Nishida Yuki sat in the Student Council office, watching the scene before her with pleasure.

Several senior students stood beside her. They were all Student Council members whom Nishida Yuki was about to dismiss.

As the Student Council's advisor, Shimono Otome sat nearby, smoking.

"We hereby lodge a strong protest! The Student Council should follow its rules and regulations. How can you just replace people whenever you please?"

"That's right! What gives you the right to make us resign with one sentence? Even though we're third-years, there are still underclassmen in the second year."

"By merit, the next Student Council President should be inherited by your seniors."

"If you make us resign with a single sentence and completely clear out the entire Student Council, we cannot accept it."

"Even if it is an order from the principal, our Student Council will not accept it."

"Give us a reason—one that is convincing enough!"

"Don't look down on us seniors!"

"The Student Council is not a tool for you to play with as you please!"

"We demand a student council meeting! Let everyone judge your actions, Nishida!"

"..."

Not long after Akimoto Yoichi left the principal's office, the Student Council had also learned the news.

Nishida Yuki would become the next Student Council President, and the current Student Council would be dissolved.

Every current member of the Student Council would be dismissed. Not a single one would remain.

The new Student Council members would all be arranged according to Nishida Yuki's wishes. Upon receiving the school's notice, the Student Council members immediately protested.

They learned from the Dean about Nishida Yuki's identity. The largest shareholder of Izuki Academy was Nishida Yuki's family.

Therefore, making the daughter of their major shareholder the little Student Council President was a matter of little effort.

If Nishida Yuki wished it, she could even become the principal.

However, the Student Council members were unwilling to be so humiliatingly replaced, because the Dean had said, "If you want to keep your Student Council, then you can only persuade Nishida Yuki and make that Young Lady change her mind."

Thus, these senior members of the Student Council went looking for Nishida Yuki, while Nishida Yuki played hide-and-seek with them for a while.

She teased them as they anxiously searched for her, smiling as she watched their figures from afar.

However, when she passed by the cafeteria shop, she spotted Akimoto Yoichi and his group and lingered for a moment. As a result, she was caught.

And so, the current scene had come about.

"It seems that you seniors have misunderstood something." Nishida Yuki sat in the President's seat, looking down on these Student Council members.

"What have we misunderstood? Nishida, please make yourself clear. We believe we would do a better job than you."

Takasu Takao, a refined-looking man wearing glasses, spoke with confidence.

Looking at the Student Council President, Nishida Yuki laughed disdainfully. "Not everything is judged by results. This society is often driven by personal connections, though of course, if you possess enough strength, that is also acceptable."

It was a statement very fitting for a Young Lady from a zaibatsu family.

However, to these high school Student Council members, such words were unbearably harsh.

But did Nishida Yuki care? No. She did not care about the feelings of these Student Council members at all.

"The law of the jungle applies to humans as well. You are weak, so now I will devour you."

"Because you are weak, I will strip away what you possess, including the ideals and lives you have held so dearly."

"Stop saying such useless things. You cannot oppose me. The principal, the Dean, and even this advisor are on my side. Unless you want to make this issue public and then be forced to leave school."

The Student Council President and the other members could not help looking toward Shimono Otome, their advisor, who was sitting nearby and smoking.

Shimono Otome chose silence. She looked up at the ceiling and admired the chandelier in the Student Council office.

That attitude was enough to explain everything.

The reason this advisor was here was to control the situation and ensure that Nishida Yuki would not be violently attacked by these enraged Student Council members.

The school truly was indulging Nishida Yuki. All the rules and morality they had been taught were crushed beneath her foot in this moment.

"Think about it. If something like that happened, what would the News Club write in tomorrow's headline? It would say that senior students were obsessed with privilege, clung to the power of the Student Council, and even caused a conflict with the school. With such terrible conduct, it would certainly be difficult for them to get accepted by a good university in the future."

Nishida Yuki spoke these dark truths without the slightest psychological burden.

Her originally youthful and beautiful face now wore the expression of a villain.

Watching the Student Council members before her clearly grow frightened and begin to retreat, Nishida Yuki curled her lips in contempt.

Ever since she was born, she had known that she was different from others. Her father was weak, and her mother was a caged bird.

If she had grown up beside parents like that, Nishida Yuki might have become much like these Student Council members before her.

Therefore, to ensure the continuation of the Nishida Zaibatsu, Nishida Yuki had lived with her grandmother since childhood and received the education of the woman who controlled the zaibatsu.

Her grandmother's educational methods were strict, even cruel to the young Nishida Yuki. She had to learn not only every kind of etiquette and knowledge, but also possess sufficiently powerful strategic ability.

Still, Nishida Yuki had indeed grown into an outstanding leader and had already taken on some decisions and affairs of the Nishida Zaibatsu.

For Nishida Yuki, attending high school was simply a form of play, a chance to rest and find amusement.

She had absolutely no need to come to Izuki Academy. In her eyes, every student here was as childish and ignorant as a child.

Even regarding so-called love, Nishida Yuki, like her grandmother, regarded men as pets, toys, and tools for passing on the Nishida Family's genes more effectively.

In fact, with her appearance and background, she had never encountered anyone who rejected her.

Oh, except for one person.

Akimoto Yoichi's figure appeared in Nishida Yuki's mind. His behavior and personality had completely exceeded her expectations.

She had thought he was a rebellious, violent idiot, yet he kept talking about wanting to study?

Had he never looked in a mirror? Had he never seen what he looked like? How could he say not to disturb his studies?

He had even been rough with her. That was the first time Nishida Yuki had felt so weak and powerless, as though Akimoto Yoichi would pin her to the ground in the next moment. That sense of humiliation was impossible for her to forget.

Therefore, Nishida Yuki wanted to play a Student Council game.

"Then let us hold an election! I demand that the entire school vote for the next Student Council President. Nishida, don't tell me you're afraid?"

Takasu Takao, the Student Council President, had not given up yet. He played his final card.

"Oh? An election?" Seeing him raise a topic she had already anticipated, Nishida Yuki put on an expression of startled surprise, though the corners of her eyes could not help lifting.

Seeing Nishida Yuki's reaction, Takasu Takao grew even more confident.

He clenched his fists and began speaking as though delivering a speech.

"That's right. Every Student Council President and Vice President is chosen through elections."

"If Nishida wants to become the next Student Council President, then she should also do so through an election. Otherwise, even if you become Student Council President, no one will accept you."

"You may still become the next Student Council President, but for the next three years, you will not be welcomed as President. But if Nishida still does not care, then there is no problem with giving you the President's seat."

After speaking in one breath, Takasu Takao let out a heavy sigh, and the Student Council members immediately felt invigorated.

If the school stood behind Nishida Yuki, then they would use all the students' support to protest.

This was the final move that they, as students, could think of.

"Oh? Then should I also choose a Vice President? The President and Vice President campaign for everyone's votes as a one-plus-one combination, right?"

However, their thoughts had already been anticipated by Nishida Yuki.

Nishida Yuki had already laid her pieces on the board.

Her lips curved with delight, and excitement and anticipation danced in her eyes. Nishida Yuki had already begun looking forward to what expression Akimoto Yoichi would make.

"My Vice President has actually already been chosen. I accept your challenge. Let us hold an election."

In the classroom, Akimoto Yoichi suddenly shivered.
