.............

Two days later, on Monday morning, at the gate of the private Shuchiin Academy.

Asagiri, who had just arrived at the school gate with Yuuki Asuna and Iwanaga Kotoko, saw a large group of students gathered in front of them. Each of them had an angry look on their face and was staring at the flyers posted at the school gate.

"Utsunomiya-san is here."

I don't know who shouted this, but the crowded crowd in front of me automatically made way for Asagiri.

He walked forward slowly and saw the flyers on the wall that clearly read...

[The strongest high school that doesn't live up to its reputation, the weak ones who indulge in self-satisfaction - Private Shuchiin Academy]

Chapter 109:106 Final Speech of the Campaign

After reading this shocking title, Asagiri continued to look down and saw the ranking of the top three universities in Tokyo written on the flyer.

[First: Private Toyosaki Academy]

Second: Private Okiya High School

Tied for third place: Private Shuchiin Academy, Koukou Ikusei Junior High School

I have to say that the writer Ashikaga Miwa hired is indeed very capable. If he had simply ranked the private Shuchiin Academy third, the students of Shuchiin Academy might not have been so angry, but...

Highly bred?

Koukou Ikusei Junior High School, tied with Shuchiin for third place! ?

Isn't this an insult to Shuchiin?

"A closed prison that recruits all kinds of rotten fish and shrimp and can't even be called a school is worthy of being compared with our Xiuzhiyuan? It's so stupid that it makes me laugh."

After hearing Asagiri's words, the students from Shuchiin Academy around him had only one thought in their minds.

That’s the taste, so refreshing!

As expected, it has to be Utsunomiya-san’s sharp comments. This is what is called speaking one’s mind directly, this is what is called a killer blow.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t have that flavor at all.

"Private Toyonosaki? Private Okuni High School? Such a school is actually ranked ahead of our Shuchiin. It seems the outside world really doesn't understand what kind of place our Shuchiin is."

Asagiri directly tore off a flyer posted at the school gate, glanced at the students around her, and didn't say much. She just walked straight into Shuchiin with Yuuki Asuna and Iwanaga Kotoko.

..........

When he arrived at the Shuchiin auditorium, Asagiri saw a long queue on both sides of the auditorium entrance. They were all male students, and judging from their height and physique, they were all members of the sports club. They were even arranged in order of height.

"Utsunomiya-san!"

When the president of the basketball club saw Asagiri coming over, he immediately greeted her with a bright smile.

"Come on, we are all here to support you!"

Asagiri chuckled and asked back.

"Isn't this a bit too loud?"

The basketball club president patted his shoulder and laughed heartily.

"After all, it's your campaign, so the momentum has to be raised a bit."

Asagiri corrected him with the same smile.

"Thank you for your support, but please note that this is not my campaign. I am only running as deputy. This is Shinomiya-san's campaign."

"It's all the same."

After exchanging pleasantries, the basketball club president asked in a slightly nervous tone.

"Can we win? If we lose, all of us...will become laughingstocks."

"lose?"

Chao Wu shook his head, walked slowly towards the auditorium door, and said lightly.

"We will definitely win."

Looking at Asagiri's back and the expectant expressions of the students from the sports club on both sides, Yuuki Asuna's eyes flashed, as if she was talking to Iwanaga Kotoko beside her, or as if she was muttering to herself.

"He's just like that... He makes you feel like if you just follow his steps, you'll definitely win. This thrilling yet reassuring feeling is truly addictive..."

Iwanaga Kotoko smiled slightly upon hearing this and spoke slowly.

"But we want more than just to follow him, right?"

"Correct."

Asuna Yuuki smiled and nodded, then walked forward with Kotoko Iwanaga and caught up with Asagiri.

Companions in a team should move forward side by side.

...............

When Chao Wu entered the auditorium, many students were already sitting there. The originally noisy auditorium suddenly became silent, and hundreds of eyes were cast towards him standing at the door.

"It's Utsunomiya-san..."

"He's the one who's going to give the speech later, right?"

"Today is the first time I've seen him in person, and he's really handsome."

"Don't be fooled by appearances. I heard that this Utsunomiya-san is a very tough person. He didn't even back down when facing the student council president."

"That's as it should be. After all, he's the one who wants to take the student council president's position away from the seniors."

"Such a strong sense of oppression... Is this the strongest genius among the first graders..."

After seeing Asagiri appear, there was a brief silence in the auditorium for a few seconds, and then the students began to whisper to each other, and everyone felt an inexplicable tension and anticipation in their hearts.

A freshman who had just entered the school had a head-on confrontation with the student council president of a senior year. This had actually happened several times in the history of Shuchi Academy, but this time was different.

Everyone, whether they were first-years, second-years, third-years, or even the teachers at Shuchi Academy, were looking forward to the final Student Council President election, because this time...

The first-year students Utsunomiya Asagiri and Shinomiya Kaguya really have a chance of winning. In fact, judging from the current situation, the chances of these two winning are even greater than those of the previous student council.

Could it be that today...

Is this the moment to witness the breaking of Shuchiin's history?

"Utsunomiya-san."

"Utsunomiya-san, Asuna, hello~"

Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara, who were standing at the door, greeted Asagiri and Asuna Yuuki, while Kotoko Iwanaga patted Asagiri's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Come on~"

"rest assured."

"Okay, I'll go sit down first."

After Kotoko Iwanaga went to the Class A seating area first, Kaguya Shinomiya, Chika Fujiwara, Asagiri Utsunomiya, and Asuna Yuuki, the four members participating in the student council election, came to the preparation room backstage of the auditorium.

"The day has finally come."

Kaguya Shinomiya took out a few stapled papers from her bag and handed them to Asagiri.

"A speech."

Faced with the speech manuscript handed to her by Kaguya Shinomiya, Asagiri just waved her hand.

"It's no longer needed."

"Don't you need it?"

Fujiwara Chika looked puzzled when she heard this.

"But the speech notes that after our election victory, we'll improve various school systems, as well as adjustments based on individual student perspectives. Adding these details to the speech won't affect your original intention..."

"Fujiwara-san, you, like our competitors, have overlooked the most important thing."

Asagiri looked at Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya in front of him and spoke slowly.

"Although the Shuchi Academy student council election is modeled after the formal system of council elections in every way, ultimately, the voting rights are in the hands of high school students. Unlike adults, most high school students are easily emotionally aroused. What I need to do is stir up their emotions. Anything else, whether it's voting for a school trip location or extra classes with outstanding teachers, will only cool their heated emotions."

Fujiwara Chika nodded at first, not quite understanding, and then asked curiously.

"But if they bring up these things in their speech and use them to attack us, wouldn't that put us in a disadvantageous position?"

"Even if we bring it up, it's still the same, because the other party's speech comes after ours. Even if we bring up what we just said, they can still increase the conditions we offer. This is the advantage of being the last one to come on stage. If they want, they can always make better promises than us and offer conditions that are more attractive to students, but..."

Having said that, Asagiri changed the subject.

"Ordinary things like these can be accomplished by anyone who becomes the student council president. What I'm about to tell the students below is that only I can do it, and they will believe that only I can do it. It's a promise that no one else can replace."

After saying that, Asagiri looked at Kaguya Shinomiya and said with a smile.

"Is this okay, Shinomiya-san?"

"Don't ask for my opinion. Leave it to you to decide."

Shinomiya Kaguya nodded slightly and spoke in a calm tone.

"I believe you."

Hearing what Shinomiya Kaguya said, Fujiwara Chika, her long-time friend, couldn't help but look surprised.

Only Fujiwara Chika knows how special the word "believe" is to Shinomiya Kaguya.

I see......

Kaguya has changed a lot.

................

Twenty minutes later, in the auditorium of Shuchiin.

"Utsunomiya-san is on stage."

Seeing Asagiri slowly walk to the front center of the stage and start adjusting the position of the microphone, the students in the audience suddenly quieted down. The only sound in the audience was the sound of Asagiri's fingertips touching the microphone, which was played from the loudspeakers in the auditorium.

"Hello everyone, I'm the speaker for this student council election, and first-year Kaguya Shinomiya-san's deputy, and first-year Utsunomiya Asagiri."

After making a brief opening speech, Asagiri took out the bound speeches from his arms, but his next move was beyond everyone's expectations.

"I originally prepared a speech, but this kind of thing is completely meaningless."

Asagiri tore up the speech manuscript in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it casually on the ground. Then he raised his head and looked at the thousands of teachers and students in the audience. There was no nervousness on his face, and he just said lightly.

"In my class's joint entrance exam, four of the top ten students chose to enroll in the private Shuchiin Academy, including me, who ranked first in the joint entrance exam."

"In the previous class, five of the top ten students were admitted to Shuchi Academy, and in the class before that, eight were admitted."

Having said that, Asagiri paused for a few seconds, giving the students below the stage enough time to think, and then slowly spoke.

"Shuchiin's status and reputation are rapidly declining. I'm sure many of you here have seen the flyers at the school gate. The outside world no longer considers us the strongest university in Sakura Province, or even the best university in Tokyo. Above us, Shuchiin are the private Toyonosaki and the private Okunoki High School. Even places like Kokugo Ikusei are considered on par with us."

"I know that many people will list all kinds of data, such as average grades and acceptance rates to prestigious universities, to prove that we are the strongest university, but I have a simpler, more straightforward way that the outside world will never forget."

Asagiri glanced at the students below the stage. Although his tone was calm, his words were powerful, making the students sitting below even feel an inexplicable excitement.

"We will directly defeat all those high schools that think they are stronger than our Shuchi Academy, and prove it with an absolute crushing victory..."

"We, Xiuzhiyuan, are the undisputed 'strongest'."

Chapter 110: 107 Let Xiuzhiyuan become the strongest again

After hearing what Asagiri said, some students in the audience showed excitement, but most of them still looked noncommittal. After all, since its establishment, Shuchiyuan had never competed with any other colleges and universities. There was no need for Shuchiyuan to do so. After all, it was recognized as the strongest college, and many data such as the admission rate to prestigious universities and average scores were consistently ranked first.

Admittedly, those flyers at the school gate are an insult to Shuchi-in, but is it necessary to compete with those universities just because of the one-sided opinions of certain media outlets?

"Is necessary."

Asagiri seemed to have seen what most of the students were thinking and spoke again.

"Perhaps some people think that the flyers this morning are just a small group of people outside the school who are ignorant of our true strength and are looking down on us. However, it is indisputable that the number of freshmen who choose to enroll in Xiuzhi Academy after the top ten in the joint entrance exam has been declining at a precipitous rate. How many will there be next year? Three? Two? And what about the year after that? This is enough to prove that in the minds of many people, Xiuzhi Academy is no longer the strongest university. At the very least, they believe that the gap between Xiuzhi Academy and other universities is not so great that they have to enroll there. This is contempt."

"If one day, none of the top ten or even top twenty students in the joint entrance exam choose to enroll in Shuchi Academy, will Shuchi Academy still be the 'strongest'?"

Having said that, Asagiri paused for a moment before continuing.

"The school's reputation affects not only the current students, but also those who have already graduated, and those of us present here, will continue to be associated with the honor of Shuchi-in. Do you hope that when you tell others that you graduated from Shuchi-in, they will give you a blank look, followed by a final response like, 'Oh, so it's that top-ranked university in Tokyo? You went to a pretty good school,'"

"Being at the top is not bad, but is this enough for you?"

After hearing this, all the students present couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
