Chapter 251: Fake Student (Bonus)
“Did you hear the news?”
“Yeah. They have found out a spy of the terrorist organization in the school and they are planning to execute him.”
“As expected of the student council, they are so reliable.”
“Right?”
The students gathered in the hall, watching the execution. Considering they were summoners who had fought not only aliens but also humans, they were no stranger to the concept of blood and death.
That was why they weren’t bothered to have a public execution.
In the hall, there was a man wearing the same uniform as them. His body had been locked by the special material that stopped them from using the Ena.
He seemed to have been drugged because they found his gaze empty. His body was on the floor, kneeling.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at the students, trying to recognize him. However, not a single one of them could actually picture that person’s face in their mind.
“Who is he?”
“Is he a first-year?”
“I have never seen him, so he must be a first-year.”
“Right? The first year just had an accident, so it wouldn’t be weird if there was a spy in their year.”
The upperclassmen were convinced that this guy was the first year. However, the first-year students had never seen him.
While the academy was spacious, there were not a lot of students. In fact, there were only 140 people that were recorded at the Frexia Academy from the first year to the third year.
They could easily remember each other. That was why this action confused almost everyone.
“Did they actually bring out a fake student?”
“I don’t know. Are they using that poor guy as propaganda?”
“What the hell is the student council doing?”
They couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied.
However, the student council didn’t seem to care about it. They continued with the execution by beheading this person.
“The academy is now safe! There won’t be anyone daring to mess with our academy,” Flora declared out loud.
The people were disappointed in Flora. She had done a lot of things in the academy and her achievements were like thunder reverberating in their ears.
Yet Flora actually chose to do something this foolish. They were not foolish enough to accept everything as it was.
“This is wasting our time.”
“It seems Flora has gone out of her mind.”
“I’m disappointed.”
“The student council has fallen so low. Should I begin my preparation to take over the student council?”
The general students weren’t the only ones feeling disappointed. Even inside the student council, there was one person that couldn’t help but voice their complaint.
“President! What the hell are you doing? Why are you using a fake student as propaganda? The image of our student council has been smeared!” Axel shouted in anger while banging on the table.
Flora shook her head. “What are you talking about? This is necessary. You should have realized that there are people watching this academy, right? We are using that fake body to bait them out.”
“There are other ways. Why do you think we have been working tirelessly in the past few weeks? It is to find them. And because of your action, the people have lost trust in the student council. It won’t take long before we become a laughingstock!” Axel clenched his fists.
Even the other student council members were frowning, knowing that Axel’s complaint was justified. In fact, they felt the same.
“No. This is the best way. We’ll be able to bait them out.” Flora waved her hand, not accepting the complaint.
“You must have gone insane! Most students don’t even know we are being watched. There’s no need to openly bait them like this, especially at the cost of our reputation.” Axel bit his lips. “If this continues, I don’t think you are fit to be the student council president anymore.” freewebnvel.coɱ
“Oi, Axel. You have gone too far.” Noelle tried to stop him.
“Don’t stop me, Noelle! I know your family has been serving the royal family for generations, but this is too much.”
“I don’t plan to make any corrections or clarifications.” Flora shook her head.
“You…” Axel stomped the ground. “Just you wait. This mistake will be your downfall!”
“I can tolerate you inviting a first-year student as a new member because the new will replace the old, but this is too much!” Axel stormed out of the room in anger.
Even the others weren’t in the mood to work because of Flora’s questionable decision.
And it didn’t take too long for something big to happen.
All of a sudden, a student barged into the student council while reporting out loud. His forehead was covered in sweat, as if he were rushing from somewhere far.
“Not good. Not good. We need your help!”
“What happens?” Flora frowned, asking the man.
He couldn’t help but remember what happened to the room he went into earlier.
That room usually contained all kinds of glass bottles for experiments. But when he entered it not long ago, all the glass bottles had been destroyed. A lot of liquid was splashing on the ground, which ruined them.
It was chaos. From the looks of it, someone must have destroyed that place for a reason.
“I don’t know what is happening, but the laboratory is completely destroyed. Someone must have destroyed it!”
“!!!” The students in the council were frowning, wondering if this was the effect Flora was after.
This kind of attack would mean one thing. It seemed the culprit didn’t like the fact they used a fake student for propaganda. He wanted to let them know he was still alive and would mess with them.
“We should check them!”
“Let’s go!”
“Yeah.”
They had no choice but to agree with Flora, considering they were curious about the state of the laboratory he mentioned.
They stormed out of the room and rushed to the laboratory, passing Nathan, who was about to come to the student council. Even Selena was among them, since she had been working in the student council.
Nathan looked at their backs and started chasing them. “I’m going too, I guess.”
As soon as they arrived, they couldn’t help but gasp. “What in the world is this?”
