Why Should I Stop Being a Villainchapter 222: choosing sides

"So, these are the people recommended for the Student Council?" Raelyn asked as she looked at Tyrone.

"Yes, most of them were recommended by our members, and a few were recommended by Professors," Tyrone replied as he looked through the documents.

They looked at a list of students recommended to join the Student Council.

Joining the Student Council was only possible with a recommendation from an existing core member or a 3-Star Professor.

And Raelyn and the other Core members needed to choose who would join the Student Council this time.

The Student Council was split into two parts.

First, the Core Team worked solely for the Student Council.

However, while all Rankers had the right to join the Student Council, they would not be accepted into the Core Part, where all authority lay.

Leonard Tarvian and Blake Cranston were among them.

Apart from Jack Allister, all the Blood Faction's top members were not part of the Core Team of the Student Council.

"This time, we will only choose 6-10 members for the Core Team. It will be enough," Raelyn said, looking at Tyrone.

"I think that will be fine. So, should I call the Meeting and invite all these students?" Tyrone asked.

There were three committees and the Main Student Council. Only the heads could decide who would join them, and this Meeting was also meant for this purpose.

The Blood Faction would also be present at the Meeting as they were the only Faction in the World Academy.

"So, I will invite the Three Heads first," Tyrone said, noticing from Raelyn's expression that she was still not over the previous Meeting.

Raelyn watched as Tyrone left the room soon after.

She tapped on her ID Bracelet, and another list of students opened.

All of them were the First Year students who were recommended, but it was a more detailed list that included their backgrounds.

***

Tyrone was sitting in a room with a few seats for all the Committee Heads and for him and Raelyn, the Student Council President.

He looked at two more seats reserved for two people. One of them was Leonard Tarvian, the Head of the Blood Faction.

And the last seat was for the current strongest student in the World Academy.

The Rank 1 student from the Fourth Year.

These were the only reasons this Meeting couldn't be postponed further, as most fourth-year students didn't have much time. They were busy entering dangerous dungeons and completing tasks to ensure they graduated from the World Academy.

Tyrone looked at Zoie, the head of the Management Committee, enter first as she walked in with the Head of the Discipline Committee, who had also arrived.

Behind them were a few students from their Committee as well.

As they would be choosing the next members of the Committee, they were allowed to bring a few people from their committees to attend this Meeting as well.

"I hope this meeting goes well," Tyrone sighed, thinking about the rest.

Right now, the whole academy was in chaos with Asher defeating Blake Cranston, and soon this news would be revealed outside the World Academy as well.

And he saw the Hall start to fill as all the First Year students who were invited started to enter.

Among them were all the rankers and many others.

The total number of students gathered here was about 150, and they were part of the top 200 students in the Rankings.

And soon, everyone was settled. Tyrone looked at Raelyn, who entered as well.

The next one to enter was Leonard Tarvin.

Raelyn looked towards Kevin, Elena, and Eva sitting in the Hall, and she smiled at them.

Many students noticed this interaction, and it was obvious as the Student Council President was the older sister of Kevin Whiteheart.

Both of them took their seats, and Raelyn started talking with Zoie. The Head of the Discipline Committee ignored their conversation.

Tyrone took his seat as he picked up the document on the table, and a similar one was present in front of all seats.

Right now, all of them were attracting many stares from the First Year students as almost all had a significant status outside the World Academy.

But the ones gathering the most stares were Raelyn and Leonard Tarvian.

Both of them were extremely attractive individuals.

The next moment, Asher entered the room with Eric behind him, all eyes moving toward him.

"Right, he is the Head of the Duel Committee," Some students started whispering among themselves.

The recent incident with Blake made many forget that Asher was the head of one of the three committees.

Asher walked towards his seat and sat down with Eric standing behind him.

Asher looked at Damian, who was waving towards him, and Eric, who was standing behind Asher.

"He's still the same," Eric said with a smile.

He remembered seeing Damian a lot when he would visit Asher and Amelia. Normally, people like Damian would ignore Eric as he was only the son of the Head Butler, but Damian didn't mind the status gap between them.

"Silence," Raelyn spoke out as the mana pressure of a B Rank Hunter took over the Hall.

"We will start the meeting soon, so I expect you all to behave properly," Raelyn's commanding voice made the chatting the First Year stop.

Leonard just smiled seeing Raelyn, but internally, the timing around this Meeting bothered him just like Raelyn.

But this timing was the worst for him.

The Student Council was still in a better position than the Blood Faction, which had lost much respect and admiration.

"Who is the empty seat for?" Some students looked at the empty seat beside Raelyn.

But their doubts were soon over as the door opened, and two fourth-year students entered the room.

And behind them was a person who was very famous outside the World Academy.

The Rank 1 student in the Fourth Year and currently the strongest student in the World Academy.

"Isn't he the Heir of the Hargrave Family?" One of the students spoke as they saw an extremely attractive young man with brown hair enter the room.

With a smile on his face, the strongest student entered the room.

Asher's indifferent eyes met his.

"Come on, don't get so serious out of nowhere," He joked, looking at the atmosphere in the room.

But everyone in the room could feel the strength of an A Rank Hunter coming from him.

"As you know, I am your senior from the Fourth Year," He spoke,

"And I am Jayden Hargrave," He introduced himself,

"I am the current Rank 1 student in the Fourth Year," He smiled and sat beside Raelyn.

"I am here to judge the process, so don't mind me," He said.

Seeing Jayden's friendly behavior, everyone relaxed.

They almost forgot that Jayden belonged to the Hargrave Family, and currently, he was the only one with a status rivaling Asher equally.

'So he is Asher Greville,' Jayden's eyes looked to his left.

'Interesting,' Jayden smiled.

But they didn't know the true nature of Jayden Hargrave, and seeing Leonard, who was not smiling anymore, it was obvious that Jayden was not as friendly as he seemed.

"Well, you can start the meeting," Jayden said, looking at Raelyn.

Leonard, who was sitting beside Jayden, maintained his neutral face. Jayden was someone he knew very well.

"As you all know, this meeting was called so that we could select a few among you to become our members," Raelyn began the Meeting.

Her words made many students nervous, as most wanted to join the Student Council.

"Apart from the Rankers, none of you are part of the Student Council yet," Raelyn said.

Being one of the Top 10 Rankers meant you were allowed to join Student Council the moment they became Rankers.

"And we are here to announce the names of the people that I have chosen to join the Student Council first," Raelyn said as she looked back at one of the student council members.

One by one, the member used the list and announced the 40 members allowed to join the Student Council.

Many students were disappointed as their names were not on the list.

A recommendation didn't mean they would be accepted, as many factors, including their ranks, were also considered.

Only those recommended by the professors were allowed to join directly through recommendation.

"And those who were not chosen need to submit their application to the heads present here at the end of the Meeting. Some of you might get accepted that way," Raelyn said.

Only 48 students were selected.

"And among the mentioned 40 and the 8 Rankers," Tyrone took over from Raelyn as everyone looked at him.

"You are part of the Student Council, but you cannot use the authority of the Student Council unless you are inside the Core Team," Tyrone explained.

"There are three committees, the Student Council Core Team and the Blood Faction, which is a new addition," Tyrone said.

"Each head will announce the people they want, and you can choose whether or not you want to join," Tyrone continued.

"Well, what will be the order?" Tyrone asked Jayden, who had been sitting there silently.

"Hmm, why not start with the Head of the Duel Committee," Jayden suggested, causing Leonard and Raelyn to frown.
