Chapter 107: Invitation from the Student Council
[May 31st, the day midterm results were announced.]
[You achieved excellent results, ranking 11th in the entire grade, but unfortunately, you narrowly missed the top 10.]
[And thus, you were taken to the teachers' office by Scathach...]
Inside the teachers' office.
The atmosphere suddenly grew tense; Eikou was so flustered that he couldn't utter a single word.
"..."
Scathach didn't say anything either, her face completely devoid of expression.
The beautiful teacher, after entering the room, didn't scold him right away. Instead, she slightly bent down, searching for something inside a drawer.
Today she wore a cool and elegant summer outfit; even the loose white summer blouse could hardly conceal her full, proud chest. When she bent down, the tight denim shorts hugged her curvy hips, outlining the contours of her body vividly in that moment.
Umu, that was a perfect curve of the hips, accompanied by a slim, toned waist revealed as she leaned forward.
But Eikou's face had gone pale; he had no mind to admire such an alluring sight.
All he could think about now were the five days of hellish training awaiting him, silently praying that he could somehow survive and return alive from the Land of Shadows.
"Found it."
Scathach suddenly spoke, decisively pulling out a sheet of paper from the drawer filled with documents.
"Here, take this."
That was...
An application form to join the Student Council...?
Eikou hesitantly took the form, then looked at her with deep confusion.
"Why are you giving this to me?" he asked. "Does your Land of Shadows also have a Student Council?"
"Idiot, look closely at the text — it says 'Chaldea Student Council'."
Scathach said coolly,
"To be precise, it was Finn who wanted to recommend you for the Student Council. But at the time, I held it back temporarily, because your grades were at the bottom of the class, and I thought it would only embarrass the Council. But now, things are different. Congratulations — you've become an excellent student in the top 10 of the grade."
"Top 10 of the grade?"
Eikou grew even more puzzled and quickly corrected her:
"Scathach-sensei, I think you made a mistake — I only ranked 11th in the entire grade..."
"At first, yes, but your luck is truly remarkable,"
Scathach crossed her arms in front of her soft chest, her expression becoming noticeably gentler.
"Just a moment ago, Jason — the one ranked above you — got a little too cocky and started bragging to his classmates about how cleverly he cheated, and just so happened to be overheard by Chiron passing by... So his score was canceled, and your rank rose by one place — right to 10th."
"???"
Amazing, after going through so much effort to cheat successfully under the strict surveillance of the proctors, he still lost everything right at the finish line.
Sasuga Jason, truly the kind of thing only he could pull off.
Thank you, Jason! Your sacrifice will not be in vain!
"But, I know full well that you must have cheated too..."
Scathach's crimson eyes suddenly sharpened.
"With your current academic foundation, there's no way you could possibly make it into the top 10. A student who was dead last in the previous exam suddenly jumping up to top 10 — the only possible explanation is that you cheated."
"..."
Eikou nervously swallowed his saliva, feigning an innocent and clueless look.
But Scathach's voice suddenly softened, her red lips curving into a faint smile.
"But since I didn't catch you in the act, I can't prove you cheated either. I checked the list of proctors for your exam room — if you managed to cheat successfully under those circumstances, then it's fair to say that your skills are worthy of the top 10, and you've lived up to the expectations I had for you.
"So, enjoy your vacation to the fullest. You've earned it."
"...Yes, ma'am!"
Eikou immediately let out a sigh of relief, smiling as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
[Amidst joy mixed with fear, you successfully achieved a top 10 ranking in the entire grade!]
[Your reputation in school has risen; you are rewarded with one Encouragement Dice, bringing your total to four.]
[You have fulfilled Scathach's request, and can finally enjoy this five-day vacation without any worries.]
[And with your outstanding results, you can now invite Baobhan Sith out on a date!]
"Alright then, if you want to join the Student Council, quickly fill out this form. It's best to submit it to the Student Council manager before the vacation starts tomorrow."
Scathach said with her hands on her hips.
"Are there any benefits to joining the Student Council?"
Eikou was still basking in the joy of victory, smiling as he asked.
"You'll gain partial administrative authority within the school. The Student Council you belong to will work together with the teachers in charge to handle school management. However, that also means responsibility and a lot of work, so I suggest you think carefully before deciding."
"Umu umu, let me think about it..."
Eikou's first reaction was, of course, not wanting to join.
Joining the Student Council would definitely take away what little free time he had after classes.
Part-time job, dating, gaming — he already felt like he didn't have enough time for those. If he joined the Student Council, he would surely become even busier, to the point he couldn't even breathe.
However...
This was also an opportunity to change himself and expand his social connections.
Having the identity of a Student Council member would make it easier for him to get to know other Servant students.
Even in the simplest sense, when there were phone checks or dorm inspections, he could at least give his friends a heads-up in advance.
The more Eikou thought about it, the more tempted he became.
Moreover...
Though not his main reason, he seemed to have heard that... Minamoto no Raikou was also part of this Student Council!
He wasn't expecting any romance or harboring unrealistic hopes, but just the thought of being able to interact with such a beautiful woman after joining the Student Council was already enough to make anyone daydream.
"Alright, I'll join."
Eikou nodded in agreement, raising the application form.
"I just need to bring this to the Student Council office to submit it, right? Then I'll go hand it in right now!"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the other person extended her slender, ice-cold hands, gently yet firmly wrapping around his body.
"Wait..."
Scathach's arms slid around his neck, and her soft, full, almost ripened body suddenly pressed tightly against his back.
Boing~
Through the fabric, he could feel something so soft it made his mind go blank.
Eikou's body instantly froze.
The Queen of the Land of Shadows leaned close against him, her crimson lips softly exhaling warm breath on his cheek.
"Have you forgotten... I once promised you, that as long as you lived up to my expectations, you would receive the reward you've always dreamed of..."
"You..."
Eikou nervously swallowed, cautiously turning his head.
Before his eyes was her beautiful, flushed face, her pale pink lips lightly bitten, exuding a mature allure that was impossible to resist.
In that instant, the cold and strict teacher transformed into a full, seductive woman, overflowing with femininity that could make anyone's heart waver.
"Since the vacation is coming, why don't we spend a day going on a date — so I can fulfill my promise to you?" the mentor said with a smile.
"W-what kind of date is it?" Eikou's face instantly turned bright red.
"Hehe..."
Scathach softly laughed, not answering directly but changing the topic instead.
"I originally planned to wait a bit longer — for example, until the night of your graduation, when I would let other parts of you graduate as well — but since you've met my expectations, I'll fulfill your request right now..."
Which part of me, and what request are you talking about?!
And, this is the teachers' office! What are you doing, aren't you afraid someone might suddenly walk in? People come and go here all the time!
This is completely against all moral standards! Who the hell taught you to treat men like this, Fairy Knight Lancelot?!
[Scathach has invited you on a date during the vacation. The exact time will be decided later.]
