The senior was startled, but out of respect for his seniority, he stiffened his neck and said, "Isn't this perfectly normal? As the team leader, I can delegate tasks to others. Besides, I've already completed many tasks, so the remaining ones are truly too difficult to handle..."

"Difficult? Then don't do it!"

Upon hearing this, Matsueda Azusa overturned the table, and the documents piled on the table suddenly fell down. Most of them fell heavily on the senior student, and the rest flew everywhere.

The senior was completely stunned by this sudden move. He had never thought that he would be treated like this by a junior.

"Team leader? You're a complete jerk. You don't care about other people being late, leaving early, or skipping work. You have your own duties to fulfill, but you just dump all the tasks on your juniors. What the hell are you doing?"

Without hesitation, Matsueda Azusa gave him the middle finger right up close, his mouth full of foul language and pure enjoyment. "If you're capable, why don't you go and bring back those idiots who skipped work? If you follow the original plan, how many missions can you accomplish? And why would you stay here until this point? You can't even distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions and issues, and all you know is to keep exploiting the younger generation. It's because of idiots like you that society is getting worse and worse."

He held up two fingers: "I'll give you two choices. First, go and take back the tasks you assigned. If you're capable, do them all by yourself. Second, go and catch those people from your team who skipped work and have them share your tasks."

The junior students standing by let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but cheer in their hearts. Some even clapped their hands loudly for Matsueda Azusa.

The senior student instinctively wanted to nod in agreement upon hearing this, but then realized his own cowardice. Feeling the disgust and mocking gazes of the younger students, he suddenly became angry and humiliated. "The chairman and the student union didn't care about me doing this. They tacitly allowed this! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to point fingers at me and give me orders?"

"Just because I'm Matsueda Azusa, the head of the Supervisory Department! I'll take care of things the Student Council doesn't care about, and I'll give orders that Yukinoshita can't. If you think there's a problem, wait for President Torarahara to come. I'll have her erase the prefix "Supervision Department" from my name and just call it the Supervisory Department. They can take care of whatever they want, is there a problem?"

Matsueda Azusa threatened coldly, "Then we'll be in charge of more than just this little thing. All the students at Sobu High will know that we became the Supervisory Committee because of your stupid remarks. When they do something and we punish them, you won't be able to escape their blame and disgust. Do you want to be the most hated person in the school? Do you want to be the target of bullying? If you have such a habit, I have no objection."

"no, do not want!"

The senior finally realized that Songzhi Zi was not someone he could handle. Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, and his whole body was covered in sweat. He begged for mercy: "I... I will do it! I will do it! I will call back those who skipped class!"

Songzhi Zi raised an eyebrow, "Then why don't you go?"

The senior student felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly struggled to get up from his seat and crawled out of the meeting room.

Songzhi Zi glanced around and said, "There should be more than one team leader, right? What do the others want, sitting in their seats as calm as a rock? Do you want me to invite you one by one? I have the time, but can you afford it?"

"Fuck!"

In an instant, there was a series of teeth-grinding sounds of chairs rubbing against the ground. Several frightened students hurriedly stood up, not daring to say a word, and staggered out the door following the senior.

Finally, Matsueda Azusa returned to the front and center of the conference room. Yukinoshita Haruno originally thought that he was going to continue to cause trouble for her, but she didn't expect that Matsueda Azusa would not deal with her first.

Matsueda Azusa propped up the table with one hand, leaning down to look at Yukinoshita Yukino, who was biting her lower lip and looking a little dazed. "And you, Chairman. In this situation, the best thing you should do is not to sit here alone and try to complete a task for more than a dozen people, right? You should immediately kick this troublemaker out and call back those idiots who skipped work."

"If you can't handle her yourself, can't you ask the student union? If the student union doesn't do anything, can't you ask the teachers? If the teachers are hesitant, then ask me. If I can't handle this guy either, then go home and ask your parents... In short, you have to find a way to deal with this guy, right? Instead of sitting here looking helpless!"

143

Chapter 143 Yukinoshita didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

Faced with Matsueda Azusa's reprimand, Yukinoshita Yukino was speechless.

Perhaps due to long periods of overwork and lack of rest, she was in a state of extreme fatigue and trance, barely holding on by a single breath. Yukinoshita Yukino, who usually appeared extremely strong and confident, now seemed somewhat weak.

She raised her eyes to look at Songzhi Zi, then quickly lowered her gaze and whispered softly: "Sorry, it's my mistake."

Yukinoshita Yukino apologized in such a soft and tender manner, which was a rare sight seen only once in a thousand years. But unfortunately, Matsueda Azusa would not soften his heart and let her go, because he was the emperor without blood or tears.

"First of all, I won't accept your apology until you correct the mistakes you made. Secondly, I'm not the one you should apologize to the most, right?"

Matsueda Azusa said coldly, "You're only apologizing to me because I came here and caused a scene. What about the others who suffered because of your inaction? Why didn't you solve this problem before I came, and why didn't you even think about apologizing to them? Yukinoshita-san, are you also a bully who only cares about the weak and fears the strong?"

Although Yukinoshita Yukino was not the root cause of all these problems, as the chairman, she failed to curb the momentum of the problems, and this is the responsibility she should bear.

Yukinoshita Haruno is the source of all evil, and Yukinoshita Yukino's inaction and indulgence have only fueled her arrogance.

Once the executive committee members, bewitched by Yukinoshita Haruno, realize that absences are okay, their attendance rate will continue to decline rapidly. At the same time, others who originally had no intention of absenting themselves will also join in this situation.

There's a theory called the Broken Windows Effect. Ultimately, humans are self-indulgent creatures.

Furthermore, it's obvious that not every member of the anniversary committee actively participates. However, under normal circumstances, while they participate reluctantly, they understand that everyone around them is working hard, and the pangs of conscience and the influence of the atmosphere play a role, so they will still do their best to get the job done.

However, once this common understanding, or any force preventing a decline in motivation, is removed, the group will naturally fall apart in a blink of an eye.

It's easier to find reasons to take the easy way out than to find reasons to work hard.

At the same time, as the chairman, Yukinoshita Yukino's attitude was not only not to stop it, but to work harder to take on the tasks that should have belonged to them... This behavior would of course make those people feel comfortable and at ease skipping work.

As for those freshmen and some sophomores, don't they want to slack off? They can't! When the seniors slack off, the remaining tasks will be slung over to this "lower class" to shoulder.

Logically speaking, in this situation, a popular figure like Yumiko Miura is actually "qualified" to slip away, but she is not as anthropomorphic as others now.

All I can say is that the current Executive Committee has completely become an extremely deformed den of evil.

Yukinoshita Yukino has been working on this for many years but still hasn't figured it out completely. Maybe Yukinoshita Haruno has a better idea, but it's obvious that this guy is a pure genius.

"Since you can't manage it, let me help you manage it. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

After saying this to Yukinoshita Yukino, Matsueda Azusa turned his gaze back to Yukinoshita Haruno. The punch just now was just an appetizer, and this matter was far from over.

Although the other people he had just scolded did do something wrong, all of this was ultimately caused by the birth of Yukinoshita Haruno.

The pain on Yukinoshita Haruno's face finally subsided, and in her blurry vision she saw Matsueda Azusa looking at her again.

"For someone who only causes trouble for others, isn't it time for him to get out of here?"

Matsueda Azusa walked around the table in front of him and placed his hand on the chair where Yukinoshita Haruno was sitting. "Is this where you should sit?"

Yukinoshita Haruno stared at Matsueda Azusa, the fist marks on her face clearly visible, but she managed to maintain her composure. Instead, she responded with her usual tact: "Matsueda, I understand you don't know the inside story. But let me tell you, I'm the director of an off-campus group, so my participation in the executive committee's activities is within the rules and has the permission of the student union and faculty. But what about you? What qualifications and authority do you have to kick me out?"

Matsueda Azusa had anticipated this situation. After all, Yukinoshita Haruno wouldn't do something like this without any preparation. He answered frankly, "I really don't have that authority, so I asked Hikigaya to call the student council and teachers over from the beginning."

Yukinoshita Haruno pressed on: "Aren't you worried that the student council and teachers are all my people? The Yukinoshita family donated a building to Sobu High School. What do you think they will do to me?"

"First of all, if they were all your people, you wouldn't have had to find an excuse to get rid of the student union in the first place."

As Matsueda Azusa answered, she dragged the chair she was holding onto with all her strength. Yukinoshita Haruno, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly felt her center of gravity unstable. If she hadn't stood up subconsciously, she would probably have fallen to the ground. "Secondly, the Yukinoshita family is the Yukinoshita family, and you are you."

"Sobu High School may be just a high school, but as a prestigious high school in Chiba, it's quite famous. Plus, it's the school anniversary, so it has some influence. From what I hear, the Yukinoshita family is vying for a seat on the council. In this situation, if it's revealed that you're responsible for causing problems at the Sobu High School anniversary, which has never been a major event, and even completely halting it, and that this is also linked to a serious case of bullying... I think this would be a very powerful weapon in the hands of other competitors."

"So, you, Yukinoshita Haruno, would never dare do this. Whether it's based on your status or your personal character, you wouldn't proactively cause such a big mess. Even though you messed up the executive committee, you never considered making the school anniversary a complete failure. As a former chairman, you probably calculated that if the remaining workload was placed entirely on this group of people, and even if you did your best to squeeze out Yukinoshita's labor, you could probably still meet the deadline."

Songzhi Zi kicked the chair aside and said, "So, as long as this matter hasn't gotten out of hand, you can toy with these people here without restraint. But if things have developed to this point, and if you insist on continuing and it may cause things to get worse and worse... when the student union comes here to clean up the mess, you must leave. You have to leave."

Yukinoshita Haruno sighed. The underlying logic and bottom line behind her actions had indeed been seen through. She was causing trouble and making trouble here, but she absolutely dared not make a big deal out of it. This farce targeting Yukinoshita Yukino could only be contained to this conference room. Even if unexpected trouble arose, it must not be exposed outside the school.

Although Yukinoshita Haruno has many means outside of school, she must solve this matter using means within school, and it can only be solved within school.

Yukinoshita Yukino, caught in the middle of this situation, clearly hadn't considered this. She hadn't even considered resisting Yukinoshita Haruno—or perhaps even if she did, her resistance was too weak to be effective or meaningful. But Matsueda Azusa was different. Once she grasped Yukinoshita Haruno's bottom line, she couldn't bluff anymore.

Having said that, although Yukinoshita Haruno hadn't yet achieved her original goal, she was afraid that she would have to leave for now. Since there was no place left for her, she could only prepare to leave.

"But then again...letting you go like this seems a bit too easy for you, doesn't it?"

However, at this moment, Matsueda Azusa suddenly changed the subject, speaking with malice: "You caused such a scene here, messed up everything, and caused this chaos... and in the end, you just want to walk away? Since when did you say there's no price to pay for making a mistake?"

Yukinoshita Haruno didn't expect that Matsueda Azusa was still unwilling to let her go. It was obvious that basic social etiquette was to stop at a certain point, but it seemed that this guy had no such awareness at all.

She frowned slightly, but could only reveal a helpless expression, as if she had been defeated by Songzhi Zi. "Then how much do you want me to pay?"

"The trouble and harm you caused to Yukinoshita Yukino and the others is of no concern to me. If they want you to pay, then let them ask for it themselves. As for me..."

Songzhi Zi raised two fingers: "I can give you two choices."

Yukinoshita Haruno was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously asked: "What choice?"

"boom!"

Songzhizi said nothing, just kept punching.

As the sound of fist hitting face rang out, Matsueda Azusa's fist once again hit Yukinoshita Haruno's face, forming a symmetrical mark with the previous fist mark.

Yukinoshita Haruno's mind went blank for a moment.

Just beat me once, but you still do it again?!

Songzhi Zi shook his fist and belatedly explained: "Oh, I forgot to mention that this is not a single-choice question, but a multiple-choice question. I helped you choose one, so there is only one option left now."

Yukinoshita Haruno covered her face and looked at Matsueda Azusa in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would actually attack her at this time!

"What are you looking at? I just hit you to fulfill my promise, and now this is the price you should pay. I have always been fair."

Matsueda Azusa glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno, whose face was covered in two fist marks and looked a little funny. "You have paid the price for me. Now, you should go and apologize to my members. Also, I hope you will pay attention to one thing - the key to an apology is not the apology, but the making of an apology."

Chapter 144: Release Tiger Yuan and release Song Zhizi.

Yukinoshita Haruno was helpless, having run into Matsueda Azusa this time, so she had to accept defeat. If the current student council president or Hiratsuka Shizuka had been left to handle this matter, it probably wouldn't have escalated to this point. Given her status and connections, Jie would probably just handle it privately, letting her leave and then they'd deal with the mess.

But she ran into a stubborn person like Matsueda Azusa who was so protective of her children and not afraid of school violence but only worried that the school was not violent enough. She had no choice but to apologize to each member of the Supervisory Department one by one as Matsueda Azusa requested.

Yukinoshita Haruno has been around for all these years, but she has never met anyone who would actually beat her up - and even beat her up twice.

In response to Yukinoshita Haruno's apology, Numizu Kazuhiko and Yana saw that Anna seemed a little uncomfortable with this kind of occasion and seemed a little embarrassed, but Miura Yumiko really let out a sigh of relief.

Matsueda Azusa looked at this scene and felt a little conflicted. Although this did let him breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't know whether exposing them to Yukinoshita Haruno's sight was a bad thing.

Never mind, there was no need to overthink it. After all, they were his members, so he had to protect them no matter what. He had always been the one bullying his own members, so why would he allow anyone else to interfere?

Miura Yumiko cheered proudly, stepped forward, put her arm around Matsueda Azusa, and punched him lightly with her fist, "Damn it! We admire you, Commander Matsueda!"

"Oh, now you know why I'm the minister, right?"

Matsueda Azusa glanced at her, crossed his arms, and sneered, "How could the Queen of Sobu High actually cower in the face of such a situation? You're fine with being tricked and unable to fight back, but you're still thinking of stealing my position as captain?"

Miura Yumiko turned her face away guiltily and said stubbornly, "Well... if it's just me, I'm not afraid. Whether I skip work like everyone else or refuse the extra tasks assigned to me by those seniors, I have no problem. After all, I have my own small group, so it doesn't matter if I'm ostracized by my seniors. But if I do this, the other people in the Inspection Department..."

To be honest, it is true.

Even if Miura Yumiko joined the Inspection Club, she was still a bully, not a forced laborer. Common sense would have prevented her from falling into this situation. Her ability to share the joys and sorrows with the other members was already commendable, but asking her to confront Yukinoshita Haruno... well, that was a bit much.

Matsueda Azusa's expression softened, and she patted Miura Yumiko on the shoulder: "That's true. Thank you for your hard work. Next time you encounter something like this, call me for help."

“? Huh?!”

Miura Yumiko had been prepared for Matsueda Azusa's continued mad ridicule, but she didn't expect him to suddenly say something so human-like that it startled her for a moment and gave her goose bumps all over: "Is he being serious or sarcastic? Why does it sound so wrong!"

Matsueda Azusa finally showed some tenderness for once, but Miura actually acted like he had seen a ghost, which really left him speechless. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "I think you are addicted to masochism."

Miura Yumiko finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This is perfect!"

Looking at the scene in front of her, she had a premonition that the problem that had troubled her for so long seemed to be solved so quickly before her eyes. Sitting in the chairman's seat, Yukinoshita Yukino tightly grasped the pen in her hand, lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen clearly, but she looked extremely unwilling, as if she was caught in a tangled self-blame.

After a while, Hikigaya Hachiman finally arrived with several members of the student council.

Hibari Fentatorahara, Hiroto Sakurai, and Aishi Masashi followed Hachiman Hikigaya into the meeting room, panting.

But there was still no sign of Shikiya Yumeko's approaching figure—but that made sense, considering Matsueda Azusa couldn't imagine her running over breathlessly. She was probably still leisurely following behind, or perhaps she had been left behind to attend to other matters.

After entering the conference room, Hibari Toranohara immediately scanned the entire room and found that it was indeed as Hikigaya Hachiman said, most of the senior students were absent, and the accumulated work was left to the remaining students.

She frowned deeply and immediately ordered the two people behind her: "Go and call back those absent students!"

"There's no need to trouble you with such trivial matters."

Songzhi Zi sat sideways on the table, arms folded across his chest. "I've already told the team leaders to go back and fetch help. Why don't you focus on dealing with the current problem first?"

Fang Huyuan Yunque seemed a little embarrassed, but also relieved. "Thank you so much for troubling you, Songzhi. If you hadn't sent someone to tell me about the situation here, I'm afraid this school anniversary would have gone terribly wrong... I have an unshirkable responsibility in this. I'm very sorry!"

Sakurai Hiroto and Mata Aishi were about to act when they were stopped, looking a little bewildered. Sakurai Hiroto looked like he wanted to say something to defend the release of Hibara Tiger, but she stopped him with a wave of her hand.

Seeing Fang Huyuan Yunque's sincere expression, Matsueda Azusa's expression softened slightly, but he didn't let them off. "You do owe an apology, President Fang Huyuan. I've never seen a student council completely abandon the executive committee, and yours is the only one since the school was founded. How do you plan to resolve this issue now?"

"Because Yukinoshita-senpai previously presided over the planning of the school anniversary and achieved considerable success, and with the teacher's endorsement, I didn't overly suspect or pay much attention to the situation here... Of course, this isn't to excuse my own responsibility, it's just a brief explanation."

Hibari Fanghuhara sighed helplessly, but quickly regrouped. "For now, I intend to make the following arrangements for the current situation. Matsueda, do you think it's okay? First, we will do our best to eliminate the impact on Yukinoshita-senpai and remove her from the Executive Committee."

"Secondly, for executive members who are repeatedly absent and shirk their duties, we will record their behavior in the student union files, which will affect their evaluation for awards and honors within the school. For executive members who consistently perform their duties, we will also provide compensation and incentives. Tentatively, this will include increasing their regular points and allocating funds for compensation. If you have any other concerns, you can contact us privately."

"Finally, I hope to temporarily hire you, Matsueda, as the supervisor of the Executive Committee to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

After saying this, she bowed deeply and sincerely to Songzhi Zi: "I am truly sorry for our student union's negligence in this matter!"

Then she turned around and bowed to the other students present to apologize.

Matsueda Azusa had no objection to this. While Hibari Torahara was a bit overconfident in completely trusting Yukinoshita Haruno, at least she was sincere and immediately implemented the relevant punishment and compensation measures, without any hesitation or delay, but instead tried to resolve the problem with swiftness and determination.

However, it would be more accurate to say that this is Matsueda Azusa's normal impression of her, and it is her behavior of letting Yukinoshita Haruno go that really surprised Matsueda Azusa.

Moreover, this behavior is probably also intended to restore the student council's reputation. Having allowed Yukinoshita Haruno to cause such a mess, the student council's reputation among the lower grades has probably plummeted to its lowest point. Strong measures must be taken now to restore it.

This is indeed a good idea, the only problem is... after all, what others say has nothing to do with Matsueda Azusa, so there is no point in telling him about it.

"The rest is none of my business. Just discuss and negotiate among yourselves. But forget about asking me to be a temporary supervisor."

Matsueda Azusa waved his hand. "If this hadn't implicated my members, I wouldn't have bothered to intervene. Giving me this position isn't compensation or a reward. Chairman Tohara, please give up on the idea of ​​using me as a laborer."

Fang Huyuan Yunque sighed regretfully, but didn't force it. "Is that so? What a shame... Well, let's do this. I'll see if I can go through the procedures and approve funding for your club. On behalf of the Student Union, I'll grant your Supervisory Department oversight and management authority over related activities. How do you handle this?"
