Chapter 52 – Stormy Student Council President Election (1)

The midterm exam period, which made Academy students’ blood dry, has finally passed.
This year, there were especially many people hospitalized at the temple. Although there were cases where students were overworked or stressed after receiving lower-than-expected grades, most of the patients were freshmen.
In particular, many people suffered from trauma and fainted after checking the last question during Professor Vincent’s ‘Basics of Elemental Magic’ exam.

Should we say that it was thanks to that, Adela avoided failing the exam she had hastily prepared for. She leisurely took pictures of the problem and even fell asleep on her stomach.
As a result, I was able to avoid being kicked out of Parencia Academy because I did not repeat more than half of all subjects.

“Ha, I barely survived… !”

Erzébet, who was watching her next to her, also let out a small sigh of relief.
She personally stuck by herself throughout the exam period and helped him improve his grade even a little, so she would have been sorry if the results were not good.

Anyway, this period, when the exams were over, was when students were most relaxed, but on the other hand, Erzsebet was unable to hide her nervousness more than ever.
This was because the first semester’s grand finale, the student council president election, took place right after the midterm exams.

Her position as student council president was her ultimate goal for entering Parenzia Academy.
This is the most important position, as it can acquire and manage interests within the academy on behalf of the chairman, who is generally not involved in the operation, and can exchange perspectives with various political and business figures.

Therefore, every year, numerous descendants of royal officials compete for the position of student council president, but this year, the owner of the position was almost half-determined.

Erzsebet Brunhart de Bahor.

Because she, the most precious jewel of the Fenheim Kingdom and a direct descendant of the Wise King, was in her academy.
Of course, on the surface, the royal family has declared that it will not interfere in the election in any way, but what noble would dare stand in the way of the future queen running for election?
For the most part, it was an atmosphere where people could take care of themselves.

“New student, Erzebet Brunhart. Would you like to put your name forward as a candidate for student council president?”
“Yes, I will work hard for the development of Parenzia Academy.”

During her candidacy, Erzhebet watched her progress with even greater interest. As she expected, none of the children of prominent families or those who were members of last year’s student council applied to run for president this year.

‘If things continue like this, even if I just campaign a little, I can get elected.’

A deserted auditorium with only a few students gathered to watch. Ergébet nodded her head as she saw her own name posted on one of her walls in large letters.
Adela, who had guessed her test answers for the last time a little while ago, was also snooping next to her.

“Princess, will you be president?”
“Yes. “That’s why I came here.”
“What are the good things about being president?”
“Umm… To put it simply, Adela has a part of this academy.”

This was meant only figuratively.
But Adela looked several times at the receptionist standing in front of her, at Erzébet, and at her poster, and then she took a big step forward.
And then——

“I want to do it too.”

After the midterm exams were over, I reopened the cafeteria. However, all traps that could have harmed students were removed after careful consideration.
In addition to the ideological barrier that Liv had already placed, he also gained an iron dog, so the canteen’s defense should be sufficient. These were scary traps that could neutralize even Goliath, so it was really uncomfortable to leave them like this.

Immediately after the exams, business resumed and students started coming back little by little, but the cafe was not yet able to open.
The reason was not because construction was not completed or because cafes were out of fashion.
I hate to admit it, but Adela, who was the most popular at the Parencia snack bar and cafe, has not been seen recently.

I definitely told you not to come back until after the exam, right?

After that, she didn’t even think about showing her barrel face.
Still, it seemed strange that I was knocking on Adela’s dormitory door looking for her.
Also, I thought it would be a good idea to focus on the canteen instead of putting too much strain on Liv, who was still injured, so I just left it alone.

“Now that I think about it, I can’t see Adela these days.”
“Yes, yes!?”
“Have you ever seen Baron Reeve?”
“No, never. “I haven’t seen her in my life.”

She sometimes asked Liv, who was in denial about the uncertain future, for some reason, but her whereabouts were unknown.
On the contrary, since it had not been long since business resumed, the time alone with Liv was gradually increasing in the cafeteria where there were few customers.

“President. “What is this word?”

Since the last time her wounds were treated, her attitude towards me has strangely changed.
It’s hard to explain precisely, but very little things.
I always heard that when I read a book with my back straight, I strangely felt strength in my stomach.

“〈abdominis massage〉, it means abdominal massage… “What kind of book are you reading?”
“It’s just an educational book…”

They sometimes ask me about words that have nothing to do with magic.

Aside from that, he oddly moved his hair behind his ears more often and spent more time staring at my hand. Fortunately, it didn’t seem like the trauma from the previous incident remained deep.

I was very surprised to see the iron dogs purring on one side of the store. While taking a walk, someone threw it away and I took it out of pity, so I left it there.

One afternoon when I was having such a leisurely day.

As I was sweeping the front of the store with a broom, a poster with a familiar face blew in the wind.

[Information on the Farencia Academy Student Council President Election]
[Symbol No. 2: Adela Sylvester de Rocheire]
[Self-introduction: Miss Adela~! Make the Academy a paradise on earth! Open the store to Sweet Loving Home!! Please vote for me!]

“What the fuck?”

Suddenly, a chilling energy enveloped the surroundings. I felt like something was wrong.
I put down the broom for a moment and rubbed my eyes a few times. I think I saw something I can’t see now…
When I came to my senses again, I saw that the poster had already gone away with the wind to another place. As if it had feet.

Ah, you must have read it wrong. Did I really care about Adela that much?
Since she hasn’t been seen for a while, she seems to have created a terrible illusion that she is busy running for student council president.

I resumed cleaning as if nothing had happened.
Come to think of it, this time of year, just like when salons were springing up all over the place, we had trouble taking down the posters.

“Should I just set up the trap again?”

There will definitely be a lot of them on the walls and windows of the cafeteria. In fact, the concession stand was right in the middle of the academy, so the promotional effect was far superior.

I don’t know why someone would use someone else’s house as a poster, but the good news is that this time, unlike salons where we don’t even know who runs it, responsibility is clear.
As it is an election poster, the face of the candidate is displayed on the front page.
Last year, one of the guys who had plastered the cafeteria without knowing how to do it took it upon himself to fix her head in the position of the poster.

That won’t happen this time. After finishing cleaning, I went back into the store.

And a few days later, I received shocking news that Adela was running for student council president.

***

“Hey, Miss Adela? Sanity… “No, are you serious?”
“Yes.”

Adela tilted her head in front of Professor Roylen, who was suddenly meeting her.
Illen expressed her opinion that she was in trouble as she looked at her with her innocent eyes shining.

“Even if it is a pilot method used to run the academy, elections are no joke.”
“I’m serious.”
“Where are you going to get the manpower and funds?”
“My friends decided to help. “I have money.”

She held up her money bag hanging on her waist. Of course, the amount of money worked at the canteen was not the same.
For Adela, who lived with support from her family, the money she received from her part-time job was close to the price of gum. Since it was given to me by Lewis, I never used it and kept it as a treasure.

For some reason, even after I ran away from the Rocheard family, money continued to come in and there was no problem with election activities.
She clearly didn’t seem to have even a 1% chance of being elected, but as her intentions were firm, even Roylen couldn’t strongly dissuade her.

“Ha… First of all, I understand. These are precautions that candidates should be aware of. The Electoral College must not be run with illegal funds, and you must never miss the two speeches before the main vote. If you don’t show up, you will be disqualified. “There are many other detailed regulations, so be sure to read them.”
“I understand, Ms.”

After leaving her interview room, Adela climbed to the tallest clock tower in her academy with her light steps.
A wonderful view of the site of Parenzia at a glance, under a clear, windy blue sky from a low mountain peak in the distance.
After chasing away the birds that had already occupied the spot, she took a deep breath and looked around her.

“It’s pretty…”

Adela had not forgotten her promise to Louise.

Wish.

Now that she had done well on the exam and avoided being expelled, it was her turn to tell him her wish, which she had always dreamed of.

However, for that to happen, preparation was needed.
Doesn’t it make sense for a bride to get married without even getting married? As she is now, she does not have the prestige of her family, the stylish ribbon that graces her ceremony, or even the dress that is torn and dirty and difficult to wear again.

Although funds for living expenses are still being provided, it is difficult to expect support from her parents’ home.
In that case, all she has to do is conquer everything with both fists.

She quickly became the student council president of the academy.
I am giving this beautiful scenery in its entirety to the teacher.

“And then, just the two of us at the snack bar… Lol.”

Dang, big love~! Dang!

The bell ringing from the clock tower at midday announced the beginning of her grand plan.
Adela spun around, spreading her arms toward her sun.

“Good. “I’m going to try it.”

In May. The stormy student council president election has begun.
