The Class President Election

The heart-pounding Q&A session concluded, leading into the classic ritual of electing a class monitor.

It was clearly a useless endeavor, and Ji Siyuan had no intention of participating.

However, when Zhang Lexuan brought up the election, her gaze was fixed entirely on Ji Siyuan.

"Is there any student who would like to serve as class monitor?" Her voice was gentle, but her eyes remained locked on Ji Siyuan.

At this moment, Ji Siyuan had no spare energy to care about such things; his hands were being held by the two people beside him, and he had to coax them properly.

But it wasn't easy to coax them in the middle of class.

Huo Yuhao's issues needed to be addressed in private, while Wang Dong'er, for reasons unknown, had taken the initiative and grabbed his hand directly.

He was even less sure how to handle this.

He was struggling with how to deal with his two deskmates.

But his hesitation made everyone else hesitate as well.

Ji Siyuan's strength was beyond doubt; as long as he stood up to run for class monitor, the result would be a foregone conclusion.

Zhang Lexuan also looked at him as if asking a question, clearly wanting him to take the position.

This made the others shrink back, all waiting for his response.

"Does Student Ji Siyuan not wish to serve as class monitor?" Zhang Lexuan took the initiative to ask.

"Ah? Me?" Ji Siyuan was still struggling with his deskmates.

Huo Yuhao was too nervous to let go, while Wang Dong'er was inexplicably gripping his hand even tighter.

"Because the teacher is only familiar with you, you are the priority choice." A flawless reason.

It was of no help to Ji Siyuan himself, and since he didn't lack so-called prestige, he naturally wouldn't take the role. "I won't serve. Teacher can go find someone else."

With Ji Siyuan's refusal, the others became exceptionally active.

Everyone wanted to be class monitor.

Based on strength, it would certainly be Dai Huabin. But considering his recent behavior and past reputation, Zhang Lexuan did not particularly support Dai Huabin for the role.

With the best candidate gone, she naturally had to pick someone else.

"What about Wang Dong'er?"

"I have no interest either."

Rejected by two people in a row, Zhang Lexuan had no choice but to pick someone else.

The unlucky Xiao Xiao became an option that everyone could accept.

Her talent was high enough, and her combat power was decent.

It was just that Dai Huabin kept making a fuss.

"Teacher, I don't accept this. Xiao Xiao has Twin Martial Souls, and I admit her talent is good, but her soul power isn't high enough. I am the one with the highest soul power in this class. I am the most suitable to be class monitor. Only with high soul power can one guide cultivation; combat power is not important."

Ji Siyuan felt the strength of Huo Yuhao's grip on him increase.

He was angry; he wanted revenge.

"Alright, leave it to me." He whispered to comfort Huo Yuhao.

"Knowing your own talent is poor, yet you still jump out? Where do you get the nerve? And saying combat power isn't important—come, let's spar." Ji Siyuan slapped the table and stood up.

"Hmph, I accept you as monitor! I don't recognize anyone else. Unless they can beat me." Dai Huabin still wanted to act tough, but the moment he saw Ji Siyuan's eyes, he immediately wilted.

He didn't dare to confront him head-on at all.

Dai Huabin shouted indignantly: "Anyway, I don't accept Xiao Xiao."

Ji Siyuan glared at Dai Huabin: "If you don't accept it, come find me. A class monitor is someone to get work done, not just someone with high strength. Let's have another match; I want to see how many moves you can last against me without the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Without Ning Tian's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and without Huang Chutian and Xie Huanyue to break up the fight, Dai Huabin felt he wouldn't last three rounds.

Dai Huabin once again added Ji Siyuan to his mental blacklist.

That was how the class monitor election went; they were still young and couldn't see other types of abilities, willing only to listen to those stronger than themselves.

Although being class monitor didn't truly require those abilities, he could be certain that Dai Huabin was absolutely not the one.

Ji Siyuan cursed inwardly: "That heaven-defying Dai Huabin, he's got me acting against my own nature. This time, it goes against my true heart."

Tang San: "Standing up for a friend is never wrong. Young people always have moments when their sense of justice flares up."

Zhang Lexuan: "I'm sorry, students. It is the teacher's fault; I did not explain clearly. A class monitor is responsible for many things, and sometimes, high combat power does not mean one is suitable to be class monitor."

"I chose based on performance during the melee. Student Xiao Xiao made excellent decisions at critical moments. Student Ji Siyuan was also able to shoulder command responsibilities and demonstrate leadership. That is why I asked those two."

Wang Dong'er didn't hear her own name and looked confused: ??? What about me? Surely I don't lack merits outside of combat power?

Zhang Lexuan couldn't read minds, so she naturally didn't know Wang Dong'er's question. Yet, her seemingly sincere apology was also a way of testing the class.

A single self-nomination for class monitor allowed Zhang Lexuan to see many problems and understand the specific strength of the class's elite.

Even though Xiao Xiao had Twin Martial Souls, she couldn't easily win everyone over.

Xiao Xiao raised her hand timidly: "Teacher, if the class monitor doesn't necessarily need high combat power, I recommend Student Huo Yuhao. He was the one who took on the main command duties during the final melee."

Xiao Xiao's recommendation made the choice for class monitor even more bewildering.

Dai Huabin: "Then let's vote!"

It was the simplest and most direct method.

Zhang Lexuan: "Then, does student Huo Yuhao wish to participate?"

Huo Yuhao heard that she would be pitted against Dai Huabin.

Her first instinct was to rush forward. She stood up, but feeling a lack of confidence, she wanted to sit back down.

But seeing Ji Siyuan beside her, she made up her mind: "Yes, teacher, I will participate in the election for class monitor."

The power of fate was formidable, pushing Huo Yuhao once again toward the position of class monitor.

Because of the strong support from Wang Dong'er and Ji Siyuan, many people chose to support Huo Yuhao.

In the end, she had one more vote than Dai Huabin.

Huo Yuhao successfully assumed the position of class monitor.

Dai Huabin wanted to say something more, but under the intense gazes of both Ji Siyuan and Zhang Lexuan, he dared not speak.

As his fiancée, Zhu Lu jumped out to speak for Dai Huabin: "A soul master who isn't even a second-ring is becoming the monitor of Class One; isn't that just a joke?"

"Are you dissatisfied with the monitor chosen by the class?" Zhang Lexuan frowned, looking displeased.

"Yes, I am dissatisfied. Her strength is too weak! Unless she defeats me, I will never acknowledge her."

Dai Huabin acted as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "That's right, she can't even beat a second-ring soul master, how could she possibly serve as monitor?"

"Huo Yuhao, do you dare to accept my challenge?" Zhu Lu stood up to face Huo Yuhao.

The three-ring Dai Huabin would deal with the second-ring Xiao Xiao, and the second-ring Zhu Lu would face the one-ring Huo Yuhao.

Fate was just like that, giving Huo Yuhao a chance.

"Fine, I accept!" Huo Yuhao gritted her teeth and made her choice.

Under the gaze of everyone, Huo Yuhao battled Zhu Lu.

From the very beginning, Huo Yuhao fell into a disadvantage.

Tang San: "Siyuan, aren't you worried?"

Ji Siyuan exhaled: "Not worried. The god-level remnant soul inside her is about to wake up."

Gray currents emerged in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and she used the power of Electrolux to defeat Zhu Lu.

"A second awakening?" Wang Yan, who was watching from the side, reached this conclusion.

The result was out; Huo Yuhao had achieved victory. She also collapsed weakly into the arms of Ji Siyuan, who had rushed over.

Dai Huabin jumped out again: "I don't accept this, I am a three-ring!"

"I said, you can fight me!" Ji Siyuan glared at Dai Huabin while holding Huo Yuhao.

Dai Huabin looked unwilling: "You!"

Zhang Lexuan: "Zhu Lu is an agility-attack system soul master and should not remain in this class. Once this lesson ends, she can go to the agility-attack class."

"Teacher, she only stayed because we have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill," Dai Huabin hurriedly explained.

"Hmm, then you can follow her to the agility-attack class as well."
