I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With

Episode 37 – A freshman who is suspiciously favored by the president (2)

After receiving the president’s call message, I left the dormitory and headed to the document tower.

The Document Tower was located not far from the dormitory, so I was able to enter the Document Tower without much difficulty.

After entering the document tower, I took the elevator to the top floor like Shannon did.

The elevator gently lifted me up to the top floor without making any sound, and I stood in front of the door of the president’s office and knocked on the door.

“President. It’s pathos. “Can I come in?”

“Oh, please come in.”

When I knocked on the door and asked if I could come in, I heard the president’s voice telling me to come in from inside the president’s office.

I opened the door to the president’s office and entered, and unlike when I visited this morning, the inside of the president’s office was very neatly organized.

“Welcome. Pathos. Would you like me to come and sit here?”

Unlike his first meeting a few hours ago, the president was speaking very softly.

The arrogant appearance of a young girl that I felt when I first met her suddenly disappeared.

Now she is a mature woman with a sense of elegance.

Probably, I expect him to be older than me.

“Yes, President.”

I followed the president’s recommendation and sat on the sofa across from her right.

“Now, shall we have a cup of tea and talk?”

The president offered me a cup of warm steaming tea as I sat down on the sofa.

“Ah… thank you.”

Then, as I picked up the teacup, she personally pushed the plate with cookies on it in front of me.

“First of all, I want to say thank you.”

“Are you saying thank you?”

“I think you’ll understand if I remember the first time I met Pathos-kun.”

“Ah.”

I felt like I knew what the president was trying to say.

Obviously, my first impression of her was that she was a young girl who looked like she had just graduated from elementary school.

Because she looked like a young girl trying to imitate an adult, I thought she was a wizard who appeared in creative works but was older but had the body of a child due to stunted growth.

But it turns out that I took the elixir of rejuvenation, but it had a side effect that made me look too young, and I can say that I fixed that.

“Actually, I just covered up the side effects of the elixir of rejuvenation because I couldn’t bear to reveal the truth.”

“So, are you saying there was some other cause other than a side effect?”

I looked at the president and asked a question to hear what happened.

“That’s right. “The elixir of rejuvenation was correct, but the problem was that the elixir was cursed.”

“Are you talking about a curse?”

Curse? Did you know that the medicine was cursed and still drink it?

“That’s right. “It was a very dark and dangerous curse that even I, as an archmage, could only discover after taking the elixir.”

He further explained that there was no problem with the elixir itself.

However, the place where the elixir was stored was also a place where unclean energy gathered, and during the fight with the demon corps commander who was guarding the warehouse where the elixir was stored at the time, numerous curses were prevented, and in the process, the curse would have been embedded in the elixir. It was the president’s opinion.

“But, an archmage of your level didn’t notice that.”

I didn’t understand what she said.

She is a great archmage who sealed away the evil dragon Neverander.

An archmage with that level of skill didn’t notice that the elixir was cursed?

“No matter how good your skills are, there are times when it is difficult to make rational decisions because you are blinded by greed.”

“Hmm.”

I could only nod my head as the president continued his explanation.

Of course, if that is the reason, it is understandable.

No matter how wise a person is, when something seems to be of great benefit to him or her, his/her eyes will turn once or twice.

“It was a curse so severe that even though my friend at the time, ‘Saint’ Margaret, did her best, the curse did not go away. As a result, I couldn’t leave the president’s office for a long time.”

“Are you okay now?”

I was curious about the president’s health condition.

It is believed that her survival is related to the unsealing of the evil Neverander, so taking care of her health was the top priority right now.

“hehehe, it’s okay now. “In fact, I feel like I have become much stronger than before taking the elixir.”

I had no idea what to say to the president.

No, you didn’t just heal your cursed body, you became stronger?

I didn’t hear from Epirina that one of my abilities is an enhancement ability.

“You are truly amazing. “If you’ve become stronger than before, wouldn’t you be the strongest wizard in the empire?”

“Probably so, right?”

And then she smiled infinitely kindly at me.

“Originally, as Bergen said, we intended to provide Pathos with all the benefits that could be provided at the academy level. However, since you have completely healed my body, I will personally benefit you as well.”

“But, with other students… no.”

I thought about fairness with others in the benefits promised by Prime Minister Bergen and the benefits the president personally decided to provide.

But I thought there was no reason to consider fairness with other people.

Why? In the first place, I was someone who could graduate from the academy without having to take exams or do assignments.

In other words, I was eligible to receive this benefit simply by attending the academy and becoming a member of the Gelevrio Empire after graduation.

I didn’t ask for that level of benefit, and they said they would give it to me, but what idiot kicks it away and starts life on hard mode?

I want to live as thinly and long as possible, so I was planning on taking whatever benefits someone offered me.

“Don’t think about fairness with other students. In the first place, Glesius Academy was a higher education institution designed to educate talent. In other words, it is right to provide all benefits to ability users first.”

Then she picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued talking again.

“Shall we put it in an extreme way? The number of power users around the world is increasing tremendously right now. It is reported that the number of users of the ability, which used to be around 50 to 100 at most per generation, will already be close to 300 by this year alone. “Do you know what that means?”

“I don’t know.”

“Okay, it’s okay. You may not know. If you don’t know, feel free to ask. Because Pathos-kun deserves it. Anyway, big things always happen when a lot of ability users appear. “Something like an attack by a demon corps leader, or an approaching disaster or catastrophe that would be difficult to prevent with human power.”

I sat quietly and listened to what she said.

“To conclude, sooner or later, great chaos and crisis will come to this world. The fact that there are 300 ability users means that the coming crisis will be incredibly difficult and dangerous. “It is incomparable to any danger from the past.”

Listening to the president’s words, I feel like there is a real danger coming to this world.

Well, even in Erasto Chronicle, NPCs would say in passing, ‘Seeing so many ability users appear, it seems like something dangerous is about to happen.’

I guessed it to some extent from the fact that my favorite heroine, ‘Mina Endras’, attends Glessius Academy.

However, it seems inevitable that the analysis made by the president of the Glesius Academy, who has lived in this world for much longer than me, seems to have a much more sense of crisis than I expected.

“So, what can I do while attending the academy?”

“Build relationships with as many ability users as possible and become friendly with them. “You are already of a status equivalent to a noble, so you will be able to become friends with nobles.”

“But wouldn’t there be some people who would object to me receiving special benefits?”

“What are you afraid of? The background is for use in situations like this. The prime minister and second-in-command of the Gelevrio Empire. And I, the number one person at Glessius Academy, the president, have your strong background, so who should you be afraid of?”

So, what I am saying is that I now have a frightening background in the form of the Chancellor of the Empire and the President of the Academy.

‘If you look at the military, it means that it has the Chief of Staff and the Prime Minister at its back.’

I realized how great and terrible I was leaving behind.

“Oh, and don’t worry about class. Pathos was originally admitted through special admissions, so he can go around freely. Class? If you want to listen, listen. If you don’t want to listen, you don’t have to listen. You don’t have to submit assignments or take tests. In addition, a separate dignity maintenance fee is paid, and if something happens that requires spending a lot of money, they come to me. “I will give you the money without any conditions.”

In other words, I can do nothing here and just play and eat like Hanryang.

This is complete nonsense?

“And, for the safety of Pathos-kun, I will provide an escort. Raina? “Would you like to come in?”

They even say they will provide an escort.

The president called someone’s name, and soon the door to the president’s office opened and a woman who appeared to be around the same age as me appeared.
