148 – Rumors of the Academy – 2
I came out of class to find the guy who started the rumor, but I didn’t know where to start.
Where, is there no place to get help? while thinking about it. Suddenly, I thought of a guy who could help me with this task.
“He might be able to help.”
I move my steps straight away and move my steps to the place where the guy is likely to be.
[Poor leadership]
As soon as I opened the classroom door with all my might, I heard someone shouting from inside.
“What kind of guy dares to open the door to the poor leadership room like that!”
Looking roughly in the direction where the sound came from, I saw the image of one of the guys who ran away after seeing me in the past.
“Let the kid fall. Where is Amel?”
As I looked around the area looking for Amel, I asked, and the leading member next to the kid cautiously stood up and opened his mouth.
“The lead manager hasn’t come to work yet.”
“okay? Then, when will Amel come?”
“You usually go to work as soon as the morning inquiry is over, so you should be back soon.”
“… … is it.”
“Yes, so please sit here and wait a moment.”
I was guided by him and sat down on one of the chairs in the lead room.
“oh.”
A level of comfort that is difficult to feel usually covers the back and hips. I wonder if he is the leader of the academy after all. The furniture used was something different.
‘Senior, are you really going to keep him here until the manager comes?’
‘You stupid bastard. So can you kick him out? Did you suffer like that last time?!’
‘That’s why I can’t just leave a guy who isn’t even a leader here!’
‘Have you not heard the rumors going around lately? That person is the pet of the bully elf!’
‘yes? Are you talking about Rosepa? That, the Rose group that the imperial princess, Priscilla-sama, and the first-year Necromancer belong to?’
‘Yeah, you stupid bastard! Shut up if you understand and I’m praying for the manager to come soon!’
… … It seemed that rumors were spreading even to the poor.
No matter how many times I hear it, it’s just a rumor, so why do I believe it so much?
I don’t quite understand
Inside the quiet leadership room. It was a time when I was sitting quietly and quietly reading a novel that I had put in my mental space.
“I-over there… … . Seo-senpai, have some tea and wait while you wait… … .”
Ride on, ride on.
The hand of the guy holding the coffee cup was shaking.
When I glanced up, the guy who had been arguing with me at first was staring at me with a pale face.
“… … What were you so afraid of?”
“Yes, yes?”
“I won’t eat you, so don’t be too scared. and… … Don’t drink coffee.”
“Ah, yes!”
After receiving the coffee from the guy, I quenched my thirst.
Still, do you serve coffee as a guest? Normally, it seemed that Amell had properly educated his juniors.
How long has it been since you spent time drinking coffee like that?
“I am here.”
A woman with blue hair and a ponytail walks through the door without hesitation.
“It’s really fortunate that there is a leadership team meeting in the first period. It was math from the first period, and I was lucky.”
She brushes her hair back and casually walks toward the inside of the lead room.
“You must have prepared all the materials for the meeting, right?”
“Ah, yes. But manager, the meeting isn’t the problem.”
“hmm? What do you mean?”
Amel, who had only been talking about herself without paying attention to her surroundings, stood still.
“… … Take a look over there.”
“huh?”
Amel turns her head in the direction indicated by the leading member. Soon, our eyes meet with me, who was drinking coffee.
“Long time no see. Amel.”
“… … Gregory? What are you doing here?”
“Ohhh, now I don’t kick them out without asking.”
“Yeah, isn’t that a thing of the past! More than that, what’s the point of you coming to the lead room? Perhaps, he came to declare a war between Rosepa and the leadership team… … .”
“… … Do you believe that stupid rumor too?”
“what?!”
At his reaction, I let out a sigh and continued talking.
“You don’t know us after fighting together like that in the empire? Did you see us as a force trying to overthrow the Academy by setting up a really strange organization?”
“That, that’s not it… … .”
“But you believe those rumors?”
“Oh, how could that be! It’s just a story told as a joke. Big, big! So, is the reason you came here because of that rumor?”
But fortunately, Amel guesses the reason I came at once. I nodded and affirmed her words.
“Yes, that monstrous rumor that is circulating in the academy right now. We are trying to find the source of the rumor.”
“… … Are you looking for the source of the rumor? Do you think that makes sense? The number of students in all grades reached 300, and that is the Summoner Academy. By the way, among those 300 people, you’re going to find the person who spread the rumor? Do you think that makes sense?”
Amel seems genuinely impossible. He frowned and said that to me.
Well, if it comes out like that, I have no choice but to use the method I’ve thought of beforehand.
“Right. Finding the source of rumors in the academy is next to impossible… … . Then, Amel, even if rumors spread that you are a manneken, you won’t be able to find the source of the rumor.”
“——What?!”
“I can’t help it. Then I have no choice but to find a way on my own.”
As I stood up from my seat and tried to leave the lead room, I heard urgent footsteps behind me and grabbed my shoulder.
“… … You can find it!”
“okay? Didn’t you just say you couldn’t find it?”
“That’s what I was saying that normal students are hard to find. We are the leading team that can be called the elite of Summoner Academy. Finding the source of the rumor is a piece of cake… … !”
“… … okay?”
“okay! So trust me!”
“Good. Then please don’t Amel. When this job is done well… … Those rumors involving you will be buried forever.”
“… … understood.”
“Good.”
After patting Amell on the shoulder, he left the lead room.
If others see it, they may think it’s like a devil, but what can they do? i am the devil
It was very natural for a devil to act like a devil, so there was no corner that stung his heart.
“… … Well then, I guess I’ll have to find the guys I need help with next.”
As I walked through the academy’s hallways, I began to think of people who could use my strength at the academy one by one.
“… … hmm. It wouldn’t hurt to go to the president first and threaten him.”
It was a summoner academy whose stock price had skyrocketed thanks to the recent work in the empire. If we say that we, the main cause of the stock price rise, are suffering from these rumors, the president will step in. good. First, let’s go see the president.
“After that, it wouldn’t hurt to ask the vice-chancellor.”
Levinport was also an existence that could be said to be the real power of the academy. She probably has an intelligence agency within the academy as well. It wouldn’t hurt to ask her for help.
Lately, he seems to be loving Rosé a lot, so I was sure that he would easily do my favor.
“and… … Is there?”
The student council of Summoner Academy.
It is an academy organization that has never been in conflict, and an organization that can be said to be an organization where the elite of the academy gather like a leader.
“Student Council.”
It was an organization with the ability to disseminate information to students faster than any other place.
* * *
Fortunately, is it because it has already raised the status of the academy? Even though I didn’t make an appointment with the president’s office, I was able to enter directly.
“Who is this! The pride of our academy! Aren’t you Archduke Gregory Jones!”
As soon as I opened the door to the president’s office and entered, the president stood up and welcomed me with open arms.
“Long time no see. President.”
“Yes? It’s been a while. Thanks to our Gregory Jones and Miss Rose, how much I can live these days~ hehehehe, well, do you know how much money came in from the Empire? Would you be surprised to hear it?”
It must have been a fairly large sum, the president stroking his blushing cheek and smiling.
“Thanks should be received as an elixir rather than words. If you have achieved this much, you will be able to open the magic high school, right?”
“Of course~ Our lucky ones! President Lee spares no support for talented people!”
I thought it would bounce once, but the president immediately accepted my proposal.
How much did you really get… … ?
“By the way, what are you doing here all of a sudden without an appointment? By any chance, do you have plans to receive donations from anywhere else?! How can I make something like a long-term attendance certificate?”
“Is that okay?”
A nobleman whose name is the president?
“Sure~ If you’ve been far away lately, you’ve been growing like this——of course. Ho-ho-ho!”
You just want to go out and make some money.
“… … Marvas will report soon, but I recently solved a case in Delinia, so donations will come in there as well.”
“… … yes? Really?”
“I defeated the followers of Naberius who were trying to rob the tomb of Lily von Euglia. It will be reported to the highest meeting of Delinia soon, so you can check it out.”
“Oh, no wait, when did Delinia go again and what the heck are you doing robbing Lily von Euglia’s tomb—— what are you doing? You and Miss Rose!”
“Aren’t you making donations?”
“Oh, yes! donation… … ! How much will it cost for this… … . whooping… … .”
“So, I have a request for you.”
“Please? What request do you need? I will do anything you ask for within the limits of my ability.”
In Delinia following Empire, the president finished calculating how much money would come in and said, raising the corner of his mouth.
After all, are people supposed to do good things? I felt like things were unraveling.
“Recently, there have been malicious rumors going around the academy about me, Rosé, Priscilla and Tequila. rector. I hope you will do your best to find out the source of the rumors.”
“A rumor? Rumors maliciously undermining the fortunes of our academy, not other people… … ?”
puduk–
The ballpoint pen the president was holding broke in half.
“As much as you like. I’ll do my best to find out. Oh, you’re not thinking of transferring to another academy because of these rumors, are you?”
Also, was that what you were afraid of?
I smiled at her and said softly.
“I don’t know. However, the children looked very difficult.”
“yes?! Gee, really?! Are you really going somewhere else?!”
I turned around and went out of the president’s office.
From behind, in a pitiful voice, ‘Please stop it somehow! I’ll look for it!’ Judging from the president’s cry, it seemed that my plan worked perfectly.
“… … Is the vice-president’s office next?”
Alright then.
How should our lizard be threatened?
