Chapter 30: No One Actually Believes That “hating Evil” Nonsense, Right?
Academy Island, a massive artificial island jointly funded by multiple countries.
White Dragon High School, a multi-country joint venture trainer academy led primarily by China.
Student Union, an extremely powerful leadership group within White Dragon Academy, wielding authority that surpasses some teachers.
The successor to the Student Council President position is decided by the current Student Council President, and after the principal personally signs off, the person selected by the current president can officially be elected as Student Council President.
At this moment, the several 15- or 16-year-old boys and girls standing in the meeting room all possessed maturity and intellect far beyond their age group.
Since White Dragon was founded, the Student Union has always been managed by the most capable people in the school.
Even for the 2024 batch of officers like Jiang Xia, Huohuo, and Han Dao, they pulled a lot of strings when joining the Student Union. But these people were indeed impeccable in personal ability, whether as trainers or as leaders in the Student Union.
Before entering the Student Union, they were as cautious in speech and action as the president said every day, but that was before; once in the Student Union, there was no need to watch anyone else’s face anymore, including certain teachers.
Zuo Hang and the president didn’t fight; the hand on the president’s shoulder was withdrawn, and the electric current on Pikachu’s cheeks also went out. Amid the stunned gazes of everyone in the room, Zuo Hang left the meeting room.
After a few seconds of silence, Huohuo spoke first.
“Just like you back then, president.”
“Me? I’m not that sarcastic.”
“Haha, even if not, it’s close enough.” The Discipline Committee Member said: “I remember it very clearly; you had that exact arrogant look back then, president. Though that kid looks more pleasing than you—after all, his looks are better than yours. President, rest in peace. During the election, it’s a school-wide vote; even if you don’t like that kid, handsome guys can pull in a lot of votes just on looks.”
“Heh. Sure enough, the world judges by faces; this is too real. Chill with rage—when will the president ever stand up!” Huohuo joked.
With Zuo Hang gone, the president was far less serious than a few minutes ago; there was naturally no need to keep a straight face with his own people.
The president said: “High votes don’t matter; me pushing him up doesn’t matter. What matters is how the principal sees it. Oh right, how’s that kid’s adaptability with Reshiram?”
“Zero.” Jiang Xia, who had been standing by the door without speaking the whole time, said.
“Zero? Good grief, there really is someone with zero adaptability. Interesting; I’m a bit expectant to see how the principal views this guy.” The president said.

He didn’t know what they said after Zuo Hang left, but Zuo Hang had confirmed one thing.
Yesterday’s 5 Class E students were given expulsion only after Student Union review, meaning the Student Union really had the authority to expel regular students, and they could also access surveillance footage within the school and casually summon other classmates.
Tsk.
Compared to the Student Union from Zuo Hang’s previous life, who bowed and scraped to teachers, this was on a completely different level.
White Dragon High School—this place was getting more and more interesting.

That noon, the Student Union issued a notice.
【The Disciplinary Department received multiple reports from 2:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. today claiming that student number 250831001 Zuo Hang maliciously harmed a trainer and their Pokémon last night. After Student Union investigation, student number 250831001 Zuo Hang showed no delinquent behavior】
【Regarding the vicious incident that occurred on Sports Field No. 1 last night, the Student Union Disciplinary Department will continue investigating. Please rest assured, students; the Disciplinary Department has the ability to ensure every student’s safety within the academy】
【Above】
Zuo Hang naturally received this notice as well.
It seemed his morning behavior hadn’t completely offended the Student Union to death; otherwise, they wouldn’t have issued this notice. Of course… it’s also possible the Student Union really was a group of upright people who handle cases impartially.
However
That Darkrai was his; the morning sophistry was just based on the other side having no evidence.
Zuo Hang thought his suspicion would take some time to clear, but they issued the notice by noon.
What was this? A gesture of goodwill?
Zuo Hang didn’t think that poker-faced president would show him goodwill, so… the meaning of this notice was somewhat ambiguous and could be interpreted in various ways.
Not representing the president personally, but an olive branch from the Student Union as a whole?
Or an olive branch thrown personally by the Discipline Committee Member in charge of reviewing the case?
If he joined, it would definitely be as president; he had no interest in the Discipline Committee Member title.
Zuo Hang checked; aside from the Vice President, the other positions in this Student Union didn’t seem to intend to stay on, so that Discipline Committee Member olive branch was purely him overthinking. You’re all leaving, so what’s the point in pulling me under you as a little officer?
Or did that Han Dao want Zuo Hang to run directly for Discipline Committee Member?
Zuo Hang suddenly recalled what he said that morning.
——”My little one has loved acting bravely for a just cause since young, and hates evil like it’s an enemy. Facing that kind of Pokémon that deliberately harms people at night, he’d definitely give it a lesson…”
“Pika~”
No way, sir—did someone really buy that hating evil like an enemy nonsense?
Zuo Hang shuddered all over.
That Discipline Committee Member seemed pretty smart, but turns out they really were a justice partner. Sure enough, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
“What are you doing?” Zuo Rou suddenly waved her hand in front of Zuo Hang.
Zuo Hang came back to his senses. “Huh? Nothing.”
Zuo Rou said: “You just had this expression like you were outsmarting the air. Hey! Stinky little brother! That big puddle of people on the sports field yesterday—was that really Darkrai’s doing?”
What the heck?
What kind of expression is outsmarting the air?
Zuo Hang was stunned and said: “What big puddle of people? I don’t know…”
“Hah, stinky little brother! Not even telling your sister the truth?! You’re done! Don’t even think about getting your sister’s body. I was even planning to tonight…”
Zuo Hang: “???”
At this time, a handsome guy with a Snowy Child passed by Class 2-B.
“Snowy Child, keep looking tonight. Given your tragic encounter yesterday, if you run into scum, don’t rush in yourself—wait for me to arrive before acting, got it?”
The Snowy Child on Xingye’s shoulder nodded.
Class 2-B, the class of the current Discipline Committee Member Han Dao.
Huohuo had scouted quite a few good seedlings in Class 1-A, including Xingye Ryuji. This guy happened to be interested in the Student Union, so Huohuo shared some Student Union intel with him and conveniently got 2000 contribution points from this junior student—counting as extra income for the Student Union.
Compared to Jiang Xia the black-hearted merchant, her intel was much cheaper; 2000 contribution points was absolutely worth it, even including the three measurements of the female officers.
In Huohuo’s intel, Han Dao was a humble guy with a strong sense of justice; people like that were usually easy to get along with. Xingye had been hunting down those rule-breaking scum these past two days precisely to catch the Discipline Committee Member’s attention.
（ps: Wait, two more updates coming~）
Folks around here call the Student Council President the Student Union Chair usually, but I’m afraid writing “chair” would get me banned.
