Chapter 245 Taking Over

"…I am honored to be here. From today, I will take over the position of student council president and lead everyone through the future campus life…"

A girl with dark shoulder-length hair stood on the podium. She wore relatively simple frameless glasses, a flat beret on her head, and a standard student uniform, a white top, an indigo ribbon bow tie, and a waistcoat and skirt that were also mainly blue with black trims. Her

clothes showed her ladylike temperament, which was neither too fancy nor monotonous, which made many students in Edes Academy trust the new student council president.

At least she looks normal, doesn't she? Unlike the previous president, Amorth, who gave people a sense of deterrence with a deep mind.

In the auditorium, under the witness of all teachers and students, the position of student council president was handed over normally. There were no twists and turns in the whole process, but some senior students were a little unfamiliar with this first-year freshman.

It seemed that they heard this name for the first time, but considering that they were about to graduate, they didn't care much.

"It's her again. Sure enough, her speech at the beginning of the school year was meaningful. Was it decided since then?" Many first-year students are still familiar with Tilan.

"I thought she was just a vase pushed out by the school. I didn't expect her to be the student council president. The question is, can she convince everyone?" Some students don't care much about campus affairs. They are just curious about whether this weak-looking girl can sit in this position.

"I don't think it's possible. This is Edes Academy. Everyone is either a genius from all over the place or has an extraordinary family background. How can they be easily convinced?" Some second- and third-year students shook their heads. Not everyone knew about what happened some time ago.

After Tilan finished her speech and stepped down, it was the handover ceremony of the major clubs on campus. Because many club presidents are fourth-year students and are about to graduate, they will also announce the next successor at this time.

The first to appear was the 'Tikos Plant Research Society'. Although the number of people was not large, the professionalism of this club was comparable to the scientific research team of mainstream companies on the market, and it also won many awards.

Mavis, the club president, was charming. After she stepped onto the stage, she briefly introduced the club's achievements over the past three years, and then talked about the future prospects and her successor.

"The next club president is my junior, and a familiar face to everyone. He is Allen Hanafir."

After that, a member familiar to Tilan stepped onto the podium. As an elf, he was rare even in Edes Academy. In addition, he came from a famous family, and his parents were both well-known botany professors. Many people had heard of his name, so they were not surprised by such a result.

Although Allen was usually listed under the name of the Dusk Band, he often went to the "Tikos Botanical Research Society". When Tilan visited, he saw him doing experiments there.

There was a lively applause, and the students also welcomed it.

After that, it was the "Hat and Dagger" club. The members of this club were good at fighting. It was a well-known club in the academy. Many people had heard of its name and watched their competition in the first half of the year.

As the former president, Wu Lai walked onto the stage. Compared to his previous bald head, he now had short hair, which looked quite fresh and unfamiliar.

"Hey, I don't need to introduce too much, haha, our club 'Hat and Dagger' is powerful, honorable, and invincible!"

"Then, for such a powerful club, the person who takes my position must also be a powerful guy."

"Please invite the most powerful person in our club except me to come on stage - Xiao Yicheng!"

A handsome young man with dark blue short hair came on stage. His appearance was quite oriental. He wore the new uniform that 'Gothic Doll' had just released in collaboration with the academy. He carried a sword on his back in one hand, walked onto the stage, and waved it easily, making a few sword flowers, and then began to deliver his inaugural speech.

"...I am very grateful to President Wu Lai for his care and training over the past two years. I am also grateful for the guidance of President Tilan, which allows me to stand here proudly today..." In his speech, he mentioned the name of the new president, which surprised many people in the audience.

"Has the new president taught him swordsmanship? This shouldn't be a compliment, after all, Tilan looks like a literary girl."

"I don't know, but some time ago, 'Hat and Dagger' was indeed very eye-catching. Among the five people who rescued President Wu Lai at that time, Xiao Yicheng was also the most powerful one. Since he said so, it is difficult for others to refute. The winner is not questioned." Someone in the audience shook his head.

After finishing the brief speech, the next to take the stage was the 'Death Rose Society', which is famous for the Withering Sequence, but is mysterious and low-key.

The new president and the former president both wore dark robes and masks, like social terrorists. Their speeches were also very brief, with only one sentence at the end: "... Thank you very much to President Tilan for helping our club, which has helped the club members to rise to a higher level."

"Why is it Tilan again? Has she really done so many things?"

"Next is the new president of 'Hua Shan Opera', Avni, please invite her to the stage."

"Flame Goldfish Princess, it turns out that she took over 'Hua Shan Opera'. I was wondering why she represented 'Hua Shan Opera' when we co-branded the costumes last time. It turns out that this is the reason."

After the not-so-long speech, several other small clubs took turns to go on stage, until the end, the handover ceremony of the largest club on campus, 'Black Shirt Walker'.

The words of the former president were a little bland, but when the new club president came on stage, everyone made surprised sounds.

This is a very special girl. She has silver-green hair and extremely fair skin. She looks great but lacks expression. She speaks very little. After she came on stage, she only said, "My name is Ge Yin, and I'm the new club president." Then she ended her speech.

"I seem to have heard of her name. It is said that she was at the level of Sequence 4 when she entered the school. She is a genius active on the Aikeka network. She usually stays in the immersion cabin and rarely comes out to attend classes."

"She is such a homebody? No wonder I've never seen her before."

"It seems that this first-year class is really full of hidden talents. There are many powerful people."

Finally, after the handover of the "Black Shirt Walker" club was completed, the event came to an end. The students began to disperse. Some seniors even started to make reservations for holiday travel destinations.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Tilan, who was sitting in the front row, also stood up. What other students had not noticed was that the student representatives who had been on the stage not long ago also stayed.

"President Tilan." A member bowed to the black-haired girl wearing glasses. This was like a signal that spread among the group.

They stood in two rows beside the girl, calling her name.

"President Tilan."

"President Tilan."

"President Tilan."

Then, when the girl walked by, he followed closely and left the stage behind her.

This scene finally froze on the projection screen until someone pressed the play button again, and the projection screen returned to the beginning, when the black-haired girl took the stage to give a speech.

"It's really amazing." A handsome man and woman watching from the audience commented. They were all wearing uniforms with white backgrounds and gold leaves, and sitting in the middle was a man with elven blood.

"She is the new president of this generation of Edes, the successor of Amorth, right?" He tapped his fingers on the armrest and his eyes slowly swept across the screen. "

Yes, according to the information obtained by the school directors from special channels, she is Themisia's biological sister, Heshia Tilan."

Hearing this name, the man sitting in the middle closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them again.

"This name is so kind and regretful, so lovable and hateful..." As the current student council president of Saint Ingo Academy, he had also witnessed the elegance and glory of that genius girl in his first year, so he naturally knew the horror represented by the name Themisia.

"Although Themisia is no longer here, the academy's top management didn't recruit her sister, but instead sent her to Edes Academy. This is really surprising and disappointing."

"Perhaps Themisia's behavior back then made the academy's top management very angry and disgusted, and even her sister was ignored." A member at the side leaned over to explain.

"Anyway, there is no doubt about Themisia's talent. If it weren't for her, the competition that year wouldn't have ended so peacefully." The blond man in the middle shook his head.

"Now that Edes Academy has found her biological sister, isn't this a mockery and irony to us?"

"President, I think we may have thought too highly of Heshia Tilan. Although she is Themisia's sister, not everyone can be like Themisia. Even if she is Themisia's biological sister, it does not mean that she can reach her sister's level. Such gaps between brothers and sisters are everywhere."

The president of St. Ingo Academy sighed lightly, waved his hand, asking the student union member next to him to stop talking, and then spoke.

"You haven't witnessed the terrifying dominance of Themisia back then. Even after so many years, if you ask the fourth-year students who are about to graduate, many of them have seen Themisia's performance in the Winter Festival competition that year. She was not at the same level as the champions of the past two sessions."

"At that time, not only in our academy, but even in the upper circles of the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain, many people felt that her future was limitless. It was very likely that she would reach the pinnacle of Sequence 8 before the age of forty. This was a very terrifying prediction, and it was why many students with strong family backgrounds at the time did not dare to offend her easily. Even powerful adults would feel envious and fearful when facing such a rising star."

"Many people think that pride and arrogance are bad personalities, but when this trait is manifested in Themisia, it seems as if it is natural and she should be like this. If she has a humble personality, it would be strange and awkward. This powerful aura makes everyone who comes into contact with it shocked and willingly submit to it." The man described the image and temperament that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

"It can be said that because of her existence, all the geniuses of the same generation are inferior and become dispensable."

"If it weren't for the subsequent accidents, she might be the most outstanding and proud student in the history of St. Ingo Academy."

After saying this, he paused for a while, closed his eyes to rest, and then opened his eyes again.

"Forget it, let's let the matter of Themisia go. There is not much point in talking about it now."

"Send two of you to contact the academy board of directors and keep an eye on the news and movements of Tilan. Now that Edes Academy has selected their new core, we have to start preparing too."

"This year's Winter Festival Gala will not be as easy as last year, hehe."

"The Leader of the Swarm, the Thunderbolt, and Edes are all special geniuses. The low-key Lelisa Academy is also slowly accumulating strength. None of them is easy to get along with. This is the pressure and challenge you face when you are in the first position."

After continuing to give instructions on the tasks and goals of each department, the student council president of St. Ingo Academy stood up, dismissed the venue and asked everyone to leave, and he walked alone into a hidden elevator on the floor.

The elevator shuttled for half a minute and entered the empty and tall training ground underground. In the huge training ground, there was only one figure standing quietly. She was tall, with pointed ears, flowing blonde hair, and wearing a light green and golden close-fitting dress. In one hand, she held a true red blade like a thorn, and in the other hand, she held a bright golden blade like a flame. A faint transparent cicada wing appeared behind her, and then she quickly flashed through this dark underground training ground. Almost at the same moment, twelve golden and red sword arcs appeared and then dissipated.

As she gradually became proficient in swinging the sword and fighting at super high speed, the dome of the training ground lit up with five special blue beams, which converged on a crystal core that was put down, condensing it into a female figure of similar height to her. The other party also held two swords, but behind her were strange butterfly wings, and the blade in her hand was like a new bud pulled out from a rose bud.

The two figures were fighting rapidly in this underground training ground, making it hard to keep up. The collision of magic particles, the falling crystal fragments, the flashing sword arcs, all kinds of light and shadows came and went until a few minutes later, when the figure formed by the crystal core completely shattered, and it was declared over.

"Pa pa pa--" applause rang out in the quiet underground.

"Very good, no, very good, Sevilla." He walked closer to the woman who was half-kneeling on the ground and panting.

"The figure formed by the crystal core just now imitated the fighting mode and ability of Themisia. I am really impressed that you were able to defeat her."

The woman stood up and stretched out her hand. Soon, the hovering self-discipline unit descended from the dome and handed her a clean towel.

After wiping her face briefly, she turned around and faced the student council president.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, senior. Although the crystal core phantom just now imitated Themisia, I'm afraid it doesn't even have 30% of the combat power of the real Themisia." Although she has elf blood, it is not pure. Her voice is a little rough, and her eyebrows are not as slender as those elves.

"You are right, but you are only a second year now. There is plenty of time to improve and surpass in the future."

"With time, you may be able to reach the same level as her, but I don't have any hope." He smiled and turned to look at the huge painting on the wall on one side of the training ground. It was a scene captured at the winter festival party a few years ago. Under the brightly lit night sky, a purple-eyed and crazy girl soared in the night sky, with such a rebellious and impactful posture.

After quietly admiring the painting for a long time, the man turned around again.

"Seviara, are you ready to take over my position and bring a new legend to Saint Ingo Academy?"
