◈ Reincarnated as the Villain's Heir
Chapter 33: An Invitation to the Student Council? Of Course I Refuse
──────
After school, as I walked down the hallway, a strange presence kept following me.
I deliberately kept walking without turning around.
Even so, the strange presence not only followed, it actually came closer.
I thought about ignoring it thoroughly, but finally, it was close enough that I could feel its breath.
After walking quickly, I suddenly stopped.
"Igyan!"
"What do you want?"
Lilisha had bumped her nose into my stopped back.
"You did not have to stop all of a sudden!"
"When something like a ghost following from behind keeps stalking me, of course I want to harass it. What do you want?"
"Nothing. My destination just happens to be the same as yours."
"I see. Then there is no problem."
I kept walking and entered the men's restroom.
Seeing Lilisha almost follow me in, I laughed.
"W-wait! Why are you suddenly going somewhere like that?!"
"What is wrong with a man entering the men's restroom? This is your destination too, right?"
"I-idiot!"
Lilisha's face turned red, and she ran away.
Ever since my duel with her, she had been clinging to me like this.
My daily routine had become shaking her off or luring her into traps, and at the end, Luchel would stick out her tongue and see her off.
"She really is persistent. I wonder how frustrated she is."
"Mufufu, what a cute girl. Alphys, how about her?"
"What are you talking about?"
Hiyori asked me meaningfully.
"For the strong, keeping one or two women at their side is the way of the world. They also say heroes love beauty."
"Stupid. If I have time to lose myself in that nonsense, I would rather train."
"So he says, Luchel."
For some reason, Hiyori tossed that to Luchel.
Luchel puffed out her cheeks and stamped her feet.

The next day, I was called by the student council.
I did not remember doing anything in particular, but could it be about shaking off the stalking woman who kept stalking me?
No, probably not. But luring her toward the men's restroom might have been fairly out.
"It is Alphys."
"Enter."
When I entered the student council officers' room, upperclassmen were lined up in their seats.
Their positions and names were written on the table, which made it easy to understand.
The room looked like the meeting room of a secret society, with the third-year president and vice president seated at the far side of the round table.
To their left and right were the treasurer, secretary, and publicity officer. Near the front were the executive division members.
"Alphys, nice to meet you. I am Clyde, the student council president. Welcome to the student council."
"What do you want?"
"You do not flinch even after seeing such an impressive lineup of student council members. As expected of a member of House Balfont."
"Impressive, huh?"
Student council president Clyde Eesban.
He was a third-year at Royal Sailrand Academy, the son of a duke, and the current top student in ability.
He was handsome and had many female fans. It was said that more than half the girls in his year were in love with him.
Basically, the common perfect boy type.
At this point, in terms of strength, no one other than Clyde and the third-years was worth discussing.
When it came to the second-years, they were not much different from Deniro.
Actually, if Deniro had behaved seriously, he had enough ability to enter the student council.
With that fact in mind, being told this was an impressive lineup did not give me much of a sense of danger.
Well, if Clyde and everyone else attacked me at once, I might finally think it was dangerous.
Compared to Big Brother Vaid and Big Sister Mirei of House Balfont, whom I currently could not beat no matter what, they inevitably looked inferior.
"Hey, aren't you acting a little too relaxed?"
"Gareo, it is fine. He is special."
"President Clyde, if a kid like this looks down on me, I cannot keep face as the top of the second-year executive division."
"Gareo, this conversation will not progress. Could you stay quiet?"
Clyde restrained Gareo and made him shut up. As expected, he had presence.
"The reason I called you today is Lilisha, who is standing there. Thank you for stopping her rampage. At that rate, we would have had to consider removal from the rolls and suspension."
"It is not enough to thank me for. Lilisha has promise."
When I glanced at Lilisha, she obviously turned her face away.
Even though she had been stalking me so much.
"There is one more reason I called you here. I wanted to invite you to the student council. Despite ranking high on the entrance exam, I hear you refused to join. Why?"
"I am not interested. The student council is completely unnecessary in my life."
When I said that much, Gareo from the second-year executive division slammed the table.
With an appearance that brought a wild child to mind, he bared his teeth and threatened me.
"Listen to you running your mouth... You do not know how to speak to upperclassmen."
"Do I need to respect someone unconditionally because he is an upperclassman? Do you have even one thing I can respect?"
"Do not run your mouth so shamelessly, lower-year trash!"
"President, can you shut him up? The conversation is not moving, and if this continues, I am going home."
Clyde soothed Gareo and made him quiet.
Even so, Gareo did not try to hide his ferocity and kept me locked on.
"I looked at your grades. On the entrance exam, you placed third overall, and in practical skills, you were first. With this much ability, is there a reason you refused to join the student council?"
"It is unnecessary in my life. There is no one I need to impress by showing off student council membership."
"I see. If you joined us, I was even considering you as a future president."
No thank you.
What would being king of the hill at a mere academy accomplish?
They could leave that to someone who was good at studying.
It was not that I was bad at studying, but since there was no need for me to do it, I only studied enough for the written exam to pass.
The exam was a part never shown in the game, and the general subject questions were normally difficult.
Incidentally, first place was Lilisha. Leticia, on the other hand, looked like that but was quite an idiot, and her written exam score should have been barely passing.
"If I must give up on bringing you into the student council, then could you at least accept a request from us?"
It was a sudden request, but sometimes I needed to earn experience points from this kind of thing.
There was no point in crushing only weaklings forever.
