I just want your reward.

For example, in a sense, Nangumo Masaru's guidance of Ichinose Honami might have been aimed at Horikita Manabu.

"Very good, you did guess right, but there is one thing I need to add." Horikita Manabu said, "The reason why Nanyun targeted me is not only because of his boring ideas, but also because of myself."

Suzuki Toru's eyes sparkled, but he didn't speak immediately.

"Nan Yun and I have different positions on certain issues. He hopes to change the existing school rules through the student union and implement a thorough supremacy of strength. If nothing unexpected happens, his ideas will force many students to drop out of school, turning it into a zero-sum game, where it's either you or me."

Having said this, Horikita Manabu suddenly paused.

"Do you know about the second-year dropouts?" he asked Suzuki Toru.

It is difficult to get information from senior grades, especially about the situation in your own class, as most of the time they are on guard against their opponents.

However, it's just a number of people, which can be found out with a little effort, not to mention that Suzuki Toru doesn't have to go there in person.

Someone has already done the intelligence work for him.

"I heard that more than a dozen people dropped out." Suzuki Toru replied.

Horikita Manabu nodded slightly: "Most of them are innocent people, and a few are opponents of Nanyun."

At this time, Tachibana Akane also spoke up: "The first dropout of the second grade occurred in the first semester of last year. At that time, three students dropped out, one from Class C and one from Class D."

Suzuki Toru looked at Horikita Manabu. The student council president did not say anything, apparently agreeing with Tachibana Akane's statement.

No, it was not tacit consent. Ju Qian was originally his secretary, which was equivalent to the work of a secretary. These detailed instructions were basically the responsibility of the secretary.

"The second expulsion occurred after Nanyun led his class to surpass the original A class. In a certain exam in the second semester... you can think of it as a very special test. He attacked the C and D classes and expelled seven students at once."

As she spoke, Ju Qian seemed to feel angry and tightly grasped the notebook in her hand, leaving bruises on her fingers from the slight force.

"After this expulsion, the two classes basically obeyed his orders, and he promised to help students who obeyed his orders to be promoted to Class A, so no one dared to resist him." Tachibana Akane hated this behavior. "Originally, some people in Class A and Class B were very dissatisfied with him, but they were expelled from school one after another in the subsequent exams. Therefore, the entire second grade is now under his rule."

Hit them with a stick first, then give them candy. This tactic is really simple and crude.

But it was very effective. Suzuki Toru could imagine the panic of the two classes at that time.

First take down the weak ones who are outnumbered, and then target and blast those who are dissatisfied with you. No wonder Nan Yunya has nearly 10 million personal points. They should have been snatched from other students.

"Wouldn't the school feel that this was inappropriate?" asked Toru Suzuki.

"Even if Nan Yun caused many people to drop out of school, it was within the rules. It would be useless even if the school knew about it." Tachibana Akane complained.

This senior student is quite hostile towards Nan Yunya. Is she standing up for the second-year students?

"I'm not talking about that. What I want to say is, does the school have any objection to him uniting the entire grade to divide up the class points?" Suzuki Toru asked again.

Tachibana Akane was obviously stunned, and even Horikita Manabu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he showed a very satisfied smile.

"It's really unexpected that you can see so many things from just a few clues. Suzuki, you are better than Ichinose."

"I just find it strange. If a grade unites, the school's purpose of having them compete with each other loses its meaning, right?"

"The current director of this school, Sakayanagi, is a very open-minded person. Although I often feel that the school feels helpless and distressed about this, Sakayanagi will not interfere in the affairs of students at will."

"..."

In other words, the school is turning a blind eye?

As soon as this thought came to Suzuki Toru's mind, he put it out of his mind.

The school would never allow such a situation to happen. The reason why they can tolerate Nanyun Masaru now is probably because he has done something that others cannot do. Even Horikita Manabu cannot control the entire grade.

Cases like Nan Yunya's are definitely extremely rare, and may even be the first in history.

Therefore, the school can accept Nanyun Miyabi.

But I will not accept the emergence of another person who controls the entire grade. This is just like the planner of a certain game, who will not let you take advantage of several versions in a row.

Even if they have to grit their teeth, the school will increase the difficulty and make some cuts.

"After I step down, Nanyun will push for reforms immediately. By then, the number of people who drop out due to not adapting to the situation should increase dramatically." Horikita Manabu looked at Suzuki Toru seriously, "Although this school believes in strength above all else, I think it's enough for now. In addition to competition, students will also need other things."

He understood that Nanyun Masa was a radical reformer and Horikita Manabu was a conservative old-fashioned person, which was why the latter said that their positions were different.

Chapter 23 Mutual Cooperation

"Suzuki, even if you know this, do you still want to stick to your previous idea?"

Horikita Manabu observed Suzuki Toru's expression, but still didn't see any change. He seemed to have expected it, and his eyelids didn't even twitch.

You know clearly that Nanyun Masa is the king who controls the second graders, and even the students who tried to resist Nanyun Masa were expelled. Are you still not afraid?

Wait, this new student isn't fearless.

Just by looking at what Suzuki Toru said just now, it is not difficult to find that he had actually guessed all this a long time ago, and he guessed it before Horikita Manabu explained it.

Otherwise, Suzuki Toru wouldn't have come up and said, "I'll help you deal with Nan Yun Miya."

It was because I guessed all this that I knocked on the door of the Student Union.

So that's how it is. This year's freshmen really should not be underestimated, Horikita Manabu sighed silently in his heart.

However, even though he thought he understood Suzuki Toru's thoughts, silence followed.

"The fact that Nanyun can control the entire grade shows that the second-year seniors are too incompetent." Suzuki Tetsu said shockingly, "Now he wants to cross grades to deal with you, senior, and he will definitely be able to bring future third-year students to deal with me in the future. We must get rid of Nanyun as soon as possible, or at least shake his position."

Horikita Manabu was truly silent this time. Does this freshman know what he is saying?

"Hey, first-year, do you think you're telling a joke?" Tachibana Akane stared at Suzuki Toru unkindly, "As a freshman, your attitude needs to improve. It's not good to be too arrogant, okay?"

"I hope to deal with this matter before the end of the first year, that is, before you seniors graduate." Suzuki Toru ignored her and continued to talk to Horikita Manabu.

"You have absolutely no idea, do you? Even though I'm reluctant, Nan Yun is indeed very powerful now. In the next semester, he will take over the student union. How are you going to deal with such an opponent?" Tachibana Akane looked at him as if he was an idiot.

At the same time, Horikita Manabu also said: "Perhaps you have not yet felt the power of the student council. You are qualified to make suggestions on the school rules and change some rewards or punishments, including the exams you will encounter in the future."

Having said that, he stopped talking, as this was the maximum amount of information he had revealed.

"So, I'm now planning to buy a seat in the student union." Suzuki Toru said in the same serious tone.

Horikita Manabu was slightly startled, then shook his head: "I can allow you to join the student council, but please don't have too many expectations. Tachibana Akane and I are all going to resign, and there will be various battles and competitions ahead."

"Not only us, you freshmen will soon run into them too." Ju Qian snorted and reminded, "This school is no joke. I'm afraid even the class troubles will be enough to cause you trouble!"

Obviously, both Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane think that Suzuki Toru does not have much energy and strength to deal with Nanyun Masa at this stage.

After all, the competition among the first graders has not yet started completely, and it would be counterproductive to intervene in the battle among the senior grades too early.

"Senior, I still think you should accept these personal points." Suzuki Toru didn't care about their opinions. The two of them didn't have too many wishes and were not worthy of his special attention.

Well, compared to Horikita Manabu, his sister deserves more attention.

Hearing what Suzuki Tetsu said, Horikita Manabu couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion: "You should know that you have already passed my requirements, why are you wasting personal points?"

In response, Suzuki Toru calmly said, "Because I need a place in the student union, a place that anyone can join."

Ju Qian was stunned and found that she couldn't understand what he was saying. Who did he want to join the student union?

"Okay." Horikita Manabu gave Suzuki Toru a deep look, "The deadline is the end of this month. The list of candidates for the student council will be announced next month."

Toru Suzuki finally smiled. After the deal was done, the next step was cooperation.

"If I have something that may involve the school's restricted area and I want to ask a senior for help, would you help me?"

Horikita Manabu was silent for a moment: "This is why you came to me, right?"

"It's just mutual cooperation." Suzuki Toru smiled slightly.

"I'll decide whether to help you or not depending on the situation."

"Thank you very much, Senior."

After exchanging contact information, Suzuki Toru transferred one million personal points to Horikita Manabu's account without hesitation.

As soon as the transfer was completed, Suzuki Toru suddenly asked, "By the way, does Senior have a younger sister?"

Hearing this, Tachibana Akane's eyes widened.

"Hey, President, do you have a younger sister?"

Horikita Manabu was slightly stunned, and looked Suzuki Toru up and down again: "Have you seen Suzune?"

"Yes, but I find it a little strange. She is obviously the senior's sister, so why isn't she in Class A?" Suzuki Toru didn't think he was lying. After all, he had seen Horikita Suzune from a distance at the club briefing.

After a moment of silence, Horikita Manabu said, "She lacks the corresponding qualifications in certain aspects, so it's not surprising that she is not in Class A."

Suzuki Toru's eyes sparkled: "Senior, won't you help your sister?"

Hearing this, Horikita Manabu couldn't help but frown and said, "Suzune isn't worthy of your attention, right?"

"I'm just curious about what you think, senior."

"Even if I am the president of the student union, it is not a reason to abuse my power for personal gain. I will not do anything unnecessary."

"I see."

Having said this, Suzuki Toru was about to leave contentedly, but he didn't expect Horikita Manabu to suddenly stop him.

"Suzuki, I have one last question." Horikita Manabu's eyes were sharp, "What is your purpose in wanting to join the student council?"

A lot has been said before, but not a single word is about Suzuki Toru himself.

At this point, Horikita Manabu still couldn't figure out what this freshman was thinking and what his purpose was.

The more this happened, the more serious Horikita Manabu's expression became. Suzuki Toru was so outstanding that he became very worried.

Suzuki Toru met Horikita Manabu's eyes in silence. Was he afraid that he would become the next Nangumo Masa?

It only took him a moment to think before he gave his answer.

“I need the student council.”

After saying this, Suzuki Toru left the student union office.

Ju Qian felt a little angry. This first-year student was so rude!

And what do you mean I need the student union? It's like I'm buying a handy hammer at a convenience store!

"President, I think it is necessary to discipline this freshman. His words and deeds need to be corrected!" Ju Qian said angrily.

"Why are you so angry with him?" asked Horikita Manabu.

"Because he looks like he's so great!"

"Ju, is there a possibility that he needs this kind of preemptive momentum to intimidate us?"

"What do you mean?"

Horikita Manabu did not answer Tachibana Akane's doubts, but sighed deeply. There was Nangumo Masa in the second grade, and now there was a new student in the first grade who should not be underestimated. What would happen in the future?

Just as I was about to continue my work in the Student Union, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

When I looked up, I saw a student standing at the door. Not only was he bald, but he also didn't have any eyebrows, which was extremely rare.

"Excuse me, I'm Kōhei Katsuragi from Class A, Grade 1. I want to apply to join the student council. Here's my application form."

Horikita Manabu was stunned at first. It turned out to be another student from Class A. Are all the students in Class A this year excellent?

This thought flashed through his mind, and then he suppressed his emotions.

"Please come in."

After a while, Horikita Manabu became disappointed with Katsuragi Kōhei.

This student is also very outstanding, but when compared with Suzuki Toru, he seems a little mediocre and does not have the latter's stunningness.

Let's stay outside for now and observe after a while, Horikita Manabu thought.

Chapter 24: Ichinose is worried

Just after coming out of the student union office, Suzuki Toru saw a familiar figure not long after he walked.

Katsuragi Kohei.

The other party was obviously stunned as well; he didn't expect to see him here.

"Good afternoon." Suzuki Toru took the initiative to greet, "Katsuragi-san is also planning to join the student council?"

I originally wanted to ask him why he was here, but he spoke first. Katsuragi Kōhei was caught off guard and nodded subconsciously.

Arisu Sakayanagi's performance today was so eye-catching that it made Kōhei Katsuragi feel a sense of crisis, not to mention that he himself had some ideas about the student union.
