Blackmailing the School

People have varying degrees of closeness or distance, and among her classmates, the one she liked to be closest to the straightforward Ibuki was.

"Yes, yes, no problem, no problem."

With a light laugh, he answered, and after noticing Morofuji's somewhat hurried figure, Aoyama took Shiina's hand and left Ibuki's side.

That night, before curfew, he stayed in Shiina's dormitory, holding Shiina's soft, fragrant body while reading.

The next day's study session.

During lunch, Aoyama brought up Shiina to become the leader of Class A, and his plan to step down and replace her with someone else to lead Class B.

With 43 members, Class B's overall strength already far surpasses Classes Class A and Class D, and it also has a near-total dominance over Class C from the Amikura. Combined with its strength and numerous internal traitors, the other classes are no match for it.

He can easily defeat any class he plays against now.

"Don't look at me, I won't do it." Faced with the gazes focused on him, Kamuro decisively shook his head.

With her studies, exercise, and Student Council work, she felt she was already busy enough and didn't want to add anything more to her schedule.

"I can't do it either."

Following Kamuro, Yamamura also timidly raised his hand, indicating that he had no intention of becoming the class leader.

Although her communication skills have improved considerably, she is also aware of her own limitations and that there are many more suitable students in Class B than her.

"If you don't want to be one, then just give it to Morishita Ran." Aoyama placed the empty bowl on the table.

In the quiz before the final exams, Morishita, a somewhat eccentric girl, scored zero in all subjects, thwarting Sakayanagi's little scheme. She's an Akito, but her personality is a bit whimsical.

Simply put, he's a bit of a genius.

Her neutral stance and lack of friends meant she could only rely on Aoyama's influence to rule the class, which also allowed Aoyama to regain control of the class at any time.

"Morishita- kun?" Yamamura looked somewhat worried.

Because of her strange behavior, she secretly observed Morishita Ran and learned that she was an oddball.

A normal high school girl wouldn't lie on the ground for half an hour with a magnifying glass to observe ants on the ground.

"Morishita Ran? That's a student's name I haven't paid attention to before." Ichinose looked thoughtful. "But since Shiki has taken a liking to her, she must be a formidable opponent."

She was somewhat pleased that Aoyama had shirked his duties and stepped down, because it was beneficial to Class C.

Eight students dropped out of Class A and two transferred to other classes. Which student wouldn't be scared? They were afraid that Aoyama would do something big again and affect them, who were not involved.

Although Class C also won the final exams just as decisively as Class B, their morale not only didn't improve, but actually dropped slightly.

Regarding the fact that Amikura had a secret collaboration with Aoyama during the final exams, no student in Class C voiced any opinion on it, and there was not a single dissenting voice against Amikura.

"Hey, Aoyama, do you think I could be the leader of Class D?" Karuizawa looked at Aoyama curiously, hoping to hear Aoyama opinion.

If Aoyama says it's possible, should she give it a try?

I don't think that will work.

Before Aoyama could answer, Hasebe interrupted.

She couldn't imagine how disastrous it would be Karuizawa the class leader; at the very least, the boys would definitely cause trouble.

"This time, I agree with Haruka, who can't be like you either," Aoyama said truthfully.

Being the leader of Class D is the most difficult job among the four classes. You could say even a dog wouldn't want to be one. Only a psychologically traumatized idiot like Hirata would try to mend this disorganized mess of Class D.

Hasebe immediately pouted, "I didn't say I wanted to be one, why did you add an adjective to it?"

"Because Karuizawa didn't ask you just now, being sarcastic isn't a good habit."

In response to Hasebe's rebuttal, Aoyama stopped Sakura and Yamamura from cleaning up after they finished eating.

"You guys washed the dishes last time, so this time Haruka and Karuizawa will do it."

"No arguing, it's settled then."

Chapter 273 of Cesium's work was deleted.

The last week before winter break.

On Monday, news Aoyama Shiki, who was riding high in Class 1-C, had resigned from his position as leader of the Class 1-C because he found it boring.

Under his arrangement, a relatively unknown girl from Class B named Morishita Ran took over the leadership position, reportedly despite her own reluctance to accept it.

But Aoyama refused.

The next day, Shiina Hiyori from Class 1-A announced at the class meeting before morning classes that she intended to take on the role of class leader, and most of the girls, led by Manabe, immediately expressed their agreement.

When she declared that as long as she remained the leader, Aoyama would not drop out of Class A, except for Ayanokoji, all objections from the boys vanished.

Despite Ryuen's complete lack of response, she successfully obtained the position of class leader.

Wednesday evening.

Karuizawa, who still harbored ambitions for the leadership position, went to Aoyama's dormitory around 9 o'clock.

"You really want the leadership position in Class D that badly? I don't know what's so great about that position."

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Aoyama looked at Karuizawa, who was sitting in a chair.

A light blue inner shirt was worn under a khaki coat, and beneath the layered pure black pleated skirt were high-quality black thermal tights.

He didn't know what was so good about the position of leader of Class D. If he did well, he would only receive insignificant praise, but if he did poorly, he would be criticized and complained about. On a daily basis, he would also have to deal with the troubles caused by a group of extraordinary people.

"I want to give it a try, besides, it won't improve my abilities anyway."

With her small feet encased in black pantyhose touching the floor, Karuizawa climbed onto Aoyama's bed and took his arm to get close to him.

Her reason for becoming the leader of Class D was simple: she just wanted Aoyama to see her more often, and maybe she could help him in the Aoyama.

She wasn't in the same class as Aoyama, nor was she a member of the Student Council, so she rarely got to spend time with Aoyama each week.

After becoming a class leader, she could also seek help from Aoyama when she encountered difficulties.

Improving your skills? Are you really that hard-working?

Knowing that Karuizawa needed to rush to learn, Aoyama knew this wasn't Karuizawa's true feeling, but if Karuizawa insisted, he wouldn't mind giving her some advice.

"If you encounter any problems in the future, you can't complain to me about them."

To clarify beforehand, Aoyama pulled his arm out of Karuizawa's embrace, then moved her directly onto his lap and sat her down, holding her in his arms like a large doll.

In the already chilly December, he increasingly cherished the feeling of holding someone in his arms.

Its body, with its light fragrance and soft, comforting warmth, is simply wonderful.

Relaxing, Karuizawa leaned completely against Aoyama. "I understand. I'll try to solve any problems myself, and I'll come to you if I can't."

"If you can't solve it, try Suzune first, then Kikyo, and only lastly me."

With Horikita and Kushida around, Aoyama felt he didn't really need to help, unless it involved Koenji Rokusuke, someone neither Horikita nor Kushida could do anything about.

"Well, fine then." Karuizawa pouted, then somewhat displeasedly removed Aoyama's hands from around her waist.

Then, she sat directly on Aoyama's lap, facing him, her eyes fixed on Aoyama.

"Neither Hasebe nor Horikita are as close to Aoyama as I am. I also want Aoyama to call me by my name."

"Can I say it's a habit, Hui?"

Understanding the source of Karuizawa's dissatisfaction, Aoyama decisively placed his hand on Karuizawa's head and gently stroked it, changing how he addressed her.

This is his fault. Although there is no clear relationship, he has already hugged her, so not changing how he addresses her is his problem.

"Then--" Aoyama slightly raised his head to look into Karuizawa's indigo eyes. When he heard that he had changed how he addressed her, joy overflowed in his beautiful eyes.

"Will you be my girlfriend, Hui?"

Huh?!!!!

How did it suddenly become so intuitive? I wasn't prepared for this at Shiki.

Who confesses their feelings just because they changed how they address someone? Do they expect me to be even happier?

"Yes! I'd love to."

After covering her mouth in shock, Karuizawa immediately nodded in agreement, then wrapped her arms around Aoyama's neck and lowered her head.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time, ever since the cruise vacation ended.

They kissed, and then what?

In a moment of excitement, they kissed with their lips, and then Karuizawa didn't know what to do.

Just as she tried to look up again, Aoyama's large hand pressed down on the back of her head, while his other hand climbed onto her...

Chapter 274 Extortion at the School

The next day.

After school, Aoyama, as usual, went to the Student Council Kamuro and began to work like a slave.

Just as he was lost in thought, contemplating spending the night in Karuizawa's room, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared in the Student Council room.

Good afternoon, principal and teachers.

"What can I do for you at the Student Council?"

As the person of the highest status in the meeting room, Aoyama first greeted the newcomers and gestured for Kiriyama to bring the principal, who also served as a teacher, to sit down.

Although he is the principal, he is under the control of the Kouiku Board of Directors, and his power is not much stronger than that of Mashima, the head of the first year.

"I'm here to convey the Council's latest instructions."

At Kiriyama's invitation, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline sat down and handed Aoyama a document.

What kind of document requires the principal to deliver it personally?

Puzzled, Aoyama took the document and quickly skimmed through it, understanding what the council wanted to do and realizing why it was the principal who came to deliver it.

"Didn't the Student Council reject this document?"

Aoyama tossed the document to Sakayanagi, then asked the principal a question.

Aspiring to challenge Horikita Manabu, former Student Council Vice President Nagumo, during his tenure, submitted a proposal to the higher authorities to expand the Special Exam beyond a single grade level.

Only through Special Exam involving all twelve classes and with a high degree of variability can true talent be refined and more capable cultivated.

Students with stronger individual abilities will receive more preferential treatment in Special Exam, and the method for judging students' abilities is through software that is still under development.

[Overall Ability], abbreviated as OAA.

The school will evaluate students based on their academic ability, physical ability, flexible thinking, and social contribution, and this evaluation will be reflected in the school's software.

All students in the school can view their own and others' OAA ratings on it; whether someone is a mediocre or outstanding student can be determined simply by looking at their OAA.

"But several members of the council felt it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. In their words, how would we know if it was a good thing or a bad thing if we didn't try out the changes?"

"In this matter, the Student Council must cooperate with the school, and OAA will be officially put into use when the new students arrive in April."

The principal explained the reason for revisiting the plan, stating that he was merely conveying instructions from numerous important figures.

"I remember my father saying that he didn't support this plan."

After Aoyama the documents brought by the principal, Sakayanagi Arisu also had some doubts, knowing that her father did not like the plan.

She didn't understand how the plan had been approved.

"This is not something I can object to. I would appreciate it if you could arrange for Aoyama Student Council members to cooperate with the school's work."

"Personally, I really dislike this plan." Aoyama tapped the table.

"If something goes wrong, I'll be the first one to take the blame, so what kind of compensation does the school plan to give me?"

During his tenure, the school underwent major reforms. If any major chaos ensued, the first person people would think of was him, the incompetent and reckless Student Council President.

"This should be the Student Council President's duty—"

"Don't talk to me about duties and obligations. If you think of yourself as just a messenger, then help me relay this message back to the council."

Aoyama directly interrupted the principal's attempt to shirk responsibility.

You can't expect him to do anything without giving him anything in return.
