BXBX NOVEL Chapter 117 Azzy As The Disciplinary Committee's President
With the Annual tournament finished, the classes resumed as usual from the next day.
Just like how the three of the Maple Academy students joined the grade-8 classroom, several students from other Academies who have nothing else to do also join the respective grades of the Elite division for fun upon learning Aclein Academy\'s considerable achievements in science and other things.
Since the founding of the academy, for the first time, the grade-10 classroom became completely full with most of the candidates belongs to grade-10.
As for the grade-8 classroom, it was filled with students from the top academies. Only such academies will be bold enough to bring the students of grade-8 to experience the competition.
"Azrael, answer this question." The mathematics teacher started the class by writing the question on the whiteboard before pointing at Azzy.
"Which of the following is a perfect square?"
"1057" "3025" "7928" "64000"
Azzy looked at the options and fell into deep thoughts. At the same time, more than half of the class was also trying to figure out the solution.
After all, those from special academies like Barbara focus more on how to become stronger. So, their mathematics level is even lesser than a fifth grade.
If Gideon would have been present, he would have whispered to Azzy about the answer like always, but alas, as soon as he woke up, he immediately became busy with training alongside his team.
Barbara who sat next to him is even wondering what the meaning of perfect square is…
As Azzy trying to divide the number to look for a solution, the Reaper came to the rescue, "It\'s 3025."
"Eh? Do you how to calculate it?" Azzy was taken aback in surprise. He didn\'t expect the Reaper would be able to calculate as he is terrible at mathematics.
In response, the Reaper chuckled, "No, but I remember you reading that a natural number cannot be a perfect square if it ends with 2,3,7,8, or have an odd number of zeroes."
Upon remembering it, Azzy thanked the Reaper and explained the same to the teacher. The latter seemed surprised to see Azzy answered it quicker than he thought. After all, it was no secret that Azzy never got more than 40 in a test for the past eight months.
Thinking that it\'s just a coincidence, he decided to test him further.
"Answer me. If 5278 is squared, then, which of the following will be at its unit place?"
"8, 7, 6, or 4"
Just as Azzy about to put his pen on the paper, the Reaper answered it instantly, "it\'s 4. The last digit of the number is 8. 8 multiply by 8 gives 64."
Azzy was once again surprised to hear it, although he was about to do the same thing. He answered it right away, surprising the teacher once again.
For the next twenty minutes, the teacher continued to ask the questions while forgetting about the rest.
He started with a square and square roots, then, it went to cube and cube roots, then, after that, linear equations, factorization, and finally ended with trigonometric equations.
The teacher was delighted to know that Azzy wasn\'t the same as he was at the beginning of the semester. He wondered what happened in this past week that enhanced his mathematics skills.
The teacher assumed it might be because Azzy was focusing on studies while everyone is preparing for the Annual tournament back then.
Either way, somehow, he felt like Azzy would be able to score higher marks in the final exams.
He didn\'t know that Azzy was even more in surprise.
He realized that although the Reaper isn\'t good at finding the solutions to the mathematical problem, he still has an eidetic memory. Everything he had read and forgotten in time was easily memorized by the Reaper.
Azzy almost felt like slapping himself for not recognizing such a simple thing. The Reaper is a deity after all. It is obvious that his memorization power is the best.
At that moment, he felt like a new door opened in front of him. Azzy decided to use Reaper\'s memorization ability to the maximum.
Looking at his thoughts, the Reaper shook his head with a smile. Vajra shuddered as it glanced at the smile on the skeleton for a second. Feelings its thoughts, the Reaper once again became blank-faced.
Soon, the morning classes are over. Barbara tagged along with Azzy until they had lunch together.
After that, she returned to her team for afternoon practice while Azzy returned to the peaceful classroom with several books from the library in order to feed the knowledge to the Reaper.
With everyone busy with their training for the league or enjoying their free time except for dropouts, no one disturbed Azzy\'s studies until, in the evening, he received a message card from the Principal stating that he is summoned to the administration building.
Upon entering the office, he found Leo was standing before Barton. Aside from those two, there\'s also an unfamiliar girl, who he might have seen somewhere in the school.
Does this has something to do with this disguised Galarian beast or maybe, the Principal is thinking of letting him participate in the Champions League or something? Azzy can\'t help but wonder.
"Mr. Principal." Azzy greeted formally, now that there are two more people in the room.
"Azrael, come in…" Principal Barton smiled as he gestured him to come and stand beside them.
"Junior Azrael, it\'s been a while." As Azzy walked towards them, Leo greeted him cheerfully.
Azzy plainly nodded in return. He stood beside the girl while ignoring her presence entirely. "May I know why I have been summoned?" He asked the Principal.
"I\'ll tell you but first, let me introduce them." Barton pointed to the two of them, "You know Leonard Light. This student is Matilda of grade-9, soul plant division, the Vice-president of the Disciplinary Committee."
"Hello…" She put forth her hand with a smile. However, Azzy didn\'t take it and simply nodded in response. It brought a frown on her face but she managed to force herself to be normal.
After introducing her, the Principal continued, "You know that student Leonard Light is the current student council president and the president of the disciplinary committee.
Even though there are still two months left till his graduation, because of the Champions League and the upcoming international competitions, he requested to take off some of the burdens from his shoulders.
Both of them nominated your name for the position of Disciplinary committee\'s president.
And I believe you are suited for this position too. What do you think?"
Azzy glanced at Leo, wondering what this guy might be playing. He then looked at the girl and asked, "Did you take into account that I can\'t control all of my strength? The disciplinary committee forces punishments on rule breakers. Did you consider where I might kill a low-rank Arcana Master by mistake?"
It\'s not like Azzy wasn\'t tempted but he wanted to know whether they are giving him the position just because he defeated mid-rank-5 Experts in front of everyone.
If it\'s that way, then, he wanted to remind them that Aclein Academy students aren\'t as strong as the elites from the top academies. If someone turned to be a fool and went on challenge him, they might face life-threatening danger or worse face death. Azzy doesn\'t want to be held accountable by the victim\'s parents.
In response to his reminder, Leo replied with a smile, "I\'m aware of that. However, as the president, you don\'t need to make a move for every little thing. There are other members in the committee to deal with it.
Moreover, you can summon the undead. Can\'t you just summon lower-ranked ones to deal with weaklings if you are worried about your lack of control?"
Leo\'s explanation made Azzy suspect him further. It seemed as if Leo is adamant about making Azzy, the president of the disciplinary committee, but why? Azzy didn\'t have the answer. At the same time, he also wanted to accept the offer. If he\'s in such a position, he would be able to stop bullying in the academy.
"You are the heir to the Death Clan, Azrael. Sooner or later, you will have to ascend to the throne. You might as well experience the authority in which you can give out the proper punishments." Just then, the Reaper\'s voice echoed in his head.
