11.
A boy with gray hair suddenly appeared.
Seeing him, Alvin widened his eyes. She then exclaimed, smiling gladly..
“Senior Parzeca!”
Mond Parceca.
A third-year student at the Faculty of Magic and a direct senior to Alvin..
At the same time, he is a person called the left arm of the current student council president. At his appearance, the two executives next to Alvin also bowed their heads..
Meanwhile, Mond approached after being greeted by everyone, patted Alvin on the shoulder and smiled..
“We need a bigger shot to get a clear win in the current situation..”
Rather than spreading false rumors to tarnish Iris' honor, there was a heavy and certain blow that could knock her down..
For some reason, there seems to be some composure.
Alvin asked with a face filled with anticipation..
“do you have any tips?”
“of course. Disqualify your opponent by accusing him of violating election rules..”
“Poetry, it's a disqualification?”
Two shocked executives.
On the other hand, Erwin's complexion did not change. Rather, she just twinkles her eyes as if she's interested..
“I would like to hear more.”
“It's simple. Manipulating the vote count.”
“……!”
“All you have to do is put in a lot more votes than all possible voters count, and make your opponent win..”
Then the Election Commission will launch an investigation. Of course, the most suspicious thing here is the opponent who won the election..
“And as long as the Election Commission is on our side, as it is now, Iris Senior will surely be disqualified..”
If there is a re-vote afterwards, the victory will of course belong to the current student council. Candidates other than Iris cannot be opponents of the student council..
“I heard that this method was used once a long time ago. Even back then, there must have been a guy who didn't know fractions like Iris Senior..”
“okay. Then we can win the election without provoking the barbarians..”
After the explanation, Mond shrugged, and Alvin nodded with an admiring expression..
Is it because the troublesome problem has been solved??
A bright smile bloomed on Alvin's face, which was full of pensiveness. On the other hand, the other two executives couldn't hide their uneasiness..
“me, by the way…….”
“huh?”
“Wouldn't it be a big deal if I used the method I used before and was discovered??”
“No, there's nothing to be found out about.”
Mond shook his head resolutely..
He said with confidence.
“This isn't about deciding important issues or electing leaders, it's just an election to elect the student council president with a one-year term..”
So no one will care.
Also, the professors didn't really care who became the student council president..
“that's right!”
“You are also a senior.”
“thank you it helped me a lot.”
Leading by the two students, Alvin also nodded as if agreeing. Then, Mond suddenly coughed and glanced sideways at Alvin..
“Big! More than that, Alvin.”
“yes, sir.”
“The tea leaves I gave you as a gift the other day.”
Mond mentions tea leaves out of the blue.
However, Alvin was not embarrassed..
Rather, as if he guessed that he would bring up the story, he nodded and asked again..
“Are you talking about Droga's leaves??”
“that's right. It's pretty good quality, if you have a spare, can I get another one??”
For some reason, desperate eyes.
In fact, Mond just trembled his hands lightly as if he was impatient. Alvin looked at Mond quietly and sighed softly..
“Phew, I'm sorry, but it's hard right now. All the other seniors wanted it too, so I fell..”
“that, yes?”
“Just don't worry.”
Looking at Mond, whose complexion suddenly darkened, Alvin smiled..
“I recently got back in stock. So, sooner or later, when the election is over, I will be the first to give a present to Parzeca..”
“me really? Really?”
“yes i promise.”
With Alvin's words, a wide smile bloomed on Mond's face. After that, the secret conversation came to an end with a short laugh..
some time after that.
Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard in the forest enveloped in silence. It was a place not too far from the place where Erwin and Mond had a conversation..
“I didn't mean to listen…….”
A low voice that followed.
Moments later, with the sound of leaves rustling, someone jumped from the tree..
Gray-haired girl with glasses.
She, who had been hiding her presence until now, gazed intently at the place where Alvin and Mond had disappeared..
“……I heard something great.”
Sirpi Rudric.
While she was on her way to the library by following the shortcut as usual, she spotted Alvin and the others who suddenly jumped out of nowhere and climbed up a tree..
Then, hiding their presence, I waited for them to disappear, but in the process of waiting, I heard an unexpected conversation..
“Besides, Droga's leaves…….”
Droga is a kind of plant that lives in the desert, and is famous among desert tribes as a poisonous weed..
However, if you dry the leaves well and mix them with water in small amounts and take them, it has the effect of causing excitement and hallucinations along with strong poisoning symptoms..
Simply put, it means drugs..
Remembering this, Syrpy's complexion hardened quite seriously. But that was only for a moment, and she burst into dry laughter..
“Well, it has nothing to do with me.”
Neither the distribution of drugs to the academy nor the current student council's scheming had anything to do with Syrupy..
So after shaking off her thoughts, Syrupy turned around again. Some time later, by the time he arrived near the library, his original destination.
“ah, sylphy!”
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.
As I reflexively turned my head, there was a girl waving at her..
blonde blue eyes.
It was Ybela Elead, one of the few friends I made here..
‘and…….’
Beside Ibella was a barbarian who had completely removed his upper body. It was Ulan, now a very famous figure in the academy..
“long time no see how have you been doing?”
“Hey, I've been fine. Rather, I'm glad they both returned safely..”
“ok, it's a bit late.”
Isabella laughed awkwardly..
Then, suddenly, something caught Syrupy's attention. It was a bundle of papers in Ulan and Evela's arms..
“but what is that?”
“Oh, this? This…….”
“an election flyer.”
“election?”
“Yeah, actually, I decided to help senior Iris, who was running for student council president this time..”
Ibella explained the whole thing..
From the first meeting with Iris Senior to the reason for helping her in detail.
In the process, Syrpi learned that Ulan and Ybela supported Iris..
‘Wait, if it's Iris Senior…….’
The name of the person mentioned in the conversation between the student council executives earlier and the name of the opposing candidate whom they plan to disqualify..
Realizing this fact, Syrpy's eyes widened, and Ulan, who had been silent, suddenly tapped Ibella on the shoulder..
“Ibella.”
“huh? why?”
“it's time to move on.”
“Oh, it's already been like this. Then we'll go first. See you in class tomorrow!”
Election flyers still abound.
Ibela, realizing what Ulan meant, said goodbye to Syrpi and turned away..
Meanwhile, Syrpy bit his lip as if contemplating something, then hurriedly reached out his hand..
“wait a minute!”
Is it because of the rather loud voice??
Ulan and Ibela looked back at Syrpy in unison. Receiving their gaze, Syrpy hesitated for a while before revealing the reason for calling the two..
“Actually, I just happened to see it.…….”
It was just to tell you about the conspiracy of the student council executives that I had unintentionally heard earlier..
If it had been someone else, I wouldn't have bothered to say it, but Ulan and Ibela are the exceptions..
The two of them had once been isolated in the ruins beneath the fountain of magic. He was also one of the few people that the current Sylphy could call a friend..
Meanwhile, after Syrupy's story is over,.
Ulan and Ibela hardened their faces without anyone saying anything first..
“……that's true?”
“yeah i heard it.”
Syrupy nodding a serious face.
Ibella bit her lip and let out a low moan. It's because of the story I just heard about the student council executives plotting a scheme..
On the other hand, that wasn't the only reason Ulan hardened his face. A certain word that came out at a glance in Sirpi's story was decisive.
‘Droga's Leaf.’
Powerful hallucinogen and raw material for drugs.
It is a plant that grows in the desert, but is not used by the Desert Cult, and is mainly used by Abyssal Worshipers during rituals related to the Abyss..
And, according to Syrpy, it was Alvin who mentioned the word Droga's leaf. He was the one who smelled like an Abyssal Worshiper..
‘I'm pretty sure it's related anyway.’
I'll have to investigate that as well..
Ulan's eyes flashed bleakly as he recalled the smell that Erwin had been giving off. Meanwhile, Lee Bella, who was organizing her thoughts, looked back at Sirfi..
“Thanks for telling me, Sylphy..”
“oh no It's nothing but what.”
“I think it will be of great help to you. I will definitely repay you after the election is over.”
“uh? no i'm fine…….”
“then see you tomorrow!”
Syrpy waved her hand as if it were okay, but Ybela didn't answer and grabbed Ulan's hand..
Then he left immediately.
To convey this fact to Iris as soon as possible. Seeing the backs of the two of them moving away from each other, Sylphy murmured quietly..
“……I'm a bit envious.”
If I had been born into an ordinary family in the Empire and not from the Desert Cult, I would have been able to enjoy my school life like Ulan and Ybela..
Shirpy let out a heavy sigh..
But it's not just a wish that can't come true. Indeed, she had reason to let out her sighs..
a few days ago.
A letter arrived from Syrpi..
The sender was Count Deorg. He is the pagan hunter that the Desert Church fears the most, and he is the one who holds the breath of Syrupy..
The content of the letter was short and concise..
『I have a few questions for you. I will go up to the academy soon, so on the coming Friday morning, wait at the place you always meet..』
The message that he will come to the academy.
The moment he saw this, Syrupy's heart thumped and his body trembled involuntarily. Because she felt a visceral fear.
‘What are you trying to ask??’
I already told you everything I know.
No matter what you ask, I have nothing more to answer.
So it was even more scary. If it is discovered that it is of no value, Count Deorg will have no reason to keep himself alive..
‘please don't be a big deal…….’
Syrupy closed her eyes tightly..
After that, she managed to shake off her stuffy mind and moved on again..
In the meantime, I suddenly felt a presence.
what? Could Ulan and Ybela have returned??
I turned my head in puzzlement. But the person who came into sight was an unexpected person..
“phew, i just found it.”
a girl who is breathing heavily.
Like Syrpy, he is a freshman wearing a red tie that symbolizes a first year student. She calmed down her disturbed breathing and spoke..
“hello! If you're not rude, could you give me a moment??”
“you are…….”
“I have something I want to ask you.”
A girl looking this way with a smile.
Hair resembling the night sky and eyes as blue as the sea. It was a face he remembered, so Syrupy immediately remembered the girl's name..
It was Noah Darschen..
