The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Not a Beauty Contest

It was bold and overpowering. The kind of presence that made people feel awe.

Joanna watched with calm appreciation. Katherine, standing beside her, reacted very differently.

“Holy-he’s handsome!”

“Wow, that one’s not bad either.”

“So handsome. If I ever want kids, I have to find someone like this. No, I need to find a hundred men like this. One baby each. I’ll definitely get an SSS-rank kid.”

Joanna glanced at her with real admiration.

Katherine, I seriously underestimated you.

But in the Space Alliance, this kind of thinking was probably normal. If Katherine could choose a hundred men, those men could also choose ten thousand women to have children with.

Joanna found the idea hard to accept.

After the power display came a song. Of course, it wasn’t an ordinary song. It was a choir made of 100 Light Pastors. Each of them could sing Song of the Dawn (Epic-tier).

The music was beautiful. After hearing it, a system notification appeared. All attributes +1000, experience gain +200%.

Joanna reacted instantly. She told Nighthowl, Lucien, and Alwyn not to waste the buff and to head straight into a dungeon to level up.

Wouldn’t it have been better if the event ended here?

The performances that followed were just as impressive. Every act turned professional combat power into pure stage performance.

Midway through the program, the main event began. Joanna was scheduled to fight the sophomore’s top student.

The host announced loudly, “Next, we welcome the top student of the first year! A Summoner from Comprehensive Studies, also majoring in Public Dungeon Specialization and Strategy Team Dungeon Studies! Joanna Lane! Welcome on stage!”

Joanna stepped onto the stage.

Finished

George and Sophie both wore transmog outfits. George was in a sharp suit. Sophie wore a formal gown. Joanna, in contrast, wore her academy uniform. Standing between them, she looked young and plain.

George spoke with exaggerated enthusiasm. “I’ve heard so much about you! Joanna dominated the training program and claimed the top student position with overwhelming strength. Even Sophie here has been looking forward to meeting you. They say you have SSS-rank affinity. Why don’t

you show your talent today? Why hide behind a veil?

“After all, Sophie here is the campus belle. You’re her strongest competitor.”

Sophie smiled lightly, as if joking. “I can’t really compare myself to someone with SSS-rank affinity. Looks like I might have to give up the title.”

George waved his hand. “No need to be modest. Affinity doesn’t decide looks.” He raised his voice and shouted to the crowd. “So everyone-do you want to see what Joanna looks like?”

He suddenly raised his voice and even cupped a hand to his ear, as if waiting to hear the crowd.

In a normal situation, everyone would start cheering and shouting, “We want to see!”

But this time, George was surprised.

The hall went completely silent.

A few people, carried by the mood, almost shouted. But someone next to them quickly clamped a hand over their mouth.

“Are you crazy? Do you want Joanna to beat you into the ground?”

Some people even frowned.

“Why did I have a feeling that this host is stirring trouble?”

In the front row, Garfield curled his lips into a sly grin.

“This is getting interesting. George is trapping Joanna. If she takes off the veil, it would look like she’s trying to compete with Sophie for the campus beauty and offend her. If she doesn’t, it sounds like she’s admitting she’s not as pretty and is only relying on her SSS-rank affinity. No matter what, it’s a bad choice.”

Everyone started thinking. If they were standing where Joanna was, what would they do?

Then Joanna spoke softly. “So is Sophie the top student?”.

Sophie froze. She never expected a counter like that. This freshman top student was showing zero respect to the President of the Public Relations Club.

Everyone knew the club controlled how professionals looked to the public.

They handled media, receptions, and even interviews with high-level professionals.

It was not a group anyone wanted to offend.

Joanna clearly wasn’t planning to let George off. She looked surprised and asked, “So, are you the top student too?
