The support for Hera surged rapidly, leaving Cindy far behind in the Belle ranking in just one day. With that, Hera firmly secured the top spot among all female students in the academy.
Cindy felt a mix of jealousy and frustration when she saw herself lagging behind Hera by over a thousand votes. She was especially frustrated as she watched Lily still campaigning for Hera after class.
Cindy couldn't deny Hera's beauty but believed her own abilities surpassed hers. Even if Lily helped Hera secure a spot in the top ten, could she compete in the final speech showdown?
Cindy saw Hera as nothing more than a pretty face. She felt that Hera wasn't suited to compete with her.
She was firmly convinced that she would emerge as the academy's Belle at the celebration.
…
That evening, Katie was shocked to find Hera leading the polls. Fearing foul play, she urgently pleaded on the forum for people not to vote for Hera.
However, her plea backfired as those who hadn't considered voting for Hera before were captivated by her beauty and decided to vote for her.
Despite Katie's efforts, Hera's ranking remained unchanged the next morning. Her votes had even increased. Katie couldn't help but marvel at Hera's stunning beauty.
Zyler entered the classroom and immediately launched the academy forum to check the voting results.
He had never cared much about such matters because the Hunk title always went to either him or Christopher.
Zyler's and Christopher's rankings were always neck and neck across the years. Ultimately, whoever garnered more admirers during the crucial voting period won the title.
Their relationship had always been good, and they didn't let the competition for the academy's Hunk title affect their friendship. So, neither of them cared too much about who held it.
But Zyler overheard many classmates discussing the voting that day and Hera's name was frequently mentioned. He became curious about the events that were unfolding.
