Chapter 11: When a Beast Girl Runs for Student Council (and Romantic Drama Ensues)

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: When a Beast Girl Runs for Student Council (and Romantic Drama Ensues) Midday sunlight spilled across the academy courtyard, illuminating an extravagant banner: "Beast Tamer Academy: Student Council Election Week!" Jemil blinked. He’d survived riotous classrooms and demonstration fiascoes. Now he was unexpectedly caught in the whirlwind of school politics—beast-style. A confident voice rang out from the elevated dais: "Vote for President Sylfa!" Her banner rustled under the breeze, showcasing the seductive dryad amid vines and grinning students. She swapped posters with Ursa—"Strongness and Snacks!"—and Lyra—"Firepower and Freedom!" A hush fell when Mira’s banner unfurled—icy-blue wings etched with the words "Discipline and Diplomacy." Owl-eyed and calm, she stood like a statue. Aelira, not one for banners, had a simple note pinned to a tree: "Steal My Vote If You Dare." And then there was Nyx—serpent cult followers had painted "Eclipse of Devotion" on stone pillars. Grahla, not really one for politics, sported a handpainted sash: "Tamer Protector"—drawn by Aelira during free time. Chaos Royale: Campaign Trail Jemil stood at the center, drooping slightly. Lyra swooped over: "You’d better advocate for me." Sylfa looped vines across his shoulders: "A vote for me is a bond for life." Ursa grunted: "Food festivals every week if I win." Mira adjusted her frost-lined sash: "Orderly governance. No—true harmony." Nyx hissed softly: "Emotional devotion through ritual." Grahla shrugged: "I vote for snacks. And tamer safety." Aelira sidled up: "Let your crush follow its politics." Jemil forced a weak smile. "And... me? What about me?"

Each candidate had two minutes to present their platform. Lyra leapt to the podium: "More battle training with me! And cuddle breaks!" Sylfa wandered in gracefully: "Increased botanical gardens and healing retreat nights." Ursa stomped forward: "Fusion meals and bear hugs." Mira glided silently: "Discipline, frost training, emotional growth." Nyx hissed poetry of devotion: "Worship, unity, mystical bond." Grahla flexed: "Security, snacks, and being tamed—but safe." Aelira leaned forward from the crowd: "Vote for mystery. Vote for fun. Vote for... me?" Jemil cringed. "I need a support system contract EXPLAINED." The Romantic Flare-Up It got heated when Aelira and Lyra locked eyes: Lyra’s tails flared bright. "She’s stealing his attention." Aelira’s grin widened. "You talk too much. Vote for passion." They circled Jemil—verbal sparks flying. Sylfa whispered encouragement. Ursa cheered. Mira observed. Nyx coiled silently. Grahla watched post-election snacks. Jemil clapped his hands. "Fine! I’ll make the speech." [System Alert: Public Affection Risk – Potential jealousy flare-ups] [Roll Charisma Skill for diplomacy in mixed romantic audience] He cleared his throat and began: "I... admire each of you. Flame, vine, fur, feather, fang, and stealth. I don’t need to pick one—I need all of you, together. That’s the strength we offer." Silence. And then: thunderous applause. Even the banners swayed in approval. Election Results... And a Kiss Next day, scrolls were unrolled: Winner: Student Council President — Mira, the Ice Phoenix Valkyrie. Jemil blinked. Lyra gaped. Ursa grinned. Sylfa leaned into him. Nyx shone. Aelira just smirked. Grahla shrugged. Mira approached Jemil quietly. "Balance requires control. And trust." She kissed his cheek—gentle frost-touch coldness that made his heart race. [Intimacy Point +1] [Loyalty Boost: +10% to Mira’s preference] [Jealousy Ping: Inferior to crowds?] Lyra flicked flame air. Sylfa hissed sweet: "Ice is good for them." Ursa hummed. Nyx purred softly. Aelira winked. Grahla nodded. Jemil exhaled. "That was... more emotional than a dungeon run."
