Life, Once Again!

to his cold expression and his large physique.
He could tell just by looking at the way the boy moved, the boy’s chin was wide open.
Maru sidestepped left and tripped Geunseok, who flopped right down to the ground with a bang.
“Ugh, what an ass.
Hey guys, take care of Geunseok for me.
He’s not a bad kid, but he has a bit of an inferiority complex.
Got it?” Maru didn’t want to further complicate things, he wanted to keep the class thinking that this was just an amusing event.
Geunseok slowly got up and tried to leave the class.
The boy came back though, once Maru mentioned “don’t you still need to clean up?” Maru noticed tears streaming down on the boy’s face.
“What the, is he crying?” “Hey, Geunseok, you crying?” The other students approached the boy with a smile, Maru gave Daemyung a slight glance.
This was good enough, he wasn’t trying to ruin the boy.
“What was that call from earlier? Why’s he like that?” “Oh, that? Probably just a word or two from Mr.
Junmin.” “What?” “Probably something like, ‘the contract is over’ or something?” “Really?” Maru nodded.
They say people are all equal, but that really wasn’t the case.
People received preferential treatment based on talent, this was the same when it came to using people.
You’re a novice if you end up using people and having their hatred directed towards you.
An intermediate if you form a decent relationship afterwards.
A pro if they stay desperate towards you even after knowing that you used them.
Geunseok knew how to make bad blood between his friends and Maru, but he wasn’t subtle about it.
It was odd saying that something like this could be “subtle” at all, but there was definitely a difference depending on the method.
Geunseok was stupid.
Rather, he was immature.
He played with an adult mindset in a children’s game, he must’ve thought everyone would believe the rumors he spread.
That was his mistake.
An adult would’ve calculated sticking to who would be better for them, but kids weren’t like that at all.
At their age, rumors came and went as easily as the wind.
That wasn’t to say Geunseok didn’t have friends anymore.
But at least at this moment, his friends would distance themselves from him.
Maru turned around to look back at the class, Geunseok was standing dumbly in the corner while the other students were cleaning.
That was exactly what it was, the girls who were so close to Geunseok just a second ago were distancing themselves, out of the fear that they’d be laughed at along with him.
If this was at a company, things wouldn’t have ended like this.
There were actual lives at stake there, people didn’t just distance themselves from others just because they were afraid of being made fun of.
‘At the height of all this are politicians.’ Politicians don’t stay in politics despite having done crimes because they’re stupid, this was a war for them.
To them, what’s good or bad doesn’t matter.
All that matters to them is profit.
In the end, this was just a children’s game, Geunseok should’ve used a strategy befitting that.
“I wonder if things will get quiet now.” “Maybe?” “Phew, that’s a relief.” “Relief my ass.
We still only have four members.
You need to try hard.
Our deadline’s Saturday.
Past that, we’ll really have to do this with four people.” “G-got it.” “Don’t advertise like that dude over there, though.” “Yup.” Maru stepped back into his class with a stretch.
Dojin demanded an explanation from him, but Maru chose to ignore him.
“Don’t smoke, and if you get caught playing pool… Well, whoever loses in a match with me will have to pay, so just be aware of that.” Taesik ended the class with a smile, Maru approached the man to give him a short rundown of what happened.
“You should’ve been more gentle.” “I heard that it’s preferred to cut off seedlings of misshapen growth.” Taesik shook his head.
“Do you think you’ll find more members?” “That’s the real issue.
Do you have any ideas?” “Nope, nothing.” “Don’t you feel a sense of responsibility as an advisor?” “You’re poking me where it hurts.
I’m advertising a bit whenever I can, so hopefully, we get someone by Saturday.” “We just need up to ten.
That’d be better than four at the very least.” “What if no one comes at all?” “We’ll seriously have to consider doing two roles at once.” Though Maru didn’t know if they could even do that.
Taesik left the class wishing him good luck.
“Maru, let’s go to the clubroom.” “Yup.” There was a disgusting amount of work to do, despite the fact that they had so few members.
