A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 114 – Noble Academy Student Council, ‘Bless’

At Royal Academy, the student council exists to support the activities of the cadets and ensure their rights.

Someone here calls the Royal Academy students, so isn’t it correct to call it student council? There was someone who asked.

The Royal Academy responded that they were just calling the student council to keep the tradition since it was a term that had been used since long ago when the words cadet and student were used interchangeably.

So, what kind of student council is there in the academy where the cadets go? The word did not come.

If someone insists, “It’s a tradition of the Royal Academy,” It’s over.

Noble Academy also had a student council, but it was a very different organization from the Royal Academy student council.

The student council at Noble Academy did not operate under the name of ‘Student Council’, but under the name of ‘Bless’.

Compared to other organizations and clubs that operate under simple names such as ‘~organization’ and ‘~club’, what kind of existence they are has already been revealed in their activities with their own names.

On the surface, it was known that it was to promote the rights and convenience of students attending Noble Academy.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason, and in reality, it would be more accurate to reveal their identity to say that they are a power institution wielding unrestricted power standing over the heads of students under the protection of professors.

At the entrance of the student council room used by Noble Academy’s student council, ‘BLESS’, the word ‘BLESS’ plated in gold was hung on the embossed pattern.

There was a large round table inside the student council room, and at the center of the round table was a nameplate representing each member’s affiliation.

And in the chairs behind the nameplate, department heads representing each department were sitting and having a conversation.

All the chairs at the round table seemed to have met their owners, but only one chair was empty.

The chair was the most splendid among those placed around the round table.

“Chairman is coming.”

When a student standing by the door said that the student council president was coming in, the people who were sitting and chatting stopped talking and stood up all at once.

After a while, the door opened and a nobleman with flowing blonde hair appeared.

There was only one difference between the male student and the other students, who was wearing the same uniform as the other students.

That was the golden symbol on the coat of the school uniform.

This symbol of a lion roaring with its mouth open was impressive, and only the student council president of Noble Academy, Bless, could wear it.

In other words, this blonde nobleman was the head of Bless and the representative of Noble Academy’s students.

“Come on, everybody, have a seat. Why do you stand up every time I come? Make people uncomfortable…….”

The blonde-haired scion walked through the door, saw all the department heads up to greet him, smiled and told him to sit down.

However, even though his mouth was smiling, his eyes were looking at the head of the department who stood up, and his eyes were sharp, like a hawk hunting its prey.

After the student council president sat down, the department heads of each department took their seats.

“Then, shall we start the meeting before the start of the new semester?”

“Yes, Chairman.”

With the president’s words, a full-scale student meeting was about to begin.

“Everyone should know that. New professors joined a few days ago, and new faces also joined our Noble Academy. Enrique?”

When the president called the name Enrique, the male student sitting behind the plaque reading “Leadership” Stood up.

He was very tall and had a well-developed skeleton, and he was a man with a sense of intimidation that made the viewer lose the will to fight.

“Yes, Chairman. A total of 478 students enrolled this semester. Among them, seven stood out in particular during the entrance exam.”

“Oh, yes? Will there be seven jockeys this time?”

The chairman showed great interest in the fact that there are seven freshmen who stood out in this season.

“Yes, it is. Among them, the most noteworthy is…….”

“As expected, it must be that gray hair, right?”

The chairman mentioned the white-haired freshman as if he knew everything.

In this season, there was only one freshman with white hair.

That was Adalbert Rainmed.

“Yes. At the time of the entrance examination, all the freshmen except him were attacked by the supervisor’s surprise attack, but he was different.”

“Really? I only heard it roughly, but how did you do it specifically so that you can be called great?”

“Yes. The freshman didn’t just dodge the supervisor’s attack, he cut off the supervisor’s sword with a wooden sword.”

“Really?”

The chairman seemed very surprised by Enrique’s words.

As for why he was surprised, it was because the supervisor of the entrance exam this time was a person who was well-known for using a sword well even at Noble Academy.

There were only a handful of 4th graders right before graduation who could fight him one-on-one and defeat him.

By the way, even though it was the entrance exam, the new student didn’t have enough to avoid the supervisor’s attack, and he cut off the sword and blocked the counterattack, so it was truly amazing.

“Yes, Chairman. In addition, I brought the sword to the overseer’s neck.”

“If it was a real battle, would that mean the overseer was dead?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm… ….”

After hearing Enrique’s explanation, the chairman seemed to be thinking for a while.

“Okay. I have decided.”

And he said, looking at the heads of each department with eyes full of conviction as if he had made up his mind.

“That white-haired freshman. I have to recruit Bless.”

The chairman announced that he would recruit Adalbert.

“Are you sure?”

At the words of the chairman, Enrique looked at him with a look in his eyes as if he really wanted to recruit him.

“Of course not. Dodging the supervisor’s sword, deflecting it, and holding the sword to his throat means that he’s a talented person who wouldn’t be strange even if he graduated right away, right? Wouldn’t it be more strange not to recruit such a talented person?”

“That’s right, but if the recruited target doesn’t want to join Bless…….”

Enrique was talking about when Adalbert tried to turn down Bless’ offer to sign him.

He was talking less, but his eyes looked as if he was saying, ‘If I refuse, I’ll just go crazy?’

“No. Throw in a recruiting offer. And even if you say you won’t come in, don’t be hasty hostile.”

“Yes?”

“He is strong enough to subdue the supervisor. Even if you were vigilant because it was an entrance exam, do you really think the supervisor wouldn’t be able to avoid one of the new students’ swords?”

The chairman looked at Enrique, asking what kind of fool he was talking.

Enrique fainted a little at the chairman’s gaze.

“It’s a rookie thing to oppose such a talented person. We help the freshman whenever he gets into trouble and make Bless’ image better. And then he opens his face, which naturally brings him closer to us. Then he won’t refuse our request later. Because he got a lot of help from us.”

The chairman had no intention of acting foolishly, even if Adalbert did not respond to the recruiting.

“Anyone with that level of skill must have entered Noble Academy because he wanted something. If he finds out what he wants and we can give it to him, then he gives what he wants, making him a member of the Bless.”

“Chairman. But, what will you do if that cadet turns against us?”

Enrique asked the chairman what to do if Adalbert was hostile to them.

“What should I do? Of course, it should be completely buried. However, a being that strong will never touch us unless we first become hostile. So, should we make the most positive impression on him?”

“Okay. President.”

“Now then, let’s stop discussing the recruitment of gray hair and move on to the welcome banquet for freshmen. Others will be fine if they just do what they have been doing.”

“Yes. President.”

–

At the time when Bless was holding meetings on various agendas besides Adalbert’s recruitment, Adalbert, the person in charge, was wearing a slightly different outfit than usual.

Wearing not the white robe he usually wore, but wearing leather armor made of tanned and hardened leather over plain clothes, he stood in front of a cave that could easily fit six or seven people.

Considering that he was wearing leather armor unlike usual, there must be something very dangerous living inside.

Adalbert checked the sword in the scabbard around his waist and nodded.

Then I started walking slowly into the cave.
