My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

Chapter 56 One-Day Trial Card for the Underworld Prince

When Shiraishi Sawa walked into the classroom, the whole class stared at him.

"What's wrong, everyone?"

After looking himself over and finding nothing amiss, Shiraishi Sawa looked around the classroom and returned to his seat.

All eyes were on Shiraishi Sawa, who looked at Takeuchi Arisu, who was also staring at him. "What's going on with you guys? Why are you all staring at me?"

"Shiraishi, do you know that Akimoto Tadahiro and the others who deliberately tried to annoy you at the sports festival a few days ago were beaten up on their way home on Monday? The other two arrived this morning and, upon hearing the news, immediately called their families to come and pick them up."

"How pitiful! How badly were you beaten? Are you alright?" Shiraishi Zexiu asked, feigning concern.

"The injuries are alright, just superficial wounds. Otherwise, do you think you, the prime suspect, would have walked into this classroom peacefully? We would have smashed a cup and 108 burly policemen would have arrested you long ago."

"Why arrest me? I don't have the energy to fight four people by myself. Besides, I work at the supermarket from 5 to 7 pm."

Shiraishi Sawahide spoke with righteous indignation, after all, he really wasn't the one who hit him this time.

"You really didn't do it?" Takeuchi Arisu looked incredulous. "But I think it's definitely related to you. Everyone at school is saying you're a yakuza prince with a million men under your command. Headmaster Shiraishi, can I become a head of your clan? Or even just a regular headman?"

"Go away, this has nothing to do with me."

"Nobody believes that, Shiraishi!"

"Alright, I haven't had a chance to do it yet, and to be honest, I'm a little disappointed."

“Wouldn’t it be much more credible to say that?” Takeuchi Arisu nodded affirmatively.

Surprisingly, this rumor brought Shiraishi Zexiu quite a bit of benefit. He found that when he walked on the street, most boys who didn't know him would avoid or walk around him, while girls were more curious about him but dared not get too close. However, he received several love letters in one morning.

When I went to the cafeteria for lunch, the people in front of me naturally dispersed while I was queuing up. It wasn't until Shiraishi Sawa finished getting his food that the queue slowly started to fill up again.

Hideaki Shiraishizawa is really getting more and more fond of rumors. So this is what it's like to be the Tokyo prince!

Good rumors always spread quickly, but this time it wasn't the student council that was refuting the rumors. Shiraishi Sawa was called to the teacher's office and forced to refute them.

"Good afternoon, Gennai-sensei." Shiraishi Sawa greeted Gennai Ichiro.

"Good afternoon, Tokyo Yakuza prince." Gennai Ichiro looked at Shiraishi Sawa with a forced smile.

"Oh, not at all," Shiraishi Sawah scratched his head sheepishly. "I'm not the young master yet, but I'll work even harder, teacher. Please feel free to entrust this task to me!"

"I'll hand you over my head!" Gennai Ichiro leaned closer and whispered to Shiraishi Sawa Hide, "Tell the teacher first, were you the one who hit those people?"

"I really wasn't a teacher..." Shiraishi Zexiu said helplessly, repeating what he had said in class that morning.

Shiraishi Sawa also noticed that the gap where the recliner used to be had become empty; Gennai-sensei was really cunning.

Gennai Ichiro remained somewhat skeptical, and finally added,

"If you ever do this again, remember not to make it so obvious. This time everyone thinks you did it. Okay, write a clarification, I'll put it on the bulletin board, and you can leave."

Sometimes the truth is hard to believe, and Shiraishi Sawah had no choice but to write a statement refuting his status as the Tokyo prince.

"Oh, by the way, Shiraishi, there's a competition over here, only for first-year students. Would you like to participate?"

Before Shiraishizawa Hide could refuse, Gennai Ichiro gestured for him to be quiet.

"Don't rush to refuse, let me finish. There's a prize money involved in winning this award."

Shiraishi Sawa chose to remain silent and wait for further developments.

Gennai Ichiro lowered his hand and continued:

"I'll start with the preliminary rounds. The top 0.5% get the Grand Prize, with a cash prize of 100,000 yen, plus an additional 30,000 yen from the school, totaling 130,000 yen; the top 2% get the First Prize, with a total cash prize of 70,000 yen; the top 10% get the Second Prize, with a total cash prize of 15,000 yen; and the top 30% get the Third Prize, with a total cash prize of 4000 yen."

I'll tell you about the semi-finals once you make it into the top 10%. There's a prize money there too, much higher than this.

The teacher has two spots available, intended for you and Takanashi. What do you think? If not, I'll give them to another student.

"Bringing honor to the school is the duty that every student of Mingchuan must uphold." Bai Shizexiu's gaze was firm, and his words were righteous.

"Come on, you!" Gennai Ichiro laughed and scolded. "You really can't participate in anything that doesn't benefit you."

"Teacher, what kind of competition is this, and when does it start?"

"The Zhiqing All-Around Knowledge Competition covers a wide range of topics, including mathematics, English, art, judo theory, and basic life knowledge. The school will arrange for your seniors who have participated in previous years to provide one-on-one or one-to-many tutoring. You can ask them for more details later."

As for the time, it will be quite soon. The competition will start in three weeks. Luckily, the preliminary round will be held at our school this time, so you won't have to go far away.

I feel more at ease leaving this to you and Mr. Takanashi so that it won't affect your academic performance, especially since you're the kind of person who doesn't study even without competitions.

"Alright, you can go back now. When you get back to the classroom, please call Takanashi over for me."

--

Shiraishi Sawashu didn't understand why his classmates were starting to prepare now, even though the final exams weren't until mid-July.

Won't you forget what you've learned in a month?

Back in the classroom, Shiraishi Sawa, who had nothing to do, noticed that his classmates were all studying hard during breaks.

A few minutes later, Yuko Takanashi returned.

"Is it about the knowledge competition, Takanashi?" Shiraishi Sawah poked Takanashi Yuuko's back with the cap of his pen.

"Yes, Shiraishi-kun, you're the other one, right? Let's do our best together." After saying this, Takanashi Yuuko turned back to the book she hadn't finished reading.

Yuko Takanashi is also a member of the "pre-exam review party".

The vibration of a message on his phone interrupted Shiraishi Sawa's bored reverie.

Clicking on the top reveals a message from Taichi Oki.

"Shiraishi, the student council was supposed to hold a celebration for the successful conclusion of the sports festival this Friday afternoon during the regular meeting time, and then throw you a farewell party, so the two presidents asked me to remind you to come."

"Let me make one thing clear first. The details of this farewell party were handled by the president and his team, not by you, right?" Shiraishi Zexiu still vividly remembered the last farewell party held by the organization department.

Once tricked by Taiichi Oki, one fears farewell parties for ten years.

"No, no! (awkward.JPG) I specifically asked Miko about this, and she said there will be plenty of food this time, so you definitely won't go back hungry!"

"Alright, I'll trust you one more time, Minister Oki. I'll go."

"Great! Since all of our members will be attending, we don't have enough meeting rooms, so the location has been changed to the lecture hall in Building B. Don't go to the wrong place! Also, remember to prepare a farewell speech!"

"understood."

Chapter 57 A Relatively Normal Farewell Party

Pushing open the door to the lecture hall, there was nothing strange this time, just a few targets and board games. It seemed that this time he wouldn't have to play the kind of targeted games as last time. Moreover, Shiraishi Sawa immediately saw what was most important to him: a large pile of food on the big table in the center of the venue. In addition to snacks, there were also a lot of cooked food.

The lecture hall was large, so everyone could choose their own seats freely. The hall was mostly filled with about a dozen people from each department sitting together.

Shiraishi Sawa immediately spotted Taichi Oki's enormous and prominent body, and walked towards the area where he was.

"Ah, Shiraishi, you've arrived. This is Hosokawa Yuuto, the original first-year student representative. This is your first time meeting, isn't it?"

Taichi Oki introduced a man whom Hideaki Shiraishizawa had never seen before.

"Hello, my name is Shiraishi Sawa Hide." Shiraishi Sawa Hide shook hands with Hosokawa Yuuto.

"Thank you so much for helping me complete the tasks assigned by the Organization Department this past month. You've worked so hard!" Hosokawa Yuuto bowed to Shiraishi Sawahide.

"You're welcome."

Shiraishi Sawahide sat in his seat waiting for the meal to start—no, for the victory celebration to begin.

Soga Kirei and Shimizu Yoshiko were the last two to enter. After closing the door, the two walked onto the stage.

He wasn't sure if it was just Shiraishi Sawa's imagination, but he felt that Soga Kirei was in a very low mood today.

Shimizu Yoshiko gestured for everyone to be quiet, and then began to read Soga Kirei's manuscript.

Overall, it was praised that the sports festival was a great success, and no unexpected incidents occurred.

"...Secondly, one of our student council members, Hideaki Shiraishi, will be leaving the student council today..."

Upon hearing his name called, Shiraishi Sawah broke out of his reverie and looked at the stage.

"Every member of the organization department speaks highly of Shiraishizawa Hide, and the department head even believes that he has helped him a lot in the past month, and has even enlightened him on his life path..."

Upon hearing this, Taichi Oki raised an eyebrow at Hideaki Shiraishi, leaned closer, and whispered, "I've decided to schedule that trip we four were supposed to take during summer vacation. I've been busy these past few weekends, either because of other commitments or because final exams are approaching. What do you think?"

"As long as you can get the president and vice president, I should have no problem." After answering, Shiraishi Sawa continued to listen to the praise he received.

"...Therefore, after discussing with the vice president, we have decided to grant Bai Shi the status of an unofficial student council member, which means he will enjoy some student council benefits, can voluntarily participate in student council activities, and can attend the general meeting as the second freshman representative of the organization department..."

Shiraishi Sawa frowned, then relaxed his grip. If it was entirely voluntary, it wouldn't do him any harm; he could even enjoy some of the student council's benefits.

"Now, please welcome Hideaki Shiraishi to the stage to say his farewell words."

Shiraishi Sawa walked onto the stage, stood next to Soga Kirei, and picked up the microphone:

"Thank you to all the student council members for your companionship this past month..."

These are farewell words that Shiraishi Sawa found painstakingly on the internet and memorized in seven or eight minutes.

After the official farewell, it was the turn of the officials from various departments to offer their blessings. After several rounds of this, it was finally time for free time.

"...Now, please enjoy this victory celebration banquet to the fullest!"

The multimedia equipment played soft, light music, and everyone flocked to their favorite areas.

Shiraishi Sawa, who had been thanking various departments for their blessings on stage, walked directly to the central table.

At this time, it seems that not many people actually want to eat. Most are playing board games or throwing darts. If they get hungry, they just grab a few bags of snacks and go back. There are very few people around the cooked food area.

Holding a small plate, Shiraishi Sawah picked up a piece of sushi with his fork and put it in his mouth. When he finished chewing, he found that Soga Kirei was standing next to him at some point.

"President, would you like something to eat? If it's the middle section, I can get it for you."

Suga Kirei shook her head. Since there was practically no one around, she simply spoke.

"Will you still come to the meeting next Friday, Shiraishi? You've already been given an unofficial status, so you won't clash with Hosokawa Yuu's freshman representative anymore."

"Haha, I have a feeling that you really wanted me to come, President..."

"Yes."

Soga Kiriren's sudden affirmation stopped Shiraishizawa Hide from uttering the little joke he was about to make.

"But there's nothing I can do, President, I can't come." Shiraishi Sawa Hide shook his head again.
