Chapter 13: Just Tell Me You’re The Vice President
Student Union.
This place, purely relying on the election absolutely gives no opportunity to get in; those who can enter Class A are all shrewd people. More than half are probably eyeing the Student Union, and it’s estimated quite a few have already started connecting with Student Union officers.
“In White Dragon Academy, contribution points can buy anything.”
Teacher Xi Ran said this in the morning.
Zuo Hang’s terminal has only one contact, Jiang Xia.
Zuo Rou and Hoshino Ryuji are QQ friends, but they haven’t exchanged terminal accounts with each other.
White Dragon Academy’s “Black Terminal” has an independent ID number, directly saved in the device’s memory, and Jiang Xia’s ID is directly saved in the device, probably saved when Jiang Xia handed the terminal to him.
“I’m your guiding senior student; you can ask me anything you don’t understand.” Jiang Xia said this when they first met.
White Dragon Academy has a high degree of freedom; teachers won’t overly interfere in students’ lives. Before you get familiar with the teachers, the guiding senior student basically acts as half a homeroom teacher.
So
Zuo Hang straightforwardly sent Jiang Xia a message:
“Can Student Union information be traded?”
On the other side.
Training Hall No. 5.
Jiang Xia had just finished morning training, took out the terminal, and planned to take a beautiful selfie in front of the training room mirror.
“Ding~” The terminal chimed once.
【High-cold junior student sent you a message】
A short-haired girl suddenly leaned over, “Yo?! High-cold junior student?! With a note?”
Jiang Xia was stunned; the terminal was already snatched by a certain round eggshell that suddenly jumped up.
“Good grab! Togepi, toss it to me!”
“Chaa heei! Duuui~~~”
Togepi’s little stubby hands lifted, and the terminal drew a parabola in mid-air, landing in the short-haired girl’s hands. “Can Student Union information be traded? Whoa, as expected of the high-cold junior student, not even sending ‘are you there?'”
“Lü Shuo, I see you’re itching for it! Dedenne, Rage Fang!”
Dedenne, who was playing with a wild Rattata in the corner of the training room, froze.
Rage Fang?
Bite what?
The Rattata?
That wouldn’t be good; with this one bite, this Rattata probably wouldn’t survive.
“Dumb rat! What are you looking at? I didn’t tell you to bite the Rattata! Bite that woman! Staring blankly all day!”
Dedenne shook its head helplessly; again with this bestie battle.
Electric Current skill light lit up on its body; Dedenne quickly darted to the short-haired girl’s shoulder, leaped from there, and chomped a weakened Rage Fang on the terminal. Dedenne completed the terminal snatching task, and with two nimble jumps, hopped onto Jiang Xia’s shoulder and returned the terminal to her.
“Duui!! Duui!!”
Her own snatched item was snatched back; Togepi immediately wasn’t happy, pointing its little stubby finger at Dedenne, looking ready for a one-on-one.
Dedenne jumped down from Jiang Xia’s shoulder, with a spark of electric arc on its cheeks.
Togepi assumed a battle stance, merging its two hands, a mass of brown primal power appearing in its palms.
Dedenne didn’t seem inclined to fight, its big watery eyes gazing intently at Togepi.
Dedenne used Charm.
—Charm: Stare at the opponent with cute eyes, thereby lowering their guard.
“Togepi! Don’t fall for it!” Lü Shuo warned, but Togepi showed no reaction, already lost in Dedenne’s gaze.
The two Pokémon gradually drew closer.
Dedenne gave Togepi a hug, and the electric arc on its cheeks lit up at that moment.
Dedenne used Draining Kiss; a weak electric current coursed over Togepi’s body.
“Chaa~~ heei~~~ duu~~ duu~ eei~~~” Togepi’s legs kicked out, and it fell to the ground motionless; she was paralyzed.
Draining Kiss: Power 20, attack by rubbing electrified cheeks against the opponent; has a chance to paralyze on hit.
“Your Togepi hasn’t improved after two weeks of training…” Jiang Xia had at some point taken the terminal and retreated to the doorway: “See ya, Shuo Shuo. This one doesn’t count as an official battle. Hope you get a chance to beat me this new semester. Let’s go, Dedenne~”
Dedenne, who had just rubbed cheeks with Togepi, waved at the Rattata in the corner, indicating it would come back in the evening.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xia returned to the dormitory.
“Can Student Union information be traded?” She softly read the message on the terminal.
It can be traded, but this junior student is indeed a bit aloof, just like Lü Shuo said—not even sending “are you there?”
“President’s information 10k, vice president’s 8k, others all 2k.” Replying coldly to coldness, Jiang Xia responded matter-of-factly.
“Good grief, asking right off the bat? Who has 10k right at the start of school?”
“Good grief, this attitude when asking for a favor? Call me something nice, and senior sister will tell you for free~”
Zuo Hang on the other side of the screen pondered for a moment, then directly called.
Kids type; adults communicate directly by voice.
The terminal rang twice; Jiang Xia hesitated, then answered the call.
Zuo Hang thought about how to address her, and two seconds later, he spoke.
“Senior sister.”
“Hm?”
“Alright, I called you. Can you give it to me for free now?”
“???”
Jiang Xia’s hand gripping the terminal unconsciously tightened.
“Senior sister didn’t hear~ Call again~”
“Senior sister.”
“Call again.”
“.”
After five or six back-and-forths, Jiang Xia felt she hadn’t heard enough, but Zuo Hang had an urge to smash his phone.
“Six ‘senior sisters’ for president’s information—not too much, right?” Zuo Hang asked, frowning.
If she refused again, sorry, mutual delete it was; a proper trainer never needs a useless senior sister.
Jiang Xia said, “Actually, the president’s information isn’t that useful. I’ll give you the vice president’s instead. The vice president is easier to talk to. Although this term’s vice president doesn’t plan to give up her position, she has a good relationship with the president. Get on good terms with the vice president, have her say a few good words for you in front of the president, and the election is basically secured.”
“This president isn’t that rigid type, is she?” Zuo Hang asked.
“Yeah, super rigid. Imagine: uniform every day, black-rimmed glasses, flat top haircut, with a listless Magnemite by her side.”
“Okay, stop. I’ve got the picture. Just tell me about the vice president.”
Jiang Xia on the other side of the terminal showed a conspiratorial smile of success. “Vice president’s intel is a lot; get a paper to take notes.”
“Got it.” Zuo Hang opened the textbook he had used that morning.
Jiang Xia took a deep breath, smile unwavering. “White Dragon Academy Student Council Vice President, Jiang Xia, class: second-year Class A, personal comprehensive evaluation scores: S-rank 9 times, A-rank 15 times, B-rank 5 times. Common Pokémon: Dedenne, Gible, Ice Ninetales. Likes high-cold handsome guys, favorite food: Uni’s lemon candies.”
