After waiting for a couple of seconds one of the three girls that are always together spoke.
“Could you tell us, what are the responsibilities of the representative and what are its privileges?”.
Boris nodded.
“The representative is the authority when I’m not here, of course that doesn’t mean he can do anything he wants, I will receive a report of his actions to deem if they were correct or not, it’s basically a preparation to become a leader… and it will be the priority when it comes to choose the one that will lead the class in the inter-academic tournament”.
After Boris explanation, more people got interested in the position, the guy that got the third rank in the class and of course Alexander too, but the same could be said of the girl that asked first.
“I want to be the representative”.
“I’ve always leaded others, the best option is me!!”.
“First come first served, chose me tutor Ogien”.
As if suddenly being the representative was the goal of their lives, the three of them postulated themselves, which made Boris smile, he with a calm and firm tone said.
“It sure brings joy to my heart to see the young generation having some good initiative, the representative will be Daimon”.
…
Not only those who asked to be the class representative were speechless, Daimon who wasn’t even paying attention while he flirted with Aisha, was also in awe.
“I refuse, I’m not interested in becoming a babysitter”, he said while looking at Boris.
The old man had a cunning smile on his face when he explained.
“Don’t jump to conclusions so easily, being the first ranked student makes you the representative anyway, besides if you chose to reject the position you would have to obey others commands, are you okay with that?”.
Daimon shook his head.
“Luckily even if other becomes the representative, I will just ignore him, I did the same when the opponent was an Archmage and a vice principal on top of that, so do you expect me to receive orders from someone I don’t respect? dream on”.
The girl who was the fifth ranked and the third ranked guy sat again, but Alexander gritted his teeth.
“He doesn’t want the position, so why are you so adamant on giving it to him, that is nepotism!!!”, he exclaimed.
Boris had a weird smile on his face.
“So, what, what are you going to do Alexander, are you perhaps going to accuse with the vice principal which is your uncle… like yesterday when your petition was rejected?”.
While Alexander froze in the spot, Boris laughed out loud.
“Being a leader is not something that can be “assigned”, its something you are born with, a moment ago, when the temperature of the room rose up, the only one that spoke on behalf miss Aliya was Daimon… you all lack conscience of your surroundings which a must for someone that leads”.
The old man turned to see Daimon and threw a note at him, when Daimon saw the message written on it, he mentally sighed.
“If things are like this I accept, but I won’t be responsible for those three”, said Daimon while pointing at Alexander and his lackeys.
Boris laughed.
“No worries, to be honest your only duty for the time being is making sure that no one causes troubles to your teacher… for obvious reasons”.
Daimon felt exasperated, “just assign a bodyguard for her, I’m a student you know?”, he thought, but there was no point in complaining, the note he got was written by Aura, being the class representative will have a deeper meaning this particular year, so she wanted Daimon to get the position no matter what.
Boris clapped.
“Well, that finishes my part for the time being, once your classroom lessons are over, miss Aliya will take you to the training grounds for the magic combat lessons, I look forward to see everyone’s performance hahaha”.
After saying that Boris left the classroom, not without reminding Daimon he was allowed to respond in the way he considered optimal, in case of any “trouble”, basically he could act first and report later.
Now that Boris was gone, Aliya took over again, this was the first class of the whole year, and apparently the first activity is always the same no matter in which plane of existence you live… presenting yourself to your classmates.
Aliya drank the liquid from a little crystal bottle she had hanging on her belt, her expression which was a kind of lethargic got a bit better, she then spoke.
“As I was saying, I’m Aliya Rubreum and I will be your teacher for this year, since you already heard my story from tutor Ogien, then present yourselves, from the lowest ranked to the highest ranked… but don’t get mad if I forget your names, I’m quite terrible at things like that”.
This time Daimon did pay attention, if Aura wanted him to be the representative, so much that she personally sent him a note instead of leaving it to his criterium, then it was not going to be as simple as just playing to be the class president like back on earth, so if he had to do it anyway, then he might as well be distinguished instead of mediocre.
The tenth ranked guy stood from his seat and spoke.
“My name is Calvin Ghrish, I’m 23 years old and I come from the dessert coyote clan, my affinity is earth, I’m currently the tenth rank and… I’m single hahaha”.
Calvin was a tall brown-haired man with slight signs of a beard, unlike others who were wearing more modern like clothes he was using a mix between leather and metal armor and a robe.
Leaving aside the fact that the guy seemed like an airhead, Daimon was confused by the fact that Calvin didn’t have animal characteristics, but since it was not his problem then he ignored it.
Following with the presentation the two “lackeys” of Alexander continued.
“My name is Jason Jolbaris, I’m 18 years old, my affinity is wind, I’m the ninth rank and I come from a secondary branch of the Jolbaris family”.
Jason was like other members of the Jolbaris family, tiger characteristics like the ears and tail, unlike alexander his hair wasn’t orange but dark brown, a sign that he wasn’t part of the main family.
Daimon smirked, “well next is mister lackey number two I guess”, he thought.
After Jason finished his presentation, the other member of the Jolbaris family took over, unlike the previous one, this was less talkative.
“Daniel Jolbaris, 20 years old, affinity water… I’m the eight rank and like Jason I come from a branch of the Jolbaris family”.
Unlike Jason, Daniel’s hair was a mix between brown and orange so he did have blood from the main family, from his father probably, but unfortunately his affinity wasn’t lightning
The next in line was one of the three girls.
“My name is Leslie Risha, I’m 14 years old, ranked seventh, my affinity is fire and I come from one of the three main branches of the Risha family, the Fire Crane clan!!!”.
Contrary to what Daimon knew about the Risha family, the girl that present just now didn’t have any bird characteristics… at least not visibly, some races manifested changes later when they reached certain realms, when their mana manifested or even when their mood changed.
“Well, she for sure is quite energetic”, thought Daimon.
She had a slender agile figure which did make her look like an elegant delicate bird, her hair was light brown with a reddish tone that reminded Daimon the color of leaves in autumn.
A moment later everyone understood why those three girls were always together despite the fact that they didn’t look alike, the next girl stood and presented herself, unlike Leslie she was more on the gloomy side.
“My name is… Yvonne Risha, I’m 15 years old, I occupy the sixth rank, my affinity is darkness and I’m also a part of the Risha family like Leslie, but I come from the Night Sparrow clan”.
Yvonne was a tall girl with long black hair, she had slight bags under her eyes, and was wearing black clothes, she looked a bit depressed.
The last girl of the group which was also the one that tried to postulate for the class representative position earlier, stood up and spoke.
“Liliana Risha, I’m 14 years old, my affinity is ice, I occupy the fifth rank… for now, I’m also from one of the three main clans of the Risha family like Leslie and Yvonne, but I come from the Snow Eagle clan”.
Liliana had long white hair and her eyes had a strange color between ash and blue, she wasn’t as tall as Yvonne, but even when she was the same age as Leslie, she looked older than her.
Daimon was amused by her words, when she said that she was only temporarily the fifth ranked, she directed a sharp gaze at Alexander which clearly meant she was aiming for his spot.
“Well, he deserves it for being an asshole… the guy from the Risha family that tried to mess with me was somehow related to him after all”, he thought.
