551.

 

Luke glanced to his right.

 

There sat the fifth-years, who could be called the pinnacle among the sky-high seniors.

 

At the very center of those fifth-years, in what could be called the most honored seat, sat Vice Student Council President Hark, who currently held the real power to move Lumern.

 

‘More precisely, he’s almost half lying down.’

 

He had tilted his chair back, supporting it only on its back legs while leaning his head back, with both legs propped up on the desk.

 

Judging by how his chest rose and fell evenly, he was clearly fast asleep.

 

‘He won’t fall over, will he?’

 

Luke’s gaze, which had been worriedly watching Hark for a moment, now turned to the right.

 

There, the fourth-years had taken their seats.

 

And in their midst, Elena was reading a book with perfect posture.

 

From Elena, called Lumern’s greatest beauty and the Queen of Lumern, an air of natural elegance seemed to emanate.

 

From the outside, anyone would see her as the epitome of a diligent honor student.

 

The problem was that the book Elena was reading was a grimoire designated as a ‘forbidden book’

 

by Lumern.

 

‘Is it really okay for both of them to be like this?’

 

This was the Student Council, a place where students representing the Academy gathered to hold meetings.

 

Yet the two students who could be called the core of that Student Council were, by anyone’s standards, exemplary delinquents.

 

For Luke, who attended this meeting as a grade representative, this was a sight he couldn’t adapt to at all.

 

“Luke.”

 

“Ah, yes! Senior Lil.”

 

“Your mana characteristic is definitely mana amplification, right?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I’m envious. I’m excessively ordinary. When I see brilliant talent like yours, Luke, I’m genuinely envious.”

 

“Oh come on, you’re much more amazing, senior.”

 

“No. You’re more amazing, Luke.”

 

At Lil’s gaze looking at him as if truly envious, a scene flashed through Luke’s mind.

 

It was something that had happened a few days ago at the Magic Studies Department practice grounds.

 

Kugagagagagang!

 

‘Kyaaaaaaah! The golem we poured our entire first semester into!’

 

‘This is too weak. I think we need to make it sturdier?’

 

‘You’re the monster! You monster girl!’

 

‘Who are you calling a monster girl! I have the proper title of Gale Spirit Mage!’

 

‘Is that what’s important right now!’

 

That was the sight of Lil destroying with her bare hands a combat golem made by third-year Magic Studies students.

 

‘Didn’t they say that was made of pure mithril?’

 

Luke looked at Lil while breaking out in a cold sweat.

 

“Ah, so ordinary. I’m too ordinary.”

 

The freshmen could only look at Lil, who treated herself as an ordinary person, with strange eyes.

 

But the other grades seemed accustomed to it and remained calm.

 

‘I thought I’d gotten somewhat used to Lumern.’

 

Lumern still far exceeded the freshmen’s common sense.

 

Then Hark, who had been leaning back, raised his head.

 

Elena also closed her grimoire.

 

At the same time, the door opened and Leo entered.

 

After confirming that Leo had taken the Student Council President’s seat, Hark spoke in a voice weary with fatigue.

 

“Well, now that the president is here, shall we start the meeting?”

 

Originally, it would be a meeting led by the Student Council President.

 

But since the one handling practical affairs in the current Student Council was Vice President Hark, Leo could only silently watch the meeting he conducted.

 

Though Hark clearly showed his annoyance with his sleepy face and constant yawning, he performed his role excellently.

 

“Now, lastly. The agenda regarding next year’s entrance examination for new students.”

 

At those words, the freshmen flinched.

 

“This year’s examination supervisor is… Hm? What?”

 

Hark looked at Juwen, who had raised his hand high, and spoke.

 

“If you have something to say, go ahead.”

 

“Yes! First-year Magic Studies student Juwen Tobidna! If the examination format hasn’t been decided yet, I strongly recommend last year’s entrance examination format!”

 

“We all think that would be good!”

 

“We were able to learn so much from our seniors during the entrance exam!”

 

The entire first-year Student Council unanimously agreed with Juwen’s words.

 

“Unfortunately, Lumern’s entrance examination changes every year as a rule.”

 

Making the impossible possible is one of the important virtues of a hero.

 

Therefore, the entrance examination was also the first trial that Lumern students faced.

 

If it’s predictable, then it’s not a trial.

 

That’s why Lumern’s entrance examination changes every year.

 

At Hark’s words, sighs poured out from among the freshmen.

 

“We could have paid them back!”

 

“What a waste!”

 

Watching that scene, Hark spoke.

 

“The overall supervisor for this entrance examination is Professor Hallind.”

 

At those words, the entire Student Council atmosphere froze.

 

Hallind, called the Lumern Wall of Lamentations, is currently in charge of first-years, but he’s still a figure of terror to Lumern students.

 

“Professor Hallind asked us to select the necessary personnel by grade, so the grade representatives should select the personnel themselves.”

 

Hark spoke indifferently and tried to get up from his seat.

 

“Well, now that all agenda items are finished, let’s conclude the meeting here.”

 

“Wait a moment.”

 

Then Leo spoke up.

 

At those words, Hark frowned with all his might.

 

“Why? Again? What?”

 

“As Student Council President, there’s one agenda item I’d like to propose.”

 

“As Student Council President?”

 

Hark curled up the corner of his mouth.

 

“You don’t handle practical work, yet you want to use only presidential authority? Even if you’re the Student Council President, don’t you think that’s overstepping your bounds?”

 

Hark openly displayed his antagonism toward Leo.

 

At that sight, not only the freshmen but also the other grades, who had been relaxed, showed tense expressions.

 

The students gulped nervously.

 

Since Leo took office as Student Council President, there had been no surface friction between Leo and Hark.

 

Leo was the Student Council President, but he had delegated real power to Hark.

 

This Student Council was effectively Hark’s Student Council.

 

It was also Hark who had exercised power as Lumern’s leader for the past year.

 

And Leo had never once asserted his authority as Student Council President.

 

‘That’s why there was no reason for conflict until now, right?’

 

The fifth-years also looked back and forth between Leo and Hark with tense faces.

 

This could be called the first friction between a Student Council President without real power and a Vice President with real power.

 

“Why don’t you give some kind of answer?”

 

Hark smiled coldly.

 

Watching that scene, the fifth-years nodded.

 

‘Even if it’s Leo Flobe, Hark can’t tolerate it. Carelessly interfering with the Student Council that he… we have led for a year.’

 

The fifth-years’ cold gazes turned toward Leo.

 

‘Leo Flobe, we know you’re amazing. But your exercising influence on the Student Council should be from next year…’

 

“Does being Student Council President make you everything?! Does being a hero make you everything?! Does being chosen by God make you everything?! You ungrateful junior who just uses seniors! Do you know how much I’ve suffered from sleep deprivation since becoming a fifth-year because of you!”

 

‘This bastard! He just has a grudge because he can’t sleep properly!’

 

The 5th years cursed Hark inwardly.

 

Dark circles filling the area under his eyes.

 

Bloodshot pupils filled with red veins.

 

That appearance literally revealed his ‘sleep deprivation’ in full.

 

It was when such tension was circulating.

 

“Senior Hark was always sleeping whenever we met, but were you actually sleep deprived?”

 

“That’s right, Luke. Senior Hark needs much more sleep than other people. He’s become quite irritable, probably because he’s suffered from sleep deprivation for the past year.”

 

Hark’s murderous gaze turned toward Lil and Luke.

 

Luke made a startled expression at that gaze, but Lil clenched his fists and said.

 

“Even if he’s become irritable, I still respect Senior Hark! He did an excellent job managing the Academy as vice student council president!”

 

“Lil, you should correct your words. His personality wasn’t good to begin with either.”

 

Elena chimed in from the side with a laugh.

 

‘Stop it, you guys!’

 

‘The atmosphere is already murderous!’

 

The students screamed as they watched Lil fanning the flames of a burning house without any malice and Elena openly pouring oil on it.

 

“President, what agenda were you trying to bring up?”

 

Then a 5th year student council member asked to mediate.

 

“I was going to change the vice student council president starting today.”

 

“What? That was the most important agenda. You should have said so earlier. Let’s start the meeting again.”

 

Hark smiled brightly as if nothing had happened.

 

Chen Xia, one of the student council secretaries, raised her hand.

 

“Senior Hark, it’s time for lunch now?”

 

“Don’t be ridiculous, no one can leave until this meeting is over.”

 

“But even as student council president, shouldn’t you not do big things like selecting a vice president on your own? You haven’t done anything for a year.”

 

“Who says such nonsense? The president’s word is absolute.”

 

Hark spoke with blazing eyes.

 

Looking at such a Hark, Leo said.

 

“Then please recommend candidates for vice student council president.”

 

“I recommend Elena Jeron.”

 

“I recommend Lil.”

 

Hark and Elena spoke simultaneously.

 

Lil’s eyes widened as he was suddenly recommended for vice student council president.

 

Hark curled up the corners of his mouth and said.

 

“Why are you doing this? You who will become a 5th year should take on the vice president position, right?”

 

“Since it’ll change next year anyway, wouldn’t it be more stable for Lil to take on the vice president position long-term?”

 

“Lil still has a lot to learn. And you can definitely teach Lil many things.”

 

“Oh my? You flatter me.”

 

“No, I’m serious? Your administrative abilities are definitely better than mine.”

 

“How could I work as well as Senior Hark?”

 

They laughed heartily and praised each other, but their eyes were murderous beyond compare.

 

‘You try it too.’

 

‘As if I would.’

 

In fact, this year’s student council was one of the busiest student councils in Lumern’s history.

 

As major incidents occurred one after another, the student council managing all of Lumern inevitably became incredibly busy due to the aftermath.

 

Elena, who had assisted the vice student council president, spent days as busy as Ris, the previous student council president.

 

Naturally, Hark, who was responsible for the student council president’s practical work, suffered to the point his head would burst.

 

And looking at the current world situation, next year’s Lumern Student Council would be busier than this year if anything, definitely more so, never less.

 

The career of having operated the Lumern Student Council could become the best career after graduation.

 

To begin with, the Lumern Student Council President has influence comparable to a king of a nation.

 

Not only can one gain tremendous prestige, but a smooth path opens after graduation.

 

But aside from all that, it’s a position coveted by any honor student at Lumern who always aims for the top.

 

‘The problem is both are delinquent students.’

 

It was when Leo clicked his tongue.

 

“If you entrust it to me, I’ll try my best.”

 

Lil spoke with a serious face.

 

Looking at such a Lil, Leo answered.

 

“Rejected.”

 

“Why are you doing this, brother?”

 

Looking at Lil making a tearful face, Leo said.

 

“Senior Lil, you don’t have administrative abilities.”

 

“That’s not true! I can do well! Right? Everyone?”

 

Clenching both fists tightly, Lil looked at his 3rd year classmates.

 

At that gaze, his classmates turned their eyes away.

 

“Let’s just leave it to Senior Elena.”

 

“Yeah, Lil. You don’t seem right for it.”

 

“I don’t know about combat-related things, but not administration.”

 

“The president definitely has an eye for people.”

 

At his classmates’ words, Lil’s shoulders drooped.

 

Everyone’s gaze turned to Elena.

 

Receiving that gaze, Elena smiled sweetly.

 

“Eyes here.”

 

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years flinched and turned their heads.

 

Though she had been relatively well-behaved after becoming a 4th year, Elena Jeron was a student called the Queen and Witch of Lumern.

 

Looking at such Elena, Leo said.

 

“Please have Senior Elena take on the vice student council president position.”

 

Elena twirled her hair and said.

 

“I don’t want to. Get other kids to do it.”

 

“I think Senior Elena is the right person for the job.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because you have the ability.”

 

At those words, Elena stared at Leo intently.

 

“Right of refusal?”

 

“There isn’t one.”

 

Elena, who had been looking at Leo for a moment, said.

 

“Fine, but I have a condition.”

 

“A condition?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Elena smiled beautifully and said.

 

“Go on a date with me once.”

 

At those words, everyone inside the student council was surprised.

 

“Eh, Senior Elena. A date with brother as a condition? Isn’t that too strange?”

 

When Lil panicked, Elena’s eyes widened.

 

“Huh? Is there a problem? It’s just one date, isn’t it?”

 

“Th, that’s true, but how should I put it? It seems a, a little inappropriate?”

 

“What kind of naughty imagination did our cute Lil have to say a date seems inappropriate?”

 

“I, I didn’t think anything!”

 

Looking at Lil shouting with a reddened face, Elena rested her chin on her hand and looked at Leo with a sweet smile.

 

“So? What will you do? President?”

 

At Elena’s words, Leo spoke leisurely.

 

“It’s not a difficult request.”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“Let’s do it, a date.”
