Chapter 1003 – #241_The Founding Ceremony of the Society (4)

#997

One.
Sharon, Alice, Periwinkle, Sophia, Amelia, Leruhe, Eloah.

The number of people Siwoo put forward as the head of the school first was 7 people in total.

Although this is not yet a complete lineup and it has been announced that it will go through the acquisition process to open a new department, strictly speaking it is not a sufficient number.

Of the magical horizons that have developed over a thousand years, the field that those seven can handle is less than 1%.

Even so, the hall became a crucible of quiet enthusiasm.

“Really? Is it really run with that number of people?”
“The school fees must be filthy expensive.”
“How much is the tuition fee? Look at the lineup.”

Magnetic magic is magic written in semi-independent code.

In order for a high-ranking witch to seriously add to the magnetism magic of a lower-ranking witch, it is necessary to understand the ‘code’ separately for at least one year.
Siu was also excluded because it was too unrealistic up to that point.

However, it is a little different if it is a common magic with magnetic magic as its root.
If magnetism magic is the ‘thorn’ of the sea urchin model, from here on, the part corresponding to the ‘sphere’ of the sea urchin.

As the part included in academic journals or conferences is also in this field, it is systematized to some extent and based on common understanding.

It is possible to give and receive instruction.

Even so, to be taught by a witch higher than the Archwitch even with this common magic is picking stars from the sky.

I have no choice but to get to know each other, visit very expensive homes, or cringe while playing the role of Shidabari and assistant.

However, if you enter the society and pay a small fee, you can take such a class to your heart’s content.
Even those sides are talented people who are not sorry to say that they are the best in each field.

To use an analogy, I opened an investment college, and the faculty are Warren Buffett, Philip Fisher, John Telpleton, and so on.
From the witches’ point of view, an academic amusement park has been opened.

After the elected deans go down, Siwoo stands on the podium again.

The noisy atmosphere suddenly becomes quiet.

“In addition to this, I intend to establish partnerships with various academic societies and ask for the position of dean and professor. The current goal is to open at least 12 faculties and to appoint at least two faculty members under each faculty.

Of course, I’m sure you have a lot of questions even at this point. Is this system really sustainable?”

After speaking calmly, he took out the music box from his bosom and held it up.
An artifact that endlessly plays a song of silence.
It’s full of memories, so I still have it, but now it’s broken due to the distortion field of the red branch.

“This is an artifact given to me by the Countess of Zemonai when I was a new witch and went to the present world.”

The presentation of the vision is over.
Now is the time for self-PR.

“At that time, it was difficult for me to overcome even a weak homunculus. So, in order to protect myself, I needed an artifact to hide my presence.”

I lived with my breath in case I was caught in the eyes of a malicious exile or a public enemy, and I couldn’t even go outside the area of ​​location point because I was afraid.

“Now, 10 years have passed since then. I subdued Count Urshira of Hexsenacht. I am standing on this pulpit as the president of the society after putting an end to the tribulation of the present world, which was confused by flooding.”

No witch could have predicted the rumor that a new male witch had been born.
To think that an existence that everyone thought was only a research material would achieve such a feat.

“But I did it. It proved what everyone said was impossible. And. It will be the same this time.”

A statement that at first glance might seem arrogant.
Firm confidence and confidence in yourself.
Clear diction and even a speech technique that gives strength to the part to be emphasized.

Everything I’ve practiced is perfectly presented.

“Once again all of you. Welcome to the Hesed Magic Society.”

Siwoo spread his arms and announced the end of the inaugural ceremony and introduction, which lasted less than 10 minutes.

2.
Skip the welcome speech.
A 10-minute introduction to the founding history and society.

That was the only time allotted to the official schedule.

Considering that other official events lasted at least an hour for one reason or another, it was very short.
This was possible because various roadmaps and detailed agreements were boldly left out.

Even more so, he skipped the introduction of the Tiphareth mansion, which he had prepared with a large sum of money.

However.
The shorter it is, the more intense it is.

Meals, performances, and parties that served as an after-party.

While Gehenna musicians were playing their instruments on the pulpit a moment ago, none of the witches were paying attention to food and music.

Question after question.

“Which conferences will be opened?”
“What kind of society are you planning to join here?”

“I didn’t even tell you how the class was conducted. Is it possible to take classes across two or three faculties at the same time?”
“Seven years is too long. Is there any short-term curriculum?”

“A report and a project? They say that you have to achieve meaningful results to move on to the next course, but if you don’t pass, do you have to sit still?”
“Even though the cost of tuition is important, how many people will listen to it if you present an unrealistic cost.”

“Can our society also form a partnership?”
“What kind of founding ceremony is so unkind?”

The people who were introduced as the dean of the department were not able to ask directly because they left the hall as soon as the founding speech was over.

Of course, not only good words come out.
Because of Dandelion’s revelation article, Shin Si-woo’s evaluation was at the lowest point.

Even if I forgot about it because of the shock for a while, the back story was inevitable.

“In the end, wasn’t there a single word of explanation about the scandal?”
“As the dean of the department, it’s like introducing lovers. Am I the only one who almost laughed at that part?”
“I was struggling to cover my face with a fan.”
“To be a member of a harem society. Are you embarrassed to be able to attend classes properly?”
“Professor! I have questions! When was the first kiss with the president? Curry!”

On the other hand, Shin Si-woo’s transformation, which was quite impressive, was also re-examined.

“Rather than that, hasn’t his mood changed a bit?”
“That’s right. I looked like a child until the last thesis verification… Is it that a seat makes a person?”
“I don’t want to say it because it hurts my pride. He was filthy handsome.”
“Therefore.”

“No, it seems to me that he has been hiding his teeth. Now that everything is ready, I finally revealed my ambition.”
“That sounds like an overexaggeration…”

“However… If your girlfriend is that amazing, wouldn’t that mean you really have your own charm?”
“That’s right, I don’t know if it’s halfway through… Duke Tiphareth is also a lover?”

Although public opinion is still against it, the painstaking charisma project was seeing results.

“Uh? Shin Siwoo over there.”
“Where? And…”
“… Can’t you tease me too?”

At that time, Shin Si-woo, who had been absent for a while, reappeared at the banquet hall.
Instead of the lightly comfortable outfit from before, Shin Si-woo dressed up in a tailcoat for the ball that will decorate the end of the party soon.

His well-dressed appearance, like the Grand Duke of the North, was enough to catch the vigilant witch’s attention.

I used to shake hands and greet people around the world, but all of them were upper-class witches.
Ordinary witches couldn’t approach it easily, and instead, they only got a lot of attention.

“Are you talking to the head librarian?”
“Where? Wow, is it real?”

Shin Si-woo, who was dressed up nicely, was exchanging private conversations with the chief librarian.
The reason why the expression “Mild talk” Was added here is because a sound barrier was operating around the two of them.

“What are you talking about?”
“We’ve been talking for over a minute already.”
“Isn’t that kind of the case because academic societies usually have data sharing contracts with secretaries?”
“He was handsome…”
“Hey, Count Gremory is laughing… ?”

In the meantime, the librarian covered his mouth and smiled.
Shin Si-woo, who has been expressionless all along, also smiles bitterly.

“No, do you even know the chief librarian?”
“I heard that you are also close with Count Yesod.”

With the witches who are confused by the scene that is hard to see.

“If you smile like that in front of me… You can take your life.”
“It’s a good fit… Do you want to dance too?”

Witches who are enchanted by demonic beauty.

After the rough progress of the meal, the musicians changed the score.

Hosts from Rose Glass rush in and tables with food and drinks are cleared.

The curtains were pulled back and the candles on the candlesticks burned brighter.

The ball that decorates the end of the after party begins.

“What is your name? Lady.”
“Shall we dance a song?”
“It would be an honor if you gave me the opportunity to dance with you.”

It was a bit excessive heat, but the light waltz that started to be heard along with the brilliant sunlight loosened the atmosphere in the hall that was like a pressure cooker.

About 20% of the witches who were not particularly interested in dancing, or for personal study or schedules, left the ballroom, but still many guests remained at the ballroom.

It is also the dignity of a witch to have the right conversation and action at the right place and time.
The witch, who has always been talking about Shin Si-woo and the Hesed Society, also checks her clothes, lifts her chin and searches for a partner for her.

“Next time.”
“I want to rest now.”

Rose Glass’s hosts are well-trained dancers in their own right, but alas, they now have an all-too-strong competitor.

“…”

Baron Shin Si-woo, an up-and-coming aristocrat and president of the society, looking around with a relaxed expression as a flower on the wall.

However, unexpectedly, no one requested to dance first.

It was like that from the start of a waltz to the end.

“… What do you want?”
“You do it.”
“I will not. It’s crazy?”

It’s not just because I don’t like to stand out.
Most of the witches who remain until the ball want to stand out above all else.

But he still has unresolved suspicions.

There is a suspicion that she has been playing around with various witches using her beautiful appearance and unique position.
I don’t know if the other side asks for a dance first, but if you approach from this side, there is a possibility that it will lead to another scandal.

Siu also used to put on a poker face, but he felt embarrassed.

If it ends like this, it will be pretty ridiculous.
It’s not a problem that the bone-in practice is useless.

Apart from presenting a new conference and an innovative vision as the president, it proves that he still has not shaken off the aftermath of the scandal.

Public opinion is the current.

The charisma project itself is cracked as soon as the back story, ‘After all, no one asked for a dance with Baron Saekma!’.

Even asking lovers, acquaintances, or recruited deans would not be of any help.

While she was chewing on her nervousness, a woman proudly crossed the middle of the ballroom, which had been in a lull for a while after the dance had ended.

“Shall we dance together for the next song? Gentleman?”
“It is an honour.”

The bride-to-be of Takasho, who had been watching Siu from the distance.
It was Count Adonai.
