Hello, students and teachers.

Hey, this is...

Right now, I, Sansanee Tichakun, have come back,

and as the Director of Satree Lerdla Wittaya School,

I would like to revoke

the scoring and ranking system

from now on,

and we will begin

at zero.

4 YEARS AGO

Everyone.

As we can see, the ranking system or the personal score system

will push our school

to the next level.

Not only will it show everyone how advanced our school is

and how accessible the scores are,

but it will also allow students to know how they are doing

and encourage them to improve.

With this, students' scores will not be a mystery that only teachers know

or are just in the school reports.

I have a question.

Wouldn't the students with low ranking feel bad?

Every time they open the school app,

they will see their name at the bottom of the list.

That's why we, as their teachers, have the responsibility

to motivate them to try harder.

We have to make them feel like they are always in a competition

because their scores and ranking can always go up.

Think of this as a free market.

Intense competition means a better quality of products.

I'm just making a comparison here.

I'm fully aware that our students are not products.

Students are the future of our nation.

They will graduate and help our country.

So it's our duty

to create valuable resources for our country.

After I assigned the administrative duty to the deputy director,

I was just waiting for my retirement.

I came back

because I wanted to look after the small garden behind my beloved school.

But the thing that I feared had become a reality.

I found out that a student became the victim of the system

that the deputy director had created.

No one could help that poor student.

After that,

I had Ms. May tell me everything happening in the school.

Do you know about the group named Black Sheep?

I know

that there is a group of students who are against what Wichai is doing.

That group is called Black Sheep.

And Ms. May also knew

that they were her students from Class F.

That's the important thing here.

-But now, I'm quite confident that... -And I...

-Black Sheep are students from my class. -also knew about...

-There's a student, Prapang, -one of the students in Class A

-was transferred to Class F. -was recently transferred to Class F.

My instinct told me that Class F students

were going to bring change to this school.

She was a spy for the deputy director.

Then, one day, Ms. May told me

that the deputy director wants the Black Sheep members to be dismissed.

-He issued a special order. -At that moment,

-If a member of Black Sheep breaks it, -I decided that

-the whole class will be expelled. -a retiring teacher like me

needs to do something for every student

in this school.

I'll take care of it myself.

I would like to revoke

the scoring and ranking system

from now on.

Let's go, Ms. May. We have a lot to do.

-Yes, ma'am. -Director.

You can't do this.

You don't have administrative power.

Why can't I?

I am the director, and you are just the deputy director.

I have assigned my duty to you

only when I was on leave.

Do you think that the administrative board,

the parents' association, and the alumni association

will let you do whatever you want?

Don't think that you are the only one with connections.

Even though I will retire in three months,

the administrative board, the parents' association,

and the alumni association

agreed to let me come back.

The only one who wasn't aware of this is you.

Let's go, Ms. May.

WHAT IS THIS #SETZERO THING? IS THE SCHOOL'S WEBSITE HACKED?

IF IT'S NOT FIXED TODAY, MY PARENTS WILL BE MAD.

WHAT WILL WE USE TO GO TO UNIVERSITY?

WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?

THE PRIVILEGES ARE CANCELED. I'LL USE THE CLASS A DINING ROOM.

HONESTLY, IT'S AWESOME THAT WE DON'T HAVE RANKS AND PREFECTS.

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. #SAVESATREELERDLA

Pang, is that you?

Yes, it's me.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good. I just started teaching at my new school.

I just got started, so it's a little tiring.

But it's fun.

How are you doing?

I'm doing good.

The whole gang was almost expelled, but we got through that.

What do you mean?

The director has come back to power, and she has ordered Set Zero.

So everyone's scores are at zero.

The deputy director isn't in power anymore.

The school must be in chaos right now.

So how are you doing?

I don't know what to do next.

Everyone is going crazy right now.

It's hard for junior high and senior high students, especially the seniors.

I'm sorry I'm not there for you.

It's fine.

Take care of yourself.

And take care of Meen for me.

When are we going to meet again?

I don't know.

Really?

Do your best over there.

Thank you. You too.

Okay.

Hi.

-The food here is great. -Can I taste it?

-Can I have the cucumber? -Do you want some?

-I'm still hungry. -Have some cucumber.

Hey.

What?

Get out of here. This is Tam's table.

Really? Is her name written on it?

Are you crazy or something?

You've gone too far. Get out of here right now.

-No. -This is our table.

Who?

This zone is for Class A students. This table is for Class A students.

Regular students have to eat outside.

Everything has been reset.

All of our scores are equally set to zero.

Nobody has privileges over anybody. Don't you understand that?

But we are still in Class A.

But if your scores are zero,

can you really call yourself Class A students?

It was just an error. Our scores will come back. You'll see.

The scores you got by cheating?

Fine.

If you don't follow the rules, you'll regret it.

As a Student Officer, I order--

That's enough.

The director has canceled the prefect system.

There's no Student Court.

Meringue, take off the armband.

Just let them use the table.

We don't have to sit with them.

We can go back to our room.

Goodbye.

That felt good.

They just robbed us of our scores. This is so not fair.

How could they take away our scores?

Do they want us to be optimistic and study just for the sake of knowledge?

What are we going to use to apply to universities?

Tam, isn't your uncle the deputy director?

Can't you do something about this?

My parents were very mad about the exam being leaked.

My mom was mad too. We put a lot of effort into this.

My dad said he is going to discuss this with the school.

You have to do something about this, Tam.

Everyone, stay calm.

Can you stop complaining?

We were just figuring out what to do but you just kept quiet.

I'm going to see the director.

Do you have a plan about what to say to her?

I'm going to get our scores back.

If you want them too, then follow me.

Sitting here won't get them back.

Are Class B students going to see the director too?

Director, we have been using this system for four years now.

You can't just set everything back to zero.

You have been gone for a long time. Are you sure about this?

I agree.

Going through with this would be disrespectful to the students and parents

who have been putting their efforts in.

But I agree with the director.

Every class will remain the same.

We are just getting rid of the unfair system.

I know you are the president of the alumni association,

but you can't just say that the deputy director's system is unfair.

You have to apologize right now.

It's okay, Sommai.

I understand that people are having doubts about me.

But how are you going to handle this situation?

Many parents and students are looking for an acceptable reason

for this Set Zero thing.

Don't worry. I will handle this myself.

I will tell every student,

parents, and the media

that this is solely my decision.

Also, we still have time until the end of the semester

to see whether the Set Zero rule is a mistake or not.

If everyone thinks it is,

I will take responsibility for everything.

What are you putting on the line here?

You are going to retire

in a few months, aren't you?

I will put everything on the line,

my reputation and my money.

Even if I will be labeled

the worst director

in this school's history,

I'm willing to do this.

Also, if you want to go back to your system after that,

you have every right to do so.

Pang, you're here.

We are talking about the Set Zero thing. Come join us.

People are going crazy on the internet.

Those who can get into a private university won't be that bothered by this.

I don't think that's fair.

Even though my scores were very low in other subjects,

I was at the top of the class in PE.

Wait, I just remembered that my scores were deducted.

I'm sorry.

The school is in chaos right now.

What do you think, Meen?

We, the senior students, are the most affected.

We don't have scores for applications.

Shouldn't we do something about this?

I think we should stay put

and wait for the director's statement.

This is bad.

The students in Class A and B are going to see the director.

Meen, I think we should go with them.

I think so too.

I'm coming with you.

-Kook, stay here. -Kook, stay here.

Let's go, Meen.

What was that?

We have to fight for our scores. Don't surrender. Do you understand?

-Right. -We won't surrender.

Do you need to come here?

I think our needs are just different.

Tam, what are you trying to do here?

I'm getting back what was mine.

But Class F students like you must be stoked.

I have to admit that it's quite fun

to see you, Class A students, freaking out like this.

Tam, I'm not here to argue with you.

But I also think that things can't continue like this.

Has anyone seen the director leave her office?

We haven't.

Yes.

DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

You are all here.

I'm glad you're here. The director wants to see you.

Send two representatives from each class.

Come in.

All of them are here.

Then let's start.

Hello, representatives from the senior year.

I understand that you are worried about your scores

that you worked so hard for.

I understand

that you have to use the scores to get into universities.

Then, why won't you restore the system?

I agree with Class A's representative.

Or you can just restore the scores for this year.

The ones you got by cheating?

What did you say? Are you picking a fight?

So what? Will you put us in court?

You aren't Student Officers anymore.

I agree with the director that we should set everything back to zero

because if some people had cheated to get the scores,

then it isn't fair for us.

So we should get this sorted out.

Though we couldn't find definitive proof,

some students' previous scores

were manipulated by the deputy director.

It would be better to do a retest to find out

whether the people up there will stay in the same place

when everything is treated fairly.

I agree. I do want my scores back,

but I don't think Class A students should get theirs.

If we have a retest, I think I'll do as well as them.

You are being rude.

Right. We got in Class A by using our own abilities.

Okay. Enough.

I understand that you all want different things.

But right now I don't care about

how you got your scores.

Now I want to hear from you

how you want to get your scores back.

It would be good if we had a fair method.

Actually, I wanted to say that

we already have a contest every year.

What if we use this as the new testing method?

Are you talking about the Contest Festival?

Yes.

I object.

Normally, there are two kinds of contests in the Contest Festival,

one for academics and one for sports.

I'm not okay with the sports part.

We are seniors now.

We are going to take university admission tests soon.

How are we going to find the time to practice?

You're right. The sports contests weren't that serious.

They were done just for fun.

But some classes are good at sports.

I think it's good to measure them on what they are good at.

Also, I think good competition has to be fun.

I agree.

It would be good if the events test our abilities.

Yes. Also, I wanted to propose one more contest.

I want to add a performance contest

by letting each class submit one performance.

Then we will decide the winner by a popular vote

from the audience.

That's a ridiculous contest.

Seriously, what will Class A get out of this?

Other than the scores,

we will see whether the scores you once had

were attained by your own abilities or not.

We will also find out whether Class A

deserves the number one rank in the school

and all the privileges they used to have.

That sounds nice,

but it's not enough.

We don't have to prove anything. We already have everything you said.

I want to be honest here.

I would rather get what we had back.

Okay. How about the class

that gets the highest scores in all three contests

will get the right

to choose

whether all of you

will get your old scores back

or set up a new system after Set Zero?

-I'm okay with that. -I object.

I don't agree with letting the winner get that much power.

But if we don't do this, the argument will go on and on.

If you want to have a contest like you proposed,

you have to let all participants have a common goal.

-Don't you think? -I disagree.

What do you think, Prapang?

I don't think we should decide for all seniors.

Then what do you propose?

I think we should have a vote.

We should let all the senior students vote

whether they agree with the contest or not.

Do we agree on that?

Then I'll set up a vote for all senior students

to decide whether to use Contest Festival to obtain scores or not.

My beloved senior year students,

because our school is in the Set Zero process,

which has caused everyone's score to be set equally at zero.

The director and the representatives from all classes

have agreed on

setting up a vote to decide whether to use this year's Contest Festival

as a big test for all seniors or not.

The class that scores the highest

will get to choose whether we will use the old scores

or set up a new system.

I would like to ask all seniors

to cast your vote on this matter.

Good luck to everyone voting

Goodbye.

The results for the Contest Festival

have led to a consensus.

The number of students who supported the contest

is more than those who are against

by 25 votes.

I would like Ms. May to go over the rules for the Contest Festival again.

Normally, we have two categories of the contest.

One is for academics. The other is for sports.

In each category, there will be three contests.

For academics, we will have math, science, and social studies.

For sports, we will have basketball, badminton, and trail running.

In the past, we didn't count these contests in your scores.

But this time it's different.

So, I want to make the Contest Festival

more challenging for you.

First, we will add the performance category

as the third official category.

We will decide the winner

by a popular vote.

That means

the audience will also play a part in the contest.

Second, I will add three more contests

for academics and sports.

In conclusion, there will be three categories of contests.

Including the performance category,

you can choose to join the other six contests.

I will let each of the classes propose

what contest would you like to have in the school's application.

We will randomly pick out the ideas from that.

Finally,

to make the competition even more intense,

I would like to change the contest's name

to Contest War Festival.

I wish all of you, seniors, the best of luck

and fair competition.

Goodbye.

I never thought you would choose to do it this way.

I think you are even more extreme than me.

Letting the winner choose the system they want.

The stake is really high. Do you know that?

Everything can change, Wichai.

Both you and me.

If what the winner chooses doesn't work,

it will be overthrown.

But for now,

everyone will find a way to solve the issue.

But you've discharged the Student Officers.

Who will facilitate the contest this year?

The facilitators for the contest will be the teachers

and volunteers from students Grade 10 and 11.

Okay then. You can do whatever you want.

Don't forget what you promised.

Let's go, Sommai.

Tam, do you have plans for the contest?

No.

I understand that it's all happening so fast you have little time to prepare.

Don't fret. The students from Grade 11 who will be the judges are on our side.

-But-- -It's okay.

I have some incentives for them.

But it's up to you too.

I understand that, but it's risky.

What if we get caught like last time?

So, you are confident that you can beat the other classes?

This is not just a normal test.

If the rules don't let us win, you have to put in more effort.

Don't forget that we are betting our lives on this contest.

Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

I will come up with a good plan.

We all know about the Contest War Festival.

Our only option is to win.

We have to win?

But we are at a disadvantage here.

We might be smarter, but we have fewer people.

Only Class F has a few students like us.

Do you really think they are going to be a problem for us?

We might have fewer people

but we never get lower scores than them.

Just do as I say.

Meringue, Namkaeng.

In this document, you'll see the contests each of you is assigned to,

how to compete in them

and how to play each sport.

If we follow this,

we will definitely win.

Most importantly, all of you will have to do your homework.

Nobody can slack off.

Now.

Let's talk about the new category that was added.

That is the performance.

What are we going to do in that category? We only have one month.

Can we hire someone to perform for us?

Tam.

Should we hear some ideas from our classmates?

Do you have any thoughts, Namkaeng?

No. I just want to...

Just say it.

Well,

I really liked watching puppet shows when I was little.

I think it might be cool to do a puppet show.

Stop right there.

How would that kind of show win? Are you crazy?

Meringue, do you have any ideas?

Yes. I think we should do a dance performance using a Thai folk song.

We can make it fun and wear beautiful bright-colored clothes.

We can dance our hearts out. I volunteer to come up with the choreography.

That's stupid.

We are the smartest class, and our performance can't look stupid.

I have a plan.

We will have a choir concert.

That's not all. We will have an orchestra accompaniment.

Where are we going to get an orchestra?

Don't worry about that. My dad has already contacted one.

I will take care of the expenses.

Do we have an agreement? Let's follow this plan.

If we follow the plan, we can beat any class.

And when we win, everything will be back to normal

just like before this Set Zero thing happened.

All right, everyone. Let's brainstorm.

They want us to compete at what we are good at, right?

That's right. So, what do you want to compete in?

I want to join the survival game.

I'm going to shoot those Class A students

until they fall to the ground.

I think everyone has to be in that one.

-Really? -Yes.

But you can trust me with sports.

And you can trust me with AI and e-sports.

I will enter the academic contests.

But I might not beat Class A students.

What about the performance? What are we going to do?

The performance requires teamwork from everyone in our class.

So, we have to do something all of us can participate in

and are good at it.

I think we should split the tasks based on what we like or are good at.

What kind of show

can we create

that would require us to use all of our talents?

What about singing?

Wait. Do we have someone good at singing?

What about dance?

We have one person who can act.

Would you mind if we perform a play?

Because I think a play

is a show that we can create from what we like to do.

-Cool. -That's a good idea.

That's right.

So, are we doing a play?

-Okay. -Deal.

But Miichan, can you write a screenplay for us?

Good luck to us!

Good luck!

Everyone.

I don't know how much I can help with the play.

I'm not good at anything except studying.

In that case,

I'll assign the lead role in organizing the play

to Prapang.

What?

-Prapang. -Prapang.

-Prapang. -Prapang.

Pang.

Pang.

What?

Why are you sitting here brooding by yourself?

I was on the phone.

With who?

Well...

Was it Prapuean?

No.

Were you telling your parents about Set Zero?

I already told them.

What did they say?

They were shocked at first,

but they supported me and told me to do my best.

Then, there's nothing to worry about.

Not exactly.

Meen, you said

that we can choose our favorite book by ourselves, right?

And we don't even have to read

the same thing everyone told us to.

I said that?

You said

the school are forcing us to study the same textbooks

and when we graduate, everyone will be the same.

I never said that.

Are you kidding me?

Did you hear that from somewhere and think I said it?

If you are trying to make a fool out of me when I'm stressed out, I have to leave.

Sorry. I was kidding.

Of course, I remember. You have such a good memory.

I'm happy you remembered.

I want to have my own favorite book.

When I was first transferred to Class F,

it was clear that everyone has their own favorite book.

But if right now

you don't know what yours is, it's okay.

Don't worry about it.

I just want to have a dream, like you guys do.

Especially when I see that all of you have set your mind on something,

I can't help but feel bad.

Pang, you chose to come back to Class F.

Do you know what that means?

What does it mean?

It means that

you chose not to follow the path of Class A students.

You've come one step further.

-That's awesome. -But...

But what?

I'm still not sure that I will be a good lead manager for the play

and make our class win.

We just want

to have a chance to do our best

so we won't regret it later. That's it.

Also, do you realize that you are smart,

strong and straightforward?

And you are good at solving problems.

I didn't pick the lead manager of the play randomly.

-I don't think so. -That's enough.

No more doubts. If you keep sitting here and looking sad like this,

how are you going to raise everyone's spirit?

Come here.

-Come here. -Where are you taking me?

We'll see.

Why did you tell me to change?

Come on. Just follow me.

-Meen, why did you call me here? -Fui.

Don't ask any questions. Can I borrow your motorbike?

-What? -Quick. Give me the key.

-Where are you going? -Stop asking.

It's my bike.

I'm borrowing it.

Where are you going?

-We are going to see Tee. -What?

Where are they going?

Fui.

Have you seen Meen and Pang?

They were here, and now they're gone...

-What? -with my bike.

Where did they go?

Meen said they were going to see Tee. She took Pang with her.

They're going to see Tee? Doesn't he live far away from here?

And they are taking your old-fashioned bike?

Hey, have some respect for my bike.

It may be old, but I love that thing.

Hello, Moss.

Can you pick me up?

I'm in front of Meen's school.

I know what to do. Let's follow them.

How are we going to do that?

We can take Moss' car. He's driving it because it's his.

Miichan, are you coming?

I don't know where we are going but okay.

Fui, are you coming?

Sure. I have a GPS tracker on my bike.

We can tell Moss to follow that.

Let's stay here tonight.

We can leave here tomorrow morning and we'll get there soon.

I should have packed a change of clothes.

Hang in there, Pang.

How close are we?

We aren't that far away now.

Why did you take me to see Tee?

I think he might have some good advice for you.

I actually called him before we came here.

When? What did you talk about?

He told me to be there for you.

-That's it? -Yes.

That's it.

How could my brother be so dumb?

We're not dating or anything.

Why does he have to tell me he cares about me and misses me?

Why doesn't he say that?

You look sad again.

I'm not.

Stop lying.

You were the one who suggested it.

I didn't. What I said was true.

You started it. There.

-There. -You did.

Did you hear something?

It's probably nothing.

Someone must have bumped into the door.

I guess so.

Is that housekeeping?

Who's that?

Meen.

Meen, can we go back to our room?

We're not ghost hunting here.

Meen.

It's nothing.

That's good. Let's go back to our room.

But I heard a noise from over here.

Let's go. There's nothing here.

Fine.

How did you all get here?

I have a GPS tracker on my bike.

How thoughtful.

Just in case someone stole it, I would know where I can find it.

Riding a motorbike out of town is dangerous.

I was nervous about driving a car.

I couldn't stop you earlier. So, I had to follow you here.

You're lucky that you weren't hit by a truck.

So, you are the one who suggested following us here?

And who came up with the ghost thing?

I thought so.

Meow, Miichan. You have to pick a side.

Stop it, Meen. What are you doing?

You are afraid of ghosts.

But you tried to scare us.

People say there are ghosts in the forest in front of the hotel.

Let's go and test it out.

No. I'm not going.

Fui, Moss, are you asleep?

No.

Me too.

Are you nervous because you're spending the night with five beautiful girls?

Miichan, I know you're embarrassed.

But can you share the blanket with me? We're cold.

I thought about getting another room but I don't have enough money.

That's definitely an excuse.

It's cheaper to do this.

But if you come into my territory, you are a dead man.

How mean of you.

It's okay. I will be the barrier.

I want to see someone get jealous.

This is crazy. Let's go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow.

It's like we are on a trip for the first time.

If this is the first, then there will definitely be a second.

Tee.

Tee.

Look at him. He fainted after seeing a girl.

Do you want me to teach you?

You two. Go wait outside.

This way. A little higher.

Like that.

You guys too. Go out.

All of you. Get out.

I'm sorry.

For what?

You fell down because of me.

It's nothing. I'm not hurt.

So how is teaching here?

It's good.

It's not as chaotic as over there.

So I can concentrate on teaching.

Also, the students here are much livelier.

What about you? How are you doing?

How does it feel?

What do you mean?

You get to do what you want to do.

How does it feel?

Hey, stop making that sad face.

When I'm doing what I'm supposed to do or what I should do,

I always go all out.

That's good.

But now I don't know what I'm supposed to go all out for.

So I don't know how much effort I should put in.

Then you should go all out for what's in front of you.

What if I don't know

whether I'm doing my best or not?

Did you come here to ask me this?

I see. The school is having a Contest War Festival

instead of the final exam.

All the seniors must be freaking out

because they have to prepare for that.

That's about it.

But with the performance, it sounds fun.

What are you going to do?

We are going to perform a play.

I was assigned to be the lead manager.

They all nominated me.

But I feel like--

Follow me.

Have you played any sports?

I can ride a bike and play volleyball.

Have you played basketball?

No.

Good. I challenge you to a match.

But I don't know how to play.

It's fine. Just try it.

-Just the two of us? -Yes.

It's called a one-on-one.

First, you have to toss the ball through the hoop.

Again.

Let's get started.

I will block you.

Go.

Can I ask you something?

What does my question

have to do with tossing the ball through the hoop?

The rule is if you get one point,

I will tell you what your talent is.

Okay.

Moss, do you think Tee is being too hard on her?

I think he has his reasons.

Tee. Go easy on her.

She looks like she's dying.

Just let them do it.

So, if I don't score, you seriously won't tell me?

A rule is a rule.

People normally have what they like to do and what they are good at.

The luckiest ones are those who have the same things for both.

But I don't like to play basketball and I'm not good at it.

You have to try it to know if you like it.

What do you like?

I don't know.

Then you have to try things to see if you're good at them.

I don't know whether I'll like them

and I don't know whether I'll be good at them.

You just have to try them.

There's no other way.

And you must give your all.

Is there an easier way to do this?

There is but it's not for everyone.

Will you continue playing?

Go, Pang.

How did she do that?

-It just went in. -That was great.

Now can you tell me what my talent is?

I don't know either.

What?

I'm sorry I had to lie to you. But I can't tell you

what you're good at

or which path to take.

Because the only person who knows this is you.

Your problem is that you are afraid to start.

You just have to be brave and face what life has given you

until you find out what you like and what you're good at.

Just like how you decided to go back to Class A.

In the end, you will know where you're supposed to be.

That was very cool.

Thank you for coming to see me.

Thank Meen. She brought Pang here.

Yes, I was the one who brought her here for you.

Thank you for that.

So, is playing basketball the only thing you want to do with her?

You can do it, Tee.

-Tee. -Tee.

-Tee. -Tee.

I promise to go and see your play.

I'll wait for you.

That was good.

It's because of you.

I figured out

what our play is going to be about.

What is it about? Tell me.

It's about everyone in Class F

and the Black Sheep.

Wow.

Okay, guys. The director wants to tell our story.

I'll do my best, Producer.

It's going to be epic.

Can I be one of the actors?

You will be in the lead role.

Let me write the screenplay.

Sure.

I want to watch the play you will write.

Then you have to come see it.

Okay. I'll record it too.

Moss, you can be too sweet when it comes to girls.

You should go. You have a long trip ahead of you.

-See you later. -Bye.
