Season 2 of Weak Hero Class 2 picks up immediately after Yeon Si‑eun’s forced transfer to Eunjang High, where rumor and reputation erect invisible walls around him. Once a top student, he now faces an entrenched hierarchy of teenage delinquency known as “The Union,” a self‑policed syndicate that thrives on borrowed authority and administrative neglect.
