Chapter 9: Vice-President!


    Seth Albeck.


    A character in the novel ''The Rise of Thunder Emperor'' was destined to fall into ruins because of the conspiracies and plots he yed against the boy named Arata.


    But there was a reason why a third-year student council president ever thought about targeting Arata in the first ce.


    And the reason was Seth''s first love and his fiancee, La Alfred.


    La was one of the heroines who fell for Arata early on in the story. Or to be precise, she was the first person Arata encountered in the school, and slowly yet surely La fell for Arata''s gentle and considerate behavior.


    Seth always seemed to be cold toward her which made La even more attached to Arata.


    But La never realized how much Seth loved her to the point where he regarded Arata as his nemesis and started to do everything to destroy his enemy.


    From torturing to rape. Maniption to abuse. Seth did everything to destroy those whom Arata considered precious.


    La slowly started to hate Seth and in the end, he was ughtered by the protagonist without receiving an ounce of recognition from the girl whom Seth ever came to love.


    _________..


    [MC''s POV:]


    ''Quite heavy eh… ''


    I thought about the woman who unintentionally made Seth a mid-rank viin and also brought him to his demise.


    Well, surely it wasn''t La''s fault to ignore Seth since thetter was a hardcore tsundere who never was able to straight on confess his love.


    At this point in the story, La must have started to grow feelings toward the hero. During the orientation of the first-year students they met and after that La kept oning across the protagonist, ''coincidentally''.


    Back to the present.


    The letter I found on my table was a regr tea invitation. It wasn''t that La wanted to meet me, rather it was just for public disy.


    Royalties and their customs*Sigh*.


    The time mentioned was around lunch so I just packed the letter back in the envelope and went to research work on hand.


    I practiced Seth''s signature yesterday and realized quiteter that somehow I could understand this world''snguage even though it wasn''t Japanese.


    Unfolding the Budget report, I checked the content but most of the things seemed to be a bump over my head. So I chose the best option in hand.


    "Vice President Minora."


    "Hai!"


    With a resolute voice, the Vice-President stood up like she was reporting in a military assembly. But well, this behavior suited her stern appearance.


    "You went through the Budget?"


    "Yes, President. I have checked everything thoroughly and nothing seemed to be excessively summed up. Compared tost year, this budget seems quite stable in my opinion."


    I didn''t reply, just nced once again at the sheet. One thing which made me slightly confused was the column of ''Personalized Training Dolls'' which didn''t have much value added but still was partially allotted to only one club.


    "Is this a mistake or are we favoring the Martial Arts club with these automated dolls, Minora?"


    There are various clubs that require dummies for practice like the Spell Weaving club. But they have a regr supply of training dummies unlike the ones written under the Martial Artsbel.


    I nced at the red-headed Vice President for an answer when I saw her sweating at her ce quite profoundly and anxiety was written over her face.


    Then it clicked.


    A sudden memory shed in my mind and I remembered somehow that the Vice President has a love affair with a second-year guy who ''coincidentally'' belongs to the Martial Arts Club.


    Anger boiled inside me as I felt like venting over the girl and tearing this budget in two but I held it in.


    People mostly hated Seth because of his crisp and rude words and Minora was also one of them. I might have some memories and traits of Seth lying dormant but it''s not like I would let those features overwhelm me.


    "Be a little careful next time."


    I am sure she must have been surprised hearing not something harsh but just a faint warning but I have many things to sort out first.


    I signed the budget and went to check the other files lying on the table and grasped as much knowledge as I could.


    Time flew and people moved in and out without disturbing me. I was so immense in my studies that I never realized when the clock hit one.


    Thanks to the diligent secretary I have who doesn''t let me forget anything.


    "President, about the meeting with Lady La."


    Halting my eyes, I closed the file as a sigh subconsciously left my lips.


    All the weariness suddenly started to weigh down my shoulders, but I knew making excuses wouldn''t help here.


    ''Well, I have to end this before it goes any further… ''
