Running for Class Officer

"Forward march!"

Upon hearing the command, Ling Yun shouted loudly to his classmates.

Under Ling Yun's mental power guidance, everyone marched in unison, their steps neat and synchronized, just like well-trained soldiers.

On the rostrum, school leaders and drill instructors nodded one after another.

Compared to the previous two classes, which were slightly awkward and still adjusting to the rhythm, Ling Yun's Class Three displayed astonishing maturity, as if they had already ingrained every movement of the military training into their instincts.

Ultimately, there was no doubt that Ling Yun's class won first place in the military training exercise.

The final result was a foregone conclusion: Class 1-3 secured first place in the military training assessment with an overwhelming advantage!

[Congratulations to the host for successfully winning first place in the Body Tempering Training Competition for your peak.]

[System Reward: One Qi Refining Pill.]

"Next, please have the representative of the Military Training Model Class come to the stage to receive the award!"

The host's voice rang out.

The class advisor, Liu Shiguo, scanned the ranks and, with almost no hesitation, said, "Ling Yun, you go up."

The leadership and sense of responsibility this young man displayed during the military training earned his approval. It was most appropriate for him to represent the class in receiving the award.

Of course, another partial reason was that Ling Yun was handsome and made a good impression.

Ling Yun calmly walked onto the award stage. The sunlight fell on his tall, straight figure and handsome face. The female students below, who had been shrouded in fatigue, instantly perked up, and a low murmur of discussion and admiration arose.

"Wow, he's so handsome! Which class is he from?"

"He seems to be from Class Three, he's got such style!"

"I wonder if there's a chance to get to know him..."

This scene naturally drew envious glances from many male classmates.

Just as Ling Yun was holding the class award certificate and preparing to go down, the host announced again, "Next, we will present the individual awards for 'Outstanding Military Training Cadre'. Please come to the stage if your name is called: Class 1-3, Ling Yun!"

Amidst the classmates' well-meaning laughter and even warmer applause, Ling Yun ascended the stage again.

His outstanding performance and composed demeanor made the leaders on stage remember the name "Ling Yun."

After a lengthy award speech, the principal finally announced, "...Now, I declare: The 2019 freshman military training at Ning City No. 1 High School has come to a successful conclusion!"

A liberating cheer erupted on the sports field.

Immediately following this was the moment of farewell with the drill instructors who had spent seven days together.

"Goodbye, Drill Instructors!"

"Drill Instructors, we'll miss you!"

Many emotional students had red eyes and choked voices. This pure camaraderie stirred Ling Yun's heart as well. Although he wasn't as outwardly emotional as others, he genuinely felt this reluctance to part.

It was Ling Yun's turn to say goodbye to his drill instructor, Cheng Yuanzhou.

Cheng Yuanzhou patted Ling Yun's shoulder forcefully, his eyes full of admiration. "Ling Yun, well done! You're the most promising and composed soldier I've ever trained. Keep working hard, and I believe that no matter what you do in the future, you'll achieve great things! When that time comes, I'll brag to people that I trained a future pillar of the nation!"

A hearty smile spread across his tanned face, carrying the unique sincerity of a soldier.

Ling Yun also returned a solemn smile. "Drill Instructor Cheng, goodbye! I wish you an early realization of your dream and to soar through the blue skies!"

He hadn't forgotten Cheng Yuanzhou's aspiration to fly an airplane.

After the military training concluded, each class was led back to their respective classrooms by their class advisor.

"Classmates, we will now begin the election for class cadres."

Hearing Liu Shiguo's words, the students became alert.

"First, we will elect the position of class president."

[The peak where the host is located is about to begin its management selection. Please, host, become the Senior Disciple Brother of this peak.]

[Mission Reward: One random divine artifact.]

"Teacher, I'd like to try."

Seeing the system's reward, Ling Yun didn't hesitate.

The seven days of military training had established Ling Yun's absolute authority within the class. Most of the male classmates greatly respected Ling Yun, and the girls in the class naturally supported him unconditionally.

Therefore, after Ling Yun spoke, the students who had initially considered competing for class president lost their ambition.

"Since no other students are competing, Ling Yun will be our class president."

Liu Shiguo had actually intended to make Ling Yun the class president earlier; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Ling Yun to deliver the flower roster to the teacher's office.

He himself didn't quite understand why he valued Ling Yun so much. Perhaps it was Ling Yun's approachable aura.

Even if Ling Yun couldn't become class president, he would have made him his study representative.

[After a fierce selection, the host has ultimately become the Senior Disciple Brother of the Third Peak.]

[The system is drawing a divine artifact for the host.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine artifact, Famous Sword Siming.]

[Famous Sword Siming: Can block one fatal injury. It's the regret pill in King's Canyon—when you think you're dead for sure, it will tell you: 'Sorry, I won't break this round!']

Seeing that the system's reward was actually the Famous Sword Siming.

Ling Yun was also quite excited, after all, it was a life-saving item.

Although crises were almost impossible in real life, possessing this divine artifact provided a full sense of security.

The election continued.

The Study Committee Member was, without a doubt, Tang Jiaming, who ranked first in the entrance exam class.

The Culture and Arts Committee Member fell to Su Yue, who was skilled in painting and organization.

Next was the selection of the Discipline Committee Member.

However, when it came to the Discipline Committee Member, no one wanted the position.

It was the most thankless job, requiring the recording of discipline, attendance, and other matters.

"Since no one is willing, the class monitor will be responsible for it as well,"

Liu Shiguo didn't want to waste time; he wanted to get off work early and stated decisively.

Ling Yun didn't refuse either; since he was already the class monitor, a few more responsibilities didn't matter.

"Brother Yun, your power is terrifying now. You'll be like an emperor in our class, second only to the teacher."

"The teacher isn't afraid that his authority will be threatened. He'll be honest once his own power is sidelined."

Zhou Da, standing behind him, whispered to Ling Yun with a hint of envy on his face.

"Good kid, then you can be my little eunuch from now on."

Ling Yun saw Zhou Da's envious expression and decided to tease him.

"Haha, that works too! I'll be a little eunuch under you, but in the eyes of others in the class, I'll be the Class Manager!"

Zhou Da also chuckled mischievously.

Next was the Living Committee Member.

The students thought the Living Committee Member was a thankless job, doing all the dirty and tiring work, so no one ran for it.

Seeing his good brother become two class officers, Zhou Da didn't care if the Living Committee Member was a dirty or tiring job and wanted to try it.

"Teacher, leave this important task to me!"

Zhou Da put on a look of facing death bravely.

"Alright, it's you then!"

Liu Shiguo felt that as long as it wasn't Ling Yun, it didn't matter who the class officers were, as long as it didn't delay his getting off work.

"Brother Yun, I'm a class officer now too. Even though this position is a bit tiring,"

Zhou Da said happily to Ling Yun.

"Da Zi, you're truly a fool with good fortune. Who told you the Living Committee Member is tiring?"

"The main responsibilities of the Living Committee Member are managing class supplies (like chalk, cleaning tools), handling class fund income and expenses, and arranging the cleaning duty roster."

"Moreover, most Living Committee Members don't need to do the cleaning duties themselves; they just need to arrange for other students to do it."

Hearing Ling Yun's explanation, Zhou Da, who had already been happy about being elected Living Committee Member, became even happier.

"Holy crap, if you put it that way, Brother Yun, we've monopolized all the power. Old Liu is completely useless now. You're the Supreme Emperor, and I'm the Prime Minister!"

Zhou Da was already fantasizing about how he would have fun during their first year of high school.
