Seducing the Student Council President - Seducing the Student Council President chapter 96

14. School Festival – 07

‘It’s interesting.’

Claire’s mother looked closely at the back of a young man who was guiding her with a somewhat dumbfounded and at the same time somewhat bewildered expression, as if she was really interested.

‘I was thinking that there must be something because my daughter is a child who cares so much, but… This is beyond my expectations.’

Although Jin couldn’t see because he had no eyes on the back of his head, Claire’s mother was now looking at him with the eyes of a wolf, as if she were witnessing a flock of sheep in the middle of the meadow.

It’s been a long time since I felt like this. He thought that he had learned and practiced magic since he was very young, and that he had detached himself from almost everything that made up worldly affairs.

And what stimulated her desire was the man Claire had in mind, the most valuable and precious treasure among Mascarena’s possessions?

In fact, Claire’s mother never expected this to happen when she enrolled her daughter in Nineveh.

The reason why her husband and head of the Mascarena family had enrolled Claire in Nineveh was simple indeed.

This is because, if there is a child who will succeed the Mascarena family, there was a commandment of the ancestors to enroll them in Nineveh unconditionally.

Well, in fact, for her, the old and musty teachings of her ancestors were not at all a consideration.

Like all members of the Mascarena family, she is also a wizard.

And to a wizard, the past is not something to be admired, respected, and deeply worshiped, but rather something to be laughed at and finally overcome.

But even if it wasn’t for the teachings of her ancestors, it is clear that she would have had her daughter enrolled in Nineveh at any cost.

It wasn’t because she was her own daughter, but because her daughter was truly a genius among geniuses.

She was able to sense the magic in the air even before she could walk, and learned to rearrange and tune it even before she could speak. She is her own daughter, but she is a truly monstrous child.

And so smart, and so clever, he is also an unfortunate child who learns not so much magic as learning how to blend in with others so that others won’t despise the foreign substance he is.

That is why Claire’s mother decided to send her daughter to Nineveh.

In Nineveh, where talented people from all over the empire gather, he had an expectation that his daughter would be able to become one of the ordinary students.

And, unfortunately, her expectations were only half right.

As she had hoped, there were some children in Nineveh with talents comparable to Claire’s, which made Claire seem relatively normal.

But at the same time, it was proven that no one in the world could surpass Claire in the field of ‘magic’.

From the point of view of the wife of Mascarena, Claire’s existence was indeed a blessing, but from the point of view of a mother of a child, it was truly a worry.

Her daughter lives in the same world as them, but at the same time sees the world from a completely different perspective.

Although she learned how to blend in with others casually like a chameleon and was receiving good reviews from those around her, in the end, it was just acting, not Claire’s true intentions.

And even though acting can imitate the real thing, ultimately it cannot be the real thing itself.

In the end, her daughter may end her life without ever meeting a companion who truly understands her—

That moment when Claire’s mother’s breast was gripped tightly by an uneasiness that wasn’t that kind of anxiety.

Finally, my daughter had someone close to her.

A man who truly deserves to be by her daughter’s side, not just by being by Claire’s ‘friend’ or understanding based on trivial sympathy.

On the outside, he seems to be gentle and embraces others without limit, but in reality, Claire, who is afraid of being hurt in relationships with others and wholly relies on her family, is a man she cares about so much.

As a mother of a daughter, there was no way she wouldn’t be interested in such a man.

That’s why I ran all the way here as soon as Nineveh was open to the public during the school festival.

However, her prospective son-in-law, whom she actually met face-to-face… She was a much more interesting character than she had long expected.

‘Having two souls in one body?’

At first, I didn’t notice because it was so secretive and there was almost no sign, but I could definitely feel it when I had a conversation with him face to face.

The fact that at present, in the space of his image, another soul, obviously different from the essence, is taking place.

It was so secretive that she probably wouldn’t have noticed it unless she had specialized in mind and soul related magic.

‘How on earth?’

Originally, putting two or more souls in one body is an act equivalent to prohibition of alcohol. Regardless of whether it is possible or impossible, the original human body was made up of a structure that made it impossible to contain more than one soul.

Of course, as there are spiritualists specializing in necromantics, it was commonplace to possess someone else’s soul into one’s own body, but the situation of the prospective son-in-law now was on a different level from that of such a low level.

The spirit is a kind of superpower that minimizes the side effect of having two souls in one body and maximizes its spiritual power.

But as far as she knew, it was impossible for any magician in the world to have a soul so naturally.

‘That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to read information through mental waves… ‘

She is a high-level wizard who is unmatched in the realm of ‘spirit’.

Even a decent human being, or even a strong person who reached a certain level, was confident in reading the leaking mental waves and acquiring information, but unfortunately, the prospective son-in-law’s mental barrier was something she had never experienced before.

The mental barrier was so strong that I couldn’t find even the tiniest crack to sneak through.

That’s why it’s intriguing. Isn’t a proper secret from ancient times a condiment that makes the opposite sex more attractive and interesting?

The only man her daughter, who was aloof from the world and seemed to disappear at any moment, was interested in, a man who had two souls in one body and a mental barrier she had never experienced before.

In addition, from what I’ve had conversations with, there is no such thing as a bad personality, and it seems like a person who respectfully respects the future mother-in-law…

pass Claire’s mother only liked the prospective son-in-law in front of her.

Then, there is only one gateway left.

Wouldn’t that be to get rid of the other women who were said to be shimmering by his side and make his daughter the final winner?

She suddenly remembered what happened when she and Claire communicated a few days ago.

[…] mom. I’m saying this because I’m really concerned, but if you ever meet Jin, don’t ever say anything strange to him.]

[Yes? What else do you mean? our daughter?]

[No, because of my mother’s personality, if I ever run into Jin, I feel like I’m going to ask Jin a strange question. For example, who is the type of woman you like, who is the woman you are currently dating, are you looking at me as a woman, etc.

[…] … .]

Her only daughter was too piercing into her character.

[I didn’t mean to stop him if I did anything, but asking him that kind of question now is counterproductive. There are already so many competitors around, but if you ask such a question, your score might be lowered.]

She tilted her head as she looked at the truly rare sight of her daughter, who always had a relaxed smile, grunting and tearing up.

[competitor? Could it be that you were spying on a man who already has an owner?]

[…] no. There is no such thing as a master yet. However, I’m just worried that there might be an owner sooner or later.]

[Are you talking about Princess Pendragon and Lady Serias?]

[…] yes.]

She, too, had already heard the story many times from Claire.

It is said that her prospective son-in-law has a special talent for closing the distance with women, and has already had relationships with many women, and has been in extremely close relationships with some of them.

And among them, it seemed that he had an unusual relationship with Princess Pendragon and Lady Serias.

[I’ve never thought about being inferior to others anywhere, but I’m not as confident in front of those two. Because the two of them are nobler and even more special than any other woman.]

Little Princess Pendragon is a woman whose mate cannot be found throughout the entire empire, and Lady Serias is also one step behind her, but she is also a noble woman from a prestigious family.

Aren’t they also possessors of talent that, in a sense, even overwhelms Claire, who reached the level of a master at the age of just a teenager?

And decisively, those two are warriors.

Like Jin, a warrior who wields a sword and polishes his martial arts throughout his life.

But Claire is a wizard. She belongs to the category of a scholar who learns and masters the science of magic rather than cultivating martial arts.

In other words, it meant that Claire, unlike Erekaya or Altina, had only a very narrow area to share with Jin.

No matter how hard Claire tried to get closer to him and understand him, Erekaya and Altina wouldn’t be able to meet him sword to face.

Because warriors and wizards are essentially different beings, and it was really difficult for them to understand each other.

[…] anxious Kaya is building memories by participating in student council activities together with Jin, and Altina always monopolizes Jin after school and spends time together.]

[By the way, what about me? I have nothing. At most, I can only share something with Jin during mealtime, which they threw as if they were enemies.]

[…] It’s my first time. For the first time, I have something I want. I thought I wanted to be with someone. I had the desire to share everything that makes up a woman.]

[So mom, please don’t interfere. this is my fight It’s a fight I must bear. I have thoughts too, so don’t step out and interfere. never.]

Claire begged her to do so, as if to scold her, but Claire’s mother only thought that her daughter was too foolish.

They know the gulf between themselves and their enemies, and they know that this situation cannot be reversed by any means.

But in this situation, is there still room to cover means and methods? Could it be that her daughter is thinking of this situation as a duel between fair knights?

Not like that. This is a fight, not a duel. There were no fair rules from the beginning, and only the victor could claim the sweet fruit, a fight in the bloody muddy mud between the hyena and the wildcat.

However, there is something his daughter asked for, so it’s a little bit silly to openly interfere in this situation. And as an adult, it wouldn’t be a very elegant sight to have an argument with blue-eyed kids my daughter’s age.

‘But, I can’t stay still like this.’

As long as dirt got in her eyes, she couldn’t see Claire crying.

He didn’t have the confidence to open his eyes and see the devastated sight of another woman in his arms, as if he were a loser.

To see things like that, I’d rather do what I have to do right here and now, even if it means hearing a few words of resentment from Claire later.

I thought about it for a long time, but the decision was made in an instant.

Having made up her mind, she lightly turned to face Count Serias and Altina, who were approaching her and her prospective son-in-law from the other side.

“… Mrs. Mascarena.”

“Count Serias. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. therefore… Isn’t it almost the first time since the tournament at the imperial palace a few years ago?”

“exactly. To be honest, I was surprised. I can’t imagine that my wife, who doesn’t like going out, would attend the school festival in Nineveh.”

“I am also the mother of a daughter, so I am just doing what I have to do.”

Leaving her answering in a soft tone, Count Serias glanced back at Altina who was beside him as if he had now remembered.

“Come to think of it, I think the greeting was late. We may have met each other face-to-face a few times, but I will take this opportunity to introduce myself formally. This is my daughter-in-law, Claire’s daughter-“

“Ah, I know that too. Lady Altina von Rudel Serias. Claire’s close friend and at the same time… ”

Saying that, she pointed to Jin, who had not yet grasped the situation going on beside her, and smiled softly.

“Aren’t you the lady who stands between our Jin here and our close ‘friends’?”
