Chapter 177: President 8



The student council president election is one of the most anticipated events at the academy, typically held midway through the second semester.

It's a unique spectacle where candidates employ both subtle and overt strategies to rise to the top, all while adhering to academy rules and maintaining the sanctity of classes.

Whether through calculated alliances, influence over clubs, or personal charisma, candidates must find ways to secure support from their fellow students.

The power granted to the student council president is immense.

Holding this position is akin to becoming the "king" of the academy, with authority that

extends far beyond what most students or even professors can imagine.

The president wields influence not only over the student body but also over many administrative decisions.

In certain cases, their decisions can even carry more weight than those of the principal, making this election one of the most strategic and impactful battles in the academy's politics.

Becoming president means holding sway over the academy's rules, student discipline, and even certain academic matters.

The right person in that role could significantly shape the culture and future of the academy, making it a coveted position for anyone aiming to leave a lasting mark.

For those running, it's not just about prestige-it's about control, influence, and the chance to lead.

The academy's politics were far from a simple student affair; they often involved the subtle influences and agendas of various countries.

With representatives from powerful nations and high-profile individuals, the title of student council president became a symbol of influence not only within the academy but also on an international scale.

Those who were ambitious enough to pursue it were willing to bear their fangs, competing fiercely for the title, and potentially using it as leverage for their country's interests.

Though it appeared to be a local event confined within the walls of a prestigious institution, the hidden intricacies involved made the election something far more significant.

Outsiders viewed it as an international affair due to the strategic interests of the nations involved, with students representing their homelands.

This year's election was particularly peculiar and subtly heated because of the candidates participating.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Leading the race was none other than Princess Snow Luvenitia White Germonia Leven, known simply as Princess Snow White.

A student with exceptional magical prowess, she had not only secured her position as the top student of her year but was also the crown princess of Germonia, the most powerful nation in the world.

Her candidacy almost guaranteed her success, as many believed that her leadership would further solidify the influence of Germonia's descendants within the academy.

Her grace, poise, and magical strength made her the overwhelming crowd favorite, and many expected her to win by a landslide.

However, the competition wasn't to be underestimated.

The second and third-place candidates were no slouches, each bringing their own formidable strengths and backing to the table, which added to the tension and intrigue.

Although Princess Snow seemed the inevitable victor in the eyes of many, her rivals were determined to challenge her, making the election far more unpredictable than it first appeared.

Rose Brilliance was a name that resonated throughout the academy and beyond.

Known as one of the most promising archmages of her generation, her talent, skill, and raw magical power far surpassed those of her peers.

It was said that her potential outstripped even seasoned mages, and she had already gained recognition from powerful magical factions worldwide.

Dorothy's stable and experienced hand, Rose's visionary magic-driven leadership, and Princess Snow's royal influence each had their pros and cons, creating a palpable tension as

the election loomed closer.

The academy was abuzz, as students, faculty, and even external observers speculated on who would ultimately claim the coveted title of student council president.

In the now-opened roof of the gymnasium, standing at the northern section, a grand podium

and stage took center stage.

Every seat in front of it was filled with students from all years and disciplines.

The crowd was so immense that even the academy's prestigious entrance ceremony seemed

small in comparison.

Seniors and juniors, many meeting for the first time, sat side by side, quietly buzzing with anticipation as they listened to the figure standing before them.

The atmosphere was charged with expectation.

Amplification magic enhanced the sound of the microphone, ensuring that every corner of the

gymnasium could hear the speaker's words clearly.

Standing in front of the students, the speaker's golden eyes shone with a mix of knowledge

and wisdom that commanded attention.

Her usual bored expression had faded, replaced by a rare intensity that captivated the

audience.

For the first time, her gaze locked onto the crowd, as if peering into the hearts of each and every student before her.

"Progress can only be reached by those with the will to pursue it," she declared, her voice

strong and deliberate.

Her words struck a chord with the mages in the audience, resonating deeply with those who sought to push the boundaries of magical power.

Her logic-based approach and calm, calculated demeanor appealed to the scholars of the

academy, while her promises of balance and fairness earned nods of approval from the general studies students.

Each faction of the academy found something to connect with in her message.

There was a brief pause as her words settled over the crowd, a silence broken only by the quiet

murmurs of agreement and understanding.

The speaker's speech wasn't just another campaign promise; it was a manifesto for change, a

call to action for those who believed in hard work, diligence, and the relentless pursuit of

excellence.

Her golden eyes scanned the audience once more, ensuring that her message had reached every corner of the room, before continuing, "No progress comes without sacrifice, and no achievement without perseverance."
