Shinomiya Kaguya narrowed her eyes slightly, with determination in her red eyes. She looked straight into Asagiri's eyes and spoke word by word.
"I will win."
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of high heels tapping the ground, Ashikaga Miwa, wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, slowly walked into the classroom.
She glanced at Asagiri and Shinomiya Kaguya in the corner of the classroom, and didn't say much, just said lightly.
"Utsunomiya-san, Shinomiya-san, please return to your seats..."
When she was halfway through her speech, Ashikaga Miwa noticed that behind the two people, there was a small head wearing a white beret, and she added a sentence.
"Oh, and Iwanaga-san, stop hiding there and go back to your seats."
Kotoko Iwanaga rolled her eyes and thought to herself that she wasn't hiding on purpose, it was just that those two guys were too tall and completely blocked her view, okay?
There were clearly three people standing together, but she didn't have any role at all, not even a shot of her face showing.
At this moment, Iwanaga Kotoko finally understood how Kato Megumi felt in her daily life.
"Everyone knows that the exam is about to start."
After the classroom quieted down, Ashikaga Miwa glanced at the students below and spoke slowly.
"This exam is different for Class A than for other classes. I won't be the invigilator, so I'm going to tell you a few things before the exam even starts."
"Cheating is of course not allowed. There are two real-time cameras in the front and back of the classroom, and there will be a dedicated person to monitor it. There will also be two invigilators.
"There are three exams in total: liberal arts, science, and a foreign language. They will all be held today and end at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Having said that, Ashikaga Miwa paused for a moment, first glanced at Shinomiya Kaguya, then turned to Asagiri who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, and spoke in a calm tone.
"I only have one request for you, and that is to be the top scorer in the grade in terms of average score. As for who will take the top spot in individual scores... As your homeroom teacher, I'm also looking forward to it."
............
Half an hour later, in the meeting hall of the board of directors of the private Shuchiin Academy.
Sitting at the head of the long table was a middle-aged man with a bald head, a body that was neither fat nor thin, and a somewhat wretched appearance. Although he had a smile on his face, his expression revealed arrogance. He looked at Ashikaga Miwa who was sitting on his left and sneered.
"Ms. Ashikaga... Oh no, Mr. Ashikaga, I'm surprised you're here to attend the board meeting. I thought you'd realized your own abilities and knew you weren't capable of shouldering the responsibilities of a board member, so you were focused on teaching Class A."
"hehe."
Ashikaga Miwa raised her hand and pushed her glasses, as if she didn't take Shinomiya Huangguang seriously at all. She didn't even look at him, but just said lightly.
"After this spring exam, you'll realize how foolish your words were. If I remember correctly, Kaguya Shinomiya from my class is your sister, right? If she loses to Utsunomiya, will you still be able to maintain this expression?"
"Oh? So this is your goal? You want to use Kaguya's failure to threaten my right to speak? You are too naive. She is just a..."
Shinomiya Huangguang was halfway through his speech when he suddenly realized that in the presence of so many board members, saying that Shinomiya Kaguya was just an illegitimate daughter and could not be considered a member of the Shinomiya family at all was a bit like exposing his own family's dirty laundry. After all, to put it bluntly, the illegitimate daughter... in the final analysis, wasn't it a mistake made because his father, the current head of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Yan'an, had developed real feelings for a girl in a nightclub?
Thinking of this, Sigong Huangguang changed the subject.
"Even if she loses, it only proves that she is unworthy of the Shinomiya name."
"Really?"
Ashikaga Miwa made no secret of her dislike for Shinomiya Huangguang, and all the board members present could see it. And because Ashikaga Miwa was from a true samurai aristocratic family, she was one of the few people who dared to openly embarrass Shinomiya Huangguang.
"Although I hate you, Kaguya is different from you. She is a truly outstanding student. If she is not worthy of the Shinomiya name..."
Ashikaga Miwa deliberately did not finish her words, but just picked up the coffee cup in front of her and took a sip, but the board members present were not stupid and could guess what she wanted to express.
Shinomiya Kaguya is very good. She is the national kyudo champion, her performance ranks among the best, and her performance in every aspect is impeccable.
As the eldest son of the Shigong family, Shigong Huangguang...
Putting aside his identity as the eldest son of the Shinomiya family, his personal abilities are very questionable.
His thoughts are feudal and decadent, and his attitude is arrogant.
The only thing that can be considered an advantage is that he is good at power struggles and intrigues. However, even this talent is only displayed by Sigong Huang Guang who uses his identity as the eldest son of the Sigong family to gain an advantage.
After all, the Shinomiya family is a business consortium, not some aristocracy like those in ancient palace dramas.
Can a person who focuses on internal fighting really take on the responsibilities of being the head coach of the Shinomiya family?
"In the final analysis..."
Ashikaga Miwa put down her coffee cup, looked at Shinomiya Huangguang, who was sitting in the first seat and whose expression had become somewhat ugly, and spoke slowly.
"You just don't want to admit that Kaguya, as an illegitimate daughter, is more capable than you, the eldest son, and more worthy of the name 'Shinomiya', right?"
Upon hearing this, Sigong Huangguang's expression became even uglier.
"You guy..."
"What, you're not convinced?"
"Humph."
Shinomiya Huangguang calmed himself down, looked at the calm Ashikaga Miwa, and spoke softly and sarcastically.
"As the heir of a noble samurai family, you pinned your hopes on a mediocre student. Ashikaga, you are truly becoming more and more degenerate..."
"Are you stupid?"
Ashikaga Miwa directly interrupted Shinomiya Huangguang's words and asked back with a sneer.
"Have you forgotten how the era of the samurai shogunate began? The capable are given the position. Do you really think our Ashikaga samurai are those corrupt nobles? Oh, no, I forgot..."
Ashikaga Miwa's last words completely broke through Shinomiya Huangguang's defense.
"You're always so arrogant, but actually... you're not even a noble. Perhaps it's because you're so aware of this that you keep putting on airs and emphasizing the name 'Shinomiya'. It's truly laughable."
"Humph, after being a teacher for a few days, you've become quite sharp-tongued."
Facing Ashikaga Miwa's ridicule, Shinomiya Huangguang's face had turned gloomy. He just looked at the screen hanging in the meeting room of the board of directors, which was broadcasting the scenes inside the first-grade Class A classroom, and spoke in a deep voice.
"I hope you can still be this confident after the exam."
"That's natural."
Ashikaga Miwa's expression was very calm, her eyes from behind her glasses were fixed on the big screen, her face was relaxed, Asagiri, who was answering questions quickly, raised her hand to adjust her glasses and spoke softly.
"Utsunomiya Asagiri is the most outstanding student I have ever met and the one who best aligns with my philosophy."
"I put everything on him."
"Through him...I will completely change the private Shuchiin Academy."
089 Team's first gathering
After school that day, in the classroom of Grade 1 Class B.
"Hmm~ The exam is finally over. I'm so exhausted~"
Chika Fujiwara stretched lazily, then turned to look at Asuna Yuuki who was sitting behind her and asked with a smile.
"How about it, Asuna, are you confident that you can get good results this time?"
"Hmm... not sure."
Yuuki Asuna smiled and said nothing.
"Although I feel the test paper is quite simple, this is Shuchiin after all. Maybe everyone thinks the test paper is easy. I don't know what place I can rank."
"Eh? Easy?"
Fujiwara Chika was stunned for a moment, then showed envy on her face.
"I talked to everyone during lunch break, and they all thought this exam was quite difficult, but you actually thought it was easy... So Asuna, you're actually a top student? Wow, you're betraying me!"
Seeing Fujiwara Chika making an exaggerated expression of grief, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help laughing.
"There's no such thing as betrayal... By the way, Chika, aren't you a Jungyuan student? You should have good grades, right?"
"Alas, Pure Academy is Pure Academy, but it has nothing to do with grades and personal ability."
Fujiwara Chika sighed slightly and explained patiently.
"Ultimately, the so-called pure and mixed academies actually refer to the differences in family backgrounds between students. For people like Kaguya and I, well... I'm a little embarrassed to say it myself, but to put it bluntly, those who are considered rich and powerful in the eyes of ordinary people have all been studying at Shuchi Academy since childhood."
"Those who enrolled mid-term at the mixed-school academy are generally divided into two types. One type is those who were admitted to the Shuchi Academy as an exception because of their exceptional academic performance or special talents, despite being from a 'commoner' background."
"The second type is those who paid a large sponsorship fee to the school and obtained admission through financial means. A considerable number of pure academy students consider these mixed-academy students to be so-called nouveau riche and feel that they are not worthy of attending Shuchi Academy at all."
"The idea of pure and mixed colleges is actually just a chain of contempt based on this point of view. In this regard, I agree with your classmate Utsunomiya. I think this statement and concept is childish and arrogant, and should have been eradicated long ago."
At first, Yuuki Asuna listened very carefully, but when she heard the last sentence, she looked shy.
"What do you mean by my Utsunomiya-san..."
"Hmm? Isn't that your Utsunomiya-san?"
Fujiwara Chika tilted her head, showing a simple and sweet smile, and said something shocking.
"Then can I go ask Utsunomiya-san for his contact information? I quite like guys with aggressive auras like him~"
"you dare!"
"Look, you're getting anxious."
Fujiwara Chika made a cute face, looking like she had seen through everything, and teased.
"You're so anxious, it's obvious that you're possessive. When you feel possessive of someone, that's what can be called love!"
Yuuki Asuna sighed slightly and smiled helplessly.
"Love Detective is at it again, right?"
"Of course~"
Fujiwara Chika smiled at first, then said thoughtfully.
"But... have you heard? Your Utsunomiya-san and my Kaguya seem to be competing for first place in the grade this exam~ The results won't be out until tomorrow. Who do you think will win?"
Before Yuuki Asuna could answer, a girl's slightly jealous voice sounded beside her.
"Hmph, what do you mean by her Utsunomiya-san? Are you two Pokémon Trainers who have a challenge to a Duel?"
Chika Fujiwara raised her head and saw Kotoko Iwanaga, wearing a white beret and holding a cane, staring at her angrily, and Asagiri standing next to her.
"Oh, Iwanaga-san."
Fujiwara Chika first greeted with a smile, then stood up. Before leaving, she leaned close to Yuuki Asuna's ear and encouraged her in a low voice.
"Come on! As your friend, I believe you can defeat this rich loli. A mere 5 billion is nothing compared to your charm. Fighting!"
After Fujiwara Chika left, Yuuki Asuna looked at Iwanaga Kotoko, who was obviously jealous. For some reason, the feeling of guilt and sin emerged in her heart again, and even her tone became lower.
"Qinzi..."
"Come on this."
Kotoko Iwanaga interrupted Asuna Yuuki's words directly, then snorted lightly and raised her chin.
"Hmph, let's go get something to eat before we go home. You guys didn't even take me with you when you went shopping last time. That's really too much. You have to treat me to a meal."
Seeing that although Iwanaga Kotoko had a jealous and dissatisfied expression on her face, her attitude towards her remained the same, Yuuki Asuna breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although she had known her for a short time, they were companions who had truly experienced life and death together.
"bring you?"
Hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's words, Asagiri beside her chuckled and teased.
"If Asuna and I take you out, it will be like young parents taking their daughter out shopping, right?"
Upon hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko retorted angrily.
"You guys are too tall. I'm a normal size!"
"Ah."
Asagiri nodded, seemingly agreeing with Iwanaga Kotoko's opinion, and added lightly.
"That's what Iwanaga Kotoko-san, who is 1.5 meters tall with shoes on, said."
"Is this a note from some book? You just dislike my height, don't you?!"
Iwanaga Kotoko stamped her feet in anger, and then said jealously.
