5 Their story: A certain judiciary’s story
The history of the schools titled the Four Great Acade at the imperial festival is a very old one
At the time they weren’t even called the Four Great Academies, it was just that they were invited to the imperial festival simply because they were located close to the imperial capital
But perhaps it was because they consistently appeared on one of the greatest stages in the erow incredibly quickly, and later on they would be called the empire’s Four Great Acadearded as the best place for commoners to try to turn their lives around, and for nobles, a chance to create connections, and that reputation remained true even today
Because of that, one of the ees would participate in the acadeesture that all schools would engage in a clean and fair contest
But unlike the nice intentions, right noas pretty much just a decoration
“No, this time we need to increase the number of individual events to demonstrate individual skills!”
“No, we need more team events that fit better with the spirit of teamithin acadereatest, and Marcis that was hot on their tails
The two student council presidents fro back and forth that their opinions were right
Even if they taught the usage of spears, maces and all sorts of various weapons, the weapon that the majority of students used in Arucis was the sword
And naturally their individual skills will be better, and are overwhelly superior in individual events where they were not surrounded by enemies
And with that specialty in mind, of course Arucis would be the beneficiary of an increased number of individual events
On the other hand, in Marcis’ and Yugrasia’s cases, they were the schools ofrespectively so they were better at teaiant fight between Arucis ants more individual events, and the other academies that wanted more team events
And since the teachers that were there for advice and supervision were of the same mind as the students, of course they wouldn’t stop thees have the bloody annoying task of htly on the back foot due to uments between students that were all here to secure favourable conditions for the to deal with
And once everything is over, we’re always the ones to bla!
If it’s the majority opinion, Arucia always coainst them!
And if we listen to Arucia then the other schools coe in attendance is biased in favour of Arucis!
Since we get cothan this!
But at my seniors’ words that someone had to continue with this tradition someone had to be a sacrifice, and this year’s sacrifice was me!
damn it, just next year and my name would be closer to the top of the list than the bottom and I wouldn’t have had to do this shi+t!
I just had to survive this year, why the hell did I get pulled up in my last year!
As I whined about my life I looked at the two student council presidents that were staring daggers at each other
…Hang on? Two?
“Does the representative of Yugrasia have no opinion to put forward?”
I realised that sorasia, the academy that was called the weakest of the current Four Great Academies
Thanks to that, I heard that their student council president was ordered to gain ames even more than the other schools
But even while Arucia and Marcis was fighting, he was yawning as if to say he had nothing to do with all this?
‘Hrasia’s position in the imperial festival was perennially third
If we considered the fact that Mercaria, a school that had nothing to do with fighting was also included in those rankings that rasia was basically always last
And as if rasia’s student president yawned and nodded to me
“It doesn’t matter what kind of events are on”
A complete declaration of surrender
Suicians before the brought out their suy so far was to aim for team events, and in particular the ones that went on for extended periods of ti up on the irasia got an overhaul this year, did nothing happen even after you guys changed things?”
As if I wasn’t the only one thinking that, Arucia’s student president said to Yugrasia’s student president in aat his expression, it was filled with expectations of having eous to Arucia this year
“Really? Are you giving up just like that?”
In contrast, Marcis’s student council president looked nervous
Marcis and Yugrasia’s combat methods were sied to earn ht now Yugrasia had given up!
Marcis had already been losing the title of the strongest acade the gap, it could grow even further at this rate!
Unlike in previous years, this ti situation
This moment could decide the future of the Four Great Acade point in history!
And as I expected, this place was an important moment in the history of the Four Great Acadeh it wasn’t Arucia or Marcis at the center of it!
And the voice that told us all of that was that of the indifferent Yugrasia student council president
“Well, we’re going to win either way, so what does it uys want to do”
“What?”
“Did I just hear right?”
For a moment there, it felt like the entire room froze over
Even Mercaria’s student council president, that up til now had been quietly watching everything unfold, stared at the Yugrasia student council president as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing
That was a natural reaction
A declaration of victory of all things
Not even Yugrasia at its peak had ever ht noas the tie, and a declaration of victory at this tiht you weren’t one to make empty boasts”
Everyone nodded at the Arucia student council president’s words
No rasia was at its weakest
But the reason why that the other acaderasia despite this was because of their student council
From the president nicknamed the elemental army, the Trickster, the vice-president named the Queen of the Skies!
And even the others, the secretary, the treasurer were all people that couldn’t sirunt ere all na
And the one as judged to have superior situational awareness and leadershi+p aher than the presidents of other schools, the Yugrasia student council president made such a declaration?
“Empty boast? I simply said the truth?”
But the expression on the face of the Yugrasia student council president was all too indifferent
