Council Member

Flanking Sarah White were two distinctive personalities that added depth to the student council's composition.

To Sarah's left stood Jackson Reed, the treasurer of the council. His presence exuded a sense of quiet seriousness and meticulousness. With an aura of intellect, Jackson's neatly combed hair and the spectacles perched upon his nose underscored his studious nature. His attire was always impeccable, suggesting a careful attention to detail. His posture radiated confidence, and his analytical gaze seemed to take in every aspect of his surroundings. Behind those glasses were sharp eyes that missed nothing, a characteristic well-suited to his role of managing finances and ensuring the council's resources were allocated efficiently.

Luna Morales, on the other hand, embodied a dynamic mix of curiosity and playfulness. Seated to Sarah's right, Luna's bright blue eyes held a spark of inquisitiveness, always ready to explore new ideas. Her raven-black hair framed her face, and she had a habit of absentmindedly twirling a strand between her fingers when deep in thought. Luna's fashion sense leaned toward expressive individuality, as seen in her unique clothing choices that reflected her artistic personality. Her warm and friendly smile, combined with an undercurrent of mischief, revealed her penchant for light-hearted banter and camaraderie.

'As I recalled from my previous life, the members in the student council aren't any different,' Zero thought, his memory offering parallels to his current observations. 'They are very exceptional, and Luna Morales, in particular, is quite extraordinary. With her high intelligence and physical prowess, she's another tool that I can use in the future.'

As the discussions flowed seamlessly, Zero seized the opportunity to introduce himself. "I'm Zero Elsher," he stated, his voice calm and composed. "I'm a first-year student, Rank first in class 1."

Zero's introduction was met with a mix of welcome and amusement from the student council members. Luna's playful smile widened as she responded, "Well, well, look what the cat dragged in. You certainly know how to make an entrance, Zero." Her tone carried a hint of jest, signifying her playful nature.

"Nice to meet you, Zero," Jackson chimed in, his expression slightly more reserved but still friendly. His analytical gaze seemed to assess Zero's demeanor, as if trying to decipher the young student's intentions.

Sarah, the vice-president, offered a warm smile and nodded approvingly. "We're glad to have you on board, Junior. Your enthusiasm is quite infectious."

Zero's lips curved into a genuine smile as he nodded in acknowledgment. "Thank you all for having me. I'm eager to contribute to the council's efforts."

Luna's mischievous glint returned as she teasingly remarked, "Well, just be prepared, Zero. Your arrival means extra work for me, and I'll make sure you remember it."

Before Zero could respond, Jackson's composed voice interjected, "Don't worry, Zero. She's just having her fun. We all pitch in."

Senior Sarah's reassuring tone joined the conversation. "Indeed. Luna's wit keeps us on our toes. But we're happy to have you join us, Junior."

Zero offered a slight nod of gratitude to each of them. "Thank you, Senior Sarah, Senior Jackson, and Senior Luna. I appreciate the warm welcome."

Sarah's gaze turned thoughtful as she leaned back in her chair. "We're actually waiting for one more member to arrive, but it seems they might be held up. Our council has a total of seven members aside from the president, including you."

She continued, " You already met the president and me before, Jackson Reed is a fourth year, and he is our treasurer, Luna Morales is in her third year, and she is our secretary."

"there are 2 other members from the second year and one last member from the first year, because the second year's students are having their ranking test they won't be joining us today. Instead, we are currently waiting for Clara Asher Class 2.

As the discussion flowed within the student council room, an opportunity arose for Zero to address a lingering question. He remembered seeing Clara Asher, a first-year student from Class 2, delivering an opening speech just the previous week.

Zero also remembered when she bumped into him, his skill Focused insight also didn't work on her. A thought had crept into his mind – was there a reason Clara had forgone the usual ranking tests and instead immediately joined the student council?

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Zero found the right moment to raise the inquiry. His voice held an inquisitive tone as he directed his question towards the council members. "I hope I'm not prying, but I recall seeing Clara Asher, a fellow Class 2 student, giving a remarkable opening speech. I couldn't help but wonder if there was a particular reason she didn't participate in the ranking tests and opted to join the student council instead?"

In response to Zero's query, Luna Morales, with her quick wit and playful manner, took it upon herself to answer. A knowing smile graced her lips as she took a moment to consider the question before speaking on behalf of Sarah White, the vice-president. "Ah, the story behind that decision is quite intriguing," Luna began, her voice carrying a note of amusement. "Clara Asher's father holds a significant position within the academy – a position of great importance. Their family is constantly engaged in various responsibilities that demand their time and attention."

Luna continued, her words painting a clearer picture. "Before the commencement of the academic year, Clara had already completed her entrance tests. The Asher family's pre-existing commitments meant that Clara needed a unique approach to her studies and extracurricular activities."

With a touch of emphasis, Luna conveyed the essence of Clara's choice. "She opted to dive headfirst into the student council, aiming to harness the advantages it offers. As you may know, the council wields authority comparable to that of the vice chairman of the academy."

Zero nodded in understanding, his respect for Clara's choice growing. The student council was more than just an organization; it was a platform of influence and impact. Clara's decision seemed all the more significant in light of this information.

Luna's explanation prompted Zero to inquire further. "So, the student council provides benefits that align with her goals?"

Luna's eyes twinkled with mischief as she confirmed Zero's assumption. "Maybe? I am not really sure, because she just joined just like you. and just like you, I am sure that she's not one to make decisions without careful consideration of the potential gains."

Jackson Reed, the treasurer, interjected with his analytical perspective. "It's also worth noting that Clara Asher's academic achievements are commendable. She ranked first in the Class 2 test, showcasing her prowess."

Zero absorbed the information. "First in Class 2," he repeated thoughtfully. "Impressive."

'hmmmm... I never heard of a professor called Asher in the academy in my previous life, I am not sure what to take about this...' Zero's mind is racing.

Jackson elaborated on the ranks, his tone professional and precise. "Indeed. Clara secured the top spot in Class 2. Following her are Liam Fortis, ranked second, and Seraphina Aelius, who holds the third rank."

As if in response to the conversation, the student council room's door swung open, capturing everyone's attention. In walked Clara Asher herself, her entrance commanding the room's focus. The aura surrounding her was composed yet undeniable, an embodiment of grace and purpose that left an impression on everyone present.

Her entrance marked a turning point in the meeting, as Clara Asher, with her enigmatic presence, joined the ranks of the student council members. As she took her seat, a sense of anticipation hung in the air – a realization that the council was about to embark on a journey filled with collaboration, challenges, and the collective pursuit of excellence.
