The Genius Martial Arts Club President Was Actually Me

"Since no one has any objections, then it's settled. Next, let's discuss which position should be given to Su Yi."

"Wait, President, will Su Yi definitely accept?"

"Whether he accepts is his business. Whether we extend the invitation is the Martial Arts Club's business. When the time comes, Xue Hang can sound him out and ask what Su Yi thinks."

Xie Jie crossed his arms, glanced at the Minister who had just spoken, then turned to Xue Hang.

So Yu Peng wasn't the only fool. This Minister was a little smarter than Yu Peng, but not by much.

Did it matter whether Su Yi accepted?

What mattered was whether they invited him and offered him a position. Once they had extended the invitation, whether he was willing to come was his own choice.

Xue Hang nodded. He really was the more suitable person to ask about this.

Seeing Xue Hang agree, Xie Jie slowly revealed a smile and continued, "The new semester has already been underway for more than two months. Several Senior Year students have all indicated that they plan to resign from their Martial Arts Club positions and take up posts outside the academy.

"So I did the math. There are currently two Vice President positions open, as well as the heads of the Office and Finance Department. Xue Hang, you know Su Yi better. Tell us—which position would suit him best?"

Xue Hang propped up his chin with one hand and considered it. "Su Yi is obviously more passionate about advancing in martial arts. He probably won't be interested in the Office or Finance Department. If we let him serve as a nominal Vice President, he should accept."

"A nominal position..."

Xie Jie nodded unconsciously as he murmured the words. Indeed, when they had invited Su Yi to join the Martial Arts Club before, Su Yi had also requested to be listed in name only.

At that thought, Xie Jie let out a breath inwardly. If Su Yi didn't want to handle affairs, then he wouldn't challenge Xie Jie's position as Martial Arts Club President.

Otherwise, if he were driven from the presidency after only a few months, that would be far too humiliating.

He truly wasn't confident that he could defeat Su Yi. It wasn't as if he valued the Martial Arts Club President position that highly, but stepping down on his own and being forced down were two entirely different matters.

Once he reached Senior Year next year, he would step down directly. Whoever wanted to be President could be President.

Being Martial Arts Club President at Magic Martial Academy was far too stressful.

"Alright then, Xue Hang, I'll have to trouble you to ask Su Yi again. Does anyone else have any objections?"

Xie Jie spoke to Xue Hang first, then swept his gaze over the other members as he asked.

"No."

"No."

"..."

Xie Jie's meaning was clear enough. There was no need for them to object. Otherwise, they would be provoking not only Su Yi, but Xue Hang and Xie Jie as well.

"Since that's the case, then it's settled. Next..."

"What does Senior Brother mean?"

Su Yi received a call from Xue Hang, who told him that Xie Jie intended to invite him to take up a managerial position in the Martial Arts Club.

Xue Hang pondered for a moment before saying, "Whether you're willing depends on what you want, Junior Brother. If you don't want to deal with miscellaneous affairs, then just hold the title."

He genuinely wanted Su Yi to become a Vice President. The Martial Arts Club was not without its disputes; struggles over benefits were unavoidable no matter what.

If Su Yi became a Vice President, Xue Hang's own influence would rise considerably as well. But it still depended on Su Yi's plans. This was not something that could be forced.

"Then I'll just hold the title."

Su Yi agreed without much thought. Since he didn't need to actually work, he might as well take the title.

He had considered the Martial Arts Club before—whether he should challenge the Martial Arts Club President and directly take the position for himself.

But in the end, he had chosen to abandon that idea.

Other than dragging down his cultivation progress, it held little meaning.

He was still in a period of rapid growth in strength. There was no need to waste his cultivation time over such petty gains.

Besides, it would offend too many people. He had no grudge against Xie Jie, who had expressed goodwill toward him more than once.

Moreover, acting that way did not fit his persona or temperament.

Su Yi's agreement sent a surge of joy through Xue Hang's heart. Smiling, he said, "Alright, then. Are you free to come to the Martial Arts Club this afternoon? You can meet the Vice Presidents and the heads of the various departments."

"I'm free."

"Then let's meet at two this afternoon. I won't disturb your cultivation any longer."

After ending the call, Su Yi vaguely recalled some hazy memories.

When Wu Kuishan had brought his friends, daughter, and students into the Underground Cave in '99, there seemed to have been someone among them who was the Martial Arts Club President, at Fourth Grade Peak.

But this year, he had only taken in Su Yi and Wu Duoduo.

Then could that genius Martial Arts Club President have been him?

Xue Hang would have long since graduated by '99, so it wouldn't be him.

And after Wu Kuishan broke through to Grandmaster next year, he should be at his busiest, so he probably wouldn't take in any students either.

Looking at it that way, that unknown genius Martial Arts Club President might truly have been himself.

"This development is starting to get interesting."

Knowing that he had originally been destined to die three years later, Su Yi did not think much of it.

He was already Fourth Grade Mid now. In three years, he should at least reach Sixth Grade. As for becoming a Grandmaster, Su Yi felt a little uncertain—it was a bit of a stretch.

The main issue was that Sixth Grade Gate Sealing would probably consume a great deal of time.

His cheat was nowhere near as powerful as Fang Ping's, which could simulate auras joining together to seal gates.

A minor cheat did not count as cheating. Rounding it off, he basically did not have a cheat at all.

As an utterly ordinary genius, how could he compare to a cheat user?

1:50 p.m.

Su Yi arrived at the Martial Arts Club.

He had not asked Xue Hang to come pick him up. He had already learned the way last time.

He was also a Martial Arts Club Member. Though his membership was only nominal, no one stopped him.

He had exchanged messages with Xue Hang beforehand and knew that they were already waiting for him in the meeting room.

"Su Yi?"

A voice with an ethereal quality reached Su Yi's ears as he headed toward the meeting room.

It was very soft, but with Su Yi's hearing, he still caught it easily.

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Su Yi stopped and turned toward the source of the voice.

Bai Ruoxi.

Bai Ruoxi wore a white outfit and held several folders in her arms, standing off to the side and looking at Su Yi in confusion.

"Classmate Bai, long time no see."

Su Yi greeted her first. Bai Ruoxi was also in Class 1, the same class as him.

She was simply too quiet, so they had not interacted much.

He had not known that Bai Ruoxi had joined the Martial Arts Club.

Bai Ruoxi's eyes curved as she smiled softly. "It has indeed been a long time."

Su Yi was quite the busy man. He had barely attended any of their major courses.

They had been enrolled for over two months, yet the number of times they had met could be counted on one hand.

Still, there were countless rumors about Su Yi. She greatly admired both his strength and talent.

Perhaps only someone as dedicated to martial arts as he was could achieve such accomplishments.

"What are those?"

Su Yi pointed at the folders in her arms and asked with a smile.

Normally, he might have just greeted her and left.

But that morning, Su Yi had recalled certain descriptions of himself from the original novel—descriptions that had come from Bai Ruoxi.

Will she have a crush on me in the future?

Although Su Yi had already received many love letters and confessions from girls, boys could not help feeling a trace of secret delight over such things.

It had nothing to do with whether he liked them or not.

But that was in the future, and people's feelings were fickle. The current Bai Ruoxi probably did not have such thoughts.

Following the direction Su Yi pointed, Bai Ruoxi lowered her head to look at the folders in her arms, then raised her head and smiled lightly. "I was just about to deliver these files to the meeting room."

Hm? What a coincidence.

Su Yi raised his brows. "I'm heading to the meeting room too. Let's go together."

The two entered the meeting room. Su Yi swept his gaze around and saw that several people were already seated inside. When Xue Hang saw him, he waved and pointed to the empty seat beside him.

Bai Ruoxi placed the files on the meeting room table, explained where they had come from, then said goodbye to Su Yi and left the meeting room.

When Su Yi walked over to the empty seat beside Xue Hang, Xue Hang gave him a meaningful look and teased, "That girl was?" He even raised a brow after speaking.

Su Yi sat down, rolled his eyes slightly, and said with a light smile, "A classmate."

Xue Hang drew out an "Oh." "A classmate, huh? Do you need me to take extra care of her?"

As though he had not caught the implication, Su Yi replied naturally, "She's my classmate. If you have the time, Senior Brother, please look after her a little more."

Xie Jie had also heard their conversation. Bai Ruoxi was indeed a student from Freshman Year Class 1.

He silently remembered the name. He did not think Su Yi had said that merely for Xue Hang to hear.

Perhaps it had just been an offhand remark, but looking after a new Club Member would not cost him anything.

With everyone present, Xie Jie did not waste words and said directly, "Today, through a Martial Arts Club meeting, we unanimously decided to invite Freshman Year student Su Yi to serve as the Martial Arts Club's Vice President."

"Let's get acquainted first. I'm Xie Jie, President of the Martial Arts Club."

Su Yi rose to her feet and introduced herself with easy grace. "Freshman Year, Su Yi."

"Junior Year, Admissions Office, Xue Hang."

"Junior Year, Vice President of the Martial Arts Club, Yu Peng."

"Junior Year, Vice President of the Martial Arts Club, Qiu Huaqing."

"Junior Year, Minister of the Discipline Inspection Department, Mao Siyuan."

"Junior Year, Minister of the Foreign Affairs Department, Meng Kangping."

"Junior Year, Office Director, Wang Zhuyue."

"Junior Year, Minister of the Finance Department, Li Leyao."

"Everyone here is from this year's Junior Year cohort. There were originally several Senior Year students as well, but they stepped down this morning. Wang Zhuyue and Li Leyao only took over as Ministers this morning. The Internal Affairs Department is concurrently managed by the President..."

After giving the names, Xue Hang began explaining things to Su Yi.

As Su Yi listened to Xue Hang's introduction, she noted down everyone's information.

The two Vice Presidents were both at Fourth Grade Initial, while everyone else was a Third Rank martial artist. Xue Hang had also only recently become Director of the Admissions Office. The previous Director had been a Senior Year student as well and had stepped down last week, handing the position over to Xue Hang.

"Since everyone is acquainted now, I'll briefly explain the Martial Arts Club's current situation. Two Vice Presidents have stepped down, and the Office Director and Finance Department Minister positions have also been handed over. Wang Zhuyue will serve as Office Director, Li Leyao as Minister of the Finance Department, and Su Yi as Vice President of the Martial Arts Club.

"At present, we're still short one Vice President. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to bring them up."

The Demon Martial Club had one President and four Vice Presidents, five presidents in total. Its current three Vice Presidents were Qiu Huaqing, Yu Peng, and Su Yi.
