I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 7 Duties of the Board
Previous story:
Eva returns to the kingdom of Well and she spends the rest of her vacation time with Vivian. As she and Vivian enjoy their time in the capital, Eva accidentally bumps into a young man with a very familiar appearance. Eva felt she had seen the young man before, but she did not remember him. Until the young man started to leave and he remembered that he was very similar to his sister.
***
Today the holidays are over. Vivian and I went back to the dormitory to start our first class as second-rate students. I remember that Eva only lived her life until she became a third-rate student in the novel. Because Denis killed her before she could become a grown woman.
I tried to remember some of the events that happened when I started becoming a second-rate student. This is a crucial moment, the origin of the destruction. Where Diana began to be sickly and eventually died one year ahead. As well as the origin of the destruction of the Court family.
But I don't think that's going to happen this time. I'm not going to let that happen. Diana did not look sick at all. He's healthy and even we have Evan as well. So you shouldn't worry too much.
The first day as a second-rate disciple in the academy was the same as his usual days. My class is also separate from Vivian. And when I entered the classroom, I saw some familiar faces. My classmates are more or less the same as before. It only changed a few people, which could even be counted on the fingers.
When I entered, the class was quiet. They all stopped their conversation and started looking at me. I'm used to this kind of look. So why? No problem at all. Just look at me like you guys are staring at a bad guy.I don't care at all Humph! I immediately found an empty chair to sit down.
Well, I think like that. But some people started approaching me especially the noble ladies. With a smile on their faces, they started praising me.
I clenched my forehead confused. I remembered that their gazes were not friendly at the time, but now they began to approach me with fawning gazes. They are not sincere at all. I can tell by their expressions.
"Sorry, I'm tired. I can't go anywhere" I politely declined all of them.
Some of them invited me to their mansion. Some invited me to shop together. Some people invited me to eat together. But I refused all those calls. It's not that I'm arrogant, but I'm sure something's going on between nobles that makes them suddenly approach me like this.
After I rejected them. All those noble children returned to their seats with sour faces. At that time, I accidentally met Lilac's eyes. The girl flinched as our eyes met and she started to throw her gaze awkwardly.
"..…”
I don't even know since when we became awkward with each other like this.
Classes are over. Today the teachers only explained a few basic things to using advanced magic.
In first grade, they taught car to use basic level magic. Second grade, they teach advanced magic. And third grade, they teach high-level magic. So it is desirable that every graduate of this academy master one high-level magic. Although there are some genius individuals who master a lot of high-level magic.
I heard Denis is the best graduate genius. He had managed to master eight high-level magic. I'm actually losing to Denis. I have only mastered four high-level magic for now, I will try to learn other magic later.
I was intending to return to the dormitory, but there was a sudden commotion in front of our class. As the teacher began to leave the classroom, the children began to scatter forward as if they were chasing something. I also peeked.
It was Denis. He was in front of our class. She was like her was talking to Reina in the spectacle by many curious people. I had no interest in knowing the content of their conversation at all, but these people blocked the exit so I felt hard from being squeezed by so many people.
Suddenly someone pulled my hand and set me free from the urge. I can finally breathe.
"Thank you." I turned and saw Denis beside me. My throat was blocked and my voice stopped.
"Follow me.." Denis said briefly. She pulled Eva somewhere under the gaze of many people. Leaving Reina there, who was looking at Eva with an unhappy look.
I didn't rebel and let Denis pull me. The man took me to the board room which was empty at the time.
"What's wrong?" I asked while throwing his hand.
"..."
Denis was silent when he saw Eva throw away her hand. But he opened his mouth with a flat expression. "I want to ask you for help"
I'm appalled. This is the first time I've heard Denis want to ask me for help. "What's that?" ask me with curious eyes.
"I'll be gone for a while. Replace me as chairman of the Council since you're vice chairman" Denis said sharply. "They have a lot of activities these days and really need leaders"
When I heard it, I was immediately silent. Honestly, I don't want to. Besides Denis made me vice-chairman of the council by force. That's not my wish at all.
"Aren't you going?" Denis expression dimmed. "In the future, you will be my companion, so you will have to get used to the various tasks to replace me" he said.
His words made my emotions rise. I want to get angry. But then he continued.
"Especially when I'm not around. You have to be ready to take care of everything yourself" he said.
After hearing this, I did not get angry. Denis appreciates this kingdom. He did everything to make his kingdom prosperous. I immediately recalled, when she died on the battlefield, Reina married the leader of the Holy City. The kingdom of Well was the first kingdom to become the base for the Holy City. There is no kingdom of Well anymore in the future, it is changing to the Holy City.
"All right." I nodded in agreement. "But I'll just help as much as I can" I said later. If there is a difficult task beyond my ability, I will not bear it.
"No problem. Just do what you can" Denis smiled.
"OK" the conversation's over. I wanted to go back to the dorm, but Denis stopped me.
"Don't get too close to the prince of that Kano" he said suddenly. He looked at me with an unhappy look. "I heard from Reina that you spend a lot of time with her. Don't you realize your status as my fiancee?" said sharp.
"We're just friends. And you can't prevent me from being friends with anyone at all" I said with a sullen face.
Denis immediately stiffened. Maybe my words are too cruel, but I don't care. If he doesn't like me at all when I'm friends with other people, he can stay away. I don't have a problem with that at all.
And somehow, I didn't use formal language when I spoke to Denis. Maybe because I'm too used to it. And I don't care much about politeness anymore since our relationship has deteriorated. I had given up on finding face in front of him by pretending to be good. I'mtired.
Denis wants to talk about something "You.." but his voice is choked. Like that guy wants to be angry. But I didn't care and immediately turned around to leave her. He didn't stop me at all this time. So I sighed in relief.
Eva had no idea that Denis was looking at her sadly back then.
***
The next day, I came to the council room reluctantly. But I kept getting myself to come. Even though I know it's not a good place.
I've never heard that Reina was colonized by those councillors when she started getting close to Denis. After all, they are all talented and civilized people. They would not do immoral bullying to Reina. They could only bully him while fighting, but the opportunity never came at all. But in the end these talented women who follow Denis will only be his bodyguards in the future.
I've been dealing with one of the council members. I even forgot his name. Emm...If not wrong Geranina?
I entered nervously. When I entered I could see six people in the room. Five women and one man with glasses. All of them were students who had just risen to the third level. Geranina is here too.
When I opened the door, I was the center of attention. As I walked in and headed to the chairman's chair, their eyes followed me. I'm sure they're not happy with my whereabouts, right? What am I supposed to do now? If they suddenly taunt me, I should pretend not to hear and put on a poker face. That's the best choice.
But all the possibilities I thought didn't happen at all. The bespectacled man suddenly bowed respectfully. "Welcome, miss".
The five girls nearby also bowed their bodies, even Geranina "Welcome Miss" they said in unison.
I looked shocked. Even my eyeballs almost came out so surprised. I did not expect this to happen at all! What's up with them? Why are they so respectful to me?
"Ehem!" I tried to wake myself up to be dignified. I'm Denis' replacement now. "I'll replace Denis for a few days" I said frontally. "You know that, don't you?"
The glasses guy smiled. "Yes" he answered kindly.
Gulp!
I still can't believe all the hospitality I've seen.
"Include me, my name is Zion. I'm the council secretary" she introduced herself. Sion then introduced the five girls behind him. "He's named Geranina, he's the treasurer. She's named Nia, she's the head of discipline. While that one was named Dian, he was the head of the magic swordsman. The girl beside Dian was Hera, she was the head of the witches. And the last one is Rose, she's the head of the lab. While we have hundreds of active and inactive members." he explained.
Then Zion also explained that all the students in this academy automatically joined the board. There are active and inactive members.
They were all the essential cores of the council, and only they could enter this room. The Board is an organization formed to organize the students. The organization is formed by the headmaster directly.
I nodded in understanding after hearing his explanation. I know a little about the structure of this organization now.
Sion smiled as he looked at Eva's response. Llau suddenly took out a piling of raucous space from his dimension and placed it in the corner of the table.
BAM!
Those mountain files hit the table.
"Your Majesty is always traveling. He neglects many tasks. There are many tasks that have not been signed" he said with a sincere smile. But that smile felt really awful to me.
"..."
I can't even speak now. I have to read all these files. Isn't this hell?
Zion did not wait for Eva's response. He immediately stepped out of the room casually. Five other girls followed him. Before closing the door of the room, Sion said with a smile. "Miss spirit"
"...."
I'm sure he doesn't encourage me at all. It was obvious that he was smiling to mock me just now!
Haa~
I let out a breath.
I can only step down now and do my job well. Besides, if I protest, no one will care. So doing that is just a waste of my energy.
I tried to read the files one by one. Everything was a matter that occurred in the academy as it was about the fights between the students and the destruction of the school environment. There are even some budget costs incurred by board members and so on.
For seven consecutive days, I took care of all those files. Until finally stack the paper is getting thinner. And on the last day only one file remained. When I read that last case, I was quite surprised.
"The infiltration of dark witches into the academy"
