Afterword: Noah Darshen (top)
One.
After the second semester midterm exams are over.
After finishing the exam, Noah headed to the student center.
This was because I suddenly received a call from Arsene’s current student council president, Iris Senior.
‘What’s happening all of a sudden?’
I didn’t do anything particularly worthy of being called out.
Since he had not heard the reason for the call, Noah’s mind was filled with questions. After reaching her destination, she knocked on the door of the student council president’s office.
Knock-!
After the small knocking noise stopped.
A familiar voice came from beyond the door.
“Yes, please come in.”
When permission was given, Noah opened the door and went inside. The first sight I saw was a tall girl sitting with her back to the window.
The person who called Noah was Iris Senior.
“Hello, Senior Iris.”
As the student council president of Arsene Academy mentioned earlier, she had a close relationship with Noah.
This is because around this time last year, I supported her election activities with the Ulan group.
“Yes, it’s been a while. Cadet Noah.”
At that time, Iris smiled slightly.
A very different impression from when I first saw her last year. That’s because he had an expressionless face the whole time.
“You can sit this way.”
She swept her light blue hair past her ear and pointed to the chair across from her.
Noah leaned forward and sat down, followed by Iris’ questions.
“Cadet Noah.”
“yes?”
“Do you have any idea why I called you?”
“Ahaha, not at all.”
Noah smiles awkwardly.
Of course, there are no guesses at all.
Perhaps it was because he became acquainted with Iris while helping her with her election activities, but from then on, Noah often helped her with student council activities.
‘But now…’ … .’
I don’t think it was called for student council activities.
If that were the case, Camilla Tanesia, the vice president of the student council in charge of practical affairs, would have been here.
However, the only people currently in the student council president’s office are Iris and Noah. Just as I was finishing my guess, Iris opened her mouth.
“After becoming student council president, I changed some of the existing rules.”
I already know.
The most representative improvement is the change in the qualifications for running for student council president.
Originally, to run for student council president, you had to be of noble birth, but Iris decided that this condition encouraged discrimination and abolished it.
Just then, a story about him came out.
“The most representative of these was allowing anyone to run for student council president, regardless of origin or status.”
“That’s right, I did.”
“That’s why I called you.”
“… … yes?”
Noah asked back a beat later.
It was because I felt that the context of the conversation did not fit. So, just as I was about to ask what it meant, Iris answered first.
This was the fundamental reason why Noah was called.
“How about running as a candidate in the student body president election scheduled for this fall?”
After Iris’ suggestion, Noah had a momentary blank expression. As if trying to understand what was just said.
Some time after that.
Noah’s eyes widened.
“Me, me?!”
“Yes, while we were looking for a candidate to become the new student council president, we decided that Cadet Noah was the most suitable.”
“No, for what reason… … .”
Just as I was about to continue my rebuttal with an absurd expression on my face, a guess suddenly crossed my mind.
This is what Iris mentioned right before proposing to run for student council president. Noah, who remembered this, quickly guessed what her intentions were.
“no way… … .”
“I think I finally realized it.”
A smile appeared on Iris’s lips.
After that, she nodded.
“you’re right. “I hope the next student council president will be a cadet from the common people.”
Iris Senior’s true feelings. He hoped that the rules he changed would be applied.
If the next student council president becomes a noble cadet and he changes the rules again, the work Iris has done over the past year will be meaningless.
“But aren’t there many commoners besides me? Why do you have to say this to me… … .”
When counting all of the cadets who can run for student council president, there are approximately dozens of cadets who are commoners.
Moreover, Noah was not a commoner, but a lower-ranking barbarian. So, just as I was making an expression that I couldn’t understand, Iris’s answer came back.
“you’re right. Besides Cadet Noah, there are many cadets who were commoners. However, realistically, it is very difficult to suggest that they run for office.”
A somewhat heavy sigh came out from her pink lips. Iris spoke as if she was complaining with a confused expression on her face.
“It will be the first stage for a former commoner to run for office. The burden will be great, and above all, the checks from cadets from noble families will be severe.”

I understood what it meant.
It is said that Iris changed the rules to allow cadets from commoner backgrounds to run for student council president, but even so, a wall still exists.
Also, there is a good chance that he will be viewed negatively by cadets from noble families simply because of the factor that he is a candidate from a commoner background.
“But you are different.”
A word that came at that moment broke Noah’s thoughts. Iris said with a faint smile, as if asking when she had last looked frustrated.
“The Noah cadet I have seen over the past year has treated everyone fairly and normally, regardless of origin or status.”
“Well, that’s… … .”
There is a good reason for that.
Because Noah was from another world.
Since I had learned common sense in a world where a strict caste system was not applied like here, I was able to deal with it without any particular concern.
‘I didn’t have time to worry about it in the first place.’
Because last year was the year I faced the abyss.
So, I spent my time at the academy virtually without thinking about anything. However, Iris seemed to appreciate this point.
In other words, it’s a misunderstanding.
“Of course, the decision was not made solely based on this. “The fact that he is always conscientious and faithful to his studies is also the reason why Cadet Noah was chosen as a candidate.”
Unlike last year, Noah has changed.
I did my best when taking classes, and I lived sincerely and diligently in everything I did.
And one more thing.
There is a reason why Noah can run for student council president more easily than other cadets.
“The last reason is power.”
“Power?”
“Yes, even compared to cadets from noble families, he is a force that will never be inferior. “Currently, Cadet Noah has such a force by his side.”
As soon as I heard that, something came to mind.
Ulan and other colleagues. And Noah’s guess was correct.
“From last year to now, big names who are shaking up the Arsene Academy just by their presence. “Just being friends with them will give you a lot of strength.”
Barbarians, commoners, nobles, and even royalty.
The people by Noah’s side are truly a group made up of diverse backgrounds.
Yet, it is a form that is strangely harmonious.
This combination was the ultimate form that Iris desired. That’s why Iris’s eyes sparkled and she grabbed Noah’s hand.
“Based on these points, I recommended Cadet Noah because I thought he would feel much less pressure about running for office than other cadets from commoner backgrounds.”
“… … okay. I understood.”
Noah nodded once.
If I had been myself until last year, I would have rejected it without even thinking about it. You probably thought that meeting people was not only awkward but also a hassle.
‘but… … .’
Now that Noah has decided to stay here rather than return to his original world, he must establish a home for his life in this world.
In that respect, Arsene’s history as student council president will be of great help. It was clear that it would be applied to advantage no matter where the empire or kingdom went.
‘Still, it’s hard to decide right away.’
In the first place, if Noah were to win the student council president election, she alone would not be enough.
Noah, who was seriously considering all the factors, soon sighed. Then he looked back at Iris and smiled awkwardly.
“I don’t think it will be difficult to make a decision right away. Can you think about it and then tell me?”
“of course. “I will wait for a positive response from Cadet Noah.”
Iris said with a wide smile.
After ending the conversation somewhat abruptly, Noah left the student council president’s office.
2.
And that evening.
After finishing the meal, Noah told the group that happened to be gathered in one place about what happened today.
After the explanation of everything was over, a sense of silence came over me. After a while, Delia, who was gathering her thoughts, looked back at her Noah and asked.
“What do you want to do?”
“that’s right. “Isn’t your opinion more important than asking our opinion?”
Ibella also had the same thoughts as Delia.
Noah, faced with the two girls’ questions, thought for a moment and then came up with a serious answer.
“To be honest, I think it’s the right thing to do.”
“Eh? “Isn’t that what you want to do?”
“Yes, since I have decided to stay here and not return to the original world, I need to seriously think about my future.”
In that respect, becoming the student council president is the best opportunity you can seize at the academy. Because it was like having a solid and solid history.
Meanwhile, after hearing the answer, Delia suddenly stretched out her hand. Then he naturally suggested.
“If that’s a problem, come to the principality. Noah, if you are a shaman, you are always welcome.”
“That might not be bad, but there’s no need to go far, and our family isn’t bad either. Of course, we can give you the highest salary.”
Delia and Ibella’s favor was an offer of utmost gratitude to Noah, who had no place to go.
But it’s not very pleasant.
-I’ll suggest it too!
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard from the communication crystal ball placed on the table.
It was Perticia’s voice.
-In the future, when I become emperor, I will give Noah a title and territory. Of course, there is a condition that I must cooperate.
That’s why I don’t like it.
In a situation where we are competing for Ulan, we are receiving help from another competitor. Noah smiled sheepishly and shook his head.
“I really appreciate everyone’s suggestions, but I want to go it alone this time. “I also want to change from my pathetic past.”
This is a kind of challenge for Noah.
This is an opportunity to break away from your original timid and introverted self. That’s why I wanted to fight back by choosing a straight method, not an expedient method.
When I said that about my determination.
Ulan, who had been quietly listening to the conversation until now, suddenly spoke up.
“Then do it. “I will help.”
“yes?”
Noah’s eyes widened slightly.
You haven’t even asked for help yet?
Rather, you just announced that you would stand on your own, and you are saying this? So, when I was confused, Ulan added something.
“We are colleagues. “It’s natural to help.”
Ulan had a stern expression.
Even if you say you don’t need help, it’s as if you will help in any way possible. Then Delia and Ibella, who were watching, also sighed.
“Then, we should also add our strength.”
“If you just watch, you’ll be leaving Noah and Ulan alone.”
That is unacceptable.
As the two girls’ eyes burned like fire, an excited voice was heard from the crystal ball.
-Uhm, it’s a little different from what I expected, but I’ll help too! Because it looks fun!
So that evening.
Noah got everyone’s cooperation.
Much easier than you thought.
