Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"I'm so sorry to bother you."

"Please don't say that. It's probably just an unexpected situation like this that brought us together with Ichinose. Besides, today is the last day of summer vacation, so of course we have to have fun. If that's the case, then of course the more people there are, the more fun it will be."

"Besides, it's rare to get along well with students from other classes in this school."

Kushida showed an angelic smile on her face. With just such a simple action, the men around who had been stealing glances at her fell into sweet indulgence. In addition, it seemed that many people had made up their minds to confess their love later.

"I will cherish similar opportunities and hope to have a great time." Shibata also showed a sunny smile.

The team also gathered together to form a large team of fourteen people.

In fact, I could see that there were many other students from Class A and D around the pool, but they didn't seem to have any intention of getting together with Ichinose.

"Ike, it's almost time. If we keep being depressed like this, we won't have much time to play." Kushida patted the arms of Sudo and the other two, trying to wake them up. In fact, it was this action that made them wake up instantly.

"Haha, actually we are all fine. I just didn't wake up this morning for a while. Now I am completely fine... Come to think of it, there seems to be a lot of noise here just now..."

After Sudo's reminder, Ichinose and the others focused their attention on the fierce volleyball match going on in the back. Water splashed in the center of the commotion, and at this time, Vice President Nanyun flew into the air with a ball, and then made a fierce smash.

Judging from the score, Senior Nanyun's camp has a slight advantage.

"Wow, that guy is really good." Sudo expressed his admiration upon seeing such athletic ability, and most people nodded in agreement with Vice President Nanyun's superb level.

Since there is praise, there is no lack of corresponding bad words.

"Damn, that kind of guy is not only handsome, but also has such good motor skills... I hate people who are born winners in life the most."

I don’t really understand this kind of jealousy, but when we say bad things, it’s mostly out of helplessness towards ourselves.

"It seems to be quite lively. He almost dominates the scene alone."

Horikita folded his arms and watched the game in front of him quietly. At this time, Kushida-san also gave the answer.

"That person is Nanyun-senpai from Class 2A. He is very popular among the girls."

"That guy really took advantage of this opportunity and did whatever he wanted among the girls. It's really infuriating..." Chi complained quietly in the shadow of the lifeguard chair, but no one around paid any attention to him.

Ichinose also added some information about Nagumo-senpai's identity after Kushida-san pointed out his name.

"He is the current vice president of the student union and is said to be the student union president next year. He is very capable in all aspects."

"As expected of the vice president, every time he makes a move or performs actively, loud cheers can be heard from outside the stadium."

"He's very popular among the girls, but I didn't know him until now, and Ayanokouji-san doesn't know him either. I do feel that he has extraordinary athletic ability, but judging from his popularity, I don't think he's that good. The student council president should be overwhelmingly outstanding in this regard."

Horikita expressed her thoughts frankly and praised her brother's ability. If she could really act frankly, President Horikita might have a very cute sister.

Ichinose did not refute this.

"Hmm~ The student council president is pretty awesome. After all, I've heard that even in the history of this school, the current student council president is the best... Come to think of it, he seems to have the same last name as you."

“…It seems so.”

"But, according to rumors, Vice President Nagumo is not inferior to the student council president in terms of strength. In fact, during the student council election last year, President Horikita and Vice President Nagumo competed for the position of student council president. Vice President Nagumo was still a first-year student at the time."

"...You are really familiar with the situation of the student union."

"Since I'm in the student council, I'll know this part anyway."

"...You're in the student council?"

When Horikita heard Ichinose say that, she couldn't hide her surprise.

“Well, I passed it luckily.” Ichinose smiled and scratched his face.

"So that means you're not participating in other club activities... Although I heard about the conditions for the student union interview at the club briefing, but... what are they actually like?"

"Hmm~ This school's system is a little special."

"If you're not affiliated with a club, you can get in by passing the student union interview between April and the end of June, or in October. To be honest, I failed the first time, but since I can take the exam several times, I kept going."

"At first, the student council president was reluctant to agree. I was originally thinking whether I could get the approval of Vice President Nanyun, but during an interview, his attitude towards me suddenly improved. In the end, he even arranged for me to work under Secretary Tachibana."

"I heard from Tachibana-senpai that President Horikita said this year's first-year students are terrible. If it were previous years, the student council would have at least two or three first-year students, but this year it seems that there is only me, so I want to fight for it. After all, President Horikita might step down in October."

Horikita's brother is really doing it, but is this kind of guidance really beneficial to me?

In other words, was it really the right choice to let Ichinose join the student council?

Such things remain to be considered.

"..."

No, even if Chairman Horikita didn't agree, Vice Chairman Nagumo would probably take action.

Unless Ichinose loses interest in the student council, she will be drawn into the vortex anyway.

"Although I was approved by President Horikita to join the student council, I think my goal must still be Vice President Nagumo. My beginnings are similar to those of the vice president, and he has been talking to me for some time."

"All the previous student council presidents of this school have been from Class A from the beginning, but Nagumo-senpai and I both started from Class B. Before I knew it, he was even confirmed to be elected as the next student council president. So, after Nagumo-senpai, I will be the student council president - just kidding."

"..."

It seems that Ichinose has already shown her determination, so no matter how difficult the road ahead is, she will try to move forward, even though her future will be full of thorns...

After listening to Ichinose's speech, everyone fell silent, watching the elegant figures of both sides in the game, until Vice President Nagumo's camp won the game with an overwhelming advantage.

As soon as Vice President Nanyun stepped onto the shore, some of the girls around him flocked to him, which was enviable. Judging from his current performance, he seemed to be completely worthy of the title of "perfect student", and there was a reason why he was so popular.

After seeing the current atmosphere, Ichinose suddenly suggested.

"Hey, how about we play volleyball in the pool? There are six of us, including Shibata and the others. There are seven of us on your side, so you can take turns."

"It's rare for us to come to the swimming pool together during the summer vacation."

Oh no, this is going to be bad!

In response to Ichinose's proposal, Ike was the first to respond.

"I want to play, I want to play! I also want to attract girls' eager gazes like Nanyun-senpai!"

This statement is too unrealistic.

I hope someone can speak up and stop this activity.

Under my expectation, the introverted Sakura rejected the proposal. However, it can still form a six-on-six volleyball match. Although Horikita was not interested in this volleyball match and did not want to participate, Ichinose used provocation during the process, and in the end she accepted it.

"Then I'll go and help apply for the use of the venue."

"Thank you for your help, Ayanokouji-san."

In order to avoid the next round of speeches on cooperation issues, Ayanokouji chose to take the initiative to help, so he separated from the group and came close to the lifeguard chair.

“Please ask about the venue application…”

Before he could finish his words, Ayanokouji stopped and looked at my face carefully for a long time, then looked at the team on the other side, and then focused his attention on me again.

"..."

"Why are you here?"

"......I also want to understand this, but it seems that I can be understood as the 'lucky one' who was selected..."

"...A special exam for seniors?"

"I guess so. I seem to have been randomly dragged into this..."

"...Ahem, is the application for the venue done here?"

"Yes, please register the borrower's name on it."

"I understand."

Ah, it's really helpful that you understand.

Chapter 145 Accidents often occur due to unprofessionalism

A water volleyball game.

This kind of competition held in the water park would probably not be considered a big deal in other schools, and would not even attract the attention of classes. It could be considered an entertainment activity at best, but it has a different meaning in this school.

Because of the special system of this school, any game between class members can be regarded as a microcosm of competition between classes. Volleyball games happen to reflect which class is more united and which class has better athletic ability.......

This is also why the competition was born.

For me, the management process and results of this volleyball match will probably only become an information collection battle to observe the individual abilities of other classes. I did not participate in the volleyball match, but as a spectator, I was able to retain my own strength while also obtaining data on the physical abilities of the members of Class D.

In addition, Ichinose even made a bet with the students of Class D in order to stir up the competition.

——The loser should provide a free lunch for the winner.

The most luxurious lunch set in the school cafeteria is worth nearly 2,000 points, which means the total price will be close to 11,000 points. Considering the unknown appetite of Class D and the high probability that today's lunch will be solved in the swimming pool, this can only be a reference base.

This isn't cheap, but it's a small price to pay when you consider the total number of panels.

Well, that's what she said, but for Ichinose, she probably just wants to have fun.

In terms of unexpected events during the competition, she has no rejection of students from other classes, and even if they need help, she will not hesitate to help. This is why Ichinose's popularity is so prominent among first-year students.

Before the venue was cleared, both sides were discussing tactics, and at that moment, Chairman Horikita appeared in my field of vision. He glanced in Horikita's direction without paying attention, and then walked straight towards the lifeguard chair.

"...Thank you for your hard work. Is the line inspection phase finished?"

"Let's call it a day. My job is not to take care of these chores, but the originally scheduled personnel were disturbed, and the farce only ended just now."

"It sounds complicated... If that's the case, do you want me to get up and let you rest on the lifeguard chair for a while?"

"Except for lunch breaks and emergency times, I will not take over your duties."

"I don't mean anything else. My previous remarks were also out of concern for your personal situation... But it was also a bit selfish. I don't like this kind of attention-grabbing work."

"Put aside your little thoughts. Besides, the swimmers won't pay special attention to you."

"Even though I know this clearly, I still feel in my soul that there are many eyes staring at me in the dark..."

"Then learn to adapt."

Ah, peaceful conversation does require special skills.

From a practical perspective, I pushed the topic to a dead end because I knew President Horikita's personality and how he would react.

At the end of the day, I personally am not very good at maintaining a conversation.

Even if you read a lot of books and analyze the psychological activities of various types of people, it still seems difficult to put it into practice.

"The lifeguards at the swimming pool need to observe the swimmers and the situation in the pool at all times... That being said, there is still a lot of free time..." I pretended to be complaining, and then tilted my head towards President Horikita, "If President Horikita doesn't mind, can I ask you a few questions?"

"If you have too many topics, I will choose to refuse. But if you want to pay for it by joining the student union, then you can ask as many questions as you want."

"Don't worry, what I asked was not a serious question. At most, it can only be regarded as a casual chat after dinner."

"That's really a shame."

President Horikita sighed without any hint of retention.

"Senior, you should still remember the fight that happened earlier, right?"

"...If you mean the dispute between Class D and Class C among the first-year students, I remember...at this time, I have no right to refute even if I raise this matter."

"I'm not dissatisfied with the outcome of that incident, I just brought it up. Because of that incident, I got to know a student named Horikita Suzune in Class D. Your last name is also Horikita. Can I ask if she is your sister?"

I said this and pointed at Horikita Suzune who was not far away.

"It's my sister, for sure."

"...He admitted it without hesitation."

"She is a third-year student in Class A and the president of the student council, but she has a sister in Class D. It would be embarrassing to tell other students about this, but I would try my best to hide it if possible. She is not something I can be proud of talking about."

"...Then why did you speak so bluntly to me?"

"Because there's no point in lying to someone who knows the truth. 'First-year student Horikita Suzune is the student council president's sister', you already knew this, didn't you? Earlier, you also sent the video of me hitting her anonymously to my account to threaten me, have you forgotten this?"

"…Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

"You don't admit it?" President Horikita paused as he looked at Ayanokouji and the others who were discussing tactics not far away. "But it doesn't matter. After all, such a number is nothing to me."

"…Is it possible that it was a 'criminal officer' considering that was the highest value that intelligence could achieve?"

"That's true. If you ask for more, I might pay you 'special attention' at that time."

"Please don't label me as a 'criminal'. I feel offended."

It seemed that no matter what I said, President Horikita would think that I was the one who did it, so he just shrugged his shoulders and turned his eyes to the other side.
