“I got a call from In-Ah saying that she is taking a break again today because she is sick. It’s almost time for the test, so take good care of yourselves, and also the kidnapping! The kidnapping case. I always say this, but be careful because another person is said to have gone missing due to abduction this time—”

Ye-Jin's homeroom class was longer than usual today. As can be seen from the word ‘again today,’ In-Ah had not come to school for the past two days.

I texted her and even called her yesterday, but she never replied. She seemed to be in contact with Ye-Jin, so it didn't seem like she was unable to respond. So that meant that she was intentionally avoiding contact with us, but I couldn't figure out why.

“—As you all know, the Holy Name of Charity has been vacant due to an unfortunate incident, so there will be a re-election exam soon! We plan to select candidates based on test scores and daily conduct. An exact schedule has not been set yet, but keep it in mind for now. Have a nice day then~”

After saying all that, Ye-Jin left the classroom. Jun-Hyuk slept the whole time in homeroom and woke up while doing stretches the moment Ye-Jin left. He then stumbled toward me with unsteady steps.

“What did the teacher say? I didn’t hear it because I was sleeping."

Jun-Hyuk would always sleep during homeroom, so he would always miss out on the announcements.

“The kidnapping case and the re-election of the Holy Name of Charity.”

“Re-elected? Or are they going to re-elect?”

“They are going to re-elect. They are going to take the test results and the candidate’s usual conduct into consideration.”

"Aha. Huh?" Although Jun-Hyuk had been yawning and nodding his head as if he didn’t have a care in the world, he suddenly muttered in confusion.

“They will take the candidate’s usual behavior into consideration?...
