The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 389
Afterword: Noah Darshen (upper))
1.
2After the midterm exam.
After finishing the exam, Noah headed to the student hall..
It was because he was called out of nowhere by Arsene's current student council president, Iris Senior..
‘what happened all of a sudden?’
I didn't do anything worthy of being called..
Since he did not hear the reason for the call, Noah's head was filled with questions. After arriving at her destination, she knocked on the door of the student president's office..
smart─!
After the small knocking stopped.
A familiar voice came from beyond the door..
“yes please come in.”
When permission was given, Noah opened the door and went inside. The first thing I saw was a tall girl sitting with her back to the window..
The one who called Noah, Iris Seniorda.
“Hello, Senior Iris.”
As the student council president of Arsene Academy mentioned earlier, she had a close relationship with Noah..
It was because around this time last year, I had supported her campaign with Ulan and her party..
“Yes, it's been a while. noah cadet.”
Then Iris smiled lightly..
A very different impression from the first time I saw her last year. That's probably because he always had an expressionless face at the time..
“You can sit over here.”
Pushing her light blue hair over her ears, she pointed to a chair across from her..
Noah hesitantly approached and sat down, followed by Iris' question..
“noah cadet.”
“yes?”
“Can you guess why I called?”
“ahaha, not at all.”
Noah smiles awkwardly.
Of course, there is no such thing as guessing.
Perhaps it was thanks to his friendship with Iris while helping her with her election campaigns, and even after that, Noah would often help out with student council activities..
‘but now…….’
I don't think it was called for student council activities..
If that were the case, the student council vice president in charge of practical work, Camilla Tanesia, would have been here..
However, the only ones currently in the student council president's office are Iris and Noah. As I was finishing my guess, Iris opened her mouth..
“After I became the student council president, I changed some of the existing rules..”
already know.
The most representative improvement is the change in the qualifications for running for student council president..
Originally, in order to run for student council president, you had to be from an aristocracy, but Iris judged that this condition encouraged discrimination and abolished it..
Just then, a story came out about him..
“The most representative of these was to allow anyone to run for student council president, regardless of origin or status..”
“that's right, it was.”
“that's why i called you.”
“……yes?”
Noah asked back a beat late..
It was because I felt that the context of the conversation did not match. So, just as I was about to ask what it meant, Iris gave the first answer..
It was the fundamental reason for calling Noah.
“How about running as a candidate in the student body president election scheduled for this fall??”
After Iris' proposal, Noah momentarily put on a dazed expression. As if trying to understand what you just heard.
some time after that.
Noah's eyes widened..
“me, me?!”
“Yes, while looking for a candidate for the new student council president, I decided that Cadet Noah was the best fit..”
“no, for what reason…….”
As I was about to continue my refutation with an absurd face, there was a sudden speculation that crossed my mind..
It was the words Iris mentioned right before proposing to run for student council president. Remembering this, Noah quickly guessed what her intentions were..
“no way…….”
“I guess I just realized.”
A smile formed on Iris' lips..
Then she nodded.
“you're right. I want the next student council president to be a cadet from a commoner.”
The true heart of Iris Senior. He wanted the rules he had changed to apply..
If the next student council president becomes an aristocratic cadet again and he changes the rules again, what Iris has been doing for the past year will be meaningless..
“But aren't there a lot of commoner people besides me? why do you have to tell me this…….”
When all the cadets who can run for student council president are combined, there are roughly dozens of cadets from commoners..
Moreover, Noah was not a commoner, but a barbarian tribe inferior to him. That's why, when I was making a face that I couldn't understand, Iris' answer came back..
“you're right. Besides Noah, there are many students from commoners. However, it is very difficult in reality to offer them to run..”
A somewhat heavy sigh escaped from her pink lips. Iris said as if grumbling with her complex expression..
“After all, it will be the first stage for a commoner to run for office. There will be a lot of pressure, and above all, there will be severe checks on cadets from aristocrats..”
I understand what you mean.
It is said that Iris changed the rules so that a student from a commoner could run for student council president, but the wall still exists..
In addition, there is a good chance that the cadets from aristocrats will receive negative attention due to the element of being a candidate from commoners..
“but you are different.”
At that time, a flying word broke Noah's thoughts. Iris said with a faint smile as if she had never had a frustrated expression..
“The Noah cadets I've seen for the past year have treated everyone fairly and normally, regardless of their background or status..”
“that, that…….”
there's a good reason.
Because Noah was from another world.
It was only because I learned common sense in a world that was not in a place where strict caste systems were applied like here that I was able to deal with it without any particular concern..
‘I didn't even have time to care.’
Because last year was the year I faced the abyss.
So I spent my academy life practically without thinking. However, Iris seems to have appreciated this point..
That is, it is a misunderstanding..
“Of course, this is not the only decision I made. The usual sincerity and faithfulness to studies are the reasons why Cadet Noah was selected as a candidate..”
Unlike last year, Noah has changed.
I did my best even when I was attending lectures, and I lived with sincerity and hard work in everything..
and one more.
There is a reason why Noah can run for student president more easily than other cadets..
“The last reason is power.”
“force?”
“Yes, even compared to the cadets from the nobility, the force was never inferior. Because there is such a force by Noah's side right now..”
As soon as I heard that, something came to my mind.
Colleagues, including Ulan. And Noah's guess was right..
“From last year to the present, giants who have shaken Arsene Academy with just their presence. Just being friends with them will be a great help..”
Barbarians, commoners, nobles, and even royalty.
The people by Noah's side are truly a group of diverse backgrounds..
Yet, in a strangely harmonious form.
This combination was the ultimate form Iris wanted. So Iris grabbed Noah's hand with his eyes twinkling..
“Based on these points, I thought that the burden of running for office would be much less than other cadets from commoners, so I recommended cadet Noah..”
“……okay. I understood.”
Noah nodded once..
If I had been myself until last year, I would have rejected it without even thinking about it. You must have thought that meeting people was not only clumsy, but troublesome..
‘but…….’
Now that he has decided to stay here instead of returning to his original world, Noah has to prepare a place to live in this world..
In that regard, Arsene's career as the student council president will be of great help. It was clear that wherever the empire or kingdom went, it would be applied in an advantageous way..
‘Still, it's hard to decide right now.’
In the first place, if Noah wants to win the student council president election, she alone is not enough..
Noah, who was seriously thinking about all the elements, sighed. Then he looked back at Iris and smiled awkwardly..
“It seems difficult to decide right away, can I think about it and tell you??”
“of course. I will wait for a positive response from Cadet Noah..”
Iris said with a wide smile..
After the somewhat abrupt conversation, Noah left the student council president's office..
2.
and that evening.
After finishing the meal, Noah told the group what happened today..
After the end of the explanation, a sense of desolation came over me. After a while, Dillia, who was organizing her thoughts, looked back at her Noah and asked.
“how do you want to do it?”
“that's right. Your doctor is not more important than asking us for our opinion?”
Ibela was of the same opinion as Dillia..
Confronted by the two girls' questions, Noah pondered for a while before giving a serious answer..
“To be honest, I think it's the right thing to do.”
“Eh? I don't want to?”
“Yes, since I decided to stay here rather than return to my original world, I need to seriously think about my future..”
In that respect, becoming the student council president is the best opportunity the academy can seize. Because it was a thick and clear history.
Meanwhile, after hearing the answer, Dillia suddenly stretched out her hand. Then she naturally suggested.
“If that's a problem, come to the principality. Noah, Jeong Do-ui, any shaman, is always a welcome.”
“That wouldn't be bad either, but our family isn't bad either, you don't have to go far. Of course, I can give you the best salary..”
Dillia and Evela's kindness was an offer that Noah couldn't be more grateful for, since he had nowhere else to go..
but not very pleasant.
-I will also suggest!
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard from the contact crystal ball placed on the table..
It was Pertishia's voice..
-When I become emperor in the future, I will give Noah a title and a fiefdom. Of course, it comes with the condition that you have to cooperate with me..
that's why i don't like it.
It's like getting help from another competitor when you're competing for Ulan. Noah smiled shyly and shook her head..
“I really appreciate everyone's suggestions, but this time I want to stand alone. Also, I want to change from the pitiful past until now.”
This is a kind of challenge for Noah..
It is an opportunity to break away from the original appearance that was timid and introverted. That's why I wanted to choose the right method, not the expedient method, and hit it..
When I said my determination.
Ulan, who had been silently listening to the conversation, suddenly spoke up..
“then do it I will help.”
“yes?”
Noah's eyes widened slightly..
I haven't asked for help yet?
Rather, he just declared that he would stand alone, but he said this? So when I was perplexed, Ulan added a word.
“we are colleagues It's okay to help.”
Ulan put on a determined expression..
Even if you say you don't need help, it's like you're going to help somehow. Then, Dillia and Ibella, who were watching, also let out a deep sigh..
“Then, we, too, must, add our strength.”
“Just watching is like leaving Noah and Ulan alone..”
that is unacceptable.
As the eyes of the two girls burned like flames, an excited voice came from the crystal ball..
-Um, it's a bit different than expected, but I'll help too! Because it looks fun!
so that evening.
Noah won everyone's cooperation.
Much easier than I thought.
