There was no need to attend middle school after the incident.
I simply informed them I was to traumatized to go and needed a break.
'There wasn't a need since I was going to be accepted either way.'
A special high school entrance exam including Eungwang player master high school began in November or December and ended in December by the earliest and latest by February.
The final exam for the 2nd semester in middle school was at the end of December, so the score considered for the exam was until the 1st semester of 8th grade.
'I don't need to go to school.'
Based on Jegal, I anticipate passing the theory exam.
So, I'm free since I don't have to attend as I have already decided to be accepted.
'In the past, I attended school despite knowing that I was accepted.'
After the acceptance, there could be penalties such as getting a zero for general score due to absence as retaliation.
Still, if I take the final exam, it doesn't matter if I attend or not.
If I fulfill the minimum number of attendances, I normally wouldn't get my acceptance canceled unless I get expelled.
When I apply for a job, there are almost no companies that look at the secondary education details, and even if they did, they only looked at high school so there was no disadvantage.
'There are a lot of things to do, but let's just go once.'
I still decided to go to chess matches I scheduled but that was all.
The best way to utilize the time was get rid of my trauma.
I still had difficulty playing with chess for long.
My opponents were surprised by how cold the hands were. It wasn't all that bad but as I kept playing I felt a short dizziness it was difficult to play I only stopped when I truly did not feel well though most of the time I didn't stop.
I played with a AI even if my condition was bad because I couldn't afford to keep this weakness.
'I want to play with my main character Baek Ho and my junior Eun Ho.'
Back then I had no idea that Seongheon idolized me. I only knew because of the novel it was after my family had died that I stopped playing. I never knew why Seongheon felt so comfortable around me in the beginning but it would have been that he recognized even without the glasses I wore just like the novel had said.
'As for Baek Ho...Come to think of it isn't he interested in chess in this life as well?'
Since I didn't see Baek Ho during the entrance exam I can only conclude that this world is based on the game.
'In the novel Kim Shin Rok said that he was learning chess because he wanted to be closer to his teacher Baek Ho.'
Let's say that Baek Ho is unaware of the setting. That would mean that certain events would be disrupted in the novel the person who always had Jo Euishin's back was Baek Ho.
'The blessing had a question mark what the hell did that even mean?'
One of the theories was that Jo Euishin was blessed by the white tiger. However I couldn't remember exactly.
'...Let's focus on current situation. I'm going to meet Namwook and Sanghoon later from there I will prepare to meet with the head of the Ho clan.'
"So, Euishin and I need to give a testimony?" Namwook said furiously without hiding his anger.
They were inside a room of a Korean restaurant which Sanghoon invited them to.
Sanghoon didn't say a word other than the greeting.
Sanghoon's parents appeared to be very serious.
The person who led the conversation was Sanghee, Sanghoon's sister.
"Yes. I will compensate you much as you want. The skill I have is rare so if you become a professional player, you will earn quite a lot. Of course, as a senior at Eungwang High School, I can help you in many ways."
'If it's Yoo Sanghee she would do anything for the sake of her brother there's no way she would let the perpetrator who used her brother as bait get away.'
When Yoo Sanghoon was younger he was sick. Yoo Sanghee did everything in her power even being in TC groups debt...
This was information in the novel. In the game she would have died during the Christmas collapse using the power of Nemesis instead of Akea.
'Is everything the same with my playable character?'

'It's the one I know from the novel and not the game.'
Once I was done waking Eun Ho I planned to wait a bit for New Years. After that I would have to reorganize a bit I want to save my playable character but for now I would have to wait and see. Saving my playable character will still be done I just wasn't sure of all the effects it would bring. Like the appearance of the of the original protagonist.
The extras Namwook and Sanghoon shouldn't have survived people that didn't belong like Gye Dam started to effect the future the protagonist knew.
The paths of my playable characters differ immensely from the novel.
In this world Yoo Sanghee would be able to live a peaceful life if I followed the novel or at least changed the ending from the game.
"There's no need for compensation. Even if the litigation is long, I will testify until the end."
Namwook spoke confidently.
Also, he looked at me expecting 'to join as well.'
"I won't."
Namwook made an explicit disappointed face but Sanghee replied in a soft voice.
"Okay.... Thank you for saving this moron. If you weren't there, he would be dead."
"Whatever. Euishin. Let's eat."
Sanghoon opened his mouth for the first time while he didn't mind about my rejection.
Sanghoon's parents thanked me many times at the hospital and thanked me again with a warm smile.
However, I wasn't done.
"Please have an accord as fast as possible. It would be best if it's done by today or tomorrow."
"....Huh?"
The atmosphere became quiet.
"Also, I will give a condition that the agreement won't be leaked outside," I added after drinking plum tea.
"To keep Namwook and I quiet, it's better to raise the compensation."
"What! I'm testifying!"
Namwook shouted intensively.
"It's better to put a penalty for non-disclosure as twice or triple the agreed amount."
If Sanghee could kill with attention, I would be dead three times already.
Sanghee's eyes had a murderous spirit in them.
"Are you telling me to take the money and shut up?"
"Yes."
Sanghee's warm traits were removed and wild words came out of her.
"Deal with it properly and bring down Son Minki."
