Everything Is Settled, and Nagumo Miyabi Is Completely Crushed.

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly. After Miyabi Nagumo drew this move, the boy already knew the outcome. He picked up the ballpoint pen from his notebook and fiddled with it, becoming more and more relaxed.

"Is Hashiba really that confident about the final result?"

Miyabi Nagumo stopped pulling out the paper slip and fixed her gaze on Hashiba Hikaru's calm face.

"President Nagumo, please don't misunderstand. I just feel that this matter is finally coming to an end. I'm sure everyone feels the same way, since we can go have dinner after this is over."

"Is Hashiba hungry?"

"Just a little bit, please continue drawing slips of paper, President Nagumo, let's not waste any more time."

"Hehe, that's natural."

After drawing seven votes, Miyabi Nagumo already had a vague feeling that something was wrong, because four of the opposing votes had appeared, which meant that one of the two people he had tried so hard to win over had defected.

"The eighth one..."

The blond man took out the eighth ticket from the box. He carefully unfolded the slip of paper, and soon the two extremely glaring words came into view, which caused Miyabi Nagumo's tense expression to finally show a slight crack.

"Be opposed to."

When the results of the eighth vote were announced, Kushida Kikyo, who was sitting at the end, finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, there were already five dissenting votes, making it impossible to get more than half.

Seeing the Student Council President's face darken, Hashiba Hikaru Hashima urged, "What's wrong? What are you waiting for, President Nagumo? Aren't you going to keep drawing?"

What did you do?

Anger, stemming from things spiraling out of control, surfaced on Miyabi Nagumo's face.

"Nagumo- senpai's question is quite interesting. How am I supposed to know what I've done when you ask me something so abruptly?"

Hashiba Hikaru shrugged helplessly. "Please announce the results first. If you have any questions after everything is over, I'll answer them."

"Etc!"

After noticing something was amiss, Nishikawa Taishi, who had been observing the atmosphere, stood up and spoke.

"What's wrong, Nishikawa -kun?"

Upon hearing his voice, Miyabi Nagumo looked over with a sigh of relief. "Do you have any thoughts?"

"Um... I suddenly feel that the evidence presented in today's impeachment is too little, and it might wrongly accuse Vice President Hashiba. Can I request a suspension of the impeachment?"

His voice sounded a little nervous, but saving the day was something he had to do.

"That won't do."

Hashiba Hikaru Miyabi Nagumo could, her voice still calm, but carrying an undeniable air of authority.

His gaze locked onto Nishikawa Taishi's face. "Impeachment of ordinary Student Council officers can be stopped midway, but once the positions of Student Council President and Vice President are involved, impeachment cannot be stopped once it is initiated. Has Nishikawa- senpai forgotten the rules of the Student Council?"

"But I feel there are still some doubts about this matter that I haven't investigated thoroughly. If I really wrong Vice President Hashiba, I will feel very guilty. What does President Nagumo think?"

Nishikawa looked at the blond man's face.

"Well... if there really is another hidden reason, perhaps pausing midway is also a suitable approach. After all, humane management is a method advocated by our Student Council."

Miyabi Nagumo tried to change the subject, but the boy showed no mercy and interrupted her directly.

"Ugh, that's really breaking the rules."

Hashiba Hikaru pointed to the Conference Room door. "Since today's impeachment is of paramount importance, to ensure nothing goes wrong, I've specially invited an off-site guest to observe the proceedings. He's standing right at the door."

Who is it?

Miyabi Nagumo and Nishikawa Taishi were both stunned.

"Please come in, Chairman."

Hashiba Hikaru called out to the Conference Room door, which quickly opened, and the handsome, silver-haired middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and walked in with a smile.

"Chairman?!"

Upon seeing the person with the highest authority in the school, everyone present changed their expressions drastically. They never expected that Hashiba Hikaru could actually bring in the Chairman as a trump card.

"My original idea was to let the students grow freely, but today Hashiba said he had something very interesting to discuss and wanted me to sit in as a guest. Luckily, the Chairman's office isn't far from here, so I came over. I hope I haven't disturbed anyone?"

Sakayanagi Narimori looked at Miyabi Nagumo and Nishikawa standing over there, and smiled as he gestured to them.

"Of course... it's an honor for our Student Council that the Chairman could visit our Conference Room."

Although she was deeply shocked, Miyabi Nagumo still managed to suppress her surprise and replied with a smile.

"That's good. I've just finished listening to your debate. Is it time for the final voting stage?"

Sakayanagi Narimori glanced at the eight tickets lying on the table, his eyes gleaming with interest. "Why aren't you drawing anymore?"

"Well... because there were some setbacks along the way, everyone wanted to halt the impeachment process."

Nishikawa offered a forced smile as he addressed the intrigued Chairman, "There might not be any voting results today. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Hehe, that won't do. I remember that I reviewed Nagumo- kun's reform plan back then."

Without the slightest hesitation, Sakayanagi Narimori retorted, "Has the impeachment of the President and Vice President not been stopped? Have you all forgotten that?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Miyabi Nagumo and Nishikawa's expressions immediately froze. They had just been guessing that if the vote failed, they would simply gloss over it and give up this opportunity.

Unfortunately, once Sakayanagi Narimori uttered those words, there was no turning back. After all, opposing the Chairman was tantamount to opposing the person who had established his authority, a fact that Miyabi Nagumo was well aware of.

"Alright then, I'll continue counting the votes."

Miyabi Nagumo gritted her teeth. Since the result wasn't out yet, she might as well take a gamble!

"The ninth one is..."

Despite his inner rage, the blond man was still very careful when smoothing out the paper strip. He smoothed out all the wrinkles until he could clearly see the two small words inside.

"Be opposed to."

556

Chapter 556 The dust has settled, and Miyabi Nagumo is completely crushed.

The ninth vote was against.

After Miyabi Nagumo posted the note to everyone, Nishikawa Taishi felt a chill run through him, because it meant that more than half of the people opposed it, and everything was over.

"Please draw the last one, President Nagumo, so we can announce the results."

Hashiba Hikaru looked at Miyabi Nagumo's pale face. From the beginning until now, everything had exceeded his expectations, leaving the blond man feeling completely out of control.

"The tenth one..."

Faced with the stares of Sakayanagi Narimori and Hashiba Hikaru, Miyabi Nagumo had no choice but to pull out the last slip of paper from the ballot box.

"Be opposed to."

All the voting results have been announced: seven votes against and three votes in favor. The impeachment case concerning Hashiba Hikaru has now come to a close.

"It seems that Hashiba is a universally recognized good person. Most of the Student Council officers believe that you didn't do such a thing. Congratulations."

Miyabi Nagumo understood that this matter was no longer within her control, so she simply accepted the outcome.

"Thank you, President Nagumo."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at the Chairman, who was standing smiling beside the long table in the Conference Room. "Could you please stay here a little longer, Chairman? The matter I requested you to attend to isn't completely finished yet."

"Is that so? But wasn't the impeachment already over?"

Sakayanagi Narimori came today after receiving a text message from Sakayanagi Arisu. He knew he was about to leave the school, and before leaving, the silver-haired man decided to add a little more weight to his claim against Hashiba Hikaru.

"No, of course it's not over yet."

As soon as Hashiba Hikaru finished speaking, the Second Year boy sitting next to him immediately stood up.

"President Nagumo, Vice President Hashiba, and Chairman, I also have a proposal for impeachment to submit. May I explain it?"

"..."

When Miyabi Nagumo saw the boy stand up, her expression changed drastically, because the other person had always been on her side and was her close comrade-in-arms.

"Echizen, who... who do you intend to impeach?"

The blond man's voice trembled slightly.

"The person I want to impeach is President Nagumo! He has done a lot of things to abuse his power for personal gain. I used to be his assistant, so I know a lot of inside information. In order to protect everyone, I must stand up and expose his true colors and expel him from the Student Council!"

The boy, known as Echizen, had a distinctive voice with strong intonation and scathing remarks that were truly striking.

"I see. It seems Echizen- senpai went through a long internal struggle. It must have been quite an ordeal."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at Miyabi Nagumo's ashen face and naturally took over the conversation, "So, according to the rules, it should be my turn to preside over the next part, right?"

"Yes..."

Seeing the Chairman's attentive expression, Miyabi Nagumo practically squeezed out the word through gritted teeth.

"That's good."

Hashiba Hikaru swept all the notes on the table into the trash can, then closed the box on the side. "Everyone, please consider the feasibility of this impeachment. We'll collect your votes in three minutes."

"Understood."

Everyone present sat down and tore off slips of paper from their notebooks to write down the new voting results. Meanwhile, Sakayanagi Narimori, standing to the side, stroked his chin with considerable interest, observing Hashiba Hikaru's control of the situation.

Up to now, this silver-haired man has witnessed quite a lot. Although Hashiba Hikaru is only a first-year student, he already has a strong grasp of the Student Council.

After he announced the start of the three-minute countdown, almost all the Student Council officers subconsciously lowered their heads and began to act without any hesitation. When the countdown ended, the process of collecting votes went very smoothly.

"Now that all the voting is complete, it's time for the vote counting. What are your thoughts, Senior Nagumo?"

Hashiba Hikaru specifically asked about it, which made the blond man's expression even more unpleasant.

"Please continue, junior Hashiba."

"OK."

After a slight smile, the boy, who already knew the outcome clearly, opened the box according to the steps and began to draw the result of the first slip of paper.

"Agree."

"Agree."

"Agree."

Three more tickets of the same type were issued, but this time the result was completely opposite to the previous one. Hashiba Hikaru glanced at Miyabi Nagumo again, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"The fourth one... is against it."

"Let me see the fifth one... It's another disagreement. It seems there are quite a few people who support President Nagumo's innocence."

Hashiba Hikaru said that on purpose to see the other party's reaction.

"Maybe I really am innocent, just like Junior Hashiba. What do you think?"

Miyabi Nagumo wanted to lash out, but since the Chairman was also present, he didn't want to leave a stain on his reputation before graduation, so he could only try to maintain his dignity.

"I think so too, so let's continue counting the votes."

Hashiba Hikaru looked away from Miyabi Nagumo's face and took out the stacked slips of paper from the box again.

After the sudden arrival of the Chairman, most of the Student Council officers realized just how much power Hashiba Hikaru wielded, which led to an even more terrifyingly one-sided voting result.

"Agreed... Agreed... Agreed..."

After pulling out all the remaining slips of paper, Hashiba Hikaru laid them out flat on the table. Just as he had initially predicted, there were two against and eight in favor, an even more surprising result than the previous round.

"It seems the outcome is already decided, Senior Nagumo."

Hashiba Hikaru casually tossed the ballot box onto the table, where it was quickly taken away by the nearest Student Council member.

"The voting results are in. According to the Student Council's regulations and rules, Senior Nagumo can no longer serve as our Student Council President. It's truly regrettable."

"..."

Miyabi Nagumo glanced at the silver-haired man standing at the back of the Conference Room. The man had already started walking towards her, which made her very nervous.

"Chairman?"

Hashiba Hikaru naturally noticed the other person's behavior and immediately nodded in greeting.

"Today has truly ushered in a tremendous change. Since this is a decision made by everyone, I naturally cannot interfere in the internal affairs of your Student Council. Nagumo- kun, please hand over the Student Council President's seal to him."

Standing beside Hashiba Hikaru, Sakayanagi Narimori delivered a verdict that sounded like a pronouncement.
