Chapter 208 - Student Council [ Part 3 ]
"The plan… it didn't go as we intended it to." Ulvoric says as he clutches his hands in a prayer motion.
To simplify what's happening here, let me say… Ulvoric and I have a deal.
I know the plot and know what's going to happen… so why not exploit it?
Three months ago, when I learned of Veronica being Abigail… or actually ignoring all the factors of her being the Final Villain of this Arc, I realize that her downfall wasn't only at one point, it started from Arthur getting into the academy.
Arthur started recruiting people to his cause right from the academy, so I had to do something to dissolve this mess. So along with everything else I did, I also made sure to take care of the academy in my way.
I needed to cut off all the bad weeds in it, so I used Ulvoric.
In the original story, Ulvoric didn't have a good ending. He gets defeated by Arthur at the middle point in the academy and is completely forgotten after that.
But there was something about Ulvoric that made him special, the guy knew how to use his brain and he also had a firm background behind him.
He only needed a push to thrive inside the academy and that's what I gave him. I gave him power and also a place in the student council. Then it was with his own strength that the guy got bumped up to Vice-President in three months.
In exchange for all that I got his allegiance.
He would do everything I told him to do and many more. The plan he was talking about, was to get rid of the list of people I deemed dangerously for my fang bang.
There were two persons on the list that I had highlighted in red and meant that this two were the most important and MUST be rid of.
Ulvoric though defeated in the novel is a smart person. He was able to get rid of all the person on the list… except for one.
"Jennifer Snowhail"
Ulvoric face turned awry as he looked away from me, "I remember telling you to that she's important."
"Yes, I know." Ulvoric said and brought out two glasses and poured us drinks. "I tried very hard to get her out but-"
"Tried?... this is not a try and fail situation, Ulvoric." I say, firmly, "It's a do or die one and you just fucked it up."
Ulvoric took a sip as he pleaded, "I'm sorry… I really did everything, everything I could to get her out but she somehow manages to always get out of the problems I create."
Ulvoric would create problems or situations that would implicate the teacher quite so and then he would use such situations to get rid of them with his student council's power.
"And why'd you stop?" I ask as the guy guiltily looks away.
"At one of the problems, I… I kind of left a trace."
"Hah… Ulvoric."
"I know how bad it is." Ulvoric said, "But I also managed to take care of it… somewhat."
"And what's somewhat?"
Ulvoric gave a wry smile as he rubbed the glass in his hands, "She doesn't know who did it. She's trying very hard to find it out, even came up here at one point, trying to see if it's one of us."
"But she didn't find out… and now I'm just waiting for the trail to go cold and her to let the guard down a bit."
"And then what?"
"I am hatching something… that will definitely get rid of her, I just need some time."
"How long?"
"Two or three months."
I sigh deeply, "Ulvoric… that wasn't part of the deal."
Before he could say anything I speak, "I specifically gave you such a place so that you can be of use. I even added that Elivia girl as your fiancé because with her background, you would be able to get in high places after graduating."
"But not only do I come to see the plan disarrayed, you can't even control your fiancé and the one you're actually shacking up with isn't even relevant to me."
Ulvoric's eyes widened and he gulped, "…You knew?"
"It's that Bethany girl, right?"
"Ye- Yeah, it's just fun, Mr. Tax. Nothing more."
"If it's nothing more than why does she get involved in your plans so much." I ask as the guy broke up in sweat, "You're using those two, as your sticks… what will happen if one of those sticks break?"
"I assure you sir, that won't happen." Ulvoric said and got up, "Please trust me, one more time."
"You're asking for another chance? You do know I don't give second chances, right?"
Ulvoric's eyes was wide enough to fall out, he knew that if Henry leaves him here, then all that he had worked so hard for will fall out immediately.
"But… you have been useful to me, so why not."
"Hah!" Ulvoric smiled with great joy, "Thank you, Mr. Tax. Thank you. I will definitely make sure to do everything from now on with absolute caution and diligently for you."
I nod, somewhat satisfied.
The guy fucked up sure, but that didn't mean I had to completely throw him away. He's a good chip I have in the academy… at least I should use him completely before giving up.
And if he fucks up… I also have other chips too.
"You'll show that diligence when the princess from the Sekai Kingdom arrives."
"Alright, Sir!" The guy almost saluted in happiness.
I finally take a sip of the drink and ask, "And where is the President?"
'At least this guy has good drinks.'
"She went out for some hunt." Ulvoric said. "We've got reports that the Suifon Desert is clamoring up with a lot of monster activity lately. So much that traveling through the safe paths are becoming a problem for everyone."
"So the army sent out some requests and she lead a team there to take care of it."
'I wonder… did she really go there to take care of it or to extract samples?'
"This is the file about her." I take the file and take a look at it before nodding and get up.
"I'll check back later." I turn around and start to leave.
"Sir… is it true what they say?" I look back and he continues, "That you're going to marry her?"
"It'd be best if you focused more on the job I give you instead of me, Ulvoric."
"R- Right"
…
I hide the file inside my clothes and walk out the building. But suddenly I hear a sobbing sound that makes me turn there.
At one corner was Elivia, sitting on the ground and slowly balling her eyes out.
'That bitch… can't even handle a bit scolding. Just how spoiled is she?'
I walk up to her and place a tissue at her legs. At the sudden intrusion, she looks up and becomes shocked, "You!"
Immediately her hostility level rises high and she gets up from the ground with the tissue, "Take it! I don't want anything with your scent."
"I got scolded for no reason by Ulvoric because of you."
"I'm not giving it to you for good relationship, it's because your makeup's all undone." I say and she freaks and start using a small mirror to correct herself.
Finally done with it, Elivia feels a bit better and embarrassed, "Th- Thank you for… he's left me."
"That Bastard!"
