I was Reincarnated as the Youngest Child of a Villainous Noble Family Who Controls the Kingdom from Behind the Scenes

"That's enough from the Student Council Executive Committee."

What I, Lilysha, found was a student who had brought a hamaki (a type of Japanese tobacco) into the school.

The Student Council Executive Committee is an organization that maintains order within the school and is granted authority second only to the teachers.

Not just anyone can join.

For first-year students, they must be within the top five in the entrance exam results.

It doesn't matter if they're nobles or commoners.

The committee is formed under a strict meritocracy.

It's unthinkable for someone from the Persifam family not to join the student council.

Protecting the order and peace of the nation is the duty of our Persifam family, and the school is no exception.

My father and mother would surely praise me for this.

On the other hand, it seems that Alphiss , despite achieving top grades, did not join the student council.

There are rumors among the nobles that the Barfont family is the one maintaining the kingdom's order, but it seems that's just a baseless rumor.

If he truly had such an important role, there's no way  he wouldn't join the student council.

It seems the Barfont family is just that insignificant.

Just thinking about Alphise's face makes my blood boil.

I vented my irritation by cornering a male student who had broken school rules.

"P-please let me off this time. I won't bring it in again."

"One penalty point added. Three points will get you a suspension, and five points will lead to expulsion. You already have two points. You've got quite the nerve for a new student."

"If my father finds out, I'll be kicked out of the house. I'm the future head of the family, you know?"

"A noble who only cares about self-preservation... How pathetic."

My words must have struck a nerve, as the male student glared at me.

"What's with you... You lost to Alphise and were crying about it..."

"...What did you say?"

"You didn't know? It's famous among the first years. The young lady of the Persifam family lost to the son of the Barfont family."

"...I see."

Something inside me snapped.

My magically enhanced fist grazed the male student's face.

His cheek was slightly cut, and blood seeped out.

"W-what are you doing!?"

"Who lost? Can you beat me?"

"No one said that... Oww! L-let go of me! Oww!"

I grabbed the male student's shoulder and applied pressure.

A little more force, and I could crush his bones.

Given my level of magical enhancement, I can't see why I would be inferior to thatAlphiss .

Alphiss 's magical enhancement should be the same.

But that Alphise—

—Your magical energy is well-refined, but there's a bit too much waste.

—You're trying too hard, and your fireball is too big.

"Don't mess with me..."

—It's like the pressure of the Persifam family.

"Not a chance!"

"GYAAAAHHH!"

I focused my strength, and my fingers dug into the male student's shoulder.

The screaming student writhed in pain.

"Ow ow ow ow! Daddyyyy!"

"...Hmph."

I left him there and walked away.

The Student Council Executive Committee allows for a certain degree of force.

Besides, no one would sympathize with a lower noble whose name I've never even heard.

"Alphiss Barfont... I will never forgive you."

The flames of determination burned fiercely within me.

" Alphiss-sama ,  it seems a first-year student was injured by the Student Council Executive Committee."

"Is that so?"

During lunch, I was eating a handmade bento that Lushiel had made, which looked like a five-story pagoda.

While I was worried if I could finish it, I wasn't particularly interested in the story.

Some random student getting injured doesn't affect me.

"That Student Council Executive Committee member is Lilysha."

"So she's in the Student Council Executive Committee. Fits her perfectly."

"But Lord Alphiss , is that okay? She's taking over your job."

"It's fine. I have no intention of dealing with school rule violators anyway."

Lushiel misunderstood, but I have no intention of forcing myself to do any work.

If it's out of sight, it's out of mind. It's just easier that way.

I'm grateful if someone else takes care of the weeds.

"That Lilysha seems to be quite active. She recently defeated ten first-year students in duels."

"That's impressive. Duel records are also considered in grades, so I hope she keeps it up."

"Is that so?"

"With good grades, she might have a chance to join the Student Council next year. She should also get recommendation letters for various institutions within the country."

It's what you'd call advantageous for employment.

Unlike the nobles who have plenty of options, commoners would definitely aim for that.

But reality isn't that sweet.

Most top achievers are nobles, so there's almost no room for commoners.

Still, every year, people with dreams keep enrolling in this school, which is quite remarkable.

"By the way, you're quite the informant."

"Well, as Alphiss-sama's aide, I always gather information."

"You're quite capable."

"Ehehe."

Oops, if I praise her too much, the five-story pagoda bento might become six stories.@@novelbin@@

It started with only two stories, after all.

"Speaking of which, where's Leticia?"

"She's been at the second training ground lately. She must have been really frustrated after losing to Lilysha."

"Good for her. I'll go see her after I finish eating."

I hurriedly finished the five-story pagoda bento, and we headed to the training ground.

However, there were only a few students training, and Leticia was nowhere to be seen.

"Did we miss her?"

"Maybe."

We left the second training ground and saw Leticia's back.

I was about to call out to her, but her expression was quite fierce.

Even I felt a chill for a moment.

"Where is Leticia going with that look on her face?"

"Did Lilysha do something to her again?"

If that's all, it's fine, but I don't think she'd get angry over something so trivial.

After all, she's the  hero of justice.

Out of curiosity, I followed Leticia.
