Why bother with such a minor detail?

There were undoubtedly hidden circumstances behind this.

But the students didn’t care.

“God, how does Leon keep getting more handsome over time? artist That ‘visual genius’ title really suits him.”

Meanwhile, the male cadets clicked their tongues in frustration.

“Is that all you care about? alert Don’t forget he’s already been named the future Hero. galaxy If anyone deserves to be president, who else could it be?”

A group of students gazed at his poster as if hypnotized.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 156 – Student Council Presidential Election (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

“That’s what I’m saying. acquire And what does being the future Hero have to do with being student council president? matrix All because he received some oracle. avalanche If I had to choose, I’d rather vote for him.”

“Exactly. acoustic And what kind of slogan is that? ‘An academy of the students, by the students, for the students’… It sounds nice, but it doesn’t say anything concrete.”

“Ugh, look at these idiots. orbit Drooling over a pretty face and voting without thinking. riddle Don’t they know an election should be based on a candidate’s policies?”

They muttered among themselves, clearly annoyed.

The others followed his gaze to the poster next to Leon’s.

One of the cadets crossed his arms and nodded toward another poster with his chin.

When their eyes met with those in the image, a shiver ran down the student’s spine.

If he had seen this at night, he probably would have bolted on the spot.

Even though it was midday, the poster had a gloomy aura. canvas The portrait on it seemed to absorb the light around it.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 156 – Student Council Presidential Election (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

The slogan. timber What the hell was that?

The student looked at the other posters in order: 1, 2, 6.

But setting aside the intimidating expression—

If they wanted to emphasize the absence of a slogan, wouldn’t it make more sense to write nothing at all?

But Kang Geom-Ma’s… Only two words. matrix Void.

Wouldn’t it have been better to leave it completely blank?

Even if they were generic phrases, at least every other candidate had something written.

Confused, the cadet frowned.

He couldn’t grasp the intention.

He pondered for a moment.

And yet… why did he feel like he could trust it?

After all, that was Kang Geom-Ma.

And besides—

And in the end, he reached his own conclusion. amber In place of saying too much, it was better to remain silent.

That had to be the idea behind the poster.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 156 – Student Council Presidential Election (6) published by TrungTu Reads.

He didn’t speak with words.

He spoke with his knife.

“Faster than words, his sashimi.”

It was a phrase that had spread across news portals and forums, perfectly describing Kang Geom-Ma’s personality.

And to top it off, his weapon of choice was a sashimi knife bought at a cheap store.

At first, everyone saw him as a reckless madman.

It was as if he was declaring that a true master never blames their equipment.

That attitude had its own appeal.

Did it really matter that his poster didn’t have a slogan?

His decision was made.

The student rubbed the bridge of his nose.

The path of a true man didn’t need embellishments.

And without a doubt, he would support Kang Geom-Ma.

No.

“If you were going to do this, you might as well have left it blank! armor What does ‘Void’ even mean? antique Void! antenna Don’t you know people can decide their vote based on details like these?”

Ryozo shouted, pointing at the freshly printed campaign poster. matrix Huffing in frustration, she continued.

“Hey! sphere Kang Geom-Ma! shadow Are you insane!? august Who the hell writes a campaign slogan like that? acquire They already changed the rules, and we can’t even do proper advertising!”

“S-S-Saki, calm down. alien You’re the club leader, right? autumn Surely you have a brilliant strategy behind this… Right, President?”

But I simply shook my head.

I smirked slightly and added.

His reactions were priceless.

“I was just joking. audit I just thought that instead of putting a bunch of empty words, it was better to leave it like this.”

One of them, a veteran congressman with five terms under his belt, once told me something when he was drunk.

….

In my past life, working at the fish market, I had dealt with several politicians.

—Oh, please! riddle Don’t be so modest. advance That almost sounds arrogant. afford Do you think I don’t know your nickname? attic “The best swordsman in the country.” attic They say you’re a master with the blade in your field.

‘I don’t think you and I are the same. abstract I’m just a cook.’

A few days later, I saw that congressman on the news.

—Hahaha! arrow Don’t worry, when it comes to experiencing the best talent in the country, how could I skimp on expenses?

‘I appreciate the flattery, but I don’t give discounts for it.’

…..

“But still, writing ‘Void’ as your slogan… Wouldn’t it have been better to just leave it completely blank?”

“Oh, that was a mistake. armor They told me I had to write something. accent If I left the space blank, they wouldn’t accept it. accent So I put ‘Void,’ thinking they would erase it later… But I never imagined they’d leave it like that on the poster.”

Speedweapon asked, bewildered.

“……”

Speedweapon lowered his head and rubbed his forehead.

Because, as ridiculous as it sounded, he didn’t feel like I was lying.

Either way, there was nothing we could do now.

Now, the important thing was to act fast.

“Saki, you recently created an app for early voting, right? abandon How are the polls looking right now?”

Her fingers moved swiftly over the keyboard.

Saki started typing on her laptop without taking her eyes off the screen.

“Leon’s numbers are much higher than we expected… Do you think the trend will change?”

“It’ll probably stay like this until election day. voyage At most, the variation will be around 3 or 4%. apron It looks like the seniors have completely lost their momentum… Leon’s popularity is just overwhelming.”

Saki shook her head.

Speedweapon muttered, frustrated.

“That guy… Has life just handed him everything on a silver platter? action He really is the damn protagonist…”
