章 48: 1/4 quarter student representative meeting (1)
When the news of Yu Sang-hui's death in the battle came…
The members of the Student Council denied it, saying there is no way.
However after they checked the video sent by the students of the Broadcasting Club, who acted as the communication corps, they shut their mouths.
The 3rd year executives and one 1st year, who saw the same video, passed out on the spot.
[Crazy bitch… I said you're going to die a dog death, I knew it. Why did you have to follow your younger brother till here? You're really the worst bitch. Evil bitch.]
The Guideline Club president, Oh Hyeji, who had usually the worst relationship with Yu Sang-hui, was wailing bitterly.
Even the injured, who were laying on the floor, curled up their bodies and wept quietly.
After the news of Wings Club annihilation, nothing but bad news was coming.
[If we endure twenty hours, the support from the Association will come. Let's do what we have to do.]
[To Wonu, you crazy bastard! Sang-hui is dead, but 'have to do'? And what would that 'have to do' be?!]
[Rest for two hours and then replace the guys on the front. So resting it is.]
The Student Council president, To Wonu, calmly gave commands and then turned to go outside.
Following To Wonu, the Student Council vice president, Ji Myeongsu, blocked his way forward.
[Where.]
At that moment, the focus was on Ji Myeongsu's face.
To Wonu's expression couldn't be seen.
[For Sang-hui.]
Ji Myeongsu couldn't stop To Wonu.
And To Wonu disappeared at the end of the dark corridor.
After some time, he returned with Yu Sang-hui wrapped in a curtain cloth.
It was the last scene in which she was mentioned in the game.
And now, in the present.
"Future family? I have no idea what you're talking about, Wonu. Nothing besides the 'fut' part is correct. Because you're like an ugly 'foot'.[1]"
Yu Sang-hui dealt insta damage with a voice warm like a blow of spring breeze.
To Wonu didn't succumb.
"You forget about 'family' after it, Yu Sang-hui. Such small things make you look even lovelier…"
Puk!
Yu Sang-hui's Vital Point Strike hit again.
Thinking about To Wonu's physical abilities, he could avoid this level of attack, but he took the beating with a wide smile.
Though even smiling, his expression revealed intense pain.
I don't think he is like this because he likes pain.
To Wonu, is that true love?
But I didn't know what Yu Sang-hui thought about this, so it was ambiguous to support.
"Ha, haha….! It's okay, Sang-hui. I can take it all!"
Yu Sang-hun's face was contorted.
Was the reason why he hated coming to the student representative meetings To Wonu?
"Why did he not change even when he got older?"
"… Has he been like this since he was a kid?"
"Uh."
Yu Sang-hun briefly explained To Wonu's ill-fated relationship.
From a young age, Yu Sang-hui's rare healing ability drew attention.
She received a scholarship and attended a supernatural center. And in that place, she met To Wonu.
He has behaved like this since his days as an elementary student, but it was said that it was difficult to cleanly cut the relationship, because there were exchanges between families.
"Uisin, I'm really sorry. How could have someone like this been selected as a Student Council president… Is your shoulder fine? You can hit him one…No, hit him as much as you want. Hard."
"Sang-hui, I'll get beaten up if you use your hand in exchange!"
"Start with apologizing to Uisin. That's disgusting."
At those words, To Wonu, who continued to smile with mad energy, took upon a serious face for the first time as he looked at me.
It was an expression saying he would rather die.
No way, my Playable Character can't be so unsightly!
However, this was reality.
"…So…rry."
The voice was so quiet I barely heard it.
If he wasn't my Playable Character, I wouldn't look at him twice.
And Yu Sang-hui and Yu Sang-hun already gave him a taste of their fists.
"It's fine."
At my answer, Yu Sang-hui smiled brightly.
"Our Uisin is much more mature!"
"Our… Uisin?"
Yu Sang-hui added fuel to the fire.
To Wonu was mumbling something, but Yu Sang-hui didn't seem to have any thoughts of feeding him more.
Ban on feeding, silent treatment.
It was the best way for wiping out attention seekers.
"Let's go, kids. This is the 1st years' first student representative meeting. I'll guide you to the place."
Yu Sang-hui led the 1st years to the meeting room A.
Left behind by Yu Sang-hui, loser To Wonu was a childish man.
"…Hahahahaha! Ah, ahahahahahaha! To Wonu fucked up! Better watch out for Unknown Supernova. Hahahaha!"
To Wonu had a face as if he lost everything.
And the one who saw To Wonu like this and couldn't catch his breath from laughing was the Student Council vice president, Ji Myeongsu.
The two of them were Playable Characters.
Those are my Playable Characters' true characters?
C'est la vie.[2]
The sense of futility surged.
*** Terraced meeting room with 300 seats.
At the front, the seats of the meeting's chairman and Student Council members were arranged.
Above the meeting's chairman seat hung Eungwang School's flag which I estimated was embroidered by hand.
'It's at the forefront.'
I sat down in the seat Yu Sang-hui guided me to.
The seats were arranged so that each year class 0 was at the very forefront and the classes from 1 to 10 were behind them, sitting in a numerical order.
Almost all students were sitting in their marked seats.
The only empty seats were seats of 2nd year and 3rd year class 0.
'All other seats are filled, but as expected, it's worthy of class 0. Though I wanted to meet with 2nd year class 0 today…'
The meeting had yet to start and the sounds of conversations were heard everywhere.
"Junyeol came today…! How exciting."
"He is in the Student Council. And a candidate for the next Student Council president."
"Ma Jinseung's expression is more like a frog. Is it because of Junyeol?… Is he still a self-proclaimed rival set on fire?"
"3rd year class 0 executives still aren't here? They are very punctual with meetings."
"The entire 3rd year class 0 is going to feel the energy of the Universe today. They don't plan on coming."
"They floated a public garden in the central zone on April Fool's Day and then the Universe or something struck them insane? Something like this again?"
"They felt the FORCE in the central zone."
"… Because insane those humans are."
What was that? What was the 3rd year class 0 doing?
Universe…
What are you going to do after feeling that?
The moment when I heard those words and unconsciously looked up at the ceiling…
'What?! That!'
I discovered a man and a woman in gym clothes stuck to the ceiling between the ceiling lights.
My and the pair's eyes met.
They desperately moved their hands and feet to send me a signal to stay shut.
'What do you want to do?"
I didn't know what they were about to do, but I hated to get involved.
I was going to stay shut according to the two's wishes.
But there was one unsightly person in the chairman's seat, which I felt sorry for, staring at me as if I was his archenemy .
Following my gaze, To Wonu looked at the ceiling and discovered the two people, his eyes narrowed.
"Come down."
His voice carried a faint pressure.
The aura which made it hard to disobey was held in a bit stern expression.
'This is the appearance of the Student Council president, To Wonu, I remember from the game.'
It looked like his out-of-mind appearance was limited to matters related to Yu Sang-hui.
At his words, all of the students' gazes turned towards the ceiling and then discovered the man and woman.
"Aau, really!"
"Ruined!"
I had no idea what they were planning to do, but it appeared to fail.
The two made a splendid landing at the tables of the empty 2nd year seats.
Pop-pop-pop!
[2nd year class 0 president, Geum Chansol appeared!]
[2nd year class 0 vice president, Wang Chansol appeared!]
The banners unfolded with the sound of exploding firecrackers.
Colorful and childish colors and designs.
The ignorant designs of the banners completely failed to consider a sense of aesthetic and concentrated only on being flashy.
I guess they stuck to the ceiling to appear with that.
'…They're the 2nd year class 0 executives?!'
Looking at the banners' positions, the class president was the woman, Geun Chansol.
The vice president appeared to be the man, Wang Chansol.
The surnames were different, but their names were the same.
And they were also the class president and vice president of the 2nd year class 0 which gathered the strongest and the worst rascals?
Those two were a fated duo.
"Student Council president messed everything up! The main characters should always appear last! Isn't that right, Geun-Chan[3]?"
"You're right. We were planning an absolutely stylish entrance worthy of the main characters! I almost died to conceal myself… Wang-Chan… This is all because you forgot the invisibility items!"
"Geun-Chan, I can forget a bit and still pull it off. What are you nitpicking? But where is 3rd year class 0? Are they not coming?"
"I guess after they got one year older, they went senile, so they are late."
Rest assured, you were the very last to come.
Because 3rd year class 0 is going to feel the energy of the Universe, so they're going to be absent.
"Ha, one hour of sticking to the ceiling… A failure."
One way to waste an hour of my life acquired.
The 1st years watched this situation with their mouths wide open, while the 2nd and 3rd years didn't pay them any particular attention as if they were already familiar with the situation.
"…It seems that all the people that would come, came. As besides the two people from the 3rd year class 0, all people called are present, so we have a quorum."
To Wonu in the chairman's seat straightened and said:
"The 1/4 quarter student representative meeting starts now."
To Wonu made a short opening speech.
The simple procedure was completed with a national pledge.
'Now the student representative meeting will start.'
The president of the Guideline Club was decided by the members of the Guideline Club.
The Wings Club president was selected through the votes of the dormitory students.
The president of the General Club Council was elected from among the presidents of all clubs and small groups.
And the Student Council president was selected in the election participated by all students.
Among the four, the one representing the students the most was the Student Council president.
So the Student Council president took upon the role of the chairman of the student representative meeting and the Student Council led the meeting.
'It's proceeding neatly.'
As expected from my Playable Characters.
That chaos of a 12 Zodiac Alliance Meeting couldn't compare.
'… Let's ignore the chairman's ugly appearance I saw outside.'
Thinking like this, I concentrated on the meeting.
The Student Council finished their report and then it continued to each class' management details and self-examination as well as announcements about their plans.
The management materials delivered beforehand by the class executives were summarized on a big hologram in the center and on a small hologram before each table.
There were no strange matters, but the 2nd and 3rd year class 0's records were filled with big and small incidents.
'2nd and 3rd years have it hard, huh?'
After class executives' reports ended, the currently planned and in the progress events were summarized.
Invitations to performance events on various anniversaries in the Third Sacred Terrestrial Branch Hall.
Assessment of the school environment's beautification.
Outings and field classes for each grade.
Academic and thesis studies meetings.
Selection of the exemplary class and exemplary student ceremony.
Youth retreat.
Free university applications workshop, etc.
'Yu Sang-hun said that the Student Council has a lot of work for a reason.'
There were quite a few annual events, but even when referring to the tradition of those, all the planning, budget squeezing and then execution, gave me a headache.
However the Student Council pulled that difficult task off, while studying and conquesting otherworlds.
The Student Council president, To Wonu, was charts' permanent 1st place and Yu Sang-hui also had a description of never dropping out of the top 10.
"Next, please watch the Guideline Club presentation."
The Guideline Club's report was finished quickly.
The Eungwang School's Guideline Club's key activity was surveillance over the other student organizations and keeping them in check, so their workload was smaller.
Because Wings Club and General Club Council were each busy managing dormitories and clubs, so they had no time for surveillance and preventing abuse of power.
After the Guideline Club president's, Oh Hyeji's, activity report was Wings Club president's, Seong Siwan's, report and then at last was the report of the General Club Council president.
'General Club Council's presentation is the longest.'
There were many clubs and small groups, so I guess every club and small group had their presentation and it seemed that they were struggling with schedule adjustments, securing venues and budget allocation.
Music related clubs often collaborated, so they could come to simple agreements as they were close, but there were many many places where that wasn't the case.
'Go Club, Janggi[4] Small Group, Chess Small Group. The schedules for the meetings hosted by each one of them…'
On the opened hologram of summarized clubs information, a name caught my eye.
'Was Yong Jegeon the advisor of the Chess Small Group?'
Teacher Yong Jegeon was really a Game category Yong tribe member.
I was aware he was the advisor of a small group, but it's the first time I hear it was the Chess Small Group.
From among that many small groups, the key Playable Character was an advisor of the Chess Small Group?
"Uisin?"
"Uh?"
"Your expression doesn't look good. Are you sick?"
"No, it's okay."
Kim Yuri asked out of worry in a quiet voice.
Korea was a chess wasteland.
I stopped playing chess as a middle schooler, and then I avoided it as much as I could avoid it, but in this world it was different.
'I can't leave a weakness.'
I saved the schedule of the chess meetings hosted by the Chess Small Group on the device.
Q&A session, discussion of other key agendas, suggestions and then after finishing with the recitation of the meeting record, the student representative meeting was safely closed.
***
At the 1/4 quarter student representative meeting I confirmed the progress of the event.
And I saw the key characters I wanted in the flesh.
I also met with the people I had to come into contact with.
"Why did Unknown Supernova call us?"
"He is a guy from the 1st year class 0 famous for being quiet. So it has to be to play like class 0!"
"You want to learn how to be like us? 10 years too early! Raise the attendance rate and then come, greenhorn!"
2nd year class 0 president, Geun Chansol.
2nd year class 0 vice president, Wang Chansol.
The 2nd year class 0 didn't appear directly in the game.
However, according to descriptions of the indirect appearances, the president and vice president took the lead in the majority of jokes.
If I want to move the class 0, I have to talk to those guys first.
"I have a favor to ask."
At my words, Geun Chansol and Wang Chansol glanced at each other and then started whispering something.
I don't think there was a blood relation between them, but their names were the same, so they strongly resembled each other.
Then they pursed their lips while saying.
"We're expensive."
"Yeah. What if you don't have enough money? In any case, you can earn money in the otherworlds, so go get it."
"Listen to us or not."
It would be okay even if I didn't have money.
Because this matter was related to something that 2nd year class 0 cherished much more than money.
"It's about teacher Jegal Jaegeol-nim."
*~*~*
[1] Nothing besides the 'fut' part is correct. Because you're like an ugly 'foot'. — Okay, so the joke in raws is that '가족' means 'family' in Korean, but '족' can mean 'foot', usually referring to animal feet, mainly animal with hooves, but if referred to human feets, it's quite disparaging.
[2] C'est la vie – Raws don't use french here. The word used here means: 'life is futile and meaningless', but as it's an exclamation, this translator couldn't find anything better.
[3] Geun-Chan – They use their surnames and first parts of their names to refer to each other. So it's Geun-Chan (Geun Chansol) and Wang-Chan (Wang Chansol). It has nothing to do with japanese.
[4] Janggi – Korean chess, closely resembles xiangqi (Chinese chess) if that tells you anything. In a way, it is the same type of strategic game as Western chess, but the board is different and the pieces move very differently, they also have Blue (or Green) and Red colors.
Translator's note: Imagine how bad Jo Uisin's expression must be when he was thinking about chess for Kim Yuri to ask him if he is sick…
