] Ah TT

Although there wasnt anything weird in particular with the conversation, it felt a bit unfamiliar that Yoo Sanghoon was taking the lead.

His messages were consistently long, and even if he noticed that Namwook and I were trying to avoid the topic, he kept pushing it.

Whats going on with him?

Before I could ask anything, Yoo Sanghoon sent another message.

[Yoo Sanghoon] That bastard said something weird to Yoo Sanghee. Is it related to that?

[Jang Namwook] No. It doesnt have anything to do with Sanghee noona Whats going on?

[Yoo Sanghoon] Hes telling me to choose my career path carefully. I guess Do Sihoo is just talking nonsense.

What did Do Sihoo say to my playable character?

It didnt seem like Yoo Sanghoon mentioned it for nothing, but his messages got shorter and shorter, while Jang Namwooks messages became very long.

With ten lines of mixed encouragement and challenging messages sent by Jang Namwook, I decided to check my other messages.

[Park Seunghyun] (Photo)

[Park Seunghyun] First match, first MVP!

The photo showed the first-year striker and Park Seungyun.

The first-year striker was still wearing his uniform and the MVP medal, and his hair was noticeably messy.

Todays MVP is quite tall for a freshman, so I thought Park Seunghyun, who was quite small and had a somewhat timid personality, would be intimidated.

However, looking closely at the picture, the two actually looked like close friends.

Park Seunghyun didnt have a friend like this in the game.

Persistent harassment not only causes victims to suffer but also changes their personalities.

Victims of bullying tend to have defensive and introverted personalities, so perhaps thats why Park Seunghyun didnt have close friends inside the game.

It took Park Seunghyun a long time to open his heart and become close to Joo Soohyuk in the second semester.

Even so, he was conscious of interacting with Joo Soohyuk inside the school, perhaps because he was afraid that the fact that he was illegally admitted to the school would be uncovered.

But hes much different here. He even joined the Jiikhoe, and hes taking good care of Mok Wooram Hes very different from the Park Seunghyun that I knew.

I felt that Park Seunghyun changed a lot after the April Fools Day incident.

After looking at the photo, I sent a congratulatory message to Park Seunghyun for him to relay to his friend, and a thank you message for taking care of Mok Wooram.

In the next message room that I checked, the topic was also the freshman striker chosen as the games MVP.

[Moon Saeron] I interviewed todays MVP!

In the newspaper departments group message room, photos and interviews taken by the members were uploaded one after another.

The freshmen members had to choose photos to attach to the article that wed release about the opening ceremony, but they felt that all the photos were worthy of being put on the front page.

The photos showed the empty stadium before the event, the countdown to the opening ceremony, White Tigers sword dance, the Playlists filming, and the soccer match.

Although the photos were divided by event, it wasnt easy to decide which ones to include in the article because all the photos looked nice.

[Moon Saeron] Dont you think itd be nice to just pick a group photo, and then we can release the other photos in another album?

[Moon Saeron] All the players in the student council and student association are popular, so I think people will line up to buy it if we sell it.

Moon Saeron was right.

The cheering squad was overflowing with perfect players, such as my playable character and title heroine Ahn Dain, and vice-president of the student association Ji Myungsoo.

[Moon Saeron] I think the one that left the best impression was the guy that reenacted the White Tiger scene from the Myth of Gaecheon. I think we should publish his photo first! LOL

Moon Saerons words awakened me.

Since it was my main playable character that reproduced the mythical feat, it wouldnt be strange at all to have him in the photo book, but it wasnt exactly desirable for him to be published and attract unnecessary attention.

White Tigers identity is currently unknown.

What people thought was that he was a student belonging to Eungwang High.

Chairman Lee added the ritual performance to the schedule last minute so we didnt have to give a fake student profile of White Tiger, but Im afraid that if Moon Saeron digs into this, she might discover things that she shouldnt

I decided to change the subject.

[Me] Im going to write an interview article about Yeom Junyeol sunbaenim. Which picture should I include?

[Moon Saeron] Heol, Yeom Junyeol?! I wanted to interview him about Playlist, but looks like you beat me to it! TT

[Me] He said he doesnt take any questions related to Playlist. I think its better to use the pictures taken during the broadcast.

The news of Yeom Junyeols interview changed the topic immediately.

After receiving recommendations from Moon Saeron, I checked the other messages.

The next one was from an unexpected person.

[Geum Chansol] Hey, Suspicious Vice President. Are you and your classmates close with Dokgo Miro?

Year Two Class Zero president Geum Chansol sent me a private message.

He usually sends a message through the group message room with Wang Chansol so I wonder whats going on.

Is it something that he doesnt want Wang Chansol to know?

I wasnt sure why Geum Chansol was trying to secretly talk to me about Dokgo Miro, but I decided to answer his question carefully.

I told him that we briefly met through Yeom Junyeol, and a strangely insidious answer came from him.

[Geum Chansol] I see. So you must not be very close.

I heard that the Class Zero seniors were caught by Gong Cheonghwon trying to terrorize Chairman Lees office and that they were scolded badly by Jegal.

Perhaps that incident made Geum Chansol act weirdly?

Well, he has always been weird.

The next message is from someone I also do not understand.

It was from Seodol, the strange royal lineage who whined for me to save his contact under the name Prankster.

[Prankster] I am about to return home from England. I have prepared two things that you could say are similar to a gift.

Things that are similar to a gift.

What does that mean?

I was more concerned about him speaking formally to me.

[Prankster] Oh, you ask what I am planning to celebrate my return? I am not sure if Jo Euishin would like it or not, but I think the other one perhaps Jo Euishin will hate.

[Prankster] What do you think?

How am I supposed to answer that when I dont even know what hes talking about?

Something that I could either like or hate.

Something that I would dislike.

I dont know what it is, but Im sure its far from a gift.

I was planning on leaving him on read, but a new message came just in time.

[Prankster] Please dont leave me on read.

I had no choice but to do as this man pleased, so I sent him a quick response, saying that he could do whatever he wants to.

I moved on to the next message, and it was from someone who received the Pranksters order.

Its been a while since the sun set, but it looks like this man was still working.

[Hong Gyubin] I got the nursing officers confession just now.

[Hong Gyubin] He said that Do Sihoos body was planted with seeds and that he manipulated the test results.

Seeing that Hong Gyubin wasnt typing like his usual self, it seems like the interrogation didnt go as planned.

[Hong Gyubin] Hes still quiet about the person whos behind all this.

[Hong Gyubin] I think he knows that the only name I am sure of is the executive who remitted the money. Hes asking to be pardoned in exchange for intel.

[Hong Gyubin] you know very well whats going to happen if we hand him over to the military police.

The judicial officials within the military dont go easy against player-soldiers who commit crimes.

From historical evidence, player-soldiers who committed crimes have all been thoroughly punished under the principle of zero tolerance.

[Hong Gyubin] Im not willing to let this guy be pardoned. Its not worth it.

[Hong Gyubin] Everything he told me was vague, but Im going to hand him over to the military police sometime soon.

[Hong Gyubin] Ill dig more into it for the rest of the time I have left.

Hong Gyubin spoke flatly.

I have no doubt about the associations competence, but it may be better to take a more efficient route since our time is limited.

Wouldnt it be better to call the torture expert?

Should I suggest to Hwang Jiho to have Kim Shinrok take care of interrogating the man?

I sent a message to Hwang Jiho, and I got a reply almost instantly.

[Hwang Jiho] Why are you not resting?

Well, I just sent you a message.

I thought I didnt have to answer the obvious question, so I got straight to the point.

After that, I checked the next message, which was from Kwon Jein.

[Kwon Jein] Is Lena doing well?

As far as I know, Kwon Lena spent the weekend at the Lake of Eternitys team building.

It seems that Kwon Jein has also noticed that something was wrong between Kwon Lena and Saeum of April.

I sent Kwon Jein a picture of me and my classmates from today.

Kwon Jein was very happy to see the photo, but Im sure she noticed that Kwon Lena was standing from quite a distance from Saeum of April.

As I was about to close my eyes, I saw another message arrive from the free-spirited royal lineage.

[Ok Toyeon] Benefactor

[Ok Toyeon] Lets go watch baseball next year

Not too long ago, the TC Knights were confirmed to be eliminated from the league.

Since then, Ok Toyeon has been messaging me every night, inviting me to watch baseball next year.

As someone who knows what would happen in the TC Knights future, I sent Ok Toyeon a short message and turned off my device.

As for Saeum and Lena I dont think I can do anything to help.

I fell asleep as I tried to think of good ideas.
