The Academy’s Genius Magic Swordsman chapter 53

Delfina’s long election for student council president was also nearing its end.

Since Prince Antonio didn’t make any noticeable movements, it wasn’t too difficult for Delfina’s approval rating to rise.

Third place Ryan Sepia, who could be called the only remaining variable, silently resigned instead of wasting resources with further election campaigns.

Usually, if the approval rating was around 3rd place, it was normal to express support for someone and get even one seat and then withdraw.

Unfortunately, because it was Ryan Sepia who had conflicts with both the first and second place, he resigned without saying anything and left without much impact on the election.

And most of the other candidates below 4th place either resigned or stopped campaigning and only put their names up.

Naturally, according to the results of the poll, Delfina’s final opponent was Prince Antonio.

It is true that Delfina brought most of the resigned Ryan Sephia’s approval rating, so she somehow managed to get to the point where she could compete with Prince Antonio.

It wasn’t that the approval ratings didn’t rise even if the prince’s side didn’t move, so Prince Antonio’s side was still slightly ahead of Delfina.

Even so, it was a difference of about 3-4%, and it was a vote difference that was not unlikely to be overturned in the main election.

I wasn’t a complacent person to the extent of placing my last hopes on such a slim possibility.

“In the end, I have no choice but to use my last resort.”

If possible, he hoped to skip this method, but it must have been a necessary means to confirm Delfina’s victory.

Above all, it would be very regrettable if Delfina ended up seeing that she couldn’t become the student council president even though she made the approval rating up to this point.

At least if you don’t use all the means you can, you’ll definitely have lingering feelings.

After thinking like that, I quietly moved to the theology department dormitory.

To borrow the power of one last person to make Delfina the student council president.

* * *

From the day of the student council president election, three days ago.

At the site of Delfina’s campaigns, which are always held in the same place, there seemed to be a group of students who seemed to be twice as big as usual.

The reason must, of course, be because I came to see Delphina’s campaign.

To be precise, they didn’t come to see Delphina, but to see today’s special guest.

Delfina, who had spread rumors about the guest of the day, trembled as soon as she faced the reality.

“What, what, what? How could my brother be friends with Saint Clare? Why did St. Claire, who refused to go to dinner with Prince Antonio, only listen to her brother and join my election campaign?”

“You were very nervous. Seeing that you can’t even maintain your usual tone.”

“… It’s an amazing situation that is hard to believe even if you see it with your own two eyes. I stopped being excited and showed an embarrassing appearance, brother.”

Delphina, seeing Saint Clare who actually appeared with me, calmed down by holding on to her trembling heart.

“You seem to have a good relationship with your younger sister, hehehehe”

“Yes, first of all, it is a family relationship.”

“I’ve heard that there are times when aristocrats have a bad relationship between siblings because of the issue of the successor, but it doesn’t seem like that between Mr. Conrad and Miss Delphina.”

“Yeah. My family’s successor has already been decided as Delphina, so there’s no reason for me to fall out with Delphina.”

“Wait a minute, brother. I’m in charge of Perdalos’s successor, is this a story I’ve never heard of?”

Embarrassed, Delphina asked me a question, but with the appearance of Johnny Winte, I couldn’t tell her the answer.

“Lady Delphina, Lady Claire. You should be on stage soon.”

“… I know.”

The younger sister looked as if she had more to say, but as it was time for the election speech, she had no choice but to appear on stage.

Seeing Delphina’s body spinning, Saint Claire came closer to me and whispered.

“Promise, keep it.”

“Of course, saintess.”

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly when I saw Saint Clare’s back as she went up with Delphina with a satisfied smile.

Because of this request, I thought that it would be my role to eventually fill the vacancy of Willia for a while.

* * *

St. Claire’s remarks of support for Delphina caused a warm response.

In terms of the character’s topicality alone, he was a person who could easily surpass Prince Antonio, so the reaction that came back was bound to be enthusiastic.

Of course, it was a cheering speech that barely appeared at the end of the election, so the influence on the election itself was not so great.

At least to the students of a certain department, the contents of the speech must have been much more profound.

To the students of the Faculty of Theology, a department that includes St. Clare.

Reflecting on what truth the Orthodox Church was founded on, a student in the theology department would of course have no choice but to listen to St. Claire’s speech.

The opinion of the saintess is the opinion of the theology department.

no one rebels against her Because she is the representative of the Living God.

with this one speech. It succeeded in moving almost all of the approval ratings of the theology department, which would have been close to neutral, to Delphina.

Perhaps Delfina’s victory in the student council president election would be confirmed as it is.

Of course, if Prince Antonio investigates a little more properly, he will be able to uncover the fact that Delphina and Saint Clare had no relationship before.

If we dig a little deeper, we’ll even find out that Saint Clare didn’t fully understand the contents of Delphina’s promise and simply gave a cheering speech at my request.

Of course, that’s only if you have enough time.

That is why the timing of the announcement was intentionally delayed as much as possible. Even if you try to respond now, you won’t even be given time to respond.

There was also a point that it was a method I didn’t want to use until the end, but even from the point of view of the timing, it was best to burst out with my remarks at the point of three days ago.

Three days would be enough in this small academy for the fact that St. Claire was standing in support of a particular candidate to spread.

In fact, it would take a lot more time to cover up the fact that she was inspired by her promise and gave the speech for reasons other than supporting Delphina.

It was a flow of public opinion that could not be stopped even if he knew it, and even the prince could not stop the strong stream of water that started to flow once it started flowing.

And now the result was unfolding before my eyes.

Results of the 312th Student Council President Election

Election – Delfina Perdalos 44.9%

2nd – Antonio Alexandros 43.5%

The name of Delfina Perdalos posted at the top of the bulletin board in the student union building made my heart race for the first time in a while.

Although it can’t be denied that it was a close victory that wasn’t overwhelming, the important thing was the fact that Delphina won itself.

As a freshman who has just entered the academy, her aristocratic status is only that of a Viscountess.

Even winning the victory against the 5th Prince Antonio Alexandros, the student council president last year, was truly a living, breathing miracle.

The students who supported Delfina let out cheers of joy, and the students who supported Prince Antonio seemed to have accepted defeat as if they couldn’t help it.

The long fight with Prince Antonio was finally coming to an end.

* * *

Conrad wasn’t the only one who was relieved that the long fight was finally over.

“Congratulations on winning, Lady Delphina!”

“Congratulations on winning, Miss Delphina.”

Election camp in Delfina Perdalos.

There, Delphina could barely breathe a sigh of relief as she received congratulations from the other camp members.

Starting with Johnny and Hilla’s congratulations, the members of the camp continued to applaud, and Delfina smiled a bit embarrassed.

“Thank you, everyone. You all worked hard too.”

To run for the Alexandros Academy student body president election and win against Prince Antonio.

When I heard that from my older brother just a month ago, there was a time when I waved my hand and tried to refuse, saying it was impossible.

And now, a month later, the reality unfolding in front of Delfina was a happy future that was completely different from what was expected then.

It would have been a lie if I hadn’t had even the slightest expectations.

However, rising to the position of student council president did not come about because he wished for it.

The person who told me without hesitation that it was possible and finally made it a reality that could be caught in my hands.

Also, I couldn’t help but think of her older brother who made the biggest contribution in this election.

‘I have more graces to repay to my brother.’

I was already feeling grateful for the fact that he handed over a considerable amount of support money to cover my school fees last summer.

In this student council president election, he received immeasurable help from his older brother, so that feeling had no choice but to grow without a subject.

All he did was sincerely accept the election without breaking away from the game his brother had made for him.

More than 80% of the achievements were made by Conrad and his colleagues, so Delfina silently thanked her brother and the others.

Of course, his feelings for his older brother did not stop at being simply grateful.

‘I can’t believe you even knew Saint Clare as an acquaintance, what kind of life is your brother living at the academy?’

Delfina was confident that she was not lagging behind in information gathering, but she felt unfamiliar with the strange connections she had gathered around her brother.

Senior Ruru from the Engineering Department, even if he could, he not only had an acquaintance with an elf who barely escaped from the forest of the World Tree.

From the daughter of Count Arwen, who has produced countless knights of high repute over the years, to the first saint born in 300 years.

In Delfina’s head, happy and complicated emotions coexisted at the fact that people who seemed to have no contact at all were gathered around her brother.

‘Besides, you even said that you would hand over the succession of Perdalos to me, what the hell are you thinking… .’

At this point, the statement that she would entrust the succession of the family to herself was a statement that was difficult for Delphina to understand.

Fundamentally, since the principle of succession to the eldest son in a decent number of aristocratic families was, of course, Conrad Perdalos was the right choice for the succession of the Perdalos family.

Sometimes, due to lack of ability, there was an example of passing the right of inheritance to the second-ranked brother, but of course, it was also a story that did not apply to her brother at all.

Even though he is still in his third year at the academy, he not only possesses the power of a 4th circle wizard, but also maintains a good relationship with the residents of the territory since childhood.

He even had nonsensical figures he could not imagine as his personal connections.

It was absurd to say that an older brother with such ability would give up inheritance rights.

Delphina’s worries deepened, but at this point she couldn’t grasp Conrad’s intentions.

So the next time I had a chance, I only thought of asking about this story in detail.

Because it was not enough time to be happy to waste time with unresolved concerns.

“Now, when the student council starts, it will be even busier.

I plan to carry out all of the promises made in this election, so you should all suffer with me for the next year.”

“Is there anything, Miss Delphina?”

“It’s an opportunity I’ve been hoping for, Ms. Delphina.”

“I wish you well in the future too!”

“Me too!”

Although it’s unfortunate that I couldn’t build a relationship with Prince Antonio, who was in conflict with me in the election.

It was a sufficient harvest just to get the title of the next student president and valuable people who followed him.

From two days later, he will be busy watching the student council’s internal affairs, so the atmosphere is ripe with a toast with the next cabinet of the student council.

The atmosphere was briefly lulled by Johnny Winte, who had been through the gates of the election camp for a while.

“Lady Delphina, it looks like you have a guest.”

“Is it time?”

“Yeah. I think Lady Delphina will have to talk to her directly. It’s too big for me.”

As the dinner party lengthened, it was already past ten o’clock at night.

It doesn’t matter, since he was scheduled to celebrate his election victory with the student council executives until tomorrow morning, but it was quite unfamiliar to visit at this time when all the doors to the dormitory were already closed.

Besides, even Johnny, the next president of the Wintemire Company, is a big man that is difficult to deal with.

Delphina went out the door, wondering if Saint Claire had visited her again, and eventually met two academy seniors in front of the door.

Prince Vincent Seitaridis, the eldest son of the Seitaridis family who oppressed him at the gate.

And the strongest competitor in this student council president election, the 5th Prince Antonio Alexandros.
