Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Chapter 797

The class president election for Class 0 at Eun-gwang High was notorious.

Class 0 had an overwhelming number of attention-seekers and eccentric individuals compared to other classes, which meant that there were always people vying for the position of class president.

The eccentric students of Class 0 frequently fought over the position, engaging in meaningless bloodbaths and swapping leadership.

In the case of Woo Gi-hwan and Geum Chan-wangchan, they were outstanding enough to maintain top grades and lead the crazy ones, but they had often faced threats to their presidency.

"Geum Chan-sol and Wang Chan-sol almost got impeached, and that's when Yeon Ga-ram temporarily took over as president."

Last year, not many people showed up for class, so the class officers were decided smoothly, but this year was different.

Since fourteen people showed up today, we couldn't just decide like last time.

I didn’t think the good students of our class would act childish and fight over the class presidency like the other seniors of Class 0.

As I expected, one of the two tasks was quickly resolved.

"Then, the class officers will be the same as last year. I'll work hard again this year! Please take care of me."

Kim Yu-ri, the former president, was smoothly elected after conducting the vote.

Looking at the results, it seemed like the attention-seekers and Jin Jeongmuk, who had just arrived, also voted for Kim Yu-ri.

Kim Yu-ri had a deep reputation due to her consistent communication with those who had her contact information.

"Kim Yu-ri being elected president is one thing, but why did I get elected..."

At the request of the class, both the class president and vice-president were chosen separately, and everyone voted for me.

Compared to the hard work Kim Yu-ri put in, I hadn’t done much, but it seemed they just wanted to give me the title of "suspicious vice-president."

"I know you were busy last year, Uishin, so I wanted to let you rest, but if possible, I'd still like you to be the vice-president!"

"I feel bad asking you to take on a role after you helped so much, but if I have to choose, there are only two candidates... "

"I agree with Lena's opinion."

"Oh, I just voted without thinking. I’m not sure about making him do too much work though."

Some, like Maeng Hyo-don, seemed to have voted without thinking, but it looked like I was chosen because I didn't make any major mistakes last year.

Gu Seul-bi and Ong Gil-dong, who had arrived early in the morning, wrapped up the desks and chairs in Aurora-colored plastic, then said something.

"Well, if it's those two..."

"In a short time, both of them have shown trustworthiness as president and vice-president. It's natural that they were elected."

The two exchanged a few glances and blinked at me.

Why were they looking at me like that?

Could it be that they voted for me out of loyalty as fellow eccentrics?

If that’s the case, then it was really a pointless gesture.

"I thought two classmates would challenge them. This is unexpected."

The Dark Knight, who had moved his desk to the darkest corner of the classroom to maintain his concept, said to the two attention-seekers.

I was thinking the same thing as Jin Jeongmuk.

Geum Chan-wangchan had been making trouble every time the student representative meetings were held, so I suspected these attention-seekers might want to challenge us to get noticed.

However, both of them had chosen Kim Yu-ri and me as class president and vice-president.

"After all, we don’t need to be class officers to stand out and be special and great, right?"

"Exactly. And we still have work to do. After the club registration period ends, we’ll leave again."

I thought they’d only show up for the first day and then leave to convince the school refusees, but it seemed they had a change of heart.

It seemed they would attend school until the club registration period ended, but I wondered if they had any clubs they were interested in?

"I heard about Seul-bi while I was visiting the greenhouse run by the gardening club. Are you planning to join the gardening club?"

When Min Green said that, it felt strangely touching.

Min Green, who had once suffered from social anxiety, volunteered to join the gardening club and even talked to a strange attention-seeker from another class.

When Min Green spoke, Gu Seul-bi proudly said:

"I guess you want to borrow the power of the great Druidess. With such a rare power, it’s only natural that you are welcomed wherever you go."

Gu Seul-bi's "Grace of the Green Hand" was indeed a powerful force, enough to say such things.

If the climate, soil, or other conditions weren’t right, many plants would quickly die.

But with Gu Seul-bi's power, all those conditions could be ignored, allowing seeds or saplings to grow.

There would be no need to spend a long time and effort to see the flowers or harvest the fruits.

When the attention-seekers and Jin Jeongmuk saw Gu Seul-bi create endangered trees in the blink of an eye during a competition, they seemed to have been stunned.

"Last year, I joined a small club. I didn’t attend school, but I did participate in a few events to help."

"Didn’t the adviser or the club president say anything about it?"

"The adviser said it was fine. Thanks to the free atmosphere, even someone like me, who sees the world as my stage, can comfortably stay."

When Song Dae-seok asked sharply, Ong Gil-dong answered in an exaggerated tone.

It seemed that the adviser or other members of the small club were quite open-minded, since they accepted someone like Ong Gil-dong who didn’t even attend school properly.

It seemed Ong Gil-dong really liked the club, as he added:

"This year, I hope it gets promoted to an official club after I work hard on its promotion."

As I silently observed, Han Yi, who had been watching, frowned after reading Ong Gil-dong's lip movements.

The Tae-ho Kwon club had been greatly reduced in size after the third-year students graduated.

Tae-ho Kwon required a proper physique to be effective, and with few places to learn, almost no one chose it as their main attack skill.

Since the number of students signing up was fewer than three, the Tae-ho Kwon-related subjects were being phased out, and maintaining the club was becoming a difficult task, let alone promoting it to an official club.

"Hmm, if you're willing, I’d be happy to promote it to an official club."

Hwang Ji-ho, who was sitting next to me, turned his head away from Han Yi and muttered under his breath.

To promote it to an official club, several conditions needed to be met, and approval from the general club council was required, so I wondered what the old man was trying to do.

Could he be planning to enlist a bunch of his subordinates or clones and make them all join the Tae-ho Kwon club?

If it was for Han Yi or Gong Cheong-hwon, I could see that happening.

"Now, let’s decide on our class motto!"

Last year, due to Mr. Ham Geun-hyeong's strong decision, the motto had been "Regular attendance," but this year was different.

Mr. Ham Geun-hyeong wanted the fourteen students to discuss and decide the motto themselves.

"Can’t we just use last year’s?"

Maeng Hyo-don seemed to have taken a liking to the silly motto.

Or maybe he was struggling to come up with something new, so he got stuck.

Many opinions were raised, but they all related to attendance.

In the end, after consolidating the suggestions, a new motto was decided.

Kim Yu-ri entered it as the class representative.

[100% Attendance]

The motto was somewhat of a goal, wasn't it?

This year, we decided to aim for 100% attendance.

Mr. Ham Geun-hyeong seemed quite pleased with the motto, looking at the hologram panel with the thick Gungsuh font with satisfaction.

After the morning assembly, our classmates had snacks before the classes started.

Today’s snack was a strawberry crostata made with seasonal strawberries.

"So, there was a kid doing experiments in the dormitory, and a 0th class student was playing around outside, which caused the elemental force to leak and an explosion happened?"

"Yeah, that’s what happened! Apparently, they used a powerful elemental force when they dropped the mannequin to create a creepy atmosphere. That caused some of the elemental power to leak out..."

The topic of conversation was the explosion incident caused by a first-year student.

Mr. Ham Geun-hyeong, thinking of last year's events, had a worried expression on his face.

Kwon Lena awkwardly smiled and looked away.

She seemed to have realized that the first-year students were trying to reenact the incident.

Before I could change the subject, Mok Woo-ram stepped up first.

"I heard that the first-year students are aiming to be the best Class 0. What do you think they’ll do next?"

"They’ll probably follow what the senior 0th class students did, right? Hmm, that leaves us with a lot of candidates."

As Sa Wol-seum said, there were many possible candidates.

Just summarizing all the pranks the previous Class 0s pulled would take days, so it was hard to guess what they would do next.

But I had a vague idea of what the first-year Class 0 students would do next.

The first to come up with an answer was Kim Yu-ri, who looked worried.

"...This is bad."

"Why?"

"The worst and strongest students in Class 0 right now are Geum Chan-wangchan seniors. Think about what they did right after they entered the first year."

The time when Geum Chan-wangchan first entered was called "The month from hell."

Before they were influenced by Je-gal Jae-gul, their actions caused a huge mess at Eun-gwang High.

That chaos started when Geum Chan-wangchan’s group challenged Woo Gi-hwan’s gang to establish a pecking order.

Looking at it from the perspective of the first-year Class 0, our class was likely to be their first target for this hierarchy.

"Oh, so they’re going to have a duel?"

"Let them come at us."

Maeng Hyo-don and Dokgo Mi-ro, the class's martial arts enthusiasts, responded firmly.

I knew they were fine, but I wasn’t sure about the others.

"Don’t worry. I won’t lose to a hierarchy challenge."

It seemed that the old man wasn’t planning to be overthrown either.

If Eun-ho were to join that battle, I wasn’t sure how he would respond, but since I knew Eun-ho wouldn’t waste his time on something so pointless, I didn’t need to think about it.

‘I wonder if Eun Seo-ho and Eun Yi-ho will be okay? I hope they don’t get dragged into this... Yoon Yeorang will probably just watch, even if I try to stop him.’

Thinking about that, I felt the bitter taste of the pie crust that I had just chewed.

I’ll need to keep an eye on the younger students so they don’t get caught up in this foolish fight.

And if a fight breaks out, I’ll have to quickly subdue it to minimize the damage and help the first-year students get their heads together and focus on their school life.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ham Geun-hyeong, who had been watching the whole process, spoke with a serious face.

"Be careful not to get hurt."

"Yes!"

As he knew he couldn’t stop it, Mr. Ham Geun-hyeong seemed to focus on worrying about the students instead.

The students energetically replied.

While we were preparing for the fight with the first-year Class 0, things were unfolding differently than expected.

[Eun Seo-ho] Uishin-hyung, we're planning to participate. Please cheer for us!

[Eun Yi-ho] We’ll definitely win! Even if we lose in grades, we won’t lose in our abilities!

[Eun Seo-ho] Can you come by?

After school, I received a mysterious message from Eun Seo-ho and Eun Yi-ho.

They seemed excited about something, but because they were so overzealous, their enthusiasm was conveyed without clear content.

It didn’t seem like they were planning to fight our class, but what were they up to?

The mention of grades made me think they might be targeting Cha Seokwon or Eun-ho.

That question was answered by Eun-ho’s message.

[Cheon Eun-ha] There’s an event today to decide the class president. It will be held in public, so come if you have time.

It seemed that the first-year Class 0 was planning to sort out their hierarchy internally first.
