After school at the Imperial Academy of Magic, Melchi and Will left the teaching building where they were and went straight to the teaching building for the lower grade freshmen.
Because the original plan to seek help from their student union fell through.
Since the student council president of their time was the intended aide of Marquis Roberto Bardot, whom Granbell had a relationship with, he was considered to be included in Granbell's sphere of influence.
But, having said that, is it really useful to go to the student union for this kind of thing?
Generally speaking, it will be useful. If you can become the student council president in the magic academy, you can gain a certain basis of sphere of influence regardless of whether you are a noble or not. As long as solving the problem does not conflict with your interests, troublesome things can usually be solved.
solve.
Of course, it was just a common troublesome matter. Melchi and Will would not have thought that behind the incident there were a lot of tree fairies who had blended into human society.
In fact, in the ecology of the indigenous tree fairies, there is a habit of using spiritual magic directly on those who are not companions or friendly. In the past, Penny Xun, the indigenous tree fairy, basically did this. She was the one who led the monsters to run amok.
It is an important means of survival in the forest, and it is also a means that most humans cannot deal with.
But even though he couldn't imagine, let alone know, those things, Will also understood that the channels for information were money and life. As a commoner, he wanted to survive in a place surrounded by nobles, and it was necessary to have well-informed information. In fact, he also made full use of various
Various news, buying and selling favors with students from small aristocrats, maintaining a not bad relationship, in order to lay some foundation for the future, they can do some small things with a little help.
However, these relationships, which are not bad, will not work if Granbell is not happy and uses spiritual magic to fool her face.
But Will at least found out that the name of this student council president is Sophia, a single name, a type of name that nobles would not use even if they have a pseudonym. It is said that he is also a prospective disciple of Fluder Paradine, with the great magic chanter
The asylum seeker should be safe and can talk about it.
Will knocked on the door, and Melchi saw that he was shaking even with this movement, which made her even more worried.
There's nothing we can do about it. If we are constantly attacked by unknown forces in school (the two of them are too low-level to understand the magic of the Tree Fairy), everyone will have a mental breakdown sooner or later.
"Who is it? Come in." A female voice that was obviously more immature came from inside.
"Will, you are too nervous. I will talk about it later." Melchi said.
"Ah." Will felt a little ashamed that he was still worried about his childhood sweetheart, but he also knew that he was not in good condition, and his innate ability made him have to be careful when exercising social etiquette in the academy, otherwise he might get into big trouble.
Melchi opened the door and led Will in. What came face to face was a face with a kind smile, a smile that made people feel close to each other, but Melchi still felt a little artificial.
"That's a professional smile," Melchi thought, "but does this appearance mean..."
"Are they seniors? Don't say anything? Why are you here here? Just to take a look at me? Because I look like a southerner?" Sophia laughed.
"Yes, more or less... It is also very (Will: "Ahem!") difficult for southerners to live in the imperial aristocratic circle..."
For a moment, Melchi realized that she seemed to have said the wrong thing because of Will's fake cough. She immediately changed her words: "We are fully aware of this."
"Haha." Sophia chuckled, "Since we are all civilians, there is no need to continue to use diplomatic rhetoric. I am Sophia, please give me your advice." After saying that, she stood up and extended her hand.
"That's it! It's really hard for Will to establish good relations with some nobles who pay attention to etiquette." Melchi thought to herself, shaking hands is usually done with the right hand, and Will's right hand has some "problems". Once in his entrance test
I broke my shared wand and got into trouble.
"Oh, I am Melchie Varya, and he is Will Clery. Please take good care of me in the future."
"Please take care of me."
Melchi made the introduction, took Sofia's hand, and Will also bowed slightly.
"So, what's the matter?" Sophia asked as she sat back in her seat.
"About this..." Melchi briefly explained the matter.
Until the narration was finished, the room was silent for a long time before it was broken by Sophia: "...Really?"
"I feel ashamed to say it, but I want to take advantage of the positions and connections that the younger generation gained through their own excellence," Melchi said.
"Although it's not impossible -" Sophia paused, raised her hand and said, "After all, the purpose of us commoners coming to this academy is not to confront the nobles, right? If you ask me, based on the results I get, I will do it
Make a choice that is more beneficial to me."
In other words, it is possible to betray their intentions.
"how come!"
Before Melqi finished speaking, Will gently held her shoulders and shook her head. Will understood that Sophia's choice was the right one. Originally, coming here was just a struggle.
Sofia raised her clasped hands to support her chin, and said, "Let me consider telling you some additional news. Before that - do you know that I am Mr. Fluder's prospective disciple?"
The two of them nodded silently. Just the somewhat arrogant first name of "Teacher Fluder" can explain a lot of problems. If you call him that without permission, you are either crazy or seeking death.
Sophia nodded and continued: "As a quasi-disciple of the teacher, I also know that when the teacher is immersed in research at the Tower of Mysteries... what he says next may be something that someone in the know can use to shake the foundation of the empire.
Do you want to continue listening?"
"No, it's better not to listen." Will immediately put out his hand to stop.
"Eh?" Melchi turned around in confusion.
In short, there is a high risk of arrest if he is involved, and he may get into more troublesome situations, and there is no guarantee of being assassinated. It is a secret of that level. Will must have understood this before refusing.
.
But wouldn't it be strange for the student council president to know these things? But if it's true, it means that Sophia is already on the opposite side.
Because of this, Melchi believes that it is still necessary to listen. There is no one to turn to, and even if everything is broken, more information must be obtained to make future judgments.
"I... just go and ask him face to face what he wants to do with my right hand. I'm interrupting your work, so I'll take my leave." Will bowed again, pulled Melchi away and left, feeling that Sofia even had
After helping the other person feel better, he didn't want to stay any longer.
After the two left, not long after, the door opened by itself, and Crounpis broke into the student union room unceremoniously and threw himself on the table: "Star, did you solve it with words?"
