I, the mastermind behind the scenes at Soubu High, refuse to be caught in a bloodbath.

"You know perfectly well what I'm asking. Of course, it's a physical examination notice issued by the school board. The specific procedures are arranged by the student council, and the doctors are all provided by the Gidou family."

Ji Xiaolu gave a wry smile, her soft white hair dancing wildly in the wind.

"Since the inspection was initiated by the school board, couldn't you just make a phone call and resolve it?"

Kazusa turned her head and glared at him, seemingly unwilling to show him any mercy.

"Please, my dear Kazusa-nee, if physical examinations were completely abolished, the school's mailroom would be flooded with protest letters from parents alone. Then, the next day, the national media would swarm the school like flies smelling blood, armed with cameras and vehicles, seizing every opportunity to interview every student and teacher. So, power isn't meant to be abused like that. Also, keep a low profile, keep a low profile..."

Himekoji shrugged and grabbed Kazusa's slender arm that was exposed.

"I dont go."

She didn't try to break free, but she kept frowning, her other hand gripping the barbed wire tightly, her gaze fixed on the green area in the distance, as if trying to find some clues in that forest.

"Come on, I'll take you to my house for a delicious meal this weekend."

"Goo-"

She unconsciously let out a small sound, and the grip on the barbed wire in her left hand loosened slightly.

"I will also ask my mother to draw a picture of you, in the pose you like."

"Waaah—"

Kazusa glanced at Himekoji briefly, but quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

"I'll take you to my house for a nice meal on Saturday, and on Sunday I'll take you to Hakone, Karuizawa is fine, Izu is also okay, or you can choose any place you like. It's been a while since you've been to a hot spring, hasn't it?"

"Aaaaaah! Stop tempting me!"

Kazusa turned her head and puffed out her cheeks into two pink buns. She loosened her grip on the barbed wire with her left hand, and the indifferent look she had put on earlier completely disappeared. At this moment, she was just a simple and cute girl.

"Alright, alright, sister, you should hurry up and go line up for the check-up. Otherwise, if you're missing for too long, your homeroom teacher will have to organize students to look for you again."

Himeko gently squeezed Kazusa's shoulder and pushed her downstairs. After taking two steps, Kazusa stopped in a huff and said, "I'm not going any further."

"Let's go, let's go." Ji Xiaolu reached out and tickled her armpits with his ten fingers.

"Oh! Hahahaha... Hahahaha... Okay, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go! I'll go right now, hahahaha... Spare me."

Kazusa was at her wits' end with this. The two of them used to play around like this when they were little. So Kazusa gave in and was half-heartedly dragged down from the top floor of the school building by Himekoji's arm. She threw a little tantrum, shook off his hand, and joined the girls' line. Before leaving, she stuck her tongue out at him and made a face.

"Oh dear, there's just no way to deal with her, this mischievous older sister."

Ji Xiaolu scratched his head and clicked his tongue. After discussing with the teachers for a while, he also joined the line for physical examinations.

Not long after the examination, Himekoji was walking alone in the courtyard when Kasumigaoka almost knocked him to the ground. Kasumigaoka's voice, filled with heavy sobs, startled Himekoji. He questioned her for a long time, but she didn't say anything. Just as Himekoji's face darkened, thinking that she had been bullied by that brat Aki Tomoya, Kasumigaoka unfolded a crumpled report in front of him.

The area depicting the weight appeared to have been scratched several times with fingernails, almost as if it had been gouged out.

"50.2 kilograms, isn't that perfect...?"

Ji Xiaolu felt like she was overthinking things.

"50.2! That's 50.2! Doesn't Inspiration know the significance of that?!"

With red eyes, Kasumigaoka clung tightly to Himekoji's shoulders, her sharp nails almost digging into his flesh.

"Shiyu, you've only gained a kilogram since you weighed yourself last month, and you're still at a standard model weight, so don't be so sad."

Ji Xiaolu comforted her by touching her smooth hair; the headband on her forehead felt very smooth to the touch.

"Ugh...that's a kilogram, a kilogram!" Kasumigaoka said through gritted teeth behind Himekoji's back. "No, I have to lose weight!"

"...Girls will cry."

"Those shameless bastards who can't control their mouths and don't exercise properly to lose weight... I don't care what happens to them!"

"You were just trying to call her a little bitch, weren't you?"

Ji Xiaolu's lips twitched. Senior really doesn't hold back when she speaks.

"Waaah—, I've gained weight!"

After talking for so long, we've come back to the original topic. As a result, after the students witnessed this scene, a bizarre rumor, which was based on a lot of wild imagination, started to circulate.

The story goes that student council president Haruto Himekoji abused his power by forcing his ex-girlfriend, the icy beauty Touma Kazusa, a third-year student, into an indescribable transaction on the rooftop, after which there were subtle signs of reconciliation. Then, at noon, Kasumigaoka Utaha, the popular school beauty he had previously dumped but now rekindled, presented him with a pregnancy test report, crying and demanding he take responsibility, repeatedly saying, "Touma this, Touma that." Meanwhile, Haruto Himekoji looked impatient, seemingly ready to abandon Utaha once again and accept Touma Kazusa.

Chapter 023 You're Not Allowed to Look! [Kido Mariya] Isn't a Girl!

As a result, as soon as Ji Xiaolu returned to the classroom in the afternoon, he was met with glaring stares from all the girls in the class, and he was practically the last person to know about the rumor.

Ultimately, the reason all the doctors were sent by the Gido family was solely to conceal the true genders of Mariya and his sister Shizuka.

in the afternoon

In physical education class, classes J and D were together. The activity was to play tennis in pairs. Himekoji and Shinomiya Kyoya naturally teamed up. Although many girls were willing to team up with him, he was a little worried that he might knock a girl unconscious with one shot. However, he had no such worries when facing Shinomiya because Shinomiya was the protagonist and he was sure he could handle it.

As for why Kyoya wanted to team up with Himekoji... it's because too many girls are eyeing him, and teaming up with a guy would reduce the pressure (so Kyoya is completely oblivious to the plight of the starving, a harem king, the protagonist's troubles!).

"Every time I have club activities after PE class, the club president questions my sexual orientation."

While resting, Kyoya wiped his sweat and said that he noticed that Himekoji was hardly sweating at all, and had only taken a few breaths.

"Huh? They're questioning your sexual orientation? At this point, you should act swiftly and decisively, making sure that childish minister has absolutely no reason to doubt you!"

Himeko took a sip of water. On the other side of the playground, on the basketball court, it seemed that two first-grade classes were having a PE class. The cute Mariya was jumping around in the girls' group, sweating profusely. Her soft, flowing blonde hair, her shiny, smooth armpits... cough cough cough!

"President, are you looking at first-year girls? Interested?" Kyoya followed his gaze, and Himeko grabbed Kyoya's head and turned it around, saying seriously, "No, that's not true. It's all speculation. No comment!"

Because I don't watch girls, I'm not interested in first-grade girls, yeah, that's it!

"I have a feeling that the level of suspicion is increasing exponentially..."

"No complaining, okay, let's keep practicing!"

Himekoji released Kyoya's head and began a new round of confrontation, resulting in Himekoji hitting Kyoya on the forehead with a ball and knocking him unconscious... When he woke up, he was once again facing an unfamiliar ceiling.

After school on Wednesday, a familiar yet unfamiliar guest came to the student council room: Yui Yuigahama.

"Um, I...I want to join the club. By the way, everyone, is my outfit alright today?"

Yuigahama walked in cautiously, as if she was worried that someone was planning to lock the door and start playing Yuigahama Yui Muzan as soon as she entered.

Strictly speaking...

Ju also spoke up.

"They don't want strict rules! They want more lenient ones!"

"Oh, really? So you're one of those who think it's okay to be a little more relaxed..." Kasumigaoka-senpai said without any restraint, "Have you had dozens of boyfriends? Or rather, a hundred-person slayer?"

"Eee ...

"Yes, what's up?"

"I would like to apply to join the Service Department..."

With a long face, Yui handed the signed application form to Himekoji. It was safe to say that Himekoji had never seen a more casual application form in all her time in the student council. But oh well, if she rejected it, she would lose favor with Hiratsuka-sensei. So Himekoji casually handed the application to Mariya and said, "Put it in the Service Club's file and take out the original Service Club file for her to sign."

"It's that simple?!"

"What else did you expect?" Ji Xiaolu rolled her eyes and said, "Did you think this was some kind of den of wolves and tigers, where anyone who came in would have to suffer a lot of damage before they could leave?"

"Ah...no, it's just that what Kasumigaoka-senpai said at the beginning made me misunderstand too much..."

Yui quickly blushed and denied it.

"You're so easily swayed, you'd be perfect as a toy, haha."

Jasmine covered her mouth and chuckled mischievously. She was a bit interested in Yui Hama, despite her outwardly sassy but inwardly masochistic nature. "Yui Hama, run! If you don't run now, it'll be too late!"

"Well then, everyone, Yuigahama Yui takes her leave!"

Yuihama gave them a playful salute, then quickly slipped out of the clubroom.

Just as Himekoji was wondering if Hiratsuka Shizuka would call him at this time... his phone kept vibrating, and when he took it out, it was indeed Hiratsuka Shizuka calling.

"It's me, Ms. Hiratsuka. What can I do for you?"

"Your application for Yui Yuigahama has been approved?"

"I have no reason not to approve it. I'm not deliberately hostile to Yukino. Disliking her personality and style is one thing, but work is another."

"Hmm, not bad, I have high hopes for you," Hiratsuka Shizuka paused, then added somewhat sheepishly, "By the way, about the recent problem students..."

"Please, I'm the student council president, not the head of the service club, and certainly not the head of the daycare. Ms. Hiratsuka, can you please give me some peace and quiet?"

Himekoji rarely complained, and the other end went silent, but still didn't hang up.

"I have a good candidate to recommend for this."

"Oh? Big sister, I'm very interested in this."

"My recommender is Kido Mariya, the student council vice president who is sitting next to me now."

Ji Xiaolu glanced at Juye, who was also completely bewildered, not knowing who she had sold her to.

"Um, I'm not the head of the daycare center..."

Ju also pointed to her face and whispered in defense.

"Then it's up to you. Your people will know the details when they get there."

After saying that, Hiratsuka Shizuka hung up the phone. Himeko stared at the caller ID for a long time, wondering why she felt that she hadn't really connected with Hiratsuka Shizuka since they exchanged contact information, and that it was Hiratsuka who was making her more and more bossy.

"Ju Ye, mission."

"Is it possible for me to refuse?"

"Have."

"Now that you've said that, I don't dare to refuse anymore. So what's going on?"

Juye put down her work with a sigh, looking miserable. At that moment, Jasmine reminded her, "Miss Juye, a lady shouldn't look so gloomy. Frowning can cause forehead wrinkles."

Nonsense! My mom cries nonstop whenever something happens! She doesn't have many wrinkles, and she's as pretty as a little girl! —Rich Lolita (just kidding)

Chapter 024 Terrified! [Totsuka Saika] is about to be taken away by the student council.

"No, you actually have the right to refuse. I'm just recommending you to go; it doesn't mean you have to go."

Ji Xiaolu was extremely busy here. In addition to those special applications that were definitely going to be rejected and those that were definitely going to be approved, she had to weigh the ambiguous ones herself. Of course, when she was unsure, she would often hold a vote within the student council.
