Astrovoid Shower- Celestial University Book 2: A Bully Romance

Chapter 48: Class President Candy

With her brother perplexed, Candy went to class that Thursday to an announcement that left the class shook to their core.

"Class President?"

"Yes Uyocron, Argus, ahem, Professor Stone and I agreed that after the Celestial Siege, a clear sense of leadership is what was needed. Someone outside of the four-"

"Five?"

Heath glared at Candy, before correcting himself. "More people in this major need to fight as proud and brave as Cepheus and Cassopeia did years ago. As such, you will decide who will be your representative for the class. You have five minutes," gripping his fingers. "Leadership takes making tough calls in the heat of battle, go!"

To Argus' dismay, they ran around in their respective cliques to determine who's in charge, with Bodin sliding over to Candy and Bella dragging Sven by the neck and bouncing over to them as Candy put the pieces together.

"Me?"

"Why not," Bell asked. "Also, how about we call ourselves the Terra Force? Cuz like four of us! If you become president, we could be your VP, um, Treasure Person, and Secret Arry, that's what they're called, right?"

Sven sucked his teeth. "It should be me!"

"Candy got first place against you in the Mightatholon. Outside of the new kids, she makes sense as Ainsley's replacement."

"Of course her nymph would say that."

Bodin scowled. "Yes, she's part of my New Years More Positive Hopes goal, but you guys want to be the leaders instead? They stood back while the Herd brutalized us!"

"I mean," staring at Dango, watching her talk to their classes while Paleun was 'tripping' people to her presence, "she can control my snake anyday," earning displeasure from Bodin and Candy while Bella got in his face.

"But you're a Musca? Don't you mean stingers? Oh, you have a pet snake?"

She fried his brain much to the couple's amusement while Fari had her feet crossed on the desk, glaring at Heath the entire time until he called for options.

The three way raise of Candy, Fari, and Dango's hands all rose put the class into a vote as most eyes went to the Nuckelherd's second-in-command and acting leader.

"None of you have any exp' running or leading anything. You two," spreading her thumbs, "are lap dogs for Shadow and Peacock hay."

"With all due respect, we are all of equal potential and skill to Lord Mako."

"Sehki's my friend and teammate," reflecting on their time together. "We make each other better, while you all just make each other worse!"

Fari's magic started pumping, and those nearby felt the room shaking. "Are you insulting our group, little bear?"

I'm not the same as I was last year, releasing her own flow of power. Heath grinned at the massive display from both of their individuals while Dango offered them their world's take on mochi.

"Professors, is there a way to settle this vote?"

"Fine," inviting them outside and pouring his magic into the ground, constructing an entire domed circuit between the Skyrock Sauna and Whirlpool Cavern. "Pick one person. First person to get their teammate to the end with the most energy wins."

Bodin already had Candy's back, Fari picked Paleun to Dango's dismay, and Sven jumped over. Argus fired a cannon to start and the duos sprinted as far as they could.

Sven mutated his body to gain wings across his back, shocking Dango with his gliding across the field.

Fari saw Paleun activate two claws, using energy that surged around him, yelling out "Rat Evolution," gaining wider ears and a tail to dash onto the platforms she made ahead of him.

"Bodin," whispering to him a plan, but letting him draw a bird for them to ride on. All of them were about equal in terms of speed, neither group getting farther ahead than the other for quite some time until Fari noticed how concentrated everyone was, eyeing Candy.

"Let's crush the bear and her painter," she whispered to Paleun. He grinned, shrinking his size to expand and offer his back as a platform for her to jump up and attack Candy.

A snake flew at Fari's face and forced her to thrust back, with Dango watching them.

"What are you both doing: this is not the Mightatholon! Let your skills decides this!"

"D, he never said anything about not attacking," Paleun claimed, ramming Sven into a Sauna and watching him burn. Bodin was about to fire at Fari when Candy made an arm gatling cannon, forcing the former to stomp and crush rock spells into nothing.

"I expected more from staff boy's sister!" She ran straight for them, hurling her platforms at them. Bodin was about to steer, but Candy grasped the bird, freezing it and rotating away while he used his brush as a medium to swing boulders at her.

Dango had got Sven out, offering to switch roles, but he was incensed to launch acid at both groups, melting their bird, and making Fari and Paleun form and run off different surfaces to evade as it hit the wing, starting to lose altitude.

Fari and Sven dashed at her, who confirmed to Bodin to act as they reached the whirlpool cavern, pushing him away before creating two bear claws made of earth to shield herself against them both.

"You two go ahead, we'll deal with her," prompting a concerned Dango and apathetic Paleun to focus on the race.

The two of them wailed on Candy, who coated herself with small rock armor every time they struck, placing it every time both of them knocked it off with Fari's ultimate offense and Sven's long range attacks.

"Where's all those ice attacks, huh? Lost your nerve?"

They bullied her, but Candy remembered the pain from last year, continuing to coat and endure herself as Fari put all that effort into one gallop with her arms and legs coated in earth, using a sliding platform to fly down on Candy.

"It's over!"
