The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess
Chapter Summary
"I had just picked up my cup and taken a sip of black tea when I heard Becky's words, which I had been quite calm about, that I was to take over her position as student council president. Perhaps during that period, we couldn't recruit any strong students, so we could only reluctantly let someone who knew intermediate magic but was incredibly weak take the position of a red-robed noble. Furthermore, I know nothing about anything in the academy; the only thing I know is to teach Lila and Elena so...
"What...
It's Senior Becky.
""Then who do you think it is?
But Ivy, your strength is really no less than any other student except me.
I'm really becoming more and more interested in you.
"At this moment, a mischievous smile involuntarily appeared on Becky's face, as excited as a wolf seeing a flock of sheep.
"what……"However, I have a feeling that this student council president is quite dangerous, so I'd better keep quiet and get out of this awful place as soon as possible.
"Okay, come on in.
"With that, Becky released the blades that were locked together and sheathed her longsword.
He walked quickly toward the student council office.
And so, I was ushered into the student council office.
Once I sat down on this comfortable and soft sofa and drank the black tea personally brewed by the student council president, Becky, my vigilance instantly dropped by half.
Because it's actually quite comfortable here.
If I were to lie down on this sofa right now, I probably would fall asleep in less than three minutes.
"Alright, let's get down to business now.
"As she spoke, Becky, the senior student, also brought her tea and sat down on the sofa opposite me.
She took a sip of tea and then looked at me with a serious expression.
"The important matter is...
"I couldn't help but swallow hard.
Although I already guessed it, it was definitely about trying to recruit me into the student council.
However, I am very resistant to it, so no matter how great the benefits are, I will not join, so I'm sorry.
“Ivy, I want you to succeed me as the student council president.
”"Oh, taking over the student council president position...
huh?
Cough cough cough...
"I had just picked up my cup and taken a sip of black tea when I heard Becky's words, which I had been quite calm about, that I was to take over her position as student council president.
I almost choked on my tea.
Damn, for a troublemaker like me to be the student council president?
That's giving me way too much credit.
Although I am very competitive and have a strong sense of responsibility, to say that I am the greatest person in the whole school is really giving me too much credit.
"Um...
Becky-senpai, please...
please allow me to refuse.
Really, it's such a waste for someone like me to be the student council president.
I hope you can find someone else.
I'm not really suitable.
"Although I spoke haltingly, I still managed to convey my meaning.
"I see.
You're worried that you won't be a good student council president.
""um, yes.
""Actually, you already noticed it when you were fighting that red-robed noble senior from the fourth year, right...
""What did you find?
"However, I always felt that Becky's words had a hidden meaning, as if she had unspeakable suffering.
"It's truly disgraceful for the red-robed nobles of the magic academy that someone with their level of strength can become a red-robed noble.
"This was something that just slipped out of her mouth, because she was really terrible at it.
"Uh, that's true.
"Even the most talented person wouldn't be defeated and forced to surrender by a single blow from me.
Their strength is indeed so weak that it can only be described as trash.
"Right, right?
As expected, Ivy, you and I agree.
They are all noble families who rose to power through connections, and no one dares to challenge them, which is why they have been sitting in the positions of the red-robed nobles.
""Well...
no wonder.
Normally, as a red-robed noble, one should be exceptionally strong, otherwise, it would really be a disgrace to the academy.
"I do understand what Senior Becky felt.
Perhaps during that period, we couldn't recruit any strong students, so we could only reluctantly let someone who knew intermediate magic but was incredibly weak take the position of a red-robed noble.
If I were the student council president, I'd rather not bestow titles upon the red-robed nobles than have these trashy people in those positions...
"But this year, after seeing you, I found hope, which is why I want you to become a student council president that I can entrust to before I am in sixth grade.
"However, Becky spoke very seriously, and it didn't sound like she was joking at all.
"But I...
""I know you have enough strength.
From the beginning, your duel with Lila, which severely injured Peach Demon King, and your passing the advanced magician assessment, while also making Lila, who was originally so weak, so powerful, all of this can fully demonstrate that you are very suitable to be the student council president.
""But I don't have confidence...
"Although Becky's words touched me, I really feel that I am not up to the task.
How should I put it?
I am actually quite hardworking, but I am so lazy inside.
The main reason is that when Becky reaches sixth grade, she will have to start preparing for graduation.
Perhaps a genius like her will become a magician in the royal city, given how strong she is.
"It's okay, Ivy, I'll wait for you.
I can give you more than six months to think it over.
You can answer me then.
Please.
"As she spoke, Becky stood up from her seat, bowed deeply to me, and lowered her head.
After I left, I did feel a little uncomfortable.
To be honest, it would be a waste for someone like me to be the student council president.
Although I'm confident in fighting and dueling, the position of student council president is indeed not suitable for me.
However, that's something I should consider six months from now.
The most important thing right now is to win the competition, learn fusion magic, and then spar with the student council president, Becky, to see just how strong she really is.
Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hongyan is only one step away from success.
So, our chat lasted quite a while, actually past 3:30.
"It's so slow.
"At this moment, Lila said, somewhat angrily.
"Ha, sorry, sorry, actually, I was dragged to the student council president's office...
"Actually, I was embarrassed to say that the student council president, Becky, asked me to go to the student council office to find her, because it would be a bit embarrassing.
"What?
You were actually dragged into the student council president's office?
"Elena was somewhat surprised.
Although she remained expressionless, it was clear that this was indeed unexpected.
"So, what did the student council president say to you?
He wasn't trying to recruit you into the student council, was he?
"At this moment, Lila squinted her eyes and asked with great disdain.
"Hehehe, that's right, and it seems she still wants me to succeed her as student council president.
"I couldn't help but chuckle to myself, because this was just too surreal.
How could such a troublemaker be a role model for the students and set an example?
It was just too much for me.
"Huh?
Ivy, did I hear that right?
You're the student council president?!
Oh my god!
"At this moment, Lila's eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets.
She didn't believe it was true, because, to put it simply, I could at most be a student council officer, and it was really unlikely that I would become the student council president.
"So, do you agree?
""No, I said I haven't thought about it yet.
"At that moment, I responded to Elena's words.
The position of student council president is too burdensome.
Although I am capable enough, I feel that I am not likely to be able to fulfill the role.
Furthermore, I know nothing about anything in the academy; the only thing I know is to teach Lila and Elena some of the magical theories I'm tasked with, so that they can become stronger.
"Sigh...
Seriously, if you, the big devil, are going to become the student council president, I feel like the academy is going to be in trouble.
"At this moment, Lila couldn't help but shake her big golden head and blurted out something without any restraint.
But I'm not that bad in her eyes.
Although I usually like to tease Lila, especially when she's asleep...
well, I haven't gone too far, have I?
Although if Lila's future husband knew what she looked like, he definitely wouldn't want her.
However, if others don't want her, then I will.
Because it's so fragrant, so lovely, and so proud, where can you find such a wonderful treasure?
"Lila-chan—"Instantly, my face darkened, and I called out Lira's name in a drawn-out voice.
"Eek...
Ivy, what are you doing?
Don't take this opportunity to do anything to me...
This is the academy.
"At this moment, Lila's face turned deathly pale, she shuddered involuntarily, and her voice began to tremble.
What do you think I want to do?
I maintained the same tone, but quickly revealed a murderous smile on my face.
"Who...
who, who knows what you're trying to do?
Alright, it's almost four o'clock, let's hurry back, we still need to discuss our next opponent...
"Without saying a word, Lila turned around and started running.
It seems she's terrified that I'll "love" her.
But since I can't "love" her now, I'll just have to talk about it when we go to bed tonight.
Anyway, you can't escape me.
And so, after everything was finished, we headed back to the royal castle by carriage.
The discussion time today was very short.
Because Lila's opponent...
might be a bit too strong.
