The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 259

Chapter 57 Tail after tail (7)

11.

A boy with gray hair suddenly appeared.

When Elvin discovered him, his eyes widened. She then exclaimed, smiling happily.

“Senior Parcheka!”

Mond Parcheca.

A third-year student in the Faculty of Magic and Ervin’s direct senior.

At the same time, he is said to be the left arm of the current student council president. At his appearance, the two executives next to Elvin also bowed their heads.

Meanwhile, Mond, who came over while receiving everyone’s greetings, patted Elvin on the shoulder and smiled.

“Under the current circumstances, we need a bigger shot to secure a clear victory.”

Rather than tarnishing Iris’ reputation by spreading false rumors, it is a heavy and certain blow that can knock her to the ground.

For some reason, there is a sense of composure.

Elvin asked back with a look of anticipation on his face.

“Do you have any tricks?”

“of course. “You disqualify your opponent by accusing him of violating election rules.”

“Si, disqualification?”

Two surprised executives.

On the other hand, Elvin’s complexion did not change. She just twinkles her eyes as if she’s interested.

“I’d like to hear more details.”

“It’s simple. “You’re manipulating the number of votes.”

“… … !”

“All you have to do is throw in far more votes than can be counted among all eligible voters, so that the opposing candidate wins.”

Then the Election Commission will begin an investigation. Of course, the person who raises the most suspicion here is the opposing candidate who won the election.

“And as long as the Electoral Commission is on our side, as it is now, Iris Senior will naturally be disqualified.”

If there is a re-vote afterward, the victory will naturally belong to the current student council. Because no candidate except Iris can be an opponent of the student council.

“I heard that this method was used once a long time ago. “I guess there was someone like Iris Senior back then who didn’t know fractions.”

“okay. Then we can win the election without having to provoke those barbarians.”

After finishing his explanation, Mond shrugged his shoulders and Elvin nodded with an expression of admiration.

Is it because a painful problem has been resolved?

A bright smile bloomed on Elvin’s face, which had been filled with deep thoughts. On the other hand, the other two executives could not hide their anxious feelings.

“Well, but… … .”

“huh?”

“Wouldn’t it be a big problem if I were to use the same method I used before and get discovered?”

“No, you won’t get caught.”

Mond shook his head resolutely.

He then spoke with confidence.

“This is not an election to decide important issues for the country or elect a leader, but rather an election to select a student council president with a one-year term.”

So no one will care.

Also, the professors didn’t really care who became the student council president.

“I see, that’s right!”

“As expected, you are a senior.”

“thank you. “It helped me a lot.”

Elvin, led by the two students, also nodded as if he agreed with the opinion. Then Mond suddenly cleared his throat and looked sideways at Elvin.

“Hmm! Rather, Elvin.”

“Yes, senior.”

“Those tea leaves I gave you as a gift the other day.”

Mond suddenly mentions tea leaves.

However, Elvin was not embarrassed.

Rather, he nodded and asked back, as if he had guessed that the story would be brought up.

“You mean the leaves of Droga?”

“that’s right. “It looks like it’s of pretty good quality. If you have any spares, can I get another one?”

Somehow, earnest eyes.

In reality, Mond’s hands were shaking slightly as if he was nervous. Elvin looked at Mond carefully and let out a quiet sigh.

“Phew, sorry, but it’s hard right now. “The other seniors also wanted it, so they all ran out.”

“Yeah, really?”

“But you don’t have to worry.”

Ervin smiled brightly as he looked at Mond, whose complexion suddenly darkened.

“We recently secured the supply again. So, soon after the election is over, I will gift it to senior Parcheka first.”

“Really? “Really?”

“Yes, I promise.”

Along with Elvin’s words, a wide smile bloomed on Mond’s face. Afterwards, the secret conversation ended with a short burst of laughter.

Some time after that.

A rustling sound was suddenly heard in the forest, which was wrapped in silence. It was a place not far from where Elvin and Mond had a conversation.

“I didn’t mean to listen to it on purpose… … .”

A soft voice came next.

A moment later, someone jumped out of the tree, accompanied by the sound of leaves rustling.

A girl with gray hair and glasses.

She, who had hidden her presence so far, looked intently at the place where Elvin and Mond had disappeared.

“… … “I heard something amazing.”

Sirpi Ludric.

As she was taking the shortcut to the library as usual, she suddenly saw Elvin and his group pop out and suddenly climbed up the tree.

Then, I hid my presence and waited for them to disappear, but in the process of waiting, I overheard an unexpected conversation.

“Besides, the leaves of Droga… … .”

Droga is a type of plant that lives in the desert, and is famous among desert tribes as a poisonous plant.

However, if you dry the leaves well and mix them in water in small amounts and take them, they have the effect of causing excitement and hallucinations along with strong symptoms of poisoning.

Simply put, it means it is a drug.

Remembering this, Sirpi’s complexion became quite serious. But even for a moment, she soon burst into dry laughter.

“Well, it has nothing to do with me.”

Neither the distribution of drugs to the academy nor the current student council’s attempt to carry out a trick had anything to do with Sirpi.

Therefore, Sirpi shook off his thoughts and turned around again. Some time later, when he arrived near the library, his original destination.

“Ah, Sylphy!”

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

When I reflexively turned my head, there was a girl waving at her.

Blonde hair and turquoise eyes.

It was Ibella Elead, one of the few friends I made here.

‘and… … .’

Next to Ibella was a barbarian who was completely naked from the waist up. It was Ulan, a figure who was now very famous in the academy.

“It’s been a while since I last saw you. how have you been doing?”

“Ugh, I’ve been fine. Rather, I’m glad that they both came back safely.”

“That’s right, although it was a little late.”

Ibella smiled awkwardly.

Then, something suddenly caught Sirpi’s attention. It was a bundle of paper in the arms of Ulan and Ibella.

“But what is that?”

“Oh, this? This… … .”

“It’s an election leaflet.”

“election?”

“Yes, actually, I decided to help senior Iris, who is running for student council president.”

Ibella explained the whole story.

In detail, from when I first met Iris Senior to why I came to help her.

In this process, Sirpi learned that Ulan and Ibella supported Iris.

‘Wait a minute, if it’s Iris Senior… … .’

This is the name of the person mentioned in the student council officers’ conversation earlier and the name of the opposing candidate they are plotting to disqualify.

As Sirpi’s eyes widened as she realized this fact, Ulan, who had been silent, suddenly tapped Ibella on the shoulder.

“Ibella.”

“huh? why?”

“It’s time to move on.”

“Ah, it’s already happened like this. Then we’ll go first. “See you again in class tomorrow!”

There are still many election leaflets left.

Ibella, who understood what Ulan meant, said goodbye to Sirpi and turned around.

Meanwhile, Sirpi bit her lip as if thinking about something, and then hastily stretched out her hand.

“Now, wait a minute!”

Is it because of the rather loud voice?

Ulan and Ibella all looked back at Sirpi. Sirpi, who received their attention, hesitated for a moment and revealed the reason for calling the two.

“Actually, I just happened to see it… … .”

It was to tell me about the conspiracy of the student council executives that I had unintentionally heard about earlier.

If the other person had been someone else, I wouldn’t have said anything, but Ulan and Ibella are exceptions.

The two of us had been stranded together in the underground ruins of the Fountain of Magic before. He was also one of the few people that the current Sirpi could call a friend.

Meanwhile, after Sirpi’s story ended.

Ulan and Ibella’s faces hardened without anyone taking the lead.

“… … “Is that true?”

“Yes, I heard you clearly.”

Sirpi nods with a serious face.

Ibella bit her lips tightly and let out a low moan. This is because of the story I just heard about student council executives plotting an evil plan.

On the other hand, that wasn’t the only reason why Ulan’s face hardened. A word that appeared at first glance in Sirpi’s story was crucial.

‘Leaves of Droga.’

A powerful hallucinogen and raw material for drugs.

Although it is a plant that grows in the desert, it is not used by desert cults, and is mainly used by Abyss worshipers when performing rituals related to the Abyss.

And I heard from Sirpi that it was Erwin who mentioned the word Droga’s leaves. She is the one who gave off the scent of an Abyss worshiper.

‘I’m sure it’s related anyway.’

I’ll have to investigate separately as well.

Ulan’s eyes flashed faintly as he remembered the smell that Elvin had given off. Meanwhile, Ibella, who was gathering her thoughts, looked back at Sirpi.

“Thank you for telling me, Sylphy.”

“Ugh, no. “It’s nothing special.”

“Thanks to you, I think it will be of great help. “I will definitely repay you later after the election is over.”

“uh? No, I’m fine… … .”

“Then see you tomorrow!”

Sirpi waved his hand as if it was okay, but Ibella did not respond and held Ulan’s hand.

Then he left immediately.

In order to convey this fact to Iris as soon as possible. Sirpi muttered softly as she watched the two of them moving further and further away.

“… … “For some reason, I’m a little jealous.”

If I had been born into an ordinary family in the empire instead of a desert sect, I would have been able to enjoy school life like Ulan or Ibella.

Sirpi let out a heavy sigh.

However, this is not just a wish that cannot come true. In fact, she had a reason to sigh.

A few days ago now.

A letter arrived from Sirpi.

The sender is Count Deorg. He is the heretic hunter most feared by the Desert Cult, and is the one currently holding Sirpi’s breath in check.

The content of the letter was short and concise.

『I have a few questions to ask. I will be moving up to the academy soon, so please wait at the place where I always meet you this coming Friday morning.』

He said he would come to the academy right away.

The moment Sirpi saw this, her heart fluttered and her body trembled without her knowledge. Because she felt an instinctive fear.

‘What on earth are you trying to ask?’

I already told you everything I know.

No matter what I ask, there is no answer anymore.

That made me even more scared. If it is discovered that he has no value, Count Deorg will have no reason to keep him alive.

‘Please, I hope it’s not a big deal… … .’

Sirpi closed her eyes tightly.

After that, she managed to shake off her frustration and started walking again.

Then, I suddenly felt a presence.

what? Could it be that Ulan and Ibella have returned?

I turned my head with a puzzled feeling. However, the person who came into view was an unexpected person.

“Phew, I finally found it.”

A girl breathing heavily.

Like Sirpi, he is a freshman who wears a red tie, symbolizing first-year students. She calmed her breathing and spoke.

“hello! “If it’s not rude, could you give me a moment?”

“you are… … .”

“I want to ask you something.”

A girl looking this way with a smile.

Hair resembling the night sky and eyes as blue as the sea. Since it was a face she remembered, Sirpi quickly remembered the girl’s name.

It was ‘Noah Darshen’.
