Chapter 31: Joining the Student Council
I felt a little awkward.
Because all three girls looked over because of this comment.
"Uh… Sister Angelina, what does this have to do with age?"
Stephanie glared at the long-haired girl angrily.
"Oh? Sephone, I didn't expect you to be so perceptive at such a young age. I'm really impressed."
"Aiya! I didn't mean that. Will and I are just friends. I was too excited just now. I was merely thanking him for teaching me important knowledge…"
Sephone glanced at me, then explained to the two girls.
For some reason, I felt a little disappointed to hear Sephone say that.
"So that's how it is? Our little genius, Sephone, actually needs to consult others. Looks like this Will is the freshmen who uses strange magic?"
The short-haired Elsa let go of Sephone neck with curiosity in her eyes.
"That's right. Will is a true genius. Even the teacher has determined that he is the number one light-attribute magic freshmen this year…"
"Senior Sisters, actually, Sephone has overpraised me. I only read two more books than others. In addition, I had some foundation, so I was lucky enough to defeat Carle."
I quickly interrupted Sephone's praise.
It would be terrible if these two seniors from the Student Council thought that I was arrogant because I appeared to be accepting compliments from others with no qualms when I didn't know what to say.
"Heh, looks like Will is quite humble. However, since the teacher has already admitted that you're the first among the freshmen it means that you are capable enough. Do you want to join the Student Council? The teacher should have told you that the first among the freshmen has this right, right?"
"Mm, mm, that's right! By the way, Sephone has already been internally selected by the Student Council. If you join us, every time the Student Council meets, you can date openly. Isn't that wonderful? Although you're still young, you can still nurture your relationship from a young age!"
The two seniors spoke one after another.
"Sister Angelina, why are you like this…"
The blush that had just faded from her face immediately returned. Her shy gaze kept lingering on Angelina and me.
"Senior Sisters, may I ask what the Student Council does?"
I looked at the two seniors and asked while helping Sephone out.
"Oh dear!"
Angelina patted her head, looked at me and Sephone, and smiled again. "It's all because of the exciting scene just now. I forgot the most basic introduction. The Student Council, in layman's terms, helps the academy to manage the students. If students violate the school rules, we can correct them. Also, the annual academy celebration is organised by us. That's about it. You'll know when you join the Student Councol. Let me reintroduce myself. I'm the Vice President of the Student Council, Angelina, a third-year student."
"I'm Elsa, a student council member and a third-year student. Will, are you interested in joining us now? Apart from Sephone's company, there are other pleasures you'll never experience in ordinary classes."
After Elsa briefly introduced herself, she winked at me and tempted me again.
A pleasure that could not be experienced in ordinary classes?
Looking at the senior sisters who were pretending to be mysterious, I had indeed become quite interested in the student union.
From the way they walked over just now, I could sense that they had really been tested in battle. It was different from a duel between students. It was a true test of life and death.
And then there were the swords at their waists. I'd never seen any of the other students on the playground wearing weapons. And the first time Sephone had casted and created magic, she'd actually created a sword. It was hard not to think of them as her role models and idols.
And the reason why they wore swords…
Show that they were different? That was not necessary. From the conditions to join the Student Council——placing in the top two of every attribute magic, this was already very different.
This sword was most likely used for combat. If I joined the Student Council, I would have more opportunities to hone my combat experience.
"Then, seniors, is there any procedure to join the Student Council?"
I asked.
"Does that mean you agree? Of course, there are procedures, but you just have to come with us. When you see the President, she will help you settle everything."
Angelina smiled.
"Then let's go now. Will, and Sephone, come along. I'll take you to meet the President and the other members first."
Sephone and I exchanged glances and followed the two seniors.
Along the way, we chatted and laughed and arrived at a building at the back of the academy.
Walking up to the top floor, the room with the "Student Council Room" sign appeared in front of me and Sephone.
"President, we've brought the freshman who caused a sensation."
The two seniors pushed the door open and entered.
What greeted our eyes was a long table. At the end of the table was a girl.
Black hair, red dress, neat bangs hanging just above her eyebrows, hands crossed and supporting her chin, staring at something on the long table.
There were also two people on both sides of the long table, a male and a female. When they saw the door open, they looked up.
"Oh? Angelina, Elsa, are these two new members your childhood friends?"
The black-haired girl stood up and looked at me and Sephone.
"No, President, Sephone is our good friend and the genius of the Russell Family. Will is the freshmen who caused a sensation. Yes, he might even be the son-in-law of the Russell Family in the future."
Angelina smiled at us.
Both Sephone and I were stunned.
I didn't expect Angelina to still be in the mood to joke with us on such an occasion.
"Oh? There's actually such a thing? The two of you are childhood sweethearts."
The President walked out of her seat and came to us. She said, beaming, "Welcome, Sephone Will. I'm the President of Olgus Academy's Student Council, Leah. I'm a fourth-year student. I believe in Angeline's judgment. Therefore, from today onwards, you're new freshmen members of the Student Council."
"Yes… President."
Because of Angelina's nonsense just now, both Sephone and I were a little nervous.
"Hehe, you don't have to be nervous. Dating is not prohibited in the academy, and the Student Council is naturally the same. You can be at ease and boldly announce your relationship. In addition, let me introduce, you already know these two. This is the Vice-President of the Student Council, Matthew, a second-year student. The other is the Student Council's Registrar, Evelyn, also a second-year student."
President Leah smiled and introduced the other two members who had stood up to us.
With that,
she returned to her seat.
"Will, is this the light-attribute magic you used just now?"
President Leah held up a painting from the long table.
To be precise,
it was a sketch.
