CH 85

The clock tower on the grounds of the Royal Pioneer Academy rings, signaling the end of the morning classes.

At that time, Nekodoran and Yesman were in the courtyard of the school.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a statue that resembles the school’s first principal and vice principal.

The statue was a fountain, and the two of them were releasing water from their mouths with big smiles on their faces.

The fountain is surrounded by specially made benches, and there is a sign that says, ‘No seating except for the highest class!’

It was considered to be one of the several resting places for the chosen ones in this school.

Nekodoran and Yesman look up at the statue with completely mangled expressions.

“Haha ……, I’m sure by the beginning of next month this statue will be dismantled …….”

“As soon as the statue is gone, …… we’ll be gone from this school, won’t we ……?”

“The area around our statue was a resting place for golden chicks, born from golden eggs. ……

At lunchtime, it was always filled with the smiling faces of golden chicks. ……”

“I’m going to ask if I can at least keep my statue …….

That’s the last thing I’m going to leave for my students. ……”

Suddenly, a group of students walked by behind them, and they heard whispering voices.

“‘Hey, there’s someone sitting on that cursed statue!

“‘Wow, it’s rumored that sitting there is a contagious sign of stupidity!

“‘And you won’t be able to stop the ranks going down!

“I mean, could that be him sitting over there?

“‘Whoa, it’s true, let’s move on, the fact that he’s even here means that the curse must have doubled!

“I can smell a loser in the air!

No wonder there’s no one around, let alone a bench!”

The sound of students’ footsteps leaving as if they were running away.

Tears spilled down both of their cheeks.

“Ugh …… ugh ……, why, why did I have to suffer this …….

Just a few days ago, all of my students respected me more than their fathers. ……”

“It’s true,……, if we don’t do something about it, I’m going to be lumped in with the old man who smells like he’s aging, and that’s going to be the black history of this school,…….”

“But there’s nothing we can do about it. ……. 10 more days until we get a new principal. ……

“It’s as impossible for me to regain my former position by then as it is for someone to make this bald man fluffy. ……!

“‘Ugh …… oooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Nekodoran and Yesman hug and cry together, no longer being seen.

There, once again, footsteps approached from behind.

“Don’t give up on me just yet.”

They turned around and couldn’t help but hum at the person they saw.

“Weiss-kun!”

“I have an idea, and I think it’s the best way to get you both back on track.”

“What is itl?”

The two were quick to bite.

“There’s less than two weeks until we’re kicked out of the school!”

“Yes, I am a Sage, and nothing is impossible.

But you’ll both have to make a reasonable sacrifice.”

“I’ll do anything as long as I can stay at this school and continue to be the vice principal!”

“I’m more than willing to bet my life on it!”

“”Very well, then please seal the ‘magic circle of transference’ after the messenger from the school board returns.”

“If you do that, this school will become an island on land! and if the outside world finds out what 

we’re about to do, they might get in the way.

However, if the ‘magic circle of transference’ cannot be used, the outside world will not be able to touch it for a week.

And in order to contain the students inside, you must declare a ‘state of emergency’ and prohibit them from leaving their living quarters.”

“There’s no war or emergency, and you’re declaring a state of emergency?

“‘No, this is war for us, and the enemy is as vicious as the plague.

If we don’t do that much, we’ll never be able to completely obliterate it.”

The words came out of Weiss’ mouth so loudly that the duo repeated again, “Well, obliteration!”

“What is it that you’re trying to destroy?

“Oh, you don’t mean ……!”

“Yes, it’s Leopin!

I’m sure you two are aware of that.

It’s not your fault that everything you do is going wrong.

It’s all because of that garbage ……, because that plague of a guy is dragging our feet ……!

People listen more to sweet and gentle lies than to bitter truths.

It is the essence of human nature, and the people who are here now have been raised that way.

This is evident from the fact that wild rumors about Leopin are spreading like wildfire.

This is true not only for students who are still mentally immature, but also for adults.”

The former headmaster and vice principal’s pupils are left dilated, as if they have been enlightened by an evil religion.

“It was because of that garbage that my life, which had been going so well, suddenly went crazy!”

“Yes, it all makes sense when you think about it!”

“Then, I will make full use of my remaining power to declare a state of emergency!”

“Then I’ll be the one to seal the ‘magic circle of transference’!”

Weiss shakes his palm as if he is playing with both of their hearts.

His eyes shone with a mysterious glint.

“But that’s not all, we need more power to eradicate the plague.

The power of the name ‘gold’.

Since the two of you have been forced out of your positions, the school’s funds are no longer at your disposal, right?”

“‘Then there is no problem, I have hidden the slave tickets I collected from the students!

If we exchange them for cash, we will have a fortune!

And if that’s not enough, we can always dip into your savings!”

“Yes! In this case, I’ll throw in the backdoor deposit I’ve been saving for my little boy!”

“‘No, it’s not enough.

When you were appointed as the headmaster and vice principal, you both received preferential treatment from the government and set up a mansion in the royal capital, right?

We’re going to sell it and build a war chest. ……!”

“”E……eeeee!!!!””
