Chapter Thirty-Two: Becoming the Class Leader
“The Magic Crystal is here, are you really Zhi Yuan’s student?”
Liu Hong tossed a yellowish-brown Magic Crystal over, her gaze fixed on Su Jiu’s face. She’s so young?
Beautiful…
She had initially thought the other party was at least in college. Now, seeing her, it was no wonder Su Jiu had to hide her identity. With such talent, she was bound to become a national treasure in the future.
“Otherwise?”
Su Jiu didn’t understand the meaning behind Liu Hong’s question. She took the fingernail-sized Magic Crystal, held it up to the sun, and noticed some bubbles and impurities. It was far inferior to the one space had given her.
She inwardly thought: Indeed, Brother Ring is top-tier. That one he gave me could probably sell for over a million.
“Mama… I want that.” E Huo, who had been quiet all along, suddenly spoke up. She climbed onto Su Jiu’s palm, her two eyes fixed on the Magic Crystal without moving.
Just as Su Jiu was about to feed it to her directly, Liu Hong beside her snapped back to reality and quickly stopped her, “I don’t think Little White Snake is even Warrior Class yet, right? It can’t be fed Magic Crystals…”
“Cannot be fed?” Su Jiu blinked.
E Huo also blinked, her ruby-like eyes turning towards Liu Hong and staring intently.
“Even at Warrior Class, you need to grind the Magic Crystal into powder and feed it slowly at a dosage of one per month… Ah, it ate it, quickly make it spit it out!”
Liu Hong explained briefly, not expecting that E Huo would completely ignore her, bite down directly on the Magic Crystal, and then turn back into a bracelet.
Seeing Liu Hong’s somewhat anxious face, Su Jiu waved her hand and said nonchalantly, “It’s fine, she’s eaten like this before.”
“It’s fine?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong looked at E Huo on Su Jiu’s hand with suspicion. There was no sign of the expected explosion… Wait.
As if she had thought of something, Liu Hong’s eyes suddenly widened, and she pointed at E Huo, saying, “Could it be a descendant of a War God Level Demon?”
Su Jiu shook her head and smiled casually, “I don’t know, I just picked it up on the mountain.”
“Picked up on the mountain? I get it.” Liu Hong smiled. After working as a civil servant for so many years, she understood what that meant.
These were generally descendants of powerful figures’ pets, and this young lady just didn’t want to mention it. But could a mayor of a prefecture-level city really get such a thing for their daughter?
“Sister Liu, bye-bye. If you had said earlier that you were leading the training, I would have gone to the Adventurer’s Guild to see if there was anything to earn money with.”
Before she could think for too long, Su Jiu turned around, waved her hand, and headed towards the school gate. Going to fight unranked monsters with a bunch of brats, hehe, whoever wanted to, could go…
She, Su, would not do such a thing as bullying children.
“Where are you going? Aren’t you a third-year student? Aren’t you going to participate in the training?”
Liu Hong suddenly reached out and hooked the strap behind Su Jiu’s JK uniform’s bow tie, gently pulling her back. Su Jiu retreated two steps like a little cat.
“Participating in training doesn’t get me money, nor Magic Crystals, so why should I go?” Su Jiu turned around and asked with an eye-roll.
“Who says there’s no money? The first place winner not only gets a fifty thousand yuan scholarship but also Warrior Class combat gear as a reward.” Liu Hong said.
“Fifty thousand yuan? Just taking on a single Advanced Stage Warrior Level monster now is worth more than that. As for combat gear, I don’t even look at those unranked swords and sabers anymore.” Su Jiu said uninterestedly, making to leave.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong smiled mysteriously and suddenly said, “What if I told you… it’s a self-selected Warrior Class accessory?”
“Warrior Class accessory?”
As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, Su Jiu abruptly stopped. She slowly turned around, a hint of interest appearing on her face.
Different accessories could bring many special effects, but accessories were made through alchemy using rare creatures, making them extremely rare.
The male protagonist Bai Ming also had this item; his was a Ring of Power, which directly amplified his right hand’s power by thirty percent. Combined with his already immense strength from his ancient Black Dragon bloodline, this amplification allowed him to, as an Advanced Stage Warrior, contend with War General Level demons.
Seeing Su Jiu’s reaction, Liu Hong’s heart was even more assured of her extraordinary nature. Ordinary people simply didn’t understand the function of accessory combat gear.
She smiled and asked softly, “How about it? As long as you’re willing to be the class leader for these students, that accessory is practically yours.”
“What does being a class leader entail? If it’s too troublesome, then forget it.” Su Jiu tilted her head and asked.
“Originally, the class leader would lead those students to gain experience and organize camping trips for them. But you are different from others. I’ll have Huang Sisi handle the logistics for you then.” Liu Hong chuckled and continued, “You’ve met her, the gentle girl.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu looked at Liu Hong with a face full of confusion, “I don’t have to do anything, Sister Liu. You could find anyone else and it would be about the same, right?”
“You don’t have to do *nothing*. You will need to lead the team to spar with the geniuses from another city. This is a major factor in deciding who gets first place.” Liu Hong looked at Su Jiu with a smile, her words fully explaining why she was so determined to bring Su Jiu over.
She had thought the merit reward for this time was lost, but unexpectedly, with Su Jiu’s bug-like existence, with her fighting skills, let alone these students, even some of the weaker teachers would likely be instantly defeated.
“Then that’s great.”
Su Jiu nodded lightly, looked at the training students over there, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards. It seemed she had to show the children the harshness of the adult world.
Seeing Su Jiu agree, Liu Hong’s face revealed a hint of inexplicable smugness, and she secretly thought: Qinghai City, led by that Dragon Hunter from next door, just you wait.
Soon, Liu Hong led Su Jiu to a platform next to the flag-raising stage. Everyone’s gaze turned towards that spot, either in confusion or with amused scorn.
“Isn’t that Su Jiu? Did she think training was like class where you could just skip? She’s been caught now, hasn’t she?” In the class leader selection lineup, Lu Ke chuckled and said loudly.
Immediately, many around them also laughed like spectators, “I told you she’d get into trouble for relying on treasures to improve her Coagulated Blood.”
“Tsk, she’s really embarrassing our Class A.”
“Big Sister is probably going to get bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork when she goes back this time…” In the Class A lineup, Su Xiao Yu looked at Su Jiu, who was still sucking on a lollipop on the stage, with pity.
Glancing at those onlookers, Bai Qianyu’s expression remained normal as she looked at the stage. Knowing Su Jiu’s identity, she felt it was not that simple at all.
Because the instructor training them was actually Su Jiu’s colleague!
They were all Exorcists!
“Everyone be quiet, I have something to announce…”
Liu Hong cleared her throat. At this moment, everyone stopped their discussions, and their eyes, full of curiosity, landed on Su Jiu’s face. They truly couldn’t understand why she was so calm?
“She’s just used to being criticized, right?” The carefree Lu Ke didn’t have so many reservations and let out another scornful laugh. Her gaze fell on Liu Hong’s face.
Speak quickly, how will they be punished…
After scanning the surroundings, Liu Hong suddenly uttered words that most people on the sports field could not accept:
“I’ve already decided the list of class leaders – it will be Student Su Jiu!”
There was no applause; the scene was deathly quiet. They kept looking at each other, trying to understand if they had misheard, but the other’s similar actions made them realize this was real!
Lu Ke’s smile instantly froze. Below the stage, Su Xiao Yu kept digging at his ears, feeling like he had definitely misheard.
The only one who remained normal on the field was Bai Qianyu. She revealed a smile that said “as expected” and looked at that unrestrained, petite figure.
Sister Jiu, I have to work hard to win the Vice Class Leader position too.
