Chapter 119
"The activities organized by the academy should be actively participated in. Our ss has many
good-looking students. You also don''t need to worry about the speechpetition. If you actively
sign up, I will find ways to improve your Terranish proficiency!" Kerry passionately promised.
"This is a rare opportunity for our ss to shine in academy activities. We must bravely toss our
hats in the ring and participate. We need to prove that although our academic performance may not
be as good as the other sses, we are not worthless," she added.
Katie was the first to stand up and politely decline, "No, Ms. Lane. We are quite self-aware. We
don''t want to bite off more than we can chew."
"Yeah, miss. We just want to live our lives peacefully," another student chimed in.
Several eager female students who considered participating changed their minds when they
learned about the additional tutoring. They were only there to obtain the Cavenridge International
Academy certificate and didn''t want any extra hassle.
"Oh damn! Someone just nominated Hera!" a student suddenly eximed in the ss.
Katie immediately pulled up the forum page on her device, asking, "Who nominated her?"
"I don''t know—it was anonymous."
"Damn. Wasn''t the anonymous feature disabledst time? Why is it back?"
"I heard someone hacked into the academy''s system and yed a prank, but the academy
programmers fixed it."
"What a mess! It''s much better with real names, so we can weed out the imposters."
The ssroom erupted withints.
Meanwhile, in ss A, a voice eximed, "Hera from ss K signed up!"
"Oh, she''s that rich girl from the countryside. She''s pretty, but can she handle giving a speech in
Terranish?"

"Let''s not vote for her, lest she publicly embarrass the academy on its anniversary."
"Yeah. Let''s vote for our ss president instead."
"Right. Our ss is the true representative of Cavenridge students."
Cindy Fry, the ss president of ss A, ranked first academically among sophomores. She even
scored an impressive eight out of ten in terms of attractiveness ording to the boys'' aesthetic
standards.
She was currentlyparing her vote count with the male candidates for the title. Christopher and
Zyler were neck and neck, both leading by a wide margin among the boys.
Cindy herself was also leading among the many other girls who were participating.
She was fantasizing about performing on stage at the anniversary celebration with Christopher
when Hera''s entry immediately tied her vote count.
Just then, the discussions among Cindy''s ssmates gave her a new surge of hope. She was
about to speak up when she was interrupted by her deskmate, Lily.
"Hera''s eagerness to participate is a disy of her courage. We should apud her bravery in
trying," Lily remarked.
Her unexpected defense of Hera drew curious nces from many ssmates.
Several ssmates who were close to Lily knew of her dislike for Hera, prompting them to wonder
why she was suddenly speaking up in Hera''s favor.
"Well, I just pity her. She managed to reim her position in the Everett family, but then they went
bankrupt. Isn''t that sad? Seeing her still strive in such circumstances is admirable. That''s why I think
we should support her and not discourage her," Lily exined.
She felt somewhat disgusted with herself for expressing sentiments she didn''t truly feel.
While backing Hera was not something Lily would consider, she relished the thought of witnessing
Hera embarrass herself in public. She was determined to settle the score for Hera''s past humiliation
of her.
"Very well said, Lily. I didn''t expect you to be so kind," a ssmate chimed in, echoing Lily''s
sentiment.
The response stirred sympathy among everyone as they found Lily''s argument reasonable. After all,
Hera was undeniably beautiful and seemed genuinely pitiable. Consequently, they all cast their
votes for Hera, with some even persuading other ssmates to do the same.
