Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 877 Vote

"Let me hear your voice or a show of hands if you agree with my suggestion! Emery Ambrose as the leader!" Said the red-haired girl loudly and cheerfully.

There were 5 groups of 30 acolytes in the gathering, totaling 150 acolytes, plus Emery's group of 3.

Annara's suggestion had been successful in attracting everyone's attention in the room. It appeared that there were more supporters for choosing Emery as a leader than had been expected.

Orycon, the great sword expert from elite group 7, had lots of respect for Emery, and during the last game when they fought together against the Bone Dragon, Emery's help and action in helping the two brothers sealed their confidence in him as a leader.

"Our group has decided to vote for Emery Ambrose as Leader!" he exclaimed.

That sentence was quickly followed by the utterance of one eccentric man in red hair,

"You hear that all! Everyone in our group voted for my best broooo, Emery! Hear, Hear! The savage acolyte is the brother of me, Gerri, the Violet Flame!!"

The two big Goat bloodlines, Igor and Ivar also followed with the loud cheer and somehow the three made some kind of awkward poses.

This made the girl who was standing next to them, Aiko of the Jade Flash, could only close her face in embarrassment.

"This is very humiliating... Why did I agree with this?" she murmured to herself.

The full support from one group quickly made Anas and the Kaleos even more excited. Even though he preferred his champion Sigurd of the Titan blood to be the leader, he would settle for anyone to become the leader other than Roran.

Many within the 30 of the Kaleos group came from the same regular class as Emery, hence it was easy for them to quickly show their full support to this suggestion. Among them, there were also the three Zaioeo brothers.

"I choose Emery as leader!"

"My leader of choice is Emery!"

"Emery is the leader I choose!"

There were a total of 60 full votes from the two groups, plus of course, Emery's best mates who spoke up without taking their group leader's opinion into consideration,

"I agree with Emery as the leader. He's not just very strong, but I also trust him with my life." Thrax said with a smirk toward Julian.

Chumo, who was aware of the situation, slowly raised his hand as well.

There were some members of Julian's group who agreed with this as well. Even though the majority of the group were supporting the idea, Okoye and her Akanda warriors decided to wait for Julian's decision.

When Julian realized what was going on, he took a deep sigh and spoke to Roran.

"Roran, my friend Emery really is a trustworthy person, and with the way it is now, I think it is better to just replace me with him."

Roran took a second to consider his option. Observing the reactions of the people, he certainly understood the situation. He was fully aware that the cooperation would not work anymore without accepting Emery as leader.

He himself had some trust in Emery's capabilities and as a result, he came to a decision and said, "I agree, Emery and I will be the co-leader. Is this satisfactory?"

Right after he finished his sentence, Annara immediately interrupted. It seemed that the girl was in control of the conversation at the time being.

"Ooo... I am sorry if I wasn't clear... What I meant was… well… Emery is a good leader indeed, but of course, for better results for our crucially important mid test, we need a good commander, and you said it yourself Julian is the best person for the job."

Annara's remark quickly made the situation turn rowdy. She simply suggested for Emery and Julian to be the duo leader, and this created even more tension between the crowd.

There were a few more who agreed to this combination, but on the other hand, the Harlight followers became angry and could not accept such a suggestion. The young Harlight prince, on the other hand, only remained silent without comment.

When Emery noticed this matter about to go south, he quickly made his way to the front and said, "Annara, I don't think this is necessary… I trust my brother Julian completely, just made him the main leader and I am happy to sign the contract."

However, Annara could not be persuaded easily. She could not agree with his suggestion instantly as she quickly interrupted,

"You might trust him, but well, I don't! I would rather fight by myself than join this suspicious group," she said with a tinge of sarcasm in her tone.

She then approached Roran who was standing not far. She narrowed her gaze on him and went on to say,

"What is it actually you are planning? What's the point of having a leader among us when there will be a superior added to us within the mid test?" The girl asked suspiciously.

This sentence from Annara grabbed everyone's attention once again. The atmosphere that was once rowdy was now becoming quiet. Everyone in the room was silent while waiting for an explanation from the young Harlight prince.

Before Roran was about to make a response, the red-haired girl continued, "Although we are not official magus alliance forces, if the headmaster wanted this to be a real mission as possible, I am sure there will be a chain of command prepared for us."

Roran simply maintained his composure as the girl smirked and walked around the Harlight prince and continued to say,

"I think the only reason why you even bother to input leadership in this dangerous [Soul Contract] is that you are planning, or preparing to go against the chain of command.. Am I right? …Please Mister Harlight, do you care to share your plan?"

Annara's logical remark, and Roran's silence made the acolytes in the room start to believe that there really was a hidden plan prepared by the Harlight that Roran didn't share.

All along the chaos, Roran had been keeping his calm, and now that Annara had finished, he calmly raised both hand to calm the mass and still in confident he explained,

"The girl is not wrong. The mid-test will be based on a real war situation. Hence, a military-like command structure will be issued."

The crowd expression turned annoyed and once again displeased with Roran's hiding such matter. The Harlight prince, however, had not yet finished.

"But I assure you the leadership position is just a precautionary and for the benefit of us all, and I will gladly explain my reason."
