Chapter 811 – 811. Magic School Strauss (6)
(Huh? The girl who passed by in front of your club room last night?)
As I listened to Claudia, I observed the woman named Ariel standing in front of me.
Golden bobbed hair that fluttered over her shoulders, a height of around 170, and…
‘A… ? B… ?’
Her slightly small breasts caught her eye.
Putting everything else aside, one thing is certain.
‘It’s pretty.’
At first glance, it looked like Karin who had cut her hair.
However, from her expression to her mood, she looked completely different from Karin.
However, while her Karin feels like a Persian cat, Ariel has the feel of a Golden Retriever.
Once I finished the appearance scan in one second, I remembered what Claudia had said to her.
‘For a moment… The girl who passed by the club room yesterday?’
I got goosebumps the moment I remembered that fact.
‘What? Could it be that she noticed that I was in the club room yesterday?’
If she knew what happened yesterday, she’s in real trouble.
If this woman had a bad heart, and even had the status of student body president, she wouldn’t be able to take care of yesterday’s work.
Well, if you ask the dean for help, the pod itself will be able to put to sleep.
However, it will not be able to stop the rumors spreading in the meantime.
As I lost myself in trouble, like a thief tripping over my feet, Ariel apologized to me in a bright voice with her cool smile.
“I’m sorry if I came to you suddenly and made you uncomfortable. I won’t hold on too long, so can we have a little chat here?”
The cool smile on Ariel’s face slowly began to erase my anxiety.
It was because Ariel’s confident smile was so charming.
‘It’ll look weird if I just refuse.’
The student council president came and asked for a conversation, but it was impossible to refuse just because it was annoying.
As I thought so, I naturally smiled and nodded her head.
“Yes, it is possible.”
I answered that and asked right away by communication.
‘Armonia, show me the temperament window.’
[All right.]
At the same time as Armonia’s answer, a temper window floated above Ariel’s head.
=====
Ariel
[Magical], [Passionate], [Extroverted], [Active], [Sincerity], [Active]…
=====
If you look only at the rough personality, you could define it in one sentence.
Passionate Student Council President.
Having defined my personality like that, I was able to cleanly erase any lingering insecurities.
“Thank you. Everyone didn’t like it when I suddenly came here as the student council president.”
I was able to realize that I didn’t come to me with bad intentions.
I calmly continued the conversation.
“I am okay. By the way, what business did you come to see me for?”
Ariel opened her mouth with a cool smile at my words.
“Since we have class ahead, I’ll tell you directly. Do you have any plans to join the student council?”
“Join the student council?”
First of all, I could see that the reason Ariel came to see me had nothing to do with what happened yesterday.
But on the other hand, I couldn’t understand it.
To think that the student president would personally come and offer her admission…
Ariel calmly continued her explanation.
“Yes. Seong Su-ho has all the conditions to join our student council, so I came here myself.”
“I have the conditions? What exactly are the conditions?”
“Let me explain briefly. The basic condition for joining the student council is to have excellent grades or to be recommended by a professor.”
What immediately came to mind was sexual excellence.
First of all, it’s a joint, but it’s because we took first place in the spring semester exam.
I smiled bitterly as I scratched my head.
“I was lucky, so I got good grades.”
“If you’re lucky enough to get first place, that’s great too. But even if my grades weren’t good, I would have come to you.”
“Yes? If you get bad grades, won’t you be removed from the list altogether?”
Anyone can see that he came here because of his grades…
Ariel opened her mouth, maintaining her cool smile.
“There was also a recommendation from the professor. Student Seong Su-ho met both conditions, so I came here myself.”
“That… May I know the name of the professor?”
Maybe not the dean?
If the real dean had personally recommended it, I would be in a difficult position.
It’s already a situation where I have to secretly go to that nobleman’s mansion to avoid being noticed by others…
I was anxious inside and waited for Ariel’s answer.
And Ariel’s answer fortunately washed away my anxiety.
“Professor Sonya recommended it.”
“Aha…”
Yes, unlike the dean, if Sonya had recommended it, there wouldn’t be any particular problem.
In Stra, the office of professor has absolute power.
Strata is where the act of recommending a professor’s personal acquaintance is rather justified.
‘Whew… I was scared because I thought that man would have done it for real.’
So relieved, I answered Ariel.
“Can you give me some time to think about it?”
“Of course. If you have any thoughts, it’s fine after school, so please come to the student council room.”
That’s how I was able to finish my conversation with Ariel.
“Then I will wait for a positive answer.”
Ariel returned to her own classroom after showing off her cool smile with her greetings.
I also started walking back to the classroom for my morning class.
As I headed to the classroom like that, I added a schedule after school.
‘I’ll go see Sonya after class.’
..
..
As soon as I finished my afternoon lecture, I went straight to Sonya.
And I immediately asked why he recommended me to the student council.
Sonya smiled at my question, and without hesitation she answered my question.
“I recommended it because I wanted the student Suho to do well.”
Sonya simply wanted me to do well, so she recommended it to the student council.
“The Student Council of Shutra is not a department with great power. As you know, the difference between a student and a professor’s authority at Strara is the difference between heaven and earth.”
As a professor, she never thought she would say something like that.
But, on the other hand, since she is a professor, I wondered if she might be able to say such a thing.
Sonya, too, must have first entered Strauss as a student.
A woman who went from being a student to a professor.
Since she experienced the two identities with her own body, she should know better how great the difference is.
“The power of the student council is weak. Instead, the student council is, on the one hand, a group that is recognized by professors.”
“Why?”
At my question, Sonya shrugged her shoulders and spoke proudly.
“Yeah, most of the professors are student council presidents. And among them I am included.”
“Uh? Did Professor Sonya also serve as the student council president?”
She knew very well that Sonya had graduated top of her class.
However, she had never heard of the fact that she even served as student president.
“Yeah, I was in charge when I was in the third grade. It wasn’t because I wanted it, but the atmosphere was like that. Should I say it’s an obsession to do something more if I want to stay in Stra? ?”
Sonya’s position was understandable.
She was Sonya in her student days, before she met Carl, and she was in her prime when she was passionately learning magic.
Besides, she was Sonya, and she was a commoner, not an aristocrat.
For Sonya at the time, becoming a professor in Stra would have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape her commoner status.
Stra’s professor is a person that even the king of a country can’t treat rudely.
‘I guess he really recommended me to do well.’
I felt grateful to Sonya.
From Sonya’s point of view, I would look like a commoner who was just as talented in magic as she was.
She is also a student who has even gained the trust of the dean.
Sonya was about to give me the opportunity of her lifetime as well as she had.
I scratched my head and smiled awkwardly.
“Professor Sonya, thank you for your concern. However, I am worried that I will make a mistake after entering on the recommendation of the professor.”
“Whoops, don’t worry about that. As I said before, the student council is not a place that plays a big role. It is a place that serves as a bridge between seniors and juniors in the future.”
I could understand more and more why Sonya recommended me.
The student council has always been centered around honor students, and if you enter the student council, you will naturally make friends with honor students.
And if you get close to the upperclassmen of the student council, you will naturally be able to get the genealogy of past exams.
In other words, just having excellent students join the student council was the secret to maintaining excellence.
But I couldn’t be happy with this situation.
‘I don’t need…’
To be honest, I didn’t need such connections.
It’s enough to ask the dean for the next exam to solve it.
The only thing that mattered to me was Louis and Luna and Karin who were around him.
‘Wait, then should I go in with Luna?’
I asked Sonya, thinking of ways to help Luna’s future.
“Then can Luna also join the student council?”
Sonya answered me weakly in her voice full of regret.
“Ah… Unfortunately, that is impossible.”
“Uh? Is Luna on the same rank as me?”
Luna shared first place with me in this test.
According to the student council president’s words earlier, Luna and she met the conditions to join the student council.
But why do you say no?
Sonya looked around her and made sure no one was there before she whispered quietly to me.
“Actually, this is a secret… There are a few more conditions to join the student council.”
“Uh? Something?”
“Once the first… You must be a commoner.”
“Yes… ?”
It was a very unreasonable condition.
Strata was famous for not discriminating against students’ ranks.
I never imagined that there would be reverse discrimination in such a place.
But there was a reason for such secret reverse discrimination.
“Sutra is an educational institution created to protect peace. Wouldn’t it be a headache if the son of an aristocrat with enormous influence in a country became a professor?”
“Ah…”
One or two will be fine.
However, if the sons of nobles became professors, a faction could arise and cause chaos in Stra.
Even if a problem arises, everything will be settled on the dean’s line, but it’s best to make sure that no problem arises.
In the end, Luna was able to find out that she was not eligible to join the student council.
And after confirming that Luna was not qualified to join, I was able to make a hole for her to escape again.
“Professor Sonya… Can’t I fall for that too?”
It was just annoying, but I was able to find a hole to get out of using Luna as an excuse.
“… Is it because of student Luna?”
“Yes. There is only Luna and me in the club, but she is sorry for leaving Luna alone.”
On the surface, it was a very good excuse that had no problems at all.
She felt sorry for Sonya for recommending it, but Sonya knows the relationship between me and Luna well, so she will understand.
It was the moment I wanted to get out of there.
“But there is one more condition other than the one before.”
“Uh? What is that?”
The black flower of anxiety bloomed again on the relieved grass.
However, after listening to Sonya’s condition, the black flower bloomed and withered again and began to rot.
“Aristocrats who can’t afford to pay tuition can join.”
Simply put, it meant that a fallen aristocrat who had a hard time exerting influence in the country was possible.
If it was the old Luna, she would have met the conditions to join.
The family had collapsed, and there was almost no personal property.
However, now, Luna was in a situation where she had also raised her family and even gained her territory.
She had become a person who did not meet the conditions again.
“In the end, Luna must be having a hard time.”
“Yes that’s right. Luna students are difficult.”
But I was puzzled by Sonya’s cool answer.
If you tried to convince me, the last condition was because you didn’t have to tell me.
When I looked at Sonya with a puzzled expression, Sonya let out a deep sigh as she looked at me.
“However… Suho’s other friends seemed to meet that condition.”
“Yes… ? Are you my friend?”
If you’re my friend inside the school, Luna… There is nothing else.
Karin is still preparing for her entrance exam, and Sonya… Because she wasn’t even close to being a friend.
As I squeezed her hair, trying to recall the existence of my non-existent friend, Sonya laughed dejectedly and shook her head.
“What… I knew long ago that she wasn’t close to me, so it must be ambiguous to see her as a friend.”
“Uh… ? No way… ?”
At Sonya’s words, I had a picture of one person in my head.
And the person pictured in my head and the person Sonya talked about…
“That’s right. Lewis student is eligible to join the student council, and she said that this time she was offered to join the student council.”
Matched exactly.
