Chapter 61 Freshman
A short time from the graduation ceremony to the return of spring.
Constell also has spring break. For Constell students who are devoted to training and study even during the vacation, this short spring break could be called a break in the true sense of the word.
Frontier also decided to take a break for this period. There was a process of applying and reviewing what he learned from the Roach Knights to Atzier, but other than that, it was a leisurely time to enjoy.
──Of course, because Frontier is taking a break,

Not everyone can take a break on spring break.“Hey, there’s no one there… … .”
Constell’s student council room.
The former student body president, Theo de Billancr, sighed as he held up the bundle of papers. The paper he was holding had the personal information of several students written on it.
“That’s why I told you to choose a successor in advance.”
“Did you not choose because I didn’t want to?”
Theo responded to the secretary, the Byzantine, who was next to him to give him a pincup. And after thinking for a moment, he looked at the Byzantines and said:
“Will you do it? student president.”
“Is he very tasty? Are you and me in the same grade?”
“therefore?”
“So what is that? I’m graduating too!”
Theo’s eyes widened at the Byzantine words.
“you… … graduate… … ?”
“Oh, you want to redecorate the student council room, right?”
Theo smiled and waved when the Byzantines really tried to raise their mana. But those eyes were quickly closed with worry and sighs.
“… … You know, I’m definitely the ‘former’ student council president, right?”
“Is not it.”
“So, the student council president is vacant, right?”
“Is not it. You have decided on your successor, and Constell kept delaying the student council vote and eventually got canceled.”
Constell has been very busy this year.
The golem takeover case, the search for the traitor hiding inside the teacher, the defense of the attack, and even the Indus.
As a result, voting for the student council was delayed. This is because it takes a long time for campaigns and votes, etc.
There was some time before the winter break came, but at the end of the second semester, Constell does not hold any events.
All of a sudden, the voting was canceled, and now, they tell Theo to just pick a successor.
“… … I hate to say this, but I did.”
“yes.”
“Constell is not popular with the student council.”
The Byzantine gaze shifted to that complaint. Theo’s face is completely invisible. Moving there, I could see a mountain in the distance outside the window. Wow, why is the mountain that was there yesterday still there today? really cool,
“hey! Don’t ignore it!”
“I can’t help it! Most of the students who attend Constell come here wanting to become professionals! Kids who are focusing on their training even on vacation would be interested in how school works!”
As the Byzantines said, Constell’s student council is unpopular. Above all, the fact that no one cared about the student council president for such a long time was a big proof.
In fact, students still think Theo is the student body president. I’m actually doing my job.
“You are you too. If you just quit the student council president, you shouldn’t come here, are you holding on until you graduate?”
“Then what do you do when the teacher asks you? My successor will come soon, so I ask you to stay for a while. What am I going to do?”
“I asked you to stay for a little while and then I graduated.”
The fact that the student council is unpopular means that the number of students in the student council is small. Because you can’t force a student who says they won’t do it into the student council.
Of course, there are no first or second year students in the student council, but none of them wanted to become the student council president. Seeing Theo doing everything on her own was terrifying.
“Even if you choose a successor, don’t make them do like you. That’s bad.”
“I mean, have I been doing anything bad to me until now?”
“right. Apologize to yourself.”
Byzantine words that did not contain a single penny. Theo sighed.
Either way, a successor must be decided. Until now, even as the former president of the student council, he was in Constell, so the life of the student council was maintained. But now Theo is graduating. The time has come when it is physically impossible.
“… … Is he the only one?”
“I don’t think I will.”
“Do you answer knowing who I am talking to?”
“You’re choosing from among the 2nd graders. Then it is decided.”
Hearing the Byzantine words, Theo thought that he was too.
Elin Evans.
This is the candidate Theo thinks of as a successor to the student council president.
“If you ask, will Elin do it? He’s not even a member of the student council.”
“But right now, no one in the student council wants to be the student council president. Now that I keep doing what I was doing, my work is overloaded, and the new student council president will reduce this burden. Elin has a wide network and is surprisingly thorough, so I think she will do well.”
At Theo’s words, the Byzantines shook their heads for a moment.
Elin Evans. He is the brightest person in the second year.
Elin was already famous in Constell even before her brother Aster came here. Not because of his younger brother, but because of his pure ability.
It is said that Elin was born with a genius sense when it came to handling swords, and had already reached the point of becoming one with the sword. The magical power it possesses is weak, but it covers all of it with its skills.
Although there is sleepwalking, it is not a problem in daily life, and no one was harmed or injured because of it, so it may not actually be sleepwalking. Although I always claim that I am not.
The problem is that Elin is incredibly busy with her skills. I heard that a professional intern is already scheduled, and I am very busy with it during this vacation. Far from being interested in the student council, he wondered if he knew about this existence.
“But you should ask first.”
“Well, yes, though.”
smart-
Then someone knocked on the door of the student council president. Theo and Byzantine looked at each other. It’s still spring break, and students rarely come to Constell, and so are the teachers. When I came to Constell, there were very few things to do in the student council room.
“Yes, come in.”
Theo once said as usual.
The door to the student council room opened and what came in.
“… … yes?”
Surprisingly, it was Elin Evans.
Theo was a little perplexed when the person he had been talking to before came in. Did you ever hear about it outside? No, I wouldn’t have said it so loudly. No, but if it’s Elin’s sensitive sense.
“Hello, my name is Elin Evans.”
Elin looked at Theo and bowed her head politely. Theo was greeted awkwardly.
“Yes, this is Theo de Billancr. What happened to the student council? … ?”
Theo looked into Elin’s blinking eyes and said. Although we met while passing by, Elin was usually asleep each time, so it was the first time Theo saw Elin’s clear eyes like that.
“Stir.”
Even the lips that open so slowly are too unfamiliar to Theo.
“I want to become the student council president, what should I do?”

As the new sun rises, some leave and some come in.
This is not just a story about Constell.
There was one problem in the Empire that had to be resolved somehow before winter was over.
‘Zodiac’.
Due to Heldre’s death, there was a vacancy in the ‘Zodiac’ where 12 places should be kept. Since these 12 positions must be maintained absolutely, new people must inevitably enter.
In the Empire, of course, ‘Ampere de Roach’ was selected as the number one priority. The iron wall of the north, the man who best suits the name of Ikki Dangcheon, who leads the Roach Knights.
However, Ampere never intended to enter the Zodiac. He was the one who rejected the Empire’s request to come to the center several times in the first place. For him, who hated empires, the Zodiac was an absurd offer.
The Empire sent Ampere about six invitations for the Zodiac, but he only responded to the first one. It was ‘rejected’. All subsequent invitations were ignored.
So the Empire was forced to find the next person. Of course, even this was not easy.
Those who are worth examining the Zodiac already understand Ampere’s abilities well, and the fact that he would have rejected the Empire’s request can be seen with their eyes closed.
If so, do you really have the same skills as Ampere? Not being able to easily answer that question was the reality of the Zodiac candidates.
After Heldre’s death, it took a long time for the next Zodiac to appear.
It was literally a long time after Heldre died, until winter vacation came to Constell, Frontier headed north of Yeranhes to get fragments, and came back.
If this year was over, the Empire was anxious. Of course, the zodiac’s actual strength is also important, but from the point of view of a nation, the meaning of the symbol is great.
When the system of the Zodiac is strong and the people it belongs to are sufficiently convincing to the citizens of the Empire, citizens can trust in their safety.
When winter was about to pass.
Finally, there was a man who stood up with his heavy buttocks.
“Look at the house. I’ll come and go.”
The man refitted his shoulders a few times because the robe he had been wearing for a long time was awkward.
Another man, Hector Dutoit, who watched it silently, sighed.
Hector the White Lion, the man Frontier met at Tayburn’s Wall. Although he uses the surname of Dutoit, he is actually the son of Reedwee.
Hector looked at Reidwe with cold eyes.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of it.”
“It might take a long time, so I’ll leave it to you.”
“Why do I have to protect your house? Suddenly, as if nothing had happened.”
“Nothing happened.”
Reidwe interrupted Hector.
The tone was still there, but the sunken eyes made Hector falter.
“Then what happened between you and me? Whatever it was, nothing happened.”
“… … Don’t even think about going for it like that.”
“Hector. You told me that in the future, your name will be engraved all over the continent.”
Hector shut his mouth at those words, but showed an unpleasant look all over his body. Of course, I still think about it, but I said that to Reedwee because I was very young.
“I haven’t changed my mind, but you better follow me now. Even if you try to hide the name Urfa, it’s not something you can hide. This estate, this mansion, the family, and me. It’s about making the most of what you can use.”
Reidwee was ready to go, carrying a small bag and walking towards the exit of the mansion.
He said at the door.
“Whether you forgive me or not, I don’t really care what you think of it. But it doesn’t change that you are my son. I told you to look at the house, so this house is yours for the time being. The owner of the mansion, the knights who are hired on a temporary basis, the territory, everything belongs to you.”
“… … What is that?”
“No matter what. Keep it in your mind.”
Reidwee said with a slightly lonely face.
“Like I said before, I won’t be here for a while.”
* * *
The Empire welcomed the new zodiac.
Reedwe von Urfa.
A real-life wizard who made a breakthrough in the war against demons. Of course, among the Zodiac, Constell’s Principal Osprit is the closest to the Archmage, but there were many wizards who liked Reedwee more than Osprit.
Osprit is devoted to student education and does not participate well in combat, and his school of magic is too difficult to understand.
On the other hand, Reidwe uses most of the magic that everyone knows well, without any bias, and above all else, it looks gorgeous.
Everyone marvels at the majesty of seeing the lightning that comes out of his staff engraving the earth with one stroke.
However, the lead-wee himself said, ‘I don’t like flashy things’.
… … As the new sun rises, while Reedwee adjusts to the zodiac.
Of course, Constell also welcomes the new year.
opening ceremony. The first day of school in a new year.
After leaving the third year, new freshmen come again.
Freshmen, like last year’s freshmen, go to school with great anticipation for the new environment and the name of Constell.
Of course, they also talk a lot about the big news of a new zodiac, but it’s something else that grabs their attention right now.
“You know what? Aster Evans-sama is among the seniors here!”
“A genius with the power of Baldur, he’s been very famous since last year!”
“You’re brother and sister to Elin Evans. How, how is it that siblings are so great together?”
As always, freshmen have great admiration for their seniors. There are longings for professionals, but the longings for seniors are more realistic and closer.
“Elodie senior with the name of ‘Inies’ and Princess Aten!”
“Last year, a lot of famous people entered the school! Oh, I wish I had met at least one of them!”
Several characters come and go in their mouths. Meanwhile, a student with a slightly cautious expression said:
“But, do you know about that?”
“yes? Like what?”
“Last year, there were seniors who were more famous than them. It wasn’t good.”
The students who were listening to that small voice said, “Oh,” and laughed as if they knew.
“Oh, I know. Frond, Frontier? you were very famous Did you say you were sleeping all day?”
“A person who sleeps on his stomach during class, skips outdoor activities, and does nothing in clubs!”
“So you said your nickname was ‘Human Sloth’? Wow, that was too much anyway.”
People who say it’s too much, but still laugh and giggle at each other.
However, the male student who spoke with a cautious face at first still did not resolve his expression.
“Yeah, but that old man. it’s changed a bit Behavior in school has also changed, and so has evaluation. So, you said it would be a disaster if you treat it with old information?”
“A big deal?”
“It is said that if you make fun of or make fun of the senior, you will be filmed without knowing it in the constellation.”
“What? What is the reason that one senior hates it?”
To the other girl, who still spoke with a sneering voice, the man spoke with a more nervous expression.
“No, it’s not that senior is filming, you know those famous seniors we just talked about, right? I heard that all the seniors were photographed. He said that if he treats or talks about that senior named Frontier recklessly, he doesn’t say anything, but since then he doesn’t look at me and ignores me. He even tells his classmates, but what will happen to first-year students like us?”
“Huh, really? Doesn’t it change a lot no matter what?”
“yes. That’s why the nickname ‘Human Sloth’ has changed a bit.”
“Change? with what?”
“He said ‘sloth’.”
The girl who was quietly listening to those words wrinkled one corner of her eye.
“sloth… … ? Maybe that sloth?”
Is that some kind of demon king?
