When I went through the embarrassment of being unable to be a good pre-candidate, no one signed up for the same position in the Reds' wing.
They were all very unmotivated, that defeat of every year was seen again even though there was still a week to go before the real elections began.
Professor Klein was sitting next to Eugeo, who was already the definitive candidate, and Kirito, who would be his campaign advisor.
-All right, guys...we may not have created the best first impression for our militants, but that's no reason to get discouraged, is it?
-Damn it, my name will be on the wall of losers. -Cried Eugene, who had his face hidden in his arms. He was bent over looking at the table where he was sitting.
"The wall of the losers" was a wall where the names of the candidates of the Reds who had lost the committee elections twenty-four years ago, practically those of Professor Klein, were put. It was as if when Klein was born, the Reds were instantly condemned to lose forever.
-Don't you dare say that, boy, where's your samurai pride? -Klein asked, taking Eugeo's shoulders.
-I think he stayed home, professor. -He answered.
-I won't write my name on that damn fucking wall a third time, you too!- Klein pointed a finger at Kirito. -You better have some good ideas or I'll take you to a supplemental exam right now!
-Hey, you're taking this thing too seriously, Professor Klein, give me a few minutes to think!
-Then you've got ten minutes to think, you son of a bitch, or you'll be flunking out for the rest of the year!
Now Kirito was in trouble... as much as he thought he couldn't come up with a good idea. He was going through the underlined political books of the past years to find some ideas. Klein was counting the hands of the clock on the remaining time and Eugeo...he was still moaning in his place.
-You have thirty seconds! -Klein took his pen and uncovered it to put it in Kirito's name.
-This is ridiculous, it's not my fault you're frustrated with the election because you always lose!
-Now you've got ten seconds!
-Oh, my God, why have you abandoned me?!
-Ten, nine, eight, seven...!
-Pro-propaganda! (Or blurb, I'm not sure what the correct definition is). -Screamed Kirito. -Pro-propaganda will do!
-Well thought out...You're a genius. All right Eugeo, you'd better get up, you have a speech to make today.
-I don't want to... I feel useless.
-You already are, so don't complain about it.
The person who made the speeches was Yuuki because of his good writing skills. She had written what she considered the best of the reds speech in the twenty-four years that it was founded.
Klein read it with some anxiety. He made some faces of acceptance, some of disgust, and some of surprise for evil.
Eventually he returned the speech to Yuuki, but more than eighty percent of it had been modified. There were many bad parts.
-All right Yuuki, it's not terrible, but you keep saying that radicalism is the best thing, that we're the best option, that's something that's already known, right? You must destroy your enemy in nine out of ten pages of speech. You're a woman so you can make up rumors that conservative pre-candidates are... unfit for office.
-I understand... I think I can do something about that. You leave everything to me. -Yuuki winked, stuck out her tongue and put her thumb up.
It just so happens that the strongest conservative candidate was Eiji, who was in first place in the conservative wing election. Behind him was Alice, who was very talkative and pretty.
