Academy Retirement Diary of the Student Council President

'The date......'

[December 21st, 2029]

[7:34]

December 21st. It seemed like there was still some time left before the original story began.

Instinctively turning on my smartphone to check the alarm, it seemed the closing ceremony for the break was yesterday.

Thanks to that, I didn't have to struggle to go to school, which I guess is fortunate.

'I panicked thinking I'd have to leave the dormitory, but the system where graduating 3rd years leave Raon Academy and their spots are taken by new 1st years was quite novel. Thanks to that, unless I get expelled, I can use the same dorm for all three years, which is nice.'

Single rooms are usually given to students with outstanding skills.

Raon Academy, with about 120 students per grade, has a setting where rooms are assigned based on rank, which is determined by whether you exceed a certain score in the tutorial section.

The lowest quality dormitory has six people living in a room with only three double beds, followed by quad rooms, double rooms, and finally, the single room I'm using.

'Were there only... 20 people who could use a single room?'

If so, Yun Sea's current Academy rank is at least within the top 20. Since the Protagonist was already maintaining 1st place as the youngest Student Council President when they enrolled, it's probably safe to assume my rank is 1st.

'Status window, I didn't get a good look earlier.'

As I muttered 'status window' again in a quiet voice, a shimmering blue window instantly flickered into existence before me.

'...........Is the [Eye of Suggestion] missing?'

Clearly, from my hazy memories, Yun Seong-ho had definitely forcibly inserted a monster's eye into her.

"An inventory... I wonder if there's something like that... Ah, found it."

Below the status window, a window labeled 'Inventory' was shimmering. Quickly tapping it, just as expected, detailed information about the monster eye Yun Seong-ho inserted appeared.

'....Isn't this totally broken?'

'This ability had even better versatility than the one used by the villain from that certain manga who left behind famous lines like 'I will stand atop the heavens,' 'Since when were you under the impression that I wasn't using Kyoka Suigetsu?' and 'Don't use such strong words, it makes you look weak.''

In that manga, illusions couldn't show things that didn't exist, but the Eye of Suggestion could.

Although it can't permanently trap opponents with high Mana in a state of suggestion, the bonus effect raises Mana by 1 rank, so it seems I could easily put early to mid-game villains into a suggestive state without much trouble.

'Yun Sea had this amazing thing and still lost to the Protagonist... No, she must have been resisting even then, lowering its power.'

Assuming she also had abilities of this level like and – whether Yun Sea developed them naturally or through forced experiments, I don't know – the probability of the 2nd-year Protagonist defeating Yun Sea was close to zero.

'She had the skill... but how many experiments did that bastard Yun Seong-ho perform for it to evolve into just so she could survive?'

Usually, skills are enhanced by consuming elixirs that strengthen them, or they evolve into higher-tier skills when used so frequently it's like breathing, increasing the user's understanding of the skill.

Naturally, the higher the rank, the higher the limits... but look at , which evolved into an S-Rank skill as if such things didn't matter.

'Perhaps... the elixirs and monster corpses she consumed, practically force-fed, combined with Yun Sea's will to live, constantly being cut and regenerating as if it were routine, reflected in her understanding and rapidly raised the skill proficiency?'

It doesn't feel particularly good.

'Anyway... now that it's vacation, do I have to return to my family home?'

Students of Raon Academy whose semester has ended are given two choices.

First, return to their family home during the break to rest and come back on the day of the opening ceremony.

Second, simply stay in the dormitory, attend special lectures from professors working during the break, or rest comfortably, spending the vacation there until the semester begins and then attending the Academy again.

'...Honestly, if I let the original story proceed as is, there will be massive casualties.'

The Protagonist and their companions will naturally be safe, but many people will be sacrificed to prove the fact that 'the enemy you defeated was this strong.'

From the Chairman of Raon Academy to the S-Rank heroes who were in the position of helpers to the Protagonist.

"What should I do......"

The moment I sighed while pondering, as if it had been waiting for this exact time, a blue window began to flicker.
