A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

132 – Leader, Lead Us (1)

Club week, day 3.

It has already been three days since Naria started waving the Nostrum flag throughout her academy.

“Hey, did you join the club?”

“Uh.”

“Where?”

“Jousting club.”

“What? They say you won’t use your body even if you die.”

“I’m just going to join the blonde green-eyed club before a ghost tells me to join the club, before I’m proven to be a traitor.”

Various voices started coming from all over the academy, and I walked around the academy and listened to those stories.

“Do we even have to split sides with the Empire at Orosol Academy? Haha. If this continues, the students studying abroad in the Empire will create a ‘Thersian Lover Club.'”

“What can we do? This is actually a test for the noble students. Will they stand on their own side? It’s a test for their successors in advance.”

“What happens if international students from Japan join the club?”

“Then Princess Naria becomes a crazy person.”

Most people interpret it seriously.

If you don’t join the club, you are a traitor.

“Aren’t you crazy? You’ll become a traitor if you don’t join the club.”

That’s right.

It’s unreasonable.

The logic that a child would make a fuss about, or the logic of someone who uses force just to ‘win’ socially.

We should start by debating whether this can be called logic in the first place, but unfortunately, that is not the case for the freshmen at Orosol Academy.

“You’re calling me a traitor! Such a coward!”

Nostrum is a country that boasts 500 years of history and tradition.

“I will join, but I do not recognize you, Princess Naria! My joining your club now is simply to prove my loyalty to Nostrum in the name of love and membership!”

No matter how difficult and difficult the current situation is, the kingdom has overcome such difficulties time and time again.

“Why can’t I join the club just because I’m afraid of retirement or something else? Huh! I’ll join as many times as I want! I am the patriot of this country and the hero who will truly lead this country to greatness!”

It is said that everyone admires a hero, but there are only a few who join a club because they feel a sense of aristocratic responsibility and pride in being the descendants of a hero.

‘Most people join because they are pushed by the atmosphere.’

Because I don’t want to be called a traitor.

I don’t want to hear stories like that, even if it’s just a joke.

“I see. Anyway, welcome. “I welcome you.”

“Don’t be mistaken! I, Palwood Roland, wish to fulfill my status as a writer after him!”

“…? It seems like the person has changed-“

“Now, now!! Princess Naria! Let’s go find a new club member! Haha!”

And since Naria came out so blatantly-

“Okay, all I have to do is sign up… ?”

“That’s right. Our club is a club that simply loves Nostrum. As long as you don’t do anything embarrassing to Nostrum, just joining is showing your love for Nostrum.”

“Ah, okay. I will join… I will join, so please don’t call me a traitor… “

“…”

“Well, my family and I have no intention of becoming traitors, we are just powerless local villagers…”

Since we don’t know what Naria will do to those who don’t join later, those who are weak or have no spine have no choice but to cry and eat mustard.

‘To put it bluntly, he is the person who will become king in three years, so if he is just slipping away, I can’t be hateful.’

You don’t want to fall under Naria’s gaze and work for the kingdom like the 12 ministers, but on the other hand, you don’t want to be labeled as a potential traitor by Naria.

“Well, you’re not going to tell your father that you’re not signing up, are you?”

“…”

“Me, Princess Naria?”

“No, just.”

Most of those who came here in the first place were successors around the age of 17.

“If your father asks me, I was just wondering whether I should tell him the truth.”

“Go, I’ll sign up! I’ll just sign up, please… !”

Later, I met the parents of new students at a banquet in the kingdom, and I wondered how the nobleman would feel if he heard, ‘Your child is a traitor.’

‘If the king tells a traitor joke, it becomes true.’

Words have weight.

All humans can express their will with their voices, but the voices of those with a special blood can persecute the will of others.

“Make Nostrum great.”

“No, make Nostrum great…” ” ! Hehe.”

“The voice is small. Make Nostrum great.”

“Make Nostrum great!!”

I said, “I go around the academy every day looking for club members,” And clapped my hands at Naria, who was randomly handing out club membership applications.

‘I don’t know in which direction I will become great.’

Naria knows.

‘If you move strongly, people may rebel.’

That recruiting people who gathered in the square almost by force could cause some degree of backlash.

‘Doing our best for the current nostrum? Unless you go crazy?’

There are no people who truly have the heart to work for the current Nostrum.

‘It’s clear there is an intention.’

If there is someone who approaches it that way, they are nothing more than a future treacherous person and a prospective parasite trying to gain power by targeting a niche market.

If not.

“Wait, do you accept commoners too?!”

“What is your name?”

“Oh, it’s Einstein!”

“I see. Einstein, do you love Nostrum?”

“Yes!”

“Then come in. You are worthy of joining my club.”

A hero that I didn’t recognize or that Nostrum couldn’t find.

‘Discovering, nurturing and nurturing talent. It is a positive function of the academy.’

Unlike the aristocrat-centered society-type academy, more commoners than expected were accepted as new students.

“I will join too.”

“What is your name?”

“My name is Ryan Theislio. This guy here… “

“I’m Payshilling. I just recently became friends with this guy here.”

“A nobleman and a commoner. How did they become friends?”

“I was assigned to a dorm-like room. Thanks to this friend putting aside her status and treating me as an equal…”

“I’m planning to become a knight later. With this physique, why don’t you say you’re going to study medicine?”

Since the academy did not have this system before the regression, more heroes may emerge than expected.

A person with pure heroic talent.

‘It doesn’t matter if you’re not a master. The more talented people there are, the better.’

Or, even if he is not a hero, he is a person with intermediate to advanced abilities equivalent to that of a knight.

“Thank you. For loving Nostrum. “I just hope that you will continue to love me.”

“Nothing much to say. If just joining the club helps the princess, we will do our best to help her. “Our family believes in the princess.”

Such people will join her circle and assist her in her various activities.

And.

“Come in! A country where everyone can be a hero! We will lead Nostrum to greatness! Haha!”

One by one, would-be traitors began to appear around Naria, as if they had already become part of the ‘House Guard’.

Siren. Andy Jefferson.

“Welcome! Hero of the future! “What talent do you have!”

“At least I don’t have the talent to talk loudly like you do.”

“Haha! She’s sharp! As expected, she is the beauty I’ve had my eye on, the Lady of Varnia!!”

“I’m not a lady, I’m just a student, Varnia… ?”

A person with a destructive talent for ventriloquism and voice modulation, earning the notoriety of ‘Voice of a Thousand Voices’.

“Princess. I, Varnia, will join.”

“More than that, are you imitating my voice? What are you doing that is so creepy?”

Haha! It was the same, right? Hehe.”

“Unlucky. It’s really creepy. What is a doppelganger?”

It was the same club as mine.

He was an acquaintance I met at the theater club I was active in during my academy days.

‘I used the acting skills I learned at the academy to deceive with my voice.’

He discovered that he had a talent for acting, but Nostrum was not a place prepared for him to put that talent to use.

Does that mean you are going to the empire?

‘It’s really theater to think that a nobleman becomes a clown in front of rich commoners. The academy club was just a game of imitating commoners.’

Could it be that a noble master who grew up in a baronial family could easily handle the boos coming from the audience at an imperial theater?

‘The family was ruined, and the way to make a living was cut off. Fraud became my way of earning a living.’

Crimes using his voice opened another path for him.

‘It enchants people with its voice and eats them. It was no different from what the ancient monster Siren did.’

It made a huge amount of money, many citizens of the empire were reluctant to make calls on magic phones, and the business of sending money through banks was even stopped for a while.

‘I don’t know yet.’

All he can see now is that he is happy that Naria recognized him and is going around persuading suitable people to become club members.

‘Except for the humans who were black from the beginning, all are still pure white.’

I don’t know if I committed a crime such as killing someone or committing fraud before entering school, and I don’t know what will happen in the future.

Just as the imperial legal community supports the ‘principle of presumption of innocence,’ we cannot recklessly consider a person a criminal based on future information.

If people commit evil acts now and don’t change enough to change the future.

‘People’s roots don’t change.’

Whiteness also depends on the person.

While there are some who maintain their white color even if it gets dirty, there are also countless whites that are dyed or mixed with others.

‘I will watch.’

Among the numerous talents that begin to gather one by one near Naria, the moment when I am confident that the future blacks will be black this time as well as before the return.

‘Everyone is headed to the empire.’

The hand of a black shadow extending from the shadow of the empire will reach towards them.

With silver.

And I have no obligation to protect them.

Rather.

I have to sell them.

‘All people who are likely to do bad things are sent to the empire as students.’

The moment people like Boyce Fisher become the trash of the future, they will put the trash in bags, package it, box it up, and sell it to the empire as treasure.

‘Why did you send this guy? You can’t say that. When you go abroad to study, you will probably think that you are a very capable person, with hero-like talent.’

If they say there is a kickback for sending me to study abroad, I will keep some of that money.

There is a club created for that purpose.

‘There is no reason why international students cannot form a club.’

A club that I encouraged to create, is scheduled to be created, and is bound to be created considering the purpose of Orosol Academy.

“Chairman. Did you hear that?”

“What.”

“An alchemy club has been created.”

The Imperial Club is comprised of only 9 international students from the Empire.

* * *

“It’s difficult.”

“It’s difficult.”

Late in the evening, while eating together with Astacia, we sighed at the same time.

“It’s good that you decided to create an alchemy club, but I didn’t expect that all 9 people would end up in the same club.”

“Have separate instructions been given to the parties involved?”

“No. It was something they decided on their own. Instead, they asked me to join their club? They said they would give me the position of president right away.”

“How did you do it?”

“Of course I refused! Some Naaap chairman forced me into the club he created.”

“Didn’t you even try to come in and help someone?”

“Yes. That’s it.”

I thought at least one person would stick to Astasia’s side like a leech, but it seems that’s not the case.

“I guess you trust me that much. Seeing as Astasia doesn’t have an escort even though she’s alone in a foreign country.”

“The people at the top believe in Gray Gibraltar, and those below them believe in something else, right?”

“Who is it? Astasia?”

“Um, I don’t know. The people of Nostrum… ? Hehe.”

Suddenly.

From noble mtl dot come

Astasia cut the steak with a knife in one go.

“Anyway, about the club. Everyone is in trouble because of Naria’s stubbornness of her. I can’t stop it, and I don’t have any intention of doing so.”

“Aren’t you worried about the club becoming too divided into factions?”

“Yes. Especially…”

“Especially?”

“You know, Vice President Bathory. I don’t think he would like having international students as researchers… Hmm. Club members.”

Bathory Erzsebet.

I haven’t heard the story yet, but how would I react if I heard that all members of the alchemy club were students studying abroad in the Empire?

“It feels like the sides were clearly divided from the beginning…”

“Astacia. It’s okay. As time passes, the relationship between the kingdom and the empire will break down, but the real division of sides begins now.”

“Eh… ? Doesn’t something sound strange?”

“It’s nothing strange. Isn’t this Orosol Academy an academy created with concepts that don’t exist in the kingdom, but exist in the empire?”

There is one case where the concept or position exists, but the ‘process’ is completely different.

“As this is an academy and a place of learning, the opinions of faculty and staff cannot always take precedence in the operation of the academy.”

“…”

“Are you really not asking that?”

“No way.”

Astasia pointed at herself with a fork.

“You’re not trying to get me to run for office, are you?”

“No way.”

“…Then?”

“You are free to run for office. And honestly, it doesn’t matter who you become. Be it Naria, Noir, or…”

I tapped the floor with my foot.

“Whether you are an international student from the empire.”

What?

“Student representative… The position of student council president is open to anyone.”

Academy, student council president.

“The student council budget is all supported by the Gorge Foundation, and the operation and processing of this budget is all up to the student council members. “I only provide blind money and inspect it regularly.”

An ultra-luxurious student council with an allocated budget of approximately hundreds of millions of won per quarter.

“A club is just a club. Who gets the student council seat? That’s the fun part. Princess.”

The student council is held through ‘elections.’

“What would happen if a commoner with no connections suddenly beat the princess, the guardian of the canyon, and the powerful person of the empire to become the student representative?”

“…Hero?”

“Maybe so. Maybe not.”

“What are you aiming for?”

“Well, if I may say so,”

Whether the club takes sides.

No matter who becomes the student council president.

“I want to see whether or not they are working sincerely in a place that is selling money to play games.”

My goal is to find those who embezzle or enrich their own wallets at the academy, which can be said to be run with national taxes.

“While others are looking for student representatives, I am looking for future criminals.”

A bowl that leaks in the kingdom, won’t it leak if you go to the empire?

“So… “

“If I were to run for student council president-“

“I won’t stop you, but you will have less time with me.”

“Then I won’t be able to go out. It’s a shame.”

“…”

Before regression.

“Then who will be the student council president?”

The person who consistently came in first place in the student council president election was the same person for all three years until I graduated.

“Well, if the princess runs, she will definitely be elected, but the process will be very difficult.”

Her name was Astasia von Tersian.

“Do the Kingdom understand the concept of a representative chosen by one person, one vote?”

1st place in votes.

However, she is not the student council president, but the vice president.

The student council president was always second in votes, and many nobles forced him to run for office and become the student council president, saying, ‘You should work for us.’

Guardian of nobles.

Just because he was the successor to a hero and a future hero, the student council president before his return he should have been in charge of the academy student council for all three years.

“Then… Naria?”

“We’ll have to wait and see. Who will be the student council president? It’s not just nobles, there are also many commoners.”

It wasn’t Naria.

“Maybe…”

And.

“Because the composition of the student body has changed so much that it cannot be compared to the general case, the student council president who was originally scheduled to enroll may not have been able to enroll.”

History will also change.

“So, I’m also very curious. Who will be the student council president?”

Sincerely.

“No matter who it is, I think I can give great advice.”

Student Council.

Before regression.

Except for the vice-student president, everyone was a traitor.
