TBATE - What if Tessia was the legacy ? - The legacy of it all

Not that much of a surprise

-Thus, we arrive in the top five most popular students for this month." Explained vice president Clive with a hint of annoyance after failing to get in the top 20 for 3 months in a row. "Surprisingly considering how little he seems to care about this metric and yet expectedly considering his previous ranking, Arthur Leywin ends up being the fifth most popular student."

Raising his shoulders slightly along with an overconfident sarcastic smile, Arthur proceeded to quickly congratulated himself, or to be precise, the lack of effort he put in to get this result and not the results themselves before trying to excuse himself out of the meeting room to go train, only for disciplinary committee leader to drag him back in and onto his place before commenting that this was a serious and important event he couldn't just run away from, and that he had to understand the "will of the people".

-We also, as usual, received a handful of love letters directed at the disciplinary committee vice-president, along with invitations to a handful of banquets." Added Clive as I worriedly glanced back and forth between Arthur and Tessia.

-Normally I would have ignored all of those letters, but if my direct superior orders me to understand the "will of the people", I have to answer all of those and accept whatever they ask of me." Teased the boy with yet another smirk.

-Clive." Called out Tessia in a cold tone. "Could you hand me those letters?" She asked in a tone that made it clear it wasn't much of a question and much more of an order, especially considering how poorly she was hiding her anger.

-I, once more, have to remind you that this joint committee agreed not to seek any individual student because of their answer or provided documents." Answered the vice-president, only for Tessia to coldly repeat her question while narrowing her eyes in what I could only interpret as a passive threat.

-This isn't the place nor the time for personal bickering." Snapped Hannadreda in a strict tone.

Glaring at the student council president, the elven princess reluctantly back down while still clearly annoyed.

-Either way, in fourth place for the second time in a row, we have princes Curtis Glayder." Explained Clive as Curtis smiled and waved before trying to tease Arthur on being more popular, only for Arthur to immediately agree with him and conceded that Curtis is much more popular. "I don't think that I need to remind everyone of the number of love-letters the princess received is in the double-digit." Added Clive, only for Arthur to tease Curtis back about having to understand the will of the people, which he seemed rather open about.

-In third place we have student council president: Hannadreda, followed by the disciplinary committee president princess Tessia Eralith, who have both received a small pile of letters of admiration along with a handful of love letters and wedding proposals, to which I already sent each the premade answer to." He explained as I looked at both girls who looked calm and composed on the surface, but could almost imagine their real thoughts considering how strongly worded both of the answers they had written in advance were before and Arthur reviewed them and advised them not to make it sound like they were disgusted the very concept that they could go out with someone else the people they were already in love with, which is to say: me and Arthur.

Unsurprisingly enough, the girls didn't exactly appreciate our feedback, especially considering that most of those letters would be politically motivated, but were convinced to give a more formal and professional, if less passionate answer, after I pointed out that some letters could be genuine and Arthur pointed that insulting so many different people at once because of purely personal reasons could create a political incident between the different institution we were representing.
