-When I went to the vice principal’s office, I saw an employee.
The administrative staff who guided me to this place in the first place.
Did you say her name was Rachel… .
“hello.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Are you here to see the vice principal?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Just in time, the vice principal is inside.”
“Yes.”
“Shall I open it?”
“it’s okay. You can go and do your thing.”
At my words, he bowed his head and left the seat.
Standing in front of the door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
smart.
“Come on in.”
I don’t know who they mistook me for, but I gave permission from inside.
When I opened the door and went inside, I saw the vice-principal sitting behind a desk and flipping through papers.
“uh? Isn’t that Raymond Youngsik?”
And when he saw my face, he was slightly startled and got up quickly.
Then he reached out and hid the papers from my view.
It was so subtle that it seemed that he had reached out his hand at random to support his body.
When he first met me, he behaved leisurely, but now he jumps up as soon as I enter, which is very suspicious.
Perhaps the reason it happened so quickly was to cover up the papers.
However, since there is no clear evidence, there can be no questioning.
“What’s going on here… ?”
He asked me without taking his hand off the paperwork.
There was a hint of wariness in his goat-thin voice.
Things I hadn’t seen the first time I saw him came into view.
And all of them seemed to be rotten.
Wealth and power built from the blood and tears of others.
He was vigilant in everything he did to protect it.
The only person who can stop him right now is me, who holds the title of son of the count.
A principal who doesn’t appear often, but has real power.
‘Because I’m blocking the principal’s eyes and ears.’
However, the reason the principal left the vice-principal alone was probably because there was no evidence to prove his guilt.
All the paperwork going to the principal has gone through the vice principal, and the teachers have been locked out by the vice principal.
Plus, Mahol is being bullied. Discipline is given only when the principal sees it.
He put his hand behind his back and beckoned to Ellis.
When I sit on the couch with the vice-captain, she’ll see what he’s trying to cover up.
“There is something I want to ask the vice-principal.”
“Oh, I see!”
Seeing me smiling and talking, his face brightened.
Because asking for a favor meant that I could receive that much in return.
And when I asked for a favor, the weight was different.
Because I was able to solve quite a few problems on my own line.
When I asked for it, it was a problem that I couldn’t solve, but it was possible only with the hands of sympathy.
So that’s how you like it.
Because there is a reason to eat me as much as I want with this job.
“Do you have a car? Personally, I like black tea.”
I sat down like leaning on the sofa. The vice-principal brought tea with a smile and set the cup down in front of me.
“So what are you asking for?”
I took a sip of tea in response to his question.
It felt luxurious enough to feel expensive.
“I happened to see a brother and sister.”
“… I see.”
Sympathy flinched, his body stiffened, and he nodded slowly.
I haven’t lost my smile yet.
I think I remembered someone, but from what I said, it was a face that wasn’t sure.
Unexpectedly, there were many cases where siblings or brothers entered the academy together.
“My older brother has a bad physique, and my younger brother has a disease. Even so, it was good to see him living without losing hope.”
The principal’s face hardened.
“But it was a bit strange. I went to the dorm thinking that I would make good friends after all… .”
A face that can’t even find a smile now.
“It was so bad that I doubted if it was the right place to stay. No, the lodging was the garbage dump itself.”
“… .”
The assistant principal kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
He just stared at me with a face as if he was thinking about something.
“I don’t know why I ended up living in such a place, but as a classmate and as a friend, I couldn’t just watch it.”
“… So what’s your business?”
“They want to move into my quarters.”
“… .”
The vice principal tapped the table with his fingertips.
It was a confused face as to how to accept this.
“It’s not possible. Due to school rules, accommodation cannot be moved.”
“It’s a rule… Does the school rule say that students have to live in a garbage dump?”
“that’s… .”
The sympathy gritted his teeth at my sarcastic tone.
“What do you want?”
“Well… Did I say something difficult? I must have said earlier that I would move them to my dorm.”
“Accommodation is determined according to the class. Their class is C, but they don’t have any talent or skill, so they’re all the same. And above all, accommodation once chosen cannot be moved. It will only be possible if they raise their class, but the promotion test is still three months away.”
He shook his head very resolutely.
“but… .”
“but?”
“I think it’s possible if you pay a certain amount.”
It was an oxymoron.
They said that it was impossible to move the accommodation because it was operated with royal funds, but now they say it is possible if they give money.
“Vice Principal, I am not here to fight. How nice it would be if you could say it as simply as you do now. Please tell me how much money you need to move accommodation.”
“hahahaha.”
Is it about money? His hardened face softened and he began to rub his hands together.
And his eyes went round and round as he counted the amount.
“I think 50 gold per person is enough.”
“Fifty gold… .”
It was like a bar. Twenty gold is paid for the son of the baron to enter the academy.
You have to be a viscount to get about 50 gold.
Vice-principal asks to pay twice that amount.
It was clear that it was a burdensome amount even for an ordinary nobleman.
“Well, it’s not that much money.”
I wasn’t that common aristocrat.
It was about a hundred gold. He had enough money that he wouldn’t mind throwing it to a beggar passing by.
The pocket money I receive is enough to run a small village for a month.
I thought again that I was the son of a chaebol.
Chaebols are not just chaebols.
To the extent that it accounts for the majority of the kingdom’s taxes.
that it is a huge conglomerate.
Being his son, a hundred gold is nothing.
And he had already prepared that amount.
To be honest, I thought it would cost about 300 gold, but the barrel is smaller than I thought.
I gestured towards Elise and she put the bag of gold on the table in front of me.
***
The vice principal was making two ledgers.
One to show the principal, and one to own.
This was a precious treasure that could not be shown to other employees.
While looking at the amount written in the ledger and being satisfied, an uninvited guest came.
Raymond came without any connection.
I felt bad at first. I’m not free enough to meet you just because you came to me like this.
But that feeling was relieved by his words that followed.
‘Please… I’ve been running out of money lately. Well done.’
I decided to listen to him in a way that he would do me a favor and draw the money.
“… garbage dump… … .”
As he continued to speak, his thoughts became more complex.
How far did you come to know? Could it be that they are trying to find a weakness and rip something out of me?
‘How much did I invest to get him!’
I heard all kinds of gossip.
He had to spend a lot of money to get Mahol’s sister Reina.
I caught the weakness of the administrative staff and made them stay in the garbage dump.
Eating was also limited.
And implicitly, it was also spread that the vice-principal’s permission was required to move the accommodation.
He had to spend money like his own blood to recruit members of the group, and as a result, the end was in sight.
He was sure that if he did a little more, Reina would be his.
But one day, Raymond came unexpectedly and tried to ruin everything.
It seemed that he was just trying to put a spoon on the table he had prepared.
It can’t be. So I said no.
He mentioned the school rules and said he couldn’t move.
And as Raymond’s words continued for a while, the vice-principal’s eyes widened.
Instead of handing them over, ask them to present the required amount.
In a way, this seemed like a situation that could benefit you.
Come to think of it, Raymond in front of him is a son of a famous magician who has more money than the merchant.
It’s not like they’re coming to fight, they just say they’ll allow you to move your accommodation.
So, I wondered if it would be okay to sing it a little higher.
So I called a total of 100 gold.
That amount exceeded the amount I used to make Reina mine.
Although the money spent has been a waste, it can make up for what has been lost.
It’s better to hand it over with a little profit than to have Raymond and Chuck, who could be my wallet in the future.
The principal thought so.
And the idea of sympathy was not very wrong.
The maid he always took with him held and put the money bag on the table.
I was awakened by the heavy sound.
“Open it.”
Raymond smiles and gestures. The vice-principal grabbed the money bag and stared blankly at Raymond.
‘Amazing, Great!’
Why do you carry so much money with you on a regular basis? How much money do you have?
I’ll sing it a little higher.
The vice-principal felt sorry for the thought that his barrel was too small and reached for the money bag.
yellow coins.
Just looking at it makes my heart feel at ease.
“hahahaha. That’s enough. I will upload the documents to move the accommodation.”
I thought it would be a good relationship in the future.
How can you make faces with someone who casually gives you this amount of money?
‘There will be more things I can do in the future.’
Things to do with this money filled my head.
The principal was imagining what to do with the gold Raymond had given him.
“Oh, and would you like to see this too?”
Anything.
The vice-principal looked at Raymond’s hand with joy.
“… !”
And just like that, it hardened.
‘Well, how is that… !’
Something that shouldn’t be there was in his hands.
I didn’t tell anyone where I hid it, and it was always in this place that I was careful.
“I came across this by accident.”
He shouldn’t have left everything and had ‘that’.
No, I couldn’t come out.
“Where are you sick? Your face has gone pale.”
Raymond with a face that seemed to know everything.
As he looked at himself with a face that couldn’t help but laugh, the vice-principal felt that the hand holding the money bag was loosening.
“Why is that? ah… Do you know this?”
The rapporteur’s secret ledger was in Raymond’s hand.
