I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City chapter 44

44 - Entrance Examination (9)

44 – Entrance Examination (9)

“President.”

Lu watched Noah leave with calm eyes.

“Did you wait for him?”

At Lu’s words, the chairman neither affirmed nor denied.

However, thanks to that reaction, Lu was convinced.

“I’ve been curious about this for a long time. Why does the president force himself to continue his tenure even while violating unwritten rules?”

It wasn’t just her curiosity.

Starting with the student council she belongs to, the board of directors and the council of representatives, and even the students and instructors of each school.

The reappointment of the president was seen as an incomprehensible eccentricity to the extent that it was included in the 7 wonders of Academy City.

“Humanity’s secret weapon, the breakwater of city invasion, the search for demons, etc. Even if countless rumors surfaced and disappeared, the chairman responded with silence.”

Why didn’t you reveal your intentions?

Maybe there is a reason why I shouldn’t reveal my intentions.

At the time, Lu, who was not a member of the student council, also pondered about it, but it was a problem that was not resolved until the end.

And time passed.

Now that Lu entered the school and became the head of the leading department.

She was able to hear the reason directly from the chairman.

“Didn’t the chairman tell you? He said that he is here only to subdue the demon king.”

And the chairman proved the cause by persuading the general director and control AI to extend the term, which could have been seen as dictatorship at first glance.

“There will come a moment when you need this position someday. The chairman told me so.”

As if to insist on that, he gathered support from inside and outside the city and reigned as the president of the General Academy for a period of eight years.

“Honestly, it was hard to understand.”

Right after that, Lu turned her gaze and stared at the chairman.

Her expressionless eyes were directed at her over her tightly bitten lips.

“Why are you struggling so hard? Why are you so obsessed with the position of chairman? Do you really need the position of chairman?”

For eight years, he put in a lot of effort to keep his position.

While gaining support inside the city by catering to the board of directors and the assembly, he built a solid base of support by doing business with key nationalities outside the city.

At the same time, he gives legitimacy to his reappointment by leading public opinion through the media.

──However, there are limits to that.

“As time went on, the voices of dissatisfaction among the students grew louder. The reason was that it was too much for them to continue their tenure even after graduating, no matter how strong they were.”

I really didn’t have anything to refute.

In the first place, too much was right.

Which student will retain his position after graduating?

For the current students, the reappointment of the president must have been an act no different from violence.

“But the chairman ignored it and tried to forcefully retain the presidency.”

Lu looked at him with a serious expression.

“It wasn’t like a president.”

Because the president she’s seen so far hasn’t shown the appearance of a person who sits in a high seat and hangs on his neck with power.

Except for the seat of the chairman.

“But that doesn’t make sense.”

Lu said so.

At the same time, eyes filled with unparalleled confidence turned to him.

“In the first place, from the moment the president graduated, student president general wasn’t a very attractive position to you.”

Of course.

No matter how strong the student council president’s power is, it’s true that the light wants it compared to the warriors who fight to the death with the demons directly on the front line.

No one dared to ignore the current chairman because he had been active in the forefront several times after going through a long period of dictatorship, but even the former chairman did not exist to put them on the same level as the active warriors.

… Apart from actual strength.

As the president of the student council, he will be stronger than most of the warriors, but even so, he is perceived as a student.

As the perception that he was a newcomer to the warrior industry was strong, it was natural for the existing active warriors to look down on him.

“Honestly, if you want to raise your status as a hero, it’s most effective to go to the front line, right? It’s easy to earn points and there are countless opportunities to make your name known.”

In fact, most of the top-tier warriors live on the front lines.

It is a structure in which merit is accumulated and reputation rises by hunting demons large and small on the front line.

“The modern warrior system works like that.”

For example, even in the monthly warriors magazine published by the warriors association, most of the rankings remain at the forefront.

It’s not that there aren’t people who are active in the rear and raise points, but it’s true that the chances are significantly less compared to the warriors on the front lines.

In fact, such people are putting their names at the top of the list.

“But the chairman didn’t do that. Even though he had skills.”

Lou knows.

How strong the chairman is.

The hundreds of battles she had with him made her imprint the strength of her chairman on her head and body.

She had no doubt that his strength must be of a different rank among the warriors.

Yes.

That’s why it’s strange.

“A person who is certain to be a ranker kicks out that honorable position and stays as student council president?”

“…Even after seeing this, he’s already the 2nd ranked hero.”

“That’s the conclusion. During the battle to recapture the holy land, the king of spirits recommended you to go to the front. Fortunately, the circumstances were right and you subdued the Four Heavenly Kings together with the rankers. You didn’t become the president with that in mind.”

Just looking at his contributions right now, most of them were obtained by killing the Four Heavenly Kings.

That’s because it’s so vast.

It is not safe to say that his achievements as a warrior depended on luck.

In such a situation, saying that both the student council president and active duty hero accomplished it is just a conclusion theory.

“What if the young king didn’t recommend the chairman that day? Or, even if he recommended you, Academy City was attacked by demons and you had to pay more attention to that?”

That’s why Lu thought.

For the subjugation of the Demon King, it would be better for him to give up the presidency.

The position of student council president is nothing but shackles to him.

Lu thought so and said to the chairman.

“I honestly think that if the Chairman had stayed on the front lines, he would have taken the Holy Land back by now.”

The chairman, who had been quietly closing his eyes at Lou’s confident words, slowly opened his mouth.

“…I am.”

However, Lou’s voice interrupted the president’s words as he struggled to open his mouth.

“I know. The president must have had his own thoughts. Me too and everyone who supports you believes in you. Yes, I’m sure of that.”

“…….”

“Subjugation of the demon lord. It’s difficult. It’s such a tough road that only a handful of successful cases have been found so far. But we believe that the chairman will succeed. We wanted to see the path you were going on.”

Respect and admiration, friendship and trust, etc.

All sorts of emotions overflowed in Lu’s heart.

That’s why.

That’s why Lou gritted his teeth at the moment.

She calmed her rising breasts by grabbing her, and then vented her anger toward her president.

“But this isn’t it.”

“…….”

Lu remembered the image of Noah.

She didn’t even notice her own presence, so she was easily captured.

He was interrogated after arriving at the cadet corps and cried pathetically.

Finally, when he realized the strength of himself and the president, he even looked down at once.

That kind of guy is the person the president has been waiting for?

Are you saying that ‘that’ chairman has been looking for the future for 8 years?

‘I can’t admit it.’

I can’t admit it.

He.

To think that the only person the president trusts in the future is a guy like that.

“I can’t admit that it’s only useful in subjugating the demon lord.”

If you’re going to raise such a halfway guy, give up your chairmanship and go to the frontlines right now.

As she vomited out her words of determination, her chairman, who had been listening to her, met her gaze with her.

“Yes. I understand.”

“Then…!”

“Surely the one I’ve been waiting for is Noah.”

The chairman nodded his head.

I have no intention of denying that.

After all, Lou was a kid who followed him like his older brother.

Sometimes he jokes around and sometimes climbs violently, but on the other hand, if it is judged to be harmful to me, Lou is a child who has the ability to get rid of it without hesitation.

And.

That’s why she couldn’t leave Lu as she is now.

“You don’t seem to like Noah.”

“…Not that I don’t particularly like it.”

Lu, who lost his temper at the president’s calm reaction, said so.

“I have been the chairman for a long time.”

I admit it.

He lasted too long to even think about it.

“Everything is for the subjugation of the demon lord.”

“…….”

“That is unmistakably sincere.”

“But Noah…”

“Noah is the son of the warrior of light.”

“……!”

Lu, who was about to object, widened his eyes and was stunned by the words that followed.

“It’s okay to talk now.”

“What are you talking about…”

“It’s literally. Noah is the son of Alex, the warrior of light.”

Tell Lou, whose eyes are wide open, the truth once again.

“Of course, Noah is weak now. He is so weak that he can’t help himself.”

“……”

“But if he were Alex’s child, he would have inherited the peculiar growth.”

“……!”

At the chairman’s words, Lou drew in a breath.

She couldn’t have known.

Alex, the Hero of Light, the legendary hero who subdued the former Demon King.

And the explosive growth rate he was said to have!

“And I checked it today.”

“Whoops!”

Even during the transfer ceremony, I felt uneasy.

With this meeting, I was able to be sure.

Yes, what are you hiding?

“System. The unknown technology that grasps the power you and I have will take the life of the demon king.”

“System! That’s what I told you earlier…”

The fact that there is a system that only the original protagonist can have is a sure proof that Noah is the main character of this season!

“Even if the beginning is weak, the end will be great.”

Noah may look weak now, but his growth will exceed our expectations.

Lu, who took a small breath at the president’s words, immediately asked with a nervous expression.

“Then, how far does the Chairman think Noah will grow?”

“I should have said. I will subdue the demon lord.”

“Then…”

“Yes, I will become the strongest on the continent.”

The Seven Great Powers.

Among them, sword gods and demon gods belong to the upper ranks.

You will stand above them and lead them.

Also, the god of war at their apex……

‘…I’m not here to win, so let’s stop.’

The Chairman, who gave up lightly, looked straight ahead and watched Lu who was filled with joy.

Lu, who was holding her whole body with her arms and intermittently twitching her body, looked like anyone could see that she was in ecstasy.

‘Hmm. Did the switch turn on?’

She had always had a fighting spirit, so hearing her own explanation must have fueled her sense of self-righteousness.

Even Noah was someone she already judged weak.

Perhaps by now she feels like she has found a pearl in the desert.

‘Besides, as long as Noah has the system, she will become really exponentially stronger, so from her point of view, she must feel like fighting a new opponent every day.’

Explosive growth means that.

Recalling the stronger Noah, the president nodded her head.

Perhaps Lu also instinctively noticed that fact.

“So, now you understand why I waited?”

“…Yes.”

Immediately after hearing the president’s words, Lu, who tried to calm her down, asked.

“But the chairman.”

“Huh?”

“I know Noah is no ordinary kid. I know she has potential that I didn’t know about.”

“Hmm.”

“But why didn’t you tell me that beforehand?”

No matter how much it was, couldn’t you tell yourself this important fact?

With such a protest, Lu glared at the chairman.

However, the chairman who received such a stare shook his head with a calm expression.

“No, that’s difficult.”

“Why!”

“Because it was necessary to conceal information until he entered Academy City.”

“Concealing information?”

“Lu, if there is a person you want to kill the most, what do you think is the easiest way to kill it?”

“Assassination… I guess?”

“Yes, it would be even better if the target of assassination was a weak-willed ordinary person.”

“……Ah.”

It was only then that Lou realized the intention of the conversation and exclaimed.

“That’s why it was covered up.”

“Yes, in Academy City, there is also Hi-Ho, so how can I protect him?”

But.

“It’s difficult before entering Academy City.”

“But if it’s Noah’s hometown, isn’t he there?”

“Yes, there will be Sir Alex. Of course, there will also be his wife, Lady Elise. A reasonable amount of threats can be dealt with sufficiently with the two of them.”

“Then…!”

──But they are human.

“Can I live while protecting Noah with a body that has already returned her holy sword at the point where it has already passed its heyday?”

The president remembers.

Before he even became the president.

The time I visited Beheite Kingdom to find Alex.

{Go back.}

{Sir Alex has an important business.}

{Alex hasn’t met anyone since the subjugation. Go back.}

{Even once is fine. It’s fine just once, so let’s meet.}

{It is impossible. ‘Inviolable’ Was what he offered as a reward for subjugating the demon lord. On behalf of all beings on the continent, I must repay the savior for his activities.}

To the king who thoroughly hides Alex’s family and hides his whereabouts, the chairman had no choice but to turn his steps without meeting him.

And the Inviolability That the king spoke of at that time.

To ask for something like that in exchange for the right to enjoy all the wealth and glory in the world meant only one thing.

‘Alex himself felt that it was not easy to live while protecting his wife and child.’

His reputation increased after subduing the demon king.

The jealousy and envy of those around him.

To the demons who must have a grudge against them for killing the demon king.

Even the existence of Noah, who was born under such circumstances.

All of this must have felt like a burden to him.

‘It might have felt even bigger right after the mission was completed.’

No matter how high your level is, as long as you’re a human, you’ll die if you attack a vital point.

It would be too much to ask for the level of an active fighter even with a body past its prime.

In fact, if Alex’s strength had been maintained until now, his name would still be engraved in the Seven Great Powers.

‘But that’s not the case.’

With a body that had already returned the Holy Sword and withdrew from the frontlines, it was a long way from regaining its former skills.

Because he expected that, he must have wanted something like that as a subjugation reward.

Thinking of that, the chairman nodded slowly.

‘It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t meet him, but on the other hand, if there hadn’t been an inviolability, Noah’s presence would have spread all over the continent.’

In that case, the information would have leaked out to the demon side naturally.

And if that happens——

‘The ending is obvious.’

He must have been visited by Death or the other Four Heavenly Kings who had a grudge against him.

No matter how much Alex is, he will not be able to capture the Four Heavenly Kings alone unless he has the Holy Sword, so he could have met the bad ending as it was.

‘In that respect, did King Behite make the right decision?’

He was so resourceful that he defended the universe with all the hands of the whole continent, including the chairman, so it can be said that his skills are really great.

‘Yeah, how perfectly can Noah know anything about it?’

You don’t even know that your father is the hero who saved the world.

It was a part that showed how great the information control at the national level was.
