Chapter 220 Who Gets Chosen
The first group they talked about was the Student Council.
Members of the Student Council were the strongest people in the academy. They were not just top talents. Most of them also came from powerful families or organizations.
Simply put, most of them were wealthy.
If you became a Student Council member and later graduated, the most likely job was to work under a Mythic-level Professional, managing planets and territories.
A Mythic-level Professional was a Star Domain Lord.
Graduates from the academy often became Starlords.
For people in management roles like this, having money behind them helped a lot. That was why the Student Council favored wealthy students. Still, they were also willing to invest in truly exceptional geniuses-as long as they were strong enough.
“President, what do you think about Joanna? Should we invite her to join the Student Council?” The speaker was a woman wearing a single eyepiece and holding a thick book.
When the book opened, Joanna’s image appeared on the pages. The image was moving, as if it were alive.
Both the book and the eyepiece were Diamond-tier items.
“Profession: Scriber
“Name: Samantha Day
“Talent: Eye of Insight (SSS Rank)
“Position: Vice President of the Student Council
“The President of the Student Council was the top student of the fourth year-Marlon Lawson.
“Class: Assassin
“Talent: Heart of the Hunt (SSS Rank p>
The effect of Heart of the Hunt was simple and brutal. Every time Marlon killed an enemy at his level or higher, his attack power increased by one point.
It was the kind of talent fate gave to a main character.

Marlon also came from a major family. In his clan, there was already a Mythic-level Professional known as Nomis Lawson.
Marlon stood here through pure strength.
“How has Joanna been improving lately?” Marlon asked.
Samantha answered calmly, “After the program ended, her attribute growth slowed down. Her attribute points have almost stopped increasing. She also spends only about half her time at the academy. She needs more Origin Energy each day to train, but the results are small.
“However, her level is rising very fast. She is Level 28 now. Once she reaches Level 30, she can form another contract. Based on her current stability, there is a high chance the next contract target will be similar in strength to the previous one. If that happens, her total combat power could increase by about 125 p>
Marlon nodded, then his expression turned cold.
“What a pity! That still isn’t enough p>
He continued, “Summoners are spread-out classes by nature. No matter how strong they look early on, they fall behind later. Once other classes master forbidden spells, Summoners get pushed out. What surprised me was that some elites were eliminated by Joanna instead.
“In the late stage, a Summoner has more and more contract targets, but resources can’t keep up. The growth rate only drops lower and lower p>
Samantha adjusted her glasses and added, “There is one more detail. From what we observed, Joanna doesn’t seem to invest much into training her contract beasts.
“It’s possible her Bloodcall Circle comes from a design developed by Professor Carpenter. That type of circle needs very few training resources p>
Marlon let out a chuckle. “That makes me trust her even less. If she isn’t training them, is it because she doesn’t want to or because she’s too poor p>
In Marlon’s eyes, Joanna was like many other Summoners. She used her contract beasts for convenience, but didn’t truly commit to raising them.
That was both the strength and the weakness of the Summoner class.
Some contract beasts didn’t need training at all. They were just disposable tools.
Others required so many resources that Summoners simply couldn’t afford them. In the end, their growth stalled completely.

“I’m choosing a successor,” Marlon said flatly. “Not someone who’s just a bit stronger than average. If she’s not good enough, we’ll pick a second-year member instead p>
By academy rules, fourth-year students who held club positions had to hand over their duties one month after the new term began. This was especially true for roles like President and Vice President.
That meant new students had one month to join clubs.
During that month, every major club tried to recruit the people they valued most and offered internal slots.
Top students were always targets of recruitment.
But Marlon had already lost interest in Joanna’s talent and class. He gave up on her completely.
Besides the Student Council, the academy had three other clubs with real power.
Public Relations Club, Combat Club, and Finance Club.
The Public Relations Club handled the academy’s public image. They built personas, managed reputations, and turned talent into commercial value.
The Combat Club was full of battle fanatics. Dax, even though he was only a second-year student, was already a Vice President there. In recent years, the club had developed a strange culture. Big muscles were everything. Most members were berserkers and brute-force fighters who believed in solving problems with raw power.
The Finance Club managed trade and transactions. Almost every member had a major financial group backing them. It was a club for the rich. Right after the freshman gala ended, Garfield had already been pre-selected to join.
The Student Council didn’t want Joanna. She just offended both the President and Vice President of the Public Relation Club.
