I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City

37 – Entrance Exam (2)

Now, the entrance ceremony is one month away.

The Student Council was having a busy day today due to the shorter entrance exam.

“Please send this to the Ministry of Environment.”

“Where are the security papers?”

“That’s for the president!”

“Master, the security papers.”

“Here it is. And where is the list of observers for the entrance ceremony?”

“It’s probably on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We haven’t been able to assemble the VIPs from outside yet, so they’ll finish that and come up to us.”

“Alice, tell the Minister of Foreign Affairs to report immediately when the list is sorted out.”

“I will send a secretary right away.”

“How did the entrance exam plan go?”

“G1 hasn’t been sorted out yet. There are plans for G2 and G3, but would you like to give them a go?”

“Yes, tell the G1 side to hurry too. I know it’s hard to prepare for a different test every year, but it’s difficult if the schedule is delayed.”

“Okay. Let’s try contacting schools that haven’t submitted plans yet.”

“Tatiana, here’s the plan. When you’re done checking, please pass it on to the guidance department.”

“What should I do with the documents related to the middle school and elementary school?”

“High school and university departments are more urgent now, so I’ll give them priority. Middle school and elementary school will be dealt with later.”

“Okay. I’ll pass that on to each department.”

The chairman repeatedly reads and pays for documents at a terrifying speed, Sun-hwa moves her hands busily while leaving afterimages, and even Tatiana walks around and reports the documents of each department.

“Excuse me. Let’s take a break.”

The student council room, which required extreme concentration, was finally able to cool down after Alice, the chief secretary, brought refreshments.

“I’m even busier this year.”

“Because a lot of heavyweights are enrolled.”

Starting with the princess of the imperial empire, the executor of Dongriam, the candidate for the saintess of Rosaria, and finally the disciple of the new palace that all schools, including G1, are aiming for.

“There were even 2 princesses of Behite.”

She entered the school secretly for some reason, but as she manages all the students, they already knew her identity.

“As long as she doesn’t harm the city, I don’t intend to touch her. She just entered as a student anyway.”

The president, who responded lightly to Tatiana’s words, simply drank coffee with a tired look.

A few minutes to enjoy refreshments in such a quiet space.

“When will the vice president come?”

The president, who had been drinking coffee without speaking, muttered in a tired voice.

The two sighed in unison at the question that touched on a part they hadn’t thought of.

“I’m sure. I wouldn’t have been so busy if I had been the vice president.”

“Maybe he’ll be back by now.”

Recognized by all the executives of the student council, she was an excellent all-rounder in many ways, but especially had overwhelming skills when it came to paperwork.

Yes, to the extent that her vacancy is especially felt today.

Like her Noh ○-gu who cried out for her ○ Raemon, the chairman who searched for her in her heart realized that she had sent her out of the city and let out a deep sigh.

“Shouldn’t have sent the vice president…”

“Whoops, that’s impossible, Chairman.”

“As the target is the target, the class does not match unless it is the owner or the vice president.”

“Hmm… I was a disciple of the shrine.”

Even ordinary high elves are treated like royalty in the Great Forest.

With the title of a disciple of the shrine, the only people who can meet him are the president himself or the vice-president.

There, the chairman had a noble (?) Mission to watch over the main character, so the vice chairman dispatched on his behalf.

“He was exempt from the transfer ceremony, right?”

“Yes, that’s why I skip the transfer ceremony and visit during the admission season.”

“It’s an unconventional decision.”

“It can’t be helped. The symbolism he possesses cannot be ignored. Rather than giving unnecessary waves, we decided to hide it to some extent.”

When the chairman who decided to exempt them from the transfer ceremony said so, the two nodded.

“Well, it’s funny how a disciple of the Shinto Shrine only receives an incorporation ceremony.”

“I hear rumors going around that some academies even exempt him from the entrance exam?”

“That’s absurd.”

Are you saying it doesn’t matter as long as he gets you into his academy?

It was an absurd decision beyond being unconventional.

“I took a proper rest, so let’s start again.”

Leaving behind his short thoughts, the chairman stood up from his seat with a sip of the remaining coffee and muttered blankly as he looked at the newly piled documents in his seat before he knew it.

“The vice president won’t come to the entrance exam, right?”

“Unfortunately.”

“……It’s depressing.”

Are you saying we have to deal with the endless paperwork hell without a vice president?

He closed his eyes at the truth that came to him naturally.

───

Meanwhile, Slane Academy was busy preparing for the entrance exam as well.

Slaine Academy, which boasts a long history and tradition, had an excellent curriculum worthy of its reputation, but unfortunately, it was not applied in the annual entrance exam.

【To discover outstanding talent, you must always present new and creative trials.】

Slaine Academy, which gives a different test every year according to the ideology of the great hero who founded Slaine, was the place where the concept of ‘genealogy’ did not fit the most.

Among them, the most creative test was the entrance exam.

They had a very high notoriety among the aspirants for giving a different test every year without following a slightly fixed curriculum.

Slaine, the school most avoided by the entrance exam academies in the city, was the farthest away from the words ‘preparation’ or ‘preparation’.

Slaine, who presented creative trials every time, was able to accept students full of individuality thanks to him, but should it be the aftermath of that?

As a result, on the contrary, teachers will also have to face the reality that they are racking their brains every year to set up exams!

So this year, Slaine’s meeting room was filled with various aspects.

Among the instructors gathered there, the combat magic instructor was the first to open fire.

“As expected, wouldn’t it be better to use Leivik Forest?”

“That’s difficult. Due to the nature of Rayvik, which has a large number of land-type monsters, it is suitable for judging the response in actual combat, but it has a basic safety problem and the discrimination ability of non-combat students is poor.”

“It is also ambiguous to determine the ranking. If the number of monsters defeated is used as a standard, those who pour out wide-range magic have a great advantage, and if the monster’s rarity is judged, the contribution to the party becomes a problem.”

“It’s a question of whether to proceed as a party or as an individual.”

“First of all, I understand that Leivik Forest has already applied for permission to use it from Soft Iron. If you apply now, you will not be able to use it for the entrance exam.”

“But isn’t virtual practice using holograms possible?”

“It needs to be approved by the control AI. The process is more complicated than I thought, so you have to apply at least a month in advance.”

As soon as one opinion was presented, the instructors’ expressions gradually darkened at the terrifyingly shot opposite opinion.

“Then, how about a one-on-one discussion with the instructors? It’s a sparring match against the instructors at the gymnasium. Instructors that match the students you’re dealing with are invited as judges to evaluate your abilities.”

“Dalian.”

“That must be a bit difficult. As far as I know, there are about 300 applicants for admission this year. On the other hand, the number of our instructors, including non-combat instructors, is less than 50. If you exclude the judges, about 30 people are in charge of 300 people, but if you deal with as many as 10 people in 1:1 sparring, there will be talk of fairness.”

It is difficult to say that a student who faced each other in a perfect state and a student who faced each other in a half-exhausted state are fair exams even with empty words.

Of course, the combat instructors won’t get tired after dealing with only 10 people, but the fact that students can raise such objections is itself a problem.

“Slaine’s trial must be carried out clearly and fairly.”

“If there’s even one backlash, it’s discrediting the academy’s name.”

“We need to give a test that all students who took the test can understand without a second thought.”

“Hmm… What exam did you take last year?”

“Last year we had a tournament among students.”

“Combat classes have sparring, and non-combat classes have special skills confrontation. If each other’s skills are different, I gave them a cooperative task to create by combining the two skills.”

There is no need to consider the talent of students as long as they apply to Slaine.

Everyone possesses one of the best talents on the continent, and their growth rates also have the potential to be called geniuses.

That’s why the instructors mainly looked at the current perfection rather than the potential.

How much skill has the aspirant accumulated at this point?

From nob le mt l dot com

Did you achieve steady training without being proud of your overwhelming talent?

In a word, it would be correct to say that I mainly saw sincerity.

And most of those people were proud of their skills.

Even if you lose in Dalian, you will only dwell on your lack of skills and not rebel against the Dalian itself.

So from the point of view of the instructors, it was a very discriminatory test.

I wanted to take the test comfortably in that way every year, but unfortunately, rehearsing the test is prohibited by school rules, so it was a pity.

“It’s difficult. I really can’t remember.”

“That’s right. Wouldn’t it be better for the demon beast to fall from the sky?”

“Hahaha, that would be fun!”

“The evaluation criteria are judgment and adaptability in unexpected situations?”

“We should also look at the aggressiveness of solving the case. The damage to life and rescue will also be scored.”

“That’s fun!”

“Well, that’s not going to happen!”

──No, that looks interesting.

In the conference room, where the atmosphere was relaxed with jokes, a serious voice shook the audience, and all eyes turned to each other.

Wrinkled skin and bare hair like a barren land.

I could feel the passage of time through my closed eyes.

The beard on his chin was long and reached all the way to his toes.

The old man, who smiled and brushed his clean white beard, spoke again as everyone’s eyes focused on him.

“You look fine.”

“But, principal. The opinion I just gave you is not feasible…”

“Why not? The students, who recognized the sudden appearance of the monster as a real battle, deal with it. The picture is nice too.”

The vice-principal next to the principal, who chuckled as he touched his beard, said in bewilderment.

“No matter how hard it is, monsters are difficult. Where do you get them in the first place?”

“Ehh? Feeling difficult?”

“Of course! The principle is that monsters in the city must be dealt with immediately upon discovery, and even if there are monsters, they are all test subjects in the laboratory. You know how difficult it is to find monsters at this time, right?”

Even if they somehow managed to get permission from the city, now is the time when demon beasts are in full swing.

Intensified with the demons’ movements, the demonic energy made the beasts ferocious, and animal-type beasts in particular often reveal their more ferocious nature in winter.

That’s why you can’t show insect-type or flying-type monsters to chicks who are only wannabes.

‘The animal-type monster is the safest, but now is not the right time!’

As for the test date, it’s close to winter, so it’s a burden to capture the monster.

It’s not like the principal doesn’t know that.

‘Maybe I’m senile as well!’

The vice-principal, who had a reprehensible thought in his head, looked at the principal again at the sound that followed.

“Hmm? There’s no particular need for the Demon Beast to be alive, is it?”

“…Yes?”

“Hoho, didn’t the young people tell you? How about a virtual practice using a hologram?”

“That’s…!”

Of course I said that!

“But that’s practically impossible.”

“Does it feel like there’s not much time left before the exam?”

“…That’s right. The entrance ceremony is one month away now. The entrance exam is two weeks later. Even if you apply to the control AI from now on, it’s impossible to make it in time…”

The principal, who quietly stroked his beard at the words of an instructor, opened his mouth while looking at one side of the meeting room.

“My child. What do you think?”

“I…”

A woman with her glossy black hair growing to her waist opened her mouth with golden eyes shining.

“I think it’s possible.”

“What, what?!”

Without paying attention to the perplexed atmosphere around her, the cold-looking woman continued her conversation slowly.

“Actually, I recently received a notice from the Student Council.”

“At General School?”

“Yes, they said that if you need anything for this entrance exam, you will apply first.”

──?!

At her bombshell remarks, the audience was greatly agitated.

“The General School promised full support?”

“For what purpose?”

“What is Yeon Jeseong thinking?”

“Are you interested in Slaine’s talent?”

Even though he is a graduate of his alma mater, the instructors all of a sudden responded that they couldn’t understand when he suddenly showed himself, who had always maintained a businesslike attitude.

“Everybody be quiet.”

It was the principal who calmed the fuss.

He looked at her through her closed eyes.

“Oh, is that true?”

“Yes, principal. It is true.”

“Hmm…”

An old man who silently ponders for a moment whether his change as a principal was unexpected.

After a while, the principal spoke again.

“Well, anyway, that’s good news for us. How about it, wouldn’t the plan just now be possible if he cooperated?”

“That, that’s…”

“Certainly possible.”

“What we lacked was time…”

“It’s strange that Yeon Je-seong suddenly applied.”

“Well, isn’t that guy a graduate of Slaine too? No matter how much he classifies construction work, he must have had a debt in one side of his heart.”

The atmosphere in the meeting room gradually began to move in a better direction as the support of the president became clear.

“Okay, then let’s make this year’s entrance exam a virtual practice of the Witchbeast. As for the evaluation method for combat and non-combat positions, the instructors in charge make rules that are as fair as possible. Each instructor assumes that it will be a real battle and prepares security measures. “

──I see!

Finally, the meeting is over.

Starting with the principal, all the instructors in the space left the conference room.

“I’ll be busy for a while.”

“It looks like we’re going to create an evaluation method right away.”

“That’s a relief. It’s the same for us.”

“Let’s go get some coffee before we start.”

“That’s right. Ah, good job Chairman!”

“You worked hard, Instructor.”

Seeing off the last remaining instructor, the woman who stayed until the end carefully took out her mask from her arms.

It must have been handled quite harshly, and the broken mask was cracked here and there, even at first glance, there were traces of very careful management.

Holding her mask tightly to her simple chest, she uttered a voice filled with firm determination.

“The opportunity my brother prepared for me. I will never disappoint you.”

The student council president of Slaine Academy.

Yeon Ji-eun recited in a resolute tone.
