Chapter 39

Although Ryan was defeated, Class 2-1 did not dare to come and reclaim their lost face, as Ryan had initially taken over their practice field. Moreover, if they were to seek trouble at this time, they would inevitably be seen as petty. However, the students of Class 2-1 all remembered Luo Feng, who had defeated Ryan and brought shame to them. Because of this incident, Luo Feng gained a bit of a reputation throughout the Starlight Academy. After all, it was rare for a student from the basic class to defeat a student from the advanced class in the academy's history. If the difference in their Aura levels was three stages, it could almost be said to be unprecedented.

In Class 1-8, Luo Feng became a hero, and his status changed significantly. Many classmates would greet him, and even two girls confessed to him, though Luo Feng politely declined.

Luo Feng did not become arrogant because of the respect from others. Having experienced hardships in his youth, he cherished everything he had now. He continued to train diligently every day and returned to Lucia's house on weekends to undergo a spirit medicine refinement and engage in a few practical sessions with the beautiful president.

Time passed unnoticed, and Luo Feng quietly advanced to the third stage of Aura.

On Monday morning of the fifth week of the semester, the homeroom teacher, Vernon, appeared on time: "In this class meeting, we will discuss an important matter. A month has passed, and I believe everyone has come to know and understand their classmates better and has made good friends. However, Class 1-8 is a large collective, and as a collective, it should have its own leader who can set an example and lead everyone forward, making the collective more united and friendly. Therefore, today, we will elect a class president!"

Class president?

The students immediately became restless. Vernon then waved his hand to quiet the room: "The election of the class president will be conducted by a vote, with each person having one vote. However, before voting, I have a few words to say. The class president represents Class 1-8, and he must be capable, energetic, responsible, and cohesive. Therefore, please set aside your personal biases and do not just vote for your acquaintances, but for the most suitable candidate. That's all I have to say. Now, everyone can discuss for ten minutes before we start the voting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students of Class 1-8 began to chatter. After ten minutes, Vernon said: "Very well, now you can vote. Starting from number one, you can select multiple candidates. The one with the most votes will become our class president. Also, while voting, please state your reasons."

Number one was Thomas, who immediately stood up: "Teacher Vernon, I cast my vote for Luo Feng. As everyone knows, not long ago, Class 1-8 had a conflict with Class 2-1 over the practice field. That guy was arrogant, and I couldn't stand it, so I fought him but was humiliated. It was Luo Feng who stood up and won back our pride for Class 1-8! His ability to defeat a student from the advanced class is undeniable. I dare say he is the strongest person in our class, and he cares deeply about the honor of the collective. More importantly, despite his strength, Luo Feng is very humble and treats everyone kindly. He has good interpersonal skills and is very cohesive. Therefore, I believe he is the best candidate for class president!"

Luo Feng was a bit surprised, as he had never thought that someone would nominate him for class president.

In the youth training camp in Tianwei City, let alone class president, everyone considered themselves to be worthless.

"Hmm, very good," the homeroom teacher nodded in satisfaction. "I hope everyone else can also be as bold as Thomas in stating their reasons while voting."

Number two also stood up: "I also cast my vote for Luo Feng. Although Thomas is also good, I believe Luo Feng is the most suitable. Since Thomas has already expressed my thoughts, I won't repeat them."

The others also expressed their opinions, surprisingly in unison. Every student cast their vote for Luo Feng, and even those who proposed more than one candidate included Luo Feng.

This was not surprising, as since Luo Feng's battle with Ryan, he had gained a high popularity in the class.

Although Thomas was also popular, the class president represented the entire collective, and everyone hoped that the person with the highest popularity and the strongest abilities would take the position to bring more honor to the class.

This continued until Aaron, and Luo Feng received every vote, leaving no doubt about the result.

Luo Feng, as the last one, stood up: "Although I think Thomas is very suitable, it seems I can only thank everyone for their trust and support."

"Hehe, Luo Feng, don't be modest. You are clearly the choice of the majority. Please come up here," Teacher Vernon smiled. He had naturally heard of Luo Feng's glorious deeds. Being able to defeat a student from the advanced class as a basic class student brought him a lot of pride. However, he had not expected that the student with the lowest Aura level in the class would so quickly shine and win the hearts of all the students in Class 1-8.

Luo Feng walked to the front of the class, and Vernon took out a badge, saying earnestly: "This is the badge of the class president. You must wear it on many occasions representing Class 1-8. I hope you will take the honor of Class 1-8 as your own responsibility and lead the class to greater heights!"

Amidst the enthusiastic applause and cheers of the students, Luo Feng took the badge, feeling its weight, as from now on, he would be the leader of Class 1-8 and shoulder more responsibilities.

Walking back to his seat, Aaron nudged him with his elbow: "Hey, big hero, you're the class president now. You won't look down on us ordinary people, right?"

Luo Feng blushed and said, "Aaron, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

Aaron sighed, pretending to be disappointed: "From now on, you are the public figure of our class, the class president for everyone, no longer just my roommate. I feel like someone has taken you away!"

Luo Feng put his arm around Aaron's shoulder and chuckled, "No way, Aaron, don't worry. I will always be your roommate. No one can take me away from you."

Aaron's body trembled, feeling a bit strange, his face turning slightly red. But he quickly calmed down, giving Luo Feng a glare and saying irritably, "Hey, I was just joking. Don't be so sappy. Besides, who cares about you? If someone wants to take you away, I'll let them. Humph!"

Luo Feng shook his head, thinking it was strange that Aaron, a boy, could be so "jealous" like a girl.

After becoming the class president, Luo Feng became busier. In addition to his daily studies, he had to handle some class affairs and occasionally help classmates with problems in their training. With the guidance of the supreme masters, Luo Feng's martial arts theory was extremely refined. Many people who were stuck at a bottleneck found solutions under Luo Feng's guidance, which further increased his popularity and reputation in Class 1-8. Although he was busier, his life was very fulfilling.

Just as he was fully fulfilling his duties as class president and enjoying his status, a challenge came unexpectedly.

On Saturday afternoon, near the weekend, Luo Feng, as usual, delivered the weekly class report to the school's teaching office. As he walked out of the office, he encountered someone.

It was a handsome boy, the badge on his chest indicating his identity as the class president of Class 2-1, Gorin.

Luo Feng had seen him before, as they were both in the first year and both class presidents, but they often met in public places with many people. Due to the conflict between Class 2-1 and Class 1-8 because of Ryan, they never greeted each other, usually pretending not to see each other.

However, this time, with no one around, Gorin deliberately or unintentionally blocked Luo Feng's path: "Not bad, using our Ryan as a stepping stone, you even became the class president!"

His tone was clearly not one of praise, and Luo Feng couldn't help but frown.

It seemed that this class president of Class 2-1 was not as calm as he appeared, and he had been harboring the conflict between the two classes, only now showing it.

Gorin continued, "Don't get too cocky. In two months, the Bond Trading Company will sponsor our academy to hold an internal exchange competition. Each class will select a representative to participate. As the representative of Class 2-1, I will erase the stain you brought to Class 2-1 in this competition and return it to Class 1-8 with interest!"

As he spoke, his Aura suddenly burst forth, making a metallic sound and emitting a pale golden light.

Metallic!

Luo Feng was quite surprised. Gorin's Aura already had an attribute characteristic.

It was not only dwarves and other races that could develop attribute characteristics at the Aura stage; some humans with special constitutions could also awaken their attributes early. Gorin was clearly one of them, and based on the thickness of his Aura, he should have reached the sixth stage of Aura, which was why he could become the class president of Class 2-1.
