Chapter 1005 – #241_Society Founding Ceremony (6)
#999
One.
Public opinion refers to the feelings, thoughts, and attitudes shared by an unspecified majority.
Since humans are social animals, it is difficult for any individual to be free from the current of public opinion.
For example, Siwoo’s evaluation, which has been driven to the bottom of the abyss after the gossip magazine’s exposure, was spread to those around him who hadn’t thought much of it, forming negative public opinion.
Especially in Gehenna, being embroiled in such a dishonorable scandal, his position was narrowed at once.
But here’s the funny thing.
The point is that even such negative public opinion can turn in the opposite direction, assuming that the momentum is provided.
Siu and Count Adonai performed a breathtaking waltz close to acrobatics.
The Count clenched his fists, seemingly reviving the thrill from earlier.
“I never thought I could dance this well.”
“…”
“I will go now. Good job finishing.”
“It was a good time.”
There were many things I wanted to say, but I couldn’t put them into my mouth.
After the ball started, no one asked Siwoo to dance, and even that was not enough, no one even talked to him.
Count Adonai’s biggest contribution is that he created an ‘opportunity’ to change the flow of public opinion, not just an opportunity to show off his dance.
“I was really impressed.”
Baron Louisa Moiety, who had received her first high-priced tutoring last time, greeted her while slightly spreading the hem of her dress.
He had a fairly high position at the Emerald Tablet.
“Baron Moiety.”
When I politely greeted him, he slightly averted his eyes and vaguely raised the corner of his mouth.
Negative public opinion also plays a role in suppressing the behavior of people around you.
Baron Moiety also had a crush on Siwoo to some extent, but he couldn’t come forward because he was worried about the eyes of the people around him, and that must have been embarrassing.
I have no intention of blaming it for being calculated.
Isn’t that how things work in the world?
“You look much nicer than the last home visit.”
“It is an honour. Now that you say that, you’re saving face.”
“Yes?”
“If nothing had changed, I would have been embarrassed to ask Moiety to dance.”
“Oh my gosh, even a joke.”
These words and actions can be self-inflicted.
The reason Shin Si-woo’s public opinion is the worst is because he was pointed out for his female bias, and even if the conversation he just made was a joke, it’s kind of flirting.
However, the core of the Charisma Project is a head-on breakthrough.
It’s not a pillar book, it’s Casanova.
Reversing the difference in tone with charisma and atmosphere.
If so, you can see how Siwoo’s attempt was by looking at the reactions around him.
“Oh, I was going to try it first…”
“You speak very nicely.”
“You saw me dancing with Count Adonai just now, right? He was a gentleman himself.”
An attitude that knows how to show appropriate composure while maintaining formality.
A smirk that isn’t too greasy and a movement that feels disciplined restraint.
A feeling of consideration for a partner that can be felt implicitly.
And what stands out above all else is confidence.
In general, when a scandal like that opens up and bad back stories come out from all over the world, it’s bound to shrink.
However, there is no such shrinking attitude in his attitude so far.
Here again comes the mysterious character of public opinion.
The recent scandal of Siwoo is not a serious moral flaw or a matter of trust, but it is the realm of gossip.
At a time like this, what the public wants is not a sincere apology, explanation, or reflection.
Now, those who criticize Siu most passionately and lead public opinion are only rushing at them because there is a ‘number of cases’ in the car they do not like in the first place.
It would be fortunate if they held their tongues and didn’t get more sarcastic. There’s no way they could get an honest explanation.
In that case, it is better to act coolly.
It’s better to prove your manly side and show off your confidence that you don’t care about gossip.
“It begins.”
“You seem to be doing better than before?”
The dance with Baron Moiety shocked more people than Count Adonai.
Unlike Count Adonai, he is Baron Moiety with good basic skills.
As she dances with Siu, she realizes that what she thought was a waltz was not really a waltz.
How can you be such a good lead?
The ability of a leader to direct the next move with subtle pressure, like a whisper.
Care that compensates for her weaknesses with strength and enhances her strengths by assisting her sense of balance.
The tip of the toe wearing shoes is light as if it will fly off.
The heaviness like a mountain that is felt throughout the body in contact is on a different level than when dancing with other dancers or witches.
On top of that, the outer face that blazes with passion whenever our eyes meet every once in a while…
“Wow, it was an ecstatic time.”
“It was an honor for me to be able to spend time with Moiety.”
After one waltz, Baron Moiety, who couldn’t take his eyes off Siu’s face with a flushed face, seemed unable to hide the girlish appearance of her first love.
But no one at the ballroom could laugh at the moiety.
It’s not just because the waltz that followed the second time was beautiful.
A rare prostitute, a playboy.
Mistakes that made gossip magazine cover Siwoo’s true face.
As such corruption is swept away by the current of reversed public opinion, the atmosphere of a homme fatale is emerging like a legendary underwater city.
“If you think about it, isn’t he a really great person?”
“Yes. First of all, she’s a great witch. It’s a man, too.”
“He was handsome enough to curse me.”
“Since he was born as a slave, I thought his etiquette would be poor… Was he originally from the upper class?”
“I can see some shortcomings.”
“That’s true, but I rather like the roughness of it. It doesn’t feel like a flower in a greenhouse, but like a hero who has accumulated all sorts of practical experience, doesn’t it?”
“Right, right. You said you subdued two of the 22nd tier achievements.”
“Is there another one besides the Witch of the Reversal?”
“I did not know? The Witch of Desire was also killed by Shin Si-woo.”
“Oh my god!”
The southeast wind blows
Little by little, a reevaluation begins to happen.
The evaluation was not limited to Siwoo.
“Who was the lover in the article?”
“It was a bit much.”
“However… I don’t know if it’s a bit funny to say this, but if it’s that much, it’s not that the ability is outstanding… Would you?”
“How can you say such frivolous words!”
“No, no, listen to me. At first, I thought I was pushing around like a male dog in heat with a shiny face. But look at those faces again. You even have Duke Tiphareth, who is unparalleled in being upright.”
“…”
“Isn’t she one of the greatest people who will not regret each and every one of them to be seduced by her face alone?”
“Is it? But. It does.”
“Right? Most of all, I see that there is no word of war in the family of Count Zemonai. If he has done something serious or cheated, the engagement should have been broken off long ago.”
“Isn’t that strange? Your family is famous for their pride.”
“That is what I mean. It’s just that Baron Shin Si-woo himself is such a nice person, so wouldn’t the count family condone it?”
“I don’t know that far… I know it’s not out of the ordinary.”
There were still people who grumbled or were dissatisfied with the current situation, but their voices were buried by the dance request for Si-woo.
“Academy president? Would it be all right if I danced with you?”
“Maybe next time…”
Siwoo happily accepted all requests and perfectly digested the remaining 8 waltz songs.
The lucky witches who were able to partner with him were mesmerized by his magical dance skills and atmosphere.
As a speaker of powerful performance, without any compensation, he emphasized how ecstatic his dancing with Siwoo was and how gentle he was when he had a close conversation.
“I lost half of my life…”
“As expected, it was wrong to judge people only by listening to what others say.”
“He was a handsome, beastly gentleman.”
“It would be nice if you could spread dating rumors with me too.”
In this way, the founding ceremony and after-party of the society were successfully concluded with a grand finale.
2.
These achievements were not something that Siu could have achieved through his own efforts.
This was only possible with the help and assistance of lovers and acquaintances.
We will make sure to pay a reasonable price for it.
Right now, she is in a position to sell her feet to find talented people and open a department that is lacking, but one day many witches will line up to become the head of the department at the Hesed Society, and it will be a position that everyone covets.
That’s exactly what it is.
A modestly prepared after-party for the successful founding ceremony.
Not only the lovers, but also Alice, Periwinkle, Sophia, mother-in-law, and Count Yesod came to enjoy the revelry, but the after-party was slowly coming to an end, and now only the lovers were left.
Sharon, who is very drunk, is having a lot of fun while holding her bottle like a microphone.
“HEY, hello everyone, do you know who I am?”
“Professor Sharon!”
“Today I am the brightest star in the Witch Society!”
“Sexy! Do!
Sharon unnie, whom we are close to, is excited, so she is a twin who responds with excitement by shouting slogans.
Everyone was willing to take up the position of professor for Siwoo, but Sharon was my favorite among them.
“Siwoo, thank you so much. It really is the best day of my life!”
“No, that’s something I should be grateful for.”
“Absolutely not! If it wasn’t for you, how would I be in this position?”
Sharon jumped up and hugged Siwoo and kissed him on the cheek.
Sharon, who had not had a stable job due to her incomplete succession, has now become a decent dean in charge of a department.
Due to the nature of the society, which has a short history and tradition, one of the merits put forward for recruiting the dean was the salary, so now Sharon is also an honorable high-paid salaryman.
“Siwoo, today was really cool.”
“You must be busy because of the late reservation, but thank you very much for taking care of it.”
“It’s Siwoo’s business, not anyone else’s.”
Amelia, with her cheeks burning, also congratulates.
“I was counting on you to do well. There is only one thing left to do better.”
Encouragement from Master.
“Everyone remember, without Jim’s help, this conference wouldn’t have started.”
“What.”
“Because we lent you money?”
“What is it?”
As usual, Leruye, who was proud of himself, immediately jumped into battle at the twins’ tackle.
Due to the atmosphere, it’s time to break the meeting.
“I’ll be really busy from tomorrow. I would like to finish here today.”
From tomorrow, we need to start building the curriculum in earnest.
I’ve taken the time to come up with a framework, but I’ll have to go into systematization and standardization work to use it in class.
At that time.
“Siwoo-kun.”
“Denev.
The door opened and Deneb entered.
“I got a call from Emerald Tablet.”
“Is that so?”
Even so, at this late hour, did Deneb need to come and deliver it?
These doubts were clearly resolved in her next words.
“It’s an invitation from the president of the society.”
She reached out her hand from the emerald tablets of the two great schools that supported Gehenna much earlier than planned.
