Chapter 25 Assumption of office
The next morning was a history of magic class, exactly as Kenneth had imagined, and Professor Druux was a very slow talker, and the whole three-hour class was stunned by his nine-hour class, and when the bell rang on the top floor to signal the end of class, the freshmen cheered in unison.
While the others were hugging for lunch in the cafeteria, Kenneth was woken up by Mick and walked on his way to the fourth-grade district.
The student area at Lutheran School of Magic is not fixed, but rotates from year to year. For example, this year's first-grade district where Kenneth is located is actually last year's fourth-grade district, and today's fourth-grade district is south of the first-grade district.
As Kenneth and Mick pass by the Lutheran Tower, they still have to marvel at the beauty of its architecture, which looks like the holiest thing in the world, and the slightly shiny sapphires at the top add a soft glow. It's a pity that the two of them can't enter one of them to find out.
In fact, the difference between the grade districts is not very big, and after some inquiry, the two came to the door of the fourth-grade student activity hall, the Hanna Pavilion.
The Hanna Pavilion is a modern, four-story mansion building. The vestibule was a fountain of a dragon statue, Kenneth and Mick glanced at it curiously, and then walked around the fountain to the main entrance, but saw a beautiful black-haired girl with a capable appearance standing outside the main entrance of the mansion, aged about seventeen, dressed in a simple but elegant silk shirt, with a short skirt over the knee, and black eyes swept over Kenneth and Mick before speaking: "I am Maddie, the secretary of the student union, are the two Kenneth and Mick?" "The sound is quite relaxing.
Kenneth glanced at Mick, who nodded, "We're here to find President Clare." β
Maddie nodded, then stretched out her hand into the room to make a "please enter" gesture, and said, "The president is worried that the two of you can't find the way, so I specially asked me to lead the way for the two." This side please. β
"Okay." After the two of them finished speaking, they followed Maddie into the building, followed the central staircase to the fourth floor, and stopped in front of an extraordinarily elaborate door.
"Please come in, the president will be waiting for you inside." Maddie pushed the door open and stood aside, leaning over slightly to the two of them.
Kenneth and Mick were a little nervous for some reason, and after looking at each other, they walked into it and saw a rather old round table, behind which was a large desk, and behind the table sat with his back to the door, it was the student council president, Claire. On either side of the round table were two rows of bookshelves, on which not only magic books, but also many trophies, and even many weapons, such as a broad-bladed heavy sword about two meters long that Kenneth could see at a glance. Behind Klar is a hanging flag of the Luther School of Magic, and on the wall is a huge map of the entire territory of the Theo Empire, especially the four sacred mountains that completely surround the Empire. At this time, Claire turned his back to Kenneth and Mick, and his eyes seemed to fall on the southernmost area of Andva, and he didn't know what to think about, and he didn't realize that someone had walked into the office.
When Kenneth and Mick walked into Clare's office, Maddie slowly closed the door and then quietly walked behind Claire and stood still, leaning down and saying to Clark, "President, Kenneth and Mick have arrived. β
"Good work, Maddie," Claire turned her chair and looked at Kenneth and Mick flatly, "You two are here?" Come and sit down, don't be stupid and stand there. β
Kenneth and Mick didn't dare to procrastinate, and hurried over to Claire's desk and sat down.
"Maddie, give him the key." Claire gestured to the black-haired girl with her eyes, and then said to the two, "This is the key to the Jones Pavilion, which is the key to Room 208 on the second floor of your first-year activity hall, which is temporarily the office of the Student Union Security Department. At the moment your main task is to patrol at 26:27 p.m. and stay in the office from 20 to 22 p.m. to receive requests for help from students. If you are able to make some objective grades, I will decide whether or not to let you leave the student council according to your wishes. Still have questions? β
Kenneth took the key from Maddie and asked, "President, doesn't our ministry have activity funds?" β
Claire's eyes swept over Kenneth coldly and said, "What are you asking?" β
Kenneth was shocked by Claire's momentum, and suddenly felt that he was a head shorter, and his tongue seemed to be knotted: "It's, that's, that, I, our department, that, no, that, what?" As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together.
"Huh?" Krar remained expressionless.
"Kenneth, because the Ministry of Security has just been established, it is not included in this month's budget, and there will be no departmental funds released this month." Maddie, who was behind Clare, saw what Kenneth wanted to ask and replied kindly.
Claire glanced at Maddie and saw that the latter just stuck out his tongue, shook his head, and said to Kenneth, "Do you know what punishment is?" β
"It's free labor......," Kenneth said with a bitter face.
Claire snorted coldly, "It's good to know." Still have questions? β
"Well, President, do you know who instructed those three seniors to bully us yesterday afternoon?" Mick hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
"Check it out for yourself. If nothing else, you can leave. Clair ordered the two to be evicted.
Kenneth smiled helplessly at Mick, who was reluctant but to give up and leave the president's office with Kenneth.
Maddie saw the two of them walk out, tilted her head to look at Claire and said, "You seem to value that kid named Kenneth very much." β
"......" Clal was silent, turned away, and continued to look at the map on the wall.
"Is it because of his talent? After all, I was an exception to school like you, but I don't look smart......" Maddie said with a nod to her lower lip.
"Maddie, too much curiosity will only bring disaster to yourself." Claire glanced at Maddie and said calmly.
Maddie, on the other hand, looked at Claire and pouted seriously, "Meeting you is already the biggest disaster in my life." β
"Then why are you so persistent?" Krar's gaze was still on a certain part of the map.
"Because this girl likes to face difficulties." Maddie said with a soft glint in her eyes.
Claire was silent for a moment, then said to Maddie, "...... Go and call Norman, I have something to tell him. β
"Okay." Maddie instantly returned to her usual capable appearance, nodded and walked out of Clare's office.
And Caral silently stroked the huge scar on the right side of his face, and said softly: "Time is running out......"
ββββββββββ
said that Kenneth shook the key in his hand and went to the Jones Pavilion with Mick, and on the way, he met the three seniors again, but at this time the three of them were each tied with different bandages, especially the tall and thin man who was the most miserable, with bandages around his head, neck and waist, quite like the legendary undead zombies.
As soon as the three men saw Kenneth, they turned around and tried to run away like a mouse to a cat, and Kenneth shouted loudly, "Stop! Where to run?! β
The three of them really didn't dare to run when they heard this, after all, they had already seen Kenneth's fierce fighting ability, and knew that they couldn't outrun him, so they had to obediently stand in place and wait for Kenneth to approach.
"Count the three of you acquaintances!" Kenneth was satisfied, and walked over to the three of them with Mick.
"What do you want to do? This is the Academy, not a place for you to come around! The tall, thin man pretended to be calm.
"Now you know you're scared? Wasn't it quite angry when he came to trouble us at that time? Kenneth teased maliciously with his teeth bared.
"We've all been kicked out of the student council by the president, what do you want?" The tall and thin man also knew that the three of them together were no match for Kenneth, and said with hatred in his heart: If it weren't for the fact that magic could not be used in the academy......
"We want to know, who is it that is causing you three to trouble us? There's no need to lie, the president has already told us, but I just want to check with you. Mick said to the three.
The tall and thin man was stunned for a moment, and then raised a smug smile and said, "Oh~ I know, do you know that Rickon Luther let us teach you a lesson and was scared?" Haha, I'm telling you, it's late! Even if you plead with me, I will never say a good word for you in front of Ricken! β
Faced with the smug appearance of the tall and thin man, Kenneth was just stunned, and then asked, "Who is Rickon Luther?" β
"Y-Are you playing dumb? I see, you've regretted it, haven't you? Do you want to deliberately pretend to be stupid and ask for our forgiveness? Don't be naΓ―ve! The humiliation you have brought us, Rickon will help us pay you back! Ha ha! After saying that, he laughed and left.
Kenneth looked at the three of them as if they were madmen and left with a smile, then turned to Mick and said, "Mick, did I beat them up?" β
At this time, Mick's face was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but smile after hearing Kenneth's words: "Kenny, they're not stupid. Being able to get on Rickon Luther's thigh, even if it takes you a beating, it's worth it. β
Kenneth scratched his scalp and asked, "So who the hell is this Rickon Luther?" β
Mick propped his forehead and said, "It's the boy you hit that night." β
Kenneth reacted to Mick's reminder and said strangely, "That guy doesn't look like a bad guy...... So is his origin big? β
"Haven't you reacted even if you heard his last name?" Mick was speechless.
Luther ...... Oh~ He's the son of Count Luther? Kenneth finally reacted.
"No, it's grandson." Mick looked a little strange.
Kenneth said reassuringly, "Isn't it the grandson of Lord Earl...... So what's there to care about? β
"Of course you don't care, you're a hero of the future, but I can't care!" Mick blurted out.
Kenneth looked at Mick and said, "Mick, what's wrong with you?" β
Mick was also stunned, shook his head and said, "No, it's okay." Kenneth, go to the office by yourself. I was a little tired, so I went back to the dorm first. With that, he walked away, leaving Kenneth alone in a daze, not knowing what he had said wrong.
