Bella didn’t know who made it a universal law that all of the other world’s principals had to be strange old men. Bella was a little speechless as she looked at the row of old men on the platform at the center of the square. The Olsyvia Academy’s five branch academy principals, were ALL OLD MEN? All six of these principals were previous graduates of the Olsyvia Academy and some of the students jokingly referred to them as the ‘six artifacts’ behind their backs.
The academy’s high-ups had probably long realized the awkwardness of lacking anything worthy of attention on the main platform, so the magic lights around the central platform were tilted ever so slightly towards the VIP platform where the 6 beautiful student council presidents, as well as the Disciplinary Committee’s head chair Natasha, were seated.
Of the 5 branch academy student council presidents, Bella had already seen three of them: The Filomina branch for nobility’s Lucia, the Francis branch for commoner’s Britney, and the Euphemia branch for royalty’s Ese. This was the first time that Bella had the chance to see the looks of the other two branch council presidents.
The president of the Church of Light’s St.Louis branch was the sister Maria, apprentice of the current Pope and was currently being groomed as his successor as the 4 holy maidens didn’t possess the right to inherit his position.
Maria’s age wasn’t much different from that of the four holy maidens and if it wasn’t for her title of being the Pope’s successor, she was just a beautiful young girl. Maria’s hair was a pure gold, same as the holy maiden Susan.
Maria had a rather dignified and composed air about her and her lively eyes showed Bella a little of her quick-wit. As the Pope’s successor, Maria had to learn how to balance the relations between the Church’s three factions, definitely something that not every girl would be able to do.
The president of the Olivia branch for geniuses, the one who held the top rank in the Olsyvia branch’s red ranking, was the beautiful assassin Ave. The black-haired assassin maintained a cold look on her face and was the only one of the student council presidents not to have a smile on her face.
The Olsyvia Academy had three different rankings for all of their students, the red, blue, and gold rankings. The red ranking were for the classes who dealt physical damage such as knights, assassins, swordsmen, and archer. The blue ranking was for the students who used magic, the current first place being president Ese.
As for the gold ranking, it was quite fittingly the ranking for the students’ individual wealth. There was currently no first place as the ranking was currently being recounted. Every year when new students joined the academy, the gold ranking would be largely refreshed. In the top ten, the names of both Carlos and Bellina, as well as the five beauties from the Rose Society, appeared but whoever was the wealthiest of them all was yet to be decided.
Kriss and Lisha were new students and had yet to challenge the rankings. If the two of them were to challenge the ranking, Eve’s position would probably have a different name. No matter how strong Eve was, there was no way that she would be able to beat Lisha and Kriss, two girls who were basically cheat characters.
The last beauty on the VIP platform was the Olsyvia Academy’s main student council president, Angelina. Angelina was one of the Olsyvia Academy’s few enchanters and it was her who was responsible for most of the academy’s numerous teleportation formations. Apart from mages who could use spatial magic, enchanters were the only other profession that could set up teleportation formations.
Due to the large loss of life during the invasion of the twelve demon kings, spatial magic had been lost to humanity for the past ten thousand years. The role of setting up teleportation formations had been left to the few remaining enchanters. The worth of an enchanter was equal to 10 other mages of the same level, showing how rare and valuable they were. Enchanters along with those Alchemists who could make storage rings were some of the most sought-after people on the continent and were treated as treasures by every person they offered their service to.
Angelina sat at the centre of all the VIPs to show her position as the president of the main student council. If it wasn’t for the appearance of Ese and the entrance of Kriss into the Olsyvia Academy, Angelina would have been the undisputed most beautiful flower in the entire academy.
This beautiful student council president with navy-blue hair was quite frankly, levels ahead of Lucia and Britney who were also ranked in the top ten. If it wasn’t for Ese and Kriss, there would be no one in the academy that could challenger her beauty.
Bella’s eyes never left the VIP platform and as for whatever the old men on the main platform were saying, she only listened to what interested her and basically ignored everything else. The only reason why she chose to attend this opening ceremony was for the beauties! As for whatever important information that she missed, she could just ask Jenny and the others about it later.
Bella wasn’t sure of it but she felt as if these student council presidents had all sneaked several glances in her direction. Bella could understand Lucia and Ese looking at her because they were already acquainted. Bella could also understand Britney glancing over because she knew that Britney had something to request of her.
Bella began to get a little confused when she tried to figure out a reason as to why Maria and Eve were looking over. While Bella was quite well associated with the four holy maidens but she had never seen Maria before, so the only explanation was that she had heard the holy maidens talking about Bella.
As for the president of the genius’ Olivia branch, Bella hadn’t interacted with a single student from that branch and there was no connection between her and Eve, so there shouldn’t be any reason for Eve to pay any extra attention to her?!
As for the main student council president, Angelina, Bella would like to express that she was incapable of understanding Angelina’s purpose. Even though Bella had a minor conflict with the main student council’s Disciplinary Committee but that shouldn’t have been enough to arouse the attention of the attention of the main student council president.
Bella hadn’t realized that this had been caused by the bottle containing ‘Elixir of Life’ that she had shown during the auction, the shock had successfully thrown Bella straight into the eyes of these beautiful student council presidents. If Bella looked at the main platform, however, she would have noticed that the principals had also noticed Bella but all of Bella’s attention was turned towards the beauties on the VIP platform and she had selectively ignored the looks from the significantly less attractive principals.
“Arvis, that’s the girl that auctioned off the bottle of ‘Elixir of Life’? She looks like a normal student. I can’t see anything extraordinary about her, I suspect that the bottle was given to her by her friends Kriss and Lisha.”
“Trevik, stop judging my students the way you do for your Olivia branch. Being able to obtain such a valuable treasure is a show of her own ability, what does her cultivation have anything to do with it.”
“Alright, can you two stop arguing, at least until this ceremony is finished? Each branch has different standards for their students, we’ll see who is right and who is wrong during the 5 branch competition.”
On the central platform, the Olivia branch’s principal Trevik was arguing with the Filomina branch’s principal Arvis. One of them judged students’ power based on their cultivation and the other on their wealth, their conflicting views made it so that the two never saw eye to eye.
In order to prevent their argument from disrupting the opening ceremony’s atmosphere, the principal of the Euphemia branch, Prince Alex{1} stepped in. Prince Alex was the younger brother of the Manasville Empire’s current emperor and had been the principal of the royal branch for many years now, being held in a rather high regard even amongst the other principals. Seeing that Alex had spoken, the other principals chose to remain silent.
The principal of the Olsyvia Academy was decided on a rotation basis, with each of the five branch principals getting an equal amount of time. There had once been an individual principal not affiliated with any branch but had been removed 10 years ago due to his inability to balance the relations between the branches. With the new system, the conflicts between the branches had alleviated quite a bit.
