Bonus chapter thanks to @frozendeagon and @Talosfanboy for subscription to 'Eye of Arrogance' tier on Ko-fi.

A terrible hunger gnawed at me.

How did things turn out like this?

I had been trying hard to find the dormitory cafeteria, but in the end, I was too late and had to skip breakfast.

The homeroom period began in such a state.

“Good morning, everyone!”

Idea greeted the students with a bright smile.

The students also greeted Idea one by one, and I thought the class was about to begin.

“Today, we will elect a class president during homeroom period!”

Idea’s bombshell announcement exploded.

So suddenly?

The other students must have felt the same way I did because murmurs could be heard here and there.

Idea continued her explanation, not paying any attention to it.

She really is a self-centered woman.

That was when I clicked my tongue inwardly.

“Hoo hoo.”

Suddenly, an unpleasant laugh came from behind me.

I turned my head and saw Fron with her ears perked up.

For some reason, she looked very excited.

Perhaps she was picturing herself as the class president, leading the students.

I agree that she is the most likely candidate to become the class president.

The two most important factors for becoming a leader of a group are ‘charisma’ and ‘ability’, right?

As the daughter of a family representing lust, Fron had the best appearance and a bright personality to match.

Her weakness was that she was vulnerable in one-on-one situations, but if she became the leader of the group, even that weakness would be filled.

In this respect, Fron was the perfect candidate.

She does have the weakness of being a little less intelligent.

‘In the original story, Fron was the one who led this class, so…….’

The class president will be Fron after all.

The next candidate after her would be Samuel, but I didn’t think he would be able to lead the class well.

What kind of class president would a guy who shows his killing intent when he is displeased?

It would be fortunate if he didn’t cause any unnecessary accidents.

- As expected, Lady Fron will become the class president.

- Don’t you think so?

The students’ opinions were also flowing in the direction that Fron was suitable for the role of class president.

Samuel’s name was mentioned occasionally, but his opinion was soon ignored.

There was another name that came up next.

- What about Adel?

- He seems to have something going on.

My shoulders twitched.

I chuckled to myself.

‘Looks like my performance in the first class wasn’t bad.’

I had passed the first class in one go, surpassing Idea’s soldiers.

Along with the other students, both Samuel and Fron had failed.

So, naturally, my image had solidified as someone capable.

However, there was also an opposing opinion.

- How can a half-breed be the class president?

- Fron is the right choice.

Several students brought up the fact that I was a half-breed.

It was a reaction I had somewhat expected, so I scratched my head.

The animosity the Demon had for half-breeds was beyond imagination.

If I were to become the class president, there would surely be a strong backlash.

‘I should yield the class president position.’

I wasn’t particularly disappointed.

I hadn’t expected it in the first place.

Rather, I should be grateful that the students’ evaluation of me had changed from a simply sinister guy to a guy with some skills.

As I was making an ambiguous smile, a student asked Fron a question.

“By the way, do you know what the class president does?”

“Ha, as if I wouldn’t know that?”

Fron burst into hollow laughter as if she were amused and answered confidently.

“The king of this class!”

“…….”

The student who had asked Fron made a complicated expression and turned her head away.

I, who understood that student’s feelings all too well, also looked at her with a complicated gaze.

Can we really entrust the future of the class to that woman…….

As I hung my head and imagined a bleak future.

“How do we choose the class president?”

A student asked Idea.

“Hmm……”

Idea seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before crossing her arms and speaking.

“I was going to have the students who applied for the position vote, but is there really a need to do that?”

It meant that she already had a student in mind for the class president position.

Naturally, the students’ gazes turned to Fron.

I also glanced at Fron.

The situation where she had already been decided on,

Samuel, who could be considered my only rival, seemed to have no chance of winning.

“Hoohoo, you’ve thought well, Instructor.”

“Yes? No, why is a student using…….”

“There’s no need to be shy! Let’s lead the class well together from now on.”

Idea made a dumbfounded expression.

Watching Fron, who was getting excited, I felt like my soul was leaving my body.

Idea sighed once and opened her mouth.

"The class president isn't you."

"Wha...?!"

Fron's eyes widened.

Idea ignored her and turned her head with a mischievous smile.

For some reason, her gaze gradually...

...moved closer to me.

Eventually, Idea met my gaze and opened her mouth.

"The class president is Adel."
