    Episode 432

    Simon could not help but be entranced by the shocking story of Phantasus.

    “You will be the student council president of Keygen from now on!”

    Are you the student council president of Keygen?

    I?

    I’m not even in the 3rd year but I’m in the 2nd year now?

    “Now wait a minute!”

    Simon urgently opened his palm. I had a strong suspicion that there might have been some mistake.

    “It’s a bit sudden. The last time I met the Chairman for the first time at Pentamonium I was sure…”

    “I remember too!”

    Phantasus blurted out. His bold face came into view.

    “At that time I asked you if you were thinking about becoming the next student council president and you withheld your answer saying it was difficult to say anything yet.”

    “that’s right! But why suddenly…”

    “The situation has changed slightly.”

    Phantasus pointed down with his fingertip.

    “Why not sit down and listen to the story first? hmm!”

    “……All right.”

    Simon calmed down his excitement and sat down to listen to Phantasus’ story.

    Typically the student council president of Keygen is a third-year student. There is no rule that says the student council president must be the strongest in Keygen but that is a common belief.

    And the next student council president was almost confirmed. The man who the school Kizen headquarters and third graders are pushing to be the next student council president.

    “3rd grade senior Azel Bringer.”

    Phantasus crossed his arms.

    “He was the top student throughout his second year and now that he is in his third year he is a man who can be said to be the strongest in Keygen in name and reality. hmm!”

    Simon’s head tilted as he heard the story.

    “Then wouldn’t it make sense for him to become the student council president?”

    “ha ha ha! I told you things have changed!”

    Azel was currently carrying out important missions across the Holy Federation and the Neutral Zone.

    But things are a little different. No Pantasus said that it was seriously messed up and that it would likely return in the mid to late first semester at the earliest.

    “What kind of mission is this….”

    “Undercover and assassination of key figures.”

    Simon’s expression hardened after hearing the answer.

    “Please forgive me for not being able to tell you more details as they are top secret. hmm!”

    “Oh of course. it’s okay.”

    Phantasus licked his lips.

    “It was a mission that didn’t need to be done. Azel must have been aware of me so he decided to do the same mission I did in the past! hmm. You must have wanted to destroy the current situation in which you can’t help but be compared to me.”

    Sweet.

    At that time Anna brought candied fruits for dessert.

    “It’s okay to talk about important things but please just eat this.”

    Phantasus’s eyes rolled back.

    “You can’t be this kind! Thank you mother!”

    Right! Right!

    Phantasus ate the food with both hands without using any utensils.

    He said he became an adventurer after graduating from school but he didn’t seem to be able to eat a lot.

    “You don’t eat!”

    “it’s okay.”

    The conversation resumed.

    “With Azel’s return being delayed Keygen has no choice but to elect a new student council president! I can’t leave the important responsibility of student council president empty at the beginning of the semester which is the busiest time. hmm!”

    “I guess so.”

    “But I have already clearly conveyed my intention to Nephthys and the school!”

    chuck!

    Phantasus’s thick finger pointed to Simon’s forehead.

    “The person I recommend as my successor is Simon Pollentia! If Simon Pollentia can’t do it it’s Azel who seems to be the best among the third graders!”

    “yes yes?”

    “And now that Azel’s return is delayed and a temporary student council president is needed!”

    Phantasus’ eyes burned like flames.

    “I have no intention of appointing another third-year student as student council president besides you!!”

    Simon was embarrassed.

    “Even if they aren’t senior Azel aren’t there many third-year students who are greater than me?”

    “What are you talking about! They all suck!”

    Taang!

    Phantasus slammed his fist on the table causing the candied fruit to rise into the air and return to the bowl.

    “I was your junior for two years so I know it well! Of course there is no doubt about the skills of the third graders. But they are overly calculating! Strong against the weak and weak against the strong! Live the life others want without living your own life! Above all as a man I have no dreams or vision!”

    He let out his anger like the growl of an animal.

    “Even if dirt gets into the eyes of this Phantasus! I can’t recommend people like that to the position of president!”

    Simon scratched the side of his head.

    “But me too…”

    “You are different!”

    Phantasus pointed both palms towards Simon.

    “You willingly participated in the Pentamonium conference during the busiest time for first-year students since it is the BMAT and promotion exam!”

    “Yes that’s……”

    Their mouths moved at the same time.

    “To make money-”

    “I came here to make money!”

    Hahahaha!

    Phantasus laughed cheerfully and slapped his knees.

    “He’s a junior who really hits goals! What I reported about after that was a series of surprises! Even though he wrote an excellent paper at an academic conference he didn’t actually submit it for the summons performance evaluation! If I just gave it as is I would definitely get full marks! Instead you used the money from selling the thesis to create a rich and submit it to the performance evaluation!”

    Phantasus stuck out his head.

    “Why did you have to do that?”

    Simon blushed and answered as if he were embarrassed.

    “It was just something I really wanted to do.”

    Tears of joy welled up in Pantasus’ eyes.

    “Perfect!!!”

    A huge cry rang out across the high mountains of Les Hill.

    Meanwhile Richard was covering Anna’s ears from behind.

    “This is why I like you! Now that I’ve met you in person my confidence has become even stronger! You are the only one worthy of becoming the student council president!”

    Simon was at a loss but he still couldn’t understand Pantasus’ high opinion of him.

    “But at that time I heard a lot of people around me say that it was strange.”

    “Don’t pay attention to that voice! hmm!”

    Phantasus pounded my chest.

    “What was it like making that lychee in the end? I defeated Chatel a half-giant who was considered a step above you and even stopped the Blood Heavenly Church! Thanks to the very thing others laughed at because they didn’t need to do it!”

    …Looking at the results alone it seemed quite plausible.

    Simon who forced down the sudden feeling that was about to rise regained his composure and spoke.

    “I can see why the Chairman views me favorably but I think it is time to consider more realistic issues.”

    Phantasus calmed down his excitement and crossed his arms.

    “okay! A real problem! that’s right. You will face strong opposition and resistance from third graders!”

    “Yes that’s what bothers me the most.”

    Hehehe.

    Phantasus suddenly burst into laughter.

    “of course! That’s solved too!”

    “yes?”

    “Do you think I came to meet you recklessly and without any preparation? hmm!”

    Phantasus revealed that they had negotiated with Azel and the other third years who were currently on a mission.

    “first!”

    One of his heavy fingers soared.

    “During Azel’s absence Simon Pollentia takes over as student council president!”

    It’s a natural thing.

    “Second! 3rd graders respect the activities of the temporary student council president and the student council president does not interfere much with 3rd graders!”

    This was a pretty smart negotiation.

    After all these are second-year students and the student council does not have much control over third-year students who often go out. In fact it is a clause that prevents interference from third graders.

    “Third! When Azel returns and Simon safely maintains his position as student council president! And if Simon shows the will to continue as student council president! Through a duel evaluation between the two the winner becomes the student council president!”

    Simon was surprised.

    Was Pantasus who I thought was a typical drone type really this smart of a person?

    This was a pretty clever suggestion.

    First of all for third-year students ‘Azel’ who firmly holds the top position is an absolute presence.

    Therefore Phantasus gave the perception that ‘the position of student council president originally belonged to Azel.’ The third years will feel the burden of breaking the agreement between Phantasus and Azel and Simon will feel that much more free.

    Then the last finger unfolded.

    “Fourth!”

    “Still there?!”

    “If Azel takes over the position of student council president from Simon according to the third condition!”

    The corners of Phantasus’s mouth went up.

    “Azel unconditionally recommends Simon Pollentia as the next student council president!”

    Regardless of whether or not Simon can maintain the position of student council president in his second year there is even a treaty that guarantees him the position as student council president in his third year.

    “Did Senior Azel really accept that negotiation plan?”

    “That’s right! During the mission I used a letter to get permission. hmm!”

    Simon couldn’t help but be surprised.

    I can’t believe that the behind-the-scenes work had progressed this far without my knowledge.

    “Of course since your life is yours this choice is also yours!”

    Phantasus spread his arms.

    “But think about it! As you know the Kizen student council president is not a place for just anyone! Regardless of power and command specifications this is an experience that can only be had at Keygen! Regardless of being a necromancer I will become your greatest asset and nourishment as a human being. This Pantasus guarantees it!”

    “…….”

    At that time Simon closed his eyes and was contemplating.

    “The story seems to be coming to a close so may I intervene?”

    Richard who had not said a word until now came forward.

    “Of course! Father!”

    Phantasus took a step back and Richard sat down.

    “Pantasus Hugh Eckel. A person of your caliber is so persuasive so it is no wonder that my young son is tempted.”

    “No father! I do it purely for my son-”

    “It’s not for you to decide.”

    Richard who easily defeated Pantasus sat with his legs crossed looking solemn.

    It was the very pose that made the hearts of noble ladies flutter.

    “Simon I am against it.”

    Simon was surprised.

    Richard who thought his son would go crazy if he became the student council president of Kizen surprisingly showed opposition.

    “To be precise becoming student council president in the second year is the opposite. The curriculum itself for the second year of Keygen is different from the first year. It is bound to take time to adjust to academic life. Above all the second year is the time when you learn the most out of the three years of Keygen. A student council member who has to be responsible for external events at a time when one must devote 100% to one’s studies? It’s premature.”

    Richard nodded and continued.

    “You can become student council president even in your third year Simon. During the third year there are frequent business trips and dispatches. There is an advantage to being student council president because you can overcome that part to some extent through student council activities.”

    Phantasus suddenly stood up.

    “Father! You’re mistaken! About that part I really want to tell you…!”

    “you.”

    Richard asked in a cold voice.

    “Why did you choose my son as your successor?”

    Phantasus pounded my chest.

    “This Phantasus! Because he is a man who truly accepted it with his heart!”

    “I see. You recognized Simon. But while trying to take my son away.”

    His eyes sparkled.

    “Why don’t you think about getting the approval of Anna and me this child’s parents?”

    “!!!”

    Phantasus’ mouth dropped open.

    ‘What nonsense is that! father!’

    Simon also gaped. Of course in a different sense from Pantasus.

    “indeed!”

    Phantasus looked as if he had been hit squarely on the head with a hammer. Soon tears of emotion and respect filled his eyes.

    thud!

    He got down on one knee.

    “This Pantasus Hugh Ekel! Forgive my rudeness! I was so blinded by desire that I almost messed up the order!”

    Richard smiled arrogantly and crossed his legs.

    “I’m glad I found out now.”

    What on earth is going on?

    Simon looked at Anna but she said ‘Your father here we go again.’ He was shaking his head with the same expression.

    “As I said before there were some parts of your story that I could relate to.”

    Pantasus suddenly raised his head at Richard’s words.

    “That’s what you said!”

    “However there is a condition. Shouldn’t our son have the merit to take on the difficult and cumbersome position of president in his second year?”

    “You are right! You said it was a condition…!”

    “Teach my son the ‘Sleep’ curse.”

    Phantasus tilted his head.

    “The sleep curse is learned in the second year of study.”

    “Not such trash.”

    Richard’s eyes flashed as he revealed his true colors.

    “Your original! That’s what I’m talking about!”

    Even if he bows down and accepts the position of student council president it won’t be enough.

    It was Richard who was tearing off one more thing.
