Horikita Wants to Be a Leader

Faced with Kato's charity, I accepted without hesitation.

At the same time, I silently remembered this kindness in my heart, vowing to repay it in the future.

Seeing me like this, Kato said with some helplessness.

"Akasaka, are you really short on money?"

As soon as she said it, Kato regretted it.

Because she suddenly remembered that Akasaka had mentioned his points for this month were zero, so it was normal to be short on money.

Seeing Kato's embarrassment, I waved my hand to signal it was okay, and Kato finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kato saw me eating such a meager set meal, yet enjoying it so much, and couldn't help but suggest.

"If you need points, Akasaka, I can lend you mine. You can pay me back next month."

Facing Kato's kindness, I shook my head and waved my hands to refuse, while sighing inwardly.

What a perfect woman! No wonder she was teased as Saintess Kei by so many netizens in my previous life, she truly lives up to the title.

Kind, unable to refuse others, plus her appearance is outstanding, her figure and height are also not a problem, all above the B+ passing line.

Such a good girl, coupled with such a good personality, if it weren't for her low presence, she would probably have been snapped up long ago, right?

However, her terrifyingly low presence seems useless to me. Is it because I'm a transmigrator?

On the other side, Kato Megumi was also thinking about the same problem.

This boy in front of her was the first person who didn't ignore her.

From childhood to adulthood, even her parents and older sister often forgot about her.

They'd forget her at the supermarket while going out to buy groceries.

It wasn't until they got home for dinner and subconsciously put out four sets of bowls and chopsticks that they realized one was missing, and knew she was still at the supermarket. It was truly miserable.

Because of this, her parents often apologized for forgetting her, but she had already gotten used to it.

After all, it had been like this since elementary school, and she didn't have a single friend.

Because of her faint presence when she was young, she was often lost.

She was even missing for a whole day and night without anyone noticing, and she walked back on her own.

To prevent losing their Daughter again, her parents even tied a rope around her when they went out, with the other end tied to their Daughter.

Once, this incident even caused a police officer to mistake them for human traffickers and arrest her parents.

She had only forgotten herself...

That's why Kato cared so much about Akasaka, because he was the only one who hadn't overlooked her, who had noticed her.

Perhaps her future romantic partners and even her husband would only be him.

That's right, Kato was that pessimistic.

She no longer expected to have a normal romantic relationship.

With her faint presence, what else could she expect?

She was already satisfied that someone had noticed her.

The two quickly finished lunch and walked together.

Akasaka hadn't expected it to go so smoothly to become friends with Kato.

His original intention was to befriend the girl with the faint presence, as she might be useful to him in the future.

After all, such a low presence would be perfect for gathering information.

As soon as the two returned to the classroom, they saw Horikita and Hirata vying for the leader position.

To be precise, Hirata was yielding, while Horikita was unilaterally trying to seize the leadership position of Class D.

She slammed the table, shook her black long straight hair, and looked confidently at everyone present.

"I think Class D can't go on like this anymore. We need a leader, and I think I'm the right person for the job."

Horikita arrogantly pointed at herself.

Beautiful Brother rested his feet on the table and looked directly at Horikita Suzune.

"What an interesting proposal, Lady."

"I have no objections to you being the leader. It makes no difference to me, because I won't listen anyway."

Beautiful Brother spread his hands, showing his attitude.

At the same time, he took out a small mirror and styled his slicked-back hair.

This immediately displeased Horikita, and just as she was about to retort, Ayanokoji stopped her.

Ayanokoji reached out and blocked Horikita.

"Forget it. This person has no intention of competing for the class leader position, so he poses no threat to you. Don't waste your time on him."

Horikita then relented and looked at Hirata Yosuke, the nominal supreme leader of Class D and the one with the most support.

Hirata Yosuke gave a wry smile. "I don't have any ambition to be the class leader. I just hope everyone can get along peacefully and we can all advance to Class A together, so I abstain."

Hirata raised his hand, signaling that he was giving up his claim to the leader position.

This immediately caused dissatisfaction among many classmates, especially Karuizawa Kei. At this point, she was openly dating Hirata, so she felt the need to speak up for her boyfriend.

She stood up fiercely, showing no respect at all, and said haughtily.

"Horikita, what right do you have to be the leader?"

"I admit your academic performance is a tiny bit better than mine, but so what?"

"With your reclusive personality, you think you can lead everyone to advance to Class A? That's hilarious."

Horikita's brows furrowed.

"I need to correct you, Karuizawa-san. Your academic rank is 32nd, while mine is first."

"The academic gap between us isn't just a little bit, it's a lot."

Karuizawa was instantly furious, her face turning bright red.

"That's why you have no friends! You're such a blunt woman!"

"What does it matter to you if I have friends or not? Besides, I don't need friends."

"You..."

Karuizawa was left speechless.

Hirata quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Everyone, let's not argue. Let's talk things out properly, talk things out."

"It's just the position of class leader. I can yield. Please, everyone, stop arguing."

Ultimately, with Hirata's concession and no one else stepping forward to compete, Horikita successfully became the nominal leader.

Although many below were unconvinced and likely wouldn't be easily ordered around.

Ayanokoji sighed inwardly.

This is really troublesome. I just wanted to live an ordinary life...

But then Chabashira-sensei threatened me with expulsion and forced me to act. This is really...

Does this person really deserve to be a teacher? Threatening a student to do something like this.

On the other side, Kato and Akasaka had already returned to their seats, completely unconcerned with these matters.

What does this have to do with me? I'm not earning any money from it.
