Jelia stood there, confidence on her face.
"...Heh. You should see the look on your face. It was only a joke." [Jelia]
"A… joke?" [Adam]
"What, did you really want to become my slave?" [Jelia]
Adam became embarrassed at his own words.
"N-no. Why would I want to be your slave?" [Adam]
Looking at his reaction, Jelia giggled.
"You're pretty funny, but it still doesn't change the fact that you're coming with me." [Jelia]
"Huh?" [Adam]
"Although you won't be a slave, you're going to be my subordinate." [Jelia]
"Wait, what?" [Adam]
"The list I read off to you earlier was all real, so you can either be suspended or possibly even expelled." [Jelia]
("I can't keep up with what she's saying!") [Adam]
She noticed Adam's confused look and pauses.
"It doesn't seem like you're listening. Either that, or you still need to understand my words." [Jelia]
"I was more of the second one." [Adam]
"Then, to simplify it… Either become my subordinate, or be potentially expelled from this school." [Jelia]
"But I don't remember doing any of those things!" [Adam]
"That's what they all say." [Jelia]
"But-" [Adam]
"Listen, I'm doing this for your sake. In order for you not to get expelled, I'm putting you under my care as a reform student." [Jelia]
She ignored his words, forcing Adam to the realization that she wasn't going to listen.
"As a reform student, you will always have to be within my supervision." [Jelia]
Adam had already given up on conversing with her, so he just nodded.
"Here, this will prove that you're under me." [Jelia]
She handed him a red armband that read: Council.
"Go ahead, put it on." [Jelia]
He slid it onto his arm and clipped it to his sleeve.
("What am I even doing…") [Adam]
Suddenly, a short boy with large glasses came running to Jelia.
"President!" [Short Boy]
"Yes, Heru?" [Jelia]
"We have trouble, it's the usual number 3." [Heru]
("The usual number 3?") [Adam]
"The usual number 3… Got it. What floor?" [Jelia]
"The third floor. Class 2-C." [Heru]
She turned to Adam and smiled.
"Looks like we have a job for you." [Jelia]
He grabbed him by the arm and dragged him along. In the span of a minute or less, they were on the third floor.
("She's fast!") [Adam]
Upon arriving, they saw multiple students fighting each other in the hallway.
"Go on." [Jelia]
She patted him on the back, urging him forward.
"Wait! What am I supposed to do?" [Adam]
"Isn't it obvious? Resolve the situation." [Jelia]
Adam glanced at the crowd and back at Jelia.
"Are you serious?" [Adam]
"Absolutely." [Jelia]
Seeing that she won't listen to him, he nervously walked to the crowd.
"Uh… excuse me, can you please stop fighting?" [Adam]
"Huh? Who the hell are you?" [Student A]
"Out of my way!" [Student B]
He passed by Adam and elbowed him in the chest.
"Agh!" [Student B]
("It… didn't hurt?") [Adam]
The student knelt down and clutched his elbow.
"What did you do?!" [Student B]
"I'm pretty sure you just hurt yourself, you weakling." [Student A]
"What did you say?!" [Student B]
The crowd became more chaotic and the fight only turned worse.
("I literally have no clue as to how I'm supposed to do this.") [Adam]
He looked at Jelia and gestured to her.
("How am I supposed to do this?") [Adam]
Jelia smiled at him and gestured back. She held a thumbs up and did a slicing motion around her neck.
"..." [Adam]
He silently waded through the crowd until he was the very center of attention.
"Huh? Who's this guy?" [Student C]
Adam clapped loudly, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Sorry for interrupting you, but I have to ask you guys to stop. If you do not comply, I will have to handle the situation with violence myself." [Adam]
"Shut up freshman!" [Student D]
He swung wide, but Adam just stood there.
("I'm going to take this one, I need to confirm it.") [Adam]
"Argh!" [Student D]
His fist slammed onto Adam's face, but his hand was the one that got injured.
("It's confirmed. The pill Roy gave me actually worked!") [Adam]
Seeing how one of the students ended up, some of them were reluctant to keep going.
"What are you backing down for?! He's only one guy!" [Student A]
The crowd let out a war cry, uniting against a single threat. All at once, they attacked.
("If I'm strong enough to not be hurt, then I guess a slap will do.") [Adam]
He stuck his arm out and spun around.
"Bwuh!" [Student A]
"Gah!" [Student C]
The students were taken down all at once, leaving Adam the only one standing. He inspected his body, checking if there were any scratches.
("Nothing on me… Is this what it feels like to be Sebastian?") [Adam]
"Excellent work." [Jelia]
Without him noticing, she was already behind him.
"Here, you must be tired." [Heru]
He came out from behind Jelia, holding out a towel.
("The president is kind of a nutjob, but this guy here is pretty considerate.") [Adam]
He accepted the towel and wiped his face with it.
"Now that I've dealt with them, am I free now?" [Adam]
"What? You think just that will free you?" [Jelia]
"Is that not how it works?" [Adam]
"No, you're supposed to work for me for a definite amount of time." [Jelia]
"And how long is definite to you?" [Adam]
"Three Months." [Jelia]
"...So you're saying I have to do this kind of work for three months?" [Adam]
"Not just this, but also some paperwork." [Jelia]
("I can't believe this is happening…") [Adam]
"Come, we have more work to do." [Jelia]
