I just want to be a normal student! ⚔️

Chapter 31- The other side of those you don't know ⚔️

BANG!

The council office door burst opened.

As anxious as it looked, the brown-haired breathlessly rushed into the room.

He might be unfamiliar to outsiders in this office, but Alberu and other council members knew him quite well.

"Chester."

The blonde called out the supposed calm and collected classmate of his. He was one of those who strongly supported and assisted Alberu and the council. He's currently unaffiliated to any clubs for some unknown reasons.

[A/N. Yup, he's an archivist of crown prince Alberu in side story 3 of the original novel.]

"What's—"

'What's wrong?'

For a cool-headed person like him to act like this, Alberu was worried that something might happen.

"T-there's a big trouble, president-nim!" Sweats was seen all over the speaker. He tried to wipe it off but, it still fell down as if it were some kinds of streamflows. "On the way to the classroom, I've heard something unbelievable! I know president-nim wouldn't do something like this but...!"

"Chester." The prez cut him off.

A lot of things happened during the discussion today. So, some more would still be doable, right..?

"Calm down and get to the point."

At a time like this, Alberu switched to his prez mode. Composure is needed when dealing with time. Rushing things would only make it so difficult.

Cale, the Chois, Lee Soo Hyuk, Fredo, Park Jin Tae and Lee Chul Min were all here. They are ready to listen to this suddenly-appeared person.

Chester opened his mouth. Troubles started to flow out.

"The deputy principal office, president-nim. Lots of students showed up and claimed that they've heard rumours about the council opening up the applications to recruit a new member."

It was the information about Cale going to join the council.

Alberu and others had operated the plan carefully to have Cale registered as a council member later in the deputy principal office.

However.. someone leaked that information out?

Everyone inside the room are all tensed, excluding Cale.

Of course, there's no way a transferred student like him could understand the current situation.

"So what if they knew that you guys opened up the recruitment?"

Cale was curious. It's not like the news of him joining the council would be kept as a secret forever. He meant he didn't want to stand out with them knowing too! But they'd bound to get out at some points before the upcoming selection anyway, so why bother hiding it?

"Something bad is happening, Cale-nim."

"There's more to what you think, Rok Soo."

Choi Han and Lee Soo Hyuk were the first one to reply.

And, Alberu would explain the situation to him.

"The selection, Cale.

Do you think it's fair to recruit new members right when the selection is about to start?"

"Why not fair? It depends on those clubs' ability. They're all free to find someone like a former top student me to help their groups......."

A former top student.
