The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

234 – Scene 234# Scholarship

*

I’ve been busy recently and forgot about it, but even so, I am the chairman of Maykahell University.

As may be true in reality, the position of president of a university is truly a position of great power. Moreover, I am the head of the Ruelberta family, which is responsible for the university’s finances. So, even if I didn’t come to school, there wasn’t a single person who would say anything.

However, after taking office as chairman, I actively involved in school affairs.

Now I can’t just throw away work with the excuse of being busy.

After going to school for the first time in a long time, I took care of some of the work that had been overdue.

At any rate, all that happened was the final review of the work done by President Mondry, so it was only a good thing… If even this is not done, the meaning of the chairman’s existence will be lost.

But something unexpectedly important happened.

“… “You’re refusing the scholarship I’m giving you?”

“Yes.”

I accepted the list handed to me by Ariel Richet, a female professor with a haughty look. The list contained the names of promising students to whom I had previously decided to provide scholarships.

“Hmm.”

After a quick check, it seems that about half of them rejected the scholarship I gave them.

The reason for the refusal was various reasons, such as family honor or giving it to someone less fortunate than oneself, but they were all good excuses.

In reality, he probably means that he doesn’t want to be indebted to Tristan, the head of the infamous Ruelberta family, even if he dies.

“You sound quite full.”

“Is that so. “I somehow understand.”

Ariel shrugged her shoulders as if laughing at me.

Although his reputation is much better than before, Tristan’s bad reputation has not completely subsided. I’m sure it’s still a bit reluctant.

I’ve put a lot of effort into changing my appearance, but it wasn’t easy to change people’s hearts.

Even if I bow my head, admit my past mistakes, and ask for forgiveness, the mistakes do not go away. Perhaps those who hate me will hate me until they die.

Bang!

At that time, it was Helga next to her who hit the desk with her fist.

“Under! How dare you not take the money the Count gave you? These crazy people just… !”

Ariel pointed out when she saw Helga being upset.

“What a lunatic. “Don’t talk rudely to students.”

“I can’t thank you enough, so what is it if I’m not crazy to insult the Count like this? Yes? Professor Ariel. Would you like to say something?”

“Students also have the right to refuse. “Even if I were a student, I don’t think I would want to receive money that was ruined.”

Ariel said with bitter sarcasm. Considering the grudge she holds against the Ruel Bertha family, it is not impossible for her to show such blatant hostility.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the Ruelberta family’s enormous wealth was not earned in 100% legitimate ways. Casinos that make nobles lose their money knowingly or unknowingly, Gehenna mines that exploit slaves until they die, etc.

She didn’t really sound like an insult because, as Ariel said, she was a dirty money person. She wondered if anything was new to her now, but it didn’t seem to be the case for Helga.

“I’m upset… ? Hehe… That’s a really interesting thing to say. Professor Ariel.”

“I’m just telling the truth, but is it really that interesting?”

“Sure. It’s fun and all. By that logic, you shouldn’t even receive the salary the Count gives you.”

“I guess you don’t know why this school is called national. This school was built by order of His Majesty the Emperor, and of course it belongs to His Majesty. “I receive my salary from His Majesty the Emperor, not from the Chairman.”

“Aha. Is it so? As far as I know, the imperial family’s finances were tight, so most of it was built by borrowing money from the Count’s family. I don’t know how much his handsome majesty contributed to building this school. Is it because it is such a small amount?”

“You! How dare you… !”

“Dare? How dare you? You are the one who is polite to the Count. “How about I teach you the courtesy myself?”

Pajik!

Sparks flew from her body as if Helga was ready to release her magic at any moment.

“Both of you, stop it.”

At this point, I mediated between the two. As if Helga had always been like that at every word I said, she instantly became hostile like a gentle sheep, but she couldn’t feel at ease. Because she was like a time bomb that she didn’t know when it would explode.

I sighed and took action against some students’ refusal of scholarships.

“I can’t help it if the students rejected my scholarship. If you don’t want to receive it, just don’t give it. We just have to follow the regulations.”

“Hmm. It’s like that too.”

“Procedure? Processing?”

Helga was immediately convinced by my words, but Ariel tilted her head, her complexion suddenly turned pale, and she took the list from me.

“No way… Chairman. Are you planning on retaliating against these students?”

“No.”

“Of course.”

Oh, really.

If you do that, you really misunderstand.

“… It’s not obvious. Helga.”

“Then the punishment is…?”

“It’s the same.”

“Then, if it’s just a matter of discipline… ?”

“I don’t allow it. You are not a faculty member of this school.”

“That… ! Are you really saying there is no way I can help the Count!?”

Why not?

If you just keep your mouth shut, you’ll be helping me.

“Helga…”

“Yes! “Just tell me anything!”

“Thirsty. Come get a car.”

“All right! Cut off their heads right now… Mar? Yes? Tea?”

“Okay. Mine is a Le Margazio car. Sugar is one and a half tablespoons.”

“I think the same thing. “Three spoons of sugar.”

“Huh!? Count!”

“Can’t be done.” I have no intention of changing it. Come back quickly.”

“Ugh…! Why this ordeal!”

Ariel sneaks in and orders tea.

However, because it was my order her, Helga glared at Ariel with resentment and eventually went to get in the car.

I spoke as if to appease Ariel, who still had her doubts in her eyes.

“I have no intention of doing anything to these students. Rather, I am just glad. “Thanks to these students taking the lead in refusing scholarships, other students can have the opportunity to receive scholarships.”

“… Is that so?”

“Okay.”

“Hmm…”

After I said this, Ariel let down her guard. However, the response is that it is a bit bland. I think he expected me to burst out in anger.

I’m sorry, but I’m not that kind of person.

“We’ll handle it according to the regulations. You tell it to your students. “If you don’t want the full scholarship I’m giving you, you can pay the full tuition.”

“Yes… Yes? The full amount… Tuition?”

“Okay. Starting next semester, wouldn’t it be okay to receive full tuition like foreigners?”

“Wait a minute, you’re a foreigner…” ” . Chairman. What do you mean by that?”

“Aren’t you saying you won’t receive a single penny of scholarship money from the foundation? Then it makes sense to pay the same tuition as foreign students.”

“Oh?!”

Only then did Ariel realize the meaning of my words and made a sad expression.

It was an easy fact to miss, but despite its national name, Maykahel University’s tuition fees are inherently expensive. This was because they wanted to charge high tuition fees to students coming to study abroad.

On the other hand, all Maykahel Empire citizens receive a significant reduction in tuition upon admission by receiving the ‘Imperial Scholarship.’ In short, privileges given to Koreans.

Needless to say, the Imperial Scholarship comes from a foundation owned by the Ruelberta family.

If you do not receive the Imperial Scholarship until you graduate, you will have to pay a significant amount of money.

I wonder how many of the students on the list I saw earlier will be able to pay that amount.

Looking at Ariel’s pale expression her her, it seems like she didn’t expect that at all. The same would probably apply to students who refused scholarships.

She does not know whether she encouraged her students or whether she was egged on by her students. She may have colluded with the students and wanted to resist me. Perhaps she wanted to show such noble intentions that she would not give in to power.

Well, whatever it was, it ended up being a failure.

“Ariel. Chairman, I am happy. From next semester, there will be more students who will go to school at their own cost without having to resort to me.”

“Ugh… ?!”

In the end, Ariel took her list out of my hands.

“I’m sorry, Chairman. Please give me some time. I’ll talk to the students again…”

“Good night. Because I am merciful.”

I smiled with pride and admired Ariel’s angry face

Then something suddenly occurred to me and I asked.

“So, is Colin participating in the northern expedition?”

“Didn’t I tell you? “I decided to go on a northern expedition instead of my brother.”

“You instead?”

Colin Risuzette, the head of the Rishuzet family, who is one of the pillars of the Seven Stars. She unconsciously frowned at the fact that Ariel was accompanying him to the North.

That’s because in the original work, Colin personally participated in the first northern expedition. Ariel never intervened.

Was there some variable?

Ariel must have misunderstood my serious expression and opened her mouth.

“Why are you doing that? “Are you that displeased with me going?”

“No. I thought Colin, the head of the family, would go.”

“What? It’s not like the head of the family necessarily has to go.”

Well, considering that Bella is going instead of the head of the Isaachel family, Duke Fred.

“By the way, Chairman. Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“I was just curious.”

“I’m really curious too. The reason why the Chairman wants to personally lead the northern expedition. Is it because he was stabbed because of a sin he committed? Or identified destruction of evidence?”

“… Think what you like.”

I decided not to dig too deeply. Did you say it was a scrape? It would not be good if she inadvertently provoked her resentment towards the Ruel Berta family. This is a topic that we want to avoid even more so in schools, which are public places.

When I took a dismissive attitude, Ariel also immediately backed away.

“All right. “I will blame you as much as I want.”

“Hehe. Well, it would be good to at least hold resentment now. When I think about the students who will end up attending school on full scholarships due to the professor’s wrong judgment.”

“You…”

Helga, who must have made tea, came over with a tray filled with tea and refreshments. She must have been listening to the conversation, and unlike before, she looked quite relieved.

“It’s a lot of hardship. Professor Ariel.”

“It’s noisy. “Just pay for the car.”

“Yes yes.”

Helga went into her friendly mode and twirled the teacup. Ariel must have been thirsty so she immediately drank the tea.

“Phew?!”

Ariel just spit out the tea.

“Cluck cluck…” ” ” ! Wow… ! Tea, why does tea taste like this?! “Did you get poisoned?!”

“Oh my goodness. It’s my mistake! “It looks like it was made with salt, not sugar.”

“This person… !”

“Sorry. Still, it won’t be that bad.”

Is this revenge on Ariel?

Looking at Helga speaking as if she were reading a Korean book, it looks like she intentionally used salt instead of sugar.

“You! “Can’t you ride a car straight?!”

“No way. It was a mistake. Relax. Professor.”

To be honest, it was refreshing to see Ariel in pain, frowning all the time. Even though I thought her criticism was inevitable since I knew her situation, I couldn’t look at her favorably when she actually turned against me so openly.

I drank the tea Helga made, thinking to myself that it looked good.

“?!”

And she almost spewed tea like Ariel.

It was so dirty that it felt like I had just drank a bowl of sea water.

Did you really make a mistake?
