"Therefore, the Student Council President even possesses the authority to alter school regulations to a certain extent."

"Moreover, the Student Council President also holds the power to appoint and dismiss the majority of the committee chairs within the school."

"However, my Disciplinary Committee is different."

Watanabe Mari took over from Saegusa Mayumi and continued.

"My Disciplinary Committee is formed by three students recommended by each of the following: the Student Council, the Club Alliance, and the faculty. So, in a sense, my authority is equal to Mayumi's."

Shiba Tatsuya and Shiba Miyuki nodded again to indicate they understood.

"This can be considered an annual tradition; the top-ranking freshman is highly likely to be invited to join the Student Council, primarily to cultivate a successor."

"Although freshmen who join the Student Council are trained as successors, it doesn't mean they are guaranteed to take the position, though the probability is quite high."

"That is why, generally, the Student Council only accepts one first-year student each year."

Shiba Miyuki and Shiba Tatsuya's eyes drifted involuntarily toward Kudo Mitsunobu.

Kudo Mitsunobu smiled without the slightest hint of awkwardness, "I am that 'exception.' Alright, let's continue listening to the President."

"In that case, President Mayumi, you must have entered the school as the top-ranking freshman!"

Kudo Mitsunobu even took the opportunity to compliment Saegusa Mayumi.

"Yes."

Saegusa Mayumi replied softly, her face flushing. Although she was frequently praised by her elders and admired by her peers, Kudo Mitsunobu's compliment still left her feeling somewhat flustered.

"Ahem... So, Junior Miyuki, I would like you to join the Student Council."

"Are you willing to accept the invitation?" Saegusa Mayumi clenched her right hand into a fist, held it to her mouth to cough, composed herself, and continued.

Shiba Miyuki cast an inquiring look at Shiba Tatsuya, and Shiba Tatsuya responded with an affirmative expression.

After receiving the signal from Shiba Tatsuya, Shiba Miyuki fell into a brief silence. When she looked up, her expression was somewhat agitated.

"May I ask, President, do you know my brother's entrance exam scores? His written exam scores were perfect."

Saegusa Mayumi nodded, "I know! It's strange, as there had never been a student with perfect written scores before, yet this year there were two."

After saying this, Saegusa Mayumi glanced at Kudo Mitsunobu. Kudo Mitsunobu secretly shook his head, signaling Saegusa Mayumi not to reveal that he was the other one.

Saegusa Mayumi blinked in return to show she understood.

The Shiba siblings were already somewhat wary of him; if they knew his true scores, their guard would surely be raised even higher, which was not what he wanted.

"Two?"

A question mark appeared over Shiba Miyuki's head, and her expression grew flustered. Originally, she had intended to use her brother's excellent written exam scores as a reason to recommend him for the Student Council.

She wanted her brother to have a better, larger stage to display his talents.

Shiba Tatsuya's expression was equally shocked. He knew his own situation well; he was only able to grasp so much knowledge at this age thanks to his superhuman brain.

Yet, there was actually someone else capable of doing the same thing as him.

Saegusa Mayumi's gaze was not overly obvious, and Shiba Tatsuya's attention was not fully focused, so his identity remained unexposed for now.

The First High School only published a list of comprehensive scores; individual scores were sent only to the students themselves.

Shiba Miyuki was currently caught in an internal struggle, unsure if she should continue with what she had planned to say.

However, after a moment, her emotions overcame her reason.

Furthermore, she did not believe that the unknown student could be more outstanding than her brother, because in her heart, her brother was the strongest and most perfect.

Except for the fact that her brother was a blockhead.

"I am very grateful for your invitation to join the Student Council, and I feel deeply honored."

"However, would it be possible for my brother to join the Student Council as well?"

"If it involves clerical work, I believe my brother, who achieved perfect scores on his written exams, would be more suitable, as this is unrelated to practical skills; knowledge and judgment are more important."

Shiba Tatsuya covered his face and sighed.

Saegusa Mayumi also felt troubled and didn't know how to respond, as the junior before her seemed to be speaking without thinking.

However, Ichihara Suzune did not share Saegusa Mayumi's reservations and spoke sharply.

"There are two conditions for joining the Student Council. Do you know what they are, Junior Shiba?"

"First, only one first-year student can join, which is generally the top-ranking freshman. If the top student declines, it passes to the next. Of course, this is an unwritten rule and can be broken in special circumstances."

Shiba Miyuki's face brightened, but Ichihara Suzune's next words made her lose heart again.

"Second, Student Council members must be chosen from Course 1 Students. This is not an unwritten rule."

"It is a necessary requirement. If one wishes to force a change to this rule, it would require a decision by the General Student Assembly, where the entire student body participates, to amend the regulations."

Chapter 12: A Cold Glint

"Therefore, it is impossible for us to hold a special election for something like this, especially now that the number of Course 1 and Course 2 Students is equal."

"The prerequisite for a vote to pass is two-thirds of the total student body, so you see, it is simply impossible for this system to be approved, do you understand?"

Ichihara Suzune's tone was steady, devoid of the slightest fluctuation.

"I see, I understand. I am truly sorry for causing you seniors such trouble." Shiba Miyuki's expression also calmed down, and she spoke with a look of shame.

"Clap, clap, clap."

Saegusa Mayumi clapped her hands to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere in the room, drawing everyone's attention back to herself.

"Then, let me ask you once again."

"Miyuki, are you willing to join the Student Council!"
