Ppekkum-.
Dwyer’s hidden pond and refuge.
The carp slurped and inhaled the breadcrumbs thrown by Dwenner.
“Yes, yes. Eat a lot. Thank you for welcoming me today.”
But that only lasted a few minutes.
As soon as the bread crumbs fell, all the carp turned away.
“Are you going to bed because you’re full? Why don’t you play with me a little longer… ?”
The time he got scolded by student council president Awin, the time his papers piled up and spilled out the door, and the time he was chased by Rodelin while trying to escape.
Dwenner wanted to talk about what happened today.
Dwenner doesn’t have a single teacher who hangs out with him, let alone friends.
Maybe that’s why I often came to the pond and talked to the carp.
Of course, even if it was called a conversation, it was just Dwenner talking and the carps listening.
It was a one-sided communication that couldn’t even be called a conversation.
“Caron, that guy needs to come back soon… … .”
Dwenner is called the symbol of incompetence among teachers.
It is commonplace to not only follow Dwyer’s words, but not even have a conversation with him.
Charon was the only one who listened to him and followed him.
“He looks bad, but… … he does what he’s told. He’s a really good guy.”
That’s why I’m allowing you to leave your seat even though it’s still the semester.
Dwyer recalled the memory of that day.
Caron came to the president’s office. Aleste was standing behind him.
-I need a vacation.
-Uh, yeah? It’s the middle of the semester, how can… … .
-I’m on vacation.
-Oh, I see. How long will it take…?
-I don’t know.
-Oh, I see. Take care and have a safe trip.
Not only does the teacher take vacation during the semester, he doesn’t even tell me how long it will be.
It was impossible, but Dwenner had no choice but to allow it.
Because Aleste, who was behind Charon, smiled faintly.
‘What a quirky old man… … .’
When I was young, I used to go from party to party to build my network.
Dwynne saw Aleister, who was beating up nobles with his staff.
‘I’m wearing the mask of a kind old man now… … but I’m not being fooled!’
Dwenner shuddered.
Anyway, Dwenner was hoping that Caron would come back soon.
There were so many things I wanted to say.
‘Whew… … Every time something like this happens, I think of that kid… … .’
zero.
A child who sees the inner self of a person, not the outer appearance.
Not only do they recognize their own abilities, but they are also kind, cool, and cute.
A very lovely student.
I wanted to call Zero and talk to him right away.
Because that child will always respond to your call.
but.
‘I am the president, and Zero is a student!’
Public and private life must be separated.
I couldn’t afford to waste zero time trying to fulfill my own desires.
‘What a true teacher this is… …!’
It was a time when Dwyer was absorbed in his own competence.
“Mr. President!”
From afar, Zero came running, waving his hand.
Could it be that my longing heart has created an illusion?
“President! You are here.”
“J, Zero-kun? Is that really you?”
“Hehe, have you met any other Zeros in the meantime? If so, you might be a little disappointed.”
“Seo, you’re sad! Don’t say such sad things.”
To think that everyone would come to see me, even though I was the one they were ignoring.
Dwenner held back the tears that threatened to flow at any moment.
Swish-.
Zero, who was looking around, took something out.
“Hmm? What is that?”
“This is a special juice I made for the president who always helps students in every way possible and thinks only of them day and night. It’s filled with healthy red ginseng and honey.”
A combination of healthy red ginseng and honey!
‘You gave me something so precious… …!’
A moved Dwyer held the special juice in his arms.
“Of course, the red ginseng roots were soaked and taken out in just one second… … .”
“Huh? What did you just say?”
“Haha, I didn’t say anything. You even listened to my nonsense… … You seem to be exhausted.”
“Ahem, that’s true. I worked for two whole hours today.”
“You did the difficult work of the president for two hours! It would have been impossible for an ordinary person.”
“Hmm! If it weren’t for me, it would have been a big problem.”
Dwenner’s shoulders straightened. His self-esteem had soared.
It was so amazing how much fun it was to just have a brief conversation.
but.
“Zero Army.”
“yes.”
“Listen to me without misunderstanding. This kind of meeting is problematic. People will look at Zero-kun with disfavor.”
A secret meeting between the president and a student.
Rumors may spread that there were secret backroom deals.
‘I don’t care, but… Zero-kun is a young man with a bright future ahead of him. I can’t sacrifice Zero-kun for my own happiness.’
This is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
I had to send him off with tears in my eyes. Zero was a child who had a lot to do.
It was when Dwenner bowed his head.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“what……?”
“Send those gazes to your heart’s content.”
Dwenner, who had raised his head, could see.
Zero’s smile is somewhat sad, but shows his strong will.
“I value spending time like this with the president more. I can bear any amount of contempt.”
“Why on earth… … are you being so nice to me? What on earth did I say… … .”
“Well… … .”
Zero opened his mouth, scratching the back of his head as if he felt embarrassed.
“Because a man is loyal to those who recognize him.”
“… … !”
Dwenner couldn’t help but be moved.
A person who recognizes your own worth.
How I longed to find someone like that, someone who would recognize my true worth even when I was being criticized for being incompetent.
‘So that’s what I was to Zero-kun… …!’
But then I got a breakup notice from the person I thought so much about.
It left a deep scar on Zero’s heart.
“I’m sorry. I won’t say something like that again. From now on, I won’t care about society’s opinion at all!”
“Mr. President… … !”
“Zero Army… …!”
Wow!
Dwenner, hugging Zero tightly, made a promise.
I will make sure this child graduates safely.
Even if other people treat him rudely and spread malicious rumors, he will always believe in Zero and stay by his side.
It was a time when I made such a firm resolution.
“ha…….”
A sigh escaped Zero’s mouth.
It was a sigh full of sighs.
“Zero-kun, what’s going on?”
“It’s nothing.”
“okay?”
“Haaaaaah… … .”
But even after that, Zero’s sighs did not stop.
Dwyer had a gut feeling that something was wrong with his precious student.
‘There’s nothing I can do. As the president, I have no choice but to solve this!’
An ordinary student becomes a SSS-rank knight with the help of the president!?
It’s a good title for an autobiography.
For that prologue, Dwyer took a big step forward.
“Zero-kun, do you know that? The more you talk about your worries, the lighter they become.”
“Mr. President… … .”
“Tell me. There may be a way I can help.”
Zero’s lips parted as he paused for a moment in thought.
“Ha… … I just happened to come across a good training method.”
“Cultivation method?”
“Yes. It’s a very good training method that is good for the body and can help you grow in various places.”
“Here and there… … ?”
“Of course, I’m talking about muscles.”
Zero handed over a few pieces of paper.
It was a piece of paper with five different movements drawn on it. There were also detailed descriptions of each movement written here and there.
“I hope this helps my classmates… … but it’s not easy to explain.”
It can’t be helped. The nobles think that my family’s training method is the best.
Students from commoners and low-class backgrounds long for good cultivation methods, but they are unlikely to value cultivation methods provided by fellow students.
Dwenner couldn’t help but be impressed once again.
‘Thinking of my classmates in this fiercely competitive society… …!’
What a generous child this is.
Anyway, our Zero is innocent and that’s a problem.
‘This is a big deal.’
The image of Zero screaming and being bitten by beasts in human skin filled Dwyer’s mind.
After all, Zero must protect himself.
but.
“I can’t include it in the formal curriculum. It’s a training method that hasn’t been verified yet, but I can’t just give it away like this.”
“That’s what I’m saying. This is a really good training method. Haa… … .”
Zero sighed deeply. Dwenner, who was watching him, let out a snicker.
“I guess it wouldn’t matter if it was just stretching exercises.”
“yes?”
“It’s good exercise to do before class, after class, and during free time. I think it would be good to promote it like that.”
“What a brilliant idea… …!”
“If it really works, there will be students who do it whenever they have time. At that point, there will be no need for promotion.”
Zero, whose face was bright red.
But soon, the corners of his mouth drooped.
“But… … I don’t have the strength.”
“… … .”
“My colleagues won’t even listen to me… … How can I promote it?”
“… … I can do it.”
“yes?”
“There is something like that. Anyway, don’t worry, Zero-kun. I’ll do something about it.”
“Mr. President… … .”
Zero kept his mouth shut. Anyone who saw him could tell that he was deeply moved.
Zero bowed deeply and left the pond.
Dwenner was left alone. His eyes began to shine.
‘Five movements are described in detail with pictures.’
but.
‘The format is a mess.’
At this rate, we won’t be able to overcome the mountain called ‘student council’.
There was a need to write a report.
‘Oh, oh, oh. There’s nothing I can do. I’m capable, so I have no choice but to use my strength.’
Of course, to do that, he had to start by clearing away the piles of paperwork that had begun to encroach on the student council beyond the room.
It was when Dwenner took a step towards the president’s office.
Ugh!
“Ugh! Frozen shoulder from the shock of facing the devil!”
Dwenner trembled at the shock.
Suddenly something entered his gaze.
The paper Zero gave me. There were five movements drawn on it.
‘Hmm… is this it?’
It was the moment when Dwyer completed all five movements in one go.
Knock knock-!
“hmm?”
My shoulder didn’t hurt.
The frozen shoulder that had been bothering him every day suddenly disappeared.
“no way…….”
Could this be the power of the training method that Zero gave me?
No, that can’t be. No matter how good the training method is, that’s impossible.
“Is it because I met Zero-kun… … My body feels light.”
Dwenner was completely unaware.
That your stats have now increased.
Twice, at that.
* * *
Thump thump thump thump!!
Paralock-!
Papers fluttered in the president’s office, like cherry blossoms.
President Dwyer stamping his seal like crazy.
The student council members who saw that sight couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘… … The president is working?’
‘Is this a dream?’
‘What is that speed?’
Vice President of the Student Council Rodelin was also surprised.
She snatched one of the fluttering papers.
“Hey, what are you doing now?”
“Can’t you see it? Aren’t you working?”
Day?
Of course it would be good. But… … .
“Are you seeing it properly?”
One payment document per second.
It was too fast, even though it was fast. It was only stamping, so it was natural.
‘I can’t believe you approved it without looking at the contents.’
Rodelin couldn’t help but frown.
Even though President Dwyer was extremely incompetent, I didn’t think he was a bad person.
But now that thinking has changed.
Incompetent and bad.
It got to the point where I had to seriously consider submitting a motion for dismissal.
It was when Rodelin was about to issue an ultimatum.
“Is this the consent form for the establishment of the ‘Love Supporting Club’ and ‘Sa-eung-dong’ that Miss Yuridia applied for? Of course I saw it.”
“……yes?”
“You applied to be an unofficial club that does not receive support from the Academy. Since there is no particular reason to reject it, you submitted a motion for approval, right?”
Rodelyn couldn’t believe it.
The document he was holding now. Because it contained the exact same content as Dwenner had said.
‘But you didn’t even write down the reason for approving it… … .’
It meant that even while stamping the seal, he figured out the reason.
The conclusion reached after a long discussion by the student council. It was reached in just one second.
“Well, that’s true, but… … .”
“I see. I thought I made a mistake again. It was the 125th document I processed. And this is the 126th, regarding ‘playground maintenance fee claim.’”
thud!
“… … !!”
Dwenner stamped his seal again, in just one second.
The incredible speed of document processing that is hard to believe for an incompetent Dwenner.
There was a secret hidden here.
‘There’s no need to think about it.’
It is a student council that is called the best among all student councils.
‘Because they are kids who go beyond discussion and even fight.’
The student council members were not only talented, but also passionate.
It is unlikely that these kids would easily upload documents requesting approval for payment.
The story is that proposals that were too absurd were ‘cut’ long ago.
In other words, the only thing he had to do was to stamp the president’s seal on the approval documents submitted by those kids. That was it.
It was Dwenner who ran away because he was too annoyed by that.
Oh, then how do you know the contents of the document?
‘I know because I read it.’
Incredible speed reading ability. It was Dwyer’s hidden talent.
Understand the logic of a document in one second, why it should be approved, and summarize it.
Don’t put unnecessary words like idioms and adverbs into your brain from the beginning.
That’s speed reading.
Now, Dwyer’s speed reading ability had reached its limit.
because.
‘I have to solve Zero-kun’s problem!’
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom!
Dwenner’s stamping speed began to increase more and more.
Rodelyn and the student council kids couldn’t help but be shocked.
Dwenner, who had been looking at them, shook his head.
‘You’re slow. You’re even surprised.’
Dwenner’s first original bigi.
Scatter, calligraphy cherry blossoms.
A storm of paperwork swept through the student council.
Just like cherry blossoms.
