Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"The other ministers' submissive attitude towards Cosette is mainly due to their lack of confidence. They haven't made any outstanding contributions during their tenure and can't find anything that makes them better than others. Even when Cosette makes things difficult for them, they can only say things like, 'I'm sorry,' or 'It's my fault.' So as long as Cosette says what they're thinking and applies a little pressure, they'll feel guilty, just like Lord Rudeus did to me just now."

I didn't speak, but chose to listen quietly to Lilith continue.

"But Lord Rudeus has the confidence because you have solved the problems that Cosette, as president, could not solve. Take the student groups of the Kingdom of Asura and the Kingdom of Wanglong, as well as the two beast-race young ladies from the Great Forest, Linia and Prusena, and you have also brought them into the student council. In addition, there is the blackboard that you previously promoted in the school. In terms of these contributions, you are absolutely qualified to run for president, although that is only under ideal conditions."

"Ideally..."

“That’s right, because even though Lord Rudeus has made so many contributions, Cosette still has the potential to defeat him.”

Lilith turned around abruptly, her gaze sharp and piercing, knowing exactly what I was most worried about at that moment.

"Because the election of the student council president is a process in which students choose from among the candidates, and other candidates have the right to transfer their votes to others, Cosette understands this, which is why she has the possibility of defeating Lord Rudeus."

Suddenly it dawned on me; I seemed to suddenly understand Cosette's purpose.

"So Cosette wants to replace the other ministers who are candidates with other people, and then count the votes they win attribution to the person she wants, thus winning the election, is that right?"

“That’s right. However, Cosette doesn’t see Lord Rudeus as an enemy. What she probably wants is only Lord Rudeus’s votes. The one she really wants to deal with is the vice president.”

"Vice President..."

……

"You two are finally back!"

Hilfi puffed out her cheeks, looking somewhat jealous.

Under the tree where the horse was tethered, Ms. Loki and Ms. Hilfi sat on the grass. It was getting dark, and they hoped they could get back to school before nightfall.

"Rudy, it's okay that you failed this time. I think that with Rudy's talent in magic, as long as he practices more, he will definitely be able to learn a king-level magic trick."

When Ms. Luo Qixi walked up to me with a smile on her face, I always felt a sense of healing.

Jobless Reincarnation: Even Without Transfer Events, I Will Still Live Seriously [Chapter 150] Secret Affairs

Chapter 150: Secret Conspiracy

……

My name is Dolan, I'm the vice president of the student council at this school, a sixth-year student, and if nothing unexpected happens, I'll be succeeding Cosette as the new student council president next year.

Perhaps this is the reward for my six years of diligent work in the student union.

I joined the student council in my first year. At that time, I was just a newcomer in the disciplinary department. I was harassed by Cosette Caroline, the then-department head, and I also encountered a bottleneck in my studies. I almost failed a course in my first year.

At that time, I was suffering both physically and mentally, and I even considered quitting the student council.

As a commoner from a hunter's family, I couldn't compare to a noblewoman like Cosette, who had people to take care of her both inside and outside the school.

When I was in my second year, Cosette became the vice president. She was only a third-year student at the time. I don't know what methods this woman used to go from minister to vice president in just one year, but I was still just an ordinary student council member.

Until I met Master Merlin, an old man who was almost a hundred years old but still as strong as an ox, who could use wind magic without chanting, and was also proficient in the Sword God Style, and had transformed the Sword God Style into a fist technique.

I took his wind magic course, and after a year of his instruction, I finally gained some fighting ability.

Perhaps Mr. Merlin was my benefactor. In my opinion, a benefactor doesn't necessarily have a prestigious status; it could just be a teacher I've known for a year. When I was about to give up and quit the student council, Mr. Merlin directly failed my wind magic subject. What he said to me, even two or three years later, I still can't forget:

"The purpose of life is to compete and strive. If young people don't fight for something for themselves, they might as well be dead."

The words were rough, but they immediately woke me up.

With the help of the magic and boxing skills that Mr. Merlin taught me, I became the school's crime-fighting hero for a time.

Various delinquents who challenged school rules and regulations were defeated by me, and the name of Dolan from the Disciplinary Committee spread throughout the school. At that time, all kinds of groups in the school would avoid me.

Based on these achievements, I successfully became the new Minister of Discipline.

I was in fourth grade that year.

In the same year, Cosette became the student council president. Her speech was disgusting. She took all the credit for my contributions to school discipline over the past two years. Every word she said was disgusting. In front of the students, she talked about how hard she had worked, how she had corrected the school's atmosphere, and how she had worked hard to create a better learning environment for the students.

That was entirely my job, but as her subordinate, I had no reason to object, because every single thing I did when cleaning up the "garbage" at school was approved by the student council, and Cosette had every right to say that I did the work under her leadership.

Fortunately, the other minister who was about to take over as vice president recommended me to become the new vice president, and he gave up his position to me.

I was very grateful to him, but good people don't live long. That same year, he was robbed and killed by bandits on his way home to visit his family.

I've been the vice president for two years now.

Cosette has rightfully served as president for two years now. When it comes to applying the rules, Cosette has never been weaker than anyone else, and I've more or less seen through her intentions.

The Minister of the Academic Affairs Department, Balk, resigned. Actually, Balk was a fairly capable person. Despite the pressure of having his activity budget cut, he still assisted the teachers in conducting the entrance exams for new students in an orderly manner. Although he did not achieve anything remarkable, he also did not make any mistakes.

I remember Cosette said that his last chance was the school anniversary celebration, but Balk didn't make it to that point, which was exactly what Cosette wanted.

She probably used the same old methods. Subordinates are already intimidated by their superiors, and she puts pressure on them step by step. She almost drove me away in the past, and now she has driven many others away as well.

As long as you're alive, you have to fight for something.

Although Master Merlin has passed away, his words remain in my heart, and I will never forget his teachings.

I owe a great deal to Merlin, so even for the sake of the deceased Merlin, I will never allow Cosette to continue running amok in this school.

Her idea was simple: to pave the way for her younger brother, especially since she now had capable subordinates.

Rudeus Boreas Grerat is her newly promoted Minister of Discipline, and she has achieved remarkable results. First, she promoted the blackboard to the school and then extended it to the surrounding areas. In addition, she solved the student groups of the Kingdom of Asura and the Kingdom of Wanglong that I couldn't solve, as well as the problems of those two beastmen young ladies who are so annoying.

Actually, I had a plan to deal with the student groups from the Asura Kingdom and the Dragon King Kingdom. I would provoke conflict between the two groups, have them fight a few times, and eventually find a reason to make them drop out of school.

But Rudius snatched them away and even recruited them into the student council, which infuriated me.

But there's nothing we can do; he's just a cut above the rest.

After all, taking care of those two orc princesses was a genuine achievement for him.

What I fear most in the next election is that Cosette will count all the votes from her classmates who supported Rudius, as well as the votes from others, as the person she wants.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Rudius might get the majority of votes, but given the negative rumors surrounding him, it remains to be seen whether he will receive a high number of votes.

In addition, the other ministers are not without merit and may even receive some votes. Of the two ministers who support me, one has already resigned, and the other will probably do so soon.

Dong dong dong

Upon hearing the knock on the door, I quickly got out of bed, dressed, and went to the dormitory entrance.

It's already past midnight, who would be knocking on the door at this hour?

"Who?"

I pressed myself against the door and looked through the peephole at a blurry figure. The figure wasn't very tall, was rather thin, and seemed vaguely familiar.

“I am Rudius Boreas Grerat, senior Dolan.”

Ludius?

What is he here for?

"Come in."

I opened the door and welcomed him inside, then lit the candlesticks.

He sat down in my chair without any hesitation and even crossed his legs.

"Are all the nobles of Asura this rude?"

I said irritably.

"No, after all, we are all Merlin's students. I think we can be more relaxed when we are with Senior Dolan."

He actually mentioned Professor Merlin...

That's true. Now everyone in the Magic Association knows that Rudeus used to hang out with Merlin.

I sat relaxed on the bed and handed him a glass of water.

"So, we're from the same school after all. Well then, tell me, what brings you here so late?"

He took the water glass, and the beauty mark at the corner of his eye was faintly visible in the candlelight.

"I'm here to discuss a collaboration with senior Dolan."

"cooperate?"

Jobless Reincarnation: Even Without Transfer Events, I Will Still Live Seriously [Chapter 151] Matryoshka Doll

……

"Rudeus and Ms. Loki have a very good relationship. It's really enviable."

Inside the student council room, Cosette sat with her legs crossed at her desk, glancing out the window while also glancing at Sylphie, who was organizing books and documents beside her.

“Ms. Loki was Rudy’s first teacher and a very important person to Rudy, so of course they had a good relationship.”

"That's what Hilfi said."

Cosette smiled slyly, rested her arm on the table, propped her chin on her hand, and teased:

"Hey, Silphiette, is the relationship between Professor Loki and Rudeus even better than your childhood friendship with Rudeus?"

"I don't think there's any point in comparing them."

Hilfi's face remained calm, but her ears drooped involuntarily.

She pretended to be calm, but in reality, she had her own internal scales. Even if others didn't say anything, she was still comparing herself to them, but no matter how she thought about it, she always seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Cosette got up and walked to her side, leaning on Sylphie's shoulder, and whispered:

"What if... I mean, what if Rudeus and Ms. Loki got together?"

"Tsk..."

Unwittingly, Sylphie broke the quill pen in her hand. Cosette didn't continue the conversation; she suppressed her smile and cupped Sylphie's cheeks in her hands.

“Hilufiette, as a woman, I still have to remind you that youth only lasts a few years. Instead of wasting it on someone who doesn’t like you, you should give yourself to someone who does.”

Cosette's gaze swept straight down, and Sylphie's eyes darted away desperately before she forcefully shook her head and broke free from Cosette's hands.

"Oh dear, I forgot that Hilfiet is still young and probably doesn't know what liking someone is."

“However, how does Sylphie know that Rudeus doesn’t like her?” Cosette said, gently stroking Sylphie’s head. “No, maybe I’m wrong. Sylphie knows that Rudeus doesn’t like you.”

"President... what exactly are you trying to say..."

Hilfi was stunned. She wanted to cover her ears, but she was desperately trying to keep her expression natural.

Cosette walked up to her, her eyes fixed on Sylphie.

“Hilufiette, guess what I’m going to say? The man who made you cry your heart out, the man who was being all lovey-dovey with another woman, is he worthy of you…”

Snapped!

"enough!"

Sylphie slammed her hand on the table, trying her best to maintain a calm expression, her teeth chattering.

"Excuse me, it's a bit hot today, I'd like to go outside for some fresh air."

After saying that, Hilfi got up and left the student council room.

Hearing the rapid thud of Sylphie's shoes hitting the floor, Cosette's face contorted into a sinister grin, and he almost burst out laughing.

She picked up the sealed paper bag on her desk, tore it open casually, and took out a piece of paper, which was an application: a self-recommendation letter for a minister.

The plan was already halfway complete. She glanced at the calendar on the table and then looked out the window. Two people stood out. One was wearing a dark blue student council uniform, and the other was wearing a plain white one. They were Rudeus and Lilith, walking side by side toward the cafeteria.

"Mulgore, that's all I can do, sister. The rest is up to you."

……

"I cannot love you beyond my own life, because you are already a part of my life."

Mogore sat at his bedroom desk, on which was a calendar with similar markings. The two most prominent red circles were on two dates: the school anniversary in a few weeks and the election in six months.

In addition, it was piled high with colorful books:

"Three Sentences to Make a Girl Kiss Me Eighteen Times", "A Collection of Love Songs by a Romantic Scholar", "Sowing the Flowers of Love in the Fields of Hope"...

Books like these are the kind that make boys' hearts flutter and girls blush.

He was holding a very heavy-looking notebook in his hands. He gritted his teeth, occasionally poking his head with the pen, writing something in the notebook, and crossing out something else...

This isn't a good sentence; isn't it a bit too cheesy?

Mulgore's gaze shifted downwards, looking at the following words:
