Joining the Student Council.

It could serve as a certain deterrent.

However.

[This Student Council President Horikita is quite interesting.]

[He is completely different from his younger sister.]

The Narration System in Shirogane's mind became active.

Shirogane agreed with this sentiment as well.

The Student Council President Horikita before him was indeed interesting; despite always speaking cold words, he turned out to be a person with a delicate heart.

The reason was that Horikita Manabu had agreed to let Ichinose join the Student Council and immediately arranged for Tachibana Akane to handle the procedures for her subsidy.

But for Shirogane, it was just, "Shirogane, why are you still here? You don't officially join the Student Council until tomorrow."

So, since Shirogane would join the Student Council tomorrow, the subsidy would only start being issued next month.

Yet, he was giving Ichinose special treatment right now.

The reason for this special treatment was likely because Ichinose was choosing the path of spending 20 million points to protect her classmates—a very difficult path—so he was providing some insignificant support.

However.

There was something Shirogane was curious about: did the Narration System think Horikita was super cold?

He felt the other party was actually fine to get along with; as long as you didn't factor in Kushida, you wouldn't feel Horikita's coldness at all.

"So, Shirogane, what are you trying to prove again?" Horikita Manabu shifted his attention to Shirogane.

"Do you feel that the position of miscellaneous affairs is too low?" Horikita Manabu said.

In fact, judging from Ichinose's performance just now, her adaptability, courage, and the social skills she displayed could already be considered excellent.

On top of that, she was the student who ranked second in the written exams out of the 160 freshmen, which earned her extra points.

And since the miscellaneous affairs position Shirogane received was above that of a Disciplinary Committee Member, did he feel it still wasn't enough?

"My goal is to join the Student Council," Shirogane said. "But I have discovered that Student Council President Horikita is a person who evaluates others based on ability."

"Then, it should be fine for my position to be raised a little, right?" Shirogane said.

"?..." Secretary Tachibana Akane looked over in instant astonishment.

"..." Horikita Manabu.

Horikita Manabu looked at him, "If your ability truly meets my requirements, then it wouldn't hurt to promote you."

"Tachibana, the position of secretary is still vacant, right?"

There were only a few positions in the Student Council, but the number of people chosen could be plural.

Currently, there was only one secretary position in the Student Council, which was held by Tachibana Akane.

It was indeed possible to add another one.

However, they seemed to have underestimated Shirogane's ambition.

After discovering that Ichinose had successfully entered the Student Council.

Shirogane felt that he might be able to bet on something big.

Furthermore.

Having learned of Senior Nagumo's ambition from the Narration System, once Student Council President Horikita stepped down or even graduated, it would likely be difficult for anyone to appear who could contend with Nagumo, who controlled an entire grade level.

Therefore.

Shirogane naturally had to bet on something big.

"My goal is not to be a secretary," Shirogane said.

?

"What are you trying to say?" Horikita Manabu asked again.

"I want to join the Student Council," Shirogane said. "And then, become the Student Council President."

Launch Announcement, 40,000-word update burst

The book launches tomorrow at 11:00 AM.

Didn't I say updates were scarce? So I made some preparations.

At that time, there will be 8,000 x 5 chapters.

That is 40,000 words; I hope everyone won't bail on me.

And as usual, I'm opening a 24-hour bounty. It runs from now until 11:00 AM tomorrow.

Current stats: 459 monthly tickets, 5,794 recommendation votes, 152 blades.

For every 100 monthly tickets, I will add 2,000 words upon launch.

For every 50 blades, I will add 2,000 words.

If I get 500 recommendation votes, I will add 2,000 words.

I will guarantee a massive update of 40,000 words on the day, with any excess spilling over into the next day.

Also, I'm asking for blades and monthly tickets. This book doesn't have much exposure; I checked the rankings after hitting 10,000 words, and I was 15th. I checked again, and I'm about to fall out of the top 30. As for monthly tickets, I'm at 26th.

I need a wave of monthly tickets to help out, brothers—let's charge back into the top ten!

Ying ying ying.

Chapter 060 President Horikita: Shirogane Miyuki, are you trying to replace me?

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

But is a student council member who doesn't want to become the Student Council President not a good member?

"Are you trying to take my position?" Horikita Manabu said, his eyes becoming deep and sharp.

"Not exactly." But Shirogane Miyuki said. "I want to succeed your position. When you step down, I want to serve as the new Student Council President."

"That is still too bold," Tachibana Akane said.

And Ichinose, who hadn't left yet, also looked at Shirogane Miyuki in surprise. Just a moment ago, when President Horikita mentioned there was still a secretary position open, she already thought that was impressive enough.

As it turns out, Shirogane Miyuki, your goal is actually to become the Student Council President directly?

"Let him finish," Horikita Manabu said, calming down. "Tell me what kind of strength you possess."

"Just as you said, I am a person who uses strength as the standard for evaluation. This is my requirement, and it is also the requirement of this school."

"Therefore."

He paused and added, "If you want to become the next Student Council President, then show me your strength!"

"You need at least five points that can convince me," Horikita Manabu said.

"..." Shirogane Miyuki.

Shirogane Miyuki began to organize his thoughts.

Wanting to become the Student Council President was not a rash, impulsive decision; it was because becoming the Student Council President would grant him an advantage.

The authority of the student council and the Student Council President at this school is immense. Moreover, among all previous graduates, the presidents have always come from Class A.

In other words, if one can have a Student Council President as a classmate, the probability of that class maintaining its status is very high.

Of course, this doesn't mean that once you become the Student Council President, you start abusing your power. Rather, if you hold the highest authority, you can block others from trying to abuse their power.

What is certain is that obtaining the president's position is definitely a positive move.

Of course, it could also crush Senior Nagumo's strange ambitions and protect the students he knows from being troubled by him.

"In terms of class performance, my class rose from Class C to Class B in one month, which is something previous classes likely couldn't achieve," Shirogane Miyuki said.

"Acceptable," Horikita Manabu replied, resting his chin on his left hand as he gave his approval.

"And in terms of personal data, I ranked first in the entrance exam," Shirogane Miyuki continued.

"The difficulty of your entrance exam can only be considered average. Even getting first or second place on it is not something to be proud of," Horikita Manabu said.

"Ugh." Ichinose, who hadn't left yet, felt like she had taken an arrow to the knee.

Her audible reaction made everyone look over.

"N-nothing," Ichinose said quickly, telling them to continue.

In truth, she felt a bit sad.

Because Ichinose's academic ability was actually quite good, and she had managed to get second place in the entrance exam. She felt it was a hard-won achievement, only for the president to say the exam wasn't very difficult.

However.

"Although I say that, no matter the difficulty of the test paper, being able to get first or second place is still worth recognizing, as there were other students taking the assessment with you," Horikita Manabu continued. "And you stood out among thousands of candidates."

Although the president said that, Shirogane Miyuki felt something was a bit strange.

Because there were many students who took the entrance exam at the time, but only 160 students were ultimately admitted, who were then divided into four classes.

However, it cannot be said that these 160 students were so powerful that they crushed the other eight hundred-plus candidates.

For example, in Shirogane Miyuki's own Class C, he didn't understand it before, but after spending a month together, he could basically confirm... 90% of his classmates were academic failures.

Some students could only score twenty points or so.

Could such grades really crush the eight hundred people who took the exam? One must know that Ikusei High School is very famous, and the number of spots is fixed, so often only students who are confident in themselves apply.

So, as expected, the evaluation criteria for selecting students were not as one-sided as just looking at grades. If they only looked at grades, some of these students wouldn't be at this school at all.

But now was not the time to consider that.

"I have another reason for wanting to run for Student Council President."

At this moment, Shirogane Miyuki took out the small notebook he carried with him.

On it were two sets of data.

A 1210

B 780

C430

D200

and

A1400

B780

C500

D350

As members of the Student Council, both Tachibana Akane and Horikita Manabu knew exactly what this was.

These were the class evaluation point standings for the second-year students over the past two months.

"The first set of data represents the second-year students' scores when the freshmen first enrolled, while the second set shows their standing after the special exam in April."

"Senior Nagumo is the vice president of the Student Council," Shirogane said. "And regarding the point adjustments after the second-year students' recent special exam, every class except Class B gained points. Classes A, C, and D all saw increases, with Class A even pulling ahead of Class B by a margin of over 600 points."

"Since Senior Nagumo was only invited to join the Student Council by the president this year when we freshmen enrolled, given this timing and these results, I strongly suspect that Senior Nagumo used his authority as vice president to cheat."

The air in the room fell silent once again.

Ichinose, who had been slacking off, curiously observed President Horikita's expression, but the president did not speak immediately.

"I thought you would bring up some other advantage," Horikita Manabu pondered for several minutes before finally speaking.

"And yet, this is the point you chose to present." Horikita Manabu rested his fingers on the table and tapped three times.

"Nagumo Miyabi of the second-year Class A led his class from Class B to Class A last year. According to the data you provided, he has already stabilized his class's position in Class A. However, whether such exam results should be categorized as cheating is another matter."

"There is no need to worry about that."
