I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City

23 – Boyhood ~Let’s finish the preparations~ (Prologue complete)

It’s been a month since I came back from Hedo.

These days, the line art is strange.

“Oh, that’s line art. Good morning.”

“…!”

Even when we say good-bye in the morning.

“Thanks for the towel.”

“…!!”

When handing over a towel after training.

“Sleep well. See you tomorrow.”

“…!!!”

Until we parted late at night.

At first I thought it was because of my mood, but at this point, I had no choice but to know even if I didn’t like it.

‘Seonhwa, aren’t you avoiding me these days?’

Even when he faces me, he desperately hides his face.

This must mean that you don’t even want to see my face.

‘Did something go wrong?’

After Seonhwa was kidnapped.

Her Family, including me, was paying a lot of attention to her.

She

She told me to take time off from work to heal from the shock of the kidnapping (which she herself refused).

She also said that if she wanted to, she could quit being my servant and let me take on someone else’s business (though she herself strongly refused).

Even her father, the head of the household, personally visited Seonhwa’s house and asked her family, so it was clear that her family had paid a lot of attention.

But you’re avoiding me!

I wonder if the incident at that time became a trauma!

That’s why when you see me, the trauma automatically comes to mind!

If you think about it, there was no character that looked like Seonhwa next to ‘Yeon Je-seong’ in the original work.

Even though it was only a video of a PV, it was a big thing for me to think that she, her aide, was not there.

It would be fortunate if he did not enroll with ‘Yeon Je-seong’, but what if Seon-hwa there was also kidnapped?

Knowing the personality of Emperor Naya, she received his help, but it is unknown whether the original ‘Yeonje Castle’ also rescued Seonhwa safely.

At least he had the power of the Yeon family, so he would have saved her before she fell into trouble, but there was a good chance that he would have quit being the servant of ‘Yeon Je Castle’ after being shocked by her.

‘Because there is nothing I can do about trauma.’

Mental problems are not so light that they can be solved with just a few words.

Especially if you went through a big incident at a young age like Seonhwa, the experience might be deeply embedded in your mind.

As much as that, it requires meticulous attention from the family level.

‘But you can’t even see my face properly…….’

Because she is a child with a strong sense of responsibility, is she putting up with her difficult expression?

‘Should I drop her like her original work?’

I was willing to act as the original story if it was for her happiness.

I’ve fallen in love with her as much as I’ve been by her side for a long time, but I can’t make her difficult because of her petty greed.

‘She was immediately rejected when she asked before, but this time it might be different.’

At that time, I was a little taken aback.

Shaking her head and strongly rejecting her, she sent me a gaze that contained her reprimand, which was rare.

She probably wouldn’t have tolerated giving up on her job halfway through.

Since I was a Seonhwa that was expected by the adults in my family, I think I wanted to live up to their expectations.

Of course, if her maid of honor makes things difficult for her, she will force her to quit…….

‘I don’t know.’

That’s what she said, but it’s hard for her to ignore her intentions.

The family’s councilors say she’s pretty healthy for someone who’s been through a lot.

Maybe it’s not a problem caused by trauma.

And when that happens…….

‘I must be the problem after all.’

As the person who has been with her for the longest time is me, there is a high possibility that I made her feel uncomfortable without even knowing it.

If so, I should apologize.

.

.

.

“I’ll have to ask myself, too.”

I got up from my seat after removing the gravitational field that was weighing down my body.

It would be embarrassing if the situation got worse.

I roughly wiped the sweat running down my face with my hand and went out the door nervously.

“Whoa.”

A pleasant smile bloomed as the cold wind touched his heated body.

I let out a small sigh and immediately turned my gaze to Seonhwa, who was nearby.

Today, as always, she covered her face with a towel and handed it to me as if she had waited.

“Oh, thank you.”

“…!”

Seonhwa is shocked when the towel is handed to her and her fingertips brush against it.

‘Is it really traumatic?’

While hiding my mixed feelings about her reaction, I soon discovered the scars on her hands.

“Seonhwa, hold on.”

“…?”

I immediately reached out and grabbed her hand.

“…!”

“Your hand is hurt. Be careful.”

While saying that, I took out the bandage I had kept in my bosom and wrapped it around her hand.

‘Blisters? Are you doing some kind of training?’

Did I stare too hard?

She was motionless with her hand held, but when I wrapped the band around her, she started to look cute while floundering.

“…!…!?…!?!”

“Okay, I’m done.”

“…Thank you.”

She wiggled her hands with a silent clamor, and after a while she let out a shy voice over her face covered by her towel.

“Why is your hand hurt again?”

“…Nothing.”

“…….”

These are scars that could be scarred, but what does it mean to be nothing?

I said with all my heart, holding her hand even tighter.

“He’s hiding something from me.”

“…!”

She is taken aback by the sudden remark.

Seeing her reaction, I became more confident.

But there was an “If” To speak to her right away, so I spoke slowly and watched her reaction.

“Isn’t your chest stuffy these days?”

“…!”

“Sometimes I can’t sleep at night.”

“…!!”

“It’s painful because I keep thinking about that scene.”

“…!!!”

I slowly removed the towel from her face.

Then her expression, which became extremely heated, came into view.

“I want to deny it, but I keep thinking about it.”

“……!”

“I desperately ignore it, but it keeps occupying my head.”

“……!!”

“I tried to forget somehow, but I couldn’t.”

“……!!!”

“Yes.”

From her reaction, it was clear.

I said it clearly, looking at the half-crying woman.

“It’s a trauma.”

“As expected, I… Huh?”

She continued her speech through her tears, but she stopped her words abruptly.

“As expected, kidnapping was scary. It must have been a shock.”

“…….”

“Yes, I understand. Every time you see me, it must be painful because the memories of that time come back to you. It is natural that your heart trembles with fear.”

“…….”

“I’m sorry. I never thought the trauma would be so severe that I couldn’t sleep…”

“…….”

I felt that my gaze suddenly became cold, but I ignored it right away and continued talking.

“Seonhwa. After all, it wouldn’t be a good idea to quit being an attendant and take a break for a while…”

“Brother.”

It’s cold.

It was a voice that made my body shudder on its own.

“Eh, huh?”

At the same time, cold eyes were directed at me.

“The attendant will continue.”

“But…”

“Brother.”

That’s where I am.

I kept my mouth shut at the sight of even anger in my eyes.

“No one can be the servant of the young master. It is only for me and for me.”

“Seonhwa…”

So far I…… !

“If it’s not me, who else can handle the young master? It’s difficult for a stupid fool who only knows training to act like a cheater.”

It’s difficult to suddenly insert facts like that….

“It’s better for me to pay more attention than to make it difficult for a childish person.”

“…But you, even recently, you can’t even meet me when I look at you. Isn’t that too traumatic?”

“No. This is just…!”

Seonhwa said that in a huff, but when she met my eyes, she blushed and closed her mouth in an instant.

Then again she covers her face with a towel.

Soon after, she heard her small voice.

“…It’s not a trauma anyway, so don’t worry.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Then did I do something wrong?”

“That might be… Right.”

As expected!

I don’t know what it is, but it was clear that I was wrong.

At the same time, memories of the past came to mind.

‘Sister, if you do something wrong with a woman, apologize first.’

‘An apology? Suddenly?’

‘Yeah, don’t be late for nothing. I’m going to fuck you first with an apology.’

‘…Suddenly?’

‘It is necessary to act exaggeratedly. I have to keep my attitude as low as possible, thinking that it is always my fault.’

‘Ugh….’

‘And the important thing is to make eye contact and talk up close. Most opponents will forgive you if you do that.’

‘Is this correct….’

‘It doesn’t matter if I forget. But… Always be sincere when apologizing.’

I remembered a conversation I had with my older brother in the past.

My older brother who suddenly returned had a very different atmosphere, and it was an advice he rarely gave me.

Although he turned off his nerves after hearing that he had captured not only the saints but also the wizards, archers, and even the demon king.

Still, it was good to listen to his older brother’s advice.

Thanks to that, I remembered it at such an important moment.

I immediately followed his older brother’s advice and removed the towel from Seonhwa’s face.

“Eh, eh…?”

Then, holding her hands and pushing her face closer, her eyes trembled relentlessly.

“Sorry!”

“Heheh!?”

“I did something again!

“No, wait…”

“But trust me! My feelings for you will always be the same!”

“Wow!”

I grabbed her tighter as she wiggled and tried to free her hand.

“Huh?!”

“I want to be with you always!”

“That, stop…”

“I can’t imagine life without you now!”

“It’s over now…!”

“So accept my heart (apology)!”

“Wow…”

“…Is it Seonhwa? It’s Seonhwa!”

“How…”

After hearing her full apology, her Seonhwa finally let go of her strength and collapsed. I hurriedly picked her up and headed for her mansion.

It was an ordinary 12-year-old winter day.

───

After the incident at the age of 12, time passed quickly.

I absorbed all the teachings of my instructors and at the age of 13 I started wandering around the empire and experiencing the 10 martial arts.

In the meantime, by chance, I was able to meet my teacher and raise my level to the next level.

At the same time, when I was 12, I was looking for Seonhwa in Heodo.

At the end of the continent, there was a massive raid by demons.

The Kingdom of Crimea was destroyed by a sudden attack, and the Kingdom of Liam, which had a large territory, was renamed the Kingdom of Dongriam after half of its territory was taken away by demons.

The Holy Empire of Rosaria, which was facing them, also tasted the humiliation of losing the Holy Land.

It was only natural for a large-scale subjugation force to be organized against the demons who swallowed the continent.

In the midst of the dizzyingly changing battle situation, countless warriors tried their best to subdue the demons, but in the end, they suffered a bitter defeat without being able to overcome the Four Heavenly Kings who led the demons.

Three years have passed since the subjugation took place like that.

The Allied Forces, exhausted from a long war, accept the Demon Tribe’s proposal and sign a ceasefire agreement.

Although it is a shallow agreement that may be broken at any time, a momentary peace continues.

In the middle of it, a boy heads for Academy City.

“Remember. The neutral country of Medius is the country that Academy City belongs to. If it weren’t for Academy City, it wouldn’t be strange if it disappeared at any time. Do you know what this means?”

“Yes, that means the power of Academy City is strong.”

“That’s right. Enough to prevent the intervention of the great powers including us. So you should learn a lot from there.”

Politics, history, martial arts, knowledge.

Anything is fine.

Because Academy City is a place where talented people from all over the continent gather.

“Okay. Let’s stand at the pinnacle of it if possible.”

“…Total student council president. That would be nice too.”

However, that would be unreasonable with mediocre skills.

Especially with your body without magical powers.

Heeding his father’s words, the 15-year-old boy leaves the family.

Toward Academy City.

.

.

.

And time passes.

“Second place in the middle school of Slaine Academy! Yeon Je-seong is on the way!”

“Yes!”

“Congratulations on your graduation!”

After one year.

“Slane Academy High School Second Class! Yeon Je-seong is on the way!”

“Yes.”

“Congratulations on your graduation!”

Two years have passed.

“2 Seats in Academy City! Yeonje Castle is on the way!”

“No, wait.”

“This rider is the golden generation. I never thought such talented warriors would be born!”

Three years have passed since I graduated from an academy.

“What? Student President?”

“Yes.”

“Untitled. Didn’t you graduate already?”

“Yes.”

“But you’re going to do it again?”

“The total student council is merit-based. As long as you have skills, it doesn’t matter if you’re a graduate.”

“Wait. Wait a minute. Untitled. Originally, the fledgling party should go out and raise its reputation.”

“…….”

“…Are you sure you don’t intend to increase your reputation? No, even if that’s not the case, it won’t give you a good look if a graduate holds the president for a long time. No, that’s okay. You’re strangely popular. “

“…….”

“…….”

“Pray.”

“Enough. That’s it. Since it’s you, you must have something in mind. Yes, I’ll leave the apex of Academy City to you. Instead, I will take the apex of the continent to Frey!”

“Okay, leave the wires to me, Frey.”

That’s how he became student council president.

“…….”

Just like that, another year.

“…….”

2 Years.

“……?”

3 Years.

“……??”

After 4 years.

When the 5th consecutive term was confirmed with overwhelming votes.

“…Why isn’t the main character here?”

He is 23 years old.

I was spending the day waiting for the main character who did not come today.

***

“Brother.”

“Line drawing.”

“The transfer ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow.”

“Oh, was it a transfer to the high school?”

The time when people from outside Academy City come to enroll.

Ahead of the transfer season, Yeon Je-seong quietly closed his eyes.

‘It’s been 7 years since I took office at the age of 17.’

Now I really have to come out!

Yeon Je-seong poured holy water and prayed in the room.
