Still, she didn’t rebuke Leon, as it was his everyday thing to tease her.
In the student council, it was a hidden yet known fact that Leon had a special interest in Victoria as a person of the opposite sex.
Though that wasn’t the reason behind Victoria being selected as the vice president of the student council.
It was Victoria’s firm yet unyielding attitude, coupled with her natural talent and potential for immense growth, that had impressed Leon.
In his eyes, humans were feeble creatures, and seeing one with such qualities had quickly caught his interest.
"Won’t you date me?"
Though his interest in Victoria was supposed to be a hidden fact, for some reason Leon was being very open about it at the moment.
Maybe it was due to the fact that he would soon have to step down from his position as the president of the student council.
Or maybe... it was something else.
Not that anyone could tell what thoughts were being processed in the head of the Black.
"Try to contact the first years and ask them to report quickly. The time for the meeting is near."
Not willing to directly give an answer to Leon, Victoria shifted her focus to Ella, who nodded her head in return.
Being the heir of one of the four ruling families of the vampires... Victoria had to be diplomatic while talking to Leon, who was a walking explosive for her.
Declining his offer before the council could very well result in the guy being offended, and that could be a disaster for the future relations between the Veltran Empire and the vampire race as a whole.
"You haven’t answered my question."
Despite Victoria’s best attempt at changing the topic, Leon didn’t seem interested in letting the matter rest.
Leon’s eyes never left Victoria, as he observed her with the same old amused smile on his face.
Though the smile didn’t seem to reach his eyes.
"They are here."
Ashlyn’s voice made everyone turn their heads towards the entrance, where a group of first years stood, nervously looking around the hall.
Leon knew that his opportunity to corner Victoria was gone, as he no longer had the reason to fill up the empty silence in the hall.
"Welcome, juniors... please take your seats."
Leon had now already returned to his natural self, as he politely asked the first years to make themselves comfortable.
"Yes, sir."
Noah was the first to move, and soon the rest of the students followed him as they sat on the chairs that had been placed for them at the end of the table.
The council members observed their new juniors with curious expressions; after all, they would be playing an important role in the upcoming elections.
All the council members from second year onwards had already been recruited by different factions within the student council, whose leaders were currently fighting for the position of the president.
And it was these first years that would be able to change the fragile balance of power and influence amongst the leading factions in the student council.
Just when Noah took his seat, all heads were turned in his direction, as they observed him curiously.
Being someone who had ranked second at the academy entrance test, and was also a... Silver 3?
The council members sitting in the hall couldn’t help but double-check.
All of them who could indeed sense Noah’s mana core checked again to make sure that their eyes weren’t deceiving them.
Everyone knew that during the entrance test, Noah was a Silver 2, which in itself was a feat worthy of recognition.
After all, most of the geniuses who had been admitted to the academy were at Silver 1 during their admissions.
And now, looking at Noah... the guy seemed to have advanced in the tiers of his rank, to become a Silver 3.
"Congratulations on becoming a Silver 3. Your talent would sure be an inspiration for your peers."
Leon’s words made everyone who had already sensed Noah’s rank nod their heads in agreement, while the rest who had just learned about it had their eyes widened in shock.
Leon too had heard about Noah’s rank when he had been admitted to the academy, and seeing the junior having advanced to Silver 3 in such a short period of time had impressed Leon more than what he had shown on the surface.
In recent years, Leon had noticed many humans with excellent talents being admitted to the academy, and couldn’t help but wonder whether humanity was having some breakthrough in its foundational capabilities.
That was why he had grown more curious about Victoria, who seemed to have a lot of hidden potential that wasn’t revealed yet.
Victoria was beautiful, making her feel like something that had been crafted from divine elements, but Leon wasn’t blinded by her beauty.
Though he was interested in her... Leon was, in the end, the heir to one of the strongest ruling houses amongst the vampires.
There was no way someone like him would lack beauties. Still, Victoria had something much more than her beauty and talent, something that had ended up drawing Leon’s attention.
And now this guy... Noah.
Leon could sense a similar level of or even greater capabilities from the kid before him than Victoria.
With a fairly well-built body, Noah did look quite the dominating one.
Noah’s face might have looked innocent to many, but it wasn’t something that could fool Leon’s eyes.
The human was full of desires and ambitions... Leon could clearly see it from the way he looked at everyone.
The junior believed himself to be greater than everyone present in this room.
The thought amused Leon, but he didn’t show it on his face.
Leon’s words had caused a brief silence to cover the entirety of the hall, as every student sitting in the area had their own thoughts to process.
The first year representatives who had tagged along with Noah to the meeting had their heads turned in his direction, as they re-evaluated the monster sitting beside them.
Many of them were trying to break through the Bronze rank in order to become a Silver core, yet their efforts were falling short.
On the other side, Noah... the guy was now at the peak of the Silver rank, with his only rival being... Kael Frost.
Or was Kael still stronger than Noah—
He had to be.
