Gonzalez was shocked by the voice and froze for a moment, but soon regained his composure and stood up, bowing at a 60-degree angle toward the fourth floor.

“Rose Water senior.”

“Gonzales.”

“62nd Gonzales Marine.”

While receiving a polite greeting from the third-year representative, the fourth-year students did not show their faces even once.

It was only then that I realized why the older students occupied the uncomfortable upper floors of the Blue Dragon dormitory.

In order to create a strict panopticon structure, upper grades can freely monitor lower grades, but lower grades cannot see upper grades.

Drurrr

With the sound of something made of metal being dragged, the fourth grader finally leaned against the terrace and showed his face.

A decadent beauty with curly black hair and pale skin. In her hand is a long sword.

A two-handed sword that is much larger and heavier than a typical student sword. no way…

When I turned my head and looked at Chairman Lilac’s face, I was convinced that my prediction was correct.

It was my first time knowing that a president could make such an expression.

Instead of a gentle, sly smile, the corners of the mouth are twisted in disgust and the eyes are burning with hatred.

“Seeing that expression on his face, I guess Baekyang hasn’t forgotten about our 20 martyrs.”

“… ”

“Thank you. I know that? I’m your fan too. I’m really enjoying the era of romance~”

A completely unexpected remark.

González opened his mouth, and the president stumbled as he got up from his seat in embarrassment.

I quickly caught the chairman who was about to trip over the chair leg.

“Chairman!”

“Uh… uh… Ouch!”

When I grabbed his wrist, the president became even more embarrassed and suddenly threw his arm back.

The wind caused my body to tilt, and we fell to the floor together.

“Ugh… ”

“Sorry. Are you okay?”

“No, why are you suddenly waving your hands like that… ”

“Uh. hmm. that is… ”

I can’t believe you’re filming a show like this in front of the Blue Dragons.

When I looked up, Rose was stroking her chin as if she had seen something interesting.

She leaned against the railing and threw it away.

“You are Colman Cantor.”

“So? Do you know me?”

“No. But I know your sister Hayley Cantor.”

My body became stiff.

When González heard those words, he tilted his head as if trying to remember something.

“I heard somewhere, Hayley Cantor, Hayley Cantor… Ah!”

A realization that appeared in the eyes of the grade representative. What followed was a look of half pity and half mockery.

“You must have had a lot of trouble, Cantor Coleman.”

“Close your mouth.”

“Coleman.”

The chairman hurriedly grabbed my wrist and stopped me from running out.

González turned around as if he was no longer interested in me, took a deep breath, and nodded again.

“Senior. If you don’t mind, may I report on what our 62nd unit investigated?”

“Ah, the analysis that says Blue Dragon has a concept of making up for below-average stats with low points and special rules?”

“Yes.”

“I like that concept? It means that they are people who make up for their lack of talent with effort.

This means that they are not barbarians who rely on their innate magical power, but rather a group of artists who use spells at the right time and in the right place.”

okay. That is Cheongryong’s design philosophy.

If the person who said that wasn’t a vicious psychopath, and if it hadn’t just turned my stomach, I would have applauded.

We’re out of luck that our supporters within Blue Dragon are such human beings.

Gonzalez was silent for a moment after hearing Rose’s answer.

He rolled his eyes, took a more upright posture, then bent down again and spoke.

“I listened to your opinion.

However, the boycott of the Romantic Era was a conclusion reached at the 62nd Leadership Conference, so it is difficult to turn back now.”

“62nd meeting.”

“Of course, the 62nd class respects the 61st class and its seniors.

But isn’t there an unwritten tradition in Blue Dragon?

In the second semester, fourth-year students retreat to the second line so that third-year students can gain experience running the dormitory.

I dare to ask you to respect that tradition.”

It was packaged with polite words, but in the end, the true meaning was ‘Ah, Sergeant. You’re going home now, so don’t tell us what our corporals are doing.’

Although she heard that, Rose shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t care.

“Okay, then. I was just expressing my opinion.

I will be leaving soon anyway, but I have no intention of overturning the conclusion made by the 62nd unit.”

“Thank you very much for your understanding.”

Rose glanced at us, then retreated into the darkness of the fourth floor hallway, sword in hand.

González had a faint smile on his face after gaining the fourth grader’s consent.

“So, what is the answer?”

I can’t accept the truth like this.

If they fall for this kind of threat once, they will demand more the next time, and eventually they will try to control the entire romantic era to suit the Blue Dragon’s tastes.

“Fuck you.”

I gritted my teeth and fired back, but González turned to the president without even fading his expression.

“What are you going to do, Chairman? Do you think the era of romance can return without the cooperation of our blue dragon?”

“It would be a blow to lose a quarter of sales, but… ”

“It won’t end there, right? The reason the student council created this game wasn’t just for fun entertainment.

Isn’t the goal to replace actual duels with the romantic era?

Our Blue Dragon Dormitory will return to actual combat. Then, other dormitories will have no choice but to accept the dueling culture.”

This time, I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut and remain silent.

Although this child is petty and mean, he is not stupid. Well, Chief Blue Dragon can’t be an idiot.

They realized that the president’s plan depended on the consent of all dormitories, and came forward with the intention of exploiting that.

My goal is to create fun games, so I will never give in, but the chairman may try to find a compromise –

“… If you want to try it, do it.”

“What?”

“Chairman?”

The chairman placed his hand on my shoulder and declared in his characteristic sonorous voice.

“I believe in Coleman’s game.

This game is so fun that you can play it even if you break the dorm rules.

So boycott, do whatever you want. Let’s see how many follow.”

My throat was tight. The chairman’s trust calms the excitement that arose when his sister’s name was mentioned.

González nodded and then stood up.

He took a whistle out of his pocket and blew it three times. After a while, the lights on the third floor turned on and Blue Dragon students gathered on the terraces of the first, second, and third floors.

“Then it is war! Starting today, Blue Dragon Dormitory will not purchase, play, or talk about Era of Romance! Blue dragon! Blue dragon! Blue Dragon!”

“Blue Dragon! Blue dragon! Blue Dragon!”

Students chanting in unison to the melody.

And that included colleagues who worked in the student council.

Cleo didn’t raise her voice loudly because she noticed us, but Vice President Tangaroa, who was right next to us, shouted slogans louder than anyone else.

“Akerake Kunda Kunda Ah~Saba! Hey!”

“Akerake Kunda Kunda Ah~Saba! Hey!”

González and the Blue Dragon students suddenly started speaking in tongues.

“Hey papa papa lippa lai lai lai lai cha cha cha!”

“Hey papa papa lippa lai lai lai lai cha cha cha!”

As about a hundred students sang that slogan at the same time, I lost consciousness and collapsed in my chair.

“Coleman. let’s go. I’ve seen everything that needed to be done.”

As the president grabbed my arm and helped me up, González gestured to the vice president.

“Tangaroa, Cleo.”

“63rd Tangaroa.”

“64th Cleo Macariel.”

“Work hard.”

Cleo blinked in confusion, but Tangaroa nodded without changing his expression.

On the way back from the Blue Dragon dormitory to the student council, Cleo glanced at me and asked carefully.

“Mr. Coleman. that… A woman named Hayley… ”

“Cleo.”

The chairman decisively cut off the secretary.

“Everyone has secrets they don’t want to know.”

“Sorry… ”

“No, it’s okay.

My older sister had a falling out with a man and ran away, tarnishing the family name and becoming a topic of conversation among wealthy people.

That’s kind of the story. But yeah, I don’t really want to talk about it.”

“Okay.”

I’m still distraught because of Blue Dragon’s provocation, and I don’t want to bring up memories of my older sister.

Cleo, trying to somehow lighten the mood, offered a hopeful observation.

“That… I’m talking about the ban on blue dragons. González is just excited for a moment, but it won’t last long.

There are many Cheongryong students who also enjoy the romantic era.

There will probably be people who do it secretly.”

“Ha.”

Tangaroa snorted and accepted.

“A semester has passed and you still don’t know the atmosphere of Blue Dragon. How many people have the guts to do that?

“Not all Blue Dragons mechanically obey the words of their seniors.”

“Not all Blue Dragons will do that. But in large enough numbers, yes.”

I slowly turned and looked at Tangaroa.

Cleo’s reaction is normal. On the other side, he passively cheers to keep an eye on the student council, and here, he defends the group he belongs to, the Blue Dragon.

However, Tangaroa is more passionately loyal to Blue Dragon than anyone else, and the student council members cheerily criticize Blue Dragon.

During the last brainstorming, Cleo somehow defended Blue Dragon, but the vice president barely participated.

“Then what do you think, Vice President?”

“This is not an impulsive tantrum. González is trying to increase his standing within the Blue Dragon dormitory.

You saw it too, right? There is a war of nerves between 4th graders and 3rd graders.”

“I want to surpass the reputation of the martyrs. Is that so?”

“That’s right. If this boycott leads to a Blue Dragon rework, you will have something to brag about at the alumni association after you graduate.”

I asked after a moment of silence.

“Vice President.”

“Why.”

“If you get caught chewing blue dragon like this outside-”

“What if something gets discovered? Even Gonzalez knows that I act like this.”

“Yes?”

The chairman who was ahead looked back and gave an additional explanation.

“In the first place, I also allowed Tangaroa to go to Blue Dragon and do that. It’s the same thing.”

Do González and the president think that Tangaroa is just deceiving them and that he is their person anyway?

Is this grumpy vice president so good at managing things that he can be trusted by both sides at the same time?

I stopped to collect my thoughts.

“What are you doing? Hurry and follow me.”

“Vice President.”

“Why do you keep asking?”

So, I was about to ask, “Who is your true loyalty to?”, but I closed my mouth because it was such a stupid question.

Of course, if I ask you, you will say that you are loyal to the student council.

It was obvious that it would look strange if I said it was nothing, so I asked a trivial question.

“Lai lai cha cha cha.”

“Hey papa papa lipa lai lai lai lai cha cha cha?”

“Yes. That’s it. What does it mean?”

“A profound slogan passed down from the first period.”

“So, what does it mean?”

This time Tangaroa also stopped. He looked up at the sky and said.

“I don’t know either.”
