One day, a B-class Summoner arrived at the S-class dormitory.
There was a knock on the door, and when Lapis responded with “Yes?”, it slowly opened.
The person standing there was Grits, the B-class Summoner.
ㅤ
“Um, S-class summoner Albero・Rushout. Uh. . . . . .the Student Council President and Teacher Oswald have summoned you. Please come to the senior meeting room in the main school building.”
“What?. . . . . .Another summons? So troublesome.”
“Oh, Grits. It feels like it’s been a while.”
“Hey! Ignore the summons! You. . . . . .running away is not an option!”
ㅤ
As Kid shouted, Grits squealed softly in fright.
Currently, Albero and the others were engaged in a card duel in the conversation room. Kid had suffered consecutive losses and was getting heated up.
By the way, Yorha was at the top, followed by Lapis, then Albero. Ashe and Ridelle switched places, and Kid was at the bottom.
Nisrok fell asleep halfway through, taking a nap on the floor after playing once. Leivinia couldn’t remember the rules and was playfully clinging to Albero’s back.
Yorha, fidgeting with her cards, said,
ㅤ
“About the summons. . . . . .probably, it’s not going to be anything good, right?”
“Who knows. Besides, I have something to ask Oswald.”
“. . . . . .No fighting, okay? Even if you are an S-class, if you raise your hand against a teacher, it’s over.”
“I understand.”
ㅤ
Albero handed his cards to Leivinia.
ㅤ
“Oh, I can play in your stead?”
“Yes. Play for me.”
“Alright! I’ve been watching, so I roughly remember the rules! Fufu, there’s no way I’ll lose!”
“Hey, YOU! Don’t run away━━whuf?!”
ㅤ
Ridelle’s elbow landed in Kid’s stomach.
ㅤ
“Well, take care.”
“T, Thanks. . . . . .Ridelle, you’re getting strict with Kid, huh?”
“Really? Look, your escort is waiting.”
“Alright. I’ll go change.”
ㅤ
Albero went to his room to change into his S-class uniform. When he returned to the conversation room, the card duel had resumed.
ㅤ
“Yes! I’m out first!”
“Ashe is out first. Okay, I won’t lose either!”
“Hey, me too!”
“Fufufu. Maybe I should let someone else win for a change. It’s boring always being on top, right?”
“I won’t lose either!”
“All of you, just shut up and play!! You jerks!!”
“ZzzZz~~”
ㅤ
The card game was heating up.
Meanwhile, completely forgotten, Grits waited.
ㅤ
“Alright, let’s go.”
“Y, Yes. . . . . .”
“Where was it again?”
“. . . . . .The senior meeting room in the main school building.”
“Got it.”
ㅤ
By the way, Albero had completely forgotten about Grits.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
The senior conference room in our main building felt like a courtroom.
There was a podium in the center, surrounded by tables.
When Albero entered the conference room, the Student Council President and the Student Council officers were already seated in large numbers.
ㅤ
“Hm?. . . . . .Isn’t that. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Beside Esterize sat a familiar man.
Then, he realized. It was Sanbart, the brother of Yorha. The reason for his presence was unclear, but it seemed like it would be troublesome.
With a look of reluctance, Albero was guided by Grits to the front podium.
Even though he hadn’t done anything wrong, he felt like a criminal on trial.
ㅤ
“Well, shall we begin?”
“Begin what?”
“Albero・Rushout. I have a question for you.”
ㅤ
Oswald ignored Albero’s question.
ㅤ
“You are suspected of insulting the Student Council.”
“What?. . . . . .Insult the Student Council? What’s that? . . . . . .No way, that’s absurd.”
“. . . . . .Press conference. You insulted the Student Council, didn’t you?”
“Insulted? No, I just stated the facts. You abandoned the F-class and extracted Abel’s combat data, and only the A-class and B-class were in the operation, right?”
“The issue at hand is that you insulted the A-class, the Student Council, the B-class, at the press conference!”
“If you have a problem, complain to the newspaper company. I just stated the facts.”
“There’s no proof that it’s the truth! The Student Council and the faculty cannot forgive someone who insults students based on mere speculation!”
“Hmm. . . . . .Well, it doesn’t matter. There’s proof and whatnot, and it’s the truth. Besides, I’m not interested in A-class or B-class. I don’t care about the Student Council, and I don’t care what the faculty thinks.”
“You!!!”
“Excuse me, teacher. May I ask a question?”
ㅤ
A chilling aura filled the senior conference room from Albero.
ㅤ
“Did you order them to leave the F-class to die?”
“. . . . . .What are you talking about?”
“Just so you know. If I find the teacher who ordered the F-class to be left for dead, they’ll be restrained, their assets confiscated, and their titles stripped. Execution for treating the lives of promising young people like trash. The charge would be. . . . . .『Leaving promising young people to die』, right?”
“Wh. . . . . .Such a charge…”
“Absurd, right? Ha, it’s as absurd as the Student Council insult charge.”
“You. . . . . .dammit!!”
ㅤ
Oswald stood up and threw his glove at Albero.
ㅤ
“A duel! For insulting the Student Council, insulting the faculty, and threatening to frame me! I will personally pass judgment on you! Accept the duel, Albero・Rushout!!”
“Hahaha. That’s ridiculous, are you out of your mind? Well, I accept the duel.”
ㅤ
Albero picked up the glove.
He then surveyed the entire senior conference room.
ㅤ
“It’ll be over in ten seconds with just the teacher. . . . . .Why don’t all the Student Council officers come at me? I want to test something, and you seem like good practice.”
“Youuuuuuu!!”
ㅤ
Oswald, enraged, shouts. However, Albero brushed it off.
Esterize, Rashild, Sanbart, Raven, and the Student Council officers stand up.
Esterize was trembling with anger.
ㅤ
“You, don’t take us too lightly. . . . . .I desire a duel. I’ll shatter that confidence of yours.”
“A sister getting beaten up by her ignored younger brother, sounds like a juicy story for a newspaper company, huh.”
ㅤ
Thus, on a whim, Albero picked a fight with the Student Council. . . . . .and with Oswald.
To avoid any misunderstanding, I’ll say it once again.
Albero, without thinking of the consequences, acted and spoke on impulse, and impulsively picked a fight.
