The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397 What Happened Two Hours Ago

With a playful tone, he said, “Just a funny story. This time last year, I was the one hosting the freshman welcome party, and Ms. Lane had to sit in the audience watching me perform.”

The Public Relations Club members who knew George well burst out laughing.

Some even heckled him.

“Ms. Lane could whip up a tornado and blow you six feet away, and you’d still come crawling back.”

The freshmen found George hilarious, and they immediately formed the impression that he was witty, capable, and easy to get along with.

Before long, they crowned him “campus heartthrob” and started calling him “senior crush.”

Then he continued sincerely, “However, I truly thank Ms. Lane for mentoring me. She does not hold my past mistakes against me and forgives my foolishness. The past year spent under Ms. Lane’s guidance has taught me so much. Now that she is stepping down, I feel very reluctant about it.

“I hope that in the coming semester, I can take on the heavy responsibilities of leading the Public Relations Club.

“Vote for me as president, and I’ll lead the Public Relations Club to glory!”

When he said “reluctant,” George’s voice even trembled slightly as if he were choking up.

That won him an even louder wave of encouraging applause.

All the freshmen imagined a whole story about how Joanna had discovered George’s talent and given him opportunities he would never forget.

Only George himself knew.

Finally.

I’ve waited out two presidents, and now it’s my turn.

My time has finally come.

I’ve finally made it to the top!

Next came the speeches from the other candidates.

Because there were simply too many applicants this time, the system screened them and compared multiple factors before selecting suitable candidates.

Then, everyone went onstage to compete or campaign for votes.

Without question, George won by a landslide and became the new president.

As for vice president, if Katherine had still been there, she would have been a strong contender.

But she had withdrew from the Public Relations Club, opening up the position for other candidates.

Among the final candidates, a freshman prodigy named Nancy Blake. took the position. Her profession was “Combat class: Rule Sequence: Orator,”

This girl named Nancy possessed the SSS-level talent “Bewitching Persuasion (SSS).”

Originally, this profession could easily have led to careers like host or singer, but she studied sonic attack classes and turned her ability into a power where her words carried binding force. She had enormous potential.

Joanna seemed to envision her past self, climbing step by step until reaching where she stood

now.

She casted her vote for the girl.

Her vote carried tremendous weight, so Nancy became vice president of the Public Relations Club. Perhaps when George stepped down next year, this girl would be the next president of the Public Relations Club.

After the election ended, exactly 2 hours had passed.

Joanna selected the option in the system to go to the tribunal’s courtroom.

བ་འཇ༔

It was the same familiar place.

Every courtroom looked exactly the same.

The only difference was the presiding chief judicator.

Trials were open to the public, and major cases always drew massive attention. Audience tickets were extremely hard to get,

Back when Sophie’s case happened, it had attracted huge attention mainly because she had promoted it ahead of time to influence the ruling,

But this time, neither Joanna nor Willow promoted anything.

Yet the moment their names appeared on the tribunal’s pending list, countless reporters rushed in.

When the trial began, a massive crowd flooded the seats. In an instant, the number of spectators hit the maximum limit for a major case.

The limit was 1,000,000 people.

Unless someone was directly involved, seats in the tribunal had to be purchased, and they were not cheap. One ticket cost 10,000 star coins.

With 1,000,000 people present, a roar like a tidal wave swept through the hall.

“It is Joanna. It really is Joanna.”

“So beautiful. She is unbelievably beautiful.”

“Her beauty proves her innocence. Joanna cannot possibly have done anything wrong. The person suing her must be crazy.”

“Anyone who bullies Joanna is an enemy of the entire Space Alliance.”

The presiding chief judicator struck the gavel.

“Silence.”

Instantly, the Authority of Law was invoked in the entire courtroom. Everyone seemed to have their sound switched off and could not open their mouths.

Or rather, those with great strength could still speak, but their voices came out as faint as a mosquito.

They could only communicate mentally.

Even that had a limited range of only 3 feet, so it could not interfere with the trial.

The presiding chief judicator was an elderly woman. She glanced at the file and said, “Plaintiff, state your case,”

Willow had not expected 1,000,000 people to show up to watch. She thought these people had far too much free time,

But one glance told him the audience were all low-level professionals, some even life-skill players.

1,000,000 life-skill players would not withstand a single spell from him.

Strength ruled everything.

Willow was strong, so he wasn’t nervous. He was ready to blast Joanna.

He demanded, “What have you been doing during these 2 hours? Why didn’t you contact me or apologize?”

He went straight at Joanna.

Joanna raised her eyebrows.

“Lord Koch, that matter has nothing to do with this trial. However, I can still kindly tell

you.

During those 2 hours, I am participating in the Public Relations Club election at Divine and Demonic Academy.”
