Persuasion (1)
Three days later. During the special class’ homeroom, that started. Amidst the risk of an enemy attack, Asch actually dedicated three days worth of time.『It’s that spadework, where the romance lies』, is the manic Magician’s catchphrase.
“Mira……distribute the printouts”
“It is very much against my wish, but understood”
The competent butler says and politely hands over the printout, one person at a time. Without handing it over to the people in the very front row, she deliberately hands it over to everybody by hand and makes the involved parties conscious of it. It is brilliant……aside from the printout’s content.
“……Asch-sensei, what is this?”
Lily, the beautiful honour student young girl, immediately raises her hands and asks a question. It’s neither to harass him nor irritate him; it’s because she seriously didn’t understand.
“Rejoice. I am thinking of changing your uniform from next month onwards”
The Dark Magician answers with a smile from ear to ear
“……to the design on this printout?”
“Aah”
“……half, of the butt is out though”
“I didn’t find any school rule saying that you can’t have them out”
“……please wait for a moment. Please, let me take one deep breath”
“Go ahead”
Suー……haーa.
“……sorry, one more time”
“As many times as you like”
Suー……haーa.
“What kinda nonsense are you saying―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――!!!!!”
Inside the school building, that beautiful young girl’s angry roar, reverberated.
“In-, incredible lung capacity as always huh, Lily＝Schwarz-kun”
“Th-, th-, there’s no way we can wear such an infinitely obscene outfit, right!?”
The beautiful honour student young girl’s face is crimson red.
“I have a profound reason for this. Three days ago, I set up a『suggestion box』, right?”
“……what are you saying is up with that?”
The ‘suggestion box’ is, in other words, a complain box, which was set up in this special class that this Deputy Board Chairman is the teacher-in-charge of, under the pretext of a dry run.
“Half of the students’ opinions are actually『the uniform is lame』, and the wish of『I want to renew the uniform』. Here, look”
Saying that, he pours out the forms from the suggestion box.
“……”
“Here, there are no tricks at all”
Asch declares openly.
A lie, it is.
It’s no more than the competent butler having prepared the each of the anonymous form with a different handwriting and putting them in this suggestion box. An extraordinarily bold and satisfying cheating, it is.
However, since the individual with the highest authority was the cheater, it was extraordinarily effective here.
“……I, wrote『Please fire Asch-sensei』thrice a day though”
“As I thought, it’s you huh. You wrote your name openly, didn’t you. Openly. Duplicated votes from the same person won’t be recognised”
“…..”
However, the competent butler knows. The fact that even without her vote, the wish for his dismissal received the most votes. The manic Magician ended up, unexpectedly, suffering severe mental damage.
“But……was this really written by the people of this class?”
The beauty honour student beautiful young girl points out sharply.
“……it’s a given, isn’t it Who else is there”
“Then, I will ask. Who are the ones who wrote,『I want to renew the school uniform』in this suggestion box”
……shiーn.
“Fuu……they were obviously able to write it because it’s anonymous, right. You who haven’t even a fragment of tact might not get it though”
“Guguh……I don’t want to hear anything about tact from you!”
With Lily who argues back, the students are all in complete agreement. ‘But, it’s true that Lily doesn’t have tact either’, they secretly thought in their heart subsequently.
“Fuu……sure. Responding to a student’s argument is also a teacher’s duty. Today, let’s have a long discussion about it, shall we”
“”……””
‘Eeh, we’re going to discuss that much on this matter!?’, are all the students’ thoughts.
Here, a worthless homeroom that one rarely sees at Hogner Magic Academy started.
