The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

Chapter 207

Youngest person wishing to retire (2)

“Mr. Chairman, the reagent manufacturing club belonging to the Pensions Department sent me a gift. It is a tool that puts scented candles in a glass bottle and continuously emits scent with a magic flame. It smells really good! I will leave one in the office!”

“Beros, the former student council president, said he was proud and sent me a top-of-the-line magic wand as a gift. Shall I instruct him to bring it to his private room?”

“The academic affairs headquarters has given instructions that the status report update cycle can be set a bit loosely. I guess the policy has been set so as not to interfere with the president’s work.”

“The merchants’ association in the living area also sent various refreshments and decorations as gifts. There was no room in the Obel Hall warehouse, so we left them in the hallway. Shall we just hand them out to the student members?”

“The Tog Magic Society sent me a message appreciating my hard work. They said they were grateful for my great contribution to magic research… I guess I benefited greatly from the policy of sharing the results of my previous undergraduate research.”

Tanya walked down the hallway of the Ovel Hall with a bloodshot face.

The reports submitted by the various student secretaries who followed Tanya were all about the gifts they had sent to impress the great president.

“Oh, that’s right. I have uploaded a list of student suggestions! They say it should be processed by tomorrow, so please review and approve!”

“They say the disciplinary committee improvement plan requested by the academic affairs headquarters last time has been finalized! If you have any comments, please organize them and send us the documents!”

“In the afternoon, you have to go out to encourage the workers at the Lorail Hall! They say the site on that side is ready to welcome them, so all we have to do is tell them the schedule. How can we set time?!”

Of course, there were more than just a few things about work.

After being tormented by the secretaries for a while, Tanya entered the office and sank into the seat.

“…”

This silence has now become more precious than a thousand gold.

Unless I’m falling asleep at night, I’m in a position to listen to reports until my ears bleed.

Even at this moment, the student council work is going on without even a moment’s notice.

“You can’t just stay like this…”

It must have been his dream to become Sylvania’s student council president and become someone who is universally recognized.

Only now did Tanya feel tired.

“If I keep going like this… I’ll end up becoming the student council president for life…!”

Even if you are a representative of a group, it makes no sense to say that there are no opposing forces.

It is natural for someone to oppose and conflict with the person currently sitting as student president and try to shake up the support group, but Tanya strangely received the support of all the students.

I had to step forward in a more earnest way. We must provide space for forces that are more likely to rebel against us to act.

However, I wonder if there are people who become victims in the process. I want to prevent people from causing trouble, but I want to make sure that no one gets harmed unreasonably.

…Unfortunately, there was no one around Tanya to tell her that such a thing was not possible.

“…”

Tanya took a deep breath… and sharpened her gaze at the corner of the office.

If the world turned out like this, I wouldn’t sit still. What happened like this is a complete riot.

That’s what I promised myself.

The next day, Tanya headed to the Ofilis Hall.

Ofilis Hall is Sylvania’s highest-class dormitory and must maintain its dignity, and the maids who manage it work with great pride in that fact.

First, scratch that pride. In the name of investing in student welfare, they are cutting the funds invested in Ofilis Hall and even criticizing the fact that Ofilis Hall seems to have been negligent in student management these days.

“That’s definitely true. I was aware that the Ofilis building seemed to have been negligent in manpower management. As expected, you were able to see through it to some extent. As you pointed out, I will come up with an improvement plan and report it. Miss Tanya.”

“…yes?”

However, the head maid, Belle Maia, did not look offended and instead showed an attitude of self-respect and bowed her head to Tanya.

“Ofilis Hall had a particularly strong tendency to receive special treatment among the facilities within the university. Of course, it is a place that requires a lot of special support as it involves reappointment, but that does not mean that discipline should be relaxed. Thank you for your timely advice.”

“…Ah, yes…”

However, the maid, who already had a friendly relationship with Ed Rosstaylor and knew Tanya’s true nature well, couldn’t have tried to create a confrontation.

Rather, it served as an opportunity for self-reflection and solidification of internal human resources management.

Tanya looked dumbfounded, but eventually led the student secretaries to the Trix building.

When Tanya, the student council president, suddenly announced that she was coming, Vice Principal Rachel appeared in person at Trix Building to greet her. Tanya looked dumbfounded as she wondered if the vice principal would come out while she was dealing with a student, but the Trix building paid no attention to it and treated her with the utmost respect.

“Recently, the Elte Chamber of Commerce has been showing a very limited response to academic affairs. I heard that the policy of inclusion at the student council level has been largely effective.”

Vice Principal Rachel looked at Tanya and spoke with a satisfied expression on her face.

“I hope that he will continue to play a big role as a bridge connecting the academic and commercial societies. It is safe to say that there has not been a student council president who has achieved so much integration and inclusion since the opening of Sylvania.”

“Uh… Vice Principal Rachel… I’m none other than suggesting a reduction in research funds for the faculty…”

“Hmm… you mean research funds? It’s clear that performance relative to funds hasn’t been efficient in recent years. Researchers “I’m going to submit the cutback plan to the academic headquarters to improve discipline. Principal Obel might be against it.”

“Then… Principal Obel might not be in a good mood…! The research staff will also really dislike it…!”

When Tanya said this while snorting, Vice Principal Rachel thought deeply and answered that she would.

“We must proceed! Since funds are being drained from research without results… it is right to invest in student welfare…!”

With such a strong push, Tanya was able to get Rachel’s confirmation.

The next day, an answer came back from the academic headquarters to the student council.

? ‘It was surprisingly easily passed since the current student council president personally suggested it. Researchers also reported that with the passage of this cut, they will correct themselves for forgetting the meaning of academics and becoming lazy, and reflect on their efforts to produce more meaningful results for the development of magic.’

? ‘You were broadening your horizons not only in student management but also in the Trix Building faculty and staff. This is truly amazing, Tanya Rosstaylor. It must not have been easy just to fulfill your duties as student council president, so I would like to sincerely commend you for your hard work.’

“why why why!”

Tanya screamed, tearing her head out of her office desk.

“This week, you went around Lorail Hall to encourage faculty and staff, voluntarily inspected the operating status and internal stability of Ofilis Hall, and even reviewed the performance of research professors. In fact, don’t you enjoy being president?”

“I’m just the student council president! It’s clearly an act of overreach! Why aren’t you offended?”

“This is such a scary thing about people’s image. In the larger view, it ends up being an external activity to increase student welfare funds.”

Ziggs Eiffelstein wiped his longsword with a rag, grabbed a student secretary, and gave various instructions.

Most of them were related to preparations for the integrated sparring event to be held in late fall. As a member of the executive committee, Ziggs was in charge of securing the location and managing communications.

“You have to go to the student meeting you called in the afternoon. It won’t be too late to start preparing after eating.”

“This is what happened… How about abolishing the privileges of the top students in each grade?! The top students in each grade are people who are widely supported by the students, right? If we go against such people, wouldn’t the opposition be gathered?!”

“Look at the faces of the principals. Wade Calamore, Lucy Mayril, Ed Rothtaylor, Dyke Elphelan. Don’t you recognize them just by hearing their names?”

Ed Rosstaylor is Tanya’s older brother, and Dyke Elphelan is a student member.

Lucy Mayril would completely follow Ed Rothtaylor’s opinion, so it was safe to say that the majority was already pro-Tanya.

“Why is my support so strong…!”

“…Is that what you’re going to say with such a desperate expression?”

“Isn’t there some reason to be hostile to the Elte Upper Corridor?! How about… taking advantage of exclusive rights to some items?”

“Anyway, most items are clearly stipulated in the contract without any controversy… Also, as long as Senior Ed remains a pro-student union faction, it will not be easy to establish a confrontation with Elte Company.”

“Eh…”

Here it was Ed Rosstaylor again. First of all, it was correct to assume that as long as it received support from Ed Ross Taylor, it also had a support relationship with Elte Trading Company.

“What about the royal family? If we go to the royal residence where Princess Fenia lives and ask for something like a scholarship stipend… wouldn’t that be taken as an insult to the royal family?”

“Isn’t Princess Fenia already stuck with the Rosstaylor family? It would be better for her to quit. Then, if she succeeds in getting even a few gold coins, support for the bachelor’s side will be strengthened.”

“Why does when you stab this side, that side becomes stronger, and when you stab that side, this side becomes stronger!”

“It’s difficult for you to ask me.”

Tanya wasn’t going to give up here. I repeatedly gritted my teeth and shook my head to try to come up with something.

“The Church! They are complaining about the tithes being collected by the Church of Telos as unreasonable! The issue of religion is literally the most sensitive part!”

“Well… Senior Ed must have already confirmed the faction of the Telos Church. First of all, Saint Clarice is completely pro-student council faction.”

“Huh?! Saint Clarice supports me? Why?!”

Tanya does not know that Kylie Ekne and Saint Clarice are the same person.

Ed Rosstaylor and Tanya Rosstaylor. Expecting hostility from Clarice, who has completely favorable feelings toward the two, is a choice that is closer to self-defeating.

“Well… I wonder if senior Ed’s part was involved…”

“How many bodies does your brother have?!”

“It’s difficult for you to ask me.”

Tanya sat down again in the chairman’s chair. He stroked his face a few times and made a sound like he was dying.

“I can’t run away… I can’t run away… I have to be tied to this magical position of student council president forever…”

“That… President Tanya.”

“…yes?”

“… You must sign the Dex building budget decision…”

Tanya quickly raised her head. Dex Hall’s operating budget decision for this semester.

The budget plan, which had to be approved by the student body president before being handed over to the academic affairs headquarters, was roughly 147 pages long.

“Please review it within an hour so I can eat and attend the afternoon meeting.”

Tanya looked at Ziggs as if pleading for her life, but Ziggs’ answer was bound to be similar.

“It’s embarrassing for you to do that to me.”

*

“Oh, Tanya. Why are you so sore? Are you so tired from work?”

It was a few minutes before the afternoon meeting began that Tanya met Ed Rosstaylor for the first time in a long time.

As soon as I ran into Ed Ross Taylor in the hallway before entering the small conference room… Tanya was in tears.

All of the children from noble families who had gathered under the chairmanship of student council president Tanya were sitting in the small conference room of Glokt Hall.

When they return to their territory, they are treated with respect by their vassals and rule like kings, but at Sylvania Academy, the land of learning, they are just students.

The student council president, Tanya, whose momentum seemed to have skyrocketed recently, had called her personally, so everyone had been sitting around waiting for fifteen minutes.

Looking at the faces of the people sitting, they were all students from noble families who were famous in their grade.

There were a few students who were not from noble families, but most of them were involved in the current competition for imperial power.

1 Grade.

Wade Calamore. Josef Whitefeltz. Aig Rokin. Delus Ainsheaven.

Saint Clarice could not be summoned by the authority of the student council president alone.

2nd grade.

Ziggs Eiffelstein Clevious Nortondale Elvira Anniston Elka Islan.

Likewise, it was impossible to summon Princess Fenia directly.

3rd year.

Ed ross taylor fabri ginipale drake rages clara daniel heim.

Grade 4.

Dyke Elphelan Dorothy Whitefeltz Tracyana Bloom River Except for Ziggs and Clara, who moved to the dormitory on their own, they are all VIPs who are using the Ofilis building.

In addition, there are many children from various noble families attending Sylvania, but if we were to select the students in each grade who would be most affected by this competition for imperial power, this would be roughly the number.

The rest were either children of peripheral aristocratic families or people who had difficulty having any significant influence on the competition for imperial power.

This place, where so many famous noble families gather together, is an uncomfortable place for everyone. This is a place where you cannot act carelessly.

Everyone was just sitting quietly waiting for Tanya, who presided over the meeting, to enter.

“He’s been busy walking around these days, and it’s nice to see that he seems to be absorbed in his work as president. I’m too busy trying to survive, remodeling the cabin, and managing my grades, so I don’t get to see him often.”

On the other hand, in the hallway, Ed and Tanya were seeing each other for the first time in a long time.

For Ed, it was a very happy reaction.

In fact, Ed Rosstaylor was very popular within the academy, but there were very few people who received such a sincere welcome from him.

No matter how favorable the relationship, Ed Rothtaylor always maintains the minimum line.

Could it be that the reason they treat each other so flawlessly is because there is still a strange sense of intimacy that comes from being blood-mixed?

Some people might envy Tanya for being treated so flawlessly by Ed, but Tanya herself only spoke seriously with a bloodshot face.

“Onii-sama, please save me…”

“…What?”

“I… that…”

Tanya trailed off as she thought about what to say. This is because it was difficult to figure out how to proceed.

I appreciate you raising Ross Taylor’s prestige high and always working hard, but can you do it in moderation?

It’s a bit absurd to even say that. Ed just worked hard in his own way, and Tanya was Ross Taylor’s next successor before he was the student council president in the first place. It is not appropriate to tell someone with that status to work hard enough.

“…What? Are you in trouble?”

“Well… if I were to explain it… it’s a bit complicated…”

“Tell me. Don’t worry about it alone.”

I felt like tears of gratitude came to my eyes when I saw Ed actively expressing his willingness to help… but in fact, most of the cause of the problem was Ed himself.

However, blaming Ed was ridiculous and Tanya was going crazy.

“Do you have anything to do with convening this meeting?”

“yes?”

“I was a bit curious about your intentions when you suddenly summoned only noble children.”

“Oh no… this is a completely separate issue.”

Tanya shook her head and spoke clearly to Ed.

“From now on, I think I will have a war of nerves with Princess Selaha. Before and after the integrated sparring planned for this semester.”

Tanya was always crying and suffering, but she had clearly made plans for the future.

No matter how much she complains, she is always clear about her course of action.

“Before that, you need to have insurance in place to avoid unnecessary repercussions.”

“insurance?”

“The competition for imperial power is a competition for imperial power, and a bachelor’s degree is a bachelor’s… I was planning to announce it to everyone.”

Only then was Ed Rosstaylor able to read Tanya’s intentions.

If we want to catch Princess Selaha, who is pursuing the most active policy of opposing the Rosstaylor family, we must lay the groundwork now.

If Tanya, from the Rosstaylor duchy, takes the lead and begins to confront Princess Selaha… the family that supports Princess Selaha will not remain silent.

It was obvious that the aftermath of the conflict would also affect Sylvania Academy, so they planned to take preemptive action to alleviate it to some extent.

The imperial family’s political struggle is political strife, and we must practice the virtue of learning in our own way.

Let’s not bring the imperial political strife to Sylvania, the land of learning. It is disrespectful to this academic land to disturb the academic atmosphere with pointless factional fights.

I was thinking of conveying words to that effect to everyone.

“Will it turn out as you think?”

Ed expressed skepticism. Of course, it was the same with Tanya.

“But we can’t help it. I don’t want to see Sylvania split in half because of the competition for imperial power.”

Tanya slowly closed her eyes and spoke.

“During this integrated sparring, Princess Selaha will also come to Sylvania as an observer. Active members of the Imperial Knights and the Magic Research Society will also come to see the students’ skills. Among them, there will be some who will spar with the students in person. “It’s in the name of teaching a lesson to students who will be responsible for the future of the country.”

It is not easy for students to defeat knights and wizards currently serving in the imperial court.

Although it is truly unusual for students to appear with skills comparable to those on active duty, they are at least compared to ordinary active duty people.

Among those currently in service, the highest-ranking imperial personnel who remain legendary… are literally on a different level. If someone like Knight Commander Dylux or the President of the Imperial Magic Society appears, they will never be a match for the students.

Of course, this is when Lucy Mayril is left out of the discussion.

“I have some plans in place for that time. Although they have not yet materialized, I think I can see a way to deal a meaningful blow to Princess Selaha’s position.”

From Ed Rosstaylor’s perspective, there is no reason to stop him.

Princess Persica was appeased, and Princess Fenia was an ally from the beginning.

From his perspective, his goal is to be able to station the imperial army on Aken Island when Bellbroke descends… If he can somehow get rid of the last variable, Princess Selaha, all his worries will disappear.

When it comes to removing that last variable… you are in a position where you have to roll up your sleeves and help.

“Yes. If you have any concerns, please tell me right away. I will help you in any way possible.”

“Worried… worried…”

“…are you really worried about something? You’ve always looked like you’ve been crying since a while ago.”

“…I really feel like I’m going to die, brother…”

Tanya finally spoke, unable to hold back her death.

“As the head of the family, it is difficult to take responsibility for the family, but I want to step down from the position of student council president…” She

finally said…

Tanya took a deep breath as if she had accomplished something big and continued talking to Ed.

“If I keep going like this, I might die from overwork… I… I want to stop being the student council president…”

“…”

“Ugh… But… Even if I try to look at it, I interpret it in a strange way and the support group But no matter how hard we tried to get together and start an argument, Brother Ed blocked it all…” “…

”

“Actually, I’m tired of being the head of the family. I told you this last time. It seems like you just overlooked it, but I was sincere in my own way. “When the family becomes somewhat stable… I just… want to retire… ugh…”

Then Tanya suddenly grabbed both of Ed’s hands tightly and spoke as if she was begging him earnestly.

“This is what happened… When everything is finished, can’t Brother Ed spread some gossip about me? Something like that… You know, when I was at the Ross Taylor mansion, I had a bad temper or something like that! In fact, in the first semester, I told my brother, Since he acted like he was going to kill me, there must be a few scenes that can be used as a basis for it!”

“If I go around gossiping about my younger brother, won’t my image get worse before yours?”

“How much of a blow would it be to label someone like me as an ugly person?”

“You… I don’t know if you realize it, but you already have a lot of support within the academy… At this point, it’s starting to become a burden for me as well.”

“Why! Why! Why are you doing that!”

“…”

Ed lowered his gaze for a moment and then spoke sheepishly.

“You are already in a position to receive support through convergence from the academic side, the upper chamber, the church, and even the royal family’s quarters. They say this is the first time in Sylvania’s history… In fact, from the bachelor’s point of view, you have risen to an irreplaceable position.”

“…”

“If you quit as president now, the academic department will suffer a lot of damage… I won’t let that happen…”

Tanya let go of both of Ed’s hands with a blood-stained face. And he waved his head with both hands, not caring that his beautifully organized blonde hair was disheveled.

“Well… then…! There is no way out! Then how on earth should I…!”

– Boom!

At that moment, the door to the small conference room opened as if to see.

Inside, all kinds of noble children were sitting together waiting for Tanya.

“Are you here!!! Chairman Tanya!!!!!”

“I was waiting for you!! Come eat inside!!!!!”

Student council members shouting with respect in a loyal tone. He bent his back 90 degrees and bowed politely.

Only the middle seat was empty. Everyone was just waiting for Tanya with respect.

Tanya felt tears welling up in her eyes.
