by fnovelpiaAfter the group was announced, sounds were heard around.
“Lady! We’re lucky we’re in the same group!”
“Yes! That’s right…!”
“And the two people except me… Ah.”
Sonia and Benny were not far from me. Somehow, we ended up facing each other.
“···Still, I’m glad we ended up together! Let’s show the power of the student council!”
Benny didn’t seem to like me and Werner Chilwell very much. Because it seemed like he didn’t even want to mention it, as if he didn’t exist.
Me and Sonia Benny. While the three of us were in a strange three-way battle, a man got between us.
“Oh, hello? My name is Werner Chilwell. I am the only second grader. Let’s try our best. “
So all four members of the flag pulling group gathered together.
***
“Well, I brought you information about the flag drawing…!”
“Sorry, but I already know this much. It’s natural to find out in advance.”
“Yeah, really?”
Werner’s shoulders shrank after hearing Benny’s sharp retort.
After the group nomination ceremony, the four people left the auditorium and headed to the library. The library would normally be quiet, but now it has become an atmosphere where students can gather for discussion and have a reasonable conversation.
“······.”
Of course, there were students who checked out books and left with a grumpy expression, as if they didn’t like the atmosphere.
By the way, Benny also responded quite sharply to Werner. I didn’t really understand that.
“Why are you responding so sharply?”
“What?”
“You may know it right now. But that doesn’t guarantee that everyone else knows, right?”
“Ha, you’re the only person I don’t know, right?”
That was correct. Right now, Sonia and Benny are members of the student council, and Werner received a document that thick.
However, I only heard about the rules from El, but did not know the detailed information.
“Can I read it?”
“Ugh, yes. Yes.”
I took the document from Werner’s hand. There was a lot more interesting information than I expected.
And among them, the information that the student council student must be in the top 10 was also written here. It seemed like it was probably pretty popular information.
Even when I thought about it again, I didn’t quite understand it. It’s a place where groups are formed randomly, so I can’t believe this is possible. It wasn’t realistic.
However, there are two members of the student council, so it was obvious that if I brought up this topic here, it would only lead to conflict. I turned my attention to another indicator.
“Class A arrived at the hill within 4 days and pulled out the flag.”
“Ugh, yes. That’s right.”
Four days. It wasn’t that long.
“Then the strategy we need to take seems to have been decided to some extent.”
“What, what is it?”
“Level A lasts about 4 days, so you have to come in within 5 days at the latest to aim for a good grade. So we-”
“Hey, wait a minute.”
Benny raised his hand as if he had something to say.
“What is it?”
“Why are you leading?”
“···What?”
Benny spoke bluntly and crossed his arms.
“Isn’t it right for Miss Sonia and I to make plans?”
Werner’s face hardened at Benny’s declaration disguised as a question. I can’t show my expression, but of course I was annoyed.
Next to him, Sonia had a subtle expression of trouble, but she did not actively try to stop Benny.
“Ah, yes. What are your plans?”
Even though I was thinking about attacking Benny, I asked his opinion first. Because there was a possibility that a better opinion would come out.
“Ha, I’ve already made a plan. Unlike you.”
Benny scratched me gently and took out some paper from his bag.
“These are the items needed for this performance evaluation. If I just get these, there will be no problem, right?”
Benny confidently spread the document on the table.
Equipment that would definitely be helpful for camping was written there. But there was a very big problem.
“Are you moving?”
“What, what?!”
There were too many types and numbers of objects. Even if you compress it with magic and make it light, it would be difficult to carry around. In particular, there were a lot of unnecessarily heavy items for food and sleeping.
“Why do I need so much luggage?”
“Ha, then what are you going to do in the forest? Just cover yourself with a blanket and sleep?”
“Can’t we do that?”
“Ha!”
Benny blatantly tried to ignore what I said. I turned the document over and started writing on the back.
“This test is a short test. The lighter your body, the better.”
“This list was sorted out in some way, right?”
“People don’t die even if they live in discomfort for four days. Prepare food with light and simple items and sleep while thinking about being homeless -”
“Ha, this is why commoners.”
“What?”
The atmosphere at the table where four people sat around changed. In a bad way.
The desire to move on as smoothly as possible began to disappear.
“You are also a commoner, so what are you doing?”
“I am not an ordinary commoner.”
“Then what is it?”
After hearing my question, Benny placed his hand on his chest and responded as if he was proud.
“A lady from the Bismuth family who boasts the best jewelry craftsmanship in the empire. Because I’m attending Lady Sonia. Of course, it’s different from an ordinary commoner like you.”
I already knew that the Bismuth family was famous for its jewelry making. Because it’s a place where I used to work as a worker.
“What bullshit? A commoner is a commoner.”
“Yes~ That would be your level.”
“···Ha!”
“Why? If you have any complaints, would you like to fight?”
Benny’s hand went to the inside pocket of his coat. A shiny wand was pulled out from inside the pocket.
Benny probably used Bismuth’s unique magic. A method of maximizing efficiency by crafting magical gems using their own technology.
But even so, I never imagined a situation where I couldn’t beat Benny.
Any thoughts of restraint disappeared from Revan’s mind. Because people who spread things out without even knowing their topic were one of the types I disliked the most.
“Are you afraid that I might be scared? Then go straight to the training ground-”
“Stop!”
Just as the atmosphere between Benny and Revan was about to become increasingly hostile, Sonia shouted.
“···Sorry for making a loud noise. Benny? Stop it.”
“Lady! But-”
“Stop it. The people in front are the people we need to cooperate with. What are you going to do if we’re already fighting?”
Sonia continued speaking.
“We are student council officers, right? I have to get an A grade. Then we need to become more harmonious. There must be harmony.”
It was a correct opinion. However, Revan was dissatisfied with Sonia’s tone.
He waited until Benny went on a rampage and intervened to set the tone of the event. To the point where I wonder if they are conspiring with each other.
It was a typical noble way of speaking. Revan knew that the Sonia he knew now would be different from the girl he knew, but seeing it in person didn’t feel that good.
“···You don’t have to worry about Grade A.”
“What do you cut?”
“Oh, no.”
Benny muttered softly after hearing the scolding. I don’t think it was exactly audible to Sonia’s ears, but it was audible to mine.
‘You don’t have to worry. ‘What do you mean?’
However, the atmosphere at the table no longer felt like questioning. Because Werner also seemed to have a stronger intention to join Sonia and Benny.
All three eyes focused on me. Revan sighed.
Sonia spoke about how she received Revan’s reaction.
“Benny was in a hurry. sorry. Because he is a child who cares about me so much.”
“Trigram, it’s okay! He is a loyal servant.”
“Hehe, thank you. The plan Benny mentioned was a plan we made together. But Revan… seems to have a point. So why not give each other a little bit?”
“Ugh, yes! I think that would be good.”
Sonia put her hands together and answered as if asking. Werner repeatedly nodded his head in agreement with the request.
I was in the second year, but I was stuck with Sonia, who was in the first year. Sonia’s reputation seemed to be greater than I thought.
“···What do you think, Revan?”
Sonia asked cautiously. I couldn’t tell if he was being cautious or if he was making a thorn in me too.
Three people actually turned to Sonia’s side. Even if I protested here, it was obvious that I would be isolated and not accepted.
“Okay.”
“Ah, thank you. Then we-”
Sonia, who took the lead in Group 9, continued speaking. A few lines are drawn from the list Benny brought, and some items are added.
After making a plan for drawing the flag, each person was assigned a role. From what I saw, the plans needed revision, but I just passed on them.
And three days later, the flag pulling began.
