Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"President..."

The student council members were somewhat hesitant about not getting a response from Cosette that refuted Dolan's claims.

Although Cosette is stereotyped as having treacherous and ruthless methods, that is simply a manifestation of her strength, because Cosette, who possesses great power, has no need for such despicable means.

"So you won't deny that you kidnapped and coerced Teacher Luo Qixi, right?"

Dolan clenched his fists, his anger rising at Cosette's dismissive tone.

"Yeah, so what?"

Cosette stood up and walked up to Dolan, a flippant expression on her face.

"So? You want to bring me down?"

"Of course!"

After hearing Dolan's reply, Cosette paced back and forth on the high platform, then stopped, a chilling smile appearing on her face; the mere sight of her gaze sent shivers down one's spine.

"Heh, that's right, I did all those things. So? Do you want me to apologize?"

"..."

The hall fell silent. Some of Cosette's longtime followers had become vacant, as if they couldn't accept what she was saying. Others, seemingly her fervent admirers, didn't think her actions were excessive and looked at the woman on the platform with admiration.

"Is this really okay? It's true that, generally speaking, killing classmates and threatening teachers is not the behavior of a good student. So, I'm the bad student, and you're the good students. But who is truly guiding this school towards a better future? In my three years in office, how many bad students have been expelled? It was all to protect you good students. How many of the previous presidents couldn't correct or even colluded with them? How many of them have you seen?"

“You’re nothing but a despicable dictator!” Dolan roared.

"No, I was just protecting the right of more people to enjoy learning and life. However, because of the hypocrisy of some people, the dreams of those students who paid tuition and wanted to study and live in this school were shattered. You have seen many such 'victims', and some of you may even be among them. Moreover, you can't do anything on your own, so you can only remain silent."

"..."

"Silence is ambiguity, and ambiguity is bias! Humiliation, bullying, rape—the ill-intentioned do evil, and are then protected by you hypocrites. The students who silently endure these things become the 'victims' you've seen. You've become numb to that kind of life, justifying yourselves day after day until you accept those 'evil' habits. It's a pity, this is what the old Lanoa Magic University was like."

Cosette's gaze was icy, sending chills down one's spine, but Dolan remained unmoved by her words. He was more like an enraged lion, roaring:

"What right do you have to talk about these things, someone who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals! The vice president still has his own dreams, and his family's hopes..."

"What does sacrificing one or two people matter!? Only when I become the student council president will the old Lanoa Magic University, that cradle of hypocrites, become a thing of the past! In the years I've been in office, I've reorganized the student council, the truancy rate has dropped by 70%, bullying incidents have been reduced by half, and robberies and rapes have been reduced by 90%! Only I can truly protect this school and ensure that good students are no longer afraid of evil. It's not that I want to take over this school, but that this school needs me!"

A violent atmosphere hung between Cosette and Dolan; the air seemed to freeze.

"That's just an illusion created by the power of the chairman. You, who became chairman by any means necessary, can only be 'evil,' and what awaits you is the judgment of 'justice.'"

"If it were you, Dolan, could you do it?"

"Bah..."

Dolan silently took a step back. His previous momentum had been completely suppressed by Cosette. The struggle with Cosette had occupied almost all of his college years, but only now did he truly see the gap between himself and Cosette.

“Only I can do this. Enjoying the peace I bring you without a second thought, being a hypocrite of ‘evil’ while standing on a pedestal of righteous indignation to criticize even the slightest impurity in those who protect you—is this your justice, Dolan?”

Cosette stepped over Dolan, who was unable to move as if his feet were made of lead. At this moment, Dolan had gone from being the one closest to victory to becoming a complete loser.

She glanced at Dolan out of the corner of her eye before turning her gaze to all the students in the audience.

"Dear students, although I still very much want to continue serving as the student council president of this school and continue to create a new campus with a beautiful environment, I am about to graduate, which is a very regrettable thing."

"President! What should we do?!"

"That's right, President!"

"Please stay, President!"

"Please, Mr. President!"

……

The audience erupted in cheers once again, with almost all the students pleading for Cosette to stay. In their hearts, it was like a group of small fishing boats sailing in the dark who had just found a lighthouse to guide them, but now, the lighthouse's light was about to go out.

At that moment, another group of people suddenly turned their guns on Dolan.

"Dolan! Get down here!"

"Get off!"

"Get off!"

The insults grew louder and louder, and Dolan could only grimace as he slunk off the platform and left the venue.

"Please be quiet, everyone."

Cosette's lips parted slightly, the student council members stood in a row, and the students below fell silent once again.

"Although I can no longer serve you all, there is one person who has the ability to continue making this school harmonious and wonderful. I hope you will give him your trust and hope, for he can lead you all to a bright future. He is—"

……

"I guess it's Mulgore."

"Mulgore was just taken away by the Magic Association, but..."

"Stop talking, the president hasn't finished yet."

……

"That is Rudius Boreas Greirat!"

At this moment, all the students' eyes turned to Rudius, who was sitting in the side seat.

Rudeus's face flushed slightly as he naturally bowed to the audience. Lilith, standing beside him, turned her cheek slightly to the side, while Cosette on the platform, with her gentle gaze, revealed a chilling coldness.

……

"It's Rudius's reply! That's wonderful!"

Alice held up the letter and ran around the dojo shouting, her feet slamming against the smooth wooden planks with loud "bang bang bang" sounds.

"Ugh……"

Izuru sat cross-legged in the middle of the dojo, her chin resting on her hand, a hint of helplessness on her face. Alice in front of her seemed to have completely forgotten the rumors between Rudeus and Lilith, the eldest daughter of the Aiolos family. As soon as she saw the letter, she raised her eyebrows to the sky.

……

"Izalute, I want to ask you a favor. If possible, please find an opportunity to persuade Alice to come home."

……

“Albert, as the older brother, is always busy with that ‘little doll’ (referring to Noren) at home. If he misses his sister, he can just come to the dojo to see her. It’s only two streets away,” Izoruti complained.

Albert's words echoed in her mind. For the past six months, Alice and Kyrie had been living in the dojo to practice swordsmanship. It was always incomprehensible to outsiders that two swordsmen of the Sword God School lived in the main dojo of the Water God School, but the Water God Lyda did not seem to care. Moreover, she was on very good terms with Kyrie and Alice.

Therefore, Izuru, who already felt apologetic towards her master, did not experience any additional psychological burden as a result.

But right now, Alice has just received a letter, and while she's in a good mood, it might be a good opportunity to persuade her to go home.

Thinking of this, Izuru got up, put the wooden sword on the weapon rack, went into the inner room, poured out a basin of hot water from the stove, and used the wet towel to wipe her pale cheeks, sliding it down her sweat-drenched, snow-white neck into her bodice.

She took off her uniform, the white coarse linen leaving faint marks on her fair chest and waist. Her slender hands picked up the towel from the basin again, wiping away the sweat from her body, while a faint pinkish hue appeared on her face.

After a short while, having finished wiping herself down, Isoru put on her heavy long coat and jacket, let down her waist-length hair and combed it again. After tidying herself up in front of the mirror in the corner of the room, she walked lightly out of the room and headed out of the dojo.

"What are you going to do, Izuru?"

Alice put away the letter and asked after seeing Izuru, who had already changed her clothes and was ready to go out.

"Cough cough,"

Izuru's lips curled up slightly before she quickly suppressed it, clearing her throat as she said, "I'm a little hungry, I'd like to go get something good to eat."

"Ah! Wait for me! I'm coming too!"

"Good good."

As they were talking, Alice came out of the house after changing into the Royal Guard's high-necked coat.

“Alice is always so fast, she’s losing her femininity,” Izoruti asked.

"I just splashed some water on it, wiped myself with a towel, and then put on my clothes and came out..." Alice replied casually.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

"it is good!"

……

Walking down the street, Izuru looked at Alice and grinned mischievously:

"Did your husband Rudius write anything in the letter?"

Alice blushed and placed her hands on her chest.

"Rudius..."

Izuru was quite surprised and could hardly believe her eyes. Alice's reaction would not be strange at all if it were any other noble lady receiving a letter from her lover.

But she is Alice. Who is Alice? She is the female demon who can go three or four days without bathing, fight from morning to night, and still go to the Knights' training ground to train soldiers the next day. She is the mountain monkey princess of the Boreas family!

Although I've seen Alice cry because of the rumors, such girlish sentiments are truly rare for Izuru.

"Rudius said in his letter that he would return on his fifteenth birthday!"

Alice could no longer contain her joy and, after a moment of silence, finally spoke the words she had kept hidden for several minutes.

"return?"

"Yeah! How about that! Isn't it amazing! Rudeus told me not to tell anyone, Izuru, you have to keep it a secret for me."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Seeing Alice grinning foolishly, Izuru didn't ask any further questions, but instead put on a smile herself.

They say fools are lucky, and that might actually be true.

Although Alice didn't seem particularly bright, Izuru was quite envious. Many of the young ladies and gentlemen who grew up in the capital like herself were now married, some even parents. While Alice hadn't reached that point yet, seeing the happy way Alice exchanged letters with her fiancé made Izuru feel a little envious.

"By the way, isn't this the road we're going to... never mind, I'm not going."

Just past the intersection, Alice recognized that this was the road leading to the Boreas Mansion, and muttered as she turned to walk back.

Izuru quickly grabbed Alice's arm and used all her strength to keep Alice in place.

"It's just about going to eat something delicious! What difference does it make where we eat?"

"No! I don't want to go!"

"What's wrong with going for a bit? It's not like you'll lose a piece of flesh."

"No! It's worse than losing a piece of flesh!"

……

In the carriage, Albert pulled Noren into his arms and affectionately patted her head. "What did the teacher talk about in class today, little Noren?"

Noren buried her face in Albert's arms and said sweetly:

"Well... I learned some basic water magic tricks. Although I learned them at home, I've forgotten most of them now..."

"Young Master Albert, Miss Alice is outside."

The horseman poked his head out and said.

"Alice? Then let's stop."

Albert had just peeked out when he saw Izuru holding Alice back like a servant was holding onto the family's fierce large hunting dog to prevent it from running away. The powder she had just applied when she left home was almost gone.

"If you stop me again, I'm going to beat you up!" Alice yelled, hugging a nearby tree trunk.

"How long has it been since you went home! What's wrong with going back once?!" Izoruti said, desperately pulling at Alice.

"That's not my home!"

……

"Alice!"

“Albert…”

When Izuru saw Albert hurrying toward her, she immediately let go of his hand, composed herself, and returned to her normal demeanor.
