Chapter 85.2

Chapter 85 (Continued)

Doha got up from the sofa and approached. Baek-seo, who had been observing the situation from behind me, moved closer.

As all our attention focused on Yesong,

“Tada!”

Yesong placed something she had hidden behind her back onto my desk.

It was a luxurious letter.

“A letter?”

“Isn’t this the seal of the Federal Council?”

Minhyuk exclaimed in surprise, as the envelope indeed bore the seal symbolizing the Federal Council.

“I just received it on the way here!”

Yesong made a V sign with her fingers.

“After our tremendous accomplishments and the end of the disciplinary committee, the Federal Council sent us a letter at this exact timing? This must be reward time! My instincts tell me so!”

“Alright, calm down.”

Yesong was excited, her breath heavy.

The names of the five members of the Disciplinary Committee of Ahsung High School were listed as the recipients on the letter.

‘A reward, huh…. Last time, they informed us by email.’

Last semester, I received an email from the Federal Council informing me that I would receive platinum mileage.

‘But a letter all of a sudden?’

The Federal Council uses analog letters only for important announcements.

In other words, this letter was not merely sent to convey a reward.

Screech.

I pulled out the contents of the envelope.

As expected, it was stationery.

I unfolded it immediately.

Blank.

The entire sheet was empty, except for five marks at the edge of the paper.

Each mark had a fingerprint illustration.

“It’s a fingerprint recognition method. Everyone, place your fingers.”

“It’s fortunate that all five of us are here!”

As the five of us, the recipients, placed our fingers on the designated spots, magic rose from the paper, and glowing letters appeared.

The glow of the letters soon faded.

We removed our fingers and read the newly appeared content.

Or rather, there wasn’t much to read.

[To the Disciplinary Committee of Ahsung High School. Three days from now, on Thursday, at 3 PM. We will send someone.]

“Hmm…?”

A moment of silence passed.

Yesong scrutinized the stationery to see if there was more, but there was nothing else.
It was just a straightforward announcement.

Soon.

Whoosh!

“Whoa!”

Startled by the sudden burning of the paper, Yesong let go of it and took a step back. Minhyuk nearly fell over.

The paper was quickly engulfed in flames and vanished.

It was a natural combustion caused by magic.

The paper itself was a magical tool developed by the Federal Council.

“Oh…?”

Yesong uttered an almost admiring exclamation.

“What, what’s this…? Leader, is this some kind of assassination notice…?”

Minhyuk was terrified.

An assassination notice.

Given the performance, it did feel similar.

“Hey, hey, Minhyuk. Use your head a bit. Do you think that’s the case?”

Yesong tapped her head with her finger, reprimanding him. Though she also seemed quite flustered.

Doha also seemed tense.

Since the Federal Council had sent a letter saying they would send someone, she was worried another incident like the disciplinary committee might occur.

I needed to ease their anxiety quickly.

“As Yesong initially said, this is indeed a reward letter.”

“Huh?”

“Here. The seal’s color is the same as when they give rewards.”

The letter had burned, but the envelope remained. I pointed at the seal on it.

“Oh? Really? The seal’s color indicates it?”

I knew this from the original source.

A gold seal meant it was a reward.

“How do you know this? I’ve never heard of such information.”

“Leader, that’s not even on the internet.”

It wasn’t on the internet because receiving a letter from the Federal Council was extremely rare.

Even if someone did receive a letter, they often wouldn’t post it online just in case.

Considering the paper had burned, it strongly implied not to divulge the content. That must be the reason.

“I’m someone who received rewards from the Federal Council twice in the first semester. I learned this information by chance. But does it matter?”

“Leader, you seem particularly competent today….”

“I’ve always been competent.”

Yesong needed to refrain from making such nonsense.

“Anyway, don’t worry too much.”

Yesong, Minhyuk, and Doha’s expressions relaxed.

“If the Leader says so….”

“If the Leader says a dog meows like a cat, I’d believe it.”

You don’t have to go that far.

Anyway.

‘Though I said that, it still feels unsettling.’

I didn’t have a good feeling about this.

***

Three days later.

“Hello, Disciplinary Committee Leader. We’re from the Federal Council!”

The Disciplinary Committee’s reception room was visited by two Spartoi under the Federal Council.

One of them, a girl dressed in a nun’s habit over her school uniform, greeted me warmly.

“…Welcome.”

She was a direct subordinate of the Head Principal.

One of Neo Seoul’s strongest, Son Ye-seo.
