Chapter 225 - The Student Council
As soon as they heard the baby's crying sound, they stormed inside the room as they found the doctor carrying the baby and cleaning him up.
"Ooh!" Michael couldn't help but pump his fist and roar.
"Congratulations, Father."
"Congratulations, Sir Michael."
Kai and Michelle smiled, looking at the little guy over there before realizing that Nathan was nowhere to be found. They thought he would be the most excited one to see this little guy, but it seemed they were wrong.
"By the way, where is Sir Nathan?" Kai whispered to avoid disturbing the lady and the baby.
"He has something to do, so I am going to film this and send it to him." Michael shrugged before he went to the doctor and carried the baby to Michelle's mother, Daisy Graham.
"Look at this little guy… He will surely be a hero in the future."
Daisy gently smiled, even though she was very tired. "Have Michelle told you about his name?"
"Yes. I am sorry. To think my plan is…" Michael didn't continue since Kai was still there.
"Fufu…" Daisy shook her head. "It's fine. In fact, I've got the inspiration from you. Looking at how you treasure Kai, I know that we, including Michelle, will treasure this little guy too. That's why his name is the priceless one, Anthony."
Michael smiled and softly hugged her together with the baby. Daisy glanced at Kai and Michelle. "You two should try to carry him too…"
To his dismay, Michael decided to let go Anthony. Michelle carried him gently like how her mother taught her, followed by Kai. Unfortunately, Tasha and Ayaka decided to not join because this was a happy time for Graham Family, so it was better for them to wait for another few days.
Meanwhile, Kai spent the rest of the day with Graham Family, welcoming the little guy with warmth.
…
A few weeks later, on the last day of the month, graduation finally arrived.
Michelle brought Kai to meet with the student council to watch them one last time. As expected, the Student Council President gave the graduation speech with Mia as the female representative.
Because of this, the student council would reshuffle as the new student council would take over the job. As for who would replace the current student council, no one knew.
"Kai Carter. I want you to be the next student council president. Seeing your prestige in the base and the school, no one will dare to steal the seat from you, I believe." After the ceremony ended, the former president came to him together with his friends.
"That's right. With Michelle as your vice president, I believe there won't be any problem." Mia smiled.
"It's not my position, and it won't ever be." Kai's answer was very different from their expectation, but none of them had a big reaction as if they had expected this.
"Well, I also never expected you would accept. I was just kidding to be honest. If you accepted, it would be great, but if not, then who cares?" The president shrugged, brushing the matter off.
"That's right. Who cares about the student council…" Michelle pouted.
"Actually, that's what I want to know. As you know that with the third year graduating today, there will be a huge difference in the school ranking, especially among the top 100. I have read the statistics for one last time, and you will become one of the top ten groups despite completing a few missions.
"If I am not wrong, it should be 7th, right Mia?" He glanced at his vice president.
"Yes. After losing to you, the Eagle group also has recovered and will soon become the 6th, one rank after you. I know that you won't care about this, but I believe there are many second years that set their eyes on your team." Mia nodded with a grim expression.
"Trouble again huh…" Kai sighed. "I have many problems right now and don't think I will care about other students, including the Student Council."
"Thought so. Still, there are three candidates that might aim for my seat. They are coming from three top groups… No, maybe they are the new top three groups in the school now. The former second rank group, Golden. The former fifth, Thunder Group. And the last group is the former tenth, Slayer Group."
"Looking at these three, the Slayer's group leader, Maddix, won't be able to compete with the two. After all, he is known as someone scary even in the second year… It will be hard for him to gain votes from the students. Meanwhile, that Thunder Group's Xavier falls short against the Golden group's Janessa." Michelle thought for a moment before saying.
"Why does the change in the student council affect our group?" Kai frowned as he didn't understand the school's system. He understood that there would be a reshuffle among the group because the group with third-year students would either get their points reset or disband entirely.
"You are too focused on the matter outside the school. You know that I have been protecting you from making sure that the previous number one group, Dawn, to stop challenging you? You might not know this, but that's the real situation." The president shook his head and sighed.
"…" Kai stared at him to check whether he was lying or not.
"He had been asking me to force the Lion Group to fight the Dawn Group. Of course, I rejected him all the time. That's why you have a leisure school life. If the new student council takes over, your peace might be disturbed. Let's see… I can give you missions from time to time, especially a hard mission. This will create big trouble for you, but yeah, it will also create big trouble for me, considering the Graham Family and Ria Ross stay by your side.
"However, there is more than I can do that can disturb you without annoying those two. That's why you should be ready." The president let out a long sigh and patted his shoulders.
Kai widened his eyes slightly. He knew that the student councils often said his name in their meeting, but he never paid attention to it. On the other hand, if what he heard was true, he will need some preparations to ensure the student council doesn't mess with him.
"In any case, Janessa will probably become the next student council… As for her identity, I think you should ask Michelle about it."
Kai tilted his head and glanced at Michelle.
"Do you remember General Ethan in Cuba?" Michelle asked.
"Yeah. I do remember. That battle is a mess." Kai nodded before he realized something. "Does he have a son or daughter in this school? No, I should say daughter huh…"
"Correct. Janessa is his daughter. Well, I have some contact with her, considering Sir Ethan is my grandfather's best friend. However, if you want some information, I think you should ask Tommy from Isabelle's group."
"What is his relationship?" Kai furrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't you think that it is strange that Tommy joins Isabelle's group as the last guy? And there are more, but I will list them for you at a later date. I only want you to know that he might become the vice president of the Student Council…"
"!!!" Kai thought for a moment and asked. "Is she his sister or something?"
Hearing this topic, Evan thought of something brilliant. He could direct his embarrassment by using a scapegoat, so he said. "Close! They are engaged. Ethan and Tommy's father are comrades in arms, and they have promised to marry them since both of them reach 3-Star General. Well, their situation is pretty complicated, but we have a kind of relationship with the Eagle Group, so she might pull some strings on us in the future."
"That's not a good idea. As much as I want to get shocked by the news, I should think about what I need to do from now on." Kai sighed.
"Yeah. Well, judging from Tommy's character, he might oppose this, he also doesn't want to join the student council. That's why I am afraid that Tommy won't have the power to resist her." She sighed.
"I won't pry about their private matters. What I want to know is how they will affect us, so I can create a countermeasure for this."
"Actually, there is no need to do that. She will need around two or three months before the school starts to accept them as the new student council. After all, they want to confirm whether this student council sent the students to their deaths or not. That's why you have another few months to do something about it. As for what to do… The only way is to talk with her." The president let out a sigh.
"I still have time to do it then." Kai nodded.
"Do you mean the raid mission?" The president asked. "It's true that she won't try to pull some tricks behind your back for these few months, but you should still keep a watch against her. I am not saying she is a fool or not… It's just… hard to see her real intent. Anyway, just keep a watch against her so she won't bite you. She was the one that tried to replace me when I was in charge, after all. With your prestige, you are a threat. It won't be too much, but it won't be too light either."
"I know. I will do anything I can in these few months." Kai nodded.
Finally, the talk was over, and the rest of the group returned.
The new semester started, and Kai got to be in the same class as Ayaka and Michelle, albeit that joy didn't last long because they had a transfer student.
It was a white-haired beauty, comparable to Michelle. She smiled brightly and introduced herself. "I am Sofia Campbell. Nice to meet you."
"Good. Sit on wherever you want."
Sofia smirked as he began walking toward Kai.
