Chapter 2. Student Council Outbreak

Every day, 70,000 legions led by the Marquis of Juden march towards the Kingdom of Ledon.

Thus, the lords of the Kingdom of Leaden moved in haste. The first thing they did was not raise an army to protect the country, but to call their children who were in the Royal School.

Students attending the Royal School were mostly children of noble families ruling the territory. If they are captured by the Horn Empire, they are a great hostage to the honor of the nation.

The Royal School could not help but consider closure, as the civilians of Ledon City in turn evacuated from the districts. In front of him, Kingdom of Ledon became a battlefield, and we couldn't keep the students in the dormitory.

Principal Duron decided to close the meeting with the professor. And before the announcement of the holiday, I finally decided to consult with the student council.

“I'm Mitchell Roddock, student council president. ”

“This is Deputy Chairman John Spain. You asked for me, Principal. ”

Mitchell and John were called to the principal's office.

“Welcome. ”

Duke Duron gladly looks at the two of you.

“You of all people should know the current situation in this country. I was surprised to read back about the research assignment you guys submitted yesterday. Did you expect the Horn Empire to attack King Leaden at any moment? ”

Then Mitchell points to John next to him.

“I was not expecting this at all, and John's strong claim was to append a strategy for that situation to the appendix. ”

“Oh, is that true, Vice President? ”

John nods proudly.

“Yes, I had a feeling that if an enemy were to ambush the Kingdom of Lerdon unexpectedly, they would try to win the war in the beginning of the war. ”

“What made you think that? ”

“That's... a hunch. ”

John blushes, embarrassed.

Duke Duron bursts into laughter.

“Haha, now that I see it, the Vice Chairman is born of genius as a commander. ”

“Oh, no. I just happened to hit it. ”

“No. The vice president saw exactly what happened today. I can't explain it because it's not theoretically organized in my head, but your senses instinctively detect the intent of the enemy. ”

“Now, I don't understand... ”

“Genius. There's just not enough learning to keep up with the theory of genius. It's been a long time since I saw the birth of a genius, huh? ”

“Have you ever seen the birth of another genius other than John? ”

Mitchell asked with an interested face.

Duke Duron grins.

“Here he is. Some geek named Caroc. ”

“Ah!”

“Your Excellency……! ”

They burst into elasticity.

“I still can't forget the day I first met the erl ligand. While the entire continent was in peril because of the chaos of the Black Leukemia, our royal family was saved by the fact that he possessed a large amount of the cure for Black Leukemia, Sachsel. ”

Duke Duron told me the story of the day.

Earl Duron was curious about a talented man named Caroc and came to talk to him in person. At that time, Caroc's claim impressed the late Duron.

You should sell your crops to Jell-O and get grain in return to solve the food shortage.

Negotiations to down-freeze the Baden River toll should pressure the post shoal fund line.

We should then enter into customs agreements with the Orient Kingdom, catch the price and activate the economy, and then promote the commercial industry to make the commercial sector the royal side.

We need to get Earl Ranzhel to the royal side and break the contingency.

Furthermore, we must ally ourselves with the Orient Kingdom to prepare for the invasion of the Horn Empire!

“That's when I shook hands with the emergence of the genius who will carry this country. What do you think?”

After hearing the first visa, Mitchell was moved and said.

“This is amazing. It's all true today. It was all an epic plan! Truly, you are a genius! ”

Duke Duron grins.

“Then I'll tell you an interesting story here. ”

Mitchell and John listen with curious faces.

Earl Duron has spoken.

“After a long time, the late lord ligand confessed to me. In fact, the stories were all spontaneous, and they'd never thought about it before. ”

“Ah…! ”

“All improvised?! ”

Mitchell and John were appalled.

“So the Marquis of Ligand still says he's not a genius, but I already knew he was. I never thought about it before, but I knew instinctively where this country was going. Now do you understand what I'm trying to say? ”

Duke Duron glances at the two of you with a satisfied expression.

“I think you're just as much a burden as I am to this country. This country barely made it this far with a talent called Caroc Ligand. And now we're left with only one final hurdle. Mitchell Roddock, John Spay, I want you both to help me overcome this ordeal. ”

The solemn message of the former royal school principal, Count Duron, was that Mitchell and John both felt a heavy obligation.

“I'll do my best. ”

“I will keep an eye on this country. ”

In Mitchell and John's reply, Duke Duron nods with a smile.

“Good.”

The late Duke Duron turned to the topic and said his point.

“We're done talking to the professor. The Headquarters has decided to take an indefinite sabbatical until the end of the war. I'm going to inform the students about this and disband them. What do you think? ”

Mitchell agreed.

“You have made the right decision. Students gathered here are all members of major noble families and must be returned to their families in a safe manner. ”

However, John next to him did not respond, but was troubled by something else.

The Marquis Duron speaks strangely about this.

“Vice chairman?”

“Yes? Oh, yes, sir. ”

“What do you think? ”

“I……. ”

John hesitated to answer.

Of course, we should close down and send the students back to their families. If you are held hostage by the Horn Empire, you will be beaten to death.

However, I was hesitant to agree.

His instinct was that the students should not be scattered.

“Vice chairman?”

When Duke Duron asks again, John wakes up from his troubles and opens his mouth as if he has made up his mind.

“Principal, I have an idea. Gather the students in the auditorium and give me a chance to speak. ”

“What does that mean? ”

The late Duron questioned Mitchell as well.

John said.

“I hear you've read our research assignments. ”

“Yes.”

“The assignment outlined a strategy to defend the enemy against the Kingdom of Leaden in the event of an unexpected attack. ”

“I read it. Impressive. ”

“In order to implement that strategy, we must not send students back. No... ”

John once again said:

“We can defend the Kingdom of Leaden. Students can do it by gathering their strength. Give us a chance. ”

Only then did the late Mitchello Duron look surprised to learn of John's concerns.

‘With this in mind, the late lord Julia showed us the secret passageway...? ’

At that moment, Mitchell couldn't help but think of Julia.
