Chapter 231 - Cherin, the Land of Sakura and Seven Holy Swords [2] (1/2)
231. Cherin, the Land of Sakura and Seven Holy Swords [2]
At the end of the student council executives election, the president suddenly recommended me for the position of Vice-President in front of the entire academy.
Of course, I haven’t been told of this at all.
「P-President… What are you saying!?」
As soon as I asked so,
「Because, if I don’t do it like this… you will turn it down right, Allen-kun?」
She tilted her neck adorably, while not seeming to be sorry in the least.
「I see that you understand that well… But this time that’s not going to work, you know? The “Student Council President” does not have the authority to hold an election without permission after all.」.
Student council executives have a significant impact on the management of Thousand Blade Academy.
Executive elections to determine the personnel will be held by the “Staff Board” or by a higher body.
In other words, there’s nothing Sie Arcstria, the student council president, can do about it.
「Fufu, there’s no problem regarding that.」
「What do you mean?」
「Because I got Leia-sensei’s permission just a moment ago.」
The president said and turned her gaze towards sensei.
「Well, it sounded interesting. So I just gave the O-K!」
She said and showed a thumbs up.
(I’ve thought of this once before, but…)
I should probably break that rather annoying little thumb after all.
「Haa…」
Even if she is like this…
Even if she is stuck in the director’s office reading manga and not doing any work…
(Unfortunately, she is still the “Director” of Thousand Blade Academy.)
The Director is a decision-making body that is higher than the staff board.
Because she issued permission, an executive election can be held here and now.
(Man… she just does as she pleases as always.)
As I dropped my shoulders dejectedly, sensei spoke with a slightly serious expression.
「From an objective point of view, Sie’s recommendation is exceedingly appropriate, isn’t it? You have an overwhelming swordsmanship skill, as well as a high paperwork skill, and also a lot of consideration for others. Your reputation in the eyes of the world that does not know anything is extremely bad, but… Our staff have a very high assessment of you, and it is probably the same for the students of this academy.」
She took a breath and continued.
「This is a matter for the future, but… Allen will most definitely be the student council president in the third year without a shred of doubt. In other words, it’s not strange for you to be appointed as the vice-president in your second year. Rather, I don’t think there’s any other better choice.」
「E-Even if you say that… I think this kind of thing is something that should be acknowledged by everyone, and not something I alone should decide on.」
The moment I gently tried to turn it down,
「Don’t worry about that, Allen! If it’s you, we have no complains!」
「New Vice-President, Yoroshiku!」
「If you lead Thousand Blade, we’ll become even stronger!」
The students who lined up under the stage pushed for my appointment as vice-president.
It was not a matter of one or two students either.
