149 – Rumors of the Academy – 3
“… … Aren’t most of them true?”
“what?”
Academy’s vice-chancellor’s office.
There, Levinport and I were sitting across from each other over tea and talking about the current situation.
“Think about it. Isn’t it true that Rosé is acquainted with the Grand Dukes of the Demon World? That’s three of the Grand Dukes of the Pandemonium, of which there are only four.”
“… … yes.”
“And two of them are contractual.”
“Right.”
“The other one is scheduled for a contract.”
“right.”
“Do you know what they call you when you have three grand dukes under your command? is the king king. Then, isn’t it strange that Rosé is called the Demon King?”
Levinport, who expresses his opinion in an orderly manner. Something, something not… … . It’s hard to refute.
“Is that all? Isn’t the emperor of the empire already obsessed with you and sending donations? In the past, you threatened the president and ripped off the elixir, didn’t you?”
“It was a right to receive.”
“Yeah, there must have been. But the reason is not known to all other students.”
“… … So, are you saying you can’t help?”
After hearing my story, Levinport quenches his throat with tea and looks at me.
“Anyway, it seems that this was spread too maliciously by someone. You know that Gregory Jones? In fact, there is a crime called timely defamation in the dimension of other summons.”
“… … what?”
“Even if you tell the truth as it is, it means that if you defame the person in question, you should be punished.”
“Can there be such a ridiculous law?”
“I was surprised when I first heard it. Even if you tell the truth, you have to be punished. Anyway, what this shows is that no matter how true it may be, it could be a crime. This is it.”
“… … Didn’t you say it wasn’t true?”
“Is it important? After all, it doesn’t matter that someone maliciously spread the rumor.”
Having said that, she crossed her legs and nodded.
“As for the person who spread the rumor, I will try to find out on my own. You better not expect too much.”
“Thank you for that alone.”
“Thank you. It’s a disciple’s job. By the way, I just received a report from Marvas… … . you guys. What the hell did you do in Delinia?”
Suddenly the story took a different turn.
“Delinia?”
Could it be that you wrote the report all day last night?
“… … The academy’s teaching job must be tough. Could it be that he stopped by Paimon and wrote a report right away?”
“Hoo? Paimon? Were the rumors true?”
Levinport says with a smile that he is having fun at my muttering.
really… …
“Isn’t that a fact you already know anyway? There’s no way you didn’t know that Paimon existed in Sumonia.”
“Well what? That’s something I don’t know. That story ends here. Is it true that the followers of Naberius moved?”
I nodded my head at Levinfort’s words to erase his smile and get back to the point.
“Yes, they said they tried to revive Lily with necromancy and use it for their propaganda hero.”
While talking, I remembered the scene where Rosé shouted Dragon Breath and fired fire, and I burst into laughter.
“… … I was able to block it thanks to the Dragon Breath you told Rosé about.”
Levinfort looked at me with a surprised expression, as if he hadn’t seen this story in the report.
“That child? I remember telling you about it, but I remember never using it… … . It seems to have succeeded in the end. Even though it’s not a dragon, it’s an elf that shoots a breath… … . Surely it wouldn’t be strange to be the Demon Lord?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“I heard you.”
Levinfort stood up from his seat with a smile at the end of those words.
“Anyway, thanks to you, I was able to find out what the disaster side was doing. so… … We should hold a meeting.”
It’s a meeting hosted by Levinport… … .
“When you say conference, do you mean continental conference?”
“Yeah, I never thought I’d aim for Lily’s grave. That means you can target heroes from other countries. really… … . I thought it was a long break, but I guess I’ll be busy again.”
Despite returning to the academy after a long time, she is still busy with work.
“Then, will there be no supplementary classes now?”
I asked her just in case… … .
“No way. The convocation of this meeting will be held by the academy. We cannot give up on our children who will become our future.”
With those words, she left the vice-president’s office.
“… … You are still a busy woman.”
So, what should we do? I told the leadership team, I told the president, and I just told the vice president.
Then, the only thing left is the student council.
“… … Shall we go?”
The vice president’s office is the only one left. After taking the last sip left in the teacup, I stood up and walked towards my next destination, the student council room.
* * *
“How did you find me?”
When I knocked on the door of the room marked [Student Council Room], I was greeted by a calm-looking girl wearing glasses.
Judging by the color of his tie, he must be a sophomore. Apparently, he was one of the members of the student council.
“I am Gregory Jones, a summons of first year Roger von Euglia. I came to see the student council president for a while.”
“Ah, you’re the rumor… … .”
Did the student council know about it?
No, it would be even weirder not knowing… … .
“So, the student council president is inside?”
“Are you talking about the president? I’m sorry, but the president–“
“It happened. Take them inside.”
“yes? Ah yes! I’ll see you inside. Gregory Jones.”
The woman who had opened the door so that only her body could be seen opens it fully and bows her head towards me.
The scenery of the student council room seen through the open door. Certainly, it was the student council room that boasted a pretty fancy interior as it was the most powerful among the academy student organizations.
“… … Then, excuse me.”
As I passed her and entered the student council room, the guys inside began to look at me intrigued.
curiosity, vigilance, surprise
In the student council room where I felt various emotions, there was a woman who was looking at me with eyes that were particularly curious about me.
“You are the hero of the Empire who protected the Empire from the Holy Church. Prince Gregory Jones. I guess?”
A woman tilting her head with her white feet raised on the desk as if expressing herself as the president with her body.
“Then you must be the student council president of the academy.”
“… … That’s right.”
That woman with long purple hair and giggling as if having fun is the current senior at Summoner Academy.
Standing at the pinnacle of students.
“Nice to meet you. Gregory Jones Ball. Her name is Scarlet Rune Gerstol. Although he is lacking in body, he is undeservedly the one who is in charge of the student council president of the summoner academy.”
He was the student council president of this summoner academy.
“Ike, a guest has come, but his attitude is a bit… that’s right.”
She gets up from her seat and comes over to me and gives me her hand.
Are you trying to fight from the first meeting?
FYI, I’ve never avoided a fight that came my way.
“If the student council president cares about me and welcomes me like this, then I should be polite too.
Immediately in front of her, he transforms into the shape of a wheel. Scarlett frowns for a moment at the sparkling flash.
“Nice to meet you. Student council president. I am Gregory Jones. The grand duke of Pandemonium… I am the summoned beast of first year Roger Von Euglia.”
He smiled at the guy and extended one of his arms to her, except for the two supporting the ground.
The student council president flinched and trembled at this. The expression on her face as she looks at me hardens.
“Hmm? Why is that, student council president? Isn’t his expression quite hardened?”
“Hiccup——!”
The student council president’s body flinched. I trembled.
A stiff expression, a pupil shaking violently, and… …
The fear felt in her.
But soon, mana surged around her, and the tremors soon subsided.
“This is the true face of Prince Gregory, which I’ve only heard about through rumors. hahahaha, it’s more amazing than I thought…”
Did you use a fear-resistance skill like Lion Heart?
Unlike her previous appearance, Scarlett, who has become calmer, smiles and grabs the hand I gave her and shakes it.
No matter how much fear resistance skills you use, you grab my hand right away? It took a long time for Rose to touch me directly, right?
Apparently, the level of skills he used seemed to be high as he was the senior in the third year.
“Now, have a seat first. Jenny? I’ll ask the customer for some tea.”
“Ahh, yes, yes? Four? Yes!”
Unlike Scarlett, who seemed proud, the woman called Jenny, who had greeted me just before, turned around with a trembling look and slowly walked towards the tea set.
“And, if Prince Gregory is okay with it, why don’t you stop acting like that?”
As she said, all the other student council members who were looking at me were either trembling or turned their heads away, reluctant to look at me as much as possible.
“I apologize for the rudeness I had before. Please.”
“It’s rude, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’ll do as you say.”
When the transformation was canceled, the fear energy that had been encroaching on the surroundings slowly began to disappear.
Obviously, in the student council, there must be a mix of 2nd and 3rd year students as well as 1st year students.
Seeing that my image resonates with them, it seems that I also became a 5-star and became more prone to fear by people around me.
“Hu, you look much more handsome that way. Now, then, would you like to sit down first? Oh, Jenny. Let me ask you for some tea for your guest.”
“Yes, four? Yes?! Yes!”
A woman hurries to the place where the Sucker Tea Set is located, as if she has not properly overcome the shock of the moment. Is your name Jenny? I decided to remember
“So, may I ask what reason Prince Gregory came to our student council?”
As soon as I sat down at the seat she guided me to, she asked me about the purpose of my coming, as if she was going to get straight to the point.
Hmm, I’m going to ask the main point right away without wasting time.
wouldn’t be bad
“Recently, I came to ask if you know anything about the rumors floating around about me and my summoner, Roger von Euglia. Do you have any insights?”
“Oh, is that what you mean?”
Scarlett, who hears my words and immediately reacts and raises herself.
“I’m sure it was a rumor that you and your summons were trying to conquer the academy and the empire, right? Prince Gregory over there is enslaving women. Hmm…… Certainly, with that appearance, he’d be enough to attack other women. Ah, my taste. It’s not, but it is.”
“……So, is there any information you know about the person who started the rumor?”
“Ah, did you come to ask that? You didn’t come to ask a more serious question than I thought. I thought you came to challenge the student council again, did you?”
Scarlett, who said that with a smile, looked at me with a serious expression and opened her mouth.
“Fortunately, I can answer that question. Then, what would you offer me as a condition of information? Prince Gregory.”
I never thought you would make an offer here.
Pay for information… … . Is this coming out fun?
“If you bring peace to the academy and the student council. Would you give me information?”
“A price like that, I don’t think we’ll lose easily if that’s the case… Hmm. Judging by the expression on his face, he doesn’t seem to be joking, right?”
Scarlett smiled at first, perhaps taking it as a joke, then looked at me with a straight face.
I just smiled at her question.
