The classroom door would open from time to time, with students entering the classroom in light-hearted steps, filling the classroom with the sound of relaxed chit-chat.
Some pretended to read, while listening to conversations from the back row.
"I turned them down, I don’t think we’re fit for them."
Lanci, sitting in the back row, answered with a nod.
"..."
Hyperion was temporarily silent.
These days Lanci had been in and out of the most conspicuous dormitory on the first floor often, so the students passing by quickly noticed his dormitory number, turning it into well-known information.
Hyperion had heard him mention before that he lived in dormitory 101.
She had heard that whenever Lanci asked visitors about their opinions of his companion, Hyperion, the visitors had all shown somewhat reluctant expressions.
Although there were some who readily accepted, they expressed that if Lanci was willing to join, they could also accept Hyperion.
Lanci directly refused.
This was what Princess Vivian told her when she ran into Hyperion.
Ever since Lanci said those strange things last time, their relationship had become somewhat harmonious in addition to the awkwardness.
Even though it might be impossible to get back to the days when they were close friends, Vivian had started to give in to Hyperion, and Hyperion was no longer so suspicious of everyone.
"You really didn’t have to do this...."
Hyperion looked at him and said.
This Shadow World challenge directly upgraded them from Iron-level Challengers to Copper-level Challengers, and they were very close to the Silver Level.
Because the South Continent Shadow World Management Association had difficulty calculating this somewhat outrageous strategy, they eventually awarded Lanci and Hyperion with advancement points for this Fourth-Order Shadow World based on the highest rating standard of 95% contribution. In addition, because they defeated two cultists, they could also collect an additional bounty of 650 pounds in Southern Continent Kingdom currency when they went to the association to complete the promotion process.
The benefits of this Shadow World were not limited to this.
According to the academy’s rules, if students join a team, then participating in the Shadow World challenge would also result in team score rewards.
The team score directly determined the resources allocated to the team by the school, such as team funds and team-exclusive building facilities, and the team could also apply to the school for team activity holidays. At the same time, there would be credit rewards for high-difficulty academy tasks accepted by the team.
This 95% contribution score from the Fourth-Order Shadow World was quite high, almost equivalent to an entire team’s score.
For teams that are hoping to recruit new members, new students like Lanci who come with high "unallocated points" and are also "dad-like" have undeniably become the most desirable target.
"If they don’t respect my companions, then I won’t consider joining their team, there’s no need to make them uncomfortable and you compromised during the process of getting along in the future."
Lanci said, spreading his hands.
If he were to join a team, what he cared about the most is a harmonious atmosphere of getting along with each other in the team. If they can’t even do the most basic respect for their companions, there is no need for him and Hyperion to suffer.
"Lanci, thank you."
What Hyperion felt most from Lanci was respect.
This simple sincerity is truly precious.
"But if we can’t find a team, we may have to establish a team, otherwise, we won’t be able to get the high-difficulty worldly tasks from the school and alsoh lose out on some activities, benefits, and holidays that we could have gotten."
Lanci looked at Hyperion’s expression and understood.
It seemed Hyperion was still unpopular.
Except for the ill-willed guy, Earl Modan Gasigus.
If possible, Lanci actually didn’t want to establish a team, he and Hyperion should focus their spare time on creating a business, not developing a team.
"Ok."
Hyperion nodded her head.
She knew that what Lanci mainly wanted was the team’s holiday for legitimate skipping of classes and the practical credit for worldly tasks.
His goal is really to skip a class if he could, but he would never decide to skip classes out of laziness.
Just as the two of them were discussing, a woman’s voice came from the corridor nearby.
"If you can’t find a suitable team, you guys can join the Student Management Committee."
This arrogant and beautiful familiar voice.
Lanci had a strong impression of it.
Both Lanci and Hyperion on the seat turned their heads to the side simultaneously, and sure enough, they saw Princess Vivian standing with her hands crossed. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
She originally belonged to the class next door, but it seemed that she was looking for Hyperion.
"What’s that?"
Lanci asked in confusion.
"Since there are various teams in our academy, there also needs to be a student organization that manages these teams."
Vivian sat down on a chair on the side of the hallway, and started explaining.
Visits between classrooms during the school breaks were very common in this school.
There are frequently unfamiliar students coming to their class to audit.
"It’s often a hard job of coordinating various teams and resolving conflicts and disputes, but the committee enjoys similar benefits to regular teams, and even better."
"Of course, most importantly, the president is a just and unswayed person. No one can abuse their power or discriminate against others in the committee. Additionally, no matter if you are a human or from the Demon Race, as long as you have talent, he will appreciate you."
Vivian seems to approve the president herself, which is why she recommended this to Lanci.
But the Student Management Committee handles conflicts and various campus disputes that may occur between teams of all sizes, if not careful, it might lead to being bedridden for a month or two, so very few newcomers are willing to join the committee.
Vivian was also a bit worried that she might have introduced it incorrectly, after all, Lanci didn’t seem like the type of person who liked to fight.
But.
What she didn’t expect was..
Lanci’s eyes lit up immediately, as if he had discovered a new continent!
"How is this a hard job? I’m the best at resolving conflicts and disputes!"
Lanci was laughing proudly, and it even seemed that he wanted to prove his skills to them.
"Maintaining good operation of the campus, getting along harmoniously with classmates, it’s our responsibility to do so. Hyperion, let’s go check it out after class!"
"..."
Seeing Lanci’s words and deeds, Vivian gradually felt a sense of foreboding…
She had seen Lanci’s performance in the Shadow World of Demon Academy.
Whenever this guy smiles brightly, the severity of the problem is hard to describe.
Vivian quickly got up and left, feeling that she seemed to have caused a big problem.
Originally, she just wanted to introduce a place for Hyperion where she could experience normal campus life, but she might have directly changed the world line of Ichrite Academy.
If Lanci really joined the Student Management Committee, the president would have another strong member on his team.
Lanci resolving conflicts and disputes.
He might not be able to make everyone happy.
But he can definitely easily upset everyone!
