I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City - Chapter 50
50 – Witch Beast (1)
“Whoa.”
Check the equipment carefully.
Wears armor that has been painstakingly groomed and wears a white cloak over it.
Finally, put on boots that have been polished overnight.
“Good.”
When I stood in front of the mirror, there was a brave warrior.
“Hee hee, white is really pretty.”
As I turned around and looked around at the white armor, I smiled in satisfaction.
“I was a little anxious because it was given by the system. This is enough to use.”
【Starting set for novice warriors】
Commonly referred to as the Newbie Set, this equipment was obtained from the Beginner Starter Pack.
It was a gift from a very dubious system, so I had no intention of receiving it.
As a result of the persistent recommendation of the president, I decided to receive the gift like this.
At first, I was more worried than I expected, but since I received this kind of equipment, I am the president.
He must have expected this to happen and recommended it to me.
“Whoops.”
As I was examining my armor, I tidied up my clothes and put on the clunky sword placed in one corner of my field of vision on my waist.
“I’ll give you a weapon, too.”
The only thing the system provided was armor, so the weapon was a cheap sword brought from home.
Thanks to that, I became very different from the all-white outfit.
I left the house feeling a little regretful.
───
The streets of the city were very busy from morning.
The sound of searching for a wagon resonates everywhere, and the whistle of the driver controlling traffic on the road disturbs your ears.
“As expected, the atmosphere is sharp because it is exam day.”
Today is the exam day for the high school and college divisions.
The elementary and middle school exams are not unimportant, but I felt the tension around me so dense that I felt sorry to compare them.
“Let’s see the road…”
After looking around, I opened the map I had received from scouter Rachel and started to find my way.
“Oh, it’s a carriage.”
I wonder if it is one of SKY?
Following the map, I headed to the wagon stop, and a wagon with a nice appearance was waiting.
‘Is this all like going to an academy?’
Each of the waiting wagons had patterns and initials representing the academy engraved on the sides, but considering that these were trains bound for G1, they certainly looked different from ordinary wagons.
I inspected the distinctive wagons near the station, and immediately walked over to the black and yellow wagon.
“Welcome!”
The coachman of the wagon was a woman who seemed surprisingly not old.
Isn’t the G1 not just an ordinary coachman?
Under the loose-fitting clothes, you can see a muscular body that shows that it has been trained repeatedly.
“Hey…Is this the carriage to Slaine Academy?”
“That’s right! Could you show me your exam pass?”
“Wait a minute!”
Mr. Rachel took care of it for me.
After rummaging around for a while, I took out my test certificate from my pants pocket and held it out.
“Let’s see. Yes! You are an examinee from Slaine Academy! Please wait inside for a moment!”
“Yes, yes!”
Following the coachman’s guidance, I went into the wagon and found several students who were not visible from the outside.
“Huh? Space magic?”
At a glance, the inside seemed much wider than the outside. When I asked that question, the coachman nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, with the help of Slaine, our wagon has a space expansion magic cast inside.”
“Wow…”
“It’s hard to transport all the test takers without a wagon like this. The commercial district and the academic district are on opposite sides, so going back and forth isn’t that easy. Even if there’s only one wagon, the number of test takers is a number.”
Listening to the coachman’s words, I went inside the carriage.
“Then, we will leave after waiting for a while. Please wait until then.”
“Yes!”
It seems that he is planning to start with a few more students.
Well, the academic district 1, where Slane is located, and the commercial district, where the accommodation is located, are in opposite directions.
Then you could tell them to get accommodation in the study district from the start, but unfortunately, the students who didn’t get admitted are prohibited from staying in the study district until they pass the exam.
That’s why most of the test takers naturally flock to the commercial district, and as they move the test takers one by one, the wagon stop was formed like this.
‘Well, there are portals, but they’re too expensive.’
It is said that there is a portal that can be easily moved to each district, but it is expensive and difficult to use unless you make a reservation in advance.
Maybe the rumored princess should use it?
“Okay! Let’s go!”
At that time, the wagon that had filled the entire yard began to move smoothly.
.
.
.
As I was observing the surroundings while surrendering to the slight shaking, I suddenly noticed the students around me.
“…A bear?”
The man in front of me was so big that I could just mumble that without thinking.
A tall man with his arms folded and his head bowed.
Are you a little older than me?
I could feel the traces of hard training all over my body.
Especially, his hands were covered with scars, but rather than feeling ugly, he only felt great.
‘The skin has been torn and regenerated. Is it a martial artist?’
“…….”
“…Oh!”
As I was thinking that in my head, at some point my eyes met with the man who had opened his eyes.
“Me, that. How are you?”
“…….”
“Are you also staring at Slane?”
“…….”
“The atmosphere you feel is quite old-fashioned. Are you a former mercenary or a knight?”
“…….”
If you see her eyes open, she probably isn’t sleeping.
In spite of numerous questions, the bear-like man did not open his mouth until the end.
“Did you enter Slane as a college student?”
“…….”
“That, that…”
In the end, I gave up listening to the answer and looked away.
“Slaine does not have a high school or university department.”
“Oh!”
A profound voice pierced my ears.
“There are no high school and college divisions? But there are other academies, right?”
“Basically, even G2 follows the normal student system. Among G1, there may be academies that follow it, but Slaine is different.”
“Uh uh…”
Come to think of it, it seems like what Rachel explained…….
“It’s natural since it bears the name of the academy. It has the authority to make all the regulations of the academy.”
Slaine, the only academy permitted among many academies, is more free from regulation than any other academy.
After saying that, the man crossed her arms again and turned to her.
“That’s why Slaine is a prestigious academy. And now is a precious time just before challenging such an academy.”
──I hope you don’t interfere.
The man who uttered that, closed her eyes before long.
───
A short time has passed.
The carriage stopped in front of a huge academy.
“We’ve arrived! Everyone, take care of your belongings and disembark!”
At the call of the coachman, the students took their equipment and left the wagon.
The bear-like man nearby also disappeared before the coachman finished speaking.
“I have to get off too!”
After staring blankly at the people for a while, I also grabbed my sword and got out of the carriage at the coachman’s words.
Then, the building in front caught my attention.
“This is Slane Academy…!”
The yellow and black buildings were properly mixed, and it seemed to feel a sense of oppression just by itself.
A building with a unique exterior, more like a piece of art than a building, was looking down at us with Slaine’s name engraved on its head.
“Pretty!”
It is a very stylish building.
I was looking at the building with twinkling eyes, but I turned around when I heard a noise nearby.
“I’m looking for one deal! There are two dealers and one tank! Please tell me only the transfer ranking!”
“I’m looking for an Elementalist! One swordsman and two wizards! No difference in rank! Show me your Elemental Skills and I’ll take it right away!”
“Looking for a tank! Evasive tanks are also available! Anti-shields are preferred!”
I looked there in amazement at the sound of touts reminiscent of a market.
“What is that…”
“I’m recruiting a party.”
It was then.
A familiar voice returned to the unintentional muttering to myself.
“Carmella!”
“Hello, Noah.”
When I turned to where the sound came from, there was Carmella with long red hair and a relaxed smile.
“But what do you mean by recruiting a party?”
“Did I tell you the other day? It’s even better if you organize a party in advance for the entrance exam.”
“Yes, you said so.”
“But not everyone can organize a party beforehand like we did.”
“Hmm…. If you lack affinity or have no connections, it will be difficult to get in, right?”
That’s right.
It would be nice if a party offer came like you did, but honestly, no student would bother scouting someone they don’t know.
“Nobles who have ties to the outside world usually form a party. On the other hand, commoners who arrive here with only their abilities tend to form a party ahead of the exam.”
It is often said that blood ties, regional ties, and school ties are the best to establish a relationship.
In the case of nobles, it can be said that there is a regional relationship.
However, most of the commoners did not even have academic ties let alone Jiyeon, so it was only natural that they recruited a party right before the exam.
“They’re rather good. But that means I knew it was good to have a party in the entrance exam.”
I got the information ‘Party available’ Without any information.
Of course, they must be outstanding among the students.
Carmella looked at them with her young eyes for a moment, then gestured towards me.
“Now, let’s prepare ourselves. Come with us, Noah.”
Let me introduce you to my colleagues.
After saying that, Carmella turned around and walked away.
