Next is the ninth place in the popularity ranking - the Magical Girl.
"Where are the other Magical Girls?"
Compared to her own popularity ranking, Saili was more concerned about how her peers were doing.
Shami looked at the list.
"Don’t worry, aside from you, only two Magical Girls have successfully advanced, and their rankings are relatively lower, at 31 and 23. One of them still needs to undergo the event organizer’s food safety investigation."
Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl let out a brief sigh of relief.
"What about me? What about me?"
The flat-haired blonde, who hadn’t heard her name yet, grew anxious and eagerly looked at Shami.
Up to this point, her ranking hadn’t been revealed, which indirectly indicated her rank was above the other three girls, and even higher than ninth place. Latest content published on novel⟡fire.net
The Elf Maiden couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Sorry, although we’re sisters, this is where we draw the line.
The number one beauty of the demon race is her, Lureya!
"Lureya’s popularity ranking is - 6."
Shami’s gaze shifted from the list to the Elf Maiden before her.
The Elf Maiden’s lifted smile stiffened.
"Lureya is only ranked 6th, who are the impressive figures ahead?"
The white-haired girl exclaimed in surprise. Lureya was already the most beautiful girl Lina had encountered, and Lina found it hard to imagine that there could be greater talents in the school.
Shami looked at the list, not only seeing each contestant’s popularity but also the frequency of their offline meet-and-greet events.
The top four contestants have held meet-and-greet events more than twenty times.
"We’ve only held one offline meet-and-greet, while the top four are labor-intensive contestants, hosting meet-and-greets almost every day, so naturally, they’ve accumulated much higher popularity than us."
The four girls nodded in understanding.
Meanwhile, the five of them noticed the tough character ranking first in this round of popularity rankings. Although she had only held one offline idol meet just like them, her popularity soared directly, much higher than the second place.

"Wait, isn’t this just the Bone Frame?"
The four girls exclaimed in surprise.
"How could the Bone Frame take first place? Isn’t this a campus idol contest? How did this thing even pass the preliminaries?"
"And with a landslide popularity advantage! Far ahead!"
Shami was also shocked by this result.
He hurriedly checked the contest journey related to Bone Frame.
During the preliminaries, each contestant was required to record a personal introduction video for competition publicity.
Simply from this recording video, Bone Frame should have been eliminated.
Everyone reviewed Bone Frame’s personal introduction video, intending to find out the inflated popularity of Bone Frame.
In the personal promotion video section, the five saw Bone Frame’s personal introduction video, and its click rate was considerably higher than the four girls’ continuous short skits.
Bone Frame’s personal introduction video title: [My New Student Guidance Director Owner]
"It feels like I already know what’s going on without watching it!"
Throughout, Rooney held Bone Frame while sitting in the office, speaking smoothly without any highlights, and Bone Frame didn’t move at all.
’Therefore, please support the human model. I am the new student director Rooney.’
As Rooney’s final voice fell, the video ended.
The Elf Maiden started to joke.
"It’s supposed to be Bone Frame’s personal introduction video, but it’s all Rooney talking!"
"It would be incredible if Bone Frame suddenly started speaking!"
"No wonder so many people support Bone Frame, basically aiming to get close with the new student director!"
"Not fair! Replay! Replay!"
Shami also showed a slightly displeased look.
"I am the owner of Bone Frame, damn it! Don’t Minotaur me!"
After watching Bone Frame’s personal introduction video, the group found some photos from Bone Frame’s offline idol meet-and-greet events.
At the booth, Rooney sat on a chair, shaking hands with students as they arrived, with various gifts piled up behind.
It completely turned into Rooney’s personal handshake meeting.
"Instead of receiving gifts at the idol meet-and-greet, those people are effectively bribing the new student director!"
Although there were some unexpected elements in the elimination round, the four girls and Bone Frame all smoothly advanced to the next round.
And Shami knew Bone Frame’s first place in popularity was only temporary.
After all, Rooney is just the new student director, with influence limited to the new student group.
The further into the competition, the more students from various grades and academies will participate in voting, and merely a new student director title will not be enough to continuously bring sufficient popularity.
Therefore, there’s no need to panic.
However, for the time being, the popularity garnered by the four girls is still relatively low, and Shami needs to figure out ways to increase the girls’ popularity as much as possible.
Every time she faced this bamboo forest, the Dragon Race Maiden needed to adjust her breathing, prepare mentally, and then gather the courage to walk in.
This situation has the same ring as passing by a village entrance full of elderly people during the New Year.
After participating in the idol contest, Elze became the darling of Wisdom Academy, almost every student knows Elze.
