How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 101

Student President Election 2 (2)

At this point, there are three variables that I care about the most.

The first is the news that Princess Fenia seems to have almost lost her will to become student council president.

The second is the news that Princess Fenia burns her hostility and defeats her static Tanya, who has gone missing.

The third one… is the news that Tanya’s two retainers, Kadek and Knox, are being imprisoned by the bachelor.

Each of these variables had the potential to create major difficulties in the long-term, mid-term, and short-term perspectives, respectively.

First of all, if Fenia lost its will to hold power, in the long run, the core force that would keep the Roth Taylor family in check would almost certainly lead to the disappearance.

When you reach Act 4, it becomes difficult to borrow the power of Lucy or Obel, who are absolutely strong. This is because the two exhausted themselves greatly in the third act and did not intervene much in the fourth act. Therefore, if the imperial family, which had great power, did not join as an ally, it would act as a greater loss.

In my mind, I wanted to ask Lucy, who was fine right now, to go to the Duchy of Roth Taylor and destroy all the Creffins, but there was a high possibility that Lucy would become the world’s criminal if she killed Creffin, who had no apparent guilt yet. .

This is because the careful Krepin still remains as a benevolent and wise duke to the people of the territory.

In the first place, it was impossible to grant such a request.

I had a very special relationship with Lucy. But even so, there was no way they would do stupid things like attacking a normal duchy for no clear reason and beating and killing everything they encountered.

However, if you sit still and face the fourth act, it will be a difficult situation, so for now, it is necessary for Princess Fenia to sit in the student council president’s seat for a stable future.

The news of Tanya’s whereabouts is not very good news from that perspective.

The presence of Tanya, who has the temperament of a high-nosed, evil young lady, plays a role in burning the princess’ desire to compete.

The story itself would be difficult to establish without Tanya Roth Taylor, who exhilarates Princess Fenia so that she can sit in the student council president’s seat.

So, it’s good to find out Tanya’s whereabouts as soon as possible.

Lastly, there is the matter of Kadek and Knox’s recruits. This is related to the reason why I am maintaining a state of camouflage death right now.

Kadek and Knox deliberately released them. It was to inform Creffin Ross-Taylor of my death, and to completely push my existence out of his consciousness.

It was because Crepin, who coordinated cause and effect and exercised the power of evil spirits, was too difficult to deal with.

However, now things went awry, and Kadek and Knox were held in the dormitory with charges of my murder. At least, I will continue to be in custody until the investigation into this murder case is completed.

They are knights with great loyalty, so they won’t even open their mouths. Somehow it was necessary to release them both and report the whole situation to Krepin.

Only then can this stuffy hermit life come to an end. It was a short-term problem that hit us right away.

“There are so many things to do, piled up like a mountain… Huh…”

He took a bite of the stew and let out a deep sigh. Well, nothing can be solved by being in a state of exhaustion, so it was important to eat enough and keep your body healthy.

Seeing me worryingly stuffing stew into my mouth, Jenika turned to death again and sat down next to me.

“Because Ed was from a noble duke family… Even after being excommunicated, he gets caught up in a lot of things.”

“huh?”

“I’m… just a commoner from a country ranch… so I don’t know what it feels like to live like Ed.”

Yenika spoke with difficulty as she ran the tips of her fingers gently.

“That’s why I can’t even comfort Ed well… I don’t know him well, but as if I know everything, it’s not a big deal, you can do it too, so cheer up… It’s meaningless even if I say things like that. I don’t feel very sincere… .”

“It’s okay if you don’t think about it that deeply and comfort me. Yenika, you’re already helping me so much that I don’t deserve it.”

“…”

Yenika stretched her legs out from the rock she was sitting on, let out a deep sigh as her tight muscles relaxed with a groan.

“Still, I want to solve Ed’s troubles. This is just my simple greed.”

Then, hesitatingly raises his eyes and speaks.

“I just… I want Ed to stop struggling, I.”

After talking like that, that ‘strange silence’ came. The pattern was now visible.

Jenika, who was suddenly speechless, wiggled her hands again, bowed her head, and dyed her blush for no reason.

I wiped my face once and admired Yenika again. Should I say that I was moved by the way she gave for me to this extent? Before I knew it, Yenika had become a very special person to me.

“Thank you so much, Yenika. You’re the only one who worries about me like this.”

“Ugh… It’s embarrassing to say it. Ahaha. Ahahahahahaha.”

Jenika twisted the hem of her skirt for no reason and laughed with strange tension, then suddenly stood up from her seat.

Then he grabbed his oak wand, clenched his fists tightly, and spoke to me with his characteristic fluttering expression.

“Anyway, finding Tanya is the most important thing right now! I don’t even know where she is or what she’s doing, and Ed seems worried about Tanya too! From what Ziggs said the other day, he must have gone to the living quarters to find someone to call for help. you did.”

It was after I had already talked to Ziggs. Ziggs greeted Tanya and advised her to leave in search of someone who might have a connection with the Ross Taylor family.

“Yes. It’s the Roth Taylor family that has a lot of exchanges with various aristocratic families… but if it were me, I think I’d go to the imperial family’s quarters first.”

It’s speculation, but it’s pretty plausible. He probably didn’t want to ask for help from a shy person in a situation where he was cornered right now. For now, it seemed like it would be right to poke at the royal residence where Princess Penia is located first.

“Ed is in a position where he has to hide now, so I’m going to visit the royal residence.”

“No, you don’t have to. Yenika.”

“huh?”

I waved my hands around and calmed the eager Jenika.

“As you know, it’s not easy to meet with Princess Penia. She’s a very high-ranking person, and her schedule is full… To some extent, she won’t give up her seat easily unless she’s in the right weight class. Even if you give in, you may have to wait a few days.”

If he wanted to meet Princess Penia even for a short time, a person of a certain level would be willing to give time in his own way.

However, how many people are there in the world who match the ranks of the princess and her subordinates? No matter how hard I looked in this Sylvania, no one could talk on an equal footing with the exception of the church’s Saint Clarice.

At least, there are characters worth rubbing against. Although his status is a commoner, he is a person that even the princess cannot easily dismiss.

“I asked Lortel in advance. If you’re acting as the owner of Elte Firm, it wouldn’t be too difficult to make an official visit to the royal residence.”

Princess Fenia and Lortel are beings whose inclinations do not match each other to the extent that it is safe to say that they are dog mates.

It is safe to say that the conversation between the two rarely produces meaningful results. However, since the purpose is to ask about Tanya’s whereabouts… nothing much will happen.

“…Umm.”

When I mentioned Lortel’s name, Yenika looked at me with her half-moon eyes open as if she was so dissatisfied.

“Ed… must have a lot of trust in Lortel…?”

“You’re sure about your workmanship. It’s not like you became a member of the upper ranks at that age for nothing.”

“Ugh…”

Yenica stood up with her shoulders poked as if she had been stabbed with an awl, but she was about to say something.

“Mmmmm… mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…”

As if she had a new problem, Yenika thought deeply, holding an oak wand in her bosom. Her head seemed to be pounding, and her mouth was munching, a troubled look on her face.

I scooped up a few more spoonfuls of stew and shoved it into my mouth, waiting for Yenika slowly.

First of all, it’s not like I’m in a hurry to do anything right now.

First of all, while waiting for news from Lortel, let’s train our body a bit more and take care of our health.

Above all, he needed to practice so that he could handle the newly contracted water spirit, the lioness Lacia, more properly, and he needed to be more familiar with the unique elemental system.

“…”

Then, when information about Tanya’s whereabouts comes in, let’s start moving in earnest.

After organizing my thoughts like that, I continued to push the stew into my mouth.

The daughter of the lesser evil, Tanya Ross-Taylor.

<The Fallen Swordsman of Sylvania> Act 3, Scene 2. The boss of the student council president election.

When I mention that name, the image that comes to mind is… As always, the sassy villain girl.

Born as the second daughter of the Roth Taylor family, she always maintains a noble and dignified appearance, and while gradually opening her eyes to politics, she proceeds to the election campaign with the princess through her innate sense of life… She was a girl with a sharp sense in her own way.

“Hmm…”

Suddenly, I remembered the conversation I had with Tanya at camp.

He seemed somewhat hesitant, as if he had not yet opened his eyes to his political insight.

I was a bit embarrassed at first. It was because it was quite different from the image of Tanya Ross Taylor that I had been watching in Sylvania’s Failed Sword Castle.

However, since it was a situation where we met before the scenario even progressed… She must have been a person who grew up in her own way.

Tanya Rosteiler, at least in my memory, has always been a strong, fearless, lofty girl.

Human nature does not change easily. That temperament will remain…

I’m sure even now, somewhere, I’m holding on steadfastly, and I’m planning the future.

As always, in a dignified and dignified manner.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”

Tanya was trembling with tears in her eyes.

Princess Penia, who was watching the scene, broke out in sweat.

The second daughter of the Roth Taylor family who always maintains her dignity with a noble appearance.

Despite being a young age and a first-year student who was at an infinite disadvantage in elections, he had an aspiration that he declared that he would become the student council president.

Tanya’s prestige among first-year students was so great that there were followers who already followed her.

Princess Fenia, who finally gave up her desire to become the student council president… had the thought that if such a child became the student council president, it would be a new wish in her own way.

However, since Princess Penia basically has a hostile gaze toward the Ross Taylor family, she did not support her. Rather, she thought that she might have contact with Crepin, and the side of her being wary was greater.

However, watching her explain the past while trembling in fear… Princess Fenia had no choice but to stick out her tongue.

The mind that was somewhat distant is also subtly released.

In a way, it could have been her nemesis before the election, but the princess’s unique insight suggests that Tanya’s fear is true.

“I… I never really gave orders to assassinate my brother…”

As the Roth Taylor family’s vassals, Kadek and Knox, were pointed out as prime suspects, Tanya, who became a suspect in the murder order, was completely on the run.

Princess Fenia… felt a certain amount of sincerity in Tanya’s words.

There were a few things that could be used as a basis.

A magical engineering item hanging from Tanya’s robe with a leather strap. These slabs with red marbles are… something called ‘Helgo’s winged shoes’… It’s an item that Ziggs Eiffelstein, the current 2nd year Vice-Chief of the Ministry of Magic, always carried.

Princess Penia clearly saw that he took out this magical engineering tool several times during the alchemy class.

Judging by the fact that Tanya is holding the object, the testimony that she escaped the Ophelis tube with the help of Ziggs lends some credibility to it.

‘This… I’ll have to meet Ziggs and talk about it…’

If true, the situation itself was odd.

If Ziggs knew that Tanya wasn’t the murderer, there’s no way he’d let the situation go without testifying.

The school was full of people who wanted to find Tanya.

He’s not the type to sit idly by when investigators from the school seek Tanya’s whereabouts.

It is very likely that there is some circumstance inevitably causing this to happen.

“You’ve worked hard, Tanya Rosteeler. I’ve decided to take your word for it. So… I’ll hide you in the imperial quarters until the situation becomes clearer.”

“Really… thank you very much, Princess Penia… I’ve been greatly blessed…”

“No. Of course it’s something I have to do.”

Saying that, Princess Fenia lovingly hugged the trembling Tanya.

How did he ever think of fighting a war of nerves with a girl of such temperament? Just because you wear the name Ross Taylor doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’re a villain.

Wasn’t Ed Roth Taylor, in reality, a sound and complete human being?

Princess Fenia quietly patted Tanya, as she did not want to repeat the mistake of jumping to conclusions based only on her last name, Ross Taylor.

It’s about a week until the student council president election.

The murder of Ed Rosteiler, the raid on the Ophelis building, the disappearance of Tanya Rosteiler, etc… All sorts of variables are at play, and the academic staff is distracted.

Of course, the lack of spirit is also the same for Elte Corporation.

After the long winter, the frozen trade routes were opened, and the cash that had been bottlenecked began to open up before I knew it.

Distribution demand, which had been concentrated, began to surge, and Lortel’s hands, which had been relaxed for a while, suddenly became busy.

However, Lortel is a girl who knows how to accurately judge the importance of work.

I never make the mistake of missing the macroscopic trend by being preoccupied with microscopic distribution tasks.

Lortel was sitting alone in the office of the Chamber of Commerce branch, checking the information collected by her aides through documents.

“…”

The news about the murder of Ed Rosteiler and the information about the whereabouts of the prime suspect, Tanya Rosteiler, are the hottest.

The upcoming student president election schedule will be held as it is because it is an annual event, but right now, the academic staff is busy investigating and cleaning up. Relative spotlights are bound to shine less.

However, regardless of the spotlight, who sits in the seat of the student council president is very important in various conflicts of interest within the school.

As I said, Lortel can’t even handle the student council’s business because it lacks manpower just by handling business. The best thing would be for someone friendly to Lortel to sit in the student council president’s seat…

‘Umm… It’s not a good composition.’

Tanya Rosteiler, who openly expressed her aspirations for the position of student council president, is missing due to the murder of Ed.

Now, if the princess were to run for office, there would be no candidate who could stop her.

Even Tanya, who seemed to have the slightest chance to push her in the first place, had almost no chance of winning against Princess Fenia… Princess Fenia’s strength was difficult for any candidate to handle.

Right now, the princess has declared that she will not run, but if she changes her mind for some reason and really runs for office… there is no one to block her path.

However, Lortel hates Princess Penia. I’m not too happy that she sits in her student body president seat.

Among the potential candidates, I couldn’t see anyone who was friendly to Lortel and Elte. The situation itself doesn’t look very good.

‘How can I control the game only when I’m obsessed with something like that.’

Lortel is the kind of person who weaves in the darkness beneath the surface. The tool is money, and the result is the flow of the situation.

The key is to appoint a person who is friendly to you as the student council president. It is better if it is a person who focuses on the human relationship with Lortel, beyond the simple interest relationship with Elte Corporation.

Whether the party has a will or not is a secondary issue. The original place is what makes a person.

Thinking so… Lortel ran her index finger through the drawing of Ed’s face on the data sheet several times.

The pre-election situation descends into chaos. Those who win there are usually those who know how to make a board.

The calm smile is Lortel’s trademark.

Beneath the dark office, another conspiracy looms.

– Tok, tok.

Lucy, buried in a majestically large bed, stared blankly into space.

She was counting the number of times a thread of lace protruded from the curtain and fluttered in the wind.

The maid standing next to him was smiling without even moving.

It’s sad just to be confined in a room, but the current reality of having to wear a maid and be watched all day long is deplorable.

And if there was one more unexpected crisis… simply being banned from going out wasn’t the only ordeal.

Is it the problem that she just opened her eyes to her heart as a girl?

As I stare blankly at the ceiling, the face of a blonde boy pops up above it.

Lucy felt a sense of crisis along with a cold sweat.

Now it’s the first day of probation… The response is already coming. If you are buried in a sheet that doesn’t smell like grass, there’s a big difference from those moderately soft knees… A strange withdrawal phenomenon comes up.

Until the end of probation D ? 29.

For Lucy, it was like an eternity.

It was… torture itself.
