Future predictions have evolved again.

Immediately after the return, the future prediction showed the acting that had to be done.

Then, he informed me in advance of an incident that would interfere with my acting.

It was fine up until this point, but then one day I got dragged into the script.

Although it reached the peak of emotional acting, it brought about the side effect of aftereffects.

‘This is why I haven’t acted for 10 years.’

Since the end of last year, there have been signs that the shackles of aftereffects are being lifted.

Then, Mirae Yeji immediately went into the preview and told them to fight against corruption in private schools.

The first step was to get rid of the chairman and student council president’s subordinates, but the method was a bit strange.

[Ah, no! Haa… Sa, save me!!]

He became a serial killer and beat Seok-Tae Oh until he passed out.

To be exact, he played the role of a serial killer, but the other person took it for granted.

It’s not just the script that’s bringing the characters from the movie into reality.

‘I did play a killer.’

He just acted like a murderer to intimidate his opponent by exuding murderous intent.

But what Seok-Tae Oh saw was not a sparring partner, but a real murderer.

Because I was so scared that I ran away to a corner and struggled for my life.

With your mentality so shattered, there’s no way you can perform to your full potential.

Thanks to that, I laid him on the floor and beat him until he passed out.

It would be great if I could bring my abilities, but for now, all I can do is fool my opponent.

I don’t know when the ability will activate, let alone how to activate it.

We can only wait for it to be brought out when we need to foresee the future.

Still, I gained the ability to use acting in places other than a filming set.

If used well, it can become a cheat that is no less powerful than the ability to put it into a script.

*****

“Hajin needs to become famous.”

“Can you explain to me why I should be famous?”

Minji called the three of us to her house to celebrate destroying O Seok-tae.

Then out of the blue, he tells me to become famous just to see him.

I couldn’t help but question this declaration without context.

“Why? Because it’s necessary to realize the idea you threw out.”

He gave a hint to Minji, who was racking her brain to find a way to punish the chairman.

I dramatized the chairman’s final moments before his return as if they were my own thoughts.

In my previous life, the administrative director, who was the chairman’s wife, was kicked out first.

He mobilized students to the private gatherings of the chairman and his wife, told the students that it would be a free performance, but he received the proceeds from the performances and embezzled them.

In addition, the head of the administrative office responsible for managing school funds was dismissed after more than 20 cases of corruption related to misuse of public funds were discovered.

Naturally, there were calls for the chairman to take responsibility, but through clever tail-cutting, several teachers were cut and the chairman survived.

A few months later, students from the Department of Entertainment and Department of Video Production produced a video exposing the corruption within Seorim Arts High School and uploaded it to YouTube.

Various corruption allegations that the chairman and his group had been strongly denying were exposed along with relevant evidence.

This video, made in a musical format, became a hot topic overseas and surpassed 10 million views in less than a month.

A national petition calling for severe punishment for the chairman has surpassed 1 million signatures, and investigative programs such as PD News have given it significant coverage.

Eventually, the corruption was revealed to be true through a special audit by the Office of Education, and heavy disciplinary action was taken based on the audit results.

But the damn CEO ignored it and held on until he felt it was too late and filed an administrative lawsuit.

Of course, he lost, but he refused to accept the decision and shamelessly appealed to the Supreme Court.

The result was a final loss with a final verdict.

He resigned for personal reasons just before being dismissed, thereby collecting his retirement pay and pension.

The school received a notice to cancel its designation as a specialized high school because it did not improve any of the points of appreciation during its tenure.

He ended up shitting himself to death.

During this process, I told Minji about the exposure video that played a decisive role in the dismissal of the chairman.

It seemed like if we made good use of the popular Mutube, we would have a chance of success.

“Is it good?”

Of course, Minji was positive.

Because I know better than anyone else the power of visual media.

“But I don’t think uploading only the exposure video makes for a cool story.”

Oh, that damn story again.

“Then what are you going to do? I said it was a good idea.”

“I like the idea of a video. So let’s change the direction a bit.”

“How?”

“Look at this.”

Minji opens her phone and shows something.

[South Korea Youth Film Festival]

“What is this?”

Eugene, who had been sitting with a blank expression, showed interest.

“It’s a youth film festival hosted by the Korea Film Council. It started in 2000 and is quite large in scale. I’m going to go here. The goal is, of course, the grand prize.”

“I went to the video production department a few times, and the highest award was the silver medal in the high school division.”

Beomjun said, tapping on the tablet.

“The seniors also got the best silver medal, but we, who have never made a movie, are supposed to win the grand prize?”

“Have I ever made a movie?”

Minji puffs out her chest and laughs heartily.

Her breasts, which are larger than those of her peers, stand out noticeably.

I was looking at him without thinking and Eugene punched me in the side.

“Minji I won an award at the Busan Children and Youth Film Festival when I was in middle school. I received production support at that time and made two more films.”

Beomjun gave a neat and detailed explanation.

Minji was already a full-fledged film director who had made three films.

It is said that he wrote the entire scenario himself.

I thought you were just good at writing, but I didn’t know you were this talented.

“I was going to make it again since I was a high school student. When I heard Hajin’s story, this is what came to mind.”

“But what does going out here and receiving the target have to do with the exposure video?”

“Hehehe, listen carefully from now on. My gorgeous story.”

There are more people who don’t know about the Youth Film Festival.

It’s natural since students film and appear in it.

It is an event that simply aims to discover promising filmmakers.

“But famous kids are in it. The visuals are amazing. They won the grand prize. Will people be interested or not?”

In a word, the goal is to create a film that will be worthy of being submitted to a film festival of all time.

Then I showed him a movie I made in middle school, and it definitely wasn’t at the level of kids.

“I’m confident that I can produce a screen that’s several times, no, dozens of times better than this. Beomjun will take care of the music, so the rest are actors that all Koreans know.”

That makes sense.

The impact is different when a student appears and when a celebrity appears.

What if a famous person appears in a film that recently won the grand prize at a film festival?

To bring forward the events of a past life by a few years, you need fame to increase the credibility of the video.

“In that sense, Hajin, you, become famous.”

“They’re talking about me as if I should appear.”

“I’ll write the scenario, film and edit, Beomjun will do the sound and theme song, you two will appear… That’s how it’s going to be made?”

“What? Me too?”

Eugene becomes serious.

I know you’re going to bounce back even though I expected it.

“If you don’t like it, I’ll ask Nayoung. She’ll be okay since we’re close. And the other person is Hajin. You’re more famous than Yujin, but Nayoung isn’t that behind you.”

Park Na-young, who is gradually gaining recognition through youth dramas, is our number one.

“Who didn’t do it!!”

No matter how much you bounce it, it’s still in Minji’s palm.

If they even tell me not to do it, how much worse must it be for Minji?

“Then, we just need to make Hajin famous. Everyone in the country knows Eugene, but Hajin, it’s been too long since you appeared in a movie. Only people who know about your cover dance videos will know.”

“That’s why I said it’s impossible. When will I become as famous as Eugene?”

“You don’t have to go all the way to Eugene. It’s enough to recognize you when you appear on the screen.”

“That seems like a bit of a stretch too.”

“I’ll show you proof that it’s not a crowd. First, I’ll show you this video.”

What Minji showed was a video of herself sparring with Seoktae Oh.

It contained scenes of O Seok-tae being smashed from various angles.

“When was this taken?”

“Video production and kids. Much better than the video taken with a phone, right?”

“That’s right. But what are you going to do with this?”

“I’ll show you my editing skills. Beomjun will add the sound effects and background music. It’s a video of a handsome guy screaming coolly, and the screen is awesome and the sound effects are amazing. Aren’t you curious about how many views it will get?”

It’s the look in the eyes of a madman who wants to make an awesome video.

Beomjun also nods his head from the side.

“I’m going to create an official Genius Club channel. Other than this, I’ll continue to upload videos I’ve edited, videos of Beomjun singing, and videos of you two acting. We have to make it as famous as possible before going to the film festival.”

“Oh, that genius again.”

Eugene was annoyed, but there was nothing she could do since it was a name decided by majority vote.

Even though he grumbles like that, he seems to really cherish this group.

I called Beomjun because I was curious earlier.

“Did you just buy that new tablet?”

The main body was badly crumpled and the data could not be saved.

“This? My senior bought it for me.”

“Senior?”

“Yes, Seoktae Oh.”

The first thing I did when I got back to school after a week was to apologize to Beomjun.

After bowing my head and saying sorry, I handed over the tablet.

‘You kept your promise.’

Beomjun said that he felt uneasy because his senior had become too quiet.

“Don’t worry too much because when you come back from the dead, you’ll be a completely different person.”

“Die? Who?”

“There is something like that.”

If you nag me again, the killer inside me will fight back.
