As originally agreed upon by him and Hirata, the remaining members of the two classes could look after each other. So, after selecting the eleven-person group, he had Ishizaki take the remaining members to find Hirata.
Ryuen also planned to compete for the first place, but unexpectedly, Ishizaki got into a conflict with the B class while he was just chatting with Katsuragi. At first, Ryuen thought that Ishizaki could resolve the dispute quickly, after all, he had entrusted Albert to Ishizaki. In this school, apart from that guy, there shouldn't be anyone who could make things difficult for Albert.
However, when he arrived at the scene and saw Koenji clashing with Ishizaki, he immediately felt relieved. Ishizaki maintained his restraint in the face of Koenji, whose strength was unknown, and did not rashly make a move that would give the other party a handle to use against him, which is perhaps commendable.
But his problem-solving skills are truly appalling.
"Longyuan, this isn't my fault. It's because this guy doesn't want to vote. If he doesn't vote, how are we supposed to..."
Didn't he say he wouldn't get involved?
"But...but voting is only a matter of agreeing or disagreeing, and school rules stipulate that all members of the group must agree..."
Ishizaki looked at Ryuen with some grievance, while Ryuen stood speechlessly with his hands on his hips, glaring at Ishizaki, his eyes glancing at Koenji, who seemed to be watching the show from the side.
"How many times have I taught you to be flexible! Do you even know what flexibility means? Since he said he wouldn't participate, that means he's abstaining. The school says that opinions must be unified, but since he has no opinion, he obviously doesn't count."
Upon hearing what Ryuen said, Ishizaki suddenly slapped his forehead.
"So that's how it can be done!!!"
Ryuen kicked Ishizaki in the butt, sending him flying a great distance, before turning to look at Koenji.
"I'm sorry, some of my men are stubborn. If possible, I hope you won't take it to heart."
Ryuen unexpectedly apologized to Koenji in a polite tone.
This left everyone around them dumbfounded.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder you're a man who can conquer an entire class by yourself. Your magnanimity is truly exceptional. Don't worry, Dragon Boy, I won't stoop to your level. But if I may be so bold, you should teach those baboons how to adapt to human life, otherwise... they might get slaughtered one day."
Ryuen remained remarkably calm in the face of Koenji's blatant threat.
"Thanks for reminding me. Come to think of it, you don't seem to be from this country, do you?..."
Many people were surprised to see that Ryuen and Koenji were able to chat together.
It's hard to imagine what kind of topics a troubled child and a "tyrant" could talk about.
Only Ayanokouji, who was calmly observing everything, showed a thoughtful expression. Hirata, seeing the worried look on Ayanokouji's face, couldn't help but lean closer.
"Ayanokouji-san, what are you thinking about? Sorry if I'm disturbing your thoughts..."
"It's nothing, I was just overthinking anyway. Hirata, do you think Koenji could be used as a weapon by Class B?"
Ayanokouji's problem is somewhat strange. Class B actually has quite a few weapons, and each one is more lethal than the last. This is the fundamental reason why Hirata and the others can tolerate Koenji. Anyway, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less of him. As long as Koenji doesn't cause them any trouble, it's okay to indulge him a little.
However, Hirata still understood the principle that many hands make light work.
"Do you want to get Koenji to take action? If Koenji helps us, I believe it's only a matter of time before we get into Class A, but... his personality doesn't seem like the kind of person who would take initiative."
Hirata sighed with some distress, but did not criticize Koenji. In his opinion, everyone has their own code of conduct. Some people just want to spend their high school years alone, while others just don't want to get involved in troublesome things. Perhaps you could say they are unsociable or not suited to the school environment.
But we absolutely cannot say that their behavior is wrong.
"What if we could create a scenario that forces Koenji to take things seriously?"
Ayanokouji's remarks gave Hirata a bad feeling.
"No one will..."
"Will not."
Before Hirata could even speak, Ayanokouji knew what he wanted to ask, so he preemptively answered.
"Then I'm relieved. If Koenji can take action 'voluntarily,' that would be wonderful."
Hirata smiled happily, emphasizing the word "voluntary," confident that Ayanokouji understood what he was saying.
However, Ayanokouji did not respond to this at all.
This made Hirata somewhat uneasy.
Just after the turmoil subsided, Kiriyama, accompanied by several trusted students, headed towards Koenji and Ryuen.
Ryuen glanced at Kiriyama and couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Looks like a troublesome guy has his eye on you."
"I'm so beautiful and dazzling, it's no wonder that someone would set their sights on me, isn't it?"
Despite the hostile intentions of Kiriyama, Koenji Temple remained defiant and unyielding.
"You must be Koenji-kun? Just as rumored..."
When Kiriyama arrived in front of Koenji, he immediately tried to take the initiative in the conversation.
"I didn't expect my legend to be circulating among the second-year students now. If you feel that I've stolen your thunder, then there's nothing I can do about it."
Upon hearing this, Long Yuan couldn't help but let out an impolite sneer.
"You really know how to brag."
"I'm just telling the truth."
The interruption by the two men rendered Kiriyama's probing attempt ineffective, leaving him no choice but to directly extend an invitation to Koenji.
"I've heard about your excellence, Kougenji-kun. How about you consider joining the student council? Katsuragi-kun seems to be busy with his studies lately and hasn't been seen much in the student council lately."
Kiriyama was the first to submit its offer.
Katsuragi is currently the head of the student council's disciplinary committee, a position with real power and a large number of nominally powerful subordinates. However, since Amane did not leave any rules after establishing the disciplinary department, Katsuragi did not know what to do for a while. In addition, he did not have Amane's appeal, so the department was abandoned. But in everyone's eyes, the disciplinary department is still a rather mysterious and powerful department. It is said that all those who are selected are very good at fighting.
Some jokingly refer to the Disciplinary Department as a concentration camp for the strong.
Kiriyama's willingness to offer such terms to Koenji clearly shows how much he values Koenji. However, he noticed that both Koenji and Ryuen were looking at him with idiotic eyes.
"I originally thought the new student council president would be quite capable, but now it seems... I overestimated you."
Koenji's remarks immediately angered Kiriyama's two henchmen.
"Kōenji! Is this how you talk to your seniors? President Kiriyama is giving you face by wanting to promote you. Otherwise, do you really think just anyone can join the student council?"
This remark made Koenji chuckle.
"Did I just hear something funny? Hahahaha, Dragon Boy, this guy actually said he'd give me face! But too bad, I'm not going to give you any face. Katsuragi Boy, could you come over here for a moment?"
Koenji shouted loudly at Katsuragi, who was not far away.
Katsuragi walked over here somewhat inexplicably. In his memory, apart from having some connection with Ryuen, he had no connection with anyone else, whether it was Koenji or the new student council president.
This was even the first time he had ever appeared in front of Kiriyama.
When Kiriyama took office, no one from the Disciplinary Committee came to congratulate him on his election as the new student council president.
This is why Kiriyama wanted to replace Katsuragi. Anyway, he couldn't control the Disciplinary Committee, so he wouldn't feel bad about sending him away. Moreover, due to the original regulations, the Disciplinary Committee Chairman had equal say with the Student Council President. However, he was subordinate to the Student Council but not under its jurisdiction. In other words, the person sent away would appear to be a department head, but in reality, he would be the leader of an independent violent group. Whether you can control him or not depends on your own abilities.
Kiriyama's move of getting something for nothing was brilliant, but he overlooked one thing.
That is……
Planning should be done in secret. Who would casually give away a student council minister position in public as a bargaining chip?
"What do you need me for?"
Katsuragi wasn't sure who had contacted him, so he was also a little confused for a moment.
Kiriyama, his face ashen, was about to turn and leave when Ryuen blocked his way.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Koenji deliberately repeated Kiriyama's words loudly in front of everyone.
"How pathetic, Katsuragi boy. Your position has become a bargaining chip for this guy. Is a student council position really that worthless?"
Koenji deliberately raised his voice, and for a moment even the homeroom teacher and school leaders looked over.
"This Kiriyama... is really not up to the task."
Chairwoman Fujiwara sighed. After Horikita Manabu and Nagumo resigned one after another, she, who was temporarily taking over, could only pick the best from among them, but she did not expect to promote such a worthless person.
After waiting for a long time without hearing any words of approval, Chairman Fujimori turned around and looked at another person in the room.
But they discovered that the other person's gaze had been fixed on that one person the entire time.
"If you want to see her, should I go and call her over? Marina, it's been almost ten years since you last saw her, hasn't it?"
"It was twelve years, six months, and fourteen days."
Marina gave a remarkably accurate number almost reflexively, which silenced President Fujii, who had only intended to make a joke.
She has children of her own; how could she not understand this feeling?
"Should I go and call her over?"
"No need, just watching her from a distance is fine. After all, the condition for my exchange with Mr. Bangdian was..."
Has Father become Mr. Bangdian again?
The change in address made Fujiwara hesitant to respond, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, a blush appeared on Marina's pale face, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a soft laugh.
Fujiwara hadn't seen Marina smile in a long time, and for a moment she was a little taken aback. Only then did she belatedly follow Marina's gaze to look at the field below.
Amane, who had just been teasing Ichinose, was being tickled as punishment by Ichinose. Looking at Amane, who was laughing so hard she was crying, Fujiwara could hardly believe that this was the hope of the Miyako family that her father had placed so much hope in.
She's no different from any other girl, is she?
"Seeing her smile so happily makes me content. I've been bothering you these past few days, Miss Rin. Thank you for the invitation. If there's nothing else, I plan to head back."
"Aren't you going to take another look?"
"I'm afraid if I keep looking, I won't be able to walk anymore."
Seeing that Marina was determined to leave, Fujiwara could only nod and agree to Marina's request.
Marina took one last, reluctant look at Amane through the window of the forest school before turning and quickly leaving.
Tianyin suddenly stopped smiling and looked in a certain direction.
Upon seeing Amane, Ichinose, who was playfully fighting with her, suddenly became expressionless, which startled her.
"Tianyin, what's wrong?"
Tianyin looked into the distance and finally shook her head. She had a feeling that there was something she cared about over there, but even if there was something she cared about, it was impossible for her to go and find out now. Besides, her intuition was really hard to explain. Although it was always accurate, it always caused some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Tianyin gave up the idea of going to find out. However, she also lost the mood to play around.
Seeing that Amane was a little down, Ichinose also put away his smile and sat down next to her.
"You can tell me if anything's wrong. Although I'm not as smart as you, Tianyin, I'm very good at comforting people!"
Ichinose even patted his chest to show his reliability.
However, Amane didn't know why she felt a little disappointed, and could only disappoint Ichinose's kindness.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some unhappy things from the past... What's going on with the boys? They're still arguing? I'm starving if they don't start serving dinner soon. Fanbo, wait here for me, I'll go check on what's happening over there."
"Whoever wants to be the head of the disciplinary committee can have it!"
Just as Tianyin was about to speak, she saw Ge Cheng turn and leave with a face full of anger.
To be honest, Katsuragi seems to have a mild personality and isn't very good at fighting, but that physique plus his bald head... Sorry, it's said that Katsuragi has alopecia areata, so it doesn't seem very appropriate to joke about that, but every time Amane sees that bald head, she always thinks...
In short, if a bald, burly man yells at you, anyone would instinctively feel a bit intimidated.
However, despite his fierce appearance, Katsuragi is a rare conservative and moderate in both personality and conduct.
On the contrary, the delicate Sakayanagi is a true advocate of war, and she even puts it into practice. Amane can prove this point. Last time, when she saw that Sakayanagi's white stockings were a bit ripped, Amane kindly helped her pull them, which resulted in one of Sakayanagi's white stockings being ruined on the spot. Sakayanagi was so angry that she bit her, and the tooth mark didn't fade for three days. Amane almost had to get vaccinated as a precaution.
In short, Arisu is a super fierce fighter, which doesn't quite match her cute appearance.
Tenon took a few more steps forward, and there was a man named Kiriyama, whose face was almost as purple as an eggplant, staring at Koenji with a face full of shame and indignation.
He probably never expected that Koenji would directly expose his deal to the person involved. Feeling utterly humiliated, he wanted nothing more than to tear Koenji apart.
However, Koenji seemed completely oblivious to Kiriyama's anger, and even took out a small mirror to fix his hair, which almost made Kiriyama so angry that he had a stroke.
Fortunately, he wasn't unprepared to meet with Koenji. Over the years, he had collected a lot of evidence of Koenji bribing second-year students for their personal points, which he originally intended to use to warn Koenji. But now he couldn't care less about that.
"Does everyone want to know why Koenji is indifferent to the position of student council president?"
Since I've been exposed, I might as well just give up and go all out.
Gossip has always been the most intriguing thing. Everyone was originally criticizing Kiriyama, but his words diverted their attention.
"Is that even a question? Their family is a huge conglomerate, so why would they be interested in the student council president of a small, run-down school?"
A boy who knew about Koenji's family background revealed the reason with a cold smile.
"That's right. Koenji is indeed from a very wealthy family, but the reason he looks down on the student council is not because of that. Rather, it's because Koenji could have graduated from Class A from the very beginning."
