80 – 9. How to fight and win against monsters (8) – Seed of Revival.
Howlan Dyers was an asshole.
I did my job fairly well, but I was unable to handle my hot-headed personality and had several accidents.
Furthermore, there were many times when he caused great harm to others with his unique arrogant personality and way of speaking.
The plan that someone else had worked so hard to create was immediately discarded. When others praised me, I never thought they meant it, and only when they criticized me did I think they were sincere.
His stubbornness was so strong that he never admitted that he was wrong. He always showed shamelessness beyond imagination.
At least as far as I know, that’s the case. Howlan Dyers was, without a doubt, a villain, a bad guy, and the worst boss.
Who would like a person like this?
Due to the value of the ‘Howlan’ family’s name and his unique way of handling terrible work, he earned the position of District 1 Executive Officer, but few people liked him.
The only people left would be those who fear him, those who hate him, and those who are not interested in him.
To put it mildly, when he was an executive, an article like this was even posted on Akashic Records, a student community.
-This room is accessible only to the 77th Student Council Probationary Committee members.
-Let me give some advice to the successful applicants. Her cousin is the bailiff and she tells her never to go to District 1.
Huh? Why??
-The bailiff there is a man named Howlan Dyers, and he gives a lot of work and is really scary. Her cousin also said she would commit suicide if she wanted to work with that person…
ㄴ Is it that much?? What should I do? I chose District 1.
-Rest in peace in advance.
So it was natural that few people liked him.
After Dyers was excommunicated from the bailiff, his place was filled with dust.
No one knew that his place would be filled with all kinds of thoughtful gifts just a few days after returning to the student council.

“What is this?”
From Noble mtl dot com
It’s already been three days since I briefly returned to the student council.
After smoking a cigarette, I go to work and there are strange things on my desk.
Cookies with small seeds embedded in them, a pile of herbs that are great for restoring energy when decocted, stationery decorated with flowers, etc.
Siluted Erdan opened his mouth bluntly. No wonder this guy is so angry.
“Wow… I’m jealous, Mr. Dyers. How on earth did you win the hearts of the chicks? They always tell me to be scared…”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Don’t you know it when you look at it? These are all gifts for Dyers. Are you knowingly deceiving me?! Damn it, why am I not giving anyone a gift…?!”
“Just calm down first.”
When we try to dissuade Erdan, who is in a bad condition today, he becomes more convulsive.
“Really?! Do I look like I’m being serious right now? Someone ate a 2-silver pretzel for lunch after working all day, but someone else received homemade cookies made by their juniors as a gift! I know how to eat cookies too!”
It’s surprising that a narrow-eyed person can be so angry. Very soon my eyes will open.
After understanding the situation to some extent due to Erdan’s seizure, I raised the corner of my mouth very slightly.
“Well, it’s only natural. The juniors you mentioned made homemade cookies. I’ll eat them myself now.”
“Why are you emphasizing it directly?! Even in front of hungry people, that precious thing made by your juniors..! Put down that hand..! I’d rather eat it somewhere without me..”
Kwasik! I took a big bite of the cookie. Less sugar was used so it wasn’t too sweet, but it tasted healthy.
Along with the broken cookies, Erdan’s mentality also seemed to be shattered. That’s why he should have been nice to his juniors.
“f*ck, damn, damn. God, please send that evil soul into your arms.. Gracious Lord, please send that human being into your arms..”
I savored the taste of the cookie while easily ignoring Erdan, who was praying in an absurdly creepy way.
Erdan, who was looking at me dissatisfied, asked.
“…Are you not going to tell me what really happened?
I’ve been busy moving around for the past few days.
.
What I did was simple.
Latina sent most of the probation committee members to me, and I resolved most of their concerns. It seems like he probably doesn’t have anything more to learn from me, so he asks his juniors to teach him.
There was nothing bad from my perspective. This is because she took care of her paperwork while teaching her juniors.
The first thing to be resolved was the wild boar situation in the collection department.
As Pepero, a member of the collection department’s training committee, said, the vegetable garden was completely destroyed.
As the plants they worked hard to grow died, most of the chicks became very depressed, like children of darkness.
“Quick!”
“Hmph!”
“He’s so big..!”
“Guys, I brought you a senior!”
“Everyone stay where you are.”
“Kwaek! Kwak!”
“Be born as a human in your next life.”
First, he cut down the wild boar that was charging at the chicks with a single sword.
Afterwards, they lifted the body onto their shoulders and threw it into a suitable cave. I shed tears and prayed for the peace of the wild boar that went before me.
When I returned to the garden, the little trainees were trembling as they looked at me.
“Thank you, thank you..”
“That big boar’s head in one blow..”
Rattle rattle. I can’t even tell you what’s so scary. Why are you doing this?
I felt something strange.
‘Wait a minute. If this happens, fear will only increase rather than favorability.’
The kids who were supposed to curse me with a limited time limit and become my contacts when I travel around the empire are afraid of me? That wasn’t a real connection.
As I was agonizing over how to gain favor, I saw some frustrated guys in a completely damaged garden.
Although the wild boar died and the field would not be looted in the future, it did not change that most of the plants that had been carefully grown had died.
Before we knew it, water was forming around Pepero’s eyes.
“Black..”
“Hey… Don’t cry. There’s a senior in front of you…”
“Ah.. I’m sorry, senior..”
Pepero, who came to his senses after his colleague’s dissuasion, wiped away his tears and apologized.
This is it.
I walked slowly towards the devastated field.
Mud and gravel stain your shoes. I keep walking regardless.
I can feel the puzzled looks of the probation committee members.
He seems curious about what he will do.
I spit out at the guys.
“There is no hope.”
I could barely see one or two living plants, but they were all dead.
This garden has a limited lifespan.
The complexions of the collection department probation committee members became even darker.
“…As expected.”
“It’s too early to give up.”
I reached the center of the field, used magic to dig up the ground, and put in a seed.
This is the ‘seed of revival’ bought at a very cheap price on the black market.
The merchant thought these seeds were ordinary sunflower seeds, so he was able to buy them cheaply.
‘Originally I was going to give it to a nun. Well, it’s meant to be used in times like this.’
After covering the ground neatly, I called out to the foraging chicks.
“Everyone, come.”
They approached me with half fear and half puzzlement on their faces.
“Hold my body.”
“””…Yes?”””
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a sleeve or a shoulder. Quickly grab my body.”
The members of the collection club hesitated and grabbed my sleeves and shoulders.
“Just close your eyes.”
Although the children were puzzled, they obediently followed my words and closed their eyes.
All preparations are complete.
“Say what you want to say here. It’s okay to say goodbye. You can say exactly how you feel right now. You can say anything, anything.”
The expressions of the frightened foraging chicks brightened slightly.
They probably think I am comforting them.
I feel like an instructor who suddenly brings up the topic of parents at a retreat.
“I will never forget your consideration. You comforted us this much…”
It is nothing more than an absurd illusion. It is much better to find a solution while comforting others.
It seems that sensitive chicks took my actions with a different meaning.
“Thank you, senior..”
You will be able to say thank you later.
Children open their mouths and express their emotions.
“Sebastian… Next time we meet, I’ll be sure to spray it with the highest quality fertilizer.”
“Chris. In this life, I was a cherry tomato, but in the next life, let’s meet again as a big watermelon.”
“For the first time, I felt proud as I watched him grow up. Thank you so much for growing so well.”
“…Hello.”
It might have been embarrassing for children in their prime, but they opened their mouths without any sign of embarrassment.
Anyway, what are the names of the plants?
Dude duh.
The field is changing little by little.
Dead plants came back to life.
Unlike ordinary plants, ‘seeds of revival’ rely on human affection as nutrients.
No matter how much I shout out to the seed that I love it, if there is no affection, it will never grow.
All I can do is convey affection.
“Continue.”
The children began to pour out what they wanted to say even more in response to my words.
I feel like I say things with greater confidence as we all say things together that I was embarrassed to say in front of my friends.
Dude duh.
Children with their eyes closed will not know the situation in the field.
“More.”
Whenever the children’s emotions surge, the plants also fluctuate violently.
“More. Continue.”
Even though I thought I had said enough goodbyes, the children faithfully followed my words.
I think about 10 minutes have passed.
Thanks to you, the seed of revival has taken root perfectly.
The field has completely regained its original appearance.
“Ugh…”
“Ugh…”
The time has come to return the fields to the little ones who worked hard.
I opened my mouth as if making a declaration.
“Now, open your eyes.”
