71. Shouldn’t Have Come – 1

The dormitory door opened, and Aranse entered.

He came in with a serious expression, sighed, and called out to Ian and Wildy.

“I don’t know if you’ve all heard, but the student council president candidates were seriously injured by Silmarion’s rampage earlier.”

“So?”

“Rowena is the only one left. So, the instructors talked a bit…”

“Are you going to select Rowena as the final candidate for student council president after all?”

Vala asked, and Aranse nodded.

The other candidates were injured to the point where it was difficult for them to continue their activities immediately.

Even with the help of the Solar and Lunar Orders for treatment, they would need quite a bit of recovery time.

“We can’t wait for them to recover. The student council president’s position can’t be left vacant for that long. And…”

Responding to troubles like this one is also a virtue of the student council president.

Although there was no sparring, Rowena endured the rampage of the highest-level spirit without serious injury.

Also, she helped many students, so that was enough to prove her qualifications.

“So, we’re going to start the election right away without wasting time.”

If the instructors and student representatives approve, Rowena will become the student council president.

“There’s no problem, though. Isn’t it pretty much decided that she’ll be the one anyway?”

Blanche said, and Aranse lightly agreed.

The written exam and the test in the Mियल Mountains.

And even the handling of the trouble that occurred at this sparring session.

In many ways, Rowena was the most suitable for student council president.

“Anyway, both of you, come to the main building before dinner. The election process will be then.”

It was called an election process, but it would be a formality.

Most of the instructors thought Rowena would be fine.

He spoke simply and groaned.

“Still, that anonymous letter is bothering me.”

“Anonymous letter? What anonymous letter?”

Haroon asked, puzzled, and Aranse hesitated before telling the story of the anonymous letter sent to the instructors.

The letter said that Rowena would be killed if she became the student council president.

Until now, there had been no black propaganda, slander, threats, or schemes in the student council president elections.

But there had never been anyone who showed such a strong will as to send anonymous letters to the instructors.

“Just in case, I’m thinking of increasing the security personnel at her inauguration ceremony.”

“Shouldn’t the student council president be able to withstand that kind of danger alone?”

Wilbal said, and Aranse nodded.

But if a bloody incident that didn’t have to happen could be avoided, wouldn’t that be better?

While the two were talking, Haroon grabbed Ian.

“You’re going to the inauguration ceremony, right?”

“Unless something special comes up, I’ll go. Why?”

“Still, she’s your cousin. I’ll feel relieved if you go.”

Haroon smiled and expressed relief.

As evening came, Ian and Wildy headed to the main building.

In the main building’s conference room, preparations were already underway for the election.

As the instructors and student representatives took their seats, Pridion, the senior instructor representative, spoke calmly.

“Now, we will begin the student council president election. Student council president candidate, Rowena Salt, please come forward.”

Was it because of the battle that had taken place earlier in the day?

She came out with traces of injury still remaining.

“If you have any questions, please ask.”

Starting with his words, questions from instructors and students followed.

Most of the questions were about how she would run the academy if she became president.

And questions about mission selection and execution.

Rowena gave proper answers to those questions without hesitation.

Everyone was satisfied with that.

And when the unsatisfactory conversation was over, Wildy grabbed Ian.

“Ian. Do you know that you’re the only one who hasn’t said anything right now?”

Rowena seemed to know that too.

As her eyes looked at him, Ian said nonchalantly.

“It’s fine if you become the student council president, but I hope you don’t bother me with it. And don’t try to use me.”

Aranse and the other instructors nodded at his response.

The academy should be grateful enough that he remains here.

Ian’s existence alone can prevent most of the forces that could threaten the academy.

Rowena agreed with that part, so she didn’t deny it much.

But there was something she was curious about in her own way.

“I have a question too. Ian, what are you trying to do at the academy?”

“I’m going to make this my territory. I was thinking about going somewhere else, but I don’t think I need to.”

‘Why bother creating from scratch when I can just use what’s already here?’

‘Even if I do that, I’ll still have to manage people in the end. If that’s the case, it’s better to use the academy.’

When Ian answered Kirke, Rowena smiled.

“So, you’re going to stop problems from happening at the academy?”

“Like what happened earlier? I have to do that much. Ah. But don’t bring your enemies to the academy. You could become my enemy too.”

“I have no intention of doing that. There’s a saying, ‘Don’t disturb a sleeping lion.'”

No one at the academy is unaware of Ian’s power.

As long as he remains at the academy.

And as long as he doesn’t cause any major problems, that alone is enough to show a favorable attitude.

She had no intention of causing problems by picking a fight for no reason.

“If you want, I can officially appoint you as the guardian of the academy.”

“I don’t need that. And there are some facilities I need. Can I get some support to build them?”

“What kind of facilities?”

Wildy asked, and he replied casually.

“A new furnace, a new enchantment practice room, and some alchemy equipment and other facilities. I want to change those.”

“I agree.”

“I acknowledge it too.”

“I want that too.”

The instructors who used the facilities Ian was talking about also agreed.

Rowena smiled at them.

“I can get that by requesting it from the student council and the academy. The one who is in the ranks of the strongest has promised to protect us. We can reduce the budget for security and other matters, so don’t worry.”

After that, Ian made a few more requests, and she coolly accepted them.

They decided to talk more about the details later, and everyone’s Q&A session ended.

“Then let’s check whether you agree or disagree right away.”

“Isn’t she the only one who can be president anyway since there are no other candidates?”

Hound’s words made Valentine smile bitterly.

Aranse sighed and said to them.

“It’s unlikely, but if Rowena is rejected here, we’ll have to review the candidates again after the sparring session. That’s the academy’s tradition.”

Of course, the academy would be run without a student council until then.

The instructors and student representatives shook their heads because they didn’t want that.

Without a student council, the instructors and students would have to share the various problems that arise at the academy until then.

So, they had to elect a student council president and build a new student council as soon as possible.

“Then let’s start. Those who oppose Rowena, please raise your hand.”

No one raised their hand in this place.

And with this, the student council president election was concluded.

“The student council president election ended surprisingly quickly and futilely.”

As Wildy said, coming out with Ian, Aranse shrugged.

Originally, the student council president election should have a more intense discussion.

Sometimes that discussion lasts for a week.

“It’s a relief that it ended quickly. Anyway, the inauguration ceremony for the student council president will be in four days after the follow-up processing is completed.”

“Do you think an assassination attempt will really be made?”

“Who knows? That’s why Instructor Pridion and the Dean are also planning to attend.”

“Is that so?”

“Security personnel have been added there… Unless it’s something incredibly strong, it will be difficult to break through that defense.”

Aranse, who had brought up the topic, looked at Ian, who was not at an ordinary strong level.

“You’re not going to kill her, are you?”

“I can kill her now if you want.”

“I was joking. A joke. Why are you responding so fiercely? Anyway, you both worked hard.”

He smiled and patted the two on the shoulders and stroked Miane’s head.

As Miane whimpered quietly, he waved his hand and headed to the instructor’s dormitory.

“By the way, I’m really worried about what will happen. Who sent that anonymous letter? Is it one of the student council president candidates after all?”

“Yeah.”

“Huh? Ian. Do you know who the culprit is?”

“I know.”

It’s Ian after all.

Wildy was relieved at his words that he already knew.

“There are many guards, and Ian is there too, so there won’t be any problems. With that much, the culprit won’t move recklessly, right?”

“Who knows? No one can predict what a crazy person will do.”

“But you can stop them, can’t you?”

“Why do you think I’m being quiet even though I know who the culprit is?”

Ian smiled, and Wildy was startled.

“Don’t tell me the culprit might use a demon?”

“There’s a possibility.”

“And you’re staying quiet to make them summon the demon?”

“Yeah. It doesn’t come when I call it. So, I have to borrow someone else’s hand.”

As he nodded, Wildy felt bitter.

“Still, would they make a deal with a demon when you’re here? And just to become the student council president?”

If they get caught making a deal with a demon, it’s over.

No matter how much, would they try to walk such a dangerous path?

Ian smirked at her denial.

“They say that people want to prevent others from having what they can’t have. And what can’t they do when they’re crazy? Anyway, I don’t know if a demon will come or an assassin will come.”

The bait has been thrown, so he could only hope that the crazy idiot driven by love and hate would move well.

He opened the door to the dormitory lobby.

In the lobby, several students, including Haroon and Park Bare, were gathered together playing chess.

“Oh, oh, oh!!”

Wilbal, who had lost to Haroon earlier and had his eternal ice taken away, shouted while looking at the chess board.

Haroon and Oerina were playing now.

It seemed that what the two brilliant wizards hadn’t seen was visible from the outside.

“Wilbal! Shut up!”

“I’m so upset that I’m betting with that bow. Oerina, are you going to give it to me if you win?”

“Are you crazy?”

“Oh, oh, oh! Haroon! Oh, oh!”

Wilbal was interfering to prevent Oerina from getting the bow that he couldn’t get.
