I Became the Student Council President of Academy City-Chapter 85

“Your attention to detail in selecting new members for the HR team, even for the sake of the future of the Disciplinary Committee! Truly, a role model for all students!”

“Uh, yeah….”

Isn’t that a bit much?

“To reward you for your hard work, I’ll give you a massage. I’ve been waiting for this moment.”

“A massage? If you’re offering, I’ll gratefully accept.”

Min-hyuk approached me and began to tap my shoulders.

‘It’s more refreshing than I expected…?’

Min-hyuk, being a rare healer, was only a third-rank, so I didn’t expect much strength from him, but surprisingly, the massage was quite relaxing.

“I’m glad to finally use the skills I honed during the vacation for you, Chief!” “No need to go that far… But thank you.”

At this point, am I getting used to the pressure?

No, to be honest, I don’t mind him flattering me and trying to be helpful. It’s one of the reasons I care about Min-hyuk.

Maybe that’s why. I can see why office workers in my past life would flatter their business partners or superiors.

Well, the situation here isn’t much different.

Even if it’s superficial, it’s hard not to feel good, and since Min-hyuk isn’t even being superficial, I find it even more likable.

“Huh?”

From the sofa, Yoo Do-ha slowly peeked her head over the backrest and stared at me. Or rather, it felt more like she was glaring at me.

“Yoo Do-ha, is there something you want to say?” “I’m not pleased that someone as busy as you helped out unnecessarily with a task that could have been handled by the HR team. You’re just creating more work for yourself.”

Her tone was the exact opposite of Min-hyuk’s, laced with thorns.

“What’s the problem with that? I’m sure I’ve explained my reasons.” “Hmph, whatever.”

Do-ha snorted and lay back down on the sofa.

‘What’s her problem?’

Does she have a grudge against me?

I couldn’t figure it out.

Just then, I heard the sound of someone running outside the door.

“Huff!”

Whoosh! Bang!

Like someone fleeing to a shelter after hearing an air raid siren, Min-hyuk quickly dove back into the cabinet and closed the door.

I looked toward the cabinet. Min-hyuk’s sudden reaction made sense. His tormentor was approaching.

Soon, the office door burst open.

“Ta-da! Wild Ha Ye-song has appeared!”

Ha Ye-song made a grand entrance.

Everyone greeted her.

“Hey, Chief, Chief~.”

Ye-song immediately approached me.

‘What is this?’

What’s she hiding behind her back?

Ye-song was grinning, as if something good had happened.

“Is there something going on?” “We’ve only been dealing with serious issues lately, right?”

That’s true.

There was the case of Baek-seo’s disappearance and abduction. The large-scale battle with Moon Chae-yeon. The discovery of connections between the Six Sinners and a mysterious figure behind them. Ongoing investigations.

There hasn’t been anything remotely pleasant.

Moreover, the investigations are still ongoing.

Moon Chae-yeon hasn’t even woken up yet.

“We even caught the Technomancer, and it was concluded that you weren’t at fault, Chief! But isn’t it unfair that we haven’t gotten anything for it!? This is unjust treatment!”

Ye-song was passionately arguing.

Technically, the Disciplinary Committee’s achievements have piled up, but can that really be called a reward?

‘There hasn’t been any tangible reward, that’s true.’

“Yeah, but so what?” “Amid all this! I’ve brought something amazing. Want to see?”

What could it be?

“Park Min-hyuk! You too, come out and see!” “Hic!”

Ye-song opened the cabinet and forcibly dragged Min-hyuk out. Min-hyuk was startled, like a vampire exposed to sunlight.

“Do-ha too!”

Do-ha got up from the sofa and approached, while Baek-seo, who had been quietly observing from behind, came closer to me.

As we all focused on Ye-song,

“Tada!”

Ye-song placed something she had hidden behind her back onto my desk.

It was a luxurious letter.

“A letter?” “Isn’t that the Federation Council’s seal?”

Min-hyuk exclaimed in surprise. Indeed, the envelope bore the seal of the Federation Council.

“I just picked it up and came straight here!”

Ye-song spread her fingers in a V sign.

“Considering the timing, just after our tremendous achievements and the end of the disciplinary hearing, a letter from the Federation Council? This has to be a reward! My instincts are telling me so!” “Calm down.”

Ye-song was excited, her breath coming in puffs.

The letter was addressed to five members of the Ahseong High Disciplinary Committee.

‘A reward, huh…. Last time, they informed us via email.’

Last semester, I received an email from the Federation Council informing me that I had earned Platinum Mileage.

‘But a letter all of a sudden?’

The Federation Council only uses analog letters for significant matters.

In other words, this wasn’t just a letter about receiving a reward.

Riiip.

I opened the envelope and pulled out its contents.

It was indeed a letter.

I unfolded it immediately.

Blank.

The entire letter was empty, except for five marks at the bottom.

Each mark had an image of a fingerprint.

“It’s a fingerprint recognition system. Everyone, place your fingers on it.” “Good thing all five of us are here!”

As we each placed our fingers on the designated marks, the letter began to glow as magical energy surged up, and text appeared, shining brightly.

Soon, the light from the text faded.

After removing our fingers, we began to read the newly revealed contents of the letter.

Or rather, there wasn’t much to read.

[To the Ahseong High Disciplinary Committee. Three days from now, on Thursday, at 3 PM. We will send someone.]

“Hmm…?”

A silence followed.

Ye-song carefully examined the letter to see if there was anything else, but there wasn’t.

It was simply a direct message, without even the usual formalities.

Soon.

Fwoosh!

“Whoa!”

When the letter caught fire, Ye-song was startled and dropped it, stepping back. Min-hyuk almost fell over.

The letter was quickly consumed by flames.

It was a natural ignition caused by magic. The letter itself was a magical artifact developed by the Federation Council.

“Oh…?”

Ye-song let out a sound close to admiration.

“What, what is this…? Chief, could this be a death threat or something…?”

Min-hyuk was terrified.

A death threat. Given the performance, it feels similar.

“Hey, Min-hyuk. Think for a moment. Would it really be that?”

Ye-song lightly tapped her forehead with her index finger, but she also seemed a bit flustered.

Do-ha, too, appeared tense.

After all, the Federation Council had just sent a letter saying they would send someone. They seemed worried that another incident like the last disciplinary hearing might occur.

I needed to ease their anxiety quickly.

“Just like Ye-song initially said, this is indeed a reward letter.” “Huh?” “Here. The color of the seal is the same as the one they use when giving rewards.”

Though the letter was gone, the envelope remained. I pointed to the seal on it.

“Oh? Really? The seal color indicates that?” I knew because I had seen it in the original story.

If the seal was gold, it meant a reward.

“How did you know that? I’ve never heard of such information….” “Chief, that’s not something you’d find on the internet.”

The reason you wouldn’t find it online was that it was extremely rare to receive a letter from the Federation Council.

Even if someone did receive a letter, they often wouldn’t post it online just in case.

Given how the letter burned itself, it strongly implied that its contents shouldn’t be disclosed. That’s probably why.

“I happened to learn about it by coincidence, having received rewards from the Federation Council twice during the first semester. Is that really important?” “You seem especially competent today, Chief….” “I’ve always been competent.”

Ye-song needed to refrain from making her usual nonsensical remarks.

“Anyway, don’t worry too much.”

Relief washed over Ye-song, Min-hyuk, and Do-ha’s faces.

“If the Chief says so, then….” “If the Chief says so, I’d even believe it if he said dogs meow.”

At that point, you don’t need to believe it.

Anyway.

‘Even though I said that, something still feels off.’

I had a bad feeling about this.

…

“Chief of the Disciplinary Committee, hello~. We’ve come from the Federation Council!”

Three days later.

Two people from the Federation Council’s Spartan division arrived at the Disciplinary Committee’s reception room.

One of them, a girl wearing a nun’s habit over her school uniform, smiled warmly at me.

“…Welcome.”

She was a direct subordinate of the Principal.

One of the strong in Neo Seoul, Son Ye-seo.
