I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City

25 – Transfer Ceremony (1)

Academy City Agora.

Commonly known as Academy City, this is the best educational institution representing the continent.

As a planned city created by the first hero and the protagonist of 【Failed Hero 1】, it has been called the cradle of warriors.

Since all functions of the city are solely focused on nurturing warriors, all members of the city do their best to produce the best warriors.

It was also an area that the demons were very concerned about because it was an institution that was decided on the continent and fostered warriors.

Even though it is such a strict educational institution, it is attacked by demons from time to time, so not only teachers but also students tend to return to a thorough meritocracy.

The authority of the students is very strong, and among them, the power of the student council was strong enough to influence the entire academy beyond the teachers.

This is the case even at one academy, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that the student council, which represents all the students in the city, controls the entire academy city.

Among them, the power of the student council president was such that even the central board of directors who ran the city had the right to speak.

Such academy city has built up a considerable position outside the city, too.

As we produce talented warriors every year, it felt like a back row was formed naturally.

In particular, the S-class warriors produced by Academy City were so strong that even powerful countries like the Empire could not treat them carelessly, so it was only natural that the Academy City they supported did not receive pressure from those around them.

Also, even if it wasn’t for them, high-ranking warriors from Academy City often visited the city to teach their younger students, so it was impossible to do anything stupid in a place like this.

Because it’s obvious that you’re the only one who will suffer a loss if you stab him for nothing.

For that reason, Medius Kingdom, including Academy City, could exist as an implicitly neutral country on the continent.

As Academy City boasted of its half-extraterritorial power, the nobles were the most troubled.

Those who used to live in their own country have to prove themselves only with their skills in Academy City.

Aristocrats from each country, as well as royal families, raised their voices to respect their authority, but of course, it was a sound that made no sense.

Academy City neatly ignored their bullshit.

Of course, it wasn’t without backlash, but what can I do?

This is Academy City.

Unreachable power is no different from a silent clamor.

Above all, it wasn’t a big problem since those stupid nobles couldn’t endure the hard school life in the beginning and quickly fell away.

Anyway.

There are many educational facilities such as schools, academies, and academies in these academy cities.

Due to the nature of the academies, where the level of education gradually increases, the number of students entering the academies is constant every year, and since there are countless such academies in the academy city, there is a large-scale transfer season at a fixed period each time.

Unlike the entrance ceremony held in March, the transfer ceremony was held a little earlier in January, because the transfer ceremony was a filter for entering Academy City.

Befitting a city where talented people gather, students who enter here also require a minimum of talent, and the transfer ceremony was a kind of test to weed out such talented students.

Prove that you have the qualifications to enter Academy City through the transfer ceremony in January, and apply to the school you want through the entrance ceremony in March.

Of course, as the number of applicants for the transfer ceremony is large, scouts from numerous academies tended to watch the test to determine which gems might exist, and even if they were eliminated from the transfer ceremony, if they caught the eye of the scouts, there was a possibility that they would be transferred directly. Because there was also, the students were quite concerned about their gaze.

That’s because the main character of [Failed Hero 2] Entered school with a pull-up like that.

Anyway, the transfer ceremony was a place to prove that you were qualified to enter the academy, so even if you failed at the transfer ceremony, you have no right to stop a student who was accepted by a scout.

Of course, whether or not the successful students will graduate safely is purely based on their skills.

Anyway.

For that reason, the transfer ceremony was a huge event for both the prospective students and the academy.

Although it is an event that does not apply to current students, it was like a war to secure talent by turning on the light in the eyes of the academy that wants to enroll students.

And that hasn’t changed on the side of Academy City that manages the transfer ceremony.

In a way, it was only natural that the student council in charge of the administration of Academy City would be busy.

───

On the day of the transfer ceremony.

Yeon Jeseong woke up early in the morning and was praying to God.

‘Please! Definitely this time! We’re doomed without a hero! Goddess of Light, you know that too!’

Yeon Je-seong, who had lost his mind halfway after waiting for the past 7 years, had finally reached the point of making a deal with God.

‘So let’s go easily and easily. Because I will pave the way for the main character. It’s not even silk, it’s a mithril road. Huh? It’s okay to just come, so just go to school.’

After going through denial, anger, and fear, he finally reached the stage of bargaining and worked hard to persuade God with his eyes closed.

How many years have I spent waiting for the main character!

I have prepared numerous ways to increase his strength while training myself to help him.

Although he is not interested in male characters, he does not know his name or what kind of weapon he uses, but he has been waiting for the main character by simulating tens of thousands of times in preparation for all kinds of situations.

Everything for the main character!

‘But the main character didn’t come!’

He closed his eyes and prayed without ceasing.

Seven years have already passed.

Seven years have passed since he became the total student body president himself.

‘My age is already 23! Now I really have to come out!’

In the [Failed Hero] Series, the role he plays is a villain that will be used as a stepping stone for the main character as well as an important villain.

That’s why you have to have the right amount of charisma, and it was difficult even if you were too old.

In the first place, what does the student council president over 30 mean?

‘It’s still dangerous…….’

Nowadays, the current students were avoiding him even if he only showed them, let alone make eye contact with him.

It was only natural for Jeseong Yeon to feel uneasiness in his heart at his obviously heterogeneous appearance.

‘Kids are starting to see me as a fossil these days. Now, whenever I see young students, I feel intimidated!’

Yeon Je-seong trembled as he recalled the gazes of the students he had seen in the past.

‘Senior? Graduation… Aren’t you?’

‘Shh! Quiet! That’s because seniors have ideas too!’

‘…Isn’t it?’

‘Of course! Even so, it’s been well over three years since I graduated, and you’re not going to continue as president forever.’

“Keugh!”

Yeon Je-seong shed a deep moan at the sudden internal injury.

The psychological damage was significant.

Even though the student didn’t really say that, the gaze clearly meant that.

The innocent junior’s eyes were very painful.

He hurriedly stopped his thoughts and sank deeply into his memories of the past.

Remembering the dark history of the past?

Yeon Je-seong realized that his mental state had deteriorated considerably.

After the prayer, he began to practice aura while breathing slowly.

Is it because it’s not the practice I’ve been doing every day, but because I’m doing it properly with each angle?

He let out a sigh of relief as he felt his peace of mind returning.

Smart—

It was then.

As he continued to practice, he heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

He averted his gaze, feeling the way he spoke much harder than before.

The girl opened the door slowly and walked towards him with frequent steps.

“Brother.”

“Yes.”

He looked up at the girl.

The girl who hasn’t changed at all from before was looking at herself the same way.

“There is a transfer ceremony today. You should prepare soon.”

“Yes, it should.”

Seonhwa, who became the secretary of the student council following her, said that while wearing her school uniform.

Unlike in the past, I was very happy with the feeling of friendship felt in their eyes.

‘Is it worthwhile to get a little closer?’

Sonhwa’s expression has become much softer thanks to the relationship she has built up by gradually narrowing the distance.

The cold expression from before had almost disappeared, leaving only a soft expression.

Sometimes, it’s to the point of playing pranks on yourself, so it’s safe to say that you’ve achieved your goal.

As I slowly started to dress, Seonhwa also started helping me by my side.

She lifted up her jacket and put it on me, then put on her tie and looked up at me.

“Thank you, Sunhwa.”

“…Yes.”

She smiled bashfully and fell off with a wistful look on her face, and she immediately turned around and opened her door.

“What time is the transfer ceremony today?”

“It’s scheduled to start at 9.”

“Who is in charge of control?”

“All departments are being mobilized, centering on the student council member’s leadership team.”

As she left the mansion and went back to her work mode, she said that with a cold expression on her face again.

Anyway, it’s a leader.

“Did Lu also participate?”

“If it’s her guiding officer, she’ll probably be patrolling inside her city. Her men have called for her, so she should arrive in her time.”

“I see. Vice-captain must be burdensome.”

Anyway, Lou is young.

The role of the deputy director who will assist by the side must be important.

After a short thought, I continued to ask.

“Can I go straight to the venue?”

“No, the president called and we have to go there first.”

“…Chairman?”

What happened to that lady… ?

“Hmm. Then we’ll have to stop by the central district first.”

The Central Board of Directors and Student Council are located in the Central District, so you can go there first and then go to the transfer hall.

“I hope this transfer student will have good friends.”

“That’s right. It would be nice if we had talented people to hire.”

I wish it was real.

Especially the main character.
