384 Student Council vs Blood Faction : Vote

All the people present in the Hall clapped as Raelyn and Leonard both walked towards the stage and stood aside from Farnus.

"Both of you are exceptional students of our World Academy," Farnus said, looking at Leonard and Raelyn.

"The Rules of World Academy are made in a way to make all of you stronger,"

"That's why I allowed the challenge against the Student Council that had existed since the history of World Academy,"

In the History of World Academy, there was never been a time when the whole Student Council was challenged.

There were times when the Student Council Presidents were challenged, but there was never another Blood Faction or someone who tried to change the entire way the Student Council was set up.

Farnus raised his hands as four golden envelopes appeared in his hand.

"These contain the vote of the Rank 1 Students and the Combined vote of the Student Assembly,"

"As this was done confidentially, even I don't know the result yet," Farnus said.

All the Rankers here, even the Fourth Year ones, wanted to know what the result was.

Leonard glanced in the direction where Asher was sitting as he was curious about which side Asher chose after he personally messaged him with an offer.

It was an offer where Leonard offered Asher to be part of the new authority he was going to implement after winning.

Although Raelyn didn't directly message Asher, it was Tyrone Martell who asked Asher about his vote.

Student Council couldn't offer anything to Asher.

Raelyn didn't want to give Asher any power because of what he did to her brother.

'Kevin is now the Successor Candidate. He will enough to raise the Whiteheart's name,' Raelyn thought in her head.

The reason she was desperate to keep her position was to increase the influence of her family.

Whiteheart only became an Elite Family nearly a decade ago.

They needed more time to increase their influence and power, and that was one of the reasons Raelyn was engaged to Reece, whom she knew from a young age.

Because Kevin became the First Successor Candidate, it was an incredible thing for the Whiteheart Family.

"I will start with the one from the Third Year," Farnus said as one of the envelopes floated in the air.

A sharp line of aura opened the envelope as Farnus read it out loud.

"Leonard Tarvian has voted for the Blood Faction," Farnus announced.

The Second Envelope was opened.

"From the Second Year, Blake Cranston has voted for the Blood Faction,"

The Third Envelope was opened.

Even Damian and Amelia were waiting to see what side Asher had chosen because he didn't tell them even when they asked him."From the First Year, Asher Greville has voted for the Student Council," Farnus announced.

Leonard glanced in the direction where Asher was sitting with a smile on his face.

Unlike the expression of the other Blood Faction members, Leonard is pretty unaffected by Asher's vote.

'Not bad. I guess he isn't as easy to control as others,' Leonard thought in his head.

Raelyn was a bit surprised, but she didn't show that on her face.

'Maybe Tyrone managed to convince him,' She thought in her head.

"For the Last Vote that came from the Student Assembly," Farnus said as he opened the last envelope in the same way.

Leonard smiled because he knew what the result would be.

He had carefully made sure to manipulate the minds of the Student Assembly to favor the Blood Faction.

His plan was perfect, as Leonard didn't make a single mistake himself.action

He executed his plan perfectly till the end.

Asher looked at the stage with a curious look on his face.

"The Student Assembly has voted for the Student Council. It's a tie," Farnus announced as Leonard's expression changed.

His smile faded as he stood there with confusion.

"What?" Leonard muttered.

'But everything went according to the plan,' Leonard started thinking of where it went wrong.

He didn't start Blood Faction without thinking anything.

And he was right; Leonard didn't make any mistakes, but he still lost.lights

There was only a single reason for his defeat, and that very person was biting his nails in his Dorm room right now.

"I did as he said, but what if Leon finds out," Gavin muttered.

Just like Asher wanted, Gavin increased his bullying so much that he even forgot that it was Asher's orders.

He started enjoying it as he disobeyed the orders that Leonard gave them.

But now that he was thinking back on his actions, he was afraid if Leonard found out that he was disobeying his orders.

"But it wasn't like I was making them go against the Blood Faction," Gavin tried to find excuses.

"And there wasn't even that many. Yeah! Leon wouldn't even find out about it," Gavin said to himself.

Gavin didn't realize that even if the students didn't resist his bullying, they would still badmouth the Blood Faction in retaliation.

Asher carefully picked students who had strong pride and made them targets for Gavin to bully.

Slowly, the rumors about the members of the Blood Faction were spreading silently among the First Years.

The second factor in Leonard's defeat was Eric Herod.Eric was popular among the students in the Third Year that didn't come from strong financial backgrounds.

Because of his outgoing nature, he was one of the few, if not the only Ranker, who would help those who were in the Low Ranks and spend time with them.

As Asher wanted, Eric carefully manipulated those students into thinking that supporting the Student Council was better than the Blood Faction.

Standing on the stage, Leonard, who thought he was controlling everyone like chess pieces, didn't realize he wasn't the person in control.

Asher looked at Leonard.

'I haven't seen that face in a long time,' Asher thought in his head.

"What it's a tie?"

"So who will be the winner?"

All the people stopped chatting as Farnus opened his mouth.

"Well, in this case, I will allow the Rank 1 of the Fourth Year to decide the winner," Farnus said as everyone turned to look at Jayden Hargrave, who was sitting with his group.

"But weren't the Fourth Years excluded,"

"Yeah, they aren't part of World Academy anymore, right?"

"Because the Fourth Year haven't graduated till now, Jayden Hargrave is still a part of World Academy," Farnus said.

"And because this a tie, I will allow him to pick the winner,"

"So, Jayden, who will you pick among these two," Farnus asked.

Leonard looked at Jayden, and his facial expression changed.

He was aware of the fact that Jayden was careful of talented people like Kevin and Asher.

And Leonard had already offered him a deal the day he won against Reece.

It was a loss for Leonard, but because Reece failed, he had no choice but to give Jayden an offer he would like.

What Leonard wanted to do once he won was to split the authority of the Student Council President into seven parts.

And make a new Student Council, where seven people would decide and maintain the World Academy.

And those seven would have their own faction where they could recruit other students.

It sounded like a good way to distribute the power, but what Leonard wanted was to make a place where he could control the future of the Elite Families.

Because of the power struggle to become the Heir and other things, Leonard was going to make sure that he would make the Seats of his new Student Council in a way that it would passed down to the people he wanted.

He would select the Seven Students himself, and he would manipulate the new Student Leaders, carefully picking those that he wanted and crushing those that he found troublesome.

In a way, he could control the future power dynamics of the Elite Families even after he had left the World Academy.

It was part of his plan that even Reece wasn't part of.

"I will choose the Student Council," Jayden said as Leonard looked at him with a confused look on his face.

In return, Jayden smiled on his face.

It didn't make sense to Leonard at all.

He had already offered Jayden a partnership that he needed and something he needed to create in his own power inside the Hargrave Family.

Asher looked at the confused Leonard and Jayden, who were smiling at him.

Both of them didn't know that they were moving just like he wanted them to.

Eric grinned as the plan that Asher told him worked as Jayden Hargrave had misunderstood something.
