I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City - Chapter 49



49 – The Golden Age (4)

Go back in time a bit.

One day, a week before the entrance exam.

Carmella Ashporn was sitting in an atmospheric cafe looking outside her.

“Hehe~♪”

Carmella enjoys the scenery while pouring sugar into a coffee cup placed on the table.

The unique elegant atmosphere naturally caught the attention of the people around.

How long has it been like that?

With my daughter-

A clear bell rang and a cute beauty entered the cafe.

The beauty with her unusual platinum-haired hair looked around her for a moment and she spotted Carmella and she was radiant.

“Carmella!”

“Welcome, Noah.”

“Sorry, did you wait too long?”

“No, I’m just here. So please order first.”

“Yes! Please wait!”

The employee, who was watching the scene of the two gorgeous women having a conversation, realized that he was a man, not a woman, after seeing Noah up close.

To be precise, I should say that he is a man who is infinitely closer to a beauty.

“…….”

“Hey?”

“Ah, yes! Lord, the order has been received!”

After a while, the employee who had been making a stupid expression suddenly came to his senses at Noah’s call, and only then did Noah order as if he was relieved.

With a fresh cookie frappe in hand, Noah returned to Carmella with a happy smile as everyone around her rubbed her eyes.

Soon Noah sat down with a naive smile.

“Ehehe, long time no see Carmella.”

“It’s been a while, Noah.”

‘He still looks like a small dog.’

Although she has a very feminine appearance, she is small and looks like a small puppy doing cute things.

If it had a tail, it would definitely be wagging.

Carmella took Noah’s words with a thought in the corner of her head.

“Anyway, I was surprised. I called in anger, but I didn’t know you would come.”

“Hehe, it’s none other than Camel. You should definitely come.”

At Noah’s almost immediate answer, Carmella gave a surprised expression for a moment, but quickly softened her expression.

“It must have been difficult since the exam was just around the corner, but thank you very much.”

I was sincere.

Unlike Carmella, who has been educated by the elite of the royal family since childhood, Noah must have received a mediocre education from an insignificant family.

Besides, if the target of admission was Slane Academy like himself, he wouldn’t have wasted his time.

However, you gave up your time right before an important exam.

With that alone, Carmella was deeply grateful to Noah.

It was then.

Watching Carmella touch her cup of coffee, Noah suddenly put on a serious expression.

“Actually, the reason I met Carmella was to ask you a favor.”

“…A favor?”

Carmella’s expression hardened for a moment at the unexpected words.

“Yes, I hope you will listen to me seriously.”

“…Tell me first.”

The story of Noah that started like that was just a very absurd story to her.

‘There is a terrorist attack in Academy City? That’s also in the top 3 academy, SKY?’

Carmella can’t easily open her mouth to the words she can’t believe.

“I know it’s unbelievable. But please believe me. A bad demon is targeting Academy City! So, I hope that Camel will also come along with me to tell the truth…!”

“Wait, wait.”

At his exuberant words, Carmella hurriedly stopped him.

It was hard to believe, but it would be difficult to dismiss it as nonsense as long as he insisted so earnestly.

“Evidence, is there evidence? If there is solid evidence, you’d better entrust it to the leader rather than me.”

“That’s true…”

“Yes? No evidence?”

After hearing Noah’s words, his worried expression instantly absorbed a cold chill.

“……Noah.”

“I’m not kidding! Trust me, there’s no proof, but it’s real!”

“Wait! I got it! I got it, calm down!”

When Noah, who had been showing a furious reaction, got up from his chair, the eyes of the people around him instantly focused on this direction.

Feeling embarrassed by such a situation, Carmella hurriedly calms Noah down, and only then does he sit down.

“It’s true Carmella. Trust me just once.”

“…Haa. I get it first. I’ll look for signs of terrorism in my own way.”

In the end, Carmella regretted that answer.

‘If I had known this would be the case, we wouldn’t have met in person…….’

He was so seduced by the rumor that he had applied for Slaine, so he acted too hastily.

Taking Noah’s assessment down a notch in her mind, Carmella continued.

“There is nothing confirmed about terrorism yet, so let’s postpone it. Even if we tell the cadets without proof, they won’t believe it. It’s okay to move even after securing clear evidence.”

“But…!”

“I know time is running out, but this place is not so forgiving. It’s a place that has the potential to defend itself against unexpected surprise attacks.”

“Hmm… Okay, I’ll keep moving.”

Thinking she should order her squire, Paul, to investigate her, Carmella said that and raised her coffee cup.

“Actually, the reason I asked to meet Noah today was to make a suggestion.”

“A suggestion…?”

Noah made a surprised expression at the unexpected words.

“Let me ask you to confirm, Noah, are you also taking the Slaine Academy exam?”

“That’s right.”

When asked how she knew, Carmella smiled lightly and smiled deep inside.

‘As Paul said.’

How surprised she was when she heard that Noah was staring at her slane.

To think that he, who was only a failing student, applied for Slaine, the highest score among G1.

It was information that was not easily believed.

Thanks to her transfer ceremony, Carmella, who was making connections with her rookies, immediately raised Noah’s importance to the highest level.

The interest of the student body president.

A person involved in the mana runaway incident.

Up to Slaine’s scout.

He is a talented person who deserves attention even if he only has one thing, but he was a person who included not two, but three.

Of course, he hadn’t entered the school yet, but he was a talented person worth noting just for the fact that he was qualified to take the exam.

Also, after hearing the news of her Noah, Carmella became even more convinced of her own thoughts.

‘As expected, Noah has a hidden secret. Otherwise, there’s no way he, who struggled even during the transfer ceremony, could be tested by Slaine.’

There was an achievement that solved the runaway magic, but is it possible to step on the door of Slaine with only that?

She was Carmella thinking in her head, but she shook her head.

‘Impossible. Slaine is a place where only a handful of geniuses set foot on the continent. No matter how much I prevented the runaway, I can’t qualify with just that.’

Even the crucial part was handled by the student council president.

It was her judgment that Slaine couldn’t step out with just that alone, unless she handled the runaway completely alone.

However, it was the same that Noah’s unexpected news ruined her plans.

It was for this reason that he met Noah in person, leaving behind the executor and her candidate for sainthood, who were working under the water right now.

She closed her eyes for a moment and chose her words, then opened her eyes and smiled at the sight of Noah.

‘Are you naive or stupid?’

Without even thinking about Carmella’s thoughts, Noah was smiling happily as he tasted her cookie frappe.

“Noah, do you know how Slaine’s test goes?”

“Uh…Wouldn’t it be just a combination of written and practical skills to select new students?”

“No.”

Noah opened his mouth slightly at the firm answer.

“Like Noah said, G2 or lower schools will take the test with the combined score of written and practical skills, but G1 is different.”

As it is the top-ranked academy among all academies, each G1 conducts the test in a special way.

“Among them, Slane, which we will take the exam for, is famous for determining students through pure practical skills without writing.”

“Really?”

“Yeah….Rather than that, didn’t the scout who scouted you tell you?”

Carmella couldn’t stand it and asked, looking as if she didn’t know anything.

“Hehe, the scouter didn’t explain it too long because he was in the hospital. He said he would explain it properly when he contacted me later, but he’s been busy lately…”

Carmella let out a big sigh as he scratched her head and grinned.

“Haa… I don’t know how busy I was that I forgot that important thing. I recommend listening to him for a detailed explanation later.”

Does it make sense that aspiring students don’t even know the information about the school they want to enter?

Carmella grabbed her throbbing head with one hand.

‘Did I overestimate it?’

Carmella wonders if she should finally reduce her importance to Noah.

At Carmella’s reaction, Noah, who was wiggling her fingers, gave a puzzled laugh.

“Thanks, Carmella.”

“…Anyway. Slaine’s exams are made of pure practical skills. In particular, the contents of practical skills change every year, but all of them are of such high quality that aspirants usually form a team in advance to raise the pass rate. Answer.”

“Huh? It’s a test though, can we form a team in advance?”

“The Slaine side doesn’t particularly restrain him. Well, of course, actions in a direct way such as match fixing are restrained, but on the other hand, Slaine doesn’t care if it’s not a direct method like that.”

“Umm… But then, wouldn’t even a person with insufficient skills be buried by others?”

Is that correct?

Noah, tilting her head and expressing her doubts, paid attention to what Carmella said after her.

“Noah, there is no one who lacks skills among the people who enter Slaine.”

“Uh…”

“All aspirants who applied for admission to Slane, including you, are jewels picked and picked from the continent.”

That’s why the academy doesn’t stop even talented people on the bus.

“But some people can be exceptionally good.”

Aren’t the president and young king, typically called the golden generation, overwhelmingly outstanding students?

Noah thought that no matter how talented the students aspiring to be in Slaine would not be as good as them, he made eye contact with Carmella and waited for her words.

“Certainly. There are students who are exceptionally stronger than other students. There are famous rookies among us right now.”

This is the case with the Executioner and the Princess.

In particular, in the case of the executive officer, unlike the princess, who has already formed a group, she has no clear power, so there are many students who want to be buried by him and carried on her back.

“And rookies like that are actually receiving love calls from many students.”

Of course, it’s difficult to form a team with too many people, so the academy will adjust it appropriately.

Still, according to the information, it seems to tolerate up to 4 people, so rookies like the Executioner will unconditionally appear in a party of 4 people.

“Then…!”

“But even that is acceptable to Slaine.”

“…What?”

“Slaine’s admission standards are a bit different from other academies.”

They do not use students’ skills as a criterion for admission.

This is because all the students who want to enter the school have outstanding skills.

That’s why the instructors there raised the level even higher to improve discrimination.

Cope with unexpected situations.

Responding in extreme situations.

The unexpectedness of breaking through trials in a creative way.

Finally, even the mindset to challenge the impossible.

We decide on admissions by comprehensively observing and judging everything.

And among them, luck was also included as a factor……

“You just have to pass the test no matter what. If you’re lucky enough to be on the back of a strong person, that’s also a skill.”

“…Really?”

“Indeed, the king of the past passed the exam by defeating the instructor who gave it.”

“…….”

Noah was speechless at Carmella’s monotonous words.

“It was because there was no examiner to administer the test.”

“…Huh.”

“The academy said it was creative and gave it extra points.”

“…….”

“They couldn’t help it as the new test tubes were knocked down.”

It’s almost like a natural disaster.

“If you add the other Golden Generations, it’s more, but not less. Right away, the President of the General Academy also killed them alive when they were told to capture the Witchbeast.”

Well, I said that, but to be honest, you have to look at them separately.

No matter how hard it is, destroying the framework itself is an impossible method unless you are an overwhelmingly strong person.

‘That guy who took down a lot of excellent instructors, and the chairman who pushed down a mountain to catch the beast. Not everyone is normal.’

Maybe this rider won’t be able to use the same method as the golden generation.

There are rookies, but they are not as overwhelming as they are.

So we have no choice but to take on the challenge with our own way.

“Anyway, that’s the story. Slaine tends to focus a little more on coping with situations than sheer brute force. That’s why he doesn’t really care about the students teaming up.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to deal with it if people who are in harmony with each other get together?”

“That’s right, and besides, if you team up, the opponent will be more creative in dealing with it.”

Noah put his hand on his chin and nodded, then straightened his back and looked at Carmella.

“I get it roughly. So, the intention of saying this is because you want something from me, right?”

At the same time, Carmella raised a deep smile.

“I’ll be honest. Noah, team up with me.”
