558.

 

The Erek Training Ground where Lumern’s official events are held.

 

All students within Lumern had gathered there.

 

Today was the day when the resignation ceremony and inauguration ceremony of the vice student council president would be held.

 

“Do they normally hold such a grand inauguration ceremony for the vice student council president too?”

 

Juwen, who was standing at the very front of the 1st year Department of Magic students, made a puzzled expression.

 

“Originally, they say it’s done together with the student council president’s inauguration ceremony.”

 

Shasha, who was standing at the front of the Summoning Department in the row next to Juwen, answered while snapping open her fan.

 

“Actually, last year when Senior Leo had his inauguration ceremony, he appointed Senior Hark too.”

 

“Ah…”

 

Since the freshmen hadn’t enrolled yet at that time, they couldn’t directly witness Leo’s inauguration ceremony.

 

However, the inauguration ceremony itself was passed down like a legend through their department seniors.

 

“To tell the upperclassmen to come at him if they were dissatisfied with him being student council president. Ah, he’s really so cool.”

 

Shasha let out a squeal.

 

“He is amazing though… When Senior Hark refused the vice student council president position, he told him to do as he’s told. I could never do that.”

 

As Juwen shook his head, Havedon, who was standing in the Knight Academy line, spoke up.

 

“Did you hear? They say Senior Leo reorganized the 2nd year student council?”

 

“I heard. I think they’ll announce the roster together this time.”

 

“I wonder who it will be?”

 

The freshmen were very curious about the newly organized 2nd year student council.

 

-Vice Student Council President Hark Rigard is entering.

 

At that moment, a student council officer serving as the host on the platform of the Erek Training Ground announced Hark’s entrance.

 

Since the student council event was a student event, the professors were watching the student council-led inauguration ceremony from below the platform.

 

Hark, standing on the platform, looked around at all the grade levels and spoke.

 

-For the past year, I have led Lumern as Lumern’s vice student council president. Thanks to all of you doing well, I was able to spend a desirable and rewarding time. I am very grateful to all of you who followed me despite my shortcomings. However, if there is a beginning, there must be an end. For me, who is facing graduation, to continue holding the vice student council president position and handling duties…

 

Hark began his resignation ceremony speech with a solemn and serious demeanor.

 

However, contrary to his voice, the corners of his mouth were endlessly twitching.

 

‘His smile is practically reaching his ears.’

 

‘This is the first time I’ve seen Senior Hark this happy.’

 

‘Could he be that pleased?’

 

The Lumern students stared blankly at Hark, who was continuing his speech while trying his best to hold back laughter.

 

-My successor as vice student council president is Elena Jeron. I hope everyone will follow her well.

 

With those words, Hark tried to step down from the platform.

 

Then a student council officer asked.

 

-Don’t you have any final words for the students?

 

Hark paused at those words, pondered, then spoke.

 

-Go wild. Pfft… Puhkeuheuheuheuk!

 

Hark was apparently so delighted to be freed from the vice student council president position that he finally burst into laughter.

 

-Hark Rigard, get down from the platform immediately and bow your head down.

 

At the cold voice that seemed like it could blow away even the midsummer heat, Hark’s face instantly hardened.

 

“Why, why are you doing this! That Leo guy also told me to do as I’m told last year!”

 

“Huh… I suppose now that you’re graduating, you think you’re untouchable?”

 

Hallind smiled coldly as he looked up at the platform.

 

“Commanding as student council president and mocking the students are completely different things.”

 

At those words, Hark came down from the platform with a pale face and bowed his head down on the training ground.

 

Whether he was the strongest 5th year in the Knight Academy or a graduating student, before Hallind he was just a young lamb.

 

While everyone was breaking out in cold sweat watching Hark, Elena calmly stepped up onto the platform.

 

Elena grabbed the hem of her uniform skirt, slightly bent her knees, and gave a gentle smile.

 

-Though I am lacking, I am Elena Jeron who has taken on the role of vice student council president. Please take care of me for the next year, fellow students.

 

At Elena’s graceful greeting, the 1st year male students unconsciously blushed.

 

The female students also looked at Elena, who showed the perfect image of an honor student, with admiring eyes.

 

Since entering Lumern, the freshmen had rarely had occasion to encounter Elena.

 

She was busy with mission performance, and Elena herself didn’t feel the need to show her face to the freshmen.

 

Most decisively, the biggest reason was that Elena had stopped her troublemaking after Leo became student council president.

 

For the freshmen who had only encountered Elena through rumors, her current appearance was their first impression of her.

 

Therefore, they were amazed by that appearance called the Queen of Lumern.

 

Of course, the other grade levels felt completely different.

 

‘Why is she acting like that? Did she eat something wrong?’

 

‘Why is she acting like that? I’m anxious.’

 

‘My stomach feels bad.’

 

Not only the 4th years who were her classmates, but also the 3rd and 2nd years looked at Elena with trembling eyes.

 

“I heard Senior Elena is a very scary person. She doesn’t seem like that at all?”

 

“She seems like a good person.”

 

“Uwaaah.”

 

The freshmen looked up at Elena and let out exclamations.

 

Elena was born with the demonic magic power to naturally draw people’s attention.

 

The power to bewitch people just by using magic.

 

It was a power that could become a curse if handled wrongly, but Elena’s genius allowed her to control that power perfectly.

 

Originally, she used that power as the basis for her troublemaking, but now it worked as absolute charisma.

 

Elena smiled brightly at such freshmen and gracefully waved her hand.

 

-The freshmen are really cute. So fresh~

 

“Senior Elena!”

 

“You’re amazing!”

 

“Kyaak!”

 

Enthusiastic reactions burst out from among the freshmen.

 

‘Don’t be fooled! She’s a witch!’

 

The other grade levels looked at the freshmen as if they were pitiful.

 

-First, since I have been entrusted with student council operations by the student council president, I have newly selected new officers who will build the next student council. Today, we will have time to introduce the new student council members to you fellow students. We’ll start with the 4th year student council first.

 

Seeing Elena steadily introducing the next student council members as vice student council president, even the professors showed surprised expressions.

 

They already knew that Elena would become vice student council president, but they hadn’t expected her to perform the vice student council president duties so exemplarily.

 

From the 4th year student council to the 3rd years.

 

And then it was the 2nd years’ turn.

 

“Wow, are all the department tops in the 2nd year student council?”

 

“The members are incredibly luxurious.”

 

Just because someone has good grades and is an honor student doesn’t mean they’re all interested in student council work.

 

Therefore, the 2nd years having all department tops in the student council could be said to be a very exceptional case.

 

“I don’t know about others, but Eliza Herginn is definitely unexpected.”

 

“That delinquent student?”

 

Questioning looks poured out not only from the upperclassmen but also from among the teachers.

 

Eliza’s shoulders trembled.

 

“This is why usual conduct is important.”

 

“Chen Xia! Are you making fun of me right now?!”

 

Eliza flared up at Chen Xia.

 

If it had been another student, she would have reacted even more fiercely, but Eliza was particularly weak when it came to Chen Xia.

 

Even in the midst of this, Elena continued calling out the 2nd year student council members.

 

-Finally, student council president representative, Cal Thomas.

 

At Elena’s words, all the students began murmuring.

 

“Student council president representative?”

 

“Cal Thomas?”

 

The immovable last place student in 2nd year Department of Magic.

 

No, he’s the undisputed last place in the entire 2nd year.

 

He’s famous for always achieving good grades at every crossroads of expulsion and surviving like a ghost, but that’s about it.

 

So when Cal was said to be taking on the role of acting student council president, all students couldn’t help but be surprised.

 

“Cal-senpai!”

 

Juwen clasped both hands together and hopped up and down.

 

“Is it because you’re best friends with the president?”

 

“Nepotism? No way.”

 

But when the freshmen started whispering afterward, he frowned.

 

“Hey! You guys! Are you disrespecting Cal-senpai right now…?”

 

“Do you think Leo-senpai seems like someone who would entrust his acting position to someone just because they’re close?”

 

Havedon said coldly.

 

“In the first place, that person survived through skill, didn’t he?”

 

“Are the 2nd year seniors people who would just watch someone take a high position through personal connections?”

 

“We underestimated him during the entrance exam and got thoroughly beaten.”

 

“Professor Hallind also said he was a senior with much to learn from.”

 

“Thinking about it, I can’t guarantee I’ll still be at Lumern next year. When you think of it that way, it’s amazing, isn’t it?”

 

The freshmen showed reactions of understanding.

 

Meanwhile, Cal, who had climbed onto the platform, let out a deep sigh.

 

“I really don’t know if I should be here.”

 

“What? Fix that servile attitude. You’re Leo-oppa’s representative now.”

 

Chelsea said with a frown.

 

“Cal-kun tends to underestimate himself.”

 

Then Elena, who had turned off the magic amplifier, smiled brightly.

 

“I don’t entrust important positions to incompetent people. Have more confidence in yourself, Cal-kun.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

“Yeah. So please take care of things from now on, slave-kun.”

 

“Did you just call me a slave?!”

 

“No. You heard wrong.”

 

“I heard it properly! You definitely said slave!”

 

“I’m telling you it’s a misunderstanding.”

 

Elena laughed merrily and clapped her hands.

 

Soon, the introduction of the freshman student council members was also finished.

 

-For the next year, we will work our bones to the ground to reform the student council and lead Lumern well. That was Vice Student Council President Elena Jeron.

 

‘Did she just say she’d reform the student council to the bone?’

 

‘She’s saying she’ll work us thoroughly.’

 

The student council members smiled sadly.

 

After the inauguration ceremony ended, Juwen approached Cal.

 

“Cal-senpai! Congratulations on becoming acting student council president!”

 

“I don’t know if it’s something to congratulate.”

 

Cal smiled sadly.

 

Just as the students were about to disperse.

 

-Wait, wait, wait.

 

Elena, who had been about to come down from the platform, climbed back up onto the platform.

 

-I forgot there was an important announcement to make.

 

Elena hit her head with her fist, making a thunk sound.

 

-There’s an announcement from the student council president.

 

Everyone’s gaze turned to Leo, who had been quietly standing throughout the inauguration ceremony.

 

-It’s about Lusejeon. You all know that this Lusejeon will be held at Lumern, right?

 

Everyone nodded.

 

Lusejeon was an annual event.

 

As such, they had been preparing little by little since the beginning of the semester.

 

-The student council president said he wants to hold this Lusejeon a bit specially.

 

“What do you mean by specially?”

 

-Not just Lumern and Seirun, but Ajonia and Demian as well. A school competition where all Hero Academies gather to compete.

 

At those words, all the students’ faces hardened.

 

The professors also opened their mouths in shock.

 

Hark, who had been dragged by Hallind and was banging his head, unconsciously shot up from his seat.

 

“This is the first I’m hearing of this?”

 

“Since Hark-senpai told me not to even mention matters regarding school management anymore, I discussed it with Elena-senpai.”

 

Leo answered with a smile.

 

“Hey! Even so, you should have mentioned something like this much earlier!”

 

Hark shouted angrily.

 

Suddenly planning a competition where all Hero Academies gather?

 

It was an absurd story.

 

Everyone looked at Elena.

 

-It would be very difficult work. We’d have to contact other Hero Academies and create plans from scratch.

 

At Elena’s words, everyone let out sighs of relief.

 

Since Leo became student council president, school management has been the vice president’s authority.

 

Even if the president suggests such an idea, it’s over if the vice president rejects it.

 

-But our Lumern’s motto is to overcome limits! If it can’t be done, we have to make it happen, right?

 

But at Elena’s following words, the entire student body’s faces turned pale.

 

-If everyone works like dogs, we should be able to finish preparations in time for the Lusejeon schedule. So please know that this Lusejeon will be a competition between all four schools.

 

Leaving those words, Elena went down from the platform.

 

Screams poured out from here and there at the unilateral announcement.

 

Then Leo climbed onto the platform.

 

-From today, Hark-senpai will be acting vice student council president. Since we need to coordinate schedules with other schools, please report to the student council immediately.

 

At those words, Hark, who had collapsed into his seat with a thud, muttered with a dazed expression.

 

“So this is why you made that Elena girl vice student council president…”
