EP.266
So, Brian and his classmates worked hard to create promotional materials and make distribution plans. Is this unity and unity? I felt like there was nothing to be afraid of as the kids in my class all worked together.
“Kya! This is unity and solidarity!”
If we are united like this, we will be able to handle anything that comes up without any problems.
We came together under unified values and the promotional material was completed.
Thus began the election campaign.
“Everyone! Please support this Leona Caenus!”
“Good school, good worker! Vote for Leona!”
“Oooooh!”
In the morning, while Leona took her seat and gave a speech, I shouted slogans and distributed red hats, and Brian drew aggro with a b-boying dance.
Brian, who was completely addicted to dancing, has now become a monster who starts dancing whenever he wants as long as the right stage is prepared. I am the most excited because they are asking me to promote the election. This guy is showing off the aggro of a balloon doll.
“Wow. Look at the head spin.”
“Because there’s no one in particular to choose.”
“The kids on the other side don’t know.”
Everyone, including the warrior class and the dharma class, watch Brian dance and hear our voices with their own ears.
“Wow. As expected, the response is good? Everyone is interested.”
I nodded at Sihu’s words.
“Hehe, that’s right. It feels good to see unity.”
“huh.”
Originally, in a typical school, elections and other things were just a quick break from class, and no one was interested in the candidates being elected. But now. All eyes are focused on Leona.
Aggro becomes influence. If the concept of the chairman is clearly ingrained in your head, it will be easier to ask for cooperation and cooperation later.
That is network.
“Hey Ryu!”
At that very moment, Mr. Ryu was caught ignoring us and going to school!
“Where are you going? I need to get this!”
Such a shame!
I immediately approached him while holding a promotional material, and he waved his arm as if trying to shake me off.
“Go away, you bastard!”
“Huh? Don’t you accept what the kids in your class made together?”
“What do I care!”
“Huh! What! Are you serious about that? We’re all trying to work together, but it makes sense that you, the guitarist of Armor, are left out!”
As I shouted out of frustration, other kids around me also raised their voices.
“That’s right! Yes!”
“Ryu Cheonhwi! Accept me!”
“It’s our hearts!”
“Oooh! Mr. Dragon! Watashi will be sad if you don’t accept it!”
“this…!”
At that point, Mr. Ryu’s face started to turn red.
“Mr. Ryu! Everyone is saying that! Please accept it!”
This guy is very weak to being attracted to aggro.
“Tch! Give it to me!”
-Paaah!
Mr. Ryu roughly grabbed the promotional material, folded it in half, and took it into the school building.
“Baby. But I still take it.”
It won’t be long until that lone laughing bell wolf will join the united pack. I’m not good at subtle pushing.
“Leona. We’re almost out of time. Let’s stop promoting and go in.”
“Oh yes! Just say the last word!”
Leona, who was speaking excitedly as she sang while standing on the podium, spoke the last time.
“There shouldn’t be any distance between classmates! We are all classmates and colleagues for the future! Let’s use this as an opportunity to create strong unity! Let’s create our own home together here!”
“Nawabari! Nawabari!”
“Nawabari! Nawabari!”
“Nawabari! Nawabari!”
Come out!
“Good atmosphere.”
Well, after finishing my election activities, I was trying to organize my place and move in. I saw a group of students walking from over there. What? I can see it’s coming towards us.
Their identity is exactly that.
“Nice to meet you. We are the non-combat class president candidates and electors.”
“Non-combat squad kids!”
They were non-combat class kids!
These are guys with various amazing but not particularly helpful abilities in combat. After graduation, they become non-combat heroes in research, production, and office work.
Anyway, I looked at the electoral college.
Overall, it feels more like a typical high school student rather than a hero cadet. That’s true in reality too. The physical abilities of the kids in the non-combat class are at or slightly better than that of an average person.
“Oh yes! Nice to meet you! My name is Geun-cheol Kim! Let’s compete hard!”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Leona Caenus. How about you?”
“Nice to meet you too. My name is Park In-geun. My ability is… It might seem a little funny to you guys in the combat group, but I have the power to separate the components of rare metal from other worlds.”
oh.
That’s fascinating.
“that’s interesting.”
“Is that so? And there are a lot of kids in my class who have the power to help the otherworld industry in that way. So when I become president, I want to work to connect the school with some otherworldly-related companies.”
“What?”
These guys have more vision than they think, right? I didn’t really think about it because it seemed like he barely had any presence and was just studying hard, but after all, a superhuman is a superhuman.
You definitely have a vision.
“That’s okay! Let’s compete well! Of course, since you’re trying to win, there’s no need to look at it, but I’ll listen to that side of your story once I become president!”
“Hahaha, okay. Thank you.”
After saying hello, the non-combatant electors returned.
“You have surprisingly good vision. We must not let down our guard about this.”
“I guess so. Anyway, let’s try our best to promote it during lunch after class later, Leona.”
“Yes! Now that the right opponent has appeared, my fighting spirit is on fire! Let’s do our best!”
I returned to the classroom with Leona in good spirits.
* * *
“The enemy is stronger than I thought. It could be a difficult match.”
Nevertheless, there is no doubt about victory. The mindset to win for sure. I was born in a democratic country. You can’t lose the election.
Leona is the student council president and I am the vice president? Isn’t this the center of power? The thought of bragging about being vice president already makes me feel good.
For that future to happen, we must win.
“Hehehe.”
Anyway, it’s lunch time. Likewise, there is no time to go out to eat. I have to work in the classroom for a bit and then go straight to promoting it.
So today I’m on my way to the store again. Bring something to chew and eat quickly. Everyone is working above, so you have to get there quickly.
ㅡJump, jump, jump.
On the way to the store.
“uh?”
ㅡJump, jump, jump.
Suddenly, I started hearing very strange footsteps coming from somewhere. what? That’s not my sound. Is there something around?
ㅡJump, jump, jump.
As I look around, the ominous footsteps start to get louder. I looked back, feeling a little nervous.
And what I saw was.
“What…?”
of this school.
hyeon.
student president.
“What…!
At that time, the student council president who had been defeated by us was standing in front of me!
“Don’t be so surprised, first year. I’m sane now.”
He said as if there was nothing to be wary of because a reinforced human who had been inhumanely remodeled and was usually in an irrational state had just returned to his senses.
“How can you believe that! “Why did you come here?”
“There is no particular reason. “I only came because I had to say thank you.”
“What?”
“Thank you for stopping me that day. Junior Kim Geun-cheol.”
“Huh?”
The student council president
thanked me in a very dry tone and scratched the back of his neck. What is it? Why are you so ordinary? Are you really sane today?
“A face that looks like you are wondering if you are really sane today. “This is it.”
“Huh!” How can you do that?”
“Because it’s a face I see often.”
Apparently, this person
is known as a psycho to other second graders as well.
“Anyway, thank you. That’s all… my foolishness. It was a misunderstanding.
“Oh yeah… right. It was all a misunderstanding.”
Still, seeing as he came to apologize, he doesn’t seem like a strange person. It really took me ten years. I thought I saw some kind of ghost, but it was a person.
“That’s right. I’m sorry. But when I saw you then… I suddenly had a flashback of last year’s memories. It still remains in my mind as a big trauma.”
“ah.”
“At that time, I was literally just a foolish child… I thought it would be more romantic than anything to sing beautifully and confess on a beautiful stage.”
“Huh…!”
Please don’t tell me dark history!
“But no… absolutely not. Of course, that happened a year ago. That doesn’t mean I suffered for a whole year. It was just… a trauma that stayed in my memory. It became a thorn in my heart.”
The student council president said as if he was in pain, holding his head with his hands.
I thought that his face was like that of a soldier who had come from a battlefield in the past with wounds that could not be washed away.
“Everyone has that kind of trauma. Even you, my junior Kim Geun-cheol.”
In those words.
“…”
I could only lower my head slightly and think about my trauma. Can I truly say that I don’t have anything like that?
ㅡ…
Did I really not experience trauma in the vague memories of the past?
“That’s what trauma is like. Even though I usually think about it… it’s painful, but it doesn’t feel so terrible that I lose my mind. Humans are creatures of adaptation. In the end, we bury it in our memories.”
“…”
“But if, for some reason, the memory of that ‘terrible past’ comes to mind… a ‘person’ can always ‘run away’.”
Serious tone.
The student council president put both hands in his pockets and looked at me with cold eyes.
He says that to me with his back straight.
“What happened at the festival was just that. Your appearance was so strikingly similar to mine that it took me back to that time.”
“yes.”
“Think deeply about trauma management. This is the lesson I, the president, give to you, my first-year junior.”
It does make some sense.
A man called the student council president.
I think he’s a pretty good guy.
“Remember, we may be physically superhuman, but mentally we are not that strong yet.”
Light reflects off the chairman’s glasses.
“We mistakenly believe that because our bodies have become stronger, our minds have also become stronger. Our minds have not yet transcended humans. We remain merely human. Just because we are superhumans does not mean we can endure terrible penances like the virtuous monks of the past. That doesn’t mean it’s true.”
“…”
“Someday, you may experience such trauma or mental pain. Be careful about that. Although there may be someone who can protect you and prevent such outbursts like during the festival, there is a high probability that there will not be one on the battlefield.”
Sounds like some sort of veteran soldier.
I couldn’t answer because I was thinking about what he said. Therefore, as soon as the chairman finished speaking, silence fell and I said something to lighten the mood.
“So, brother. Did everything work out with that senior named Sujin?”
“It’s Sujin… Well, I knocked it down a few times to overcome the trauma of the past, but well.”
What kind of crazy talk is this?
“It doesn’t seem to have worked out well.”
That was the end.
The student council president spoke emotionlessly, without any feelings of relief, regret, or anything like that. He turned his body.
“Adios.”
He raised his hand and greeted me as he said the last words.
“Psycho…”
No matter how you look at it, he is a psycho.
A word from the author (author review)
Surprisingly, the student council president is sane! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
