My starting summon is a small skeleton

Chapter 258: 255 takes office



Jiangnan University, under the organization of the Student Council.

The excited students crowded the medical room into a circle.

As the crowd gathered, the deafening cheers gradually transformed into a name.

"Lu Wu!" "Lu Wu!" "Lu Wu!"

They vented their current excitement and joy in this manner.

With such a commotion, neither the school authorities nor Lu Wu's side could remain silent.

On the school's side, Zhang Wentao immediately organized a meeting to discuss how to resolve the issue.

In his view, it wasn't much of a discussion but just a formality.

"Now that everyone has seen the situation, since the students all want it this way, let's just go with the flow!" said Zhang Wentao.

His words won the approval of half of the teachers present.

Jiangnan University had been declining year by year in recent years.

Moreover, after a dozen masters from their school were overthrown by Zhang Yuechu alone, the prestige of the upper echelons among the students had reached rock bottom.

On the other hand, Lu Wu had become Jiangnan University's greatest pride in decades.

His appointment as Student Council President would indeed be a good thing.

However, equally, there were those who were less pleased.

They had many reasons for their displeasure, but ultimately all their concerns centered on Lu Wu's deep traces of Jiang Yuexing and the issue of Lu Wu being only a freshman.

Surprisingly, these voices were quite loud, making the originally procedural meeting somewhat contentious.

At that moment, Grandmaster Li Mingrui had not given a stance as one of the big shots present.

When both sides noticed this, they realized that Li Mingrui was no longer at his seat at some point.

Looking again, they saw Li Mingrui had moved to the window, his eyes gazing outside.

After a long while, Li Mingrui turned to look at the people present, particularly at those who were opposed.

"Who can tell them the opposition?" he asked.

Was this a soul-searching question?

Indeed, who could go and speak words of dissent to this group of excited students?

Moreover, under these circumstances, did their opposition or approval even matter anymore?

On one side were the high-ups whose reputation was tarnished by being overthrown by a single person, and on the other side was Lu Wu, who had fiercely contested on behalf of Jiangnan University.

If they positioned themselves against Lu Wu, they would effectively be standing against the students.

Given the current state of Jiangnan University, what might happen was hard to predict.

So in the end, the school authorities ultimately only approved Zhang Wentao's proposal to appoint Lu Wu as the immediate President of the Student Council.

This appointment was posted on the campus network right away.

The release of this appointment further ignited the already excited student sentiments, plunging the entire campus into celebration. The cheering could be heard for miles around Jiangnan University.

While the students were happy, the teachers now had a headache.

They tried several times, using threats and earnest persuasion, hoping to get these over-enthusiastic students to calm down and return to class, but it was largely ineffective.

Ultimately, it was Lu Wu who came out.

When Lu Wu appeared, the issue was quickly resolved.

He didn't actually say anything clever. In fact, he wanted to, but before he could, he only had time for an opening line.

"Please give Mr. Lu some face..."

Then, as if honoring his request, the students suppressed their joy and returned to their classrooms.

This left the hard-working teachers who had spent half a day trying to control the situation stunned, and Lu Wu was quite uncomfortable himself.

I haven't even started showing off, and they're already gone?

However, Lu Wu soon had no time to dwell on that.

Because while the ordinary students had left, members of the Student Council had not.

The outgoing President of the Student Council was the first to come over, with red eyes and hands holding Lu Wu's tightly in an affectionate manner as if to say, "I've finally waited for you, glad I didn't give up!"

Isn't this a bit creepy?

Lu Wu subconsciously wanted to pull his hands back, but it was too late. He was dragged off to start the handover process.

On the other side.

At Jiangnan University, among the students.

Although they had returned to their classrooms because of the face-saving compromise, the excitement in their hearts was still hard to contain.

Round-faced girl Li Jingjing felt this more than anyone.

Now full of power, she believed she could take on those she had previously been unable to defeat.

Without a second thought, she captured the notice of Lu Wu's appointment as President of Jiangnan University's Student Council and took it as a weapon, rushing back to the comment section of that report.

She threw her trump card into the fray.

It felt like slapping those doubters right in the face.

Who says just because Lu Wu is from Jiangnan, he belongs to Jiangnan?

Lu Wu is their Student Council President at Jiangnan University!

He would surely lead Jiangnan University to regroup and soar to new heights.

At the same time, there were many others like Li Jingjing doing the same thing.

Almost all the students were venting their excitement on the intranet.

Thanks to their efforts, the news of Lu Wu's appointment as Student Council President spread through the intranet immediately.

Once the news got out, it garnered widespread attention.

After all, Lu Wu's status was no ordinary matter.

Not only was he the youngest master-level Cultivation Master in history, but after the Cultivation Master competition, he was also recognized as the strongest cultivator among the younger generation.

A genius acknowledged by all, destined to reach the Grandmaster Level.

So now, Lu Wu's popularity on the intranet was on par with Zhang Yuechu's, who had already overthrown 28 universities, both of them being top-tier figures.

Any news about Lu Wu immediately drew attention, just like how it was when Zhang Yuechu challenged a university.

However, if Zhang Yuechu gained praise and admiration for overthrowing universities, the news of Lu Wu becoming Jiangnan University's Student Council President was met with skepticism.

Comments in the discussion areas related to this topic were predominantly negative.

Many accused Lu Wu of being irrational.

Some even bluntly said that Lu Wu's behavior was a display of overconfidence turning into arrogance following his win in the Cultivation Master competition.

They said the ship of Jiangnan was already at the brink of ruin.

The doomed vessel, riddled with holes, sinking was a foregone conclusion.

The situation was irreversible by anyone, Lu Wu included.

After all, although Lu Wu was a genius, his talent was in cultivation, which didn't necessarily mean he had the talent for management.

His presidency might not only fail to change Jiangnan University's situation, but it might also accelerate the sinking of the ship due to a more aggressive and arrogant approach.

The commenter concluded that rather than wasting time as Student Council President, Lu Wu would do well to focus his energy on cultivation.

This tirade incensed the excited students of Jiangnan University.

Getting up at seven in the morning to write, just to make sure this chapter gets posted before heading off to see a movie. I hope you understand if it's a bit short, given how hardworking I am.

Yeah, I'm off to watch "The Eight Hundred" and will continue writing when I get back.
