I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

As the clouds hovered over the skies, blocking the ambience beams of sunlight from permeating through to the surface of the Academy, the Sun hovered slowly.

It was late afternoon when the Class Prefects of each class had gathered to have their Meeting.

The host of the meeting this time was the Student Body Council, unlike every other occasion that was usually led by the Class Five Gold Monitor and Deputy.

Thalia and Tiffany stood in the presence of the Class Prefects as the atmosphere grew tense and cold.

Partly from the absence of the Sun's light and Mostly from the humidity and cold temperature of the Lecture Theatre interior.

Thalia sighed, as she began

"Shall we proceed with the meeting then?" She said, gaining their rapt attention.

"Um! May I ask why the Student Council is getting involved this time!" A loud, boisterous, masculine voice echoed within the Hall as all attention shifted to him.

Carl Dunham smiled wildly in response to the attention he got due to his question.

"Well, we will get into that in just a minute, but I best tell you some rules before we start," Thalia said, adjusting her glasses as a scowl formed on her face.

Carl shrugged his shoulders and leaned back, his smile remaining fixated while Rita Vinci uncomfortably shifted from him in embarrassment.

"Firstly, if you want to speak, then please, endeavour to raise your hand. This is an academy for students, not animals. So, ensure you do, Mr Carl Dunham". She said with a stern tone in her voice, while the boy chuckled before nodding in reply.

"Will do ma'am" He said.

"Alright then, I'm sure you all know our names by now, but just because of the new students, I will begin by introducing ourselves," Thalia said, her gaze flickering over to Class One.

"I am the Treasurer, Thalia Jun….and here with me is Tiffany Kane, the Secretary of the Student Body Council"

Her words came like a lightning bolt to the First years, who glanced at Raph in bewilderment while he smiled from ear to ear at their reaction.

'What can I say? The Jun's are well vested in leading the masses, ' He thought with a satisfied nod.

He could recall his eldest sister Gloria going for the president position during her time and winning, while Fiona became her Vice.

The following year, Fiona simply took over as president, and their tenures were always one of the best and most peaceful.

'Though Rebecca isn't the type to take Political positions, I'm sure Phestus convinced her otherwise, and their tenure would be as smooth as the others'. He was well convinced of this.

"Then, we should begin by stating our reports, has there been any issue with classes, perhaps the lecturers as well?" Thalia asked, grabbing the attention of the Class One Prefects, who had been staring at Raph in bewilderment.

"Lecturer Katherin is at it again" Mart Thrombone spoke up next.

'At it again?' Raph thought in confusion as they turned their attention towards the green-haired bulky man. '....He's huge….and he looks familiar'.

Raph squinted his eyes while his brain worked in overdrive, trying to recall where he last saw his face, and then it slapped him right in the face.

'He's one of the minions that was with Bruno five years ago'.

Raph thought in shock, remembering how Bruno and four others walked up to them, in a sorry attempt in trying to bully Phestus.

He glanced at him and then at Bruno. 'Damn….the turntables'.

"Can you elaborate?" Thalia asked with a raised brow.

"I have brought this up over and over again, but the professors are acting weird, and so are the Lecturers.

Professor Katherine is attempting to do something within the academy and we need to stop it!"

Thalia sighed, rubbing her temples slowly. "...Um, Mr. Mart, we already heard you 'over and over again' and we told you each time you told us" She stared him dead in the eye. "Where is your proof?"

Mart simply flinched, but he remained composed. His expression, though, was a mix of annoyance and suppressed rag,e, as if he was ready to burst out at any given moment. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"We, the Council, are not blind," Thalia said. "But we can not make a biased judgment without evidence. Get the evidence, and then we have something to work on".

Mart sighed. "There's no point in talking about a festival that could be ruined by the Professors. They pose a threat to us" – "You mean a threat to Non-system users"

Thalia cut him off with a sharp tone in her voice and the tension only rose afterwards.

Some Class Prefects sighed as well, while others had a humorous expression etched on their faces.

Thalia noticed them all. She could see, quite evidently, the suppressed feelings that they thought could be well hidden.

'We know' She thought. 'We know what is going on in the Academy. Some of the Professors and lecturers are secretly recruiting System users. For what purpose? We do not know, and do we have proof? No, we don't. She sighed. 'They hide their traces so well that even Rebecca is unable to pinpoint these people'.

"I may have a solution".

Everyone's attention was grabbed by the unsuspecting, calm and collected voice of Raph, whose hand was raised high in the air. Their expressions exuded intriguement and curiosity.

"Though, we may have to have another meeting for that" He added with a chuckle as his gaze met Thalia's. They stared at each other for a while, before she sighed and continued.

"Enough of the nonsense, Raffaelo Jun. You are merely a Class One student. You don't have as much experience as the rest of us, so it would be best for you to find your proof before you claim to have a solution". She said with a stern tone in her voice while the others simply listened in surprise.

Raph simply nodded. "Yes, Ma'am".

"Then, we shall proceed with the main goal of the day since there have been no actual reports".

"I may have one!" Ruth Balsey spoke up next, and her tone was not at all polite.

The other Prefects clicked their tongues, or at least some of them did, the others just found this amusing.

"Oi. Kiddo, just because we let one of you talk doesn't mean we'll let the rest of you talk". Jeremy said with an annoyed tone in his voice.

"Oh, don't be mean to them. They're just exercising their right" Cynthia said with a giggle.

"Right? What right do a bunch of younglings know anyway?" Markinje said with a click of his tongue.

"Hah, I wouldn't say all of them are younglings". Cynthia giggled while she turned towards Markinje.

"Yeah, I think Raph would be much of a fighter than you," Yaya said to Cristopher while the latter stared at a particular girl the whole time.

"Take that back". He said, snapping to the present from her taunts.

And in the next, what? 5 to 10 seconds later, the class became rowdy. Their loud voices and laughter were enough to drive any Lecturer in charge to the verge of madness.

'Yeesh. It's noisier than last time' Raph thought while his gaze remained on Thalia. 'Oh, they are biting much more than they can chew'.

"Silence!" Thalia's voice pierced through the wall, reverberating within the Hall and shutting off all voices.

Their gazes flickered as they returned to their posture, calming the urge to retaliate.

Thalia sighed after what seemed like ten seconds and then turned towards Ruth, who jerked in fear at the sight of the Treasurer's stern gaze.

"What is it, Ruth Balsey? And if you speak without raising your hand first. Then there will be a new Class One Silver Deputy".

Raph could hear the girl gulp, and she didn't seem to be the only one startled.

Alicia had been seated next to him, and he had brought it upon himself to observe her reactions throughout the meeting.

"It–It's regarding Raffaelo Jun's tyranny over Class One" Ruth replied, withholding the urge to pee herself in fear of her gaze.

A moment of silence descended upon the Classroom, followed by loud sighs and clicking of tongues.

"If I ever got a gold coin for the number of Students that have complained about the Jun's strength" Cynthia said with a loud giggle. "Remember when Mart wanted to challenge Rebecca?" She giggled further. "Damn, did he get his ass whooped…..literally".

Mart sighed in designation while Bruno clicked his tongue. "Oh yeah, Markinje did the same, and he got his ass whooped twice as hard". He snapped in annoyance.

"Well, yes, that was my mistake". Markinje said with a low tone while he hid his face in embarrassment.

"Don't worry about that; no one remembers it anyway" Cynthia said while she petted the boy.

Ruth stared at her senior's reactions in shock, her eyes flickering in disbelief, while Monica, sitting next to her, simply stayed in her position, her body tense with emotions.

Thalia sighed as she looked over to Ruth.

"If you have any issues with him, then ask for a duel. There's nothing wrong with beating up tyrants right? It would be wonderful if you could beat him for me too.

His haughtiness precedes him".

Raph chuckled in his seat. 'Oh, come on, sister'.

Ruth blinked furiously as she glanced between Thalia and the whole Class, her head making sense of it all. 'Enh?'.
