Chapter 10 – Before the Storm #02

After hearing my answer, Agnes left the training room without much reaction.

I even thought of an answer based on Agnes’ reaction to her if I said no so firmly.

I was a little dumbfounded because he backed away more than expected.

“What? It’s not the Agnes reaction I used to know…”

I was a little puzzled, but that reaction didn’t mean there wasn’t a corner to point out.

“Perhaps the student council president ordered it now… “

Otherwise, there’s no way the student council with a heavy ass would send a vice president.

Anyway, getting involved with the student council at this point is a no-go here.

The guy who was said to be a role model, teacher, and rival in the previous episode, now gets involved in the development of a light novel, not a web novel.

In the original work, the normal connection with the student council is the student council election after the midterm exam in the first year.

“In the novel, the main character got involved with the student council president candidates and ate all the sweet potatoes… “

When I think about it, it gets hot. I cut off all the villains without the knowledge of the main character.

If I try to lose weight with a girl, will he come and disturb me like a ghost?

“Anyway, let’s consider ourselves lucky.”
“What is the sword called luck? Older brother?”

Suddenly, a sound from behind me started me more than when I was started earlier.

Looking back, I can see Xiao-Mei, who has changed from her school uniform to a revealing china dress, setting up a five-layer lunch box.

Did you lose your senses because you concentrated on other thoughts?

“No, the vice president just went.”
“Hey~ You mean that princess knight?”

Bringing up the story of Agnes, Xiao-Mei’s large twinkling eyes narrow.

By the way, did Xiao-Mei know Agnes at this point?

“Do you know Agnes… ?”
“Of course. Master Zorba said that someday he would seduce you!”

Zorba Felkas Is it you again?

In fact, she begins to doubt that the violin is like that because of him.

“Anyway, they told me to give up the duel. I guess he didn’t like the fact that he was procrastinating on the work he was doing at the student council.”
“… Is that all?”
“Yes? What else can we talk about?”

It’s strange that Agnes and I just met for the first time, and that we have other business.

There are things I want to say on this side… But these words have no meaning in this episode.

“Come to think of it, that’s what it means! There’s no way Artin, who is a loner in our room, would have a conversation topic with the imperial princess!”

Xiao Mei suddenly smiles cheerfully, and she agrees with me.

But it seems like you’ve been stealing it from before, do you actually hate me?

However, that thought vanishes when you see the splendid 5-tier lunchbox spread with blankets on the floor of the training room.

There’s no way the kid who prepares this will hate me! It’s probably all Zorba’s fault.

“Brother Artin”

She was sitting next to Xiao Mei to eat, when she suddenly turned her head to a serious voice.

Xiao Mei, who was laughing briskly just before, is looking at me with a serious expression.

“Are you going to stop the duel?”

At Xiao Mei’s words, I shook her head at Xiao Mei.

It may seem crazy from the side, but I have no intention of giving up now.

“If I was going to give up, I wouldn’t have provoked you to a duel in the first place. I will see the end with Rexton this time.”

Of course, it would be okay to chew on it over and over again, but right now there are plenty of villains besides Rexton.

My goal is to pick only the thickest ones among them and enjoy the cider life while smashing their heads.

Isn’t it such a pointless waste of time to pour an entire round into one Rexton?

“Huh, that’s how you’re a great older brother! I will help as much as I can until the duel!”

Xiao-Mei grinned at my answer and picked up a huge meat ball with her chopsticks.

“Ruler! As a reward, I am feeding my juniors! I didn’t even do it to the young master, so you can be thrilled!”

Of course, I rejected the development of the light novel, which I declined out of embarrassment, and accepted it at once.

Well! Perhaps it was the use of spices from the archipelago, the meat balls boasting a variety of flavors spread in their mouths as soon as they were chewed. The deep taste of the meat is impressive, probably because it was made with high-quality beef.

I was really fucking happy to be treated with such utmost sincerity after returning from eating monster meat in the previous episode.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

Received by Xiaomei’s hearty smile Her, I started packing my lunch box.

“Artin Ludwig rejected our offer. Student President.”

Returning to the student council, Agnes looked at the silver-haired handsome man sitting on the other side of the round table and said,

“Student president, isn’t that a harsh title, Agnes? If you just call me Richard oppa, I’m satisfied.”

Looking at the man with a smirk, no, her older brother her and crown prince of the empire, Agnes sighed.

“We are not alone here, are we? You should always keep your chest. Student President.”
“Being tough, even though there aren’t any hard girls like that in the books that Agnes secretly reads every night!”

Shh at that! Shh! Seeing Agnes’ blushing face telling her to be quiet, Richard Ermengart looked at the other figures sitting around the round table with a satisfied expression.

“That’s right, it seems that our bold freshman rejected the consideration of the student council.”

At that, several student council executives clicked their tongues.

Does it make sense for a freshman from the Bronze Dormitory, with an insignificant family and insignificant talent, to reject the authority of the student council?

But the reason I couldn’t complain out loud was simple.

At the whim of the current student council president, Richard, the existing desks were pushed out and a round table made of high-quality mahogany wood was installed, but it was a meaningless whim.

The academy’s student council is not just a place to elect students’ representatives. That’s just a good excuse.

It is correct to say that it is a kind of power group that suppresses student disputes that cannot be resolved in a politically neutral academy.

Of course, the only people who enter the student council even at the lowest level are prominent nobles, or students with families or parents that cannot be ignored.

Occasionally, there are students who show great talent and cross the gap, but there were no such irregulars in the student council this time.

Moreover, it is not an exaggeration to say that this student council boasts the greatest power in the history of the academy.

The giant slayer of the kingdom of the present generation, succeeding Urdan Helic, who is said to have been born with the heart of a dragon.

The younger brother of the giant killer who beat and killed the assassin who tried to kidnap him at the age of 12 and the prince of the kingdom.

The second son of the Ishikuro family, the leader of the Republic of Korea, and the next Onmyodu who was said to have received magical powers from the gods.

The crown prince of the empire and the student council president who is considered one of the best talents of the current era.

Even the younger sister of the student council president and the vice-president, a knight who can’t be beaten by that giant slayer.

All of them are not at the level of executives of each country in the future, but a composition that would not be strange even if they become rulers.

With the power of such a student council, there is no problem at all even if the dissatisfaction of the middle-aged kingdom’s count family is lightly suppressed.

‘Has the freshman completely gone mad? I can’t even grasp the subject.’
‘If it were me, I would have bowed my head in gratitude, but as a noble, I can’t even learn how to behave.’
‘Is Artin a god? Artin Is he a rookie? Artin Is he a god?’

There are many thoughts, but this student council always suffers from the pressure of being thrown away by the family if they are not seen well.

“What do you think, you came to visit me, but it has become meaningless, Zorba Pelkas?”

Between the dead executives, the student council president’s gaze turns to Zorba, who was watching the situation while standing next to the round table.

But most of them, despite the rush of gaze that will make your stomach hurt the moment you meet, Zorba just shrugs his shoulders with a smirk.

“Well, I’m trying to help Artin, I’m not Artin’s spokesman?”
“Okay? The other time, he took himself as a spokesperson for his friend his, so I thought it was the same this time.”
“It’s not Zorba’s way to just watch a friend get caught up in unreasonable violence.”

A smile is naturally drawn on Richard’s lips, as if he likes Zorba’s clever attitude of his.

How many people could be so relaxed despite his authority as the crown prince of the empire?

“It’s a pity, do you have any plans to join the student council?”
“Because I value interaction with female students more than the student council with headaches.”
“Gee, this is the first time I’ve been rejected twice. I have tears.”

In the first place, it is not common for an outsider to join a student council meeting. Besides, Zorba Felcas is the successor to the Felcas top and this regular who refused to join the student council because of her outstanding talent.

Still, the student council president must have liked such Zorba, and he even complied with Zorba’s request this time.

“So, what are you going to do? Since that kid refused, did you just move on and sleep?”

As if he didn’t like the situation, the man who was watching the situation with a sullen expression opened his mouth.

Agnes looked at the crown prince, thinking that it was brave that the prince of the kingdom had such a bad temper.

The current trend is that the student council may press down an individual named Artin Ludwig in the name of authority.

“It’s a bit like passing by, anyway, didn’t you reject our offer?”
“Then shall I go and beat you up? Can you warn me not to mess around?”

As Agnes sighs as she watches the prince begin to loosen his fists, the prince shakes his head as he tries to stop.

“No, don’t you want to properly check that spirit that rejected our consideration?”
“…? How do you say it?”

At the words of the student council president, Agnes’ stomach began to ache. I usually say this because it’s the beginning of Richard’s whim.

“What else are you trying to do? Don’t you know we’re running out of budget because of the budget for the fireworks we bought last time at the entrance ceremony to start off splendidly?”
“What a strange thing! Academy should always value innovation to nurture new talent. I’m always trying to renew the academy’s boredom atmosphere?”

It is certainly. Another reaction is that he came up with something strange.

Leaving behind Agnes grabbing her hair, the student council president smiled at Zorba.

“Let’s make it bigger, I’ll rent the first training room instead of the second training room, and open the audience seats for everyone to see.”

At those words, most of the people present were taken by surprise. A duel between an imperial knight and a bronze freshman in the first training room? Even in public?

‘Fucked freshman…’
‘Wow, it was properly filmed by the student council president’

All I can say is that I will disgrace them for generations and let them leave the academy on their own.

At the very least, other students will continue to make it a pleasant topic of conversation while watching freshmen whose arms and legs are smashed. Just like the people who watched the gladiators in the ancient Colosseum.

“There is no way Artin Ludwig and Zorba Felkas would accept such an offer. Student President!”
“No, I will pass it on to Artin.”
“…?!”

And, when Agnes tried to stop violence by such authority, everyone except the student council president was surprised that Zorba rather accepted the proposal.

“Zorba Pelkass… Didn’t you say you were a friend of Artin Ludwig?”
“Of course, along with Xiaomei, they are the only precious childhood friends.”
“Then, I must decline this stupid offer… !”

A stranger, Agnes, is embarrassed and an acquaintance, Zorba, is relaxed.

However, Zorba wasn’t actually jealous of Artin or had any stupid thoughts about NTRing Xiaomei.

‘How will I react when I bring this proposal, and how will I resolve this duel…’

Zorba was genuinely curious. How will Artin, who has changed completely, act?

And is it really okay to leave Artin alone like Xiaomei said?

‘I want to know if you are really my friend Artin, Artin.’
