EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school-Chapter 1063: Night Outpost (6)
The new man and his younger brother looked similar.
Cheongho was amazed at how similar the two were to the point where anyone would think they were blood relatives.
He never thought there would be another being as beautiful as the new man.
‘The atmosphere is different.’
If the new man was as bright and warm as the sun, the new man’s younger brother was as dim and cold as the moon.
Unlike the new man who was wrapped in bright-colored clothes, the new man was wearing dark-colored clothes, which made the difference in atmosphere stand out even more.
Cheongho looked at the new man’s younger brother just enough to avoid being rude, then lowered himself and spoke.
“It’s Cheongho.”
His gaze fell on Cheongho, who had lowered his body.
The new man’s younger brother stared at Cheongho for a long time and spoke.
“You don’t have to be polite to me. You only have one brother to pay your respects to.”
A low voice rang in Cheongho’s ears.
The voice of the new man’s younger brother was just as clear as his older brother’s.
The younger brother’s voice was a little lower, but it had a deep resonance because it was lower.
When Cheongho raised his head, he almost stepped back without realizing it.
The new man’s younger brother had come closer without a trace.

Cheongho met his pitch-black eyes, as if they were filled with darkness.
“I am a shadow person.”
Cheongho took a deep breath at the mention of the shadow.
The word ‘shadow’ was deeply related to the way the celestial god and his followers treated the new man’s younger brother as if he did not exist.
The celestial god took a human as his wife, but their honeymoon did not last long.
The second child was born with powers that did not match the mother’s body, and the celestial god’s wife died at birth.
The celestial god said, ‘Love has left, and only the shadow remains’ while looking at the child who would become the new man’s younger brother.
So the younger brother of the new man became a shadow without even receiving a proper name.
“My younger brother, if you allow me, I would like to give you a new name as an older brother. Since you have come to stay on earth, there is no need to call yourself a shadow.”
The new man made a friendly suggestion to his younger brother, perhaps feeling sorry for his younger brother who called himself a shadow.
In all of Young-in’s words, his respect for the new man was evident, and the new man also showed his love for his younger brother.
That is why Cheong-ho thought that Young-in would accept the new man’s suggestion and get a new name.
However, Young-in firmly shook his head and replied.
“Brother, this is the only name my father gave me.”
Cheong-ho thought that the heavenly god did not call him a shadow in order to give him a name.
It was just a kind of taunt filled with sadness and pain.
However, Cheon-shin no longer criticized or mocked the new man’s younger brother, so it was definitely the only thing he had received from his father.
Shinin respected Cheonshin, but he looked at Yeong-in with a complicated expression, as if he had difficulty accepting the treatment of his younger brother.
Cheong-ho could not properly guess what Shinin and Yeong-in had experienced in heaven, but after much thought, he said.
“Please take care of me, Yeong-in.”
When Cheong-ho called him Yeong-in, the cold and dark atmosphere like the moon calmed down a little.
Yeong-in smiled slightly and nodded.
The faint smile resembled Shinin’s shining smile, and Cheong-ho also made a gentle expression.
Shinin was happy to see that those he trusted had safely completed the declaration.
‘The person Shinin trusted the most was his younger brother, Yeong-in. Could it be related to Yeong-in and my loss of memory?’
Han-i thought about this memory.
Many memories came to mind at once, so he couldn’t organize them well, but Cheong-ho’s subconscious was shouting that Yeong-in and his wish had a big connection.
Han-i compared the Gaecheon myth he knew with the era that Cheong-ho remembered.
‘There are almost no records left about Shin-in’s younger sibling in modern times. We need to find out about Yeong-in, who remains in Cheong-ho’s memory.’
In modern times, records about Shin-in’s younger sibling have almost disappeared, but Yeong-in was famous for bad reasons in his time.
The fact that Yeong-in was treated as a shadow and neglected was well known to those who lived in the mythical era, and most of them feared the dignity and power of the heavenly god.
In order to avoid the wrath of the heavenly god, they did not even mention Yeong-in, and although some were bold enough not to fear the heavenly god, the Yeong-in themselves did not want to get along well with anyone.
That is why Shin-in cared for and cared for his younger sibling even more, and spent more time on it.
‘Yeong-in stayed in the territory of the powerful clan for a long time, but he did not get along well with the powerful clan.’
Rather than serving another child of the heavenly god, it felt like entertaining a precious guest brought by the god.
Eunho, the current leader of the Hojok clan, asked Yeong-in to be polite, but did not actively encourage them to interact.
Of course, some of Cheong-ho’s immature and reckless friends would act without thinking.
Hwangho and Jeokho once went in to play a prank, saying they would just look at their younger brother’s face, but they were caught by Poongbaek and Woosa, and even a commotion ensued where they called Shinin.
After that incident, Yeong-in’s access to his residence became even more strict, and his interactions with the Hojok clan gradually became distant.
However, Cheong-ho was an exception.
“Cheong-ho.”
“You... ...!”
“Keep your voice down.”
When Cheong-ho climbed a mountain away from the Hojok clan’s territory to practice alone, a stranger suddenly spoke to him, and he was wary. When he heard the voice, it was Yeong-in.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Yeong-in’s face was very different from what Cheong-ho remembered, but it was hard to feel uncomfortable even after looking closely.
The facial features were natural, and there was no trace of the face being distorted by the use of energy.
When Cheong-ho looked at Yeong-in with a surprised expression, he smirked and said.
“It’s a reverse technique. Don’t I look so much like my brother? If I reveal that face, there’s no point in going on secret missions.”
Cheong-ho agreed with Yeong-in’s words.
There were countless mountain spirits and heavenly spirits in this land, and they were all gossipers who loved rumors.
If they saw someone with the face of a god walking around, they would immediately spread Yeong-in’s movements in all directions through the mountains and waterways.
Since Yeong-in was not very active in associating with others, I thought he would be reluctant to go out, but Cheong-ho’s thoughts seemed to be wrong.
Cheong-ho asked.
“Why do you go on secret missions while hiding your identity?”
“Do you need a reason to inspect the land that your father and brother loved?” Yeong-in asked back, but Cheong-ho had no way to answer.
If he had used the reason of the celestial spirit and the new man, Cheong-ho would not dare find fault with him.
In addition, since his face was completely hidden, there was almost no chance of him being targeted because he was the younger brother of the new man.
‘The more I look at him, the more amazing he is. If I learn the magic of reversal, wouldn’t it help me train the new man?’
Cheong-ho, who couldn’t leave Yeong-in alone, thought about it as he went on the secret mission with him.
Yeong-in, who was moving slowly while looking at the trees and occasionally stopping to touch the ground, said.
“Cheong-ho, since your face has been revealed, the mountain spirits and heavenly spirits are already gathering. You should hide your face too.”
“I’ll take out a cloth to cover your face. There are some people who are so sharp that they can’t be fooled with just one cloth, so how about we end the secret mission now?”
“How about you learn the magic of reversal?”
He happened to want to learn the magic of reversal, and Yeong-in made a good suggestion.
Cheong-ho looked at Yeong-in with an expectant face that was easy to understand.
Yeong-in, who had an unfamiliar face, answered.
“If you want, I’ll teach you. But there’s a condition.”
“Go ahead.”
“Treat me comfortably as if I were your close friend. At least while I’m using the reverse magic.”
Yeong-in’s offer was unexpected.
Cheong-ho hesitated and then asked back.
“How can I treat Yeong-in like my close friend?”
“Didn’t I tell you when we first met? You’re serving my older brother, not me. Also, the Heavenly God lost interest in me a long time ago, but he won’t be happy if a noble family pays homage to me.”
Cheong-ho felt bitter at Yeong-in’s answer.
Cheong-ho, who was accompanying the new family, had more opportunities to meet Yeong-in than other noble families.
Yeong-in was a cold and static person, but he was wise and deep enough that it was understandable why the new family cared for him.
If he hadn’t considered other circumstances, he would have accepted Yeong-in’s offer, but Cheong-ho hesitated.
“Do you know how I treat my close friends?”
“Hwang-ho, who challenged you with a reckless condition in Taeho-kwon a while ago, cracked his leg during a duel, and Jeok-ho’s chin almost got broken by your hand when he tried to interrupt Hyung and Un-sa’s walk.”
Yeong-in was more knowledgeable about Ho-jok’s circumstances than he thought.
Cheong-ho felt embarrassed that Yeong-in knew all about his close friends’ indiscriminate behavior, but he couldn’t understand why he wanted to be treated the same as those close friends.
Yeong-in continued to speak.
“But I had a polite conversation with Eun-ho and drank tea, and I finished the duel with Baek-ho while respecting each other. And... ... .”
As Yeong-in’s voice continued, a faint emotion was revealed in it.
If Cheong-ho dared to distinguish the emotion, it was closer to admiration.
Maybe Yeong-in needed a close friend, not a brother.
Cheong-ho pretended not to notice this and said.
“You know us well.”
“Aren’t I the shadow of the sky? Wherever the shadow falls under this sky, my power reaches.”
Cheong-ho had already made a conclusion before Yeong-in finished speaking.
Cheong-ho decided to become Yeong-in’s first close friend.
“Then teach me a trick.”
“Okay.”
Yeong-in happily replied.
After that, Cheong-ho learned the reverse technique from Yeong-in.
Yeong-in asked Cheong-ho not to tell the clan that he had learned the reverse technique from him, so he complied.
Some clans were surprised that Cheong-ho had suddenly acquired the reverse technique, but no one found it strange.
It wasn’t strange that the genius who had invented the Taeho Kwon had acquired another new technique.
Only Yeong-in, Cheong-ho, and Shin-in knew about the reverse technique.
‘I can’t tell with just this. I know about Yeong-in, but I still don’t know why I’m here.’
As Han-i’s thoughts grew, his memories flowed quickly.
Because he couldn’t hold all the memories in his head, Han-i felt as if he had suddenly skipped a long time.
The next memory that Han-i recalled was after a long time had passed ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ since he had treated Yeong-in as a close friend.
Countless precious beings, including his disciples, had died.
, fought against the enemy, the bear tribe, and the heavens opened, and the tiger tribe became a mythical being, and the red tiger committed a crime and was tied to a red frame, leaving behind his son.
Eunho fell completely asleep, and Hwangho, who had been the temporary leader, became the official leader.
A considerable amount of time had passed since then.
One day, the god called Cheongho and spoke to him.
“The heavenly god will soon take away the remaining grace from the Korean peninsula. Before that, there is something I must do to protect this land.”
There was one more person there besides Cheongho.
It was Yeong-in.
“Little brother, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Please?”
“Help me become human.”
Han-i was certain that the request the god made to Yeong-in was related to his own wish.
