I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City

26 – Transfer Ceremony (2)

On the day of the transfer ceremony.

Academy City’s checkpoint was crowded with a considerable crowd.

Not to mention the commoners who look around impatiently.

With the nobles who are trying hard to keep their faces calm.

Even the royal family watching the checkpoint with leisurely gestures.

The image of people of different social status mixing and forming a procession was quite an exotic painting to see from the surroundings.

As even the nobles who were about to leave soon had to move together to the checkpoint, it seemed that this strange procession would continue for the time being.

And at the end of this checkpoint procession was a carriage that had just arrived—

“Okay! Everyone is here! Please pass the exam, pretty girl!”

“Thank you! And I’m a man!”

The door of the crude wagon opened and a young girl appeared.

“This is…Academy City…!”

The girl, who looked roughly like a high school student, held a large gym bag in her hand and glared at the academy city in front of her.

Her girl, revealing her beautiful blonde hair and golden eyes, burst into her admiration and the eyes of all around her rushed towards her.

At the same time, right after the men who fell in love with the girl’s beautiful appearance inadvertently burst into exclamation.

“Such…Stupid…!?”

People who ‘recognized’ the girl’s outfit screamed as one.

“A boy’s school uniform?”

“…Men?”

“A man?”

I don’t know which school uniform it was, but the girl was wearing a male school uniform.

‘I’m glad. Everyone sees me as a man.’

Meanwhile, the girl who was secretly listening to the voices around her let out a sigh of relief.

The girl who had to dress up as a man for some reason was worried that her disguise would soon be exposed, but contrary to her worries, the reactions around her were not bad.

“No, a man?”

“Why is that a man?”

“Ah, my God…”

People who looked at the girl all responded in disbelief.

Obviously, the girl’s appearance itself seemed to be decorated in a neutral way, but it was not difficult to distinguish because the original version was so good.

However, even so, her people were convinced that she was her man at once the moment they saw her.

As if under some kind of magic.

People under group hypnosis showed different reactions.

“Unbelievable!”

“This pretty boy is a boy!”

“God is dead…!”

Of course, the resulting sense of alienation was brought on by the people around her who were looking at her, but she said.

“Excuse me~. Is this the procession to Academy City?”

“Yes? Oh, yes! You can wait here.”

“Thank you~”

The girl who captivated the man in front of her with her refreshing smile left behind the screams of the man who followed her and her eyes lit up as she looked at her academy city.

‘This is the academy city that mom and dad used to go to!’

Anticipation, excitement, excitement, etc.

As her many emotions flooded inside her, she unconsciously grabbed her bracelet on her wrist.

‘I’ll definitely go to school! Watch over mom! Dad!’

It was then.

The girl’s gaze, which had been looking at the front of the procession, suddenly turned to me.

“Eh? What, what? Why are those people suddenly…”

As the girl gave a panicked voice to the procession, a lively voice came from behind her.

“Don’t you know? Those are high-ranking nobles. Approval seems to have declined from within. I think they go in first.”

“A high-ranking nobleman? Wasn’t Academy City equal to everyone?”

To the innocent girl’s question, she answered with a smile.

“Haha! That’s right! Everyone is equal in Academy City. But we haven’t entered it yet.”

And if you proceed equally from the process of entering the city, there will be a lot of noise.

“There are already a lot of applicants, so you don’t want to waste your time on useless things.”

If you listen to the story, it seems that the nobles are giving special treatment as desired until the incorporation ceremony.

Managing more than tens of thousands of applicants one by one was a waste of time, so Academy City seemed to have made concessions up to this point so that there would be no noise.

The girl responded by nodding her head.

“Definitely! I can’t waste my time on something like this when I have a very busy schedule!”

Saying that it would be really sad if the transfer ceremony was delayed due to a trivial matter, the girl exaggeratedly pretended to steal her tears.

“Thank you for letting me know! So the name is…”

“This is Carmella. Carmella Ashporn.”

She said lightly, holding out her hand to her girl.

When her smile and bright red hair matched to create her beautiful figure, the girl inadvertently burst into admiration.

“Oops! You’re a noble!”

“Haha! It’s okay. Even if you’re a noble, you’re a small local baron.”

“I see! I’m Noah! I don’t have a last name, so feel free to call me Noah!”

When Noah said that, Carmella put on her face in wonder.

“…I was surprised. Just in case, I thought you were a commoner. I thought you must be a nobleman.”

“Ha ha! No nobles at all!”

“You’re so pretty, I inadvertently assumed you were a noble. I’m sorry, Noah.”

‘I’m sorry. He’s actually a nobleman.’

She dissuaded Carmella, who apologized lightly, and Noah apologized in his heart.

She was told that if she gave her last name here, something big would happen to her, so Noah followed her father’s advice and decided to play her commoner.

───

The line waiting for the inspection was long, but maybe it’s because it’s an annual event.

The people at the checkpoint worked very quickly.

Thanks to that, Noah was able to enter her academy city not long after.

“Wow…!”

And Noah burst into admiration at the sight unfolding before her eyes.

There are countless wizards flying through the sky.

On the ground, fast-moving chunks of scrap metal roam the road.

Besides, magic circles of unknown purpose were scattered all over the city.

It gave the impression of being in another world.

“Awesome…”

Carmella, who was interrogated alongside her, also looked at the city and couldn’t help but admire her.

“Is this Larmor’s magic square?”

“Wait a minute, there’s also Rickendor’s hexagram, right?”

“Oops! Adelia’s jewel magic circle?!”

Especially, as if she was a magician, she was constantly admiring the magic circle embroidering the city.

“Carmella, Carmella.”

“Mi, I’m sorry, Noah. I’m just over-excited.”

“It’s okay. More than that, we have to go too.”

The procession, which had already passed the checkpoint, was crowding along one side of the city.

If you go that way, there will definitely be a transfer ceremony hall.

Forcibly dragging Carmella, who had plenty of lingering lingering feelings, Noah jumped through the crowd.

───

The transfer ceremony was held in a huge playground located in one corner of the city.

“Huh…”

“This is a stadium, not a playground.”

Noah and Carmella looked tired at the crowds that filled the playground.

To think that he had to pass through so many people and stick to the transfer ceremony.

A little anxiety rose in Carmella’s heart as she looked at the people.

And right after that, Noah grabbed her hand.

“…Noah?”

“It’s okay.”

Noah nodded her head once as if she knew her troubles, and continued.

“If it’s Carmella, she’ll definitely stick with it.”

At Noah’s confident gaze, Carmella unknowingly avoided her gaze.

“…Thanks, Noah.”

『Ah, nice to meet you. Students who wish to enter.”

The words spoken in a low voice were lost in the sound that followed.

As the cold woman’s voice resounded throughout the field, the crowd’s eyes turned to the center.

『My name is Lee Do-eun, the head of the Ministry of Education of the Student Council. All educational plans in Academy City will be carried out through me, so please take good care of me.”

『First of all, all of the aspirants who have gathered here are the ones who entered the Department of Warfare. If you are a person who aspires to other departments rather than combat department, please let the nearby instructors know.』

‘A. No matter what, today only the combat department is being tested, so it’s possible that aspiring students from other departments came…….’

She was an optimistic Noah, but her reality was brutal.

“My God…”

Without checking the date properly, several aspirants raise their hands and approach the instructor.

“No, is there anyone who doesn’t even know when the transfer ceremony will be held?”

“The number of people is the number of people. It seems that there is always one every year.”

Noah couldn’t hide his surprise at Carmella’s words.

“…Are you done? Now, I believe that those who have not returned yet are all those who applied for the Combat Division.”

With her black hair in a ponytail, she pushed up her glasses and continued her words.

『As you know, the transfer ceremony is an important process to determine if you have the qualifications to enter Academy City. In particular, those of you who wish to study combat will be at the forefront of fighting the demons in the future.”

『That’s why I’m going to tell you right now. If you can’t pass the incorporation ceremony, stop being a warrior. It’s dog death anyway.”

An angry shout suddenly returned to her as she continued her words sharply.

“Hey! Who are you, do whatever you want? Anyway, this body will pass the transfer ceremony in an instant and enter Slaine Academy! Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!”

A man with blonde hair and tanned skin touched her and approached her.

“Wow. As expected, it’s Academy City! There are even bullies like that!”

“No, I don’t think this is because it’s Academy City…”

When Carmella checked her blonde hair, she replied with an ambiguous expression on her face.

On the other hand, the head of the education department, facing the bully, continued with a plain voice.

『Then let me get to the point. Before we begin…….”

“Huiyu~ More than that, you look pretty smooth, don’t you? How about having fun with me after this?”

『…You must receive the declaration ceremony prior to the transfer ceremony.』

Cleanly ignoring Yangachi’s words, she immediately looked in one direction.

Not the cold gaze that was directed at the bully, but the gaze of heated excitement and even a faint awe.

───!!

“……!”

It was a form of violence.

An invisible, intangible force takes over the playground in an instant.

‘I have to bring out everything I have!’

Noah, who had tasted that power along with the others, also broke into a cold sweat and desperately began to turn his magic power and aura.

Moving her body with almost instinctive judgment, she lifted her head and looked at her surroundings when her energy, which had been pressuring her body, went away to some extent.

“My God…”

People who were standing upright until recently have lost their minds and are collapsing.

Most of the personnel were lying on the floor, sucking bubbles, and those who were struggling to stand didn’t seem to have time to look around.

A situation where most of the aspirants gathered here have been incapacitated with only energy.

“Carmella!”

“Creepy!”

Carmella, who was by her side, also had a painful expression on her face, as if her mana had flowed backwards.

As Carmella hurriedly reached her and helped her cycle, she slowly regained her senses.

“…Noah?”

“Are you okay, Carmella?”

“Thank you, Noah.”

“What the hell is going on…”

“…Be prepared, Noah.”

Unlike Noah, who did not know English, Carmella seemed to know the reason to some extent.

She, who had a very tense expression on her face, stared in one direction of her.

“Because what you’re about to see is the pinnacle of this place.”

At the same time, the explosive energy was recovered like a lie.

“……Ah.”

When Noah discovered the man who opened the door and appeared with him, she stared blankly at him without even noticing the exclamation that erupted.

Black black hair.

Golden eyes with cool energy.

A stocky body that shows that it has been extremely trained.

Lastly, the armband on the shoulder of the black uniform.

Noah put on a puzzled expression as he felt the blood rush to his face.

“Uh, uh? Why is this?”

Pressing down on her relentlessly beating heart, she fixed her eyes on him.

As he walked along despite the sight of more than half of the people gathered at the playground collapsing, he slowly looked away, met Noah’s gaze, and stopped his steps.

“Wow!”

When his intense gaze reached me, Noah hurriedly covered his face and turned his head away, desperately avoiding his gaze.

“Noah?”

“…….”

How long has it been like that?

Noah didn’t look at him until Carmella, who was by her side, made a puzzled expression.

Then he headed towards the center and slowly raised the microphone.

『Welcome, gentlemen.』

‘What can I do? He has a great voice.’

When I looked at him as if I was possessed by his profound voice, his gaze turned this way again.

“…!”

But this time it must have been for a very short time, he immediately looked away and continued.

『My name is Jeseong Yeon, the student council president of Academy City.』

‘Student President. President.’

『And good job, gentlemen.』

Muttering so with a hazy face, Noah opened his eyes wide at the voice that followed.

『The declaration ceremony is over. Those who have fallen will be eliminated, so go home.”
