Incompetent Academy and Failed Heroines

71 – Negotiation (2)⚝

From noble mtl dot com

Are you telling me to believe this? It is an absurd plan to use his cousin to defeat the other cousin.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes.”

If lazy and incompetent people are treated just because they are seniors, no one will work hard. *To say that second graders will feel something when they are smashed by lower class students from other classes and from the same class.

“I think I have already achieved enough.”

“Because the princess is making excuses and not doing her best.”

After all this is over, don’t worry, I’ll be confident and roll like crazy in the arena.

“Can I help you?”

─You speak as well as Tyria.

“Let’s listen more first.”

I decided not to make any hasty predictions and just listen. I can’t trust anyone in the gallery family, and Danggeum’s plan is far from absurd.

“The reason Jean and Pan don’t appear is because Princess Veronhardt is your pair, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“Well, if the pair is cut off this time, there will be talented students even in the second year.”

“You mean I’m going to lose?”

“Twice, three times, four times. You can’t win in a row. It’s a battle of stamina and odds, and my cousins tend to have the ability. There are many excellent swordsmen in the gallery family, both direct and collateral.”

“Even if I lose anyway, that would only embarrass the supporters, right?”

“Then nothing changes. It was the first upheaval since its founding, but when they saw that it was quickly broken when talented seniors stepped forward, they would dismiss it as a coincidence. If you lose, Princess Veronhardt will lose interest in her too. Chan, tell me what you think.”

“The loser will tell you to shut up and take over your classmates.”

Dick Gallery quietly sipped his tea and sighed. It was an expression of the leader’s unique anxiety.

“I’m in the senior year right now, so I just need to be disciplined, but next year is the problem. When I graduate, one of them will be student president and the next year will be Chan. Well, it can’t be helped as long as Heoden is on Esiktas. However, if things go like this, next year and the year after that, the fighting skills will be really disastrous.”

I thought it had nothing to do with me, but it could be an important issue for me too, so I stayed silent.

“In the fall, we get a joint evaluation in the capital city, and with that, we get grades and grades for each academy. If this is the case, our efforts to get to B will be in vain. If I get an overall C grade, I’ll have to take an uglier applicant, and that means my three years of hard work at Heoden will go to waste. They want to somehow change the culture until Chan takes over. I don’t want this Heoden to regress. I think that is the responsibility of the student council president.”

Maybe it’s because he speaks mildly. Even though it was a useless story to me, I was able to listen to it well until the end. I still don’t know who Dick Gallery is. However, it was conveyed that he was the right person to be a leader and that he was seriously thinking about it.

“But.”

I stopped talking. Because now wasn’t the time to do it.

“I’ve also planned how to compensate you for money.”

─Let’s listen, let’s listen and speak.

“If you do this, you won’t be able to bet. It earned me about four silver coins a week, and I need it.”

“I don’t know if I would be offended if I said the cost of treatment.”

“No, since you are a senior, you can talk comfortably.”

“If it’s about ten silver coins a week, I can give it to you with my pocket money. All of the support cadets lose their money, but your share doubles. How about if I stop betting on this?”

With that kind of money, he could buy a lot of Shemra for Rosa as well as Kite.

“I have no faith.”

“You don’t have to answer today.”

If you want to drink tea, come anytime. I’ll leave it out, but I ask you to tell me at least two days in advance.

“Brother, can I come with you?”

“Chan, you’re my cousin, so there’s no need to ask that.”

I didn’t know if it was because I didn’t notice or if I decided not to notice, so I kept my mouth shut. I’m also of gallery blood, so can’t I understand the situation like this? Dick Gallery does not have a crush on Chan, his cousin’s sister. It’s so obvious that anyone can see it, it’s not even a competitor to Rita-senpai.

“Can I go back?”

“Yes. Chan: Let’s have a meal together on the way out. This is a gift from me, so don’t refuse either of them.”

─You push me so softly?

“Brother, me!”

“Let’s have dinner together next time. I’m a little busy these days, so you said Deman, right?”

“Yes.”

“If you don’t feel uncomfortable, have a quick chat with Chan. May I ask who I am? Chan is our family child, but she’s so brutish that she won’t say anything nice. Don’t worry about the cost of her food, just say Dick’s Gallery if more come out. If she still doesn’t understand, it won’t be a problem if she says she’s the student council president.”

It was such a polite proposal, so I stood up and saluted. He, too, accepted the salute as an example of his senior. Damn, I think it’s going to be incredibly popular. He’s not very handsome, but he has a neat face, he’s big, and he even talks softly. I think I know why Tyria said the competition was fierce. It would be hard for anyone to hate this man.

“Does Rita-senpai exist?”

I called as soon as I came out, but I can’t even see if it’s gone.

—Not all women are like Kite.

I don’t know if I expected it because of my childhood friend who always waited for me. Looking back with an embarrassed expression, Chan has already taken off her wig and messed up her hair. She was feminine in every other way, only her hair was shaved, so she was ugly.

“Are you going to eat?”

“Dick said that.”

“Let’s just take a walk.”

“No, I will just eat and wake up. Why am I taking a walk with you?”

Seeing with eyes that each other was like that, I pointed it out without holding back.

“It’s ugly, so at least wear her wig.”

─I’ve been hurt once, so it’s a bit like looking at her neutral appearance.

“This is my heart.”

“What do you like?”

“Not really.”

He seemed to be thinking about it for a while, but he said that there is nothing to cover, but he likes places with fewer people.

“Yes.”

After leaving the main building of the student council, there was a restaurant not far away. The interior decoration and decorations were luxurious, probably because it is mainly used by cadets who use the student council building. I was just trying to order something, but suddenly I remembered what Francesco said.

“Do you also sell new dishes?”

It’s a bit pricey, but I ordered pheasant dish because it’s their signature dish, so I ordered one grilled one and one tang.

“You don’t need dessert, right?”

Chan called the waiter and ordered something called *sorbe. The price was great, so she asked what it was.

“What is sorbet sorbet?”

I didn’t mean to insult her, so I nodded her head. I don’t know the Chan gallery very well, but I’m not quite feminine. Would it be right to say that it is clumsy? I’m more comfortable than any of the girls around me in that I don’t mock or bother anyone.

“Did you uncover the secret of my Hwangoja?”

“I can tell just by looking at it.”

“I can’t believe that such a talented person followed me around.”

I’m so sorry, she tells me the score she got on the archery test. She listens to Rega’s lectures together, so I know her grades. It is true that Chan is better than me if you look only at the numbers.

“I know that long distances even learn how to draw, but at that time, it is better to change whether it is a string or a bow.”

“I know.”

“I’ll teach you when we become a pair. To be honest, I can’t trust you or the president right now. It seems that there is an intention to keep drawing a line with Jean and Pan, and it is a bit like that. It’s uncomfortable because I don’t understand why they’re buying me this meal now.”

“Because you don’t know Brother Dick.”

Of course he said he didn’t understand, so I brought up a hidden question.

“Did you understand and accept what Dick said earlier?”

“Of course not.”

“You know what happens if you pair me like this, right?”

It is different from Ain. She is like a meteorite that fell on Heoden. No one can touch her and she doesn’t belong anywhere. It means that she doesn’t have to worry about her luck to the point that she’d rather be hated and kicked out. However.

“Because I know.”

“All the blame is on you. A junior who beats the seniors. A younger sister who sticks with Jiwon and puts a knife in the battle line. She put up with these words and said that she would make a pair with me. I even laugh a little.”

Finally, the dish came out. Chan said she had no appetite and she asked for sorbet first. Contrary to the look, there is a little child-like corner. A boy who tries to pretend to look dignified. Is it because I’m the youngest?

“Dick will stop everything. Because he’s the student council president and everyone respects him.”

“Even if you put the blame on the outside to rest, it doesn’t solve the dissatisfaction that grows inside.”

Is the student council president even a god? It was the same reaction as when I joked in front of Rosa, so I was a little scared. It was so bizarre that I wondered if this wasn’t love, but fanaticism.

“What I want is the development of Heoden. That sacrifice is worth making.”

“Dick-senpai won’t be here next year. Have you forgotten that the older brothers you hate so much become the real powers?”

She was about to say, “Are you stupid?”, But she barely held back.

“No, if something goes wrong, we can get together with the first graders and make the next freshman on one side.”

“Dick-senpai said that?”

At last, Sorbe came out. I don’t even know what that is. It seems to have replaced fruit and ice, but I didn’t understand that people paid expensive money to eat something like that. One bite, one bite. It was a little cute to eat it like a baby eating snacks. Chan Gallery would look like a young lady who grew up with a high level of education, if only her skin wasn’t tanned.

“If the second graders don’t realize this, nothing will change. If you get a C grade like that, it’s enough to start over again with a B from our time and an A for the next jockey. If you want to reform, now is the time. If you fail, you have to draw the line.”

“No, you fool!”

I was frustrated and said it.

“I mean, even though I was paired with Ain, those who are persistent like this wouldn’t do that to you. When Dick graduates, you will become a duck egg by the river and will be ostracized by everyone! Really, I don’t know how high the level of kids is. Honestly, if something like this happened in Velaste, who would understand you?”

If Jean and Pan aren’t fools, they won’t hand this over. They just ate sorbet without saying anything.

“I trust Brother Dick.”

He says he has finished eating and leaves ten silver coins on the table. I felt bad, but I accepted everything. He also asked for leftover pheasant dishes. I ate some kind of silver coin dessert. With this money, the children in the orphanage can buy bread for three days, but there is no such luxury.
