[Raven's POV]

"Come and join us."

Lillen said to me and Alec.

But I ignored her and looked at Alec while holding back a laugh.

'I'm glad to see this in person... Lol.'

I thought.

Alec is blushing really hard, his face was red as a tomato.

And his eyes are focused on Lillen.

"Hey."

I muttered and elbowed his side.

"H-huh? O-okay!"

Then Alec exclaimed in a loud ear deafening voice.

Resulting everyone to look at him.

"Pfft-"

Alec is panicking, and it's hilarious seeing him like that.

"..."

Everyone just looked at Alec with wide open eyes because of his loud yell just now.

"Sorry..."

And realizing what he did, Alec apologized bashfully.

He was so awkward.

And from my perspective, it's funny.

'It's the best seeing someone be awkward in front of their crush... First crush, to be precise.'

I thought.

In the novel, Alec was immediately captivated by Lillen's beauty as soon as he saw her!

It's Alec's first time to feel something like that, so he doesn't know what to do.

Making him act like an idiot in front of Lillen from time to time in the novel.

Unlike me who already merged with my past life memories, Alec is still absorbing his memories from his past life at this time.

So imagine him as a teenager who watched and memorized a movie about a magical old man's life.

And me as someone who watched and memorized a movie about a handsome and incredible dude, but in that movie, I was the actor and the protagonist.

Anyway, as the atmosphere was awkward, Lana approached Lillen, she took a chair and sat beside her.

'In the novel, they're so close and consider each other as sisters.'

Fortunately, it looks like that wasn't changed.

Then, Alec walked toward where Blake and the others are.

He didn't say anything else to avoid further self embarrassment.

While me, I looked at Lillen.

Beautiful light blue eyes that seems like ice.

Shiny long obsidian-black hair.

Sexy reddish lips and a pointed nose.

A figure as sexy as models with big bosoms and a milk-white smooth skin.

Lillen was really beautiful.

'Well, that's why Alec was captivated at first sight lol.'

[You demon, stop it.]

Sariel asked me to.

'But it's funny.'

I replied inwardly.

[...]

And Sariel wasn't able to respond back.

"What are you doing just standing there?"

And at that time, Lillen asked me.

"Nothing."

I replied and joined Alec and the others.

And on my way to them, that's when I noticed that Cooper and Cenric are also in the room.

Cooper is looking at me with a frown, while Cenric is just calm.

I ignored them as I don't really have something to do with them.

And when I sat on the sofa, beside Blake.

"Now that you guys are here, let's go to the main subject... There's no need for introduction right?"

Lillen then said and asked.

And because everyone here already knows one and another, we all nodded.

"Good."

"Then as you guys probably noticed by now, all of you here were invited to join the student council."

Lillen stated.

Me, Blake, and others looked at each other after her words.

"And I would like some of you to be a freshman representatives."

"Four of you to be precise."

Lillen continued, she's not beating around the bush, and I like that.

"Now... All of you are qualified enough to be a freshman representative, but four representatives per grade level is the max."

"And even if you're just a member, you'll have the same pros and cons as the representatives."

Lillen explained, all of us are focused at her words as they were important... Especially Alec, he's really paying attention.

"For example, we have a lot of fun social activities."

Lillen stated.

"Right, and the pros?"

And I replied.

At my words, Everyone looked at me weirdly.

"What?"

I asked them.

"..."

But no one answered me.

"Anyway, I'll call the freshman representatives we picked."

And Lillen just carried on, ignoring my question.

"Eve Godwin."

Lillen called out.

Tap.

And Eve stood up and stepped forward as a response, Lillen smiled and opened her mouth again.

"Curtis Hawkins."

Tap.

And copying Eve, Curtis stood up and stepped forward too when he was called.

"Alec Osmond."

"H-here!"

"Pfft-"

Alec is still being nervous and shy being near with Lillen, and it's still funny as fuck.

Everyone is looking at him weirdly, but the Eve, Adelle, and Aoi were looking at him more intently.

Alec of course noticed the weird stares he's getting.

Tap.

He doesn't want to embarrass himself anymore, so he proudly stepped forward and stood beside Curtis.

"And lastly..."

Lillen muttered and looked at me.

"Raven Obadiah."

And she called my name.

I stood up...

Tap.

And confidently stepped forward, and maybe because of the situation and my excitement.

Swoosh-

<Monarch's Presence> activated a little, giving me a more elegant aura.

Making everyone around me frown a little, not that I mind as I stood beside Alec.

'The original freshman representatives are; Alec, Curtis, Even, and Aoi...'

I recalled.

And even knowing that I probably stole Aoi's spot, I don't really care.

'She doesn't need it anyway, and I deserve this spot too.'

I thought.

And as I was in my own thoughts...

"The four of you will be the voice of the freshmen. And you'll be the bridge between us seniors, and you, juniors."

Lillen declared.

"As for the others, you all would be joining as a normal member."

"You'll be in charge of the freshmen's security and peace."

"And there would be some tasks assigned to you guys sometimes."

And Lillen informed Blake and the others.

"So, I'll ask just in case. Are you guys sure you still want to join?"

Then she asked us with a serious tone.

""Yes.""

And we all just simply replied in unison.

At our answer, Lillen smiled.

"Then give me your Lunar IDs and let me officially add you guys as a member."

Then she said, and at her instruction.

"Here's mine."

"Here."

"..."

Well all gave her our IDs.

After receiving our IDs, Lillen took out 2 types of stickers from a drawer of her desk.

And she started sticking them one by one in each of our IDs.

Then After that, Lillen gave our IDs back to us.

"I already registered you guys in the student council. The stickers are code that would give you access to rooms that are only accessible by professors and us."

Lillen explained.

"Welcome to the student council."

And then she greeted us with a warm smile.

"Welcome."

"Welcome to the student council."

Lana and Cenric followed her lead.

Cooper looked at me and frowned.

"..Wel...come."

Then he grumbled.

'Wow, he's struggling to greet me huh.'

I thought.

"And Raven."

Then Lillen called me again.

"Yes?"

"About the condition you mentioned, what do you really mean by that?"

She asked.

And Alec and the others looked at me with curiosity when they heard that.

But I ignored them and smiled at Lillen.

"I want to have an access to the Lunar's private dungeons."

Then I declared.

"!"

Everyone around me was shocked by my words and their eyes were wide open.

"You know we can't do that, only sophomore and tertiary are allowed to go inside Lunar's dungeons."

Lillen said as she shakes her head.

"I know that..."

"But you can request me an access to the dungeons from the headmaster, right?"

I asked, Lillen looked at me like I'm a weirdo.

"Yeah I can, but the headmaster wouldn't give you access for no reason."

Then she said.

"Just request one for me, I deserve it for disposing trashes... and that old man knows that."

I stated with a small frown.

"What did you just said?"

"Nothing... Just request an access for me."

"...Okay"

In the end, Lillen just said okay.

"Hey, that's not fair!"

"Yeah, I want to enter those dungeons too!"

And immediately right after that, Curtis and Eve voiced out their dissatisfaction.

"Um, I want to have access there too."

"Me too, if possible."

Then Alec and Aoi calmly followed.

Adelle and Blake were just silent, but they probably feel the same as them.

I glanced at them for a second before looking back at Lillen.

"Answer them."

Then I said with a smirk.

"That asshole..."

I heard Cooper badmouth me, but his insults doesn't really affect me.

But what does bother me is Lana, she's looking at me intently with a slight frown.

She leaned her face near Lillen's ear...

"Are you sure we made the right decision recruiting him?"

Then she whispered.

'I can hear you, you idiot.'

[Well, you can't blame her, you look like a conman with your smirks.]

'A handsome conman.'

[Shameless bastard.]

"Haaa..."

As Sariel and me were arguing, Lillen let out a sigh and shook her head in defeat.

"I'm gonna request an access from the headmaster for all of you."

Then she declared.

"But it's up to the headmaster if he'll approve them or not."

Lillen added.

"Fine by me."

"If I can't get one, then Raven wouldn't get it too either way."

Then Eve and Curtis stated.

'Those two really hates me huh...'

[Well, it's all your fault.]

'Yeah... I created them.'

[...]

After my few exchanges of words with Sariel...

"Okay, is that all you guys want?"

Lillen asked, she seems to be tired because of her works in the council.

Not that I care that much, so I opened my mouth again.

"A room."

I said.

"Huh?"

And everyone looked at me again like I was some kind of a shameless dog.

But I don't care, my room sucks and I don't want to be there anymore.

Also add the walls not being soundproof, it might only leak weak sounds, but for awakeners like me.

With enhanced senses, it's easy to hear what's going on in the other rooms.

'I want my privacy...'

I can still remember Blake hearing me and Keara doing something from his room.

"Haaa..."

"I'll try to get you a new room too."

Then Lillen said to me.

The others didn't say anything, they already have the best rooms for a freshman in the academy after all.

Except, Blake...

Well anyway, the others seems to be dissatisfied with the special treatment I'm getting.

'Well, I would be unpleased too if I were in their situation...'

'But Lillen is pretty desperate right now, because there are other groups that are on par with the student council, and they're growing at a fast rate...'

If me, Alec, or the others were scouted by those group.

Then the student council would lose more power and authority.

Then Lillen's plan for the future would be harder for her to achieve.

So I'm taking advantage to her desperation.

[Asshole.]

'Fuck off.'

Anyway, I brightly smiled at Lillen again.

"Thanks, In exchange, I'll do my best being a representative."

Then I said.
