After leaving the gymnasium, the atmosphere among Fang Li, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Horikita Suzune, and Kushida Kikyo became somewhat delicate.
Clearly, what had just happened had stirred each of their emotions to varying degrees.
Even Fang Li had come to understand just how much influence the Student Council and its president wielded at this club recruitment event.
"Looks like, after today, that Student Council President will be keeping an eye on me."
This was only a guess, but judging by Horikita Gaku's reaction just now, Fang Li could practically confirm it.
If he had not truly been paying close attention to Fang Li, then with Horikita Gaku's position and abilities, there would have been no need for him to deliberately approach Fang Li in public.
Naturally, after what happened today, Fang Li would likely become a popular topic of discussion at this school.
However, those discussions probably would not last long.
After all, in outsiders' eyes, Fang Li was merely a student who ran very fast. Even if he had caught the Student Council President's attention, the buzz would not last for long.
"The only ones who'll probably come talk to me are the Track and Field Club, right?"
When that time came, he would just refuse them outright.
Fang Li had no interest whatsoever in club activities.
In such circumstances, the girls accompanying him finally reacted.
"Well, I guess that's it for today. I still have to go have tea with my friends."
Kushida Kikyo smiled sweetly as though nothing had happened.
"Nanaya, Horikita, Ayanokoji, thank you for coming to the club recruitment event with me. Let's hang out again sometime."
With that, Kushida Kikyo waved to everyone as she left.
Kushida Kikyo's departure brought Horikita Suzune, who had been somewhat absentminded all along, back to herself as well.
"...Sigh."
