Levi had spent 3 months in the academy, most of his time dedicated to training and discovering his affinities. Class was attended by his clone.
He discovered that using the little plants in the pocket dimension could no longer yield anything for him.
"Those god level wanderers are really affecting my growth," he poured out his frustration.
If they weren't blocking the way out of the minor forest, he would have gotten more resources. 'But the system said they were not aggressive, why are they now blocking my path?' He wondered.
[Th host is mistaking attack for power. The gods are not actively attacking you, they just believe you are too weak to pass theirdomains,] The system's chime echoed in Levi's mind.
"Ohh!" He mused. It was perfectly normal for gods to look down on mortals.
"I guess I have to wait till I get stronger," he murmured with disappointment.
Beside him, Riven looked at him, shaking his head.
'Advancing to the Grandmaster tier in just 9 months, and still not satisfied,' He thought.
"Riven, I would be attending the student council meeting today, watch after Aeon," he said, flicking his wrist, before disappearing from the house.
Riven stared at the space Levi occupied just breath ago, his eyes twitching with rage.
"Even you can't handle it, how do you expect me to hold it?" He roared into the empty space, but no response.
Levi had gone.
Aeon appeared before Riven, his shadow casting a huge canopy over Riven as though mocking him in advance.
Riven sighed in exhaustion. "You will have to stay here till he comes," he said.
Instantly, lightning crackled, forming a prison that held Aeon in place.
But it did not hold for long. Aeon slipped past in a blur, appearing meters away.
While they were having their own time, Levi was already in another place.
In a streak of silver, he appeared in a huge black dome-like building.
'Why would the student council call me?' The thought lingered in his mind. 'Well, I would find out soon,' he dismissed his curiosity.
As he walked deeper, light began to appear.
Walking through the last corridor, he saw them, 8 students.
Each one exudes the aura of a master tier at least.
And the person who sat at the head, a phoenix, stood firmly in the grandmaster tier.
'They seem to be from each race,' Levi speculated as his eyes swept through them.
There was only one race missing, a human.
"Levi Orrin," the Phoenix called out, his voice thundering like a hammer against a gong.
Levi looked at the Phoenix, eyes locking.
"What?" He asked, his voice bold and unhurried.
The word came as a shock to everyone present. An ordinary first grader, daring to confront the number one of the academy, was this courage or stupidity?
But instead of anger, the phoenix smiled. "Bold, just as I have heard."
"We called you here for something simple," the phoenix began. "Since Ryan graduated from the academy after reaching the Paragon tier, the human seat has been left empty."
Levi's eyes narrowed when he heard this. He knew where this was going, but he listened all the same.
"I invite you to join the student council."
"Eh!" Murmurs rippled across the room as the other seats began to protest.
"Thalon, why would a first grader join the student council?" A dragon seated next to him queried.
Thalon ignored him, his eyes fixed on Levi with a smile.
"Can I decline?" Levi questioned.
"Definitely," Thalon replied sharply, like he was already expecting the question.
"What do I stand to gain?"
Thalon's smile deepened like he knew this was his chance to convince Levi. "Let me start with the one I know you will be more interested in," Thalon smirked.
"You can skip classes 4 times in a week, 10,000 points as salary, and you automatically graduate, except for the final Paragon tier requirement at grade 4," Thalon stated all the benefits with a smile.
"And what are my duties?" Levi asked another pressing question.
"Simple, just maintain order among humans and sub-human races," Thalon said.
'That simple,' Levi mused.
"I accept," he said. He was not stupid enough to reject an offer so good just because of something as fragile as ego.
Thalon smiled. "Welcome, Levi Orrin, human seat of the students' council," Thalon said.
The other seats, although reluctant, still had to answer their leader. They followed suit, welcoming Levi into their midst.
Levi nodded in response and found his seat next to the dwarf representative.
"So, what do you guys have to say?" Thalon asked them about their respective race.
Each one began to voice their complaints. Levi looked on; he was new and did not even have anything to say.
The meeting lasted for an hour before they were all sent back, leaving Thalon alone in the room.
"Levi Orrin, what makes you so special?" He muttered as his smile widened unnaturally.
As Levi stepped out of the dome, he vanished.
"What the hell happened while I was gone?" He yelled as he saw the destruction that befell his mansion.
Feathers littered the floor, and glass splinters spread like tiles.
"Did a robber break in?" He joked, trying to calm his stormy thoughts.
His eyes moved towards his room instinctively. He appeared there in an instant, just in time to intercept Riven and Aeon from entering.
"Would you guys mind explaining what happened to me?" He asked, a twisted smile appearing on his lips.
Riven and Aeon shrieked from Levi's image. The face they saw bore more pressure than a god.
Aeon's face shifted swiftly. It looked at Levi with a cute face.
Levi turned away. "That's not working today."
"Sigh. I should have expected this when I left both of you," Levi resigned.
Riven only looked at him throughout. He did not utter a single word, not wanting all the blame to be poured on him.
"Max, hire people to fix the house," Levi said to his ever reliable assistant.
Yes, master Levi, Max replied.
Levi entered his room quickly. As he sat on the bed, he called the system.
"What about the servant cards you have been storing in the inventory?" He asked.
