Sitting on a chair, Fang Zheng closed his eyes and rested. Opposite him sat the student union president of Alekante Institute, who was also the one with the lowest status among all the student union presidents present. As mentioned before, Alekante Institute is more like a research institute than a school, and each project team in it operates independently. As the student union president, this squinty-eyed young man is simply a window for internal coordination and external information transmission.

Compared to student presidents like Jielong and Haolin who hold great power and are almost equal to the rulers of the academy, or student presidents as powerful as Saint Galledovas, the student president of the Alecante Institute is indeed the one with the lowest status and reputation.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

At this moment, a voice sounded, and everyone looked up, only to see a girl with golden hair walking towards them with a smile on her face. She was the host of this meeting, Claudia Enfield, the student council president of Xingdaoguan Academy.

In principle, the host of each garden meeting is the representative of the school that won the first place in the previous season. Logically speaking, Fang Zheng, who won the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, should be the best candidate. Unfortunately, in Academy City, although the scores of the Star Martial Festival account for a large part of the school rankings, this does not mean that the scores in terms of learning can be ignored. So in the end, Haoling Academy ranked second, and Xingdaoguan Academy, which won the runner-up in the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, became the host of this meeting.

"As the host, you are too late."

The fat red pig stared at Claudia coldly and started to complain, but the latter didn't care at all and just smiled slightly.

"Sorry, I was busy with some things, so I was delayed for a while."

"It's about the Griffin Star Martial Festival."

The smile on the blond boy's face also did not change at all.

"I heard that Miss Claudia will attend in person this year. I am very much looking forward to it."

"No, no, I'm just trying my luck. After all... isn't Kasugano-kun here?"

Hearing Claudia shift the topic to himself, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, snorted and did not answer.

"Okay, stop being so hypocritical here."

The red-haired fat pig angrily interrupted the hypocritical politeness between Claudia and the blonde pretty boy, and cast his eyes on the only empty chair.

"Is that girl absent again this time?"

Hearing the red-haired fat pig's words, Claudia looked at the blond pretty boy in confusion, and the latter shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't receive a letter of appointment from Kuienweier this time."

“Huh?”

The red-haired fat pig also snorted coldly at this moment.

"Can that woman even forget this? Does she really want to be the student council president?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

However, just as the red-haired fat pig finished speaking, a pleasant voice was heard, and then everyone saw the singer with purple hair quietly appear in front of the chair. She smiled and waved to everyone, then sat on the chair.

"Hello, Miss Sylvia."

Seeing Sylvia appear, the blond pretty boy bowed to her respectfully.

"It's been a long time since I saw you show up at the garden meeting."

"I'm sorry, I've been very busy before, and I'm sorry to bother you again."

"Nothing, it's my pleasure to help a lady in distress."

The two chatted for a few words, then Sylvia turned her gaze to Fang Zheng and greeted him with a smile.

"It's been a while since we last met, but you're still so energetic, Kasugano-kun."

"Why?"

Hearing what Sylvia said, everyone was shocked. Even Fan Xinglu looked at Sylvia curiously, then at Fang Zheng.

"Oh? Have you met before?"

"certainly."

In response to Fan Xinglu's question, Sylvia nodded generously.

"Besides, we had an unforgettable night."

"Not all night, only half a night at most."

Fang Zheng yawned and silently corrected the mistakes in Sylvia's words, but the bomb that Sylvia suddenly dropped still shocked everyone present. After all, in their opinion, Sylvia was usually too busy with work to even attend the garden meeting, let alone know Fang Zheng.

But judging from the tone of their voices, that was clearly not the case.

If it were outside, this news alone would be enough to make the entire media world go crazy, but here...

"Okay, I'm not interested in your affair with that man. Time is limited, so let's get started!"

The red-haired fat pig pointed at the table in dissatisfaction and spoke, while Claudia came back to her senses at this time and coughed lightly.

"Well, let's start the meeting. Today we have two main topics, the school festival and the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival..."

Like many worlds, this world also has school festivals, and the spring school festival is also the most active season for students. This is also the only time when the school city is completely open to the public. Therefore, there will be many ordinary tourists entering the school. Of course, at this time, various schools will also choose to jointly hold activities.

For example, now...

"Um...Kasugano-kun, I hope you can participate in an event at Pojun Academy."

"Activity?"

Faced with Dongtang Daohua's invitation, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that it had just begun and the other party actually invited him to participate in the activities of Pojun Academy?

"It's the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. This is the competition trial used by Pojun Academy to select swordsmen. We also hope that the winner of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival can join..."

"Let me participate in the competition? I think this competition is a foregone conclusion."

"No... Actually, I want you to be the commentator for the Seven Star Sword Dance..."

"oh……"

After hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately understood. This is the same as inviting football celebrities to comment on a game.

"Send me the itinerary and I'll contact you if there's no problem."

"OK."

At this moment, Dongtang Daohua no longer had the cold feeling she had on the stage before. She exchanged contact information with Fang Zheng in a somewhat reserved manner, then bowed her head to thank him and sat down again. However, at this moment, Sylvia also interrupted.

"Wait, Kasugano-kun, do you want to hold a school festival together with our Aoi-Vell? I think it will be more lively this way."

"I feel like there's not much in common between our two schools."

Facing Sylvia's smiling invitation, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. It was reasonable for Dongtang Daohua to invite him. After all, Dawn Star Pattern and Bladebreaker were from the same school, which was a bit like the dispute between Huashan Sword Sect and Qi Sect. But Aoi Enwei was different. This school always ranked last in Academy City. It was not because their school had a bad atmosphere, but because Aoi Enwei Girls' School was more for cultivating star idols. Among the schools in Academy City, Aoi Enwei was the only one that required good looks in addition to academic performance and star power.

Just by listening to the admission criteria, you can tell that Kuienwei'er's mind is not on the Star Martial Festival at all.

"Anyway, I'll contact you."

Sylvia did not answer Fang Zheng's question, but just brushed it off with a smile... No one knew what she was up to.

During the discussion about the school festival, there weren't too many arguments. After all, most of the activities still had to be organized by the clubs themselves, and all the student council presidents had to do was to determine whether their school was going to go it alone or cooperate with others in this school festival, and then talk about a few big projects. After all, it was a school festival, and everyone was there for fun, so naturally there was nothing to argue about.

But when it comes to the topic of the Griffin Star Martial Festival, that’s another matter.

“Well, that…”

When the topic came to the forefront, the first person to speak was the seemingly cowardly student union president of the Alejandro Institute. He raised his head uneasily and looked at everyone.

"The first topic I want to raise is the eligibility of autonomous pseudomorphs..."

"This again?"

Hearing this, the red-haired fat man frowned in dissatisfaction.

"You guys made an exception last time, but you still got smashed into scrap metal. What? Are you planning to come again for the Griffin Star Martial Festival this time?"

Before last year's Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, the student union president of the Alekante Institute also submitted a similar application, which was barely approved in the end. The chairman of the competition also specifically explained this point at the meeting. Although the contestants were not happy to fight with robots, the audience still looked forward to seeing changes.

However, what was unexpected was that the robot that was highly expected was blasted into scrap metal by Fang Zheng as soon as it came on stage, so the Alecanth Institute became a laughing stock for a while. Although Fang Zheng showed an overwhelming advantage later, the criticism of the Alecanth Institute was reduced, but it happened twice in a row... Aren't you annoyed?

"I object."

The red-haired fat man was the first to object.

"The last time the Phoenix Star Martial Festival almost became a joke because of those two piles of scrap metal, I don't want it to happen again."

"Indeed, I'm sorry, but the current results of the Alecanth Research Institute...are really not convincing."

The blond pretty boy also shook his head and expressed his own opinion.

Fan Xinglu, on the other hand, looked very excited.

"Let them join the robot army. Maybe the five of them can even merge together. How fun is that?"

"I think... this is against the rules."

Dongtang Daohua also put forward his own ideas.

"Everyone knows that in the last session, although it was nominally an autonomous weapon, it was actually a robot controlled by artificial intelligence, and Alecante did not produce any results. In this case, will making an exception again have a negative impact on the contestants? After all, this is not fair..."

"I think we can give them another chance. After all, last year...hahaha, they were just unlucky."

Sylvia voted in favor, and Claudia agreed with her.

"In any case, the development of artificial intelligence is indeed a problem that needs to be faced. If we cannot face this problem in time, I think similar disputes will arise in the future, so... I am willing to give them another chance."

Now, the red-haired fat man, the blond pretty boy and Dongtang Daohua are against it.

Sylvia, Fan Xinglu and Claudia agreed.

Only Fang Zheng had not expressed his opinion.

At this time, Claudia, as the host of the meeting, also looked at Fang Zheng.

"Kasugano-kun, what's your opinion?"

"My opinion..."

Hearing Claudia's question, Fang Zheng sneered and stared at her with narrowed eyes.

"It's okay for me to agree, but I have one condition."

"……condition?"

"That's right. I require the Alekante Research Institute to give a written guarantee that they will not manufacture or use autonomous machines in human form. If they can make this guarantee, then I can agree. If they are unwilling to make this guarantee, then..."

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the other person.

"I don't mind turning that pile of scrap metal back into what it was originally meant to be. Don't think I don't know what your Alecanth Institute is up to!"

"oh?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone present immediately perked up.

"Kasugano-kun, what do you mean?"
