Chapter Twenty-Three: The Late Night Library
When Maika woke up, it was late at night.
Teorit's welcome party for new students has long since ended, and only some faculty and staff are putting the finishing touches on the E5 building.
What happened?
Shaking his head, Mika, who had just woken up from a coma, was clearly not awake.
However, after a few seconds, Maika remembered it.
2567!
Demon!
The moment the memory appeared, Mika's whole body trembled uncontrollably.
He staggered to his feet and walked out in a daze.
But before Maika could reach the door, a voice stopped him.
"Maika."
"You woke up just in time."
"If you don't wake up again, I'm going to use a special method."
A neatly dressed Stalter appeared in front of Mika.
"Fuck off."
Maika said grumpy.
"I'd love it too, but ......"
"I'm not here because of me."
Standt shrugged with a wry smile.
"What do you mean?"
Maika asked, frowning.
"2567 became the chief student."
Standt said.
"Well, it's inevitable."
In this regard, Maika did not have any surprises, with the strength shown by the other party, it would be a strange thing if he did not become the chief student.
But immediately, when Stalter told the rest of the news, Mika's eyes widened.
"The two of us became his deputies."
"What did you say?"
"I said, the two of us became his deputies, personally appointed by 2567"
"Why is this happening?"
"I guess it's because the two of us made an impression on him, or rather...... In the freshman, he 'knew' the two of us. ”
The wry smile on the corner of Salter's mouth became more and more bitter.
Becoming the deputy of the chief student is not a good thing for him who has a goal and a detailed plan.
Because, as everyone knows, the deputy of the chief student needs to spend a lot of time and energy to help the chief student complete the supervision and management of students of the whole age.
Once you become the deputy of the chief student, it means saying goodbye to all extracurricular activities.
Moreover, sometimes, it will become the existence of the black cauldron.
Of course, even so, there are still many ordinary students who are willing to take on this position.
After all, that represents a position under one person in the entire grade.
There are things like power and class, which are always sweet.
"Didn't you refuse?"
Maika asked rhetorically.
However, before the words were spoken, Maika saw Stalter, whose whole person was about to languish.
"I'd love to say no."
"But...... I don't dare. ”
"When I was staring at him, I felt like a frog about to be skinned, helpless and terrified."
Stalter said truthfully.
The deputy of the chief student can refuse this position, but the consequences of refusal also need to be borne by himself.
Clearly, Stalter did not think he could afford such consequences.
The same is true for Maika.
Even, in some ways, he had a deeper understanding of Qin Ran's horror, and now as soon as he closed his eyes, the shadow of the demon was roaring at him.
"Okay, I got it."
Maika nodded.
With that, Maika was leaving, he needed to rest now, and it was better to be able to eat something, and the rest of the rest would be after he had rested.
But before Maika could step away, Standt laughed bitterly again.
"What's wrong again?"
"You don't think I'm here to explain it all to you, do you?"
"What do you mean?"
Mika had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Your Excellency 2567, who has just become the chief student, has given us all the tasks of registering all new students, allocating rooms, and distributing school uniforms."
"Everyone has been waiting outside for a long time, but you haven't woken up yet, and I can't call the shots alone."
"To put it simply, you and I need to complete these things overnight, and if we can't do it, we will be punished by Lord 2567 for doing things badly."
Standt explained.
"How can this be?"
"I'm going to the student union to protest!"
Mika, who didn't know anything about Teorit, immediately shouted loudly, and then he saw the helpless Stalter again.
"What's wrong again?"
Maika's eyelids twitched, and his bad premonition reappeared.
"Teacher Seniore has just announced that he has recommended His Excellency 2567 to join the student union, so if you go to the student union to protest, the most likely result is to be directly punished."
"Trust me, the Teorit Student Council guys would definitely do that."
Standt told Mika another piece of news.
Suddenly, Maika's mouth opened wide and she was completely speechless.
When he heard that he had become the chief deputy, although Mika was surprised, the surprise was fleeting, but now Mika was really frightened.
Teorit Student Council!
No one knows what that place stands for better than Maika.
In fact, when he came to Teorit, Maika set himself up to join the student council in the fourth grade.
Even if it's just to be an ordinary member of it.
As for when you first enrolled?
He didn't want to die!
You know, there's ......
Hell!
Thinking of some rumors, Maika immediately shuddered.
Then, Mika thought of the demon's figure again, almost involuntarily, and Mika started some associations.
Don't......
With a hint of speculation in mind, Maika quickly straightened up and looked at Stalter seriously.
"Our job is to register all new students, assign rooms, distribute uniforms, etc., right?"
"Let's get started!"
"I can't wait to get to work."
Mika said and walked outside.
Looking at Maika, who had become diametrically opposed in an instant, Stalter was not surprised.
You know, it's Teorit's the student union!
People like him don't want to set foot there in their whole lives.
Because it's not just death there.
More often, life is better than death!
Call!
Taking a deep breath, Stalter shook his thoughts out of his mind and hurried towards Mika.
It's not him who goes there anyway.
And what is there to worry about.
As for whether 2567 is worried about this?
That's not something Stalter can care about.
However, in Stant's opinion, the other party must have been a little worried, even if he didn't show it.
……
Tastes good.
Although the food packed back from the freshman dinner does not have the special effect that can increase the source power, it is still quite good in terms of taste.
While leaning back in the chair, Qin Ran put a piece of cake decorated with strawberries into his mouth with his left hand, and on his right hand, it was a 'Chief Student Need'.
Some of the rights and obligations of the principal student are listed above.
Aside from the necessary responsibility of having to maintain the entire grade level and some innocuous regulations, the most attractive thing for Qin Ran was the extra 'bento' level food supply once a semester.
"Is it a 'bento' level?"
Qin Ran recalled the incomplete information he had collected after entering the dungeon world today, and sped up the eating speed of his supper, and when the last piece of cake disappeared, Qin Ran stood up and prepared to go to the library.
Teorit's library is open all day.
However, special proof is required to enter after dark.
Of course, Qin Ran, as the chief student, didn't need it.
A silver school emblem with a dinner plate on the surface, which was different from ordinary students, appeared in Qin Ran's hand.
[Name: Teorite School Emblem (Chief Student)]
[Category: Sundries]
[Quality: Magic]
【Attribute:Digestion】
[Special Effect: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: It is not only a proof of your chief student, but also an honor]
……
【Digestion: Speed up the digestion of food】
……
This was given to him by Seniore after he became the chief student.
A magic-level prop that is extremely rich in Teorrite's characteristics, Qin Ran did not refuse, he would not refuse any benefits that belonged to him, especially this kind of benefit with invisible benefits.
Most directly, he only needs to carry this school badge with him, and he does not need to wear it, so he can obtain the qualification of being exempted from wearing school uniforms and passing through several prohibited areas.
Just like at this moment, the guards on the campus not only immediately let him go after seeing the chief student emblem in Qin Ran's hand, but also bent down to salute to show their respect.
Under the watchful eyes of the guards, Qin Ran's figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Qin Ran did not leave Area E.
In every district of Teorite, there are libraries.
In fact, there are not only libraries, but also teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, canteens, and other school facilities in each district, as well as other facilities such as shopping malls and pedestrian streets, making each district feel like a small city.
However, at night, these places are closed.
Qin Ran, who was walking in the night, swept his gaze over the places that had fallen into darkness.
In his perception, these places shrouded in darkness more or less hide some inexplicable aura, and they are not the dangerous kind.
Instead, it's a defensive force field!
Coupled with the guards who had just patrolled, it was clear that Teorit at night was far less safe and calm than expected.
But these have nothing to do with Qin Ran for the time being.
He just wanted to get to the library as soon as possible and get the information he wanted.
According to the map in memory, he could reach the destination of the trip by turning the corner of the street in front of him.
Therefore, Qin Ran once again sped up.
But when Qin Ran turned the corner, he frowned.
In front of me is a four-story square building, except for the first floor gate, there is a row of 25 windows on each floor, and the windows are brightly lit and people shuttle.
Everything seems to be fine.
At most, it's a little conspicuous in the dark E area.
But when Qin Ran's gaze went up, he saw a pair of eyes!
A pair of squinted eyes.
Under the eyes is a towering valgus nose, and under the nose is the mouth......
It's a library!
That's right, the library!
The brightly lit, bustling library was the mouth of the huge, utterly shadowed monster!
To put it simply, entering the library is entering the mouth of a monster.
Qin Ran, who was frowning, stopped.
For Qin Ran, tasting food is a beautiful thing, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to send himself into the mouths of other creatures as food.
Tread, stomp.
Clear, undisguised footsteps rang out.
A figure walked from behind.
When the other party was turning the corner, he was startled by Qin Ran, who suddenly appeared in front of him, but then he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had thought of something.
"Isn't that a little surprised?"
The other asked, pointing to the library in the distance.
"Hmm."
Qin Ran nodded.
"Trust me, you're not the first to be so surprised, and you definitely won't be the last."
"When I first came here at night, I was so startled by the 'Administrator' that I almost fell to the ground."
"But trust me, the 'Administrator' is much gentler than you see, and if you're lucky, she'll explain the problem to you."
Facing Qin Ran, who nodded calmly, the other party laughed.
"You say she's an 'administrator'?"
Qin Ran asked.
"To be precise, she is the 'librarian' of District E, unlike the administrators of other districts."
"Of course, I'm not familiar with the administrators of the other districts."
"Do you need to be together?"
The other party corrected Qin Ran's words, and then directly issued an invitation.
Qin Ran thought for a moment and shook his head.
"No need."
Qin Ran said, and he was about to leave, while the other party shrugged his shoulders.
"It's a shame."
The other party said this, as if he was going to go alone, but the next moment, when Qin Ran passed by, the other party raised his hand and was about to grab Qin Ran's shoulder.
But just when the other party raised his hand, the other party suddenly discovered that Qin Ran's palm had grabbed his neck and collar for some time.
The other party's face changed.
"I think ......"
The other party subconsciously wanted to explain, but before the words could be spoken, his body flew out like a cloud, like a javelin being thrown, and slammed into the 'library'.
Click!
The door to the 'library' shattered immediately.
The shattering of the library's exterior walls, windows, and lights followed.
It was as if it had been broken, revealing the fine fangs hidden behind the mirror.
Crunch.
With a slight chewing sound, the person who was thrown into it was crushed to pieces.
After waiting for most of the night, there was finally no monster returning empty-handed, and he hummed with satisfaction, and planned to leave.
Although it saw Qin Ran, it knew that no one would care about it if it occasionally ate a small snack that 'crashed' into its mouth, but if it really took the initiative to eat it, it would be in big trouble.
However, just as it turned around, it suddenly heard a sound of swallowing saliva.
The sound was like some horror in its memory.
Immediately, though, it shook its massive head to throw the ridiculous thought out of its head.
"How could those horrible guys appear in Theoritri, I must have thought too much...... Hiss, hiss! It hurts, it hurts! Relent! Relent! ”
