Chapter 41: Huohuo: You Won’t Be Able To Control Me Soon~
Except for Class Monitor, the competition for the other positions was exceptionally fierce.
Even the usually least popular Disciplinary Committee Member had four or five people competing, and among them was unexpectedly Xingye.
The three presidents left after Zuo Hang’s Speech ended, and aside from Zuo Hang, Class A had no one else who caught the presidents’ attention.

School corridor.
Huohuo asked: “What do you think of this junior student?? Do we still need to go to Class B and Class F? I feel like no one is more outstanding than Zuo Hang.”
“Go, of course we have to go. Him? Outstanding? Heh, don’t make me laugh. What did he even talk about? Aside from some good-looking data, I didn’t see anything useful.”
Huohuo chuckled lightly: “Don’t be tsundere, President. Good is good. When Zuo Hang finished speaking, I saw you curving the corners of your mouth. Don’t try to fool me.”
The president didn’t respond, but instead asked Jiang Xia: “What do you think?”
“Honestly speaking, not bad, really not bad. He feels like the kind of person who can take the lead, and he has strength too. His character is also impeccable.” Jiang Xia said frankly.
“—Eh??” Huohuo deliberately dragged out the sound of doubt, “Ah? The kind who can take the lead, has strength, and impeccable character??? Wasn’t it that some woman a week ago was shouting that as long as she was alive, she absolutely wouldn’t let a certain someone into the Student Union? What happened over the weekend?? What did you do behind our backs? Oh~~ I remember now, Zuo Hang seemed to message me on Saturday.”
“No way?? You didn’t really go to the Training Ground with the junior student, did you? Tsk, saying that as long as she’s alive he can’t get into the Student Union, but isn’t she just a love-brained girl who can’t walk straight when she sees a handsome guy??”
“Heh.” Jiang Xia sneered, “You’re the best at being sarcastic, White Dragon First.”
“Dedenne~~~” Dedenne decisively chimed in.
Huohuo put her hands behind her back, jogged a few steps in the corridor, stopped in front of the president and Jiang Xia, and said: “It won’t be me soon. This year’s Class A has two sarcastic old-timers. I’m leaving soon. I won’t be in charge of these junior students anymore~~”
“What? Don’t suddenly say things like that, okay? There’s still a stay-behind old person here.” Jiang Xia laughed and said.
“Class F is here. You two tidy up; it’s time to go in.” The president remained as cold as ever, completely unmoved by their conversation.

Class F at this time.
“Awesome! Brother Chuan is awesome!!”
“Well said, Brother Chuan!!”
“Oh~~Oh~~~~ It’s lit! I’m already lit!!”
Wang Wenchuan, standing at the podium, had his brows tightly furrowed.
He could understand the hooting.
But
I haven’t even started speaking yet!!!
“Ahem.” Wang Wenchuan cleared his throat twice, glanced down at the manuscript in his hand, and then began to read.
“Respected teacher, dear classmates, good morning everyone. The position I’m running for today is Class Monitor. I am a cheerful person. I have many hobbies, such as football, basketball. If I am elected Class Monitor, I will definitely”
Silence.
Eerie silence.
All the hooting little brothers were instantly embarrassed.
“Brother Chuan is aw”
“Awesome!!”
“Haha… hahaha… What are you all stunned for? Clap, hurry up and clap! Brother Chuan is done speaking!”
A little fatty sitting in the middle reminded them, and the class immediately erupted in thunderous applause. In terms of momentum, it surpassed Class A, and in duration, it was longer than Class A’s too.
The Student Council President, who had been at the door for five minutes, gave no evaluation and directly got up and left.
Wang Wenchuan had a bunch of little brothers, but there was really nothing much in his belly. Back in junior high, he was a delinquent who fought all the time. He might have toned it down a bit at White Dragon, but his nature hadn’t changed.
That speech just now
Wasn’t even enough to get into the Student Union as an ordinary Officer.
“Alright, let’s go back. Let’s check the reports from the other Officers.” The president said.
“Not going to Class B?” Jiang Xia asked.
“I glanced when we passed by earlier; the Class Monitor Election was already over. I’m not interested in the rest.” The president said.

Class A.
The Class Committee Member selection had ended.
Study Committee Member Lin Ping, Class Monitor Zuo Hang, Sports Committee Member Yuan Wenfeng, Disciplinary Committee Member is a male foreign student.
Xingye, who also ran for Disciplinary Committee Member, only got a pitiful three votes: one from Zuo Hang, one from Zuo Rou, and probably one from himself.
“Good, then Class A’s Class Committee Members are temporarily these people. There are a few minutes until class ends. If anyone has questions, you can ask. Things outside of the Class Committee Member election are fine too.” Teacher Xi Ran spoke in her familiar manner, asking everyone if there were any questions.
Lin Ping in the front row raised his hand.
“I’ve always been concerned about Contribution Points. Besides the end-of-month final settlement, are there no other ways to earn points?”
Teacher Xi Ran immediately replied, “There are, of course there are. Public Screen duels with prerequisites, on-campus and off-campus arenas, casino, auction house, part-time jobs—there are too many ways. Do I really need to list them all for you? It’s been a week since school started, and you’ve just been wandering around campus? Academy Island is so big. Don’t tell me you haven’t been anywhere except going off-campus for dinner at night.”
“Very good, no one is speaking. Looks like you really haven’t been anywhere else. My disappointment in you has reached new heights. Whether in the past or future, there probably won’t be a Class A worse than your batch.”
After saying that, the bell hadn’t rung yet, but Teacher Xi Ran had already left the classroom.
Arena, casino.
Zuo Hang had scoured all of White Dragon the day before school started. He’d seen the arena and auction house off-campus. There was one on the main section of Nanchuan East Road, the most bustling place. But he’d truly never seen a casino, neither on-campus nor off-campus. And the school grounds actually had a casino?? Sending a bunch of 15- and 16-year-old first-year high school freshmen to a casino didn’t seem appropriate no matter how you looked at it?
And
If going to the casino…
Won’t the Disciplinary Department do anything about it?
Since Xi Ran said there was, there definitely was. Although she seemed listless overall, what Teacher Xi Ran said was still reliable.
Zuo Hang had only seen arenas off-campus; on-campus there were only Training Halls and Pokémon Centers.
“Xingye.” Zuo Hang patted Xingye in front of him and said: “Have you been to the on-campus arena?”
“Duh, I was just wondering too. There’s an arena on campus? I’ve never seen one anyway. Why not ask Huohuo??”
“Sure.”
With that, both took out their terminals.
Zuo Hang typed: “Asking real quick, where’s the arena inside the school?”
Xingye typed: “Mom, I wanna go to the arena~”
Zuo Hang: “???”
After the Small Forest incident last time, Xingye said things like “Aba aba… From now on, you’re my reborn parents.”
Then Huohuo went along with it.
From then on, Xingye had to address her with kinship terms when contacting her; even the note was changed to “Good Son”.
“You got this. Licking is still your specialty,” Zuo Hang said.
“Heh, if I didn’t like it, who would bother… Just kidding, I have a fiancée. After graduation, I’ll go back and get married.”
Today is another day of begging for votes~
