It didn’t take long for rumors of Delphina’s candidacy to be the student council president to spread.

In the first place, it was an exceptionally long time since the fact that a first grader was running for office.

Three seniors who write letters of recommendation for themselves within a month of admission.

Excluding his own, it was not easy for the first year to find two top supporters.

Of course, one of the people who wrote the recommendation was a family member and the other was an acquaintance of the family.

It was going to take some time for the truth to settle down anyway, so until then we just had to wait for the rumors to spread freely.

Because the worst thing that happens during the election is indifference, not criticism and criticism.

He had to draw attention somehow so that he would have a chance to explain whether his campaign promises were good or bad.

So, all we can do for Delphina is to bring as much spotlight as possible to her.

It was up to Delphina to turn that into a positive response to herself.

The Delphina I knew was a kid who did that better than anyone else.

Fortunately, supporters friendly to Delfina appeared soon after starting the campaign, and her sister was able to continue the campaign with a small amount of support from some groups.

“That’s why we promise to give everyone equal opportunities and lead the academy without injustice!”

“Wow!”

“Delphina! Delfina!”

Delphina’s speech was so eloquent that when I listened to it still, I sometimes felt like I was touched by Delphina’s speech.

Sometimes, from the point of view of aristocrats, they express their reverse discrimination, and sometimes, from the position of commoners, they appeal for insufficient support.

Delphina appeared to represent her pledge by revealing her free views between nobles and commoners.

It was a strategy that was possible because she was a viscount daughter who was a mediocre aristocrat.

Besides, less than two days after the election started, two people who dared to be called big players were participating in Delfina’s election camp.

The chief freshman of the swordsmanship department, the lady of Marshal Hilla Warburg.

Jonny Winte, head of freshmen at the Department of Pensions and the next president of the Wintemire Company.

Where else could he have been able to recruit such people with the network he had built up within a month of entering the school?

Once again, Delphina’s ability to form human relationships was amazing.

The Lady of Marshal Hilla Warburg, a symbol of aristocratic class, and Johnny Winte, a symbol of commoner class, were simultaneously nominated.

The promise of Delfina also increased the reliability and feasibility.

It was a bonus that the organized group under the two of them started working for Delphina.

At least as far as the election campaign goes, it seems I don’t need to get further involved.

After making that judgment, I moved a little faster to form an additional foundation to support Delfina.

I had to somehow make Delphina the most talked-about person until the first public opinion poll was announced in a week.

* * *

Of course, it was impossible to draw the attention of the academy students to his sister on his own.

I couldn’t go around telling each student to vote for Delphina, and forming public opinion wasn’t done that way in the first place.

Rather than that, a remark by a sufficiently influential figure or a special event that could improve the candidate’s image was needed.

Alexandros Academy’s student body president election was the least enjoyable entertainment in this boring space.

Unless he was a person who had no intention of anything other than learning, there was no way he would not pay attention to the biggest topic of the quarter, big or small.

It was reasonable to create a rational reason to support Delphina, so as not to let their interest stop with mere curiosity.

The reason why a person named Delfina who does not stop at simply liking the pledge or humanity has a real chance of being elected.

Today wasn’t the day they planned to go out, but at the discretion of the party leader, they hurriedly summoned other colleagues.

It was purely because of my personal greed, so I apologized to everyone and opened my mouth at the same time.

“I’m sorry, but today I called everyone for a slightly different reason, not because of hunting activities or hunting festival plans.”

Everyone must have had a busy daily life, so it might feel annoying to spend time on my personal circumstances.

“It’s really of no use to you guys, and I’m calling you to get help in resolving my personal greed. If you don’t like the story, it’s okay if you don’t help me.”

As for a group, dissatisfaction would arise from any member of the group if it did not move according to the reason for its formation in the first place.

Therefore, I plan to ask those who called today not as the leader of the hunting party, but as the senior, motive, and junior of the three people.

“Please do not hesitate to ask! If it’s Conrad-senpai’s words, I’ll try swinging a sword in the fire!”

“I wouldn’t ask you to do that, but thank you for saying that anyway.”

“I, too, will do whatever Konrad tells me to do, so don’t be alarmed and say whatever you want to say.”

“Thank you, Lulu. If it were you, I would have said something like that.”

“I will try to give you the same answer as the two of you. Because I think I know a little bit about why Conrad juniors called him.”

“Thank you, Senior Xian.”

Fortunately, it seemed that the three of them were already determined to listen to my story even before they heard it.

In addition, Senior Xian, who was quick-witted, seemed to already know the circumstances of how I gathered everyone here.

Not too long ago, he wrote Delphina’s letter of recommendation himself, so he must have noticed that.

“The reason we gathered you all here today is because of Delfina’s student council president election.”

“Yeah? Student president election?”

“Oh, is that?”

“As expected.”

Different reactions came from Stella, Lulu, and senior Xian.

“For now, if you evaluate her calmly, Delfina will 100% fail if you leave it as it is.”

Although she is my sister, she still needed an objective evaluation.

Only then can we explain why we need to gather now and act to improve it.

“Yeah? If it’s Miss Delphina, don’t you still form some supporters now? At this rate, I think we can aim for a reversal by the day of the election.”

“That too is a story when it flows ideally. Because the actual approval rating doesn’t just go up that simply.”

If someone’s approval rating draws an upward curve, it means that someone else loses that much.

In other words, it was a story that the approval ratings would remain stagnant for a while after the middle power was shared unless there were conspicuous mistakes that would cause the approval rating to drop.

That’s why when you look at the size of the support that Delphina has absorbed so far.

It was after I put down my own evaluation that it would be perfect to fail at this rate.

“My thoughts are the same. I also looked through the supporters of other election candidates, including Delfina, and I think they are probably in the 3rd or 4th place by now.”

“It’s a halfway ranking.”

As Xian-senpai said, the ranking is in the middle.

Since there are eight candidates, it can be said that it is in the upper ranks, but in the end, an election is not a ranking, but a fight to determine the first place.

Whether it’s a ten-vote difference or a three-hundred-vote difference with the winner. 1st place takes everything and 2nd place gets nothing.

That was the election for the student council president of Alexandros Academy.

“First of all, I’ll explain why we need to increase Delphina’s approval rating right now.”

Although I may have less knowledge about politics than Delphina, I was confident that I knew better than my sister about the specifics of the academy student president election.

Unlike actual political positions, where positions and titles are assigned according to the appointment of the emperor, the academy’s student president was specially appointed as an elected position.

Some students might be able to rise to high-ranking positions, but most of the students would be employed in mercenaries, magic towers, hunting guilds, etc. with the skills they learned at the academy.

It was an election method that seemed to invite them to experience in advance how to select a common leader in such a place.

Above all, if the principal directly appointed the student council president, a controversy over equity could have arisen.

Anyway, in the student president election, which is done by regulating all students’ voting rights with one vote, one unusual phenomenon used to occur in almost every round.

At first, the supporters who were fairly evenly distributed among all candidates tended to concentrate on the top candidates as the election period lengthened.

In a way, it was a natural phenomenon.

At first glance, the election for student president may seem like a competition for the majority, but the atmosphere I actually felt was always a little different from that.

No matter how many candidates the first election started, supporters were bound to move to the top candidates after some direction was set.

All voters want to produce meaningful results with one vote they cast.

A vote thrown to a candidate with no chance of winning had no effect at least on the election results.

That’s why he showed a movement to change the candidate for support to a more meaningful one before his vote degenerated into a worthless piece of paper.

In particular, as soon as the results of the polls of the ‘press club’, which collects and collects news from the academy, are announced, the concentration of voting rights becomes especially clear.

An extreme polarization was taking place between two or three candidates with an approval rating of 15% or more and those with single-digit approval ratings.

The top candidate shares the approval rating of the bottom candidate, and the power of the bottom candidate disappears or disintegrates without rumor, losing their approval rating.

The pattern of this election was also going to go the same way. Unless some miracle happens.

“Then, in order for Ms. Delphina to be elected, do we need to raise the approval rating to over 15% by the date the poll results are announced?”

“Aren’t you okay? Delphina is still doing well in election campaigns. I’ve seen speeches by various candidates once or twice, but looking at the atmosphere, it seems like I’ll be at least in the top three before the polls.”

“With a letter of recommendation from junior Conrad, most of the students from the Ministry of Magic support our junior Delphina. Because of my letter of recommendation, most of the upperclassmen in the archery club also made up their minds to Delphina’s juniors.

I also think that the approval rating of about 20% has already been formed.”

At first glance, it sounded optimistic.

Even if you can only rank 3rd in the polls, you will be on the side of absorbing votes instead of losing them.

The problem was that the moment he got the third place in the opinion poll of the press club, he had no choice but to stay in the third place until the last minute of the election.

“no. We have to somehow raise Delfina’s approval rating to second place within a week before the press club’s poll results are announced.”

Regardless of whether the approval rating of 15% or more results in a 3-way or 4-way structure, in the end, the student body president election flows in one direction according to the existing rules.

1st and 2nd Yanggang District. The rest are just holding on to the lifeline for a little longer.

In the end, all of the third place approval ratings would be divided and absorbed by the first and second places by those who did not want their votes to be resigned.

Unless a really dramatic event happened, there was no case where votes from second place or higher flowed into third place.

After hearing the explanation, the three nodded as if they understood.

“As Conrad said, it certainly seems so. The elections last year and the year before last went almost like this.”

“It’s a bit hesitant to vote for a person who I think will fall in silence.”

“Then what should we do from now on?”

“I will explain to you one by one from now on.”

There were only two weeks left until the election day when Delfina became the student council president.
