Episode 272 A friend with a lot of money (3)
The principal’s office outside the academy.
Professor Morgue Banshee was taken aback when he entered the dimly lit room.
A pair of eyes glowing yellow in the dark stared at him.
“……Did you call. Principal?”
Professor Banshee opened his mouth with a confused expression.
Then, in the darkness, a face appeared.
A middle-aged middle-aged man with a stern look. It was a long-haired man with a young smile on his lips.
Winston Smith. He is the principal of the Colosseo Academy here.
Principal Winston said to Professor Banshee.
“I heard that you dealt with various accidents well during this college league.”
“……No. There were many things that were lacking.”
“Not at all. You’ve done a wonderful job for me as principal. I don’t know how to thank you.”
At Principal Winston’s words, Professor Banshee cleared his throat and looked away.
“You returned to school after a long time. Did you achieve what you wanted so far?”
At Banshee’s question, Winston nodded with a faint smile.
“During the training, mana surge came and I had a hard time once. But I overcame it safely.”
“……That’s very fortunate.”
The banshee glanced away at a knife lying beside Winston’s hand.
Winter’s Sword ‘Orwell’ Winston’s favorite bottle that looks like the horn of a unicorn. It is a legendary sword that allows its handle only to those who have risen to the highest level.
Winston had slipped out of the scabbard, probably in the middle of mending his sword.
So, the lower part of the blade with white light, the middle part with black light, and the upper part with red light were visible.
at that time.
“……?”
Banshee noticed a strange thing.
A huge wound remained on the blade of Orwell, the world famous sword that is said to leave no scratches even if a thousand knives are broken.
It looked like the mark of an arrow or the mark of a snake crawling.
‘What on earth happened to cause that famous sword to be damaged?’
Winston spoke softly to him as the banshee stared curiously at the knife.
“Didn’t Professor Saadi get into trouble while I was away on my sabbatical?”
“…I can’t put it all into words. That’s why I made a report like this.”
Banshee reached out and laid a mountain of countless papers on the table.
thud!
The amount of reports piled up like a mountain on the table.
Winston broke into a cold sweat with a puzzled laugh.
“…Ha ha ha. This must have been difficult for Vice Principal Morgue.”
“Sadi is not fit for a professorship. To be honest, she is a criminal who should be locked away in the ‘Newvag Prison’, not in the school.”
“Don’t be like that. Aren’t you the last descendant of the Marquis de Sade, who had such a high reputation before the unification of the Empire?”
“The former Marquis of Sade, the head of the Sade family, is also imprisoned in New Wave.”
“…”
Winston sighed lightly.
Why don’t you know that? The current situation of Professor Sadie, who only makes accidents here and there.
“Still, it’s best to keep them inside the academy. We can’t send them back to the imperial family, and we can’t let the descendants of high-ranking nobles suffer.”
“Soon there will be final exams and parent observation classes. In particular, the final ranking match of the final exams will be a large-scale event where all parents will directly observe, and if Professor Sadi causes trouble there again like he did during the midterm exams, it will really get out of hand. .”
“If possible, avoid practical work and go for it.”
“…if the principal thinks so.”
Banshee nodded.
Well, the important thing now wasn’t Professor Saadi.
Colloreso’s principal, Winston, has returned from a short sabbatical.
A legendary swordsman who is said to have power comparable to that of the head family of Mado.
For Banshee, who is aiming for the next headmaster’s seat, it’s a very awkward static.
Moreover, since he is from the Cold Weapons Donation, he is in many ways at odds with Banshee, who is from the Heat Weapons Donation.
Now, with the biggest event of the year ahead: final exams and parent visit classes.
The structure of the political fight between the principal faction and the sympathetic faction was once again twisted in a dizzying way.

Colosseo Academy’s newspaper club ‘Ryukion’.
Currently, Ryukion’s club room is very busy.
A mana rotary machine running without rest. Newspapers are quickly piled up and distributed.
[Breaking News] Colosseo Academy’s principal ‘Winston Smith’ returns!
-Winston Smith, the principal of Colosseo Academy, who suddenly declared a sabbatical and was away, returned to school last night.
There are many theories as to why he, who had served as the principal for a long time as the spiritual supporter of the Colosseo Cold Weapons Donation, suddenly declared a sabbatical and was close to disappearing, but the most likely one is that he returned to his hometown for recuperation due to runaway mana… Meanwhile ,
Principal Winston, who has returned, looks much more intimidating than before the sabbatical year… Judging by this, it is assumed that he has overcome the mana runaway and has risen to a higher level… “Did you hear
? The principal has returned!”
“Oh, that’s great! I like Professor Winston because he’s gentle.”
“Vice Principal Banshee was really nasty when he went to collect payments and was so picky and cold.”
“The sun will come to our cold bottle donations now! Professor Banshee favored only those who donated hot bottles.”
“From the point of view of the fever donation, I wasn’t very happy with the favoritism.”
“It must have come back in a hurry this time for final exams and parent visit events.”
While printing out the evening newspaper to be distributed in the evening, the students of the newspaper department chattered about this morning’s issues.
Meanwhile.
In the midst of that hectic busyness, there was one person who was particularly busy.
Dolores. The student council president and the head of the newspaper club. And the top of this college league.
As student council president, she had to plan an event to celebrate the principal’s return, and as head of the newspaper club, she had to report on it.
In addition, since the principal wanted to congratulate the university league winner himself, he had to prepare a speech of victory to be announced at the awards ceremony and a speech of encouragement for juniors who would participate in the college league after him.
Even various plaques given to the top students in the 3rd year of the midterm exam, and even the ceremony of awarding medals
…
Thus, she was doing all these tasks through an all-nighter’s work.
But despite the hard work, Dolores’ eyes were shining with life.
It was because there was one transcendent goal that transcended all these miscellaneous tasks.
‘I’ll get rid of the bourgeoisie’s demons, and the bourgeoisie and Quo Vadis will restore both families to normal.’
A dream I’ve had for so long.
Now is the time to make it a reality.
When Dolores finished her work, she found an empty classroom and went inside.
She was looking at yesterday’s contest flyer.
‘……It’s a mock investment competition hosted by the bourgeoisie.’
Last night the Night Hound had given orders to Dolores.
‘From now on, by making money, the bourgeoisie will attract the attention of the people.’
The Night Hound has given a considerable amount of seed money.
It was a plan to roll this and make a lot of money so that the bourgeois would approach the personnel.
‘In the end, you didn’t tell me how to call the money…’
But the hound of the night asked Dolores one thing.
It was to ask for only two talented people to serve as clerical, administrative, or other secretaries.
Dolores happened to set up a temporary club under the pretext of a mock investment competition hosted by a bourgeois family.
< Mock Investment Club - 'Oracle' >
On the surface, it is a club created to participate in a competition hosted by the bourgeoisie.
However, all the funds rolled in conspiracy are real money, and in the end, it will become a sharp knife and cut the neck of the devil hiding in the bourgeoisie.
When Dolores is thinking this or that in her mind.
Knock knock-
The door to the empty classroom opened and two students entered.
After a difficult written test and interview, two applicants were selected after defeating numerous competitors.
It was Piggy and Sinclair.
“Are you here?”
Dolores got up from her seat.
Piggy, who showed outstanding information collection and analysis skills despite being a freshman, and Sinclair, who performed almost perfectly the duties of an administrative secretary.
“Chief! As you said, we’ve gathered all the information on the celebrities of the Bourgeois family and their latest status!”
“I have thoroughly analyzed the schedule and structure of the mock investment competition.”
After hearing their answers, Dolores felt reassured and smiled proudly.
The information and business capabilities required by the Hound of the Night were thus equipped.
Dolores did her best to make ‘Oracle’ look like a mock investment group made up of top students from the Colosseo Academy.
‘Never should these children be involved in such a way.’
Soon the fight against the devil begins.
Dolores had even planned to get Piggy and Sinclair out before then.
at that time. Sinclair asked.
“But, Chairman. Why do you need seed money when it’s a simulated investment?”
“Actually, that’s a simulated investment, we’re going to actually invest.”
“yes?”
Sinclair’s eyes widened at this bold idea.
So was Piggy.
Dolores spoke again.
“It’s literally. We will win the mock investment competition and at the same time make a big profit by managing real money. Of course, I will bear the full cost of the damage that may occur.”
“Do you have any reason for doing that?”
“First, because it’s certain. Second, it’s to make a strong impression.”
Sinclair and Piggy face each other with Dolores’ confidence.
Even with Dolores, the student council president, saying this, there was no reason not to do it.
The seed money will be Dolores’ personal expenses anyway, and even if it is lost, Dolores is responsible for it.
Besides, isn’t she a genius who stands out in all fields?
“Can’t you believe the president said this much! I’ll add some seed money too!”
“Me too! I’m participating in the tournament with the intention of winning in the first place, so I’ll show you my determination! I’ll give you all the part-time jobs I’ve collected!”
Anyway, Piggy and Sinclair also decided that it would be difficult to achieve good results in the competition alone.
Since I was on the strong ship of Dolores, I really wanted to fight with all my might.
“……you.”
Dolores looked at Piggy and Sinclair, impressed.
at that time.
said Sinclair, looking back at Piggy as if he had just remembered.
It makes Dolores’ eyes widen.
“…Oh! Shall I ask my brother to join me? It will definitely be of great help!”
It was a very troubling word.
