Chapter 184: Voting Session (First update, requesting everything)

Zhao Shuyi, Li Zhangsheng, or Xu Xiangzhi—who would be the best choice?

Apart from those who had already been lobbied, the rest of the Elite Class Members were instantly conflicted.

In terms of strength, there was little difference between the three, and all had the potential to compete for the title of top freshman.

In terms of impression, the one who left the deepest impression was Li Zhangsheng; he had once defeated Luo Jie while at a lower rank, stunning everyone, and his Savage Sword-Toothed Tiger had left an extremely profound impression on people.

In terms of charisma, Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi were both at the top level and were the male and female idols in many people's hearts; as for Xu Xiangzhi, although he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people an impression of being robust and powerful, he clearly paled in comparison to the other two.

In terms of personality, Li Zhangsheng treated others gently, giving people the feeling of a modest gentleman, mild and moist like jade; Zhao Shuyi was quiet, gentle, and generous, getting along well with many girls; as for Xu Xiangzhi, he had acted very aggressively from the first day of school, yet gave people a feeling of overbearing arrogance, which aroused the resentment of many.

Overall, Li Zhangsheng had the greatest advantage, Zhao Shuyi was slightly behind, and Xu Xiangzhi was undoubtedly at the bottom.

However, in any world, appearance is justice, especially in the eyes of passersby, whose first impression is often based on looks. Although Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi were both top-tier in this regard, the Elite Class was dominated by boys, with only 8 girls including Zhao Shuyi, so Zhao Shuyi naturally had a significant advantage here.

This was also the reason why Li Zhangsheng was lobbying everywhere; this was the disadvantage of gender. Just like in many ordinary classes, when people don't know each other, even if you are brilliant in writing and your speech is flawless, covering every aspect, as long as a beauty is competing with you for the same position, the final choice is often that beauty.

Of course, there were also many passersby who voted with their feet.

When making their decisions, almost everyone released a Mental Barrier to avoid being spied on by others; they didn't want to offend anyone easily.

Soon, everyone made their choice and placed their folded small pieces of white paper on the podium one after another; these were secret ballots.

As the three candidates, Li Zhangsheng and the others naturally did not have the right to vote, so there were a total of 22 votes.

"This student, you come and count them!" Instructor Lu Qian pointed casually at Li Jingyi, who was closest.

"Yes, Instructor!"

Li Jingyi revealed a look of joy and hurried to the podium; this was a rare opportunity, and if she could leave an impression on Vice Principal Xu and the four instructors, it might bring her some benefits.

"Zhao Shuyi, one vote!"

Zhao Shuyi got off to a good start; due to the Elite Class's structure of more boys than girls, her popularity with passersby gave her a significant advantage, not to mention that she herself had lobbied a group of people, such as the two girls who had fought the snake pack with her back then.

Well, they had also become Elite Class Members.

"Li Zhangsheng, one vote!" Li Zhangsheng followed closely behind.

"This one, abstention!"

Li Jingyi paused; not a single word was written on it, so what else could it be but an abstention.

"Li Zhangsheng, one vote!"

"Zhao Shuyi, one vote!"

While reading aloud, Li Jingyi tallied the votes for the three on the blackboard—no, it should be two, as Xu Xiangzhi had not received a single vote yet.

As time passed, Xu Xiangzhi's complexion grew worse and worse; Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi had both received seven or eight votes, yet he hadn't received a single one, and there were only a few white papers left.

If no one voted for him, how would that be any different from a slap in the face, especially since his grandfather was still on the scene.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiangzhi secretly observed his grandfather.

Vice Principal Xu still looked calm and collected; his senses were very keen, and he instantly noticed Xu Xiangzhi's gaze, turning to look at Xu Xiangzhi with an expressionless face.

This look seemed to have nothing unusual about it, but Xu Xiangzhi, who was familiar with Vice Principal Xu, shivered; things had blown up, and Vice Principal Xu was very angry.

Xu Xiangzhi was his direct grandson; if he couldn't even secure a single vote, then he, Xu Wenhua, would also lose face. He couldn't vent his anger on the innocent Elite Class Members, only on his grandson.

*This foolish grandson, your popularity is so poor that you haven't even received a single vote; you are really not bringing any honor to your grandfather. Wait until we get back, see if I don't teach you a lesson and make you remember this. *

Well, that was how Xu Xiangzhi interpreted it.

Under Xu Xiangzhi's trembling gaze, soon, only the last white paper remained on the podium; at this time, Li Zhangsheng and Zhao Shuyi had both received 9 votes, while Xu Xiangzhi was still at zero, and the last vote undoubtedly became the key.

*Pick me, pick me, I must become the Elite Class Monitor!! *

Zhao Shuyi shouted internally; the Elite Class Monitor position seemed to have no substantial help for her, but she could use it to improve her status in the clan and obtain more resource allocation.

Zhao Shuyi was born into a Famous Clan and was the daughter of the Zhao Clan Leader, but her status in the clan was very awkward, just like how Luo Jie had mocked her to her face with the Thousand Mechanism Fan, "Bah, your mother is a maid"; her mother was a maid, and she was the product of her mother being favored by a drunken Clan Leader.

The infighting in the Zhao Clan was very serious, and her father never favored her, which led to her low status in the clan, suffering from the cold shoulders and discrimination of her clansmen; when she was ten, her mother passed away, making her situation even more awkward.

Being a child of the Clan Leader, Zhao Shuyi had to rely on herself from a young age, unlike her brothers and sisters who could rely on the clan or their mother's family for help; fortunately, she was favored by heaven and luckily contracted a top-grade Three-Tailed Snow Fox, which finally eased her status in the clan.

Even so, her status remained awkward, and the resources she obtained were still far inferior to her brothers and sisters.

To prove herself, Zhao Shuyi did not choose the Royal Academy, known as the "First Academy," but came to the declining Yuanling Academy, wanting to prove herself here and thereby improve her status in the clan.

Her first step was to become a flagship figure among the freshmen, and the Elite Class Monitor was her first goal, but as a result, she met Li Zhangsheng, and the other party became the biggest stumbling block on her path forward.

Xu Xiangzhi was also very nervous; he wanted to break his duck, so that he would look better, but if he still couldn't break it in the end, he dared not imagine the consequences.

Xu Xiangzhi now deeply regretted running for class monitor!

Compared to the two of them, Li Zhangsheng's mindset was much better; he had already done the best he could, and even if he lost in the end, he would have no regrets.

However, Li Zhangsheng still stared intently at Li Jingyi, who was about to speak on the podium.
