Chapter 252: Alavenya's Decision (Bonus)
"What in the world is this?" Flora gasped.
The room was much messier than previously described. The shelves were destroyed, the bottles were shattered, and the liquid was scattered all over the floor.
Even all the decorations had been destroyed, as though there was an explosion in the middle of the room.
"What happened here?"
The secretary, Regynar, hurriedly examined the scene, checking everything that happened. "From the looks of it, this is an attack. Someone must have destroyed this place with Ena. First, this person destroyed the shelves. Then he/she took the bottles and smashed them to the floor. After that, he destroyed the entire room."
"Is this what you're aiming for, Flora?" The treasurer Leon squinted his eyes.
Flora's expression turned solemn, as if this was beyond her imagination.
As a result, the people started to lose trust in her. If this continued, Flora would lose her influence in the student council before long.
Because of that very reason, Axel had no other choice but to start his plan earlier.
He had to approach a person and establish his own influence within the student council. Flora had taken in Selena while Nathan had left the student council.
This would be a perfect time for him. The person he approached was none other than Alavenya.
"What did you say?" Alavenya crossed her arms. "I have no intention of joining the student council."
"It seems your reason for coming into this school is because of Student Nathan. I wonder if you have any special relationship with him." Axel smiled.
"You bastard. You dare to mention his name? I'm going to punch you like how I'm going to punch him!" Alavenya was glaring at Axel.
This reaction was enough for Axel to understand the relationship between the two. And this was perfect.
Axel raised two fingers. "Hear me out a bit. First of all, joining the student council might bring you no merit since I can see you don't really care about it. Student Nathan joined the student council, but he left yesterday.
"If you join the student council, doesn't this mean you are better than him?
"And his girl has been taken in by the student council president. I'm sure that he is using her to gain the student council's influence.
"If you join the student council, you will be able to mess with his girl. As a result, he will come directly to you in a fit of anger. While it's true that the upperclassmen can't challenge the first-year students yet, the same can't be applied to the other way around.
"If the first-year student is the one challenging the upperclassmen, even the teachers have to agree." He smirked.
To his surprise, Alavenya smashed the table with her fist and said in anger, "I am no coward who has to resort to that kind of trick. If I'm going to beat him, I will beat him with my strength."
Axel's smile remained on his face, but he was fuming inside. He had thought that it would be easy to convince Alavenya, but he never thought she would be this foolish.
"You're going to regret this!" Axel bit his lips. "If he rejoins the student council, it'll be close to impossible for you to challenge him. After all, Flora will do everything she needs to protect him!"
Alavenya stopped for a moment before turning around. Before leaving, she said, "My father has told me one thing. There are two things that you can hold from a man. The lower half and the upper half. If they can't even hold the promise their mouths utter, that means you can crush the other one so that there's nothing you can hold from that man.
After all, he's such a pathetic man that is even worse than a woman. You don't have to convince me anymore."
Axel clenched his fists. He never thought Flora would be this foolish.
…
"How is the student council?" Nathan asked while eating before glancing to his side. "And why are you here?"
"I don't have friends in the class, so you don't mind if I join you guys, right?" Sera smiled.
"If I say I mind, will you leave?" Nathan let out a long sigh.
Sera only smiled, not answering the question.
It was probably because she started living with Nathan that Selena didn't feel jealous of Sera. In the end, she was acting this desperate while she had a lot of advantages over her.
Ignoring her, Selena replied, "Everything is chaotic. There is tension in the student council, which ends up splitting them into three groups. The first one is Flora and Noelle, who remain close.
"The second group is Regynar, Leon, and Lovelia. They don't want to do much with the current politics within the student council.
"The third one is Axel. He has approached Alavenya, but judging from his expression, he has failed to persuade her."
Nathan smiled wryly. "If Alavenya joins the student council, she'll probably bully you. It appears Alavenya is a much more principled person than I originally thought."
"What are you talking about? Who is this Alavenya?" Sera never thought that they would be discussing another woman casually. And Selena didn't seem to be jealous.
"The daughter of the Dragon King. Do you know him?"
"Of course I do. He is famous. Is she your enemy?" Sera looked worried. It would become trouble if Nathan offended the Dragon King. Vivian wouldn't be enough.
"I don't care if she is an enemy. No. It's better if she is an enemy, since I can crush her." Selena's expression darkened. It was clear what she meant.
Alavenya was the only one thinking they were enemies. The Dragon King must like Nathan a lot, to the point where Selena looked jealous.
"Anyway, it's good since she won't join the student council. I hope things don't get any worse. If Flora loses her position, you might get kicked out of the student council. I'm just afraid your family will use it as a way to suppress you."
A small smile appeared on Selena's face. "Don't worry. Everyone is doing their best to stabilize the situation."
The situation was actually much worse than Nathan could imagine. It wasn't just the matter about the destroyed room. There were some strange rumors circulating within the academy.
