The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 90: The Past of Leandra

"You're gonna make my head go hollow with that bullet ? Don't joke, if you do that instead you'll also be punished by the academy?" asked Charlos.

"Punished ? You don't seem to know ? One of Elevrad's duties is to enforce the rules of the academy and Elevrad is given permission to commit acts of violence if when implementing the rules there are events where the perpetrators who violate the rules of the academy even turn to attack or threatening even if it is necessary to directly execute the perpetrator, as is the case today," said senior Nadine.

".....," Charlos was silent and frightened.

"What if you give up and don't fight back, hand over the money you took from the man who was lying down" said senior Nadine.

Charlos obeyed Nadine's senior order and handed over the money bag they took to Nadine's senior.

"Now you better get out of this library with your friends and don't fight back" said senior Nadine.

"Tch, all right," said Charlos.

Senior Nadine releases Charlos but he keeps pointing his mini-gun at Charlos just in case he suddenly strikes again. Charlos and his friends slowly left, passing me and Leandra who was hiding behind me. Before they passed me, their gazes were always on my way. A sharp gaze that depicted a person who was upset and wanted revenge. After they passed me, they walked straight up the stairs without even turning around to look back at me. And then they left the library.

"Excuse me, may I ask you to help bring this disciple to the treatment room on the 2nd floor ?," senior Nadine said to a group of male students who had seen the commotion we had caused.

"Alright, we will help bring the student," said one of the students.

"Then please give this bag of money to him later" said senior Nadine.

"All right" said the student.

"Don't try to take this bag of money" said Nadine.

"I know I don't want to feel shot by your rifle" said the student.

Senior Nadine handed over the money bag. Then the male disciples started carrying the lying disciple to be taken to the 2nd floor.

"All of you, I'm sorry for making such a fuss in this library. Because the problem is over, you can continue your activities in this library without being disturbed again" said senior Nadine while bowing.

Hearing the words of senior Nadine, the students who had initially watched the commotion began to leave to continue their activities in this library. I looked around and no one else looked at us. When I looked around, I realized that the bookshelf hit by Charlos was not damaged or fell in the least, the books were still on the shelf. Either it was damaged and has been repaired by some kind of Artifact or it was not damaged at all since it was hit by Charlos.

Then senior Nadine approached us both.

"Are you two okay, Leandra, Rid?" asked Nadine.

"I'm fine, but by the way how does senior Nadine know about my name ? not that we've never met before?" I asked.

"I asked about the person the chairman fought in the first year arena to Miss Gretta because I knew the person the chairman was fighting. And it turns out I just found out that your name is Rid Archie, the one who got perfect marks on all three entrance exams. On the first day of the new school year, we met in the morning. I should have asked you your name at the time" said senior Nadine.

"Well, I remember when you dropped your potatoes, it was the beginning of our meeting" I said.

Senior Nadine was exactly like Irene, the two of them were both expressionless when speaking.

"By the way, senior Nadine, why did you release the four disciples earlier ? didn't you say you wanted to enforce the academy's rules?," I asked.

"I did let them go but take it easy, I will still report this incident to the chairman and the academy. Events like this often occur in lonely places where no one else will see their action. You are also better off avoiding places like that so as not to become a victim of blackmail like the student who was, you are also Leandra," said senior Nadine.

Senior Nadine realized there was something unusual about Leandra's attitude, she was like a fear of something.

"What's Leandra ? why do you feel like you're scared?" said senior Nadine.

"Ti-nothing," said Leandra who was still hiding behind me.

"Did those four guys do something to Leandra?" asked senior Nadine.

"I will explain the full chronology. At first I wanted to stop the four of them, then the four of them came to me. After that Lea came and asked me not to interfere with their affairs because maybe Lea was afraid I would be forgiven considering the three of them were third year students while I was a first year student. Then they realized that Leah was an elf and they said that Leah was my slave and that Leah served me every night. After taking Leah as a slave, they wanted to borrow Leah and said they would ignore what I had done to see them blackmail. But I immediately kicked one of them and after that started the commotion" I said.

"So yes, in addition to blackmail, they also discriminate against other races. Their punishment will be even more severe if I report this" said senior Nadine.

Meanwhile senior Nadine was still staring at Leandra.

"You don't have to worry, Leandra. I will take care of the students and in case you do not experience such things, you better not travel alone and avoid lonely places" said senior Nadine.

"Well, Miss Nadine, please" said Leandra.

"Then, I'd like to report about this first to the chairman and then report to the academy. Rid, please take her to Lily or to Irene" said Nadine's senior.

"Alright, after all he's my friend" I said.

"Then I say goodbye" said Nadine's senior.

Senior Nadine went to the stairs and left the library.

"Let's calm down, Lea, don't be afraid and they're gone anyway, let me go and meet Lily or Irene" I said.

"Rid, I'm once again sorry for laughing at your dreams" Leandra said.

"I told you that I've forgiven you for that" I said.

"The reason I laugh at your dreams is because of this. Did you hear what they said ? They say I'm a slave, well that's not wrong. Elf races and any race other than humans are slaves in this kingdom, not only other races even humans themselves are slaves in this kingdom. I was also a slave at first. I come from a village in the land of Elves, Celeria, which is south of the kingdom of San Fulgen. The new king of the land suddenly set a high tax on his people. People who could not pay the tax would be sold as slaves to other kingdoms. My family is one that can't pay that tax. We were eventually sold as slaves. Luckily, my family was bought by Duke San Lucia's family. We were freed as slaves and given decent work and we were also paid for our work. My father and mother also worked at the Duke's residence. Not only my family, but Duke San Lucia's family also properly employs other races. But when they told me that I was a slave to serve, I got scared. I imagine what if my family wasn't bought by Duke San Lucia's family. Maybe I'll end up as the boy they said I was. I kept imagining it and that's why I was scared" Leandra said.

"I just found out about this" I said

"This kingdom is a human kingdom, so it is only natural that they look down on other races as slaves or so on. Other kingdoms such as the Elf and Demi-Human kingdoms also looked down on other races that were not of their race. You keep saying that your dream is to make the world one and bring peace to this world ? Ignore the angels and demons first, uniting the world means you want to make many such kingdoms united ? That's why I laughed and said that it was impossible, their attitude towards other races was like that. Well even though not all behave like them," said Leandra.

"That's why I need an important position in this kingdom. If I have an important position, I have the influence to change the rules in this kingdom or at least I can change the views of people who look down on other races. After changing this kingdom, I can apply it to other kingdoms as diplomacy from this kingdom" I said.

"Maybe you can do that, but it's certainly not easy to do that and there must be some who disagree with your dream. How do you handle those who disagree with your dreams?" asked Leandra.

"You're right, there must be those who disagree with my dream of uniting the world. Actually I prefer the subtle way to approach them but if the subtle way can not be done,........ it seems like the only way left is to get rid of those who disagree with my dreams" I said
