In Classroom of the Elite, My Future Daughter Provides Assists

Since Sakayanagi Arisu was a student of Class A, she had already pondered the peculiar nature of this school during the entrance ceremony and had even gained the recognition of some students in her class; thus, by directing and mobilizing these students, she should be able to obtain important intelligence much faster.

"So, what is your purpose for coming to the student council today?" Shirogane asked.

In truth, he did not think Sakayanagi would answer him directly.

Because as long as Sakayanagi knew about the class competition, leaking intelligence to students from other classes would naturally not be a wise move.

"I'm here to print the roster of all the students in the grade," Sakayanagi Arisu said. "After all, since there is going to be a class competition, isn't it important to understand the intelligence of one's own class and other classes?"

Uh.

Alright then.

So, doesn't this mean you already understand just about everything?

Terrifying.

And is this the final boss that Class C has to face?

Even Shirogane felt the pressure. If Ryuen's violent consolidation had a chance to unite a scattered class into a single, obedient entity, then as for Sakayanagi Arisu, she had already secured the recognition of the students in her class.

It should be said that the students in her class were also very sensible, starting to take action as soon as Sakayanagi gave her commands.

The division of labor was perfectly in place.

So, this Class A was very dangerous.

They had a powerful leader, and the subordinates were very obedient.

"Looking at it this way, has Classmate Sakayanagi already successfully taken control of Class A and become its leader?" Shirogane asked, feigning a relaxed tone.

"Not quite." Classmate Sakayanagi gently gripped her cane, seemingly revealing a hint of regret. "Although I would like to become the class representative, there are also students in the class who want to take a more conservative path."

Oh.

So that means you are part of the radical faction.

I couldn't tell at all.

She clearly looks small and sickly, yet her offensive power is incredibly fierce.

However, this also means that Class A isn't actually fully unified internally, so as long as there is disagreement, it is a good thing for the other classes.

Just as he was thinking this, the student council door in front of them suddenly made a creaking sound.

Then, the tightly closed door was opened from the inside.

Consequently, both Shirogane and Sakayanagi looked toward the silhouette of the boy with short black hair revealed by the door opening.

The Student Council President!

Unsurprisingly, this was the Student Council President who had given the speech at the entrance ceremony, the super-strong senior who hadn't had a single student expelled even after reaching the third year, and the class representative of Class 3-A, Horikita Manabu.

"What's the matter? You were chatting quite happily at the door, why aren't you coming in now?" The Student Council President issued a soul-searching question.

"No reason," Shirogane said.

"Well—" Sakayanagi maintained her cute demeanor.

However.

Everyone realized one thing.

That was, the soundproofing of this student council door was truly terrible.

ps: Today's update is here, asking for stats, um, razor blades are still not needed for now, thank you everyone.

Promoting a big shot's book.

Synopsis: He is in the Honkai: Star Rail world, but Bailuo cannot enjoy it.

[Day 1, being pressured by Ruan Mei to research the Path of Propagation]

[Day 2, being pinned down by Herta in the Simulated Universe for research]

[Day 3, being pulled by Tingyun to experience service techniques]

[Day 4, being taught posture by Robin hand-in-hand]

Kafka, Black Swan, Sparkle, Firefly, Silver Wolf, Asta...

For six consecutive months without rest, Bailuo's heart turned to ash.

Just when he was in utter despair, the real person from the surface world arrived!

Looking at the cold-faced Ruan Mei, Bailuo finally found his savior, hugging Ruan Mei's long white legs and starting to wail.

Little did he know, all the memories and emotions the NPCs had for him were synchronized with the real person in the surface world.

Bailuo: Danger!

Chapter 020 Horikita Manabu: Why don't the freshmen of this year follow the script!

Thus, Shirogane and Sakayanagi entered the student council office.

Although the door's soundproofing was poor, the office was still quite grand, divided into a general work area and the Student Council President's private office.

There was also a dedicated reception room.

However, the only person in the office right now was Horikita Manabu, who served as the Student Council President.

Although he was alone, he still exuded a sense of oppression.

Shirogane Miyuki took a moment to observe the other's appearance.

He hadn't paid much attention during the entrance ceremony, but now he realized that the man did indeed share some facial similarities with Classmate Horikita from Class D.

Both had black hair.

However, unlike Classmate Horikita, who gave off a cold and aloof vibe, the Student Council President felt much sharper.

And upon learning that Horikita Manabu was also the representative for Class A in his third year, one would realize that this person was truly terrifyingly strong.

Not only did he lead his class to a significant lead, securing over 200,000 points in monthly living expenses, but he also maintained an excellent record with zero dropouts in his class.

The fact that he possessed genuine strength, that the surrounding students were willing to listen to and follow him, and that he ultimately became the Student Council President, proved that the school administration also recognized his capabilities.

After watching Shirogane and Sakayanagi walk in, Horikita Manabu introduced the layout of the student council room.

"Do you wish to move to the reception room?" Horikita Manabu asked.

His gaze was calm and carried a hint of indifference as he spoke.

Yet, Shirogane already understood.

This was the Student Council President testing their purpose for coming here. Generally speaking, any student could visit the student council, but the first years were a special case. Because first-year students were not yet aware of the true nature of this school, and because they had to undergo the Behavioral Standards Exam during their first month, they had to be treated with caution.

Information about the school could not be leaked.

Yet, the work of the student council still had to be carried out.

Therefore, he had used his words to conduct a probe.

If Shirogane and Sakayanagi answered that they wanted to go to the student council's work area, it would mean they had matters requiring the council's assistance; if they chose the reception room, it would be like typical newcomers just arriving.

Thus, depending on the area they chose, his method of dealing with them would differ.

"I am here today to print the roster for the entire grade," Sakayanagi Arisu said proactively. "So, I won't be needing the reception room."

Won't be needing it.

In other words, she was here to demand the services of the student council.

"During yesterday's homeroom, our teacher mentioned that private points can be used as currency in this school, and as long as one has enough points, anything can be purchased."

"So, Student Council President, I would like to print the first-year roster. Name your price."

Name your price, you say?

Hearing Sakayanagi's request and response, Horikita Manabu glanced up at her.

Because hadn't she already figured out the true nature of this school?

Although he had vaguely felt that this year's students were somewhat special, it was rare for someone to grasp the reality of this school on only their second day of enrollment.

"Class A, first year, Sakayanagi Arisu. Physically frail, but superior in both academic ability and intelligence. You were the third-place student in the entrance exam."

"Although you have only been enrolled for two days, you have already secured a certain number of supporters in Class A."

"During the first period this morning, you proactively asked your homeroom teacher if paying enough points would allow him to disclose the plan for ultimately obtaining the rewards advertised by the school."

"Am I correct?"

"Sakayanagi."

Horikita Manabu had returned to his desk, his elbows resting on the surface with his fingers interlaced in front of him.

He projected an imposing presence.

The content of his words also carried immense pressure.

The first two sentences could be attributed to him reciting a file, but the latter two were extraordinary; it was as if he had complete mastery over Sakayanagi's movements, even knowing what she had said in class.

That was truly terrifying.

"It seems there are quite a lot of cameras in this school," Classmate Sakayanagi replied, her face devoid of panic, maintaining a calm demeanor.

"..." Horikita Manabu did not continue speaking at this moment.

He had confirmed that Sakayanagi must have known the true nature of the school, or at the very least, had guessed it quite accurately.

And there were indeed many cameras in the school, placed there by the administration specifically to observe and evaluate the students' performance.

After all, they provided free tuition, living expenses, and were even willing to provide incredibly generous rewards to qualified students; it was impossible that they would do all this for nothing.

The school administration would observe and constantly update their evaluations of the students to confirm their growth.

"So, Shirogane Miyuki, for what purpose have you come to the student council?" Horikita Manabu chose to ask someone else.

[This Student Council President is quite strong.]

The Narration System in Shirogane's mind became active.

But she wasn't wrong; this Student Council President was indeed quite strong. If one could attribute Horikita Manabu remembering Sakayanagi's information to her being a top student in Class A, Shirogane and Classmate Sakayanagi coming to the student council shouldn't have been something he knew in advance. Yet, Horikita Manabu could identify their names immediately and provide intelligence, which meant he had known beforehand or perhaps even memorized the information of every first-year student... or maybe even the entire school.

"I am here to inquire about the requirements for joining the student council," Shirogane said. "As a student of Class C, I hope to make some contributions to the school."

"Just to make some contributions?" Horikita Manabu looked over sharply.

If it were a case of having some doubts about this school and wanting to come to the Student Council for verification, that would still be understandable.

And that was probably the extent of what an ordinary freshman could grasp.

Yet, you are even more outrageous.

By saying things like "I am just from Class C" and "making contributions to Class C," doesn't that mean you have already grasped the essence of this school?

You have actually started planning how to add bargaining chips for your own class in the class competition.

Horikita Manabu's mind flashed back to the file information of Shirogane Miyuki.

Shirogane Miyuki had enrolled as the top student in the written exams, but due to deficiencies in athletic skills and physical control, combined with a lack of interpersonal skills during middle school, he was ultimately placed in Class C.

Judging from the file, he was still a promising talent.

But this talent's performance was a bit abnormal.

"The model of this school's Student Council is similar to the outside world, with appointments and dismissals based on the will of the Student Council President."

"And once the Student Council President is replaced, all Student Council members will be dismissed."

"However," Horikita Manabu said. "To join my Student Council, you need to earn my approval; to be precise, you must demonstrate that you are excellent enough."

"Normal students require a one-month assessment, so come back in a month," Horikita Manabu said.

"I see." Classmate Shirogane nodded.

He did not seem disappointed by the rejection.

"..." This made Horikita Manabu frown slightly.

"Then I will move on to the second matter," Shirogane said. "I am here to file a report."

"A report?"
