How to Survive at the Academy Chapter 206

Youngest person to retire (1)

Ross Taylor’s majesty will never fade as long as the Chloel Empire shines.

It’s a phrase that makes my heart overflowing just by looking at it. These are the words that the founder of the Roth-Taylor family, Bolsher Roth-Taylor, shouted from the center of the empire as he raised the shining family flag.

The immature Tanya Rosteiler, who had barely taken off her childish tee and finally walked out into the hall wearing a dress-like dress. She always held in her heart the majestic sight of Ross Taylor Hall in her memory.

How blessed it is to be born into the Roth Taylor family and be a witness to that heart-throbbing era.

So as not to become a nuisance to this Ross Taylor’s name, as a beautiful and strong young lady, I will become a person who is not ashamed to represent Ross Taylor.

If you have a dream, it is to prove your skills and raise the name of Ross Taylor to the world.

It is only in order to prove the greatness of this Roth Taylor that he will live. That beautiful and sublime journey is not allowed to anyone.

Tanya Ross Taylor, the beautiful duchess daughter of the Ross Taylor family. One day, when everyone hears his name, he will be the kind of person who trembles and pays respect.

I will be the one who carries the name of Ross Taylor, holds the power, holds the honor, and leads everyone.

The girl’s ambition burns like a torch.

The will to live the rest of his life as a great man who will remain in the memory of immortal people.

That big ambition is not the size of a child who hasn’t even had a coming-of-age ceremony yet.

That’s how the girl had an ambition that shined brighter than anyone else at such a young age.

“I want to die…”

The Obel Building attached to the Student Square, the student council president’s office.

Tanya, who was sitting on the chair of the student council president who looked dignified and had her face on the desk with a sullen expression, spoke as if muttering.

It was about two days after her brother, Ed Rosteeler, had left for Cledric Abbey.

“…”

Student council action committee member Ziggs Eiffelstein sat there, watching her stretched out like a corpse, with nothing to say.

Herbs and reagent materials for research reported by various clubs belonging to the Ministry of Pensions. The stock does not match the stock that the student council executive committee members confirmed during the field trip.

So, it was a situation where the student supervisory committee members reported that they needed to be reconfirmed.

Ziggs had been reviewing the report documents from Tanya, but he was in the midst of embarrassment when he saw Tanya suddenly sinking like a deflated balloon.

“Chairman Tanya… Can’t you review the documents first?”

Although he is a lower class student, he holds the title of student council president. Tanya stared at Ziggs, who treated him with respect, for a moment with his eyes wide open, then slammed his head back into the desk.

“Ziggs, why do people have to work?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to do such philosophical thoughts after finishing work?”

“Maybe we’re just being swayed by the prejudice created by society in the first place. Humans don’t live to work… It’s clear that God created humans with a more valuable intention behind them.”

“Chairman. Please review and approve. The student supervisory committee members are not doing their job…”

“Is it important to check the stock of alchemy supplies used in club activities right now?”

“…It’s important. There are a lot of troublemakers in the Alchemy Department, so you might stole research materials and make another weird thing and do something wrong. We have to prevent it in advance.”

“… sure, it’s important.”

Saying that, Tanya began to read the inventory check written on the reporting document, crossing the lines with a quill.

Then, all of a sudden, I catch my breath.

“Again… I handled my work as naturally as flowing water…”

“Is working as naturally as water flowing to make the world collapse like that?”

Ziggs looked at Tanya wearing a bamboo statue, and suddenly felt faint.

What can I say about Tanya Rosteiler when she first came to Sylvania, her eyes were alive.

He made strange noises about catching Ed and getting rid of him, and talking about becoming the student council president and raising Ross Taylor’s prestige to the sky.

No matter what the goal was, it was so admirable that the ambition and the desire to improve were not found in girls of that age… Even Ziggs, as a senior, applauded.

Those turbulent times have passed. If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, a lot happened in a short time.

Even the immature girl, who was only born with the temperament of ambition, expected to become a more seasoned compromiser after experiencing the storms of reality a few times.

However, the destination… was a bit different from Ziggs’ expectations.

“You know, Mr. Ziggs. If you go a little further to the right along the mountains of Pulan, there is a mansion once owned by Baron Clecton. I can’t believe that you can buy a new mansion for that amount of money…”

It was absurd to raise such a strange topic as to where the news about the sale of mansions or buildings came from.

“It is close to many rural villages on the Pulan side, the air is good, the water is good, I can go swimming in the nearby river if I am bored while feeling the calm breeze, and I also want to have a hobby of painting oil paintings on canvas… The landscape will come out pretty well.”

“Chairman Tanya…”

“Once in a while, I go to the village to shop and see food ingredients I don’t normally see, so I try a lot of dishes I haven’t tried before.

If possible, I would like to learn to embroider. However, if you stay in the mansion, you will become an ignorant young lady, so if there is a social gathering, reading meeting, or service meeting in the Pulan region, it would be nice to attend. Once a week… is too much, so maybe a couple of times a month?

“

“You’re more specific than I thought.”

“There’s no need to spend too much on servants. There’s no need to take care of your dignity. There’s nothing better to do if you live like a family with one or two practical maids.

I can take care of you really well. On a summer night, do something like fireworks with magic… It would be nice to have a meal outside on a sunny day… Also, there are many good places to take a walk around the area… It would be so nice to walk around while exercising. It seems… such a mansion… barely worth that much…

“

Just hearing what she says makes her feel like an old woman in her twilight years who is retiring tomorrow.

However, no matter what anyone says, Tanya Rosteiler is still a girl in her prime, with many days left to live.

Suddenly, Tanya, who was alone with her chin propped up with both hands, was fantasizing about it. Her expression hardened and she spoke.

“…I had a good idea.”

“I’m really very anxious, but can I ask you a question?”

“I’m going to make a retirement plan.”

“Haven’t been in office for half a year yet.”

Even if it was the student president position, the position of the next head of the Roth Taylor family was a position that could not be abandoned just because he wanted to. That one needs a bit more time.

For the remaining forces of Roth-Taylor, especially the vassals and distant relatives attached to the imperial family, Tanya Roth-Taylor’s existence is the last remaining focal point. It is politically burdensome to throw away all these people without knowing and disappear, but it is a matter of humanity in the first place.

It wouldn’t be strange if Tanya threw out the family, and the Ross Taylor family really disappeared from history.

You don’t know how many people will fall into the pit of frustration because of that. That fact somehow forced Tanya to sit in the position of the next head of household.

Until the momentum stabilizes, the center point should not disappear. Until then, Tanya cannot retire either.

In the end, if you want to bring the Roth Taylor family back to a stable period, the person who can guarantee the stability of the power, if not as much as before, should become the emperor.

Selaha is hostile, Persica can’t be trusted, and in the end, only Princess Penia remains.

In the end, the key is to weaken Princess Penia’s competitive forces.

Tanya was making some plans to deal with Princess Sellaha in her own way, but… Come to think of it, she didn’t have to live so busy.

Strictly speaking… All of this is in motion as the next head of the family of Ross Taylor.

Wouldn’t it be okay to put down the dignity of being the student council president of Sylvania Academy?

The power of the student council is not small, and I thought that the time would come when I needed it… but it doesn’t seem to be an essential element than I thought.

“Coming to think of it, I don’t think the senior position of student council president at Sylvania Academy is suitable for someone who is lacking and immature like me. I still have a lot to learn… I have short thoughts…! I don’t feel that dignified!”

“President…”

“Does Ziggs-senpai think so too?!”

“…Before you argue with my opinion, once elected to the position of president in the first place, you cannot quit at will unless you satisfy the reasons for resignation stipulated in the school regulations.”

At those words, the blood began to drain from Tanya’s expression.

“Yeah?! I said I wouldn’t do it, why?!”

“It’s an elected position in the first place. It takes a lot of administrative manpower to re-pick a deputy. But that doesn’t mean the vice-president can’t hold the position of president all the time. Doesn’t the representation of the person directly elected by the students drop?”

Tanya sweeps her blonde hair, eyes like decaying youth. Seeing that scene, and seeing last year’s dazzling appearance overlap, a sigh comes out.

How much my heart has gone in one year… No matter how much trouble I have suffered.

Ziggs went through such a monologue, telling Tanya the truth without hesitation.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just fill up the term quickly?”

“Then I die!”

“This is new, but people don’t die that easily.”

Tanya squeezed her eyes together, showing a look of frustration at the world, then quickly shook her head.

“If you can’t voluntarily resign, you can be usurped. Or at least impeached…”

“What other strange thoughts are you thinking about?”

“If I stretch out my feet saying I won’t work and get lost, what will I do at the school?! I have to appoint a substitute by crying and eating mustard!”

Tanya looked up at the stack of papers in the president’s seat. The amount is so huge, honestly, I don’t think I’ll be able to read it all today even if I read it diagonally.

“I won’t take care of all of this! I don’t know! Do whatever you want! If you lie down like that, the school administration will become a mess, so I’ll give you a disciplinary measure or not! I don’t know! I’m not going to work… !”

“… Well, if that’s the case… President, you can do as you please…”

Ziggs rested his chin on his head for a moment, then sighed and sat down on the wooden desk in the corner of the office.

“The fact that so many agendas are being passed on to the president means that the president’s work is affecting many people within the school.”

“…Ugh.”

“Then, how many students and faculty members have to lay down their hands while the president is lying on his bed, not working? There are a lot of people waiting for the president’s approval stamp.”

“That’s… unfortunate, but…”

responsibility!

Ziggs Eiffelstein knows.

A girl named Tanya Rosteiler is a girl who can never let go of her innate sense of responsibility…!

“I also… have my circumstances…”

However, with a painful face, he somehow resisted. Indeed… I’ve definitely grown as much as my willpower…

“… Elka’s asthma has gotten worse, so I’m also worried these days.”

“…Eek… suddenly…?”

“She is a girl who is no different from my lifelong friend… but I am worried because she insists on not stopping her studies even though her chronic illness is getting worse day by day.”

“That… that’s why all of a sudden…”

“Still, for students who come to Sylvania to continue their studies in such a poor environment, the student council has come up with a plan to give priority to students with diseases to attend classes or to give priority to good rooms for recuperation. Were you pushing?”

Ziggs was staring at the pile of papers with a blank expression.

“Somewhere in between, that resolution must be mixed.”

“That… I should have told you that earlier…! I just need to take care of that issue first! Why are you saying it now!”

“It’s not good to receive such special treatment just because you belong to the student council.

Ziggs closed his eyes and spoke straight.

“Each of the agendas piled up in this file tower may mean a lot to someone, or it could be an agenda that has been waiting for a long time like me. It must be the result of one accumulation.”

“…Ughh, kuh…..”

“Knowing that, I couldn’t ask you to prioritize and deal with only the issues I wanted.”

When the deadline for handling these items starts to push back, someone in the academic community who has been waiting eagerly may let out a sigh of lamentation again.

“If work continues to be sluggish, those agendas will continue to pile up without even being answered.”

Tanya also knows to some extent. Truly urgent agendas rise to the top of the priority list, but even other agendas cannot be put off easily.

She is also aware of how high-ranking she is. That’s why Ziggs knows.

Tanya is absolutely not the kind of person who can lie down here saying, “I don’t know.”

“You think saying that… will shake me?!”

“…”

“Umm… ugh…….”

“…”

“Ugh……. Ughuh……. Got it…”

Tanya closed her eyes tightly as if in pain… and shut her mouth… and slowly began to underline the approval documents.

“Really….. Really… I… ugh… ugh ugh…….”

It’s a face that looks like it’s being tortured, but in the end it’s my choice.

No matter what she does… she’s a girl who can’t be free from responsibility…

In the end, you always walk back into the swamp of work on your own feet.

It was a sight that made it impossible not to shed tears.

“Chairman Tanya came to visit me the other day. It was when senior Ed was at the monastery. It was unexpected in many ways.”

Two days had passed since I returned from Cledric Monastery.

Maybe it was because I had accumulated so far, but I didn’t feel like I was falling behind even when I attended classes. It was very fortunate.

But that doesn’t mean I was free to play while I was living in the monastery.

I have been training my repair skills since the monastery. Finally, I was able to properly handle my bow making skills, so I started preparing to make a bow that fits my body perfectly.

In the process, it was inevitable that he would visit Elte Corporation.

It was because there was no one in Sylvania who could procure better materials than Lortel.

“In the last student president election, I was in a position of complete confrontation with president Tanya, right? I don’t have a good relationship with the undergraduate student either. But since the student president personally visited Elte Corporation… I was a bit embarrassed.”

A car that tried to purchase good materials through Lortel.

Before getting into the main topic, Lortel, who was sitting in the office, said she had something to say and brought up the topic of Tanya.

“Really? What did you talk about when you came?”

“It’s a little… I went with a somewhat incomprehensible word and action.”

Isn’t Lortel better at reading people’s minds than anyone else? If even she is confused, what kind of picture is Tanya drawing?

“They said they heard all the gossip about the corruption of Elte Co., and they said they would inspect at the academic level, and they said they didn’t have such authority.”

“That’s not… a bit tanya-like.”

“Is that right? I didn’t bother to take an aggressive stance against Elte Co., but it was a bit strange.”

Tanya is in a busy position. If he had to visit the main building of Elte Trading Co., it would have been absolutely necessary.

“As the student council president, he will always keep an eye on Elte Corporation. He threatened that as long as he sat in the student president’s seat, Elte Corporation would never be able to spread his wings freely.”

“Oh… did you feel bad, Lortel?”

“Yes? Well, to begin with, I was Ed’s younger brother, and I thought that there must be an intention behind his sudden move, so I didn’t feel emotionally upset.”

office at sunset. Lortel, sitting astride a luxurious office desk with auburn hair hanging down to one side, had her back against the reddish glow of the late evening sky.

A cool early autumn wind blows through the fluttering curtains. A picture of a peaceful time.

Even though Tanya came in and threatened him like that, he showed no signs of agitation. He’s not even a human to be that upset in the first place.

“But I was a bit puzzled because I couldn’t read his intentions at all. The bachelor and our company weren’t on good terms in the first place, but why did he bother to show up? things.”

“Yes, yes…!”

Secretary Rienna, who has once again taken the position of Lortel’s chief secretary, still has that hesitant attitude.

He still seems to lack confidence in everything he does. However, the work progressed faster than expected. In the first place, since I have Lortel, who is no different from the king of the Elte Company, as my back, there will be no particular distance.

“So, I did some background research on Chairman Tanya. It turns out that our company wasn’t the only one who did such bizarre things.”

“okay?”

“Yes.. They say there was friction with the undergraduate headquarters, and they ordered students to wear uniforms in front of the student center saying they would discipline students, and put pressure on student clubs to inspect them… Anyway, these days, there have been a lot of such external activities. .”

Lortel spoke while tilting her head as she brushed her glossy hair.

“If anyone sees it, they act like they want some dissatisfaction with them.”

“Certainly… Even from the standpoint of Elte Company, it would be embarrassing to talk about inspections so suddenly.”

“It seems that there is something they want, but since they don’t talk clearly, it’s a bit frustrating on this side as well.”

Lortel’s office was more cluttered than before. Now, as if to prove that this branch is completely in her hands, her personal items and daily necessities are often caught in the eye.

“There’s already an integrated competition this semester, right? It’s a big event where even Emperor Chloel is attending.

“He must have his own thoughts. The last time we met, he seemed a little tired.”

I had seen Tanya once before going to Cledric Monastery. He would say a lot of complaints about this and that, but he certainly had a vision for the future of the Ross Taylor family and the work of the student council.

“Then the public opinion of the students must not have improved too much. I wonder if the mentality is okay.”

“No. The student support for President Tanya right now is unparalleled among past presidents.”

“…what?”

“The fact that the Roth Taylor family has been steadfastly continuing their work even in the face of adverse events. As a freshman, they are faithful in treating their seniors with respect. That they are not negligent in their studies while handling a huge workload. Listening to the opinions of the clubs and each class. To be honest, it’s a level where it’s burdensome for us to check it because the supporters are certain. I don’t have the intention to check it in the first place.”

I took a bite of the tea that Rienna’s secretary had given me and spoke in a bewildered tone.

“I heard you just committed all sorts of unlikable moves?”

“Even the same behavior can be interpreted differently depending on whether the gaze is favorable or hostile.”

“then…?”

“It seems that the act of rioting to discipline students is being interpreted from the perspective of our wonderful student president who is strict in discipline and knows how to distinguish between public and private…”

“…”

I thought of Tanya sitting in the president’s office, staring at the papers with rotten eyes.

Suddenly, Rienna’s assistant, who brought a ticket with a listing for sale along with a new car, helped.

“Student president Tanya… looking at it objectively, isn’t she cool? She’s a freshman, but what should I say… she has an aura like a senior…”

“okay…?”

“Everyone knows how hard you are working for the students, so they are considerate of President Tanya. I heard that the student clubs are also voluntarily donating the missing reporting funds.”

Certainly, Tanya is a girl who is passionate about everything.

Even after rising to the position of student council president, his attitude toward life hasn’t changed, and he seems to be grumbling and running around from east to west.

Even a girl who only knew Roth Taylor had a new conviction, and in the end, didn’t she even rise to the presidency of her own will?

Indeed…. It’s admirable…!

Yes, admirable is the most appropriate expression.

“Isn’t the reason why they are taking such aggressive steps to deal with possible violations of student rights in advance? I think so. I can’t read the exact intention, but… if it’s the president, it must mean something.”

Lienna’s secretary spoke of Tanya in words that were close to affirmations.

“Certainly… Tanya is a trustworthy kid.”

I also said so.

Tanya, who has undergone a lot of growth in her heart, has now become a person who can stand tall as the next head of the family of Ross Taylor.

Well, since I’m in the position of being possessed, it’s a bit ambiguous to see that we’re in a true brother-sister relationship, but…

Still, isn’t it the only remaining blood relation in this vast world?

Pushing when you can… it’s definitely right…!

Because Tanya… suffered too much…!

Having lived in the dark for too long, it’s okay to see the light in the golden age of life…!

“If Tanya’s behavior was offensive, I apologize as my brother. Lortel.”

“Uh, oh my… It’s even more embarrassing for Ed to apologize. Please don’t apologize to me. I didn’t feel bad at all.”

“No… But, I want to believe in him and push him.”

I have definitely spoken

“If possible, next year, he will serve as the student council president again… I hope we do everything in our power…! Lortel, please believe in him too!”

I squeezed both of Lortel’s hands tightly and expressed my intention as if I had made up my mind.

Lortel must have been very embarrassed by the sudden message of her will, so she looked down while hesitating.

“Seo, if seniors say that, then I don’t have any intention of objecting.

“Yes. Thank you for trusting me. Lortel.”

“Hey, what’s wrong with this…”

Lortel sighed as if trying to maintain her composure, then spoke slowly.

“You know that this time President Tanya selected only students from famous aristocratic families to call the meeting, right? Senior Ed was probably included.”

“That’s right. Rather than a problem within the school, it seems like they’re talking about the future imperial politics.”

“That side will definitely have to give power to President Tanya. I’m a commoner, so I won’t be able to attend… Senior Ed has a different position, right?”

Lortel tended to work behind the scenes, but she wasn’t the type to attend meetings like that.

“I don’t know what the purpose of the convening was, but I think it would be right to go in the direction of pushing, thinking that everyone will have their thoughts anyway.”

“Yes. In the meantime, please take good care of me.”

“Of course. We, Elte Firm, and the Student Council will always maintain a friendly relationship.”

Lortel smiled like a squirrel and met my eyes.

The very fact of a trusting relationship in which they could give and receive without any doubt seemed to be a great pleasure for Lortel.

*- ‘As a token of respect for student council president Tanya, who always works hard for the real power of students, 80 pieces of high-quality wooden furniture that can be newly used in Obel Hall, a decorative goat statue directly from the Imperial City, I’m sending you an annual membership to Laplace Bakery as a gift.’

– ‘I sincerely appreciate the hard work of the student members who always enforce justice and maintain order.’

– ‘Sent to Elte Sanghoe Sylvania Branch, Hoeju Deputy Lortel Kecheln.’

In front of the Obel Hall, which is used by student members, all kinds of old furniture and decorative statues were dignified just by looking at them.

Upon hearing the news, the student members who rushed out were shocked with their mouths wide open.

In addition, there were many students who received free annual membership of Laplace Bakery, which is the most famous in the living area. All of them had expressions on their faces that raised the corners of their mouths in happiness.

“Hey, from this side~! We have to unload our luggage from here. We’ll go inside! Let’s fill the office first! Remove all the furniture we used before and just do it!”

Already, the executive committee members were carrying the furniture that had been brought in as gifts all at once.

And, Tanya Rosteiler herself, who came out the latest, stood still with her mouth wide open as she looked at the scenery in front of the Obel building.

“That… Chairman…”

The head of the 4th year combat team and the head of the entire team, student member Dike Elferlan, with short-cropped hair and a heavy body, said with a puzzled expression.

“On Elte Co.’s side, the people who were stomping their feet because they couldn’t be persuaded even at the academic headquarters… What kind of trick did you use…?”

Tanya stared at Dyke with wide eyes, then, without a word, returned her gaze to the scenery of the luggage carrier.

Tanya, for sure, I don’t know, I don’t know what to do, but anyway, with the mindset of impeaching me, she went to Elte Corporation, the most concerned group in the school, and caused a stir. It was a feeling of half-desperation.

What punishment will you receive in return? Tanya was also waiting nervously, but the blade of condemnation flew in an unexpected and terrible way.

“Wow, wow… Did Elte Co. really send all of this?!”

“I’ve never seen Elte Co. move so amicably toward the school…”

“I heard that President Tanya went all the way to the store building to hold a meeting the other day… What kind of magic did you use to come here…?”

“That snarky Lortel Kecheln respects and cares for the undergraduate side this far…?”

“Yeah.. is it also President Tanya…”

“Really… I can’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes…”

In the front yard of Obel Hall filled with piles of presents, not only student members but also students passing by were whispering in surprise.

“This is really… You’re going to serve until next year…?”

Cold sweat began to run down Tanya’s face as if out of nowhere.

Up in the blue sky, the trusty Ed Rosteeler seemed to be giving a proud thumbs up.

It was a face that looked more satisfied than anyone else.
