Chapter Index

    31. The elf princess whose attitude toward me has changed.

    I walked down from the stage, receiving everyone’s shocked looks.

    People still had faces of disbelief.

    “No way… I never thought the mercenary king would have made magic paper…”

    “I can’t believe it… I thought it was made by Archmage Constantine…”

    “Aren’t those words much cooler than that? He said he wanted to create a world where everyone could talk freely. I think it’s so cool.”

    “You said you wanted to create a special atmosphere like that. He is definitely a great person.”

    I smiled softly while listening to people’s voices.

    The sincere speech that followed the amazing performance certainly seemed to work well.

    ‘I thought it was prestigious.’

    Of course, this speech did not guarantee my election.

    However, it could be seen that the probability of winning was much higher than before.

    ‘By the way… it’s going to get quite annoying from now on.’

    By revealing that he was a community creator, he secured a lot of votes.

    But nothing can have only advantages.

    In the future, it will become difficult to manipulate public opinion on the central server. It was different from when I was anonymous.

    Plus, the hero could have done something like retaliation.

    Just now…

    “Ha…! You were the one who created that gallery?”

    I felt the warrior’s eyes growling at me. Before he knew it, his expression had changed from one of shock to one of anger.

    He was looking at me like an enemy of Bulbuldaecheon. Of course, the original enemy was right. But it wasn’t as bad as it is now.

    ‘I can’t help it.’

    It was the warriors who suffered the most damage because of the community. It was natural for him to react like that.

    Of course, they haven’t found out that I’m a trickster yet. If they had found out, they would have attacked me right here.

    I ignored the snarling warrior’s gaze.

    On the contrary, when he got angry like that, there was a bit of a cool side to him.

    ‘Anyway, even if I try to stop now, I can’t.’

    Community has already become essential at the Academy. Even if the dean tried to stop this, he couldn’t. The same was true for the warrior.

    No matter how hard it was, the community couldn’t stop.

    Anyway, I moved to my seat, receiving everyone’s attention.

    The way he looked at me earlier was full of sympathy. But before I knew it, all those gazes had disappeared.

    Everyone was looking at me with a mixture of admiration and surprise.

    ‘Whew, I hope this is a good choice…’

    Anyway, as I sat down, the elf princess Lucien spoke to me next to me.

    “I never knew you made magic paper.”

    It felt like it had been a long time since she spoke to me for the first time. She was quite quiet. But I guess even she can’t help but be surprised.

    “Really?”

    I spoke informally to her. But she didn’t seem to care much.

    He quickly nodded to me.

    “Yes.”

    And then he kept asking me questions.

    “How did you come up with the idea to create something so amazing? Are you really trying to create a free world?”

    “Well… there are things like that…”

    Of course, it was all a lie.

    But I couldn’t tell the truth here.

    ‘You can’t say it’s to control public opinion.’

    Anyway, she seemed to suddenly become more interested in me. She kept talking to me, chattering uncharacteristically.

    “Awesome. I was really surprised. I knew you had changed, but I never imagined you would create such an amazing world.”

    “It’s not that great…”

    “No! How great is it?!”

    She immediately countered my statement. Then, he started talking about the great things about the community one by one.

    “It’s really great that anonymity is guaranteed. Additionally, it’s amazing that you can communicate with everyone without distance restrictions. How could you think like that…”

    Apparently, she was quite impressed with the community.

    ‘I guess he could be a named user at this level?’

    I was curious about her nickname.

    Of course, it wasn’t a good idea to keep talking to her in a place like this.

    And just as I thought, words came out of her mouth that shouldn’t have come out of her mouth.

    “Ah! for a moment! By any chance, are you that Trix…”

    It should never have been revealed that I was a trickster. In particular, there was a warrior here.

    I immediately pulled away.

    “That can’t be possible. I just made magic paper.”

    “Ah, I see…”

    She looked at me with some regret. There seemed to be quite a bit of interest in the trickster.

    Anyway, it was difficult to talk to her anymore.

    Soon all the speeches were over and voting began.

    “Then, let’s start voting now.”

    Fortunately, the vote was a secret ballot. Originally, it wasn’t even a secret ballot. I just raised my hand and tried to pull it out.

    But I was against it. And a more sophisticated method was presented.

    That was the polling place you see now. It was a polling place that looked quite similar to a modern one.

    Soon, the students held papers one by one and entered the simple voting booth.

    Then, each person began to write down the candidate they wanted on a piece of paper.

    I felt quite nervous. It felt like it had been a long time since I felt this tension.

    I went through a lot of trouble to become a department representative. If possible, I hoped that the hard work would be compensated.

    ‘I guess I’ll have to vote soon too, right?’

    I stood up. Then we headed to the polling place.

    Of course they were going to pick me.

    At that time, I was able to see the saint who had finished voting.

    She had a pretty bright face. And as soon as he saw me, he winked slightly.

    Frown.

    I smiled at her appearance.

    Fortunately, it seemed like they picked me. It was as if one of the warrior’s marks had been stolen.

    So I entered the polling place.

    And soon all voting ended.

    ***

    Even after voting ended, people did not leave the gym. On the contrary, the number of people increased even more.

    He said that now there are quite a few people outside. Everyone gathered there because they were curious about the voting results.

    Of course, the results of the vote were known immediately. There were only 100 votes. You can check it right here.

    The chairman(?) of the election committee was Serge Geis. He was standing on the podium and saying the names on the ballot.

    “Warrior. Franz Lam.”

    Waaa-!!

    Every time the candidate’s name was called, many cheers rang out. It was about cheering for each person cheering for them.

    After calling the name, Serge Geis wrote something on a small piece of paper. It seemed to display the voting status there.

    By the way, when his name was mentioned, the warrior raised his hand.

    Then the cheers got louder.

    Waaa-!!

    In fact, there was no separate officialdom.

    Soon Serge Geis took out another ballot. Then he called the name written on the paper.

    “Duke Philip.”

    Waaa-!!

    Duke Philip just nodded. It looked pretty simple.

    Of course, he would be distraught now.

    Originally, he was confident of his victory. But an ambush appeared. It was I who suddenly revealed that I was a community creator.

    It must have been a completely unexpected ambush.

    That’s why he was making that expression. That was also because the results could not be predicted.

    At that time, my name came out of Serge Guys’ mouth.

    “Jace Allen.”

    Then there was a huge cheering sound.

    Waaa-!!

    A sound louder than the cheers of the warriors filled the gym. Cheers could even be heard outside.

    It was a clear indication of who is causing a sensation in this election.

    “Tsk. What’s so great about paper like that…”

    The warrior showed an expression of great displeasure.

    He didn’t seem to like that the cheers were louder than he was.

    I ignored him and took out a piece of paper.

    The idea was to check the community’s reaction.

    In fact, the majority of students were currently participating in the community.

    As expected, I have already thrown away a lot of paper.

    Perhaps that’s why the status was being relayed in real time.

    -(Choi Kang Dunjae): I unconditionally support Galjoo.

    -(Academy’s Second Beauty): I wish I could become Galjoo too. He created this joyful world.

    -(I love you, Mercenary King): I love you so much, Jace Allen!! marry me!

    -(Mana is my wife): But Galju may not be able to do it. Duke Philip seems to be a little ahead now.

    -(Mercenary King Butt Grandpa): No! You absolutely have to become Galju!

    Before I knew it, I had become the leader(?) of the community.

    There was a time when I secretly introduced the concept of Galju with the nickname Trickster. But I had no idea that I would be able to use it like this right away.

    ‘Galjura…’

    Naturally, all communities had no choice but to praise me. I was the creator of the community. It was because of me that they were enjoying this civilization.

    Naturally, most people wanted me to win.

    Of course, there were other opinions.

    This was especially true of the warriors and the groups that followed them.

    -(Bermin Hipster): Isn’t the Mercenary King really delicious? Did you see the paper being thrown out earlier? I didn’t want to see it in such a bad way.

    -(Hero’s Palm): Really. I thought I was already overrepresented?

    -(Hero’s Toe): The Mercenary King will fall anyway. Of course he will be our hero.

    -(Academy’s Most Beautiful Woman): Are you guys noisy today? Do you want to look at me?

    Ridiculously, they cursed at me while using the community thanks to me. They were such shameless guys.

    ‘Anyway, what about dragons(?)…’

    Yongqui is a combination of warrior and cockroach, which I also told you about.

    Anyway, I’ve looked into the community enough.

    And I was able to roughly understand what was going on.

    The current voting status could be seen as a complete three-way system.

    It was Duke Philip, me, and the warrior in that order.

    Only these three people were receiving votes. I couldn’t even see the names of the rest.

    Naturally, the prince, Dubalton, and Pierre Baumann had very displeased expressions. But it was all just their own karma.

    ‘So who wants to campaign like that?’

    In particular, I never thought that the prince would perform so poorly.

    ‘It seems like there are some defectors among the prince faction?’

    It would be a pretty serious blow to him. Of the three, the one with the worst expression was the prince.

    I looked at him for a moment and then counted the remaining ballots. Now was not the time to worry about the prince.

    ‘Now there are about 10 chapters left…?’

    90 percent of the votes have already been counted.

    There really isn’t much left now.
