EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school
Chapter 1277: Seat (2)
Andain’s request mixed feelings.
Andain was a talented person who could lead the students, but at Plumago, he was not even a candidate for student council president.
Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang were greedy and cunning, and they knew how to learn from past experiences.
Having failed to stop Kwak Kyung-gu from becoming student council president, they devoted their utmost efforts to putting the people they wanted in the student representative positions next time.
If we were to name four people who represented Eun Gwang-gwang, they would be the student council president, the head of the leadership department, the local chapter president, and the general club president.
If we were to apply the current situation to Plumago, the local chapter had disappeared, the student council president and the head of the leadership department had died on a school trip, and students had died in various incidents and club activities were almost inactive due to the machinations of the faculty.
‘Stablemate, where Yong Je-geon was the advisor, must have disbanded because they could not find a new advisor, and the Taeho-kwon club must also be in danger of disappearing. If Geumchanwangchan and his group had not resisted to protect the newspaper department left by Jegaljaegeol, the newspaper department would have been absorbed, merged with the school newspaper editorial department, or simply disappeared.’
The general student representative election was held after the school trip.
Due to the number of people behind the scenes in the disaster, Eun Gwang High School students were treated as perpetrators rather than victims.
Choi Pyeon-deuk and his group, who led the third-year students to Mt. Halla, actively contacted the media and incited public opinion by fiercely criticizing the students for causing the disaster, and Gwak Gyeong-gu, who was the student body president at the time, became the target of attacks before he could even recover from the grief of losing his friend.
Choi Pyeon-deuk and his group took advantage of the chaos to try to take control of the student representative, and they succeeded.
Those who took control of Eun Gwang High School’s administration also tampered with the admissions system, greatly increasing the number of students who had been admitted through fraud, so they were able to influence public opinion and even voting on campus.
As a result, the student council president position was taken by a fraudulent student who bullied Andain, killed Shinsoo, and blocked the escape route on First Christmas, increasing the scale of the damage.
Unlike in this world where anyone who belongs to a club or small group can vote for the student council president, only the club president and small group president can participate, making it easier to manipulate the results.
As a result of Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang threatening some department heads that they would abolish the clubs and small groups if the president they had pointed out was not elected, another fraudulent student ended up in the student council president position.
‘The newspaper department began investigating the process of electing the student council president, but it was too late when the results came out. The only one they could not touch was the leadership team leader.’
Unlike other student representatives who are elected through open elections, the leadership team leader was decided within the leadership team.
It is said that Oh Hye-ji and Cheon Dong-ha, who were former leadership team leaders, were elected unanimously by advisor Ham Geun-hyung and the leadership team members.
However, the process of electing the vice president of Plumago was not smooth.
It was because there was a difference of opinion about Joo Soo-hyuk, who was mentioned as a candidate.
‘Joo Soo-hyuk still had a bad reputation due to the Bang Yoon-seop incident, and he was often attacked.’
That said, there was no vice president who could withstand the external pressure of Choi Pyeon-deuk’s group.
Opinions were greatly divided on this matter, and in the end, Joo Soo-hyuk declined the position of vice president, and another student was eventually elected.
Although he did not do much, the vice president who received support from Ham Geun-hyung and Joo Soo-hyuk did not move according to the wishes of Choi Pyeon-deuk’s group.
Meanwhile, Choi Pyeon-deuk’s group was still afraid of Ham Geun-hyung, so they were doing everything they could to cover up their eyes.
However, he came into conflict with Ham Geun-hyung after he made a statement that blamed the students for the school trip incident.
Mr. Ham Geun-hyung was furious, asking how a teacher could hold a student responsible for the disaster.
Then, Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang brought up the possibility that the player’s special ability caused the volcano, Yeom Jun-yeol’s rampage, etc., and criticized Mr. Ham Geun-hyung for his soft attitude, saying, “Before being a student, they are regular players, so they should take responsibility.”
At first glance, it sounded plausible, and the students planted by Choi Pyeon-deuk and his gang actively agreed with that opinion, but it did not shake Mr. Ham Geun-hyung.
What shook Mr. Ham Geun-hyung was the subsequent scenario of the Demon World.
Thinking about the situation at Plumago surrounding the student representative general election, I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed and happy now that Andain was running for student body president and had me give a speech in support.
“Eui-shin didn’t register as a candidate for any student representative this time. But many people will find it hard to accept.”
“Convinced? If you don’t run for student body president, everyone will feel skeptical about the student representative election system and the perception of Eun Kwang High School students.”
“Sometimes, Eui-shin makes grand jokes.”
My sincerity didn’t reach Andain.
Of course, it wasn’t a joke.
In fact, surprisingly, Andain expressed regret that I didn’t register as a candidate for student council president.
A while ago, Andain said that if I registered as a candidate for student council president, she would support me and suggest that I nominate her as student council president.
I was shocked by that, and I repeatedly emphasized that Andain was the one who was fit for student council president and that I would support her as one of the students.
It was ridiculous that I could beat Andain to become student council president!
“I have many things I want to do as the representative and student council president of Eun Kwang High School. However, I thought that Eui-shin would also want to lead Eun Kwang High School in the same direction as I do. That’s why I wanted to become student council president if Eui-shin became student council president.”
If I had known how to express my feelings a little more honestly and actively, I wouldn’t have been able to hide my excitement.
Each and every word of Andain was beautiful, and the fact that I was the subject in them was so honorable, but there was something that got in the way of the flow of the words.
Andain spoke as if I would be elected if I ran for student council president.
I wanted to point that out, but Andain smiled so brightly that I thought all the flowers blooming in Eun Gwang ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) High School would be embarrassed and wither away, so I couldn’t dare raise a question.
“But I know that Eui-shin is thinking of not only resigning from the student council president position, but also from the student vice president position. Instead, Eui-shin said that she would trust me and support me. So I would like you to present how I will work with Eun Gwang High School as student council president and what I will do in my support speech.”
Many thoughts crossed my mind as Andain spoke.
I was certain that Andain didn’t ask me to give a support speech simply because she was close to me or because rumors were going around that her good juniors were pushing me to be a student council president.
After much thought and consideration, I could tell right away that he had asked me to give a speech of support.
However, I couldn’t easily accept.
The speech of support for the student council president was usually given by the candidate’s closest friend, and in most cases, the person in charge of it became the student vice president.
Of course, there were times when someone close to the student council president candidate took on the role, even though he wasn’t scheduled to be the student vice president.
‘When Do Won-woo was in charge of the speech of support, Ji Myeong-soo was in charge of the speech of support and became the student vice president. When Yeom Jun-yeol was in charge of the speech of support, Kwak Kyung-gu declined, so the then-president-designate and vice president-designate Cheon Dong-ha took charge.’
I thought that if Andain were to ask someone to give a speech of support for her as student council president, it would be her close friend Kim Yu-ri.
If it was Kim Yu-ri, she would definitely present a clear and cool reason why Andain should become the student council president.
There would be no problem if I declined to give the speech of support here.
The words of the capable Kim Yu-ri will move the hearts of the middle class and the existing supporters will have confidence, so Andain's campaign will proceed without a hitch.
However, Andain thought about it and mustered up the courage to ask me to give a speech of support, so I couldn't refuse.
I decided to respond to Andain's heart.
"I'll do it."
"Thank you, Eui-shin!"
When Andain laughed, I laughed too.
My choice was not wrong.
I don't know how much my speech of support will help the future student council president Andain, but I must do my best.
Andain hasn't been through the election yet, and that will never happen, but even if this world, the country, and Eun Kwang-go fail and I fail, I am already the student council president in my heart and will always be.
Yeom Jun-yeol was already like that, and Do Won-woo, who was once ugly, was the same.
Of course, Seong Guk-eon was like that too, although he didn't know it.
As I thought about the student council presidents in my mind, a strong candidate for student council president suddenly came to mind.
‘Actually, Joo Soo-hyuk is also a person who is fit for student council president, but he said he was going to be the president of the leadership department.’
Since Joo Soo-hyuk is a member of the leadership department, it may seem natural that he would become the president of the leadership department instead of the student council president.
Usually, a former student council executive would register as a candidate and become the student council president, but that wasn’t always the case.
Seong Guk-eon, who was from Class 0, wasn’t a member of the student council before he became the student council president.
With only his pledges and speeches, Seong Guk-eon received overwhelming support and became the student council president, leading Eun Kwang High School.
So even if he was from the leadership department, it didn’t mean that Joo Soo-hyuk’s possibility of becoming student council president disappeared.
In fact, Joo Soo-hyuk, who seemed like sunshine, might have an advantage in the election compared to Andain, who seemed cold at first glance.
‘If both of them had run, I would have had a happy dilemma. Me and everyone else in the Silver Advertisement.’
Just as the two received the same number of votes in the class president election and had to compromise to decide who would win, the student council president might end up like that.
If the candidates who received the same number of votes in the student council president election both win first place, a runoff election will be held between the tied candidates.
However, both of them were perfect enough that the result of the runoff election could have been the same.
Student council president Andain, student council president Joo Soo-hyuk.
Just imagining them made me happy and proud.
I was happy that the two existed at the same time, but it was sad that the two student council presidents couldn’t be elected at the same time.
Still, just imagining Joo Soo-hyuk, the vice president of the leadership department, made me happy, so I decided to console myself.
As I happily headed to the newspaper club to do my club activities, Moon Sae-ron, who seemed to be waiting for me, spoke to me right away.
“Suspicious vice president, is it true that you’re in charge of giving a speech in support of Dain?”
“It’s true.”
“My dear......!”
I heard the news in the meantime. Moon Sae-ron’s information gathering ability was truly amazing.
While I was admiring him, Moon Sae-ron sighed with a sullen face.
“Have you forgotten what rumors were going around recently? The support speech will be broadcast live on campus and off. But what do you think people who saw that would think?”
Rumor!
Moon Sae-ron’s eyes turned bloodshot as he uttered that word.
The same phenomenon must have occurred in my eyes.
No, how could I forget that rumor?
I didn’t forget it, but it couldn’t be helped that Andain’s beautiful suggestion for a speech of support faded and disappeared into the depths of my memory.
I decided to sincerely thank Moon Sae-ron.
If I had not been pointed out now and had given my speech of support, an irreversible situation would have occurred.
‘That doesn’t mean I can withdraw my speech of support.’
The speech of support and the rumor.
I had to consider both.
I clenched my hands, which were dripping with cold sweat, and said.
“I’ll count the numbers.”
“Please.”
Moon Sae-ron and I looked at each other and nodded firmly.
