Chapter 266 He is here.
"That fucker…"
Vaan cursed.
"Langauge."
However, the woman sitting in front of him was quick to point it out.
"What? My God doesn't stop me from cursing." Vaan complained.
Selene shook her head,
"My God doesn't stop me from it either, however, cursing, in general, is considered a bad act because it creates too many negative emotions inside the person cursing and the one being cursed at the same time. It not only has a negative effect on communication, it is also degrading and disrespectful. Not to mention it also has a negative effect on children, who often copy adults or their role models when they form their personalities."
Selene replied with her usual, gentle smile on her face and Vaan could already feel a headache coming.
Now he didn't exactly hate this woman. On the contrary, with how much she has been helping them without asking anything in return, he, at the very least, was now looking at her in a positive light.
Of course, he still wouldn't be surprised if he someday realized that she was doing all this in order to get something out of him and her kind and helpful act was nothing more than a fake front, however, for now, he had decided to trust her.
Not that he had any other option.
That bastard had already made his move, just looking at the Pole in the SIC and how more and more people who were now against him were rising at a scary pace right after that bastard publicly gave his opinion, he had no other option but to go to the only person who held more influence in the Academy than the annoying Swordsman.
Honestly, if it wasn't for Elara stopping him, he would have already left the Academy for the good.
As for the consequences? To hell with that!
They will be announcing the return of the God of Magic, the God that once held power that was equal, if not stronger compared to the God of Light.
No one would give a ratass if he left a children's Academy.
Elara however, had a different opinion.
The two of them had no need to rush things.
As much as important all the information they currently have with them seemed, after thinking about it, nothing was urgent enough for Vaan to leave the Academy.
Even if they had no choice but to wait for the Semester to end, they wouldn't lose anything.
Yes, the Spirits were the incarnation of the God of Magic, shocking.
But now what?
The Spirits still do not know how to bless their believers, they still didn't know how to generate Faith Energy that the Spirits could use to Bless their believers, right now, even if they met her Teacher and revealed everything to her, they still wouldn't be able to put the information to good use.
Sure, she might be able to hasten the process of finding a way to generate Faith Energy, but there was no guarantee that it would happen.
Not to mention that even leaving things as they are right now, nothing major would happen. Right now, there was no urgency pushing them to be in a rush, rather, taking rash decisions like leaving the Academy would only be considered foolish and unrequired.
Vaan, who heard Elara's reasoning realized that the woman was right.
And how could she not be? It was Elara they were talking about. A Magical Genius with a bright brain. Of course, the woman will be right. Elara was always right. She was the best.
Vaan nodded as he decided to take things easy.
Of course, he still didn't like how Declan was messing with his plans. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to teach that brat a lesson.
But before that, he needed the help of this girl sitting in front of him.
"Alright Alright, I get it, curses, bad.
You don't need to give a whole ass speech for it."
Vaan snorted, however, seeing Selene looking at him with a simple smile without saying anything, he quickly realized that he had made another mistake, though he had no idea what it was.
Elara on the other hand, was quick to catch it and simply tapped on Vaan's with hers.
Selene, however, noticed that and simply chuckled. Then, shaking her head as if giving up on the lost cause, she glanced at Vaan and,
"Why do you want to leave the Academy anyway? Different Tournaments are about to start, shouldn't you be preparing for them instead?"
Selene questioned as she played with Furr, who got close to the blonde the instant they met.
"We have a personal reason," Vaan replied. Discover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n no𝒗elbi𝒏(.)com
Selene had a wry smile on her face,
"You want my help but won't tell me why you want it. You are making things difficult for me, Vaan."
Selene spoke and both Vaan and Elara smiled wryly. They knew what sort of position they were putting Selene in.
If she agreed to support them for no apparent reason, more and more students would start making unreasonable requests and would come to her for favors.
And as someone who doesn't back away from helping people, it would be extremely difficult for Selene to turn those people down.
Vaan and Elara could see the problem, in this case, however, there was nothing they could do. They didn't wish to lie to the woman who had been nothing but helpful ever since they met even though they doubted her from the very beginning, neither could they tell her the truth since, well… this could lead to something much bigger if things go south and Selene turns out to be someone they shouldn't have trusted.
Heck, even Seraphina wasn't informed about this, let alone someone they met just a few weeks ago.
"President Selene, we would be really grateful if you help us this time…"
Evane spoke as she glanced at Selene with a slight frown. The shine in her eyes made her look pitiful, and seeing that look on her face, before Selene could react,
"Aauu…"
Furr moved.
The little guy turned towards Selene and,
"Auuu…"
After calling her out, he started licking her fingers. It was as if the little guy was requesting Selene together with his mother.
And this time, Selene had no way to resist.
The Evane and Furr combination was simply too much, Selene knew only a heartless monster with no emotions could ever reject them.
And she, unfortunately, was someone who already had an agreeable personality to begin with.
In the end, Selene sighed,
"Alright, I will help you out."
"Thank you, Selene, really." Vaan expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Selene simply nodded with a smile and then turned towards Evane who was looking at her with a bright smile on her face.
"Aaauu!"
Little Furr seemed to have understood that Selene fulfilled his mother's request so he howled excitedly before he started rubbing Selene's hand with his soft fur.
Selene's smile widened, enjoying the attention she was receiving.
Then, however, a grim look appeared on her face, and,
"But I don't think my help would do you any good. You don't seem to have a good relationship with Swords Division's Declan Dawncrest, that student holds quite a lot of influence in the Academy and since he seems to be against you, I highly doubt you would get more than 90% of students to vote for you even if I help you out."
Selene spoke and Vaan, who already knew this, nodded and then,
"I know, and don't worry,
I have already come up with a countermeasure for that."
His eyes shone with a determined look as he said those words.
…
On the other side in the Dawncrest House, inside Declan's room, the Swordsman was currently sitting on his chair, polishing his Sword with a gleeful look on his face.
*Knock* *Knock*
The calm atmosphere, however, was ruined when a knock was heard.
"Enter."
Knowing who it was because only a few would dare to knock on his doors, Declan allowed the person to walk in.
His secretary walked in with an SIC and some papers in her hands and,
"It went exactly like you predicted, the Council President released a Statement in favor of Vaan. This is the statement."
She spoke as she passed a paper to Declan. The Swordsman grabbed the paper and started reading.
'Both Vaan and Elara are students who have displayed excellent results in the Academy. They are students who have impressed and surprised the entire Academy because of their talents. Not only are they talented, but they are also hard workers who continuously put in the effort to improve themselves.
They are good examples of model students and if such students require our help to deal with their personal matters, I believe we should extend our helping hand.
After all, as someone who has interacted with the two of them quite a few times, I know they wouldn't have opted for this if it was something manageable.
I only hope that everyone reading this also tries to help their fellow students and prevent something bad from happening.'
"More and more students have started voting in his favor the moment the statement was released, some students who had voted against it were also influenced and changed their votes."
The secretory reported.
"The Student Council is clearly on his side."
Hearing those words, however, Declan snorted,
"On his side my foot.
That bitch is simply on the side that is against me, that guy just turned out to be a convenient tool."
*Knock* *Knock*
As he said those words, Declan heard another knock, frowning, he turned towards the door and,
"What is it?" he questioned.
"Sir Declan…
It is that Vaan…
He is outside the Dawncrest House and wishes to see you."
