Inside the staff room, the topic of S-class was frequently discussed.
Among them, Oswald, who championed class supremacy, often visited the principal’s office to make direct appeals to Meteore.
Even after Albero and his group left the Asgard Kingdom, Oswald continued his appeals.
ㅤ
“Principal, have you reconsidered? No one recognizes something like the S-class. No matter how much you sealed the Demon Emperor with the help of twenty-one summoners, there are good and bad actions. The highest class is Special A-class, and excluding that, the next highest is the A-class Summoner. . . . . .Yes, A-class is truly the top.”
“. . . . . .You’re really persistent, Oswald.”
ㅤ
Meteore was getting fed up with Oswald.
Class supremacy. For summoners, class is everything.
Oswald, who took immense pride in being an A-class Summoner, couldn’t accept the existence of the S-class.
Oswald wore a triumphant expression.
ㅤ
“Principal, you must be aware. . . . . .of the incident where the S-class Summoner Albero, went against his real brother, a B-class and also the Discipline Committee Chairman, Rashild, and injured him.”
“I’ve heard. The Student Council President Esterize-kun, who was present at the scene, suspended him, I believe.”
“Yes. So, isn’t this proof? The S-class flaunts its power and disrupts the order of the academy.”
“. . . . . .”
“Even though you introduced the S-class rank to the king, it seems to have been in vain. I’ll report to the aristocratic federation and the summoner guild with the report from the Student Council, signatures from B-class students, and signatures and reports from teachers who agree with my opinion.”
“. . . . . .Do as you wish.”
ㅤ
The summoner guild is a place where free summoners not affiliated with any kingdom take on requests.
Summoner guilds exist worldwide. With the power of a specific Summoned beast, they’ve built a unique network, and their information and organizational abilities are trusted by the Asgard Kingdom and other countries.
By the way, the summoner guild is a neutral entity. They don’t side with any particular country.
ㅤ
“Even with your influence, if both the aristocratic federation and the summoner guild oppose, you won’t be able to keep the S-class. Indeed, Parasitic type Summoned beasts are powerful and have merits in demon subjugation… but if they disrupt order, it’s a different story.”
“. . . . . .Enough. Step back.”
“Yes. Then, excuse me.”
ㅤ
Oswald left the principal’s office without bowing.
Meteore let out a deep sigh.
ㅤ
“Oh dear. Class supremacy. . . . . .it’s tough to deal with. I hope the S-class manages well.”
ㅤ
Meteore stood up, opened the window, and took in a deep breath of the fresh air outside.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
Oswald headed to the Student Council Room.
Upon entering the Student Council Room, a few men and women were busy with paperwork.
Seeing Oswald, they stood up and bowed.
Esterize was also among them.
ㅤ
“Good work, Teacher Oswald.”
“Yes, you too, Esterize-kun.”
ㅤ
Work was temporarily halted.
Oswald sat on a sofa, while Esterize asked a B-class student to prepare tea.
Upon Oswald’s invitation, Esterize sat on the sofa across from him.
ㅤ
“So. . . . . .how did it go?”
“Hmm. With this many signatures and a protest letter, plus the suspension, even the principal would be out of options. I felt some resistance when approaching the nobility federation. . . . . .heh, the continuation of the S-class seems nearly impossible now.”
“Is that so. . . . . .I’m glad.”
“Yes. Esterize-kun, you did very well.”
“No. The existence of a grade like S-class, which I don’t understand its meaning, should not be allowed. The top should be A-class.”
“Exactly.”
ㅤ
Oswald smiled contentedly.
Esterize too, was deeply ingrained in the same class supremacy ideology as Oswald.
“Esterize-kun. You’re doing very well. I appreciate it.”
“Not at all. I’ve learned so much from Professor Oswald. How to be an A-class Summoner, how to use power. . . . . .I’m the one who should be grateful.”
“Haha. In the future too, I hope to work together as fellow A-class Summoners.”
“Yes!”
ㅤ
Esterize was wearing a smile as bright as a flower.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
Tea was served, and Oswald and Esterize enjoyed their teatime.
Then, Oswald casually muttered a sentence.
ㅤ
“By the way, I wonder what the four from S-class are doing right now?”
“. . . . . .They’re suspended, so they should be doing the assignments given by the teachers. . . . . .Hmph, that Ashe. I thought she might be useful.”
“Ashe?. . . . . .Ah, the one from B-class.”
ㅤ
Esterize had already lost interest in Ashe.
Then, a thought crossed Oswald’s mind.
ㅤ
“Assignments, huh. . . . . .I’m a bit curious.”
“Teacher Oswald?”
“No, who gave them the assignments?”
“Wait a moment. . . . . .Raven, Raven!”
ㅤ
Esterize called out to a student looking at some documents by the window.
A young boy, Esterize’s classmate, with long tied-up black hair.
ㅤ
“Yes, President? What do you need?”
“Find out what the S-class folks are up to.”
“Alrighty~. Come, 『Black Raven』.”
ㅤ
A jet-black crow perched on Raven’s shoulder.
When Raven opened the window, the crow flew away.
ㅤ
“Okay. Wait a bit. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Then, a crow appeared again on Raven’s shoulder.
The ability of the Summoned beast 『Black Raven』 is 『Division』, where it can create a clone of itself. The vision of the clone is shared, making it an ideal beast for espionage.
This was the ability of one of the 『Asgard Eight Rounds』, Raven Darkgray, the first son of the Count family and the Student Council’s public relations officer.
Black Raven perched surrounding the S-class dormitory.
ㅤ
“Hmm, they’re not in the dorm or the school building. They’re not on the school grounds either.”
ㅤ
Flocks of crows flew all over the kingdom, but they couldn’t find Albero and the others.
Then, they spotted a carriage running on the outskirts of the kingdom.
ㅤ
“Oh. . . . . .that looks suspicious.”
ㅤ
A crow approached the carriage.
Just as it was about to move to the front. . . . . .
ㅤ
『━━. . . . . .』
“───?!”
ㅤ
A bullet-like object was fired from the index finger of a boy with a monstrous left arm.
ㅤ
“W, What the?!?!”
“Raven?!”
ㅤ
The feed from the Black Raven was suddenly cut off.
Raven was unharmed, but he felt the moment the bullet hit.
ㅤ
“Hey, what happened?!”
“No, well. . . . . .it was shot down. The S-class guys are probably outside the country. . . . . .”
“Outside the country, you say?”
“. . . . . .Hmm.”
ㅤ
Oswald paused to think for a moment but quickly dismissed the thought.
ㅤ
“Well, it’s fine. It’s too late to do anything now anyway.”
ㅤ
Neither the teachers nor the students knew.
That Albero and the others from S-class had secretly gone on a demon subjugation mission.
