Chapter 103: Wait and see
Claire snorted lightly, glanced at the people who had lowered their heads because of their weak hearts, and continued, "This is only the first thing, and there is also about the Order of the Phoenix, and we can't make any inappropriate remarks or actions against the Order of the Phoenix. β
The ministers silently exchanged glances, and then William asked Clare on behalf of the group, "President, what do you mean?" β
Clair said calmly, "That's what the headmaster meant. β
Everyone was shocked, and then showed confusion and anger, and Vanessa said unconvinced: "Just because that little ghost named Rickon is the heir of the Luther family?" The principal is too partial, isn't he?! β
However, Clair shook his head and said, "This is not what the headmaster meant, but what the upper echelons of the academy meant. There was a rare flash of anger in his eyes. Maddie, who accompanied Clal to meet the principal, also had an annoyed look on her face.
"The upper echelons of the academy?" Vanessa wondered.
"I don't know the specific situation, but it roughly means that the top management of the academy is dissatisfied with the inaction of the student union, and hopes that we can cultivate talents for the fight against demons, instead of helping the Magicians Association expand its strength." Claire suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a deep voice.
Most of the ministers present are quick-minded people, and Xiut immediately understood the meaning of Krall's words, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "It seems that the high-level thinks that the academy's reward for them is not enough." β
When Hut said this, all the ministers except for the absent-minded Kenneth nodded thoughtfully, and William took Hutter's words and continued: "In other words, the higher echelons of the academy are not so much dissatisfied with our inaction as they are dissatisfied with us being too out of their control. β
Claire nodded slowly, and said coldly: "Since the establishment of the student union, it has become an independent college leadership organization, but sixty percent of the budget depends on the funds allocated by the college, which means that we spend the money of the college leaders but do not help them do things, and they will naturally be dissatisfied." However, there was no organization that could stand up to us before, so they had nowhere to start. Now that Rickon's Order of the Phoenix has appeared, it has naturally become a tool they use to suppress us, and I even suspect that Rickon has received their covert financial backing. Therefore, now they forbid us to suppress the Order of the Phoenix, and when the Order of the Phoenix has become a climate, we will face a difficult situation whether we win or lose, and their wish will naturally be fulfilled at that time. β
"So what are we going to do, President?" William looked at Claire, now everyone knows that the student union is about to face a dilemma, and at this time, the only person who can stand up and preside over the overall situation is Claire.
The other student council ministers also cast unconditional trust in Krar's eyes.
And Claire's face was still the same calm as usual, only to see Claire calmly said: "It's very simple, we don't have to do anything, just do things as usual." β
Many ministers frowned suspiciously, and after pondering for a moment, Shut's brows relaxed, and he nodded at Clal and said, "President, I understand." β
And William suddenly said relaxedly: "President, I also understand." β
Vanessa frowned, looked at William and said, "IβI don't understand, is there any difference?" β
"Hmph, I knew that your nutrition had grown to your chest, and you didn't have any brains at all." But it was Maddie behind Claire who laughed at Vanessa.
"Cut, it's also better than someone's plain!" Vanessa proudly straightened up the fullness of her chest when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth raised a sneer.
"What did you say?!" Maddie gritted her teeth and said, although her figure is indeed inferior to Vanessa, but she also has a C cup, where is the plain?!
Claire frowned, glanced at Vanessa and Maddie and said, "Quiet! The two women were so frightened that they immediately closed their mouths, but the battle between their eyes became more and more intense.
The other ministers were also surprised by the scene in front of them, who made their own president unstoppable?
William shook his head helplessly, and then explained: "I think the president should mean that we don't need to care about the current threat posed to us by the Phoenix Society, after all, it is still only an interest society that is not under our jurisdiction, and if we mess with ourselves, it will backfire." β
"And what if Rickon makes another move on to another gym?" Vanessa frowned.
Maddie scoffed unceremoniously, "Then he's just as stupid as you!" If he is willing to rent another activity hall that is useless to him and save us a budget of 20,000 gold coins, it is too late for us to be happy, how can we stop it? β
Vanessa's eyes jumped in anger, but she could only admit that Maddie was not wrong at all.
"Also, the so-called Order of the Phoenix has not yet been able to see what its true purpose is, if it is really to fight against demons as that Rickon said, then it is the responsibility of magicians, why should we stop them? If it's just a faΓ§ade, then it's going to be self-defeating, so why do we need to do it? That's what you mean, supposed, supplied, supplied, right? Shut added, his eyes showing adoration for Claire's wisdom.
And Kenneth, who has been wandering in the sky, said silently in his heart: The boss deserves to be the boss, how can he say that he has done everything like he has done everything?
After William and Shut's explanation, the rest of the ministers also understood, and let out a sudden sigh of enlightenment, and the uneasiness in their hearts suddenly dissipated.
Seeing that everyone was no longer with the solemn looks they had before, Claire crossed his fingers on the table and continued: "Although the Order of the Phoenix is a tool for the top management of the academy to put pressure on the student union, it will not tear the skin of the face after all, but there may be a lot of small actions. The reason why they have called you here is to remind you that if you face the provocation of the Order of the Phoenix, you don't need to ignore it, just do your part. Since the student council is still under my management, no one can mess with it. β
"Yes, President!" Everyone's eyes showed determination, and their tones were firm.
"Very well, then you guys go back first, Wade and Rex and you two will move to the Hanna Pavilion next month. And, Kenneth, you stay. β
The two male ministers, sitting on the left side with unwilling faces, nodded, and then walked out of the president's office with the others, but they were still a little curious about what the president wanted to talk to Kenneth alone.
Kenneth, who had already planned to slip away, saw that Claire asked him to stay by name, so he walked to Claire with his head down and sat down, and said weakly: "Boss, you are trying to kill me......"
Claire looked at Kenneth without sympathy and said, "You think I'm trying to hurt you by making you the student council president?" There was a coldness in his eyes.
Kenneth dared to pretend to be garlic in front of Claire, and hurriedly cheered up and flattered: "Of course not, of course not, that's the boss, your trust in me!" β
Maddie, who was standing behind Claire, couldn't help but smile when she saw Kenneth looking like this, and said to Kenneth: "Junior brother, he is not ~usual~ optimistic about you~"
Kenneth tugged at the corners of his mouth, met Clal's gaze and said gratefully, "Thank you boss for being optimistic, thank you boss for being optimistic." So boss, what are you trying to tell me when you left me behind? β
Ignoring Kenneth's flattering tone, Clair said bluntly, "How many people do you have in the security department now?" β
Kenneth thought for a moment and counted with his fingers, "I, Mick, Ming, plus Marcas, four in total." β
"Looks like all but Mick are restless masters......" Claire thought for a moment and continued, "Now your job is only to be on duty and patrolling, right?" That seems too cheap for you. β
As soon as Kenneth heard this, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately begged for mercy with a sad face: "Boss, although I have made a mistake and have been punished by you, you can't oppress me like this, right?" β
"Don't act in front of me, do you want me to be a little more ruthless?" Claire said with a grim face.
So Kenneth hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Boss, you just command!" β
"It's a bit of a minister," Clar said, glancing at Kenneth, "I'm going to give you the task of preparing your ministry to respond immediately in the event of an emergency, and to wait for my orders. No prior action is permitted. β
Kenneth was a little confused after hearing this, and confirmed to Clark, "Boss, you mean that you want me to be on standby to deal with emergencies at any time?" β
"I mean, you're not allowed to do anything without my orders." Claire added expressionlessly.
"Haha, boss, when did I act on my own......" Kenneth said weakly.
"You know it in your own heart. Next is another task that I will give you, your security department is now responsible for not only the security affairs within the Academy, but also must be responsible for solving the requests for help received by the Academy. β
Kenneth once again had a question mark on his head: "Help-seeking mission?" What is that? β
But it was Maddie who explained to Kenneth, "As Derrakley's No. 1 School of Magic, of course our academy receives a lot of requests for help, many of which are paid a lot of money. Most of these tasks will be handled by our student council, and if the risk is too high, the college will come forward to solve it. Originally, these tasks were handed over to various departments according to the nature of the work, but now there are more and more tasks, and it is too troublesome to do so, so I want to hand them over to one department for processing. β
Kenneth's face suddenly fell, and he pointed to himself and said, "It can't be our security department, right?" β
"Congratulations, you got it right!" Maddie said with a smile and a nod.
"You don't have much to do anyway, this kind of errand work is just right for you. Don't talk nonsense, I'll have all the mission letters delivered to your office, and by the way, your office will have to be moved here. If I miss my date, you know what I'll do, right? Clair said coldly as she looked at Kenneth.
Since Claire had said this, what else could Kenneth do, so he replied with a dry smile, "Okay, okay...... But Boss, I still have to go to class......"
"Then do it when you don't have classes. If you understand, go out. Clair said mercilessly.
"Yes...... The boss ...... Kenneth got up, said hello listlessly, and left the president's office, his mind full of imagination of the hectic life that followed.
Unbeknownst to Kenneth, however, that the work was originally handled by the Secretariat, and that Krall's move was clearly done with ulterior motives.
Maddie, who knew this, looked at Claire, who was in a pensive state, and smiled and said to Claire's thoughts: "Do you want Kenneth to contact those ministers so that they can get their approval?" β
Claire just let out a cold snort, "It's just as punishment for me to clean up the mess for him." β
Maddie looked at the rare childish Claire and couldn't help but laugh, and then wondered, "What kind of mess?" β
Claire looked away and said, "It's nothing, what's the next itinerary?" β
Maddie took out the small notebook in her arms and opened it, and confirmed, "Hmm...... It's a meeting with Rickon Luther, who is waiting for you in the open-air restaurant on the top floor of the Freer Hotel. β
"Let's go, then." Claire stood up, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Old guys, since you were the first to strike, don't regret it!
