Chapter 319 - The Victor (2/2)

Tang Wulin turned to look at her, only to be met with a sweet smile. He didn't bother trying to decline modestly. Sometimes, one just had to accept the responsibility.

Shen Yi nodded, then directed her attention to Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan. “Normally, we only take into consideration who's left standing at the end. Although you two showed remarkable power, it isn't enough. You both survived, so you have two choices: insist on your candidacy for vice-president, or step back. Let me remind you that there's a reselection for cla.s.s representatives once every term, and strength will always be the decider.”

“I'll give up,” Xu Xiaoyan instantly said. She had a clear understanding of her abilities. To further drive in her resignation, she walked into the crowd to join the spectators, finding her position at Luo Guixing's side.

The corner of Xie Xie's mouth twitched as he watched her leave.

That girl's acting is the real deal!

“I give up too!” Although he hesitated for a moment, Xie Xie resolved himself. “But I'm sure that I'll one day be able to be a challenger for president or vice-president!”

An eerie calm settled upon him, his demeanor unlike his normal jittery one. On the battlefield, he had gained a deeper comprehension of his position. Each time an opponent stronger than him appeared, it stimulated him to improve faster.

Shen Yi regarded them calmly. “So you both choose the second option. Since the two of you lasted until the end and chose to give up on being the vice-presidents, you will be rewarded with two thousand contribution points to distribute among you two. As for filling the remaining vice-president seat… Wu Siduo, would you like to take the position?”

Wu Siduo glanced at Gu Yue, then Tang Wulin. She drew a deep breath. “I'll do it!”

Shen Yi smiled. “Good. Then everything is settled. The cla.s.s president is Tang Wulin, and the two vice-presidents are Gu Yue and Wu Siduo.”

This was the best scenario she could have hoped for. While Xie Xie was by no means weak, he couldn't compare with Wu Siduo. If not a single one of the five genius rankers held a position as a cla.s.s representative, the entire cla.s.s would be stricken with restlessness. With Wu Siduo, the strongest of the rankers, as a vice-president, the rest would be too intimidated to throw a big fuss. At the very least, discontent would be curbed.

“We'll hold compet.i.tions for the remaining three representative positions accordingly. The blacksmiths representative is already settled, with Tang Wulin being both cla.s.s president and the blacksmith representative, so this leaves the mecha designers, makers, and mechanics. Now, would all designers, makers, and mechanics rank two and above come sign up to compete.”

Tang Wulin listened, his body language the picture of tranquility. He occupied two of the seven representative positions. He had a firm standing in the cla.s.s now. Besides that, he obtained a deeper understanding of his cla.s.smates thanks to the battle for presidency.

Gu Yue left his side and walked over to sign up.

She's trying to be the designer representative?

Not a beat later, Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, and Xu Yucheng also went to register.

As members of the Genius Youths Ranking, they were both strong and skilled in their professions. Only Yang Nianxia remained still as he directed an awkward smile at Tang Wulin.

“Junior brother, you really know how to act lowkey!”

Tang Wulin smiled. “I was just lucky. If Xu Yucheng hadn't been so exhausted, I don't think I could have won.”

Yang Nianxia shook his head. “You can't be so sure about that.”

“Anyone who isn't signing up for the profession compet.i.tions can leave now. Cla.s.s is over. Meet back here for cla.s.s tomorrow,” Shen Yi announced.

A chuckle escaped Yang Nianxia's lips. “Let's go then, oh great cla.s.s president. Take good care of me in the future!”

Tang Wulin smiled wryly. “Let's look after each other.”

Tang Wulin understood how important it was to obtain the approval of his cla.s.smates as cla.s.s president, but it was a gradual process, one more in tune with coaxing than force. He would take things slowly for now.
