Adele wondered if Tang Linlang would be ostracized in the straight-girl-filled student council.

She accompanied Linlang, waiting in line for the formal interview to begin, lost in thought.

From Adele’s perspective, the current Tang Linlang didn’t need to join such a student organization at all, she was already a winner in life.

But this was based on Adele’s own pursuits.

Adele didn’t know what kind of pursuits Tang Linlang had in her heart.

Therefore, she wouldn’t say too much, she just needed to accompany Linlang as a “friend” and do what Linlang wanted to do.

The long queue they were in was slowly getting closer to the office.

Some people walked out confidently, while others left dejectedly.

It was truly cruel, choosing the best among the best in the human race.

It was frighteningly competitive.

At this moment, Adele still didn’t know that Tang Linlang had already activated the cheat “Gu Realm,” which she wasn’t supposed to have yet.

So, it was a bit embarrassing to say, but she had already started rehearsing in her heart, preparing to comfort Tang Linlang if she failed the interview.

After all, Tang Linlang’s current impression was that her magic foundation was average, she wasn’t proficient in the Tang family’s assassination techniques, and she didn’t have any powerful abilities.

For her to participate in the student council interview, in a sense, was really just to add to her life experiences.

But even so, when it was finally Tang Linlang’s turn to enter, Adele still gave her a big hug.

“Go for it! Sweetie!”

Because she didn’t deliberately control her volume, many girls who were lining up to interview for various student council departments turned their heads.

Tang Linlang’s face flushed red, but she was more touched by Adele’s encouragement, which completely ignored the people around them.

“Okay!”

Then, she followed the student council member who came out to call her name and entered the office.

Several student council members were sitting behind a long, square table, looking at her.

Tang Linlang had some impression of the petite and calm girl in the middle, knowing that she was Wen Weiran, the president of the student council. She looked young but was actually their senior and a very powerful genius ability user.

Therefore, Tang Linlang became even more nervous. She was a little surprised that a simple interview would have someone of the student council president’s level present.

“Hello, seniors, I’m a first-year student here for the interview tonight, my name is Tang Linlang.”

Fortunately, she managed to introduce herself without stuttering.

But Wen Weiran suddenly raised her hand, signaling for her to stop.

“…?”

Tang Linlang’s heart instantly jumped to her throat, her expression incredulous.

Could it be that she was eliminated after just saying one sentence?

If that was the case, even the good-tempered Tang Linlang would feel indignant.

Fortunately, Wen Weiran, who was always concise with her words, gave Tang Linlang a reasonable explanation.

“Wait a moment, someone else hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Oh… okay.”

Was there a student council interviewer who hadn’t arrived yet?

But Tang Linlang felt that just Wen Weiran, as the president, deciding on the candidates for this interview was already authoritative enough.

There was no need for everyone to discuss who to admit.

But what happened next surprised Tang Linlang, making her realize that she had completely misunderstood.

A confused Adele suddenly appeared beside Tang Linlang.

She didn’t know why she was called in, but the student council member invited her in, so she entered in a daze and stood beside Tang Linlang.

Tang Linlang’s expression could only be described as astonished, and Adele, in order to avoid further awkwardness, raised her hand and waved at her with a wry smile.

As for when she faced Wen Weiran, Adele’s expression could only be described as “awkwardly frozen.”

“H-hello, President… and other… seniors.”

Anyway, Adele greeted them with difficulty.

In fact, apart from Wen Weiran’s calm expression, the other student council members, as interviewers today, also had playful expressions.

After all, this was the first time since Wen Weiran became president that a vampire had participated in a formal student council interview.

In addition, it was worth mentioning that there were indeed vampires who joined the student council in unconventional ways.

They usually had blood on their hands because they had killed their own kind – and in most cases, vampires of the same Sequence or higher.

Under such circumstances, they couldn’t survive within the vampire race, so they had to seek the protection of the student council.

The student council’s higher-ups believed that such vampires, with no way out, could be used by them. If used well, they would be a sharp sword.

Therefore, they chose to accept and protect them.

But when this spread outside, it seemed to have given birth to a very nasty rumor.

That is – only vampires who killed their own kind could join the student council.

This undoubtedly cast a huge shadow on the student council’s image in the hearts of vampire students.

But in fact, during Senior Li Lige’s time, vampires who joined the student council through normal interviews did exist, and there were quite a few of them.

It was just that these vampire seniors had already graduated with Senior Lige and were now working in various departments or had become task executors.

So there were no witnesses, and coupled with the strong anti-human sentiment within the vampire race, the rumor spread even wider, to the point where many human students also accepted this statement and expressed their agreement.

After all, in their view, how could it be possible for a vampire to join the student council without offering a sufficiently weighty “pledge of allegiance.”

Thus, although it was originally a rumor, precisely because both vampires and humans believed it, it gradually became a fact.

Indeed, the prejudice in people’s hearts was a mountain.

The prejudice that vampires had against humans, and the prejudice that humans had against vampires, wasn’t something that could be easily eliminated.

As for Adele, what did she think?

She didn’t even want to look.

As someone who was half vampire and half human, she was caught in the middle and had had enough.

She only believed half of what both sides said.

The only ones who could completely gain Adele’s trust were her wings!

Faced with Adele’s confusion, the other student council members present chose to remain silent.

Finally, Wen Weiran took the initiative to respond.

Although it was she who sent someone to invite Adele in.

“Hello, please begin your interview. First, introduce yourself.”

“M-my name is Adele… wait, why am I suddenly being interviewed!”

Adele exclaimed in the office, her hand clutching her skirt.

Even Tang Linlang was confused and subconsciously moved closer to Adele, holding the girl’s arm, hoping that her presence could bring Adele a sense of security.

“Excuse me, I think there must be some misunderstanding.”

“Adele never had any intention of joining the student council!”

Tang Linlang immediately defended Adele.

Adele nodded vigorously in agreement.

“Yes, yes!”

What benefits could there be in joining the student council? It was full of straight girls who spoke harshly, Adele didn’t like being there at all.

Wen Weiran didn’t seem surprised by their reaction, but she still insisted on asking,

“Are you sure you don’t want to join our student council, Adele?”

“What’s with this ominous tone…”

It felt like she had something on her!

Could it be that Wen Weiran wanted to threaten her into joining the student council by using her “playing around with Celeste” as leverage?

Or… Adele’s eyes suddenly flashed with panic.

A scene instantly appeared in her mind.

Wen Weiran cornered her against the wall, a rare smile on her face that gave off a sinister feeling, and said,

—“Adele, you wouldn’t want your witch identity to be exposed, would you?”
