I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City

36 – Entrance exam (1)

Ricardo is a major professor at Ramos Magic School.

As a major professor of demonic ecology, he has a wide range of knowledge, including the culture, habits, and history of the demons.

He was a professor famous for having more in-depth knowledge than his fellow professors in various fields.

His lectures were also popular with students.

An easy-to-understand explanation, a textbook-oriented test, and finally a note test that replaced group assignments.

Because of his cool appearance and high-level teaching skills, he was also a person who achieved the No. 1 Position as the most popular professor chosen by students as well as among female students for three years without exception.

It was only natural, in a way, that his lectures, which had become so popular with both professors and students, were always full.

“Then let’s end today’s lesson here.”

As he puts the book he was holding on the table, the female students listening to the lecture scramble to approach him.

Each of them have different goals, but no matter what, they flatter students to get high grades as much as they are professors.

“Professor, see you next time!”

“Yes, goodbye.”

Ricardo took off his glasses and let out a sigh as the last remaining student left the classroom while dealing with the students who were chattering non-stop.

“…Not easy.”

After fixing his gloves and wiping his glasses in a natural motion, he left the classroom and headed for the lab.

“Oh, Professor Ricardo.”

“Professor Sandra.”

“Oh dear! You can call me Sasha!”

Ricardo had many fans for his smooth appearance and cool-headed personality, but even he was quite uncomfortable with Professor Sandra in front of him.

Thumb—!

“……!”

“That’s great. If you have time, let’s have a meal together!”

“That’s…!”

She was a person who constantly tested Ricardo’s patience, who would make physical contact with her whenever he had a chance.

Ricardo almost got angry at the hand caught through his glove, but he endured it with his superhuman patience and immediately showed a cold expressionless expression.

“It looks like it will be difficult today because I have a prior appointment. I’m sorry for inviting you.”

“Umm… I can’t help it if you have a prior arrangement. Instead, let’s have a meal together next time!”

He bowed slightly at her walking away with her frequent steps, and soon after her figure disappeared, she walked quickly into her lab.

He violently opened the door and immediately took off his gloves, then raised his mana and burned them in an instant.

“A bug that doesn’t even know the subject.”

He frowned and muttered softly, then went into the bathroom and started washing his hands.

Riccardo washes her hands with such a force that they peel off her skin, as if he was very displeased that he had held her hand, even through her glove.

“A lowly human would dare to take this body——!”

He washes his hands in a frenzy, and then, wiping his hands, he walks in front of the crystal ball in the corner of the lab.

While manipulating various devices in front of the beads, he looked around and began to use his magic cautiously.

“Alteration, mutation, alteration, concealment, blackout, disturbance, illusion, illusion…”

Numerous magic is cast and his surroundings flicker several times.

How long has it been like that?

After the casting of the magic, which took 10 minutes, was over, Ricardo blew mana into the crystal ball.

Chijik─ Chijik──

As he adjusted the frequency by adjusting the intensity of his magical power, he hurriedly prostrated himself when a wide screen appeared in the air.

[Oh! Are you Ricardo!]

“Meet the Horrors.”

[Khuhu, long time no see.]

At Ricardo’s reaction, who lowered himself to the limit, the man on the other side of the screen nodded as if it were natural.

The narrow-eyed man with dark hair and a monocle over one eye said to Ricardo, who was prostrated.

[So, how’s the plan going?]

“…That’s it.”

Ricardo can’t easily open his mouth to lightly asked questions.

The man on the other side of the screen made a puzzled expression at Ricardo’s reaction.

[Hmm? Why is that? Did something happen?]

“Actually…”

Ricardo, who was agonizing for a moment, expected that if he hid the truth, he would soon be found out, and soon spoke of the plan’s failure.

[Hmm.]

“I’m sorry! Please forgive me…!”

[…Failure.]

The man who quietly muttered failure eventually opened his eyes and looked down at Ricardo.

[There is no need for an unhelpful dog.]

“……!”

At the cold voice, Ricardo’s instincts set off an alarm.

“Next time! Next time, I won’t disappoint you! So please…!”

The man who had been looking at him with black eyes soon changed his mood and revealed a humorous atmosphere.

[Haha! It’s a joke. There’s no way you could ‘treat’ you, the executive, with just that.]

“Thank you!”

Unlike the playful atmosphere, his eyes revealed the sincerity of the conversation just now, so Ricardo swallowed hard while smiling.

[Anyway, he is a formidable man.]

“…….”

[What do you think, Ricardo. You must have witnessed him yourself this time, right?]

At the man’s words, Ricardo remembered the scene at that time.

The best prepared offerings are knocked down by those who are only wannabes.

The black sun, which had been prepared for a long time, was shattered by the chairman’s blow.

The plan he prepared ambitiously while carrying out professorships that did not fit his proportions was destroyed in an instant, and even the black sun, which would have blown the whole area apart had it exploded, was suppressed by the president’s hand–

“He’s a monster.”

Ricardo declared so.

The mana accumulated over the years.

Even the executive officer of the Four Heavenly Kings, who put all his energy into it, wiped it out with just one wave of his hand.

Ricardo’s eyes narrowed as he recalled the past.

It was a harbinger of the horrors to be presented to Academy City.

‘How can you do that with a human body…….’

As Ricardo trembled in humiliation as he recalled the vanished sun, the man who was looking at him burst into laughter.

[Ha ha ha! What a monster! That’s an accurate expression!]

“He’s not human. How could a human use his runaway magic so easily…”

[Oh my God. You don’t know him well yet.]

At Ricardo’s muttering, the man clicked his tongue and said.

[Don’t look at him as an ordinary human being. Like you said he’s a monster. Keep in mind that his existence itself is no different from our Four Heavenly Kings.]

“It can’t be! That’s overrated!”

Ricardo reacted strongly to the man’s words.

What kind of existence are the Four Heavenly Kings!

Aren’t they the highest-ranking demons right under the demon king, and those whose existence itself represents the phenomenon?

Darkness, death, fear, war.

These four demons were idols of all demons and enemies of the entire continent.

They are said to be on a par with the Seven Great Powers, but how dare a human being overtake their place!

However, the man in front of him seemed to be thinking differently.

[Ricardo, don’t you know how famine and pestilence died?]

“…….”

The former Four Heavenly Kings, Famine and Plague, were all subjugated by the allied forces.

In the case of famine, it was during the former Demon King days. He was a demon who died after a fight with the warrior of light, and the plague was a demon who died during the Allied forces’ recapture of the holy land many years ago.

Since it was death and war that took their place, the Four Heavenly Kings were relatively frequent, except for darkness, the only survivor from the warriors of fear and light who joined after the death of the previous demon king.

And then the man opened his mouth and drew attention.

[Even for lowly humans, strong ones sometimes appear.]

“I admit the hero of light who suffered famine. The previous demon king died because of him. However, the situation with the plague is not different.”

I remember Ricardo clearly because he participated in the recapture war.

The Plague fell into the allies’ mean trap and had to deal with many strong people!

“The Plague has greeted the strong without rest! There was a chairman among them, but with that alone, he is not a strong man on the same level as the Plague…!”

Ricardo, who was passionately arguing, stopped what he was trying to say at the man’s words and looked at him.

[Ricardo, you didn’t see the fight properly.]

“……”

He remained silent.

In fact, he himself was also fighting, so he couldn’t directly confirm the situation the plague was facing.

[As you said, it is certain that the Plague has fallen into the Alliance’s trap. I can assure you that I was looking at it in the mirror of fear. However, that alone didn’t make the plague a big disadvantage.]

“What is that…”

I couldn’t understand.

A lot of strong people gathered in front of him, but he wasn’t at a disadvantage?

[Of course. Because all of them couldn’t demonstrate their strength in front of the plague.]

“……!”

[The actual battle situation was rather favorable to the Plague. It took the lives of many strong people and injured many more strong people.]

“Then what is the plague about…”

Riccardo, who had been muttering helplessly, opened his eyes wide in surprise when an idea suddenly flashed through his head.

“No way!”

[Yes. Flammability. The hated martial arts teamed up with King Yeong to bury him.]

“…….”

Ricardo was so shocked he couldn’t even utter a word.

[Even in my opinion, that guy seems to have plenty of energy to deal with the plague.]

“…Huh.”

[As expected, at the time, he would have had a force equal to that of the Plague.]

Ricardo’s head fell at the man’s heavy voice.

While the feeling of despair filled his heart, he understood why his black sun was destroyed in an instant.

‘There must be a reason why the black sun disappeared so easily.’

The thought that followed with a brief resignation was cut off by the man’s words that followed.

[Anyway, be careful with the chairman. He is no ordinary human being. Keep in mind that he is no different from the beings who claim to be ‘gods’.]

The man who said that far continued the conversation in a lively voice.

[Well, that’s what I said. As much as the prepared plan was ruined, you have to take revenge, right?]

Ricardo was taken aback by the voice that, unlike what he had just said, sounded even more pleasant.

“Yes? However, the horror just said that you should be careful of the president…”

[Of course he is right to be careful. But you can’t leave Academy City alone like this, can you?]

Personally, I think it would be very fun to see Academy City tinged with fear!

[The president’s intervention is unavoidable. So let’s use that.]

“What is that…”

[I think the opposite. If he intervenes anyway, he will have no choice but to intervene on the contrary!]

Very grand and splendid.

I can’t help but keep my eyes on this side.

Yeah, I’m so preoccupied with this side that I can’t even pay attention to the wires.

──That’s what the demon spy would think.

“Is that true?”

“Yes, it is roughly expected.”

In the first place, they were allowed to infiltrate into the city for that purpose.

‘In the first place, isn’t it funny how only demons and the like invade Academy City, which has cutting-edge technology?’

Of course, it was allowed in the game in the previous work, but that’s because the city’s control AI, ‘Hi-Ho’, is false.

As long as there is a general student council, unidentified persons cannot approach the inside of the city.

I didn’t bring access control into our business for nothing.

Access control was originally managed by a private company under the influence of the board of directors, but the student council was forced to take charge of it.

‘Most events can be prevented if access is properly controlled.’

Even if you can’t block large-scale raids, you can still attract spies like this and use them as experience points.

Of course, the leader who was in charge of access control screamed, but that was an inevitable sacrifice.

As I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard Se-hee’s voice in my ear.

“Then the demons must be plotting something suspicious again?”

“Yes.”

If predictions are correct, wouldn’t it be an entrance ceremony event?

Invasion of demons, attacks of demons, etc.

There was a big event for generations during the entrance ceremony, so I just hope that it will be a good experience for the main character.

“Then wouldn’t it be good for us to be prepared as well? We don’t know what they’re going to do. No, why did we let the spy live in the first place!”

“Well, calm down.”

A normal person would have a natural reaction.

It means that he voluntarily brought in demons.

If you don’t know the circumstances, you won’t have anything to say even if you’re branded as a traitor.

“We decided to use them.”

“You want to use it?”

“Yes, using a spy to gather information in reverse. Haiho is already reaping some results.”

From his point of view, you might think he’s stealing our information, but in reality, we’re stealing their information.

“That’s why I appointed him as a professor of Asmodian Ecology.”

“No, making demons teach demons…”

“Doesn’t the demon know the best?”

Are you saying this is the right place?

“No, I don’t think so…”

Anyway, I look forward to the entrance ceremony.

In preparation for the entrance ceremony, I invited the vice president who was outside, and also invited my classmates who had graduated, so the security is perfect just in case.

Of course, I didn’t invite Frey, because I need someone to protect the front line, but he doesn’t care about things like that.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

It will be difficult for other demons to enter due to the city’s security, and is it also a demon using the gate?

‘It’s an EXP event!’

Okay, let’s take this opportunity to raise the main character!

It’s a pity that there is no shop in reality.

If there was, I could have bought experience coupons.
