Face-Slapping System

Chapter 136 Class President

His classmate frowned as they began observing Roland in silence. Their hearts raced as they realized that there was already something different about him compared to the last time, they saw him.

"Heh, who cares. He's still wearing the same plain clothes. It's obvious that he still doesn't have the money to buy good clothes for himself," one of them finally reacted after seeing that all attention was now drawn to Roland for some unknown reason.

The others thought for a moment before they nodded their heads in agreement.

Roland was indeed still wearing the same plain clothes he used to wear. The only difference was that the one he was wearing now was not dilapidated and its color had not faded compared to before.

However, to them, the plain clothes he was wearing was no different from the ones he was wearing before. In the end, they finally ignored Roland and began talking to themselves again.

However, everyone was not the same.

In the first row, the first seat, someone was looking at Roland with a scrutinizing gaze.

As if sensing the gaze, Roland also looked over, only to find that it was the elected class president, Madison, looking at him intently.

Roland felt strange being stared at by her. In the end, Roland could only smile wryly as he ignored her existence.

However, Madison stood up the next moment and walked towards him with light steps.

Roland looked over, curious at what she was about to do.

At the same time, Roland began observing her as she walked towards him.

Madison was a tall woman standing over 172 centimeters in height. She was a pretty woman to say the least. She was at least a league above Anna. Paired with her good figure, she was even deemed as one of the top school beauties the moment she set foot in the campus.

She already had a lot of suitors even though the school just started a semester ago. However, rumors had it that she had not entertained a single one of them and that she was extremely focused on her studies.

'Well, nothing less from the class president and the top student in class,' Roland thought as he stared at Madison's figure.

At the same time, he could help but compare her figure to Stacey. In the end, Roland smiled inside his mind as he thought that Stacey's figure was still very stunning, even compared to a top beauty like Madison. Roland wondered what her parents looked like for them to give birth to such a gem.

At this point, Madison has already arrived in front of Roland. As everyone was busy with their own affairs, no one noticed her actions aside from her circle of friends that was now staring at their direction from the first row.

"What happened to you?" Madison blurted as she stared at Roland intently.

As the elected class president, Madison has been observing each and every one of her classmates since day of class. As the top student, she must look out for her competitors among the group in order not get outdone by them.

Since the first day of class, she also noticed Roland's unique existence from the start.

In fact, she had been observing Roland the most among all of her classmates.

Because like her, Roland was also only admitted due to his high scores during the entrance exam. She also began to look at Roland as if he was her biggest competitor.

She also descended from a poor family. Having the same situation as Roland, she could not help but compare herself to him.

Roland was handsome and wore ordinary clothes. Although he was smart, as Madison observed him, she noticed that his focus has been declining day after day since the start of the class.

At the same time, she also noticed how he would often look at the back from time to time, allowing Madison to guess that he might either have a relationship from someone sitting on the back or that he has some feelings for the person in the back row.

During the last day of the previous semester, Madison even saw Roland walking with hastened pace towards the gate. At that time, although he looked tired and battered, one could still see the expectations in his eyes.

The next morning, Madison heard some rumors about the scene at the gate during that time.

She tried contacting Roland, worried about her classmates' well-being as the class president and his rival, but his number was no longer in reach and that it had already been abandoned.

In the end, Madison had not heard of Roland since then.

Looking at him now, like the others, Madison could feel that something about him had changed.

However, she just could not put her head to what had changed about him. She could feel it but could not describe it.

After Roland consumed the level 2 potion, it could be said that some of his features returned to normal from getting exaggerated after consuming the level 1 potion.

Although his height had not shrunk, his body did, and returned to her previous thin appearance. However, the difference was that right now, Roland only looked thin, but he was actually lean and was full of strength.

Roland tilted his head, pondering about Madison's question, "What do you mean?"

Madison woke up from her daze and realized that she must have asked wrongly, "I mean, I could not contact you this past week, so I was wondering where you have been."

Roland tilted his head even further, "And why do you want to contact me?"

He stared at her eyes, as he wondered what had gotten into her head.

Roland thought back and did not seem to have any sort of talking with Madison aside from some school related matters before. He was surprised at Madison's current attitude.

Madison, realizing that she had spoken wrongly again, and that she was being nosy to Roland's private life, began to blush all of a sudden.

Yes, she had only been observing from far away before, so why did she approach and talk to him all of a sudden without any reason? Was she that worried about him after hearing those rumors?

"N-nothing!" Madison blurted out as she turned around and sat back to her seat.

At the same time, various thoughts ran through her mind as she recalled the conversation just now.

'He has indeed changed,' she thought.

Before, Roland would only respond with a nod, or with just a shake of his head when Madison tried to converse with him before.

At that time, one could see his low-esteem and that he doesn't like socializing with people. His head was always dropped down, as if afraid of making eye contact with anyone around him.

Now however, Roland was able to talk to her in full sentence all the while staring at her eyes without backing down.

'His confidence seems to have grown. He has become even more handsome,' this thought suddenly appeared on her mind as an unconscious smile appeared on her face.

Her friend beside her looked at her as if she was going nuts, "Hey, hey. Wake up. Why are you smiling like that all of a sudden?"
