Chapter 50: Student Union President's Election

Translator:KingbaoEditor:DarkGem

The announcement repeated three times, andGu Shucheng finally halted, leading her to the Teacher Appreciation Hall.

This placewasn't far from the reporting area,andafter a short few minutes, they reached a gigantic circular building. When they entered, the hall was already packed to the brim with around a hundred thousandstudents. There was no question about this school being the 'first'.

Gu Shucheng led Yao Si towards the left side of the hall and was fortunate enough to finda front row seat. The otherseats were almost fully occupied, with the surrounding students dressed in the same green uniform as her.

However, Gu Shucheng,who sat to her right,was dressed in blue. After they satdown, Yao Si could vaguely sense that the other students had quietened, their gazespeeking over at them.

Yao Si scanned her surroundings. The Teacher Appreciation Hallcould be separated into three sections. The extreme left was dressed in the same green uniform as her, the section in the middle had a yellow and white uniform, while the section on the right was dressed in the same blue uniform Gu Shucheng. It probably served as a distinction for the three school levels.

"You can go on if you're busy." Nephew Gu was probably from the high school level, so she couldn't possibly make him sit with her at the elementary level."Don't worry! I'll be fine by myself."

Gu Shucheng hesitated slightly, but he seemed to really have something to tend to, for after a short while he nodded."I'll come get Your Highness once the ceremony ends."

"Right, right, hurrynow."

Reluctantly, he stood upand walked away, though he still sent several glances full of worry back at her.Yet instead of heading to the right side of thehall, he walked toward the stage at thefront.

Ah?

Before Yao Si could process thisinformation,she was tugged at by the person beside her.

"Student, what's your relationship with the president of the student union?" agirl from another race with two antennas on her head asked curiosuly.

Yao Si stilled."President of the student union?!"Gu Shucheng?

"Yea!" The girl's curiosity deepened, and those around also turned to stare at Yao Si."Before Icame to report, Iheard some seniors sayingthat Senior Gu hasbeen president for the past fiveterms. During each of the fiveelections, he won with100% of the votes. I'm sure this time will be no exception."

Little Sudent Gu is a model student that excelsin both his moral conduct and education?

"Yes,yes," another female student added."Tell us more, when didyou guys meet?"

"We met today," Yao Si replied honestly.

The surrounding students stilled, their gazesturning complex, especiallythose ofthe girls. Infuriated,one asked,"Stop kidding, how could he be so nice to you if it's the first time you met? Everyone knows that Senior Gu is a bloodling, and they don't ever interact with anyone outside their race, yet he personally brought you over. What's your relationship?"

"Er...He's my nephew." Nephew Gu seemed to be rather popular.

The girl thathadspoke froze. "You...you're a bloodling!"

Before Yao Si could nod, the girl beside her with hair tied into buns smirked."How could it be? I haven't heard about new bloodlingenrolling into the academy.Couldn't you have founda better excuse, really."She glanced at Yao Si coldly, her tone soaked with envyand hatred. "Heh, so you know Senior Gu? What's the big deal, if you don't want to share it, just forget it."

Er...She already told them!

"That's right, that's right!" another student in the front agreed."Bloodlings don't need to take the school entrance exam, they can just automatically enroll into the high school level. Why would they come to the elementary school."

"What did you say?"Why didn't Iknow about that?(⊙_⊙)

"It has always been like that," the girl said. Shethen addedafter a moment, "Bloodlings with awakened abilities are considered Triple-Slevel, so they enterhigh schoolright away. Normal people like use are able to only enter theelementary school which doesn't require an entrance exam."

"..." Does that meanthatthe three months of hard work shehadput in for the entrance exam which she failed, because of which she was forcedto enter the elementary school,wereall in vain?

"Let the election begin!"

The voice startled the students, and theyhurriedly sat back down with their backs straight as they looked toward the stage. Yao Si could vaguely make out a figure heading to the middle of the stage when a soft gentle voice filled the hall.

[Galactic Academy's opening ceremony shall commence! We shall now start with the student union election!]

That isfast!

Yao Si strongly approved of such a direct system thatskipped the draggy speeches that would put one to sleep.She looked at the stage andrealizedthat moststudents were in either yellow or blue uniforms, which meant that they were either from the middle school or the high school. There were also about four to five senior teachers who stood at the back with no intentions ofcoming forward.

This was similar to what Mu Xuan had mentioned previously. Students held high authority in the current schools of the Galaxy,andthe teachers wouldn't interfere unless necessary.

[Accordingto tradition, the president candidateswill be chosenby the members of the previous student union before the student body will cast their votes!]

After the emcee explained the instructions, about ten students on stage began to write down the name of the person they wanted to elect. In less than a minute, the emcee headed toward the previous student union members, starting from the one at the left.

"Vice-president Zhao, who would you like to elect?"

"Gu Shucheng."

"Department Head Qian, who would you like to elect?"

"Gu Shucheng."

"Department head Sun,who would you like to elect?"

"Gu Shucheng."

"Department Head Li, who would you like to elect?"

"Gu Shucheng."

"DepartmentHead Tian..."

There were noexceptions, Gu Shucheng's name flashed on the screen continuously.

Yao Si sighed.Nephew Gu must be a high flyer in the academy!

"Chairman Gu, who would you like to elect?"

"Yao Si."

Cough,cough!

Yao Si almost choked.

F*ck! Nephew Gu, what's your issue!

But it was too late, on the huge screen on the main stage, large letters of the common language formed her name.

[Yao Si]

Σ(°△°|||)︴

The moment the two words flashed on the screen, the hall erupted in chatter and confusion as everyone scanned the hall trying to figure out who was Yao Si.

Her face twitched, and she wonderedif there was still time for her to escape.

"Hehehe...This-this is the first time there is another candidate other than President Gu." The emcee seemed startled. After a moment of silence, she hurriedly swept her gaze over the audience."Congratulatons Yao Si, please come up onto thestage."

The next moment, the futuristic technology was flaunted to perfection. The screen flashed, and a picture of her was displayed on the stage.

Yao Si cursed internally!

"Oh, so it's a new student from the elementarylevel," the emcee introduced.

Yao Si could feel the eyes of the entire hall full of people turning in her direction. The sister beside her with two buns on her head was gazing blankly with her mouth open wider than the topknots of her hair.

It was too late to escape. Yao Si had no other option. Enduring the uncomfortable gazesfrom the entire hall, she made her way uptothe stage.

"Hi!" She waved her hand rigidly, greeting all the membersofthe student union.

Instantly, Gu Shucheng bolted forward with his back rod straight. If it weren't for the table in front of him, he would have gone down on his knee to saluteher.

His sudden actions shook the hearts of all student council members. With curiosity, they followed his lead. Afterall,since theirpresident was standing, it wouldn't seem right if they continued to be seated.

Yao Si felt as though she was participating in an international interview. It was as if everyone had stood up in preparation to shake hands with her.
