Why are all the heroines falling for me, the villain?

Li Zhu turned her head and glared at her, gesturing for her to be quiet, which made her laugh.

[Riki, your actions, your selflessness, and your indifference to fame and fortune have deeply moved us. I absolutely cannot let you be forgotten, so Hinata Kotone and I have decided to give you a surprise. Did you enjoy this morning's broadcast? —Shimazu He]

It's quite thoughtful to include a name, that's really nice.

Bullshit! So it was you who pulled the strings, you bastard! You betrayed me twice in such a short time, Shimazu Hei, you're really something else, you're the one who should be crawling on the ground!

Li Zhu stared at the back of his handsome head, took several deep breaths, and finally managed to suppress the impulsive thoughts in her heart.

[Li Zhu, I never expected you to be so brave despite looking so frail. I admire you. If you need a boyfriend, come find me, and I'll protect you!]

Li Zhu:? ? ?

This one is more heavyweight.

Seeing this, Li Zhu was too exhausted to continue reading. She didn't know what to say, and only felt a tightness in her anus, with goosebumps all over her body.

I feel uneasy if I don't read this note for a day, and I feel uneasy for a long time after reading it.

I've decided. When I get back, I'll change my signature to: I like high-quality human women!

Chapter Twenty-Six: News That Turned Everyone's Joy into Sorrow.

After class.

Hina-sensei didn't leave immediately. You see, she's one of the few good teachers who doesn't like to take up students' free time and doesn't extend class time.

It's not because Hina-sensei is lazy or in a hurry to leave work and doesn't care about the students' grades.

Rather, it stemmed from extreme confidence in her own abilities; she felt that she could teach her students well as long as she was within the allotted class time.

Although it sounds pretentious, she actually did it, which is really impressive. As a result, the Chinese language scores of the classes she taught improved dramatically and ranked among the top. She was almost always on the list of outstanding model teachers for each grade posted on the bulletin board.

She stayed behind not to study, but to announce something important.

"Ahem, students, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me. In order not to take up your class time, I have decided to talk to you about this after class. It is about the sports festival that will be held in a week."

"Great! It's the sports festival?!"

"I know that. Ouran High School's sports festival is a little different from the junior high school's..."

Although everyone is a freshman, there will always be a few students in the class who know the news in advance.

They excitedly shared the gossip they'd heard from their friends with those around them, and soon, a hushed discussion broke out among the crowd.

Whenever there's a large-scale school-wide event like this, students are always full of anticipation, because it means they can have fun for a few days without studying, showcase their talents in front of the whole school, stand out, and meet popular students from other classes, hoping for a chance encounter...

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing Hina-sensei's tactical cough, the classroom fell silent again, though most people looked excited.

"Our Ouran High School has three grades and fifteen classes. Ouran has always valued the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. Therefore, the holding of a major event like the Sports Festival, which involves the whole school, is especially important."

"You need to know that there is one more basic requirement for the Ouran High School Host Club Sports Festival that cannot be changed: everyone must participate. If this year is a traditional sports festival event, then everyone must participate in at least one event, with no upper limit."

Upon hearing this, some people below let out groans; these were students who didn't usually enjoy sports.

Hina-sensei ignored the noise and continued talking.

"The Ouran High School Board of Directors feels that the Sports Festival has been lacking in anything truly exciting for a long time."

"Therefore, the principal has high hopes for the student council this year's sports festival, and the student council will continue to be fully responsible for this sports festival. As freshmen, you are very lucky to be able to enjoy the new sports festival held by Ouran High School Student Council right from the start."

When the word "luck" was mentioned, Hina-sensei couldn't help but smile slightly.

"So you'd better be mentally prepared."

She placed her hands on the podium, looked around at the crowd, and emphasized her words slightly, as if there was some deeper meaning behind them.

"Any other questions?"

At this moment, no one dared to make a sound. The huge classroom was extremely quiet, and the sound of the wind turning the pages of the books on the students' desks could be clearly heard.

"If there's nothing else, students can go home now."

Then, picking up her things, she walked away in her high heels, leaving her classmates watching with longing expressions.

The teacher had just left.

"We're doomed, we're all going to die in this wave!"

A tall, thin boy wearing glasses started screaming. He was the "know-it-all of Class D" who knew the most about the Sports Festival, because his brother was a senior in the second year of high school and had participated in that "battle called the Sports Festival".

"Hey, why are you so pale? And what did you just say about everyone dying?"

Kyoko, whose seat was not far from him, noticed his ashen face and asked him curiously.

"Then I'll add some more to what your teacher already said."

"The sports festival has been a tradition of Ouran Academy for nearly fifty years, lasting five to seven days. The rules and regulations have never changed. However, I heard that starting from the junior high school a few years ago, someone boldly broke the long-standing tradition and brought something different to the stagnant sports festival."

"Unexpectedly, that innovation received a good response from the management. The board members were also very happy to see something interesting and innovative, so they began to support that person and encourage him to make more attempts."

"That person is now the president of our high school student council, Marie Kujo!"

When he mentioned this name, Xiaofu couldn't help but tremble. To him, this woman's name was like a taboo subject that could not be mentioned.

Xiao Fu's voice was quite loud, and since the students hadn't yet recovered from the silence, even Li Zhu, who was in the corner, could hear it clearly.

Kujo Makoto?!

This woman's name was all too familiar to him; it left a very deep impression on him. In this game, she was Li Zhu's nightmare.

What puzzled him even more was how Marie Kujo's role had changed? Wasn't she the student council vice president?

Where did the original student council president, Kamikawa Kyoko, go?

Could it be that their identities have been switched?

Li Zhu still remembers that the two of them were inseparable. They were not in a master-servant relationship, nor were they sisters, but their relationship was better than that of sisters, and it was not a superficial relationship like that of lovers.

The official description of their relationship is as follows: twin flowers, each other's confidantes.

But Li Zhu felt that terms like "twin flowers" or "confidantes" were inaccurate at all; it would be more appropriate to describe the relationship between the two female protagonists as "butcher's knife and butcher"...

"I don't quite understand. What's so scary about this? Isn't it a good thing that the sports festival is changing? Isn't it more energetic?" Kyoko tilted her head and asked, puzzled.

"No, no, no, although this famous president is incredibly capable, her personality is unpredictable. Rumor has it that she is very ambitious, pursues interesting things, and hates almost anything that is unchanging."

"Once the sports festival is designed by her, it will never be as conventional as you imagine. Sometimes, in order to pursue fun, the sports festival events will not be traditional sports events, but some strange and bizarre competition methods. Her purpose may be just to see the students laugh and cry."

"Sometimes, in pursuit of competitiveness, like last year, she turned the sports festival into an individual competition, directly linking it to the final exam grades. She stipulated that a minimum number of points were required to pass the final exam, and on top of that, she pursued the ultimate individual ranking, which ultimately affected the final evaluation results."

"In short, she played a dirty trick. The higher-ups had their fun, but we ordinary students below were really messed up by her," Xiao Fu said with a dejected face and a sob in his voice.

Last year, after the sports festival, his older brother staggered home, looking disheveled. He collapsed to the ground, spewing rotting sounds, and like a certain leader, stretched out his left hand to draw a period before going black out and falling into a deep sleep.

That scene left a deep impression on Suneo, casting a long shadow over his young mind towards the woman, Kujo Marie.

His brother is so damn pitiful.

"This does seem a bit excessive..."

Kyoko said weakly, "I thought the president was doing a good job just now, but now that Suneo said that, I feel a little uneasy."

A sense of despair permeated the entire D classroom, a stark contrast to the group of kids playing and fooling around in the corridor.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. I really envy them for not knowing what they're going to face next.

It's supposed to be a happy day, so why did I suddenly become so depressed on NetEase Cloud Music...?

The sports festival turned out terribly, but Li Zhu didn't seem to care. It wasn't that he had a good attitude, but rather that he was injured and couldn't engage in strenuous exercise.

When the time comes, choose the safest way: ask the teacher for leave, directly avoid contact with the student council, and avoid all the trouble and hassle.

How miserable these people are is none of my business.

I can only promise not to laugh out loud, hehe.

……

Li Zhu felt she should find out more about the other female leads when she had time.

It's not just to take precautions, but also to verify whether this intelligence deviates from the plot in my memory, so that I can make the next move.

Li Zhu had been focused on the little nobody, only thinking about how to solve the impending death ending. In addition, he felt that the game plot he knew from his memory was enough, so he did not spend extra time collecting information about Ouran High School.

As a result, the game's storyline became completely unrecognizable, which made Li Zhu feel uneasy. He was no longer sure if what he knew was correct.

Secondly, he hadn't heard anyone around him mention the student council. Its presence was so minimal to Li Zhu in the early stages that he gradually ignored it.

Besides, he already has a nobody and two other "time bombs" around him. Wouldn't it be suicide to get involved with other female leads at this time?

However, so far, all the female protagonists around Li Zhu are still under his control. He feels good about himself now because there is no sign that Hinata Kotone and Hanayama Kyoko's affection for him has increased, and he has not caused any other trouble after he took off his disguise. Ah, everything seems to be getting better.

Keep going! Don't get cocky or careless. As long as you continue to stick to the strategy you used to deal with the female lead, he believes he will be able to completely escape his misery and move towards a bright future!

……

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Some people are already dead...

hum-

It was the sound of the school's public address system being turned on.

The person who spoke was the same voice from this morning, a female voice devoid of any emotion.

Good afternoon, students.

Is it someone from the student council?!

In Class D, everyone was immersed in dejection, except for Riku, who didn't care about the new sports festival. But when she heard that familiar voice, she couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

"The Student Union will now broadcast an important announcement. Please listen carefully."

"In three days, the annual Ouran High School Sports Festival will be held. It is an important traditional event of our school, which has been held for nearly fifty years. Therefore, the school leaders attach great importance to the annual sports festival."

"This year, the principal has once again entrusted the student council with the organization of such an important event. On behalf of the Ouran High School Student Council, I assure you that this year's sports festival will be just as exciting as last year's, and all the events will definitely not disappoint you."

"It's the sports festival!!! Yay!!"

"Only three more days until the sports festival!!"

"That's awesome!!"

In the teaching building where the first-year students were located, all the classes except Class D cheered. Obviously, their class didn't have a teacher like Hina Arisu to prepare them mentally in advance.

So even if some classmates knew the inside story, they didn't have time to tell the rest of the class about the consequences of the student council organizing the sports festival, and what kind of hell awaited them three days later.

"It's true, it really was organized by the student council. They're still cheering next door, haha, they're all going to die!!"

Xiao Fu slumped in his chair, looking like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, with tears seemingly glistening in his eyes. Influenced by him, the dark cloud hanging over the students of Class D grew even darker.

Meanwhile, the teaching building housing the second and third-year students fell into a deathly silence upon hearing the news, their faces turning ashen, a stark contrast to the reactions of the freshmen. After the silence subsided, everyone logged onto their phones and entered a state of NetEase Cloud Music depression.

Some people are already dead, but they will be buried after the sports festival ends.

In Class 2D of the second year of high school, Xiaofu's older brother, like Xiaofu, was a young man wearing glasses. Although they were not in the same place, but at the same time, their eyes were glistening with tears, and they lay flat like salted fish, motionless.

The broadcast continued.

"This year's sports festival is different from the past. The student council will adopt a brand-new format, focusing on a core theme. All the events of the sports festival will be closely related to the theme, and I believe everyone will be very satisfied."

Damn, you guys don't even change your story? You told us the same thing last year.

"Please rest assured, the planning of the Sports Festival has undergone rigorous and strict discussions among the core members of the Student Council, and the final theme of this Sports Festival is - Absolute Equality."

Those who knew the inside story thought, "Isn't the internal team just you and Kujo Marie? Is it really that rigorous and strict after a discussion by only two core members?"

“We have been thinking about how absolute equality can be reflected in this event, and how to make everyone understand this concept through this sports festival.”

"The most direct manifestation of absolute equality in schools is that there are no senior-junior relationships or class constraints in the entire grade. You are all the same, and all that remains are trusted companions and competitive rivals."

"Everyone in each grade will be randomly assigned to one of five teams: red, yellow, white, blue, or green. After the teams are assigned, teams of the same color will be merged into one large group."

"Note that there is no senior-junior relationship or class relationship within the same group. Everyone is equal and a trustworthy teammate. Fight for your group and win honor for your group."

"However, since it's a competitive sports festival, we've come up with some small rules to motivate everyone."

"Here it comes, here it comes again, it's time for my favorite punishment segment, who can blame me for liking this?" Some strong and brave fighters started shouting, while some self-deprecating noobs also started yelling.

However, the two expressions convey completely different meanings. When the latter is shouted out, it sounds like a hopeless academic failure who knows he will definitely not do well on the exam, so his words are full of the flavor of giving up.

"This grouping sounds somewhat interesting. At least that guy's brain, which had been flooded with water, isn't as stupid as before."

Hinata Kotone's expression was somewhat amused; she seemed to have harbored a grudge against the student council president's "carefree" attitude for a long time.
