the next day.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I looked at the basin that was placed next to me.
Laune, who was sleeping in the basin, still looked weak.
No, on the contrary, it had gotten worse.
It was not difficult to find blackened and dried up spots on the green leaves that he had always boasted about to me.
“Laune, look here.”
“… … .”
Even though I carefully hugged him, he didn’t seem to have the strength to turn his head.
Seeing that figure, I wanted to cut that thing that was swimming calmly and leisurely in the tank right now.
The reason I didn’t do that was because the people who gave me the boy were Choi Hyun-woo and Han Soo-young.
“wait a minute.”
While holding the guy with his left hand, he gently brought his right hand to his body.
The branches of the world tree that pierced my skin and burrowed all over his body.
He paid utmost attention to avoid leaving any scars on his body.
“… … .”
“Whew… .”
Energy flows through the branches of the World Tree.
I wondered if there would be a problem such as a backlash, but it didn’t happen because of the nature of the World Tree.
In any case, the energy of the World Tree was the energy of nature.
“Are you okay?”
“… !”
The guy, who had been given the energy for a while, shook his head and looked up.
The guy who looked at me blankly nodded at my question and shook his head.
Then, while fiddling with his own leaves, he began to pick out the bad ones.
Feeling a bit refreshed, I let out a small sigh and put him on the desk.
“I’ll order the new tank you’re going to buy today. Be patient.”
“… … .”
The guy nodded his head.
Then he waved his roots at me and pointed to a corner of the original tank.
Elemental stones, which can be called his treasure, were placed there.
“Oh, right. Wait a moment.”
I immediately took out the spirit stones as he wanted them.
Laune jumped up from the spot as if asking for a quick hand.
“Come on, here.”
“… … !!!”
The guy holding the spirit stones in his arms, touched their surfaces, stroked them, and rubbed their faces, shaking his body as if he was happy.
“… right.”
When I saw it, I remembered something I had forgotten.
I sat down on the bed and pulled out the wooden box I received yesterday from the shadows.
“… … .”
Inside, there is a piece of wood that appears to be the body of Sbangali.
I immediately appraised it, but nothing showed up.
Maybe it’s just an ordinary piece of wood?
However, he immediately shook his head at the strange feeling that was emanating from him.
This must have been part of Sbangali’s body.
‘… This is the first time this has happened, so I don’t know how to use it.’
I had never seen or heard of a case in which a part of the Seven Seven Bells remained even after the death of the Seven Seven Bells.
In the case of Margo, he died by spitting out flames, and Sbangali disappeared into ashes.

Originally, this piece of wood should have been like that.
“I don’t know.”
It was completely unprecedented in the original story and in my memory.
It was not a matter of easy access, so I put it back in the wooden box and then put it in the shadows.
It was necessary to take time to investigate later.
“… … !!!”
When I got up, Laune waved her roots as if to see me off.
The guy who knew that I was always leaving around this time always saw me off like that.
My heart, which had been a little frustrated, seemed to be relieved by the little guy’s actions.
“Okay, see you later.”
I smiled and waved to him.
It was time to step out.

“Oh, come to think of it, hasn’t Miss Jin Ye-seul come yet?”
The young professor, who is now regarded as our professor, almost on behalf of Alice Blesbuck, looked around.
“Um, no contact until the morning class is over… .”
He mumbled in trouble and shook his head.
“Does anyone have contact with Jin Ye-seul? If there is, please tell me anytime, so that everyone can enjoy their lunch.”
With those words, he ran out, followed by most of the students as if waiting.
Today, I only had a theory class with almost no rest time all morning, so I thought everyone would get a sore throat.
“Ugh, it’s hard to see your face.”
Then, suddenly, someone sat down next to me.
It was Choi Hyun-woo.
I narrowly arrived at class and sat down apart from the two of them.
It was said that the day we went to was a market day, or today, professors are especially passionate about their classes, so it was not appropriate to talk separately during breaks.
Therefore, it could be said that now was the first time we had a proper conversation.
Choi Hyun-woo, who was sitting next to me, glanced at me and asked.
“… Doesn’t it seem like the story didn’t work out?”
“What is it?”
It was unreasonable to hide it from others, even if it was not known to them.
When I nodded my head in agreement, Hyunwoo Choi looked at me with a complicated gaze.
“I don’t know if it will be encouraging, but be strong. It’s not empty words, but Jihyuk’s relationship with you and Yeseul… Because it wasn’t normal.”
“So I think it will be more difficult.”
When he answered that with a bitter smile, Choi Hyun-woo nodded his head slightly as if he understood.
He seemed to have decided to remain silent rather than give me clumsy encouragement in my attitude.
And it was certainly a choice that brought me much more stability than flimsy encouragement.
It was in the meantime.
“Hey there, Jihyuk.”
A female student she hadn’t talked to for a few times slowly approached me.
She pointed out and said to me.
“The president said can I meet you?”
“Chairman? student president?”
“yes.”
It seemed that I wasn’t the only one who was embarrassed by the words I hadn’t thought of at all.
“What, Jihyuk, are you going to join the student council?”
“no? why me. It’s not a joke, I’ve never been to the student council before, except that I temporarily joined the event at the request of Yeeun.”
“I… Once I told you? Then I will go.”
The girl immediately walked to where her friends were waiting.
I first talked to Choi Hyun-woo and Han Su-young, who stood next to me and was still thinking deeply about something without saying a word.
“You go to the restaurant first. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like it will take a little while to get here.”
“okay. What would you like to do first?”
“uh… I’ll call you when I’m done. If you do, I will be grateful.”
“Yeah, Sooyoung and I are having tea while we wait.”
Then I looked at Han Soo-young, who was still speechless.
She was looking intently at me, precisely the part of my neck that was covered with polarti.
I naturally cleaned up Paulati’s neck and called her name.
“Swimming?”
“uh? uh so be it Shall we go first?”
She nodded as if she understood.
I looked at her for a moment, and then I saw her bashful and smiling.
“why? Is it because you look so pretty to look at?”
“Wow… Cuckoo!”
Right next to him, Choi Hyeon-woo was nauseous and was punched in the side with his fist by Han Soo-young.
He said, looking at him sadly as he groaned wildly as if he couldn’t breathe.
“What… I will be back. If you want it to be too long, eat it first.”
“If I can’t eat with you, I’d rather starve.”
“Don’t do that. Make sure to eat it.”
Han Soo-young nodded as if he knew.
After staring at her for a moment, I moved to meet the student council president who was waiting here.
* * *
“… … .”
Han Soo-young sent off Yoo Ji-hyeok with a still smiling expression.
And as soon as he saw him exit the classroom door, he wiped the smile from his face as if he had ever been.
“Whoa.”
Then, Hyeon-woo Choi, who was coughing like death next to him, stopped coughing immediately and straightened his posture.
No matter how defenseless he was, even if he was beaten, he wasn’t the kind of person who would feel the pain in Han Soo-young’s fist.
“Hyunwoo.”
“no.”
At Han Soo-young’s words, Choi Hyun-woo shook his head.
“what? I didn’t say anything.”
“You’re going to see Yesul right now.”
“not really? I just left something in the dormitory… .”
“Hey, Sooyoung.”
Hyunwoo Choi let out a small sigh and ruffled the back of his head as if in trouble.
“If no one else knows, at least don’t try to deceive me. How many years do you think you and I have been together?”
“… … .”
“When I look into your eyes, I can see what you are thinking right now.”
Choi Hyun-woo said so and looked at Han Soo-young.
Then, Han Soo-young turned her head to look at the window, and soon realized what kind of eyes she had.
“… Then why are you drying it?”
“This is a problem that Ji-hyeok and Yesul will solve.”
Hyunwoo Choi sighed.
“I know what you think of him, and I know that if I get involved with him, I lose my temper, but please don’t be silly this time. But when the situation worsens, only Ji-hyeok gets in trouble.”
“You don’t know.”
Han Soo-young said so and looked at Choi Hyun-woo with polite eyes.
Looking into her eyes, Choi Hyun-woo let out a small moan.
“My eyes can see the flow of magic. So now, Hyeonu, I can see that your left shoulder is stiff and that you have a slight blunt pain in your lower back.”
“… … .”
“Do you know what happened to Jihyuk’s neck?”
Han Soo-young muttered like that.
Even without careful examination, he could tell that the wound was from strangulation.
He was so strangled that the scar left so deep.
“I know.”
“What?”
“I know that Sooyoung doesn’t have magical powers like you. Starting with wearing a polarti for nothing in this weather, I know that when I breathe or hear something a little strange, I get choked.”
“Knowing that… !”
“There must be another story intertwined besides what has been told us. As you know, there were times when the two of them acted separately. It must be worse than we are.”
“Ha, but… .”
“But, whatever, Ji-hyeok was the one he chose, and it’s something he’s trying to solve on his own.”
Then we should respect his choice.
At Choi Hyun-woo’s words, Han Soo-young kept her mouth shut.
“… … .”
After a while, Han Soo-young quietly murmured, closing her eyes as if to calm down and sighing heavily.
“… I really hate you when you are like this.”
I can’t figure out how to counter it.
Choi Hyun-woo groaned at her murmuring.
“You said it last time. I am more mature than you.”
“… At least it seems so now.”
Han Soo-young nodded her head.
Without Choi Hyeon-woo, she did not deny the thought that she would have hit him even if he had had an accident earlier.

In Orge Academy, the student council was, in fact, a powerless organization as the outside thought.
Read At noblemtl.com
Of course, compared to other schools and educational institutions, it was a bit more powerful, but that was enough.
You can have an opinion on the academy, and you can impose some restrictions on students, but that’s it.
As with any group, depending on the leader of the group and the inclinations of the leaders, they are bound to show the same steps.
In that sense, the student council led by the man in front of me, Rev Dunkinson, is quite conservative.
A conservative, change-averse, stability-seeking, and sometimes opportunistic man.
Maybe that’s why I remember that I didn’t get along very well with Yeeun Lee, but the man who Lee Yeeun followed without saying anything because he was very resourceful and coordinated with people.
That was the Rev Dunkinson I knew.
“Oh, hello. It’s the first time we’ve talked together like this.”
He greeted me in his characteristic sad, sad voice and asked to shake my hand.
As soon as he grabbed my hand, he waved and shook it, still looking at me with a smile on his face.
“You know, but let me introduce myself one more time. It’s Rev Dunkinson. I am the student council president.”
“Yes, I know because I saw you last time.”
“Well, you must have come here on the recommendation of that child, Yeeun Lee? But I found out that the two are relatives… .”
He glanced at my face and tilted his head.
“But they don’t look alike. Oh sorry. That must have been a very rude remark.”
He immediately apologized and apologized, and in a word, he was a crazy man.
He liked to use the method of throwing out his main point by arranging the story in this way, leaving out the opponent’s camp.
“Can’t you tell me from the beginning?”
“yes?”
“As you know, it’s lunch time now.”
He paused for a moment at my answer, then nodded and smiled.
“Ah, yes. right. I’m sorry, I was too rude.”
He handed me an apology as if he was really sorry and told me.
“Well, none of that matters, because in a few days the faculty will come here as part of an exchange class in Urea. Can you tell Yeeun Lee to attend the meeting for the final reconciliation?”
He shrugged his shoulders as if he was asking me why he was asking me for that.
“I don’t know if you know this, but the reason that Yeeun Lee was in the student council was to get things done faster and more accurately with the academy and the world tree clan. But right now, I’m very busy, so I can’t contact him, and it’s because big groups like the academy, urea, and world tree clan are involved… They put pressure on us to openly ask us to confirm.”
He shook his head, wondering what to do.
“If that’s the case, it would be better for them to take charge of the work from the beginning, or they were just trying to say that they were taking the initiative in the students for nothing, and then their anus caught on fire. Thanks to you, only us who are proud are roasting.”
He muttered, blinking his eyes as if tired.
“But I can’t contact you, and I can’t visit you in person… But suddenly, a boy about the same size as the boy’s younger brother was going to this place, so I came here just in case. If it’s someone else, I might get a call from you.”
He had an awkward smile as if he was asking for it.
“So, can I ask you a favor? I would really appreciate it if you return the answer within today. If you help me, I will definitely pay you back later.”
“Yes, I will try to contact you. But please don’t expect too much.”
“Oh, I’m glad. Where are you going to try?”
Saying so, he handed me a note with his number on it.
“Call me whenever it’s convenient for you. Then, after having a delicious lunch, I was sorry that I suddenly came.”
After saying those words, he hurriedly started walking somewhere.
You are such a crazy person, thinking that way, the first time I turned around to go to the restaurant.
“there… .”
“yes?”
It was the girl who called me earlier.
Protruding from the corner of the wall, she looked around and approached me.
And he said to me in a quiet voice.
“It’s a message from the boss.”
The girl, no Esmeralda Listenerger, said so and looked at me.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
“… Why the hell do you all come here only for lunch?”
“Do you know that I wanted to come to you until this time? We came here because our boss ordered it.”
She let out a sigh as she muttered.
“It’s a really important story. So I ran right away.”
The academy’s graduates are disappearing in a chain.
I couldn’t help but frown at her sudden words.
As she said, it was a really important story.
