As for Emily, who was bent on undermining him, Ma Dong didnât have any possible method of dealing with her.

Currently, Reeves was leisurely infusing a pot of oolong tea gifted by the Zhao clan in Saint Judgementâs presidentâs room.
Tea ceremony was an ancient cultural tradition and oolong was considered a luxury good in this era. The Zhao clan had a monopoly on the local tea trade and tea couldnât be considered a casual purchase. Tea represented flavour and style. As Reeves infused the tea, he felt a kind of sublime tranquility which made him very comfortable.
By his side, Lu Zhan Tian was like poured beans and kept talking. âWe canât continue to endure like this, president! We have to file a protest to the academy!
âWho is this Barran? A beginner who hasnât even completed his freshman curriculum! Based on his strength, theoretical knowledge, and qualifications, wasnât Adams stronger that him by a thousand times? Instead Adams was the first to be eliminated!â
After this first round of training, Adams had been eliminated. This was something Lu Zhan Tian couldnât bear.
Lu Zhan Tianâs spittle flew freely as he grew more and more worked up. âTeacher Grace is obviously biased toward the Prodigy Society. Biased toward those two pretty boys! In the past, it has always been our Saint Judgement getting first choice before others could get their share! Yet, this time weâve been stepped on by the Prodigy Society!â
âOur Saint Judgement isnât a society run by a dictatorship. Teacher had to make an informed decision based on proper considerations. Besides, Adams didnât put in the effort to succeed,â Reeves said with a faint smile. While soaking the tea leaves, he continued, âThe Prodigy Society was also able to openly snatch four quotas from us. Itâs not that Iâm not worried, just that we have to endure for now. Come and drink a cup.â
Lu Zhan Tian didnât have the heart to properly sip the tea. Instead, he poured the entire contents into his mouth. After wiping his lips, he said, âFine. But president, even though you are magnanimous and donât disregard people of lower status, did you realize that since your month long absence the complaints and cursing inside the society have grown more and more?Everyone is saying that Saint Judgement is heading downhill, that we dare not hit back even after getting stepped on by the Prodigy Society. There have also been a dozen society members who submitted their resignations while saying they wished to join the Prodigy Society. I was lucky enough to keep this under control, elseâŚâ
âThis is a society, not a jail. Other than the societyâs core strength which has been enjoying its resources, everyone else has their right to leave for another society.â Reeves spoke without the slightest fluctuation in his expression, as if he were talking about the matters of other societies. âLet them go. Since their hearts have already left, forcing them to stay will only make them feel more repulsed.â
âBut!â Lu Zhan Tian was slightly worried. During the previous Societal Battle heâd been given a slap in the face by Wang Zhong, which caused his prestige within the academy to completely disappear. This made him a laughing stock among the students. He had always been thinking of how he would get revenge against the Prodigy Society and Wang Zhong.
His personal strength was a bit lacking, and now there were less sycophants that listened to his every word. The only way he could have an absolute chance of victory was to incite Reeves. But this time, Reeves, a person who couldnât tolerate others, was uncharacteristically being so calm and collected?
Reeves sighed faintly and said, âRight now, my primary focus is on group training. You should have heard of the Prodigy Societyâs outstanding performance in the first phase of the training. Itâs said the next group training will be the following week. Teacher Grace is currently preparing a few special props and locations. If she meets with any problems, then the next group training will be postponed for some time.
âAs such, our squad members should adjust themselves and regain both a proper mentality and good condition. The next phase will be even more dangerous; there might even be some risk to oneâs life.â
Lu Zhan Tian gawked slightly. Risk to oneâs life?
âTherefore, Adams being eliminated in the first round might not be a bad thing for him. Perhaps it may have even saved his life.â
Lu Zhan Tian tried probing and asked, âIs it really that dangerous? What exactly is the location?â
âThis is considered a secret of the group training and cannot be divulged to outsiders,â Reeves replied, shaking his head.
âPresident, Iâm not an outsider! Iâm just curious!â Lu Zhan Tianâs thoughts had already started to adapt. âSince I didnât get to attend this group training this time, I felt very miserable. Understanding a bit wouldnât hurt.â
Reeves laughed bitterly and shook his head. âThe number of suitable places in Tianjing Cityâs vicinity isnât numerous.â
Lu Zhan Tian gawked and suddenly understood. âPresident, your tea is simply too delicious. Where did you get it from? Next time, would you mind helping me get some? Iâll head out first and settle some stuff.â
As he watched Lu Zhan Tianâs departing back, Reeves slowly sipped his teaâŚ
â
President Ma Dong had no interest in the group training, but activities involving friendship was his favourite. All of the skills he learned was for making friends.
When school ended, the most energetic person was Ma Dong. Wang Zhong, Grai, and Barran were all called to attend by Ma Dong. If one wanted to have the poise of a gentleman, one must always arrive slightly before the start of the event.
As for Emily⌠in all honesty, Ma Dong didnât want to bring her along. This younger cousin of his wasnât capable of much, but her skill in destroying the atmosphere was definitely at the peak. Yet, this lass prefered to stick to Wang Zhong and definitely wouldnât let this opportunity pass by. But of course, exceptions did occur and Emily had been called away by Department Head Moore. For Ma Dong, it was like the heavens had listened to his prayers.
To him, the perfect scenario was having Wang Zhong, Grai, and Barran as his three super supporters. With them, how could he not thoroughly conquer these few beautiful ladies!
When faced with their presidentâs exhilaration, the only thing the three could do was watch over him. Scarlet had already booked a good location in the music club and everything else had been prepared by Ma Dong. How could this kind of thing be allowed to trouble those beautiful ladies?
âCough cough. You three should listen up. As your president and senior I can say that you guys are the truest beacons of light. Such a gathering could mean you have a chance to lose your virginity! Music and alcohol can light up oneâs passion and youth. Therefore, you guys will have to put down your training and put down the CHF. You are all young and radiate both manliness and charisma! Now go and conquer the girl you like!â
Ma Dong spoke in high spirits, but Wang Zhong just shook his head helplessly. Grai stared blankly and Barran actually started to blush.
When he saw the reactions of his three great generals, Ma Dong showed an expression filled with resentment. âHave you guys not heard of Tianjingâs old era saying? Blossoms worthy of being folded must be folded! Let there be no blossom left for the wind to fold back onto its branch!â
âPresident, what does that mean? Arenât flowers not allowed to be broken like that?â Barran asked with a blank expression.
Ma Dong gawked as he now realized what it truly meant when one talked to a brick wall. âCough cough. What I mean is that at the gathering later, make sure you go all out with your drinking and singing. It doesnât matter if you canât sing, what matters is that you participate!â

Ma Dongâs gaze was quite fraudulent. If this fellow doesnât sing, how can it contrast with my greatness!?
âYou can sing if you want. In my opinion it would be best if you just listen.â
âVice-president Wang Zhong. Look at how much Iâve supported your work! Now itâs your turn to support me in my work!â
Wang Zhong shrugged his shoulders helplessly. Talking reason with this fellow was absolutely useless since he would always have tens of thousands of reasons waiting in line.
After around a dozen minutes later, Scarlet and the rest finally arrived. As expected, they were beautiful ladies of Black Rose and consisted of Scarlet, Milami, and two young and adorable junior sisters. What was this called? A wonderful combination!
