Surprisingly, Kim Minji had not been kidding when she had mentioned her possibly joining the disciplinary committee. After all, Merlin was standing in the room, looking straight at her, a smile on her face as she put on the same golden armband with the Academy’s insignia he wore that came with the position. Merlin was bamboozled. Who in their right senses was fine with going about making students their enemies? He knew he wouldn’t have wanted to join the committee if he had not been forced to because of his theory scores; but Kim Minji was different. She’d had a choice, and she had made the wrong one. He sighed when she turned to him, her smile even wider. “Since you both have the most free time on Fridays, then I’ve decided that your duties will be assigned to it,” President Sakamoto began as soon as he was done with Kim Minji. “The job’s simple really. All you have to do is go around the Academy, cautioning anyone who doesn’t adhere to the rules, be it classmates or seniors. Don’t worry about the latter, you have been bestowed with the power to speak to them as their equal. Still, do it with as much respect as you can spare in the situation.” First of all, the Academy was the size of a whole estate. There was no way they could cover every nook and cranny of it; that was, unless they wanted to have leg cramps. Secondly, if the power President Sakamoto was talking about was the armband, then what would happen when they weren’t putting it on? Their enemies could just come after them then. It was easy for him to say because he was also a senior. Merlin didn’t even want to think about how it would go if he walked up to someone like Sun-Hee and told her to stop spell casting. He glanced at her. She wasn’t looking at him, but, for some reason, he felt like she was. His inner self shivered and he turned away. “Here,” President Sakamoto handed over a clipboard to Kim Minji as well as a plain sheet of paper. “Anyone who doesn’t listen, put their names and classes down here. Professor Jung will take care of the rest.” “Okay,” said Kim Minji simply as she took the clipboard and paper. Merlin, though, wasn’t satisfied just yet. “They won’t just give us their names and classes, you know?” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “What do we do then?” President Sakamoto blinked and turned to Will, who was lying on the couch, scrolling through his phone. “They give us all the time, though, don’t they, Will?” Will nodded as his reply, only forcing out a ‘hmmm’ when President Sakamoto didn’t look away. Merlin shook his head. These guys couldn’t see that he and Kim Minji were different from them. They were seniors, for one, and if Sun-Hee was with them, they would come off as rather intimidating. No one in their right state of mind wouldn’t give them the information they requested. Also, Merlin was certain that President Sakamoto and Will were not just ordinary Mages as well. Prestige Academy rarely had ordinary Mages. If the second ranked Mage Academy in the world is this way, I wonder what sort of Mages are in Crown Academy. Must be crazy for those guys over there. Back to the matter at hand, they really couldn’t do what was being asked of them. “We’ll try our best,” Kim Minji said at that moment, stopping Merlin from continuing to ramble on about his qualms with the whole thing. He glanced at her, noticing the resolve burning in her eyes and decided to take a step back. There was no use in trying to convince President Sakamoto that it would be hard for them to enforce the law in the same manner as they did. It was not like anything would change. They still had to head out into the field either way. Merlin was certain, though, they would be coming back with a blank paper. “Also,” President Sakamoto continued. “This is a secret, but I can tell you guys now since you’ve officially joined. Members of the disciplinary committee earn extra points for their Cohorts for every law they enforce.” He smiled. “So, take it from me, you won’t just be wasti
