The Retired Hero is an Extra

In a completely different building, a girl with soft brown hair and maroon eyes was looking at the documents in front of her.

"Did Ivan complete the assignment?" she asked, not raising her head from the bunch of documents on her table.

The boy who had just entered suddenly stiffened at the question directed at him.

"Umm, President," he replied nervously, "Actually, uh, I-Ivan said they must be busy with choosing their subjects, so he delayed it."

"Hoh?" The girl looked up, a bit surprised before her lips curled upwards.

"To think Ivan would do that... For what? To protect those...!" The girl's hands trembled slightly, but she took a deep breath to steady herself.

"No, Ivan can't do that. He hates being bothered during his study," she mumbled, appearing to be in thought.

"They probably rejected it and Ivan covered up, yes?" The girl wondered out loud before murmuring, "Yes, that has to be the case!"

"Let's do the meeting tomorrow then," she ordered, a not-so-bright smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

"It's unwise to get in conflicts with them from our side," another figure spoke, one which had remained quiet until now.

"You're right," the girl nodded, "This much was expected, given who's younger siblings they are..."

Her voice trailed off as everyone suddenly felt a bit heavy and cold presence in the room.

"Well, who's to say we can't teach our juniors how to respect their seniors," she muttered, her brows relaxing as a small smile graced her lips.

This all had happened one day prior to the current events where Jash and Ziva were heading to the exchange center.

Jash tried his best to ignore Ziva and her carefree demeanor, focusing on anything else.

Opening the notification once again, he checked the time and location of the meeting.

「Student Council Meeting || Time : 11:45 AM || Portal: Block 1 - Utility Sector」

The Utility Sector was where the Library and all other facilities used by both the professors and students were located.

It also contained the various clubs formed by the students.

'What's with them being so sneaky and only mentioning which portal to take from the Exchange Sector?'

Jash grumbled inwardly, not wanting to go to the meeting, but he had no other choice and they were about to enter the portal.

After exiting the Exchange Sector, they were greeted by an open area lively with the hustle and bustle of students.

Looking around, Jash noticed them leaving and entering the myriad of buildings in sight with some having bright expressions.

'What's so good about talking to friends?' Jash complained, but only observed the stark differences.

He soon noticed some seniors were carrying multiple books in their hands, appearing tired.

On the other hand, Ziva just let him do all the work, following along with a light mood.

Naturally, one's grumbling face and another's carefree quickly attracted a lot of attention.

"Is she that girl?"

"Yeah, his younger sister is so pretty," a girl commented with a crooked look but her friend's sudden squeal surprised her.

"Kyaa~ That guy's younger brother sure is handsome~"

However, just as the nearby students noticed the two of them and whispers about them began being shared, other Student Council students came through.

Their uniforms were similarly different from others like Jash and Ziva's, making them easy to distinguish.

They immediately recognized the two of them and approached.

"The Student Council building is the far one on the left," the Senior said, pointing towards a building which looked more of a mansion than a regular building.

Not just this building, but many of the buildings in this sector resembled luxurious castles, but it didn't really matter much.

Only the Library, which was a huge castle-like building with multiple pillars and engravings on it stood out.

'The rest are quite pale in comparison,' Jash wanted to say that out loud, but he knew better than to get some enemies.

Not that he feared them, it was just annoying, especially the typical young master type idiots.

'They're better off left to the protagonist,' Jash shrugged, walking to the building that was pointed out.

Naturally, no Senior came close to them as no one really bothered anyone from the Student Council.

It would only be a stupid decision as they had the highest authority, even more than some professors.

"So no one's here?" Jash said aloud, noticing the empty lobby after entering the building.

Right then, a Senior appeared out of nowhere and greeted them before guiding them towards the Meeting Hall.

The Meeting Hall was filled with various seats, with most seats on the sides and only a few in the center.

"Please be seated," the senior said respectfully, knowing their status and the two acquiesced.

But Jash's eyes darted around the hall, noticing multiple photos of past Student Council presidents hanging on the walls.

"So extravagant," he commented in a low voice, noticing the chandelier hanging above the center table.

The room was brightly lit, so there was no real need for a chandelier like that.

While waiting for others to show up as the two had arrived nearly fifteen minutes early, Jash couldn't help but close his eyes.

He decided to get some shut-eye instead of looking around this mostly empty Meeting Hall.

And his decision proved to be the correct one as no one showed up in the next ten minutes.

"What a douche," someone muttered upon entering the hall before going silent.

Being from a normal family, the newcomer knew better than to offend anyone from nobility, and Jash and Ziva were fairly noticeable.

But Jash didn't seem to have heard as the boy let out a sigh of relief and sat on his fixed seat.

As time ticked by, the seats were slowly filled in, with only the major personnel being absent.

However, it seemed that not much was left before they arrived as well.

In the common area outside the exchange sector, a group of students clad in student council uniforms walked with a sense of purpose.

Their attire exuded an air of authority and status that couldn't be ignored, commanding the attention of their peers.

Amidst the group, one particular student stood out from the rest.

It was a tall girl with long, flowing brown hair that cascaded down her back in waves, revealing her long ears and identity as an elf.

Her maroon eyes were framed by long brown eyelashes, complementing her looks.

It was none other than Aeris Leaf, the Student Council President.

As Aeris made her way through the common area, students couldn't help but stare in awe of her commanding presence.

Her confident gait and warm smile were enough to put anyone at ease, and she made sure to greet each student she passed with a friendly wave.

Just like her, the other members of the Student Council were attracting attention, especially the Vice President.

Caleb Maxiumus, heir to Marquis Maximus, his presence commanded respect and admiration.

His sharp black eyes coupled with his short ginger hair, and his handsome face accentuated by a strong jawline and chiseled features turned heads his way.

The group finally arrived in the Meeting Hall, where they noticed two first-year students sitting quietly in their seats with many other members of the Student Council.

Aeris only smiled warmly at everyone in reception, confusing the ones who heard her mentioning some sort of punishment to the juniors.

'So we meet, Aeris Leaf,' Jash thought, being face-to-face with the Student Council President.
