Chapter 1288: Seat (13)
While Jo Yi-shin and Kim Yoo-ri were absent for Andain's election campaign, signs of division appeared in Class 0, despite their previously strong bond built on shared strengths such as the class's relatively young average age.
Although their homeroom teacher, Ham Geun-hyeong, intended to trust the students and wait patiently, his assistant, Yong Je-geon, saw an opportunity to seize the position of class president during the turmoil. Ham Geun-hyeong, sensing this, decided to intervene.
"...Let’s settle this before the student representative election is over."
"Yes!"
The students interpreted this as permission to do whatever they wanted during the election period, thinking that they had Ham Geun-hyeong's approval. They were even more determined to do everything they could in this short span of time.
As a result, Class 0, which had split into five factions over the class president position, saw intense political maneuvering and small-scale conspiracies. The most prominent moves involved the usual neutral Group 1 trying to persuade and sway others, while Group 5, which had connections to Jo Yi-shin through Hwang Ho and Baek Ho, focused on keeping their enemies in check.
The internal conflict, fueled by temporary, factional scheming, seemed like it could drag on for a while. However, two key factors led to a resolution.
One of these factors was an outside force, which had joined the fray, declaring their intention to run for class president alongside Jo Yi-shin.
"A senior who just graduated contacted us and asked about the registration process for the class president position."
"That must be Woo Gi-hwan, right?"
"Yes, he said he was frustrated about losing to Yi-shin and Baek Ho, and now he wants to win the class president position."
"What? It was Baek Ho's fault?"
