Chapter 1328: Experimental group (1)
Before Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha graduated from Plum High, a multitude of bizarre incidents occurred amid the chaos at Eunkwang High.
One of these was the so-called “Mysterious Pit Incident.”
Across the entire Eunkwang High campus, pits of consistent size kept appearing daily, while a strange phenomenon killed all plants—from Cheon Ik-san to the greenhouse and garden plants in the research zone.
The culprit was none other than my playable character among the first-year juniors, Cha Seok-won.
‘He tried to solve the mystery experimentally and through observation, questioning why plant death rates varied across areas despite almost identical conditions.’
Cha Seok-won deduced that the secret lay in the soil.
The death of plants was deeply connected to the soil—disrupted earth veins, dried-out psychic energy, and even the death of the divine beast symbolizing Shinyeok.
Each night, Cha Seok-won dug up the school grounds, naively hoping to find the cause and thereby satisfy his curiosity, save the plants, and improve the school’s atmosphere.
But when /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Yeom Jun-yeol discovered Cha Seok-won was behind the pits, he thought differently: the faculty must be involved in the school’s anomalies, and Cha Seok-won digging around would likely be removed.
‘So Yeom Jun-yeol told him a trusted teacher’s name and advised using the authority of himself and Yeom Bang-yeol if needed.’
While Yeom Jun-yeol was still enrolled, Cha Seok-won was safe and his research went smoothly.
However, after Yeom Jun-yeol was killed during the school trip and the Red Lion’s revenge failed and shattered, Cha Seok-won lost his protector.
