Stronger Every Time I Die

Chapter 534 Contribution to the Country

Their eyes darted between Arthur and their documents, which they'd held onto for so long. Under Finley's rule, they'd carried these same papers back and forth to the student council office countless times. But the signature and red stamp they'd longed for had never appeared. Now, they finally had them! They'd dreamed of this day, when they could focus on their studies without fear. And it had happened so effortlessly, just by handing over their prepared documents, Arthur had approved them instantly! This group of students had bonded over their shared struggles under Finley's rule, so they knew each other's situations well. This made Arthur's review process even faster. As they stared at their documents, their eyes welled up. At that moment, they wanted to kneel before Arthur. It was because of him that they could finally study in peace, that they had a chance to graduate. Before today, many had doubted how much longer they could hold on. Tuition fees at Governance University wasn't cheap. Trying to earn enough while also supporting their families had seemed impossible. The constant financial stress had driven some to the brink of depression. But now, happiness had come so suddenly! Seeing their emotional reactions, Arthur sighed. Under normal circumstances, a straightforward review was all it should have taken. But Finley's interference had forced them through so much unnecessary hardship. Arthur's quick approval shouldn't have been such a shock. He said, "Everyone, study hard from now on. Strive to become people who contribute to society and the country, spreading positive energy! That's the best way to repay your struggles." His words were sincere. He truly hoped they could rise above their hardships and face life with resilience. Inspired, the students stood taller, as if filled with new strength. They were lucky to have met Arthur. They'd received kindness from him and the school, and now, they vowed to give back. They would become people who made a difference, who stood up for others facing similar struggles! A fire ignited in their hearts. In unison, they loudly responded, "Yes!" Arthur was startled by the sudden outburst, but his eyes shone with happiness. He smiled and nodded. "I look forward to your achievements!" By "achievements," he didn't just mean grades. Contributions to society and the country counted just as much.They all understood. Their expressions turned solemn as they nodded in unison. The way they looked at Arthur had shifted from admiration to reverence. In that moment, Arthur became their idol. They were determined to achieve great things to fulfill Arthur's expectations. Years later, every one of them would become leaders in their fields, forever remembering Arthur's words that day. These words were etched into their minds and hearts, a constant reminder. Arthur became their lifelong inspiration. But that was all in the future. For now, their hearts swelled with emotion. After everyone left, Arthur collapsed onto the bed, exhausted. Reviewing so many documents would tire anyone, let alone someone who'd recently lost blood from reopened wounds after fighting Henry's gang. Ashley hurried over with warm water, her eyes full of pity.
