How to Survive at the Academy chapter 207

Youngest retiree (2)

“President. A gift from the reagent manufacturing club belonging to the Ministry of Alchemy. It is a tool that puts incense candles in a glass bottle and continuously incense them with a magic flame, and it smells so good! I’ll leave one in the office!”

“The former student council president, Beros, said he was proud and sent a high-quality magic wand as a gift. Shall I instruct you to bring it to your private room?”

“The Academic Headquarters has given me an order to keep the update cycle of the status report a bit wider. The president must have taken a policy in a way that does not interfere with the handling of business.”

“The Sangsaeng-dong Merchants Association also sent various refreshments and ornaments as gifts. There was no free space in the storage room of the Obell Hall, so I put it in the hallway for now. Shall we just give it to the student members?”

“The Togg Magic Society has sent a message congratulating you on your hard work. Thank you for your great contribution to the study of magic… I must have benefited greatly from the policy of sharing the results of my previous undergraduate research.”

Tanya walked down the hallway of the Obell Hall with a pale face.

Reports from the various student assistants following Tanya were all about gifts that were sent to show off to the wonderful President.

“Oh right. We have compiled a list of student suggestions! It should be processed by tomorrow, so please review it and pay!”

“It is said that the improvement plan for the disciplinary committee requested by the Academic Headquarters has been completed! If you have any comments, please organize them and send them documents!”

“In the afternoon, you have to go out to encourage the users of the L’Orail building! They say that the site is ready to meet, so we only need to inform us of the schedule, how do we schedule the time?!”

Of course, it wasn’t just one or two things about work.

Tanya was tormented by the secretaries for a while, and then entered the office and buried herself in the seat.

“… ”

This stillness has now become more precious than a thousand gold.

He is in a position to listen only to what he sees and hears until blood comes out of his ears, unless he is sleeping at night.

Even at this moment, the student council work is going on without a blink of an eye.

“like this… You can’t stay still… ”

It must have been a dream to become the president of the student council in Sylvania and to be widely recognized.

Only now, Tanya was left feeling tired.

“If you go on like this… really… Don’t become the lifelong student council president… !”

Even if they claim to be representatives of the original group, it doesn’t make sense to say that there are no opposing forces.

Someone opposes the seat of the current student president, conflicts, and tends to shake the supporters like that… Tanya was strangely supported by all the students.

I had to go a little more seriously. You have to give yourself a break so that the forces that are more likely to rebel against you can move around.

However, I wonder what it would be like to see victims appear in the process. I want to avoid causing riots, but I want to make sure that no one is unreasonably harmed.

… Sadly, there was no one around Tanya to tell them that such a thing was impossible.

“… ”

Tanya took a deep breath… He sharpened his gaze in a corner of the office.

If the world comes out like this, you don’t sit still. When this happened, it caused a thorough riot.

So I promised myself.

The next day, Tanya headed to the Ophelis Hall.

Ophelis Hall is the highest-class dormitory in Sylvania, where dignity must be maintained, and the maids who manage it work with great pride in that fact.

Once you scratch that pride. In the name of investing in student welfare, the funds invested in the Ophelis Hall are cut, and they even point out that the student management of the Ophelis Hall seems to have been neglected recently.

“Surely it is. There was a realization that the Office of Ophelis seemed to have neglected the manpower management. Also, to some extent, you’ve figured it out. As you pointed out, I will come up with an improvement plan and report it. Miss Tanya.”

“… yes?”

However, the maid chief, Bell Maia, showed a self-respecting attitude, rather than showing a sign of displeasure, and bowed her head to Tanya.

“The Ophelis Hall has a strong tendency to receive special treatment among the facilities inside the undergraduate school. Of course, it is a place that requires a lot of special support as much as it is a middle job, but that doesn’t mean that discipline should be lax. Thanks for the timely advice.”

“… Ah, yes… ”

However, the maid, who already had a friendly relationship with Ed Roth Taylor, and who knew Tanya’s essence, did not intend to set up an antagonism.

Rather, it served as an opportunity for self-reflection on internal manpower management and strengthened internal stability.

Tanya had a puzzled expression on her face, and eventually led the student secretaries to the Trix Hall.

When Tanya, the student council president, suddenly said that she was coming, Rachel, the vice-principal from the Trix Hall, appeared and greeted them. Tanya had an absurd look on her face because she was dealing with a student and wanted the vice-principal to come out in person, but at the Trix Hall level, she treated her with the best courtesy.

“Recently, the Elte Company has often shown a limited response to academics, but I heard that the recruiting policy implemented at the student council level worked out a lot.”

Vice-Principal Rachel looked at Tanya and spoke with a satisfied expression on her face.

“I’m looking forward to playing a big role as a bridge between academics and business in the future. It is safe to say that there has not been a student council president who has been able to achieve this level of integration and inclusion since the opening of the school in Sylvania.”

“that… Vice-Principal Rachel… It is no different, but the reduction of faculty research funding… to suggest… ”

“Hmm… research funding? Clearly, it has not been effective in terms of money in recent years. Shall we put the reduction plan to the academic headquarters to catch up on the discipline of the researchers? Principal Obel may object.”

“Well then… Principal Obell may not be in a good mood… ! Researchers will hate it too… !”

When Tanya snorted and said that, Vice Principal Rachel thought deeply and replied that she would.

“It must go on! As money flows out of research that doesn’t work… Investing in student welfare is right… !”

By pushing so hard, Tanya was able to get Rachel’s confirmation.

The next day, an answer came back from the academic headquarters to the student council.

― ‘The current student council president directly suggested it, so it passed surprisingly easily. Researchers also came up with a report that, with the passage of this cutback as an opportunity, they would reflect on themselves in order to correct themselves, who had forgotten the meaning of academics, and to produce more meaningful results for the development of magic.’

― ‘You were broadening your horizons not only for managing students, but also for the staff at Trix. What a surprise, Tanya Rothtailer. It wouldn’t have been easy just to fulfill my duty as the student council president, but I want to congratulate you for your hard work.’

“why! why! why!”

Tanya screamed as she ripped her hair off her office desk.

“This week, they toured the L’Orail Hall to encourage faculty and staff, voluntarily inspect the operation status and internality of the Ophelis Hall, and even review the performance of research professors. Actually, don’t you enjoy being president?”

“I am just the student council president! It’s clearly an act of supremacy! Why aren’t you feeling bad?”

“The image of a person is so scary. Broadly speaking, it is an external activity to increase student welfare funds.”

Ziggs Eiffelstein wiped his long sword with a cloth, grabbed a student secretary and gave him various instructions.

From noblemtl.com

Most of them were about preparations for the Unified Contest to be held in late autumn. As the executive committee member, Ziggs was in charge of securing a place and managing contacts.

“You have to go to the student meeting you convened in the afternoon. It will not be too late to start preparing after dinner.”

“It happened… What if we removed some of the perks of the seniors in each grade?! Seniors are the people who are widely supported among students, right? Wouldn’t the opposing factions be gathered if you feel like you’re in a bit of a confrontation with those people?!”

“Look at the seniors. Wade Callamore, Lucy Meryl, Ed Rothtailer, Dyke Elpelan. Can’t you just hear the name?”

Ed Roth Taylor is Tanya’s older brother, and Dyke Elpelan is a student member.

Lucy Merrill would completely follow Ed Rothtailer’s opinion, so it’s safe to say that the majority were already pro-Tanya factions.

“Why so… My support is strong… !”

“… .What do you mean with such a desperate expression on your face? ?”

“Is there no reason to be hostile to Elte Sanghoe? How about pods with exclusive rights to some items?”

“Anyway, most of the items are clearly stipulated in contracts without any controversy… Also, as long as Ed-sunbaenim remains a pro-student union faction, it will not be easy to set up a confrontation with Elte Sanghoe.”

“Eh… ”

Here again, it was Ed Roth Taylor. As long as it has the support of Ed Roth-Taylor, it is correct to assume that it also has a support relationship with Elte.

“Hey, how about the imperial family? If you go to the royal dormitory where Princess Penia is, and ask for something like a bachelor’s fee… Wouldn’t that be considered an insult to the imperial family?”

“Princess Penia’s side is already close to the Roth Taylor family, isn’t it? It would be better to quit. Then, if you really succeed in winning even a few gold coins, the support of the bachelors will be stronger.”

“Why does stabbing this side make that side stronger, and stabbing that side makes this side stronger!”

“It’s hard to even ask me.”

Tanya wasn’t giving up here. As he clenched his teeth and shook his head, he repeatedly tried to squeeze his thoughts out.

“platform! It’s irrational to tithe from the Telos Church’s side! Religion is the most sensitive part!”

“That… Ed-sunbaenim must have already established the power of the Telos Church. First of all, Saint Clarisse is a completely pro-Student Council faction.”

“yes?! Does Saint Clarisse support me? why?!”

Tanya is unaware that Kylie Ekne and Saint Clarisse are the same person.

Ed Roth-Taylor and Tanya Roth-Taylor. For Clarisse, who has completely favorable feelings for the two, wishing for hostility is rather a self-sustaining choice.

“that… Maybe it wasn’t that Ed-senpai’s hand was written down… ”

“How many bodies does your older brother have?!”

“It’s hard to even ask me.”

Tanya slumped back into the chairperson’s seat. He swept his face up a few times, then made a dying sound.

“I can’t run away… no… In the seat of the student council president, who is like this… I must be bound forever… .”

“that… President Tanya.”

“… yes?”

“… Dex’s budget decision… You must sign… ”

Tanya shook her head. Decision on the operating budget for this semester’s Dex Hall.

The budget, which had to be approved by the student president before moving on to the academic headquarters, was 147 pages long.

“Please review within an hour. That way you can eat and attend the afternoon meeting.”

Tanya looked at Ziggs as if asking for help, but the answer Ziggs was supposed to give was still the same.

“It’s difficult for me to do that.”

*“Oh, Tanya. why are you so dead Are you very tired from work?”

It was a few minutes before the afternoon meeting started that Tanya had met Ed Roth Taylor after a long time.

Before entering the small hall, as soon as I met Ed Roth Taylor in the hallway… Tanya cried.

The aristocratic children who had gathered under the presidency of the student council president Tanya were sitting together in the small meeting room of the Gloct Building, without leaving a single one.

When they return to their estates, they are treated with respect by their vassals and rule like kings, but in the Sylvania Academy, the land of learning, they are only students.

Recently, the student council president Tanya, whose momentum seems to have skyrocketed, called directly, so everyone had been sitting and waiting for fifteen minutes before everyone else.

Looking at the faces of the people sitting, they were all students from aristocratic families that were famous even within the school year.

Some students who were not from noble families were also present, but most of them were people involved in this competition for the throne.

1 Grade.

Wade Callamore. Joseph Whitepelz. Aig Lokin. Delus Einshaven.

Saint Clarisse could not be summoned only by the authority of the student council president.

2nd grade.

Ziggs Eiffelstein, Clevius Nortondale, Elvira Aniston, Elka Islan.

Likewise, she could not directly summon Princess Fenia.

3rd year.

Ed Roth-Taylor, Fabri Ginnipale, Drake Reigers, Clara Danielheim.

Grade 4.

Dyke Elpelan, Dorothy Whitepelz, Traceiana Bloomriver,

Except for Zigs and Clara, who moved the dormitory on their own, all of them are distinguished guests using the Ophelis Hall.

Other than that, there are many children of noble families in Sylvania, but if we were to select the students who would be most affected by the competition for imperial power in each grade level, this was roughly it.

The rest were children of aristocratic families on the outskirts, or people who had a hard time having a significant influence on the competition for imperial power.

This place, where such famous aristocrats gather in one place, is also an uncomfortable place for everyone. It’s a place where you can’t be rude.

All they did was sit quietly and wait for Tanya, who presided over the seat, to enter.

“I’ve been busy these days, but it’s nice to see that you seem to be busy with the president’s job. Should I do survival activities, rebuild the hut, or manage sexuality?

On the other hand, in the hallway, Ed and Tanya had met face-to-face after a long time.

It was a very welcome response for Ed.

In fact, Ed Roth-Taylor was popular throughout the bachelor’s, but very few people were greeted with that kind of sincerity by that man.

No matter how friendly the relationship may be, Ed Roth-Taylor always keeps the minimum good.

Is it because the intimacy that blood is mixed still remains strangely the reason why he treats them so innocently?

Some people may be envious of Tanya, who is treated without fault by Ed.

“Brother, please save me… ”

“… What?”

“I… that… ”

Tanya pondered what to say, and her tail twitched. It was hard to figure out how to get out of luck.

Thank you for raising Roth Taylor’s prestige and always running around hard.

It’s a bit silly to even say that. Ed just worked hard on his own, and Tanya is Roth Taylor’s next successor before being the student council president. It is not appropriate to say that you should work hard in moderation with such a status.

“… What? Have you ever been in trouble?”

“that… Let me explain… It’s a bit complicated… ”

“Tell me. Don’t worry about yourself.”

It feels like tears of gratitude are coming to my eyes at Ed’s active expression of his intention to help, but… In fact, most of the problems were caused by Ed himself.

It’s funny to blame Ed, though, and Tanya was crazy and crazy about it.

“Does this have anything to do with convening this meeting?”

“yes?”

“Suddenly, only the sons of nobles were selected and summoned, so I was curious what your intentions were.”

“Oh, no… This is a completely different matter.”

Tanya shook her head and spoke clearly to Ed.

“In the future, I will… I think I’m going to have a nerve battle with Princess Sellaha. Before and after the unified competition planned for this semester.”

Tanya was always crying and struggling, but she had a clear plan for the future.

No matter how much she grumbles, she is a girl who is always clear about her course of action.

“Before that, you need to have insurance in place to avoid any aftermath.”

“insurance?”

“The competition for the emperor is a competition for the emperor, and a bachelor is called a bachelor… I was going to announce it to everyone.”

Only then did Ed Roth Taylor read Tanya’s intentions.

If you want to catch Princess Selaha, who has the most aggressive policy against the Roth Taylor family, you need to lay the groundwork for it from now on.

When Tanya, a former Duke of Roth Taylor, starts a confrontation with Princess Selaha… The family that supports Princess Selaha will not stand still.

The aftermath of the conflict is sure to affect the Sylvania Academy, so I was planning to take a preemptive response to alleviate it to some extent in advance.

The imperial strife is a political strife, and we must practice the virtue of learning as we do.

Let’s not bring the imperial strife to Sylvania, the land of learning. It is not polite to this land of study to obscure the atmosphere of a bachelor with a pointless faction fight.

It was meant to convey that message to everyone.

“Will that be what I thought?”

Ed was skeptical. Of course, so was Tanya.

“Still, I can’t do it. I didn’t want to see Sylvania split in half because of the supremacy race.”

Tanya slowly closed her eyes, opened them, and spoke.

“Princess Selaha will also come to Sylvania as an observer for this unified competition. Active members of the Imperial Knights Templar and Magic Research Society will also come to see the skills of the students. Among them, there are those who fight directly with students. In the name of teaching the students who will be responsible for the future of this country.”

It is not easy for students to defeat knights and wizards who are playing active duty in the imperial family.

It is very unusual, and although students with skills comparable to those of active duty appear, it is still compared to ordinary active duty students.

Among the active duty officers, the top-ranked personnel of the imperial family who remained as legends… It’s really different class. If someone like the Knights Commander Dylux or the president of the Imperial Magic Society jumps out, he will never be able to compete with the students.

Of course, that’s the story of when Lucy Meryl was hit off-topic.

“I have some plans that I made for that time. It hasn’t been materialized yet, but I think there will be a way to give a meaningful blow to Princess Selaha’s position.”

For Ed Roth Taylor, there is no reason to stop.

Princess Persica was persuaded, and Princess Fenia was an ally in the first place.

When Velbrok descends, his goal is to have the imperial army stationed on Aken Island… If you get rid of the last variable, Princess Selaha, all your worries will disappear.

If the task is to remove that last variable… Rather, they are in a position to roll up their arms and help.

“okay. If you have any concerns, tell me right away. I will help you out as much as possible.”

“worry… worry… I mean… ”

“… Are you also having trouble with something? You’ve been crying ever since.”

“… I really think I’m going to die, bro… ”

Tanya could not stand it, wearing a porridge in the end, and spoke.

“As the head of the household, taking responsibility for the family is difficult, but I want to give up my position as student council president… ”

Finally said…

Tanya took a deep breath as if she had done a great job, and continued talking straight to Ed.

“If I go on like this, I might die of overwork… I… I want to quit the student council president… ”

“… ”

“Ugh… By the way… Even if you try to be the youngest, you interpret it in a strange way, only the supporters are gathered, and no matter where you try to argue, Ed’s brother-in-law has played it… ”

“… ”

“Actually, I was tired of housekeeper work. You said it last time. It seems like you just spilled it, but I mean, I was sincere in my own way… When the family is stable to some extent… just… I want to retire… ugh… ”

Then, Tanya suddenly grabbed Ed’s hands and spoke as if he were asking for it.

“Hey, this is what happened… When work is done, can’t my brother, Ed, gossip about me and go? what is it… You know, I had a bad personality when I was in the Roth Taylor mansion, or something like that! In fact, in the first semester, I acted like I was going to kill my brother, so there are probably a few scenes that I can use as a basis for myself!”

“If I gossip about my younger brother, who has one, won’t my image get worse than yours?”

“How much damage would it take to drive someone like me to be an ugly bastard!”

“you… I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but you already have a lot of support within the academic community… Slowly, this is a burden for me as well.”

“why! why! Why are you like that!”

“… ”

Ed lowered his gaze for a moment, and then spoke as if hesitantly.

“You’re already in a position to receive support from the academic side, the business side, the church side, and the imperial family’s dormitory. It’s the first time in Sylvanian history… In fact, it has risen to an irreplaceable position from the standpoint of a bachelor.”

“… ”

“If you resign as president now, the academic loss will not be the same… I wouldn’t leave it like that… ”

Tanya put her hands on Ed’s hands with a pale face. And, without regard to the messy, well-groomed blonde hair, he shook his head with both hands.

“that… then… ! There is no way out! Then how do I… !”

– Bang!

At that moment, the door to the small meeting room opened like crazy.

All the noble children who were waiting for Tanya were seated inside.

“Are you here!!! President Tanya!!!!!”

“I was waiting!! Please eat inside!!!!!”

Student council members shouting with respect in a loyal tone. He bowed his back 90 degrees and said hello.

Only the middle seat is empty. Everyone was waiting only for Tanya with respect.

Tanya felt tears welling up in her eyes.
