Episode 38

‘Why are you looking here all of a sudden?’
Sean frowned.
It was because I couldn’t understand why my sister was suddenly acting like that.
No, he was clearly wearing a robe. How did you recognize him?
One by one!
In addition, he suddenly laughs in an unpleasant way.
Sean frowned, wondering if the older sister had eaten something wrong.
‘hmm?’
Then, too late, he realized that Tasha’s eyes were fixed on the person right next to him, not on him.
‘no way… ‘Elric?’
Sean widened his eyes.
Even if you were like that, how did you know about this guy? I’m sure you just thought Elric was in the hospital?
or not… Is it just a coincidence?
‘That can’t be possible!’
Sean knew Tasha better than anyone else.
My sister who is always confident, arrogant, and greedy.
He was a person who never made a move unless he was sure.
That means I noticed something about Elric.
I wondered where the information had leaked out, and if they had really noticed, I wondered if they would cause some kind of disruption, and I was nervous for no reason.
“… .”
Elric was still just looking at the podium with an excited expression on his face.
* * *
“… So, it was my fault for making a mistake and creating a social issue. However, we can achieve results like this only after going through these challenges and failures several times, so we will continue to pursue this.”
The moment Professor Verrux finished the final speech he had prepared, he sensed his victory.
‘done! The position of president is mine!’
Although he embellished it with various words, the promise he made was very simple.
It was his own skill that earned him the right to excavate, and he plans to build a system so that such great discoveries can continue to be made in the future.
It was something that Academy officials could not help but be interested in.
Moreover, he did not forget to reach out to the Magic Tower to some extent.
It was proposed to participate in the excavation as an ‘advisor’.
Although they were rivals for excavation rights not long ago, Magic Tower still had the right to vote. If one were to consider entering politics in the future, one should never have one as an enemy.
‘okay. Because there are no eternal enemies in the face of a cause. I guess I’ll have to keep Sean Neresta by my side as well. It’s annoying that I have to leave that ungrateful bastard alone, but… ! Still, like Siesta said, you have to look far, far away.’
Lazuli… All of the advice Carol gave was like gold to Professor Verlux, and before he knew it, he was immersed in Siesta.
Look at it now.
Aren’t all the eyes of election representatives directed towards you positive?
‘Isn’t there only a rosy future for me? Wouldn’t I be able to treat that as a light happening with my generosity and virtue? ha ha ha!’
Professor Verlux suppressed the laughter that threatened to escape his lips.
“Oooh! Go away! Murderer! fraud!”
“What kind of politics are you here for? go away!”
“hmm! “Isn’t it okay to expand scholarship support for cadets?”
“I don’t think there’s any need to protest this much… .”
Even the simultaneous applause and booing from the audience seemed like cheers to him.
“All candidates, please take a seat… “Then let’s start voting.”
Following the host’s instructions, Professor Verrux sat down with a cheerful expression on his face.
The results were obvious even without looking.
Still, he wanted to enjoy this moment to the fullest.
“hmm… .”
“It seems like everyone already has some candidates in mind, so let’s proceed right away.”
The election representatives prepared to raise signs one by one, pondering the decisions of the organizations they each represent.
Most of them had already guessed that Dean Verex had the upper hand, and had concluded some kind of deal with him.
So there was nothing to worry about.
Still, I don’t want it to show on the outside, and for the sake of respect, I’m trying to pretend I’m struggling.
“Not all election representatives have gathered yet, right? “So you’re telling me you’re already starting?”
Suddenly, someone stood up in the middle of the audience.
“… ?”
“What is that guy?”
“Is this an objection?”
At that moment, all eyes of the election representatives, management committee members, and even the audience in the audience turned towards that direction.
A man wearing deep black robes.
There was no face, no gender or any other special features.
but.
Rather, that aspect had a magical power that strangely caught the eye.
Even though it was obviously noisy with all the cheering and chatting from the audience.
‘What is that guy?’
Professor Verux frowned slightly.
I was trying to enjoy the atmosphere, but some strange guy struck the candle and I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

So I quickly sent a glance to the host, Revan.
“Well, the head of the Mervinger family is ill, so one seat will be marked as vacant. So, we ask the audience to sit in their seats and remain quiet while voting takes place… !”
Riven was about to say something when the man suddenly pulled back the robe covering his head.
That moment.
“It’s Elric Mervinger!”
The crowd was shocked by a reporter’s shout.
“Huh, huh!”
“Uh, what happened…?” ?”
“Ma, ma, why is the shame of the Demonic Inscription here?”
“Wasn’t it what you were doing today and tomorrow?”
click!
Click, click!
The reporters instinctively sensed a scoop and even hurriedly pointed filming tools at it.
There was almost no one here who did not know Elric.
Since Elric’s name has been talked about so much, his montage has also spread quite a bit.
Even those who didn’t know or were unfamiliar with it soon opened their eyes wide when they heard the words of people around them!
“Heir of the Mervinger family, Elric Mervinger. “I would like to participate as an election representative as a pro-choice activist.”
“… !”
“… !”
“… !”
“That, that, that… !”
Riven was unable to answer hastily and rolled his eyes in Professor Verlux’s direction.
However, Professor Verlux was also in a state of shock as he went to the Verlux gallows.
‘Why is that guy here!’
Professor Verrux’s mind seemed to go blank for a moment.
Even though we couldn’t confirm it because the Neresta family was blocking the hospital room, the guy who I thought was in a coma because he hadn’t shown himself before suddenly showed up here… !
If nothing happened, it wouldn’t even be a person.
‘Siesta! Where did Siesta go?’
Professor Verlux felt somewhat ominous and quickly looked around.
It was because I instinctively felt that if I let Elric run wild like a thunderbolt, it would be really dangerous.
However, the advisor who was always by my side and provided perfect help had gone somewhere, and was not where he should have been.
‘shit! When you really need it… ! no! You must never leave him alone! ‘We have to stop it somehow!’
Professor Verlux gave Riven a look.
It means to stop him somehow.
Revan hurriedly put his mouth to the microphone.
“Eh, Elric Mervinger hiccups! 4, 4, hiccup in advance that you will participate as a representative of the Mervinger family!”
‘That stupid bastard! ‘Why are you hiccuping there?’
“You have not expressed your will, so you are not qualified to vote… !”
Elric smiled coldly as he watched his old friend hiccuping, stuttering, and busy carrying out Professor Verux’s instructions.
“You did it?”
“W-what… ?”
“It looks like the moderator didn’t check properly. “The letter of intent has already been received at headquarters before the first round of voting begins.”
“… !”
As Riven’s eyes widened, a member of the management committee suddenly ran up to the stage and whispered something to him.
“W-what… ? It has been accepted… Hiccup! Hiccup!”
“Fortunately, it seems that it was confirmed even though it was belated. “Then I will participate.”
In fact, the letter of intent was placed through Carol around the time the application period closed. So, the hosts and candidates had no choice but to remain unaware.
Elric smiled bigger as if he was glad and started walking towards the platform.
Very slow, but straight gait.
Each step was filled with weight.
Click, click!
The central hall quickly fell into silence.
Everyone swallowed dry saliva and followed him with tense gazes. The only sound I could hear was the sound of the filming tool rotating.
The more.
Professor Verlux’s complexion gradually turned white.
To him, who is clearly on the verge of becoming president, he is just a cadet.
Perhaps due to psychological pressure, Elric seemed to be gradually growing bigger.
‘How should I do this…’ ?’
Professor Verlux hurriedly looked around.
But no one paid attention to him.
Ordinary citizens sitting in the audience.
Reporters too.
There is also a professor from the Faculty Council who has quite a reputation in the academic world.
Also Vice President of the Alumni Association.
A mage dispatched from the Magic Tower.
Also high-ranking figures from the imperial family.
Everyone was looking at Elric.
Some people are fascinated, some are interesting, some are curious, and some are displeased.
Even though each person’s reaction or attitude was different, they all had one thing in common: they only looked at Elric.
“Oh.”
At that moment, Elric’s steps stopped.
Pop!
People’s gazes also stopped there.
“Before participating as an election representative, there was an issue I wanted to inform the other committee members about, but I forgot something.”
Elric stood proudly and spoke while looking at the election representatives.
It was an excessive movement that anyone could see as acting.
The shock he threw was already so great that no one felt it was unnatural.
Rather, it seemed like he was wearing his own clothes, and it even looked good on Elric.
Sean, who was watching this, smiled slightly.
Because I thought I knew what it was.
That one.
‘majesty… easy?’
You can keep a lot of people under your eyes.
A dignity that only those born with dignity can possess.
‘Even if only the façade remains, does that mean the duke is still a duke?’
Just when you think so.
“what is that?”
Tasha, who had been looking at Elric with interest, asked while raising one corner of her mouth.
“I will retrieve the excavation rights that were transferred to Woosden Academy.”
“… !”
“… !”
“Oh, no, that…” !”
“What on earth do you mean!”
“The contract for the excavation rights has not already been concluded!”
Professor Verrux’s eyes widened at the bombshell, and the election representatives who had talked with him about the right to excavation also stood up and protested.
However, Elric asked back as if he did not understand.
“This must have been a contract made without my permission, the owner of the nest? I understand that there is no contract signed by me, and there is no official document issued by my family at all. Or was there a secret contract that I didn’t know about?”
Everyone kept their mouths shut.
“If there is such a thing, I will completely nullify it. Bidding for excavation rights will be conducted fairly from the beginning under my presence.”
“… !”
“… !”
“Above all, I would like to reveal that, contrary to what is known to the public, Dean Verrux did not provide any help whatsoever with my and Sean Neresta’s discovery.”
“… .”
“… .”
“On the contrary, he even tried to rob the family’s heirlooms… Regarding this, I plan to file a separate lawsuit to file a lawsuit. Of course, there is evidence.”
“her!”
“that… !”
“It seems like you all have a lot to say, but I won’t accept any objections. “I have no reason or obligation to do so.”
Elric glanced at the frustrated election representatives.
Tasha was still laughing as if she was having fun, so I had no idea what she was thinking, but fortunately, she didn’t seem to have any intention of interfering.
and.
He laughed lightly as he looked directly at Professor Verex, who was now completely entranced.
“Then let’s proceed with voting right away.”
