Chapter 54: But I am the class chairman!
Translator: SkyfarrowEditor: Skyfarrow
The wheel of red fire, the sun slowly sank down on the west side of the mountain range.
Its light was not eye-piercing, but it was a sort of bright and gentle ray.
The west sky was dyed a shade of blushful red, the sunset glow continuously spreading out. It was just like an imperial concubine who had just been rewarded, happily crowding around the emperor, wanting to sleep together with him. (1)
Qing Mao Mountain was engulfed entirely in a sea of rose red colour. Each of the tall-pillared buildings and houses were also draped over with a layer of golden yarn.
The surrounding forest planted around the academy seemed like it was wiped with a faint stratum of oil. The wind blew slowly, and as the students walked out of the classroom with their bosoms carrying the primeval stones that were just passed out, they were in a relaxed and calm state of mind.
”I really don’t know what Fang Yuan is thinking, to actually give up on the role of class chairman!”
”Heh heh heh, his brain is fried. I bet he thinks of killing people all day, let’s not concern ourselves with this kind of crazy guy.”
”Come to think of it, that day when he burst into the academy I was really freaked out. It was just so terrifying, I had a nightmare on the day itself after I went home.”
The students were in groups of twos and threes as they walked.
”Good day class chairman.”
”Mmm.”
”Greetings class chairman.”
”Mhmm.”
Gu Yue Mo Bei swaggered around as he walked, and wherever he went the students would bow and greet him without exception.
His face was unable to stifle the expressions of excitement and infatuation.
This was the fascination of authority itself.
Even if it was just a tiny bit of difference in status, it could also make a person even more confident in his own self worth.
Right now as the dying sun looked as red as blood, Mo Bei watched it while his heart sang, ”How is it that I have never realised before, this sunset’s rosiness sure is adorable…”
”Hmph, going head over heels just because of becoming a chairman, as if it’s so amazing.” Gu Yue Chi Cheng purposely walked behind, since he just didn’t want to greet Gu Yue Mo Bei at all.
”I really have no idea what Fang Yuan is thinking about, to think he actually let go of the position of chairman. However it’s also a good thing, or else me as the third, how could I have been able to obtain the role of vice chairman?” Gu Yue Chi Cheng was confused in his heart, but he also felt happiness and relief.
”Good day vice chairman.” At this moment a normal student walked past him and immediately bowed to greet him.
”Heh heh, good day to you too.” Gu Yue Chi Cheng instantly nodded, his face full of smiles.
Once the student was gone, Chi Cheng naturally thought, ”The taste of vice chairman is rather pleasant. I’m sure the feeling of being the class chairman is even better. If only I was not the vice chairman, but the chairman himself, how good that would be!”
The Chi Cheng who had just been rejoicing earlier was now already filled with insatiable greed, starting to amass expectations for the role of class chairman.
Under the system of the clan, each rank that was higher than the last was just like a carrot getting bigger than the previous one, deeply enticing him.
”Although I am only a C grade talent, but I believe that everything will get better and better.” Gu Yue Chi Cheng was full of hope for his future.
However right now, the other vice chairman Gu Yue Fang Zheng was feeling very much terrible in his heart, his face expression also quite unsightly.
”Big brother, you!” He looked wide-eyed with disbelief at the academy’s gate entrance, where a lone figure stood.
”Old rules as usual, every person one piece of primeval stone.” Fang Yuan stood while hugging his arms, his tone dull.
Fang Zheng’s mouth opened and closed a few times, then after some moments of effort he finally said, ”Big brother, but I am the vice chairman now!”
”That’s true.” Fang Yuan was expressionless as he nodded, giving Fang Zheng an indifferent look, ”The vice chairman receives an allowance of five pieces each time. So you should give up three pieces instead.”
Fang Zheng was flabbergasted, and for a moment he was unable to say a word.
A group of teenagers were crowding around Gu Yue Mo Bei as they walked over.
When they saw Fang Yuan blocking the school gate entrance, Gu Yue Mo Bei flew into a rage, his finger pointing towards Fang Yuan. ”Fang Yuan! You sure have the guts to actually still dare hold us back?! Right now I am the chairman, and as a normal student when you see me, you should first bow and greet me!”
What answered him next was Fang Yuan’s fist.
Gu Yue Mo Bei was caught unexpected. After being hit by the fist, he could not refrain from retreating a few big steps backwards, his face full of disbelief. ”You hit me, you actually dared to hit me? I am but the chairman!”
What answered him again was still Fang Yuan’s fists.
Bang, bang, bang.
After a few rounds of exchanging offensive and defensive blows, Gu Yue Mo Bei was knocked down to the floor by Fang Yuan, and he fell unconscious.
The surrounding youths were all wide-eyed as they watched, all of them unsure of how to react for a moment.
This was totally different from their imaginations!
The guards at the gate entrance had also been watching everything that happened under their eyelids. They could not help but whisper among themselves.
”Fang Yuan just knocked down the new class chairman, what do we do?”
”Salad dressing!” (2)
”What do you mean?”
”It means just watch them, then call some other guys and tidy up the place.”
”But…”
”Hey hey, you want to provoke a person like Fang Yuan? I hope you remember what happened to Wang Da and Wu Er!”
The questioning guard immediately quivered and stopped saying anymore.
