“The 1388th midterm exam chief, Rain Ludwig!”
At the moment of bewilderment when her name was called, Lane raised her fist involuntarily. I couldn’t figure out what the logic was.
It was just that my heart was beating recklessly.
– Only the top graduates of ＜Delayten＞ get the chance to see Rin’s corpse.
Are you one step closer?
Did you take a step forward?
It felt like I was taking away this position against the green and green juniors for 300 years, so I felt uncomfortable on the one hand… … Still can’t help it.
“When I first heard about it from Kat, I thought it was long, but I never thought you would become the chief cadet.”
Madelia Page came forward and attached a keelstone gleaming reflective cord to her uniform cape.
“It is a mark of being a senior cadet. If you don’t want to be taken away, you’d better do your best.”
The cadets, who were dumbfounded and doubting their ears, finally began to speak out.
“Wow, is this a true story?”
“That genius Confucius is the chief cadet?”
“I beat all of the late indexes of the Eight Great Schools!”
Subsequently, the second, third and fourth cadets were announced. The second seat was Krista Warden, who everyone expected to be the first, Nora Redon in the third seat, and Caden in the fourth seat.
“Hmm ♪”
Nora’s eyes lit up as she looked at Lane with more interest than expected, while Caden just stared silently ahead.
“… … .”
On the other hand, Krista and the girl, who were staring blankly at Lane’s profile, shook their heads and bit their lips.
‘I will accept this defeat. Because he admitted that he had already lost in the labyrinth test.’
The seat of the chief who was taken away for the first time… … The aftertaste was spicy, not bitter. The taste of the blood filling my mouth was irresistibly bitter.
‘It’s not like the gap has widened too much yet. I got the same S grade, so the difference isn’t big.’
Opportunities for reversal are numerous. So, so… … no need to cry Tears will only shed tears of joy after winning first place. Because I made a promise to myself.
‘is it so. You don’t have to cry, Christa.’
Looking at her student, Christa, amid the pouring applause, Professor Caroline smiled as if cheering.
‘Effort does not betray expectations. It will be the force that will turn the tide someday.’
Therefore, unyielding efforts in the face of adversity can be said to be a true asset.
‘Adversity breeds podium, and podium breeds perseverance. That tenacity will be an invaluable asset in achieving your dreams.’
Therefore, adversity is not the downhill of life, but the greatest turning point, Krista. Don’t get frustrated. you are excellent
‘Excellence is not innate, but born again. You have the potential to outperform any student.’
So don’t cry
It’s not the time to cry yet.

It was during lunchtime that day that the student council contacted him. A girl with playful eyes in a cool blonde short hair came to the classroom.
The sentence engraved on the student ring is ‘a dragon with outstretched wings’. It was a sophomore year.
And, like Rain, her school uniform cape was fastened with a keelstone decorative string. It was the current senior cadet in the second year.
“It’s been a long time since we met like this. Hey, great, great! Our lane is the chief. The guy who looked up at the sky like an idiot, wahahahahaha.”
At the same time, he excitedly pats Lane on the back as if asking when they were so close. There is nothing particularly surprising about it. Because I’m a person with this kind of personality.
If it is spherical, it is spherical.
We met once at a Sega conference. Before I can get Rin’s memories back.
“And hi Christa too!”
Christa, who had missed the right to apply for the student council, waved bitterly, while the other cadets blinked and exchanged glances.
“Sah, it’s Sandra Keppel… … !”
“The daughter of the Western Madose Family… … .”
“They say he’s a monster who’s never missed the top spot since freshman year… … .”
Sandra took Lane’s hand and led her down the hallway, paying no attention, as if she was used to such gossip.
You have a great reputation in school.
Indeed, the magical power within the body is remarkable. Is this the guy Professor Kyle was talking about?
“Come on, let’s go. Everyone is waiting for you. There is a mountain of work to do.”
“Are you the student council president?”
“me? I? I’m still in 2nd grade I can’t even be vice president yet. I am a clerk.”
Sandra waved her hand lightly.
Um, isn’t this guy?
If that was the case, I would have been a bit disappointed. Sandra was also at a great level, but since Professor Kyle had raised her like that, I was expecting several times more than this.
“Then, what family or school did that student president come from?”
Then, Sandra, who was walking ahead, laughed as if she was having fun. He seemed interested in not knowing anything about the famous student council president.
“There is no family or school.”
“?”
“It’s just how I learned it on the street. But, I can’t see a way to catch up with that human.”
“???”
“I don’t know? He is known as the absolute prince of the street.”
A prince… … .
No matter how nickname it may be, does a non-noble person have a title that can only be given to the children of an electorate?
‘It’s strange that the nobles didn’t object. Are you saying your skills are that outstanding?’
The student council room was located on the 4th floor of Yongryun Hall, a popular spot overlooking most of the undergraduate buildings.
For reference, the clubs that can use the main building, Yongnyungwan, as insolvent are all with deep origins, and the number is less than five.
The student council was worse than any club that Lane had visited so far, and the desks, chairs, and lights were elegant with curves, and the magic of each member was outstanding.
“Now, this is Lane Ludwig, our first year senior cadet. I will become the new face of the student council. Professor Kyle says he’s going to be the next student president.”
The current student council consisted of four members. Normally, only the top and bottom cadets are allowed to join, so it’s natural.
“That’s Felix Drake. vice-chairman.”
A boy with a small physique and a kind expression nodded lightly. The seal engraved on the ring was a ‘roaring dragon’, a 3rd year cadet I met for the first time.
It’s 3rd grade… … .
With that alone, it was possible to see him as a genius who perfectly completed the academic structure of ＜Delayten＞ where half of the students drop out every year for two years.
“And this is Triwis. Until now, I was a secretary, but now I am an accountant.”
A sophomore female student sitting in the corner and processing documents piled up like a mountain, she nods her head as expressionless as a doll.
“Is that all work?”
“Originally, at the beginning of the semester, I was pushed that much. I’m tired of the lane now, so I should do it, right? Until the successor comes.”
What is it?
An emotion that could be said to be frightened was reflected in Lane’s eyes.
“What are the student council’s activity hours?”
“Gather after class every day. If there is no work, we simply have a meeting and it is over, but if there is, we have to do everything until it is over.”
“Well, I guess my bowl is too lacking to be part of such an excellent group.”
I will cast a quick give up.
Because this heavy labor group doesn’t fit me in the slightest. At that time, someone sitting by the window where the sun was pouring in turned a chair.
“Lane Ludwig?”
The first time I saw that person… … Lane’s eyes opened wide from the two shocks.
First, because of its appearance.
His fair skin and well-balanced features were not at the level of handsome, but at the level of being more beautiful than many beauties.
Rain’s appearance was also quite a handsome boy, but should we say that this is an out-of-standard creature?
“And that’s the Valencidis student council president you asked about earlier!”
And another shock… … It was a remnant of black magic that remained faintly in that guy’s eyes.
No, you can’t even call it an afterimage.
From noble mtl dot com
It was just a hunch.
Something eerie that he felt while dealing with countless warlocks in Rin’s era wriggled in that guy’s cold yet inorganic eyes.
‘And this guy… … .’
Even by Lin’s standards, not Lane’s standards, he is one of the best masters. He didn’t even show hostility, but he was the owner of magical power that was sharpened like a needle pricked his back.
“Just take it back. Contrary to what I heard, it is below expectations. I’d rather have the Christa Warden that Felix brought me the other day.”
“What are you talking about, Chairman?! The whole school is in a frenzy right now that he took the top spot over the five late members of the Eight Great Schools.”
Sandra smiled as if interceding. Perhaps because of the difference in social status, he didn’t seem to use any honorifics.
“What I don’t like is not his talent, but his attitude.”
Valensidis pointed in this direction with a long, white, calloused, deeply planted finger.
Are you a guy with a sword?
No, the location of the callus is different from that of the sword. What armor do you wear?
“When you joined the student council, did you just think you would be respected? Like when you were at the mansion?”
“It’s not really like that.”
“Then why did your attitude change as soon as you said you were doing the general affairs? Please answer sincerely.”
So, what do you do with this guy?
Who would believe me if I shouted ‘This guy is a black magician!’ The other side has been trusted by the school for two years, while this side has only recently been recognized, so the solution is dismissal.
At first, he shrugged lightly.
“To be honest, it’s annoying. I don’t even know why I have to take on such a task.”
“You don’t want to do volunteer work for your classmates even if you die? My mindset has gone bad.”
“I’ve heard it a lot since before.”
from a long time ago
It’s from Rin’s time.
When he came out so confidently, Valencidis had a strange look in his eyes.
“No, I can’t say that this is only your fault. You were born as a noble in a country that blindly pursues aristocracy, so you must have that mindset.”
“Nobility, what?”
“The one who stands above is the one. You must not seek only to be served. Those who know how to embrace and serve the powerless are truly qualified to stand on top.”
Why was that one day?
In the warm spring breeze that blew the curtains by the window, the smiles of Lista and Friede passed by.
“Don’t you think so? Only such people are worthy of being served in the name of kings or nobles. You don’t become an aristocrat just because you were born with a good bloodline.”
“… … !”
“The student council will be a place to learn that mindset. You can also see that the student council is not an organization that earns the respect of students based only on the grades of its members. It’s entirely up to you to take up the job or run away, so I won’t say more.”
A distant interest sprang from beyond the deep vigilance.
What is this guy?
All the warlocks I’ve met so far have either gone beyond their craving for power or have the mindset of a madman.
‘Am I the one who hides his identity with sophistry, or is it normal, but for some reason, has he ever dabbled in black magic?’
If it had been in the past, I would have been hostile right away the moment I found out that it was a warlock… … .
Rumors surfaced that the innocent little boy had also dabbled in black magic, so he decided to leave room for further investigation.
After meeting Valensidis’ eyes for a while, Lane scratched the back of her head with a sigh.
“Looking at you arguing like this, it seems like you really want me, contrary to what you say. general affairs? That much, I’ll do it once.”
It wasn’t that I was interested in student council activities. It wasn’t even that I had the heart to fight the black magician. I’m interested in this guy named Valencidis.
The student council is a legitimate place to observe and monitor this guy.
If there is no choice but to be ambushed, I would rather watch and attack first than to be caught unintentionally.
“Instead, as the chairman said, I may not be able to do my job properly because I am not good enough. Are you okay?”
Valencidis put a sneer on his lips as if he was laughing.
“Don’t worry about that. I will correct each one.”
