Slacking Off in the Infirmary

Generally speaking, if first-year students don't want to cause conflict, they have to wait for the second and third-year students to choose their seats before it's their turn.

However, this unspoken rule didn't apply to Aoyama.

Who told him to be the Student Council President, the man at the top of the school?

The other first-year students greeted the upperclassmen, but he was the one who was greeted by the upperclassmen.

"I'm Sasaki, the homeroom teacher of Class 2-A. After roll call, you'll all go outside and clean your designated areas."

After all the students in the large group had arrived and taken their seats, Sasaki, who had previously Student Council Nagumo advice in the student council, also entered the classroom.

"This is the task every morning. After cleaning, there's another task, and then it's time for breakfast."

Following the established procedure, Sasaki began taking attendance. After that, it was time to clean up, as he had said. The next task before breakfast was meditation training.

Among them, Ayanokoji, who had to take over the position of person in charge last night, received repeated praise from the teaching staff for her performance.

"How does Chairman Aoyama intend to arrange this?"

After having breakfast outdoors, which had several cooking areas and a huge dining space, the third-year leader of the group came up to Aoyama to ask him questions.

Today's breakfast was provided by the school, but according to Sasaki, starting tomorrow, they will be making their own breakfast.

The school will provide the ingredients and recipes.

"The one I don't know well is the first-year student leader. I just want to be a slacker." Aoyama pointed to the expressionless Ayanokoji and then stated his position.

In the morning, students study academic subjects in the classroom, and in the afternoon, they engage in physical exercise, concluding with meditation.

The first day of the forest school has passed, and three specific test items have been determined for the students.

First, there's meditation morning and evening; second, there are written exams for academic subjects; and third, there's the long-distance relay race.

The second and third days were the same, and Aoyama acted as if Ayanokoji didn't exist, engaging in the minimum level of group cooperation.

It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day, during the cultural studies class, that Sasaki, the group's instructor, gave the next exam topic.

[Speech]

On the final day, all students will give a speech on stage, with the topic and details provided by the school.

"Shiki."

In the restaurant during mealtime, Yamamura sat pitifully close to Aoyama.

Giving a speech in front of dozens of classmates and teachers was quite a challenge for her; just thinking about it made her nervous.

Aoyama placed his hand on Yamamura's head and rubbed it. "If you're worried about not performing well, you can practice with your friends from the study group and let them act as your audience."

"Airi is probably in the same situation; you two can practice together."

Lights out is at 10 PM, and there are several hours of free time before that, enough for the two people in the Yamamura to cram at the last minute.

Yamamura squinted his eyes, a look of enjoyment on his face. "Yes, I will."

"I want all Shiki too."

Today, Karuizawa didn't eat with her friends, but instead chose to have dinner with Aoyama.

Aoyama smiled helplessly. "Then how am I supposed to eat?"

Since his relationship with Karuizawa progressed further, Karuizawa has become even more clingy when he's around, and doesn't care about what others think.

"I can feed Shiki," Karuizawa said with a grin, placing a piece of meat from her plate near Aoyama's mouth.

"Do you think I'm a child? Don't you have any dignity Student Council President?"

Despite refusing, Aoyama ate the meat that was in his mouth.

With a satisfied smile on Karuizawa's face, he gently patted Karuizawa's head before continuing his meal.

A meal that should have taken ten minutes to finish took almost half an hour to eat.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

As the three of them left the restaurant after their meal, Aoyama spotted Kamuro's back amidst the bustling crowd.

As he tried to catch up and talk to him, he noticed that Kamuro had stopped, and a somewhat angry voice followed.

"I'll go see what's going on." Leaving the two of them behind, Aoyama quickly walked through the crowd to Kamuro's side, where he saw Sakayanagi being helped to his feet by Kamuro.

Standing in front of the two was Maezono, who showed little remorse, or rather, feigned remorse.

"I just didn't notice and kicked the cane." Maezono's upturned eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction. "Besides, there's also the possibility that Classmate Sakayanagi accidentally extended it outside his body."

"They come in accusing someone of doing it on purpose right away. Are the Student Council members really that domineering? Well, after all, the Student Council President is Aoyama."

Even though it was she who kicked Sakayanagi's cane, Maezono acted aggressively.

This undoubtedly made Kamuro, who already felt that Maezono had done this on purpose, even angrier, and his eyes became sharp.

"So what if I'm the Student Council President? You seem very dissatisfied."

Bending down to pick up Sakayanagi's cane that had been kicked away, Aoyama stood up, placed his hand on Kamuro's shoulder, and appeared in Maezono.

From Maezono's tone, he realized that Maezono seemed to despise him, and then took her anger out on the Student Council.

"... I have no obligation to answer you." Unexpectedly encountering Aoyama, Maezono panicked for a moment before immediately retorting defiantly.

To her now, the Student Council President is no different from any other student.

"What, you only whisper behind people's backs and dare not say it to their faces?"

With his gaze fixed on her somber face, Aoyama exerted immense pressure on Maezono.

Many students in the first grade whispered about him behind his back, but they only talked about it with their classmates or close friends.

No one wouldn't worry that such a boastful statement made in public would reach his ears and provoke his petty and ruthless revenge.

The Maezono is in serious condition now.

"Hmph, just wait and see what happens."

Unable to resist breaking the restrictions someone had set for her, Maezono snorted coldly and turned to run away.

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't time yet, she would definitely let Aoyama know how arrogant he is now and how much he will regret it later.

"There's a problem, Maezono." Sakayanagi reached out and took the cane back from Aoyama's hand, lightly scratching Sakayanagi Aoyama's palm before withdrawing her own hand.

"Indeed, after all, most people don't know that your father, the Chairman, has been suspended from his post."

Turning his gaze away from the figure in Maezono, Aoyama answered Sakayanagi in a low voice, and casually placed his hand on her head and ruffled it.

Thinking about how Sakayanagi had embarrassed himself in front of everyone, he couldn't help but feel a desire to comfort him.

"When did you two become so close?"

In front of everyone, Kamuro, like Aoyama, gave up on chasing after them. As soon as she turned her head, she saw that Sakayanagi's cute little face seemed to have an expression of enjoyment.

Meanwhile, her boyfriend's hand was gently rubbing Sakayanagi's head.

Chapter 285 Slacking Off in the Infirmary

As expected, it wasn't of much use.

This is troublesome; the success rate has dropped significantly.

Ayanokoji withdrew his gaze from Aoyama, who was holding Kamuro's hand, and disappeared into the crowd.

Despite his repeated instructions not to do anything attention-grabbing before the exam, Maezono An still went against his wishes.

Hopefully, Aoyama isn't that perceptive.

In a secluded place, Ayanokoji wrote down the latest instructions on a piece of white paper and hid the note under a rock beneath a large tree.

Monday, the fifth day of exams at the forest school.

This morning's classes were different; instead of being held in a classroom, we were taken to the mountains for a relay test simulation.

The students spend four hours each morning traversing a round trip of 18 kilometers through rugged mountainous terrain.

"Want to have a match, student council president boy?"

At the starting line of the relay race, Aoyama and Koenji did not choose to follow the main group, but instead stood together under the shade of a tree, waiting for the main group to go far away.

"No, this time I intend to find the surveillance footage on this road." Aoyama declined Koenji's invitation, but he didn't hide his purpose.

It's impossible to say that there are surveillance cameras everywhere during a nine-kilometer trek through the mountains, but it's definitely not completely without them either.

On the last day, there were four tests, three of which were conducted in full view of everyone. Only the mountain relay race was an event where cheating was possible.

Because the rules require everyone to participate and there is a minimum relay distance, each person will separate at the start of the race.

"You really hate Ayanokoji."

"I generally dislike him, but I dislike his father even more."

After the others had walked some distance, Aoyama also started walking on the track, looking around like a traveler taking a stroll.

After following him for a while, Koenji disappeared down a side road.

"Besides Koenji, you're the only one left."

"If you don't hurry up and get back late, you won't get lunch."

When Aoyama arrived at the turnaround point, Chabashira, who was taking attendance there, spoke coldly.

"Thanks for the reminder, but I wasn't planning on having lunch. Could you provide some snacks, teacher?" Aoyama extended his hand towards Aoyama with his Chabashira facing up.

There's only half an hour for lunch, so if you go late, you won't get any, which he's prepared for.

"You should ask Chie about this."

He slapped the writing board Chabashira directly at Aoyama's palm, but Aoyama naturally dodged it.

"You actually hit me?"

"Didn't you hit it?" A slight smile appeared on Chabashira's usually indifferent face as the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Well, I was planning to give you a surprise anyway, so I'll forgive you this time."

A smile appeared on his face as Aoyama turned and started walking back to the starting point.

"Tell me what the surprise is." Chabashira's smile vanished.

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore, wouldn't you say? Chabashira-sensei of Class 1-D."

With a wave of his hand, Aoyama ignored Chabashira, who was stuck in place due to his duties, and continued to carry out the next plan without looking back.

On the day he discovered Maezono's unusual behavior, he asked Kushida to probe Maezono that very night, hoping Kushida could find out what gave Maezono such confidence to oppose him and his group of dropouts.

Kushida was told that Maezono still liked Hashimoto, who had dumped her, and that Hashimoto's breakup with her must have been because of Aoyama.

Driven by immense hatred, the petty woman even harbored resentment towards those close to Aoyama, especially Karuizawa, whom she already disliked, and Kamuro, who was arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

"Where did you go just now, Koenji?"

On the way, Aoyama saw Koenji looking somewhat travel-worn, his white athletic short-sleeved shirt covered in dust.

"That sign is correct; there really are wild boars around here, just a bit small." Koenji pointed to the warning sign erected along the racecourse, indicating the presence of wild boars.

Judging from the appearance, Koenji had quite a bit of fun with the wild boar.

"Approximate location?"

After asking around and getting a general location, Aoyama stopped walking slowly and rushed towards the place where the wild boar had been found.

Once he reached the desired location, he took out his Multifunctional Glasses from his System Space and began searching for traces of wild boars.

"Pig~ Your nose has two holes~~"

Using thermal imaging, Aoyama, humming a song, spotted a wild boar shortly afterward, but unfortunately it was too big to handle.

It took him almost half an hour to catch a wild boar of suitable size, and then he attached a tracking device to the boar's ear.

By the time all this was done, it was already past midnight.

"Chabashira told me to get some food from you."

Aoyama returned to school after lunchtime and went to the makeshift infirmary before afternoon classes, where he found Hoshinomiya looking bored.

Although he wouldn't mind being hungry all afternoon, the four-hour trek in the morning, coupled with the physical exertion of catching wild boars, had left him feeling quite hungry.

"Huh? Are you sure it was Sae who said that?" Hoshinomiya immediately expressed disbelief.
