Shrek's new student season soon officially kicked off.
Compared with previous years, the Outer Court had considerably more students. Many geniuses who had originally been expected to enter the Inner Court had also been assigned to the Outer Court.
Lately, the new first-year class had been thick with the smell of gunpowder over the choice of class president and committee members.
They were all geniuses, and none would yield to the others.
So, to resolve the situation and help the future class president establish authority, the new class's homeroom teacher, Wu Changkong, decided to hold a class committee selection tournament. He even required everyone in the class to participate.
It was scheduled for a week later.
Xie Xie sighed. "Tell me, what was Teacher Wu thinking...?"
Xu Xiaoyan looked equally miserable. "The secondary profession competitions and all that are fine, but a battle royale where the last three standing become the class president and vice presidents... how about we withdraw halfway through and earn someone a favor?"
Xie Xie gave a bitter smile. "If we dared do that, do you think Teacher Wu would let us off?"
Xu Xiaoyan shuddered at the thought and said no more.
The two of them crouched beneath the shade of a tree outside the classroom, drawing circles in thoroughly miserable fashion.
"What are you two doing?"
A clear, bright voice sounded beside them. Xie Xie froze for a moment, then sprang up and turned, throwing himself at the newcomer so fast Xu Xiaoyan could barely follow him.
"Boss-!"
Xie Xie clung tightly to Tang Wulin, all but dissolving into tears and snot.
"It's been so long since I saw you! Waaaah~"
A hand peeled him off Tang Wulin, accompanied by an icy female voice. "Can't you show a little restraint?"
"Sister Gu Yue!"
