Undercurrents

Before she had been hugged for even a minute, Shiina noticed that Aoyama's hands were starting to get restless.

The fear of being seen by the Yamamura made her feel nervous.

Although Yamamura, like himself, had a girlfriend with Aoyama had a close relationship, and she was also his good friend.

But I'll still be shy about things I'm supposed to be shy about.

"I love you, Hiyori." Aoyama continued to explore and measure Shiina's measurements, and of course, his tools were still his large hands.

That's not the answer I wanted to hear.

Feeling sweet inside, Shiina continued coquettishly, glancing towards the bathroom.

If she heard any unusual noises, she wouldn't even bother to linger in this comfortable feeling.

"What kind of answer do you want to hear? My adorable Hiyori is so cute it's unfair." He moved Shiina's body slightly so she could sit sideways on him, Aoyama cupped Shiina's cheeks to turn her face to the side.

He then blocked Shiina from speaking and launched a sustained and fierce attack.

He even turned the perfect gap between the gray silk and the pleated skirt into a new battleground.

Once, twice, three times.

After repeatedly silencing Shiina's words, Aoyama was delighted to find that Shiina's small hand had also been placed on his back, no longer pushing away his mischievous large hand.

Her exquisite and beautiful purple eyes were already hidden behind her eyelids.

Her lovely face was flushed red like blood, her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, and her slightly parted, moist pink lips.

Everything was telling Aoyama that the adorable girl named Shiina Hiyori in front of him had fallen into a dazed state.

"How can someone be so cute, Hiyori- chan?"

While whispering sweet nothings, Aoyama gradually removed the protective gear from Shiina's body.

The cool sea breeze blowing into the room through the crack in the window instantly sobered Shiina, who was feeling a bit groggy.

"Waaah--"

Just as she realized what was happening and suddenly opened her eyes, Aoyama had already hugged her tightly and covered her mouth with a kiss.

Not long after, a slightly trembling but equally warm body embraced her from behind.

You big bad guy, Shiki!

How could you, Yamamura classmate, also become an accomplice to evil?!

Unable to resist, Shiina tightly closed her eyes, and soon reached the peak of pleasure.

The captivating sound lingered in the room for a long time.

"You big bad guy, H Shiki."

"If you do that again, I won't talk to you anymore."

On the way to the Student Council the following afternoon, Shiina was still upset about what happened the night before, and she punched Aoyama on the back with her little fists.

Without realizing it, she fell into Aoyama's trap and suffered something extremely embarrassing.

Recalling her friend's radiant, rosy face, she felt a surge of shyness and anger, and punched Aoyama on the back several more times.

I don't think you enjoyed it much last Hiyori either.

Looking at Shiina's adorable face, flushed with embarrassment and anger, Aoyama wanted to say something, but he knew that would provoke an even fiercer attack from Shiina.

Shiina, who was completely reckless last night, was much more proactive than Yamamura.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

They'll do it again next time.

While apologizing verbally, Aoyama was already planning his next attack.

He felt he could look at Shiina and Yamamura's shy and bashful expressions for a lifetime and still not get enough.

"I skipped work on my very first day in the Student Council. Wasn't the senior a little too heartless?"

"I want my senior to keep an eye on me more."

Upon entering the Student Council, Aoyama saw Amasawa Ichika stand up from her seat and make an adorable, complaining speech.

"I won't look."

After calmly dealing with Amasawa Ichika, Aoyama stretched and yawned after taking his seat in the Student Council's main seat.

He got a little too excited last night.

"By the way, has your Special Exam partner been found yet, senior?" Amasawa Ichika continued, showing no annoyance at Aoyama's casual reply.

"I don't know, it depends on Morishita's arrangements."

Since Morishita has decided to collaborate with Class 1-C, Aoyama will follow suit and partner with a student from Class 1-C.

Anyway, since this is Special Exam, he has no chance of dropping out of school.

"Eh, Morishita- senpai can arrange things for you, senpai?"

"She's the leader of Class A, so why can't she? Get back to work!"

Aoyama waved for Amasawa Ichika to sit down and began to process the tasks that had accumulated from yesterday.

When Sakura Haruko arrived, he and the others welcomed her and, as previously decided, placed her under Shiina, letting her mentor her.

"I apologize for what Hosen did yesterday, President Aoyama."

When it was time to relax, Nanase Tsubasa went to Aoyama's side and bowed her head to apologize.

So many people witnessed what happened at the stadium last night, it's not surprising that it reached Nanase's ears.

Although Hosen suffered a loss, it doesn't mean Aoyama was wrong. Anyone with eyes can see that Hosen started it.

"No need to apologize, this isn't your fault." One thing at a time, Aoyama naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against Nanase.

Nanase's expression still held an apologetic look. "That's what Horikita Manabu said."

"Unless you think we're all wrong, then don't take it to heart."

With a wave of his hand, Aoyama indicated that the matter was over.

Peaceful time slips away unnoticed.

"Why haven't you finished forming a team yet, Morishita? There are only two days left until the exam." In the Class A classroom after school in the afternoon, Totsuka went to Morishita and stopped her from leaving the classroom.

As the days and months passed, the two weeks allotted by the school for forming teams quickly dwindled to just two days.

Of the 43 students in Class 2-A, not a single one has yet teamed up with a first-year student, and the same is true for Class 1-C, who is also collaborating with them.

Even so, the students whose academic performance was at the bottom of the class still felt uneasy, worried that they would end up with no one to team up with.

After all, there are 43 students in Class 2-A, while there are only 40 in Class 1-C.

"Ah, I almost forgot." With an expression as if he had just remembered, Morishita glanced casually at Totsuka and continued, "I understand, Totsuka Yahiko."

"Then you'd better resolve this as soon as possible."

Seeing that Morishita was about to leave after giving a casual answer, Totsuka continued to block her way.

The team-up rule is that you can only submit one team-up request per day, and if your request is rejected, you will be placed in a one-day cooldown period.

If he fails to form a team today, he will have a chance to make amends tomorrow.

"I'm on my way to resolve this now." Morishita replied calmly as he turned and left through another classroom door.

This time, Totsuka had no reason to stop her anymore, and could only watch her leave.

[Totsuka Yahiko, Matoba Shinji, Machida Koji.]

Leaving the classroom, Morishita's expression remained calm as he sent a list of three people to Tsubaki Sakurako.

For Tsubaki Sakurako, this list naturally included students from her own class who didn't need to be assigned to form teams.

The team formation has been delayed until now, which was something they had agreed upon long ago.

By this time, except for the students in Class 1-C, the academically excellent students had already been mostly bought up by Shiina and Horikita.

There is only one student left with an academic level of B or above.

Chapter 325 Undercurrents

"Is this what you mean, Aoyama?"

On the last day before the team's morning class, Katsuragi frowned as he went to Aoyama's table.

Just last night, most of the students in their class received team-up applications from students in Class 1-C, except for the three extra students.

However, one of the three extra names was a name that shouldn't have appeared.

"What do you mean? Tell me what's going on first." Aoyama was a little confused, as he hadn't done anything for this Special Exam.

Judging from Katsuragi's serious expression, it didn't look like a good thing.

"Of the three students in the class who haven't yet formed teams, one is Yahiko."

Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it wasn't Aoyama's intention. If Aoyama had Morishita to do that, things would have been difficult.

He lacked the confidence to persuade Aoyama to change his decision.

"Totsuka." Aoyama understood what Katsuragi meant.

As one of the students with the lowest academic performance in the class, Totsuka's partner needs to have at least a B- in academic performance to ensure that he won't be expelled.

If C-level student is paired with someone else, there is a risk of dropping out if they perform poorly.

Generally speaking, this should be the student with the highest priority in the class, but in the current situation, Totsuka has been abandoned and left to fend for himself.

"Let's keep things separate. While Yahiko may have made a mistake, I also believe that as a class leader, he should be more cautious in using the power he holds."

Soon, Aoyama, who had walked up Katsuragi Morishita, started arguing with Morishita.

"Then I'll let you be my student?" Morishita's tone was calm and his voice wasn't loud, but in the sudden silence of the classroom, all the students could hear him.

Katsuragi's expression changed. "That's not what I meant. I meant, isn't this punishment a bit too much?"

"Yeah?"

Morishita remained noncommittal, seemingly not taking Katsuragi's words to heart.

Katsuragi was at a loss for words, unable to reason with Katsuragi, and could only return to Totsuka with a dark expression.

"Students whose OAA evaluations do not improve by the end of this semester will be placed on the withdrawal waiting list."

"Currently, there is only one Totsuka Yahiko."

"The reason for being nominated is that he spoke ill of Aoyama Shiki and hasn't grown at all since first grade."

While the classroom was still quiet, Morishita suddenly stood up and dropped a bombshell, immediately eliciting whispers from the students.

Totsuka, who was singled out, even stood up and glared at Morishita, shouting in dissatisfaction.

"Morishita, you're talking nonsense. I didn't say anything bad about Aoyama -kun."

"The main reason is the lack of growth; the other is just an add-on," Morishita replied as he sat down. "If you don't want to admit it, fine. If you have any questions about my decision, please ask Aoyama Shiki."

"Katsuragi."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Totsuka first turned to look at Aoyama, hesitated before turning to Katsuragi for help.

"I think this plan is fine, what do you think, Katsuragi?"

Before Katsuragi could decide whether to help Totsuka, Aoyama spoke up to support Morishita.

After a moment's thought, he realized that Totsuka was just a chicken, deliberately used by Morishita to make an example of him.

Those who neither contribute to the class nor improve themselves are all put on the verge of expulsion, forcing the class not to be complacent and lazy.

"... I also think it's fine."

Despite having an excellent relationship with Totsuka, Katsuragi knew that the emergence of the dropout reserve was a good thing for improving the class's strength.

Moreover, he didn't have the ability to openly go against Aoyama.

"That's settled then. But you must inform that student immediately about being placed on the withdrawal reserve."

"Is this alright, Morishita?"
