Nathan widened his eyes in surprise. Even he felt a bit overwhelmed by their presence.
“Look. That is…” one student pointed at the woman that spoke earlier. She had long blond hair and a rather unique pair of golden eyes. Her movement was smooth and pleasing, belonging to the high class.
“She is the legendary student council president, the Azilia Kingdom’s First Princess, Flora Vietta Ezelia. It’s known that she manages to actually summon an ancient spirit. It won’t be long for her to summon a divine spirit and become the empress of the Azilia Kingdom in the future.”
“No, no. Take a look at the person next to her. He is the vice president of the student council, Axel Lotterl. It’s said that his talent is similar to Flora, and no one would be his match to succeed Flora in the future.”
Another student pointed at the man with blue hair.
Nathan couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, thinking that the aunty from the inn actually tipped him about the name of the people that figured out the hidden assignments. If he wasn’t wrong, she mentioned ‘Axel.’
‘So that’s Axel.’ Nathan squinted his eyes.
“Don’t just look at him. The secretary has a more romantic story. Regynar Lowee… he was just a commoner until one year ago. Once he became the secretary of the student council, he got engaged with the treasured daughter of Duke Lowee. It was said that he might become his successor, or at least get a position equal to it.”
The third person was a rather stiff person. He had a cool expression as he fixed his glasses, but people could see that he would definitely nag them if something wasn’t perfect.
“No, no, no. What’s the use of a position without money? Leon Strata is the son of the Strata Conglomerate. After becoming a treasurer, he brought many deals to the academy. It was said that the items we received were affected by the wealth he brought to this academy.”
“Still, they are third year students. There is one more second year in the student council aside from the vice president. Without her, no one is able to hold the internal events within the academy. She oversees everything within the academy. Lovelia Illua!”
Nathan furrowed his eyebrows. While they were amazing on their own, no one made a bigger impact than the last person.
After all, that person was actually carrying a sword, almost as tall as she was. No one could actually ignore that huge sword, including Nathan.
“That last person…”
“Ugh… Yeah.”
“I don’t really want to get into trouble with her. I’ve heard that she has personally ensured the security of the academy with her sword. It could be said that while her influence might not be as good as the others, she is currently the strongest summoner in this academy.”
“Yeah. She comes from the family that produces knights for generations. Not only her summoning ability, it’s said that she is already a sword master.”
“Right? I have heard people say the sword saint is able to cut a mountain with a single swing of his blade. She might achieve a similar level to the sword saint in the future.”
“Indeed. If you fight Noelle Flamante, you basically forfeit your life.”
“…”
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy. But their comments piqued Nathan’s interest. It turned out she was the third year that had also figured out the hidden assignment.
Flora smiled at them while saying, “Vice principal Vivian has asked us to help with this year’s battle royale. And no one really rejects the request of the vice principal.
“However, everyone doesn’t need to fear and keep trying your best. We will be locking most of our power, so you still have the chance to succeed. Whether you have to outsmart us or overpower us, please do so if it can make you reach the goal.
“Also, if you don’t know about this, I’ll be sitting out and watching you from here together with the vice principal and teacher Jason. As you know, killing is allowed, since you won’t truly die if you end up dying in this battle royale.
“Please show me your abilities. I do want to see the potential of this year’s students to see if any of you can actually become a student council member. I hope I can find several potential members from among you.”
“!!!” Flora lit up the fire in their hearts. She confirmed that performing well in this competition would give them a higher chance to be recruited to the student council.
The student council was the most prestigious position they could get in this academy if they wanted to succeed in life. Those who were formerly members of the student council had achieved high positions all around the world, so of course, they would be tempted with such an opportunity.
Vivian stepped forward and stated, “In that case, let us begin the competition! You two, please proceed!”
Suddenly, two figures appeared behind Vivian. The first one came out with a huge tree. In fact, her body was attached to the trees, with vines covering her body. She had no clothes other than the leaves that barely covered her well-endowed figure.
Still, they could feel a boundless Ena leaking out of her body, creating a type of pressure they couldn’t describe that somehow made people unable to think of anyone else aside from her.
On the other side, there was a humanoid figure with similar features to an elf, but the pointy ears were short. Unlike the allure of the first familiar, she gave an ethereal vibe that made people want to worship her.
Both of them made a hand signal as they both chanted at the same time.
“O’ Eternal Tree, I call upon thee to bestow thy power, to grant thy strength and wisdom for the pitiful earth.”
“Vyees Teres Mieon, Daviest Tess Bion!”
They clasped their hands at the same time as a huge magic circle appeared, shining brightly like a pillar and engulfing all the people inside the hall.
“Come forth, Garden of the Beginning.”
“Eternal Dream World.”
