"Yes, I would be very happy to."

This time, Shiba Miyuki did not show her previous hesitation or resistance, standing up directly to accept the offer.

Immediately after, Saegusa Mayumi turned her gaze toward Kudo Mitsunobu.

"As a matter of official procedure, Kudo-kun, are you willing to join the Student Council and serve as vice president?"

Kudo Mitsunobu maintained the same posture as Shiba Miyuki, bowing his head deeply.

"I will do my absolute best to fulfill the role."

"Miyuki, your position will be secretary. Azusa will explain the specific duties to you."

Shiba Miyuki sat back down and nodded, indicating she understood.

"President, I've told you before, don't call me Azusa in front of our juniors." The petite upperclassman puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Speaking of which, Watanabe-senpai, wasn't it you who had Mayumi-senpai tell me yesterday to bring Tatsuya-kun along to the Student Council today?"

Kudo Mitsunobu looked at Watanabe Mari, who had been watching the scene unfold from the sidelines.

"Oh! That's right."

Watanabe Mari also recalled the matter she had brought up yesterday. However, since this was a sudden flash of inspiration she'd had after Saegusa Mayumi explained the plan to her, there were still some things that needed to be confirmed in detail.

"Shiba. I recall you telling me yesterday that you can see through magic activation sequences, right?"

Although Shiba Tatsuya was a bit confused, it was indeed something he had said. Furthermore, since Kudo Mitsunobu had mentioned possessing a similar skill, he figured that having such an ability wouldn't be seen as quite so shocking in the eyes of others.

"That is correct."

Upon hearing Shiba Tatsuya's affirmative reply, Watanabe Mari turned to Saegusa Mayumi. "Mayumi, the quota for Disciplinary Committee members appointed by the Student Council—there's still one vacancy left from last year's graduates that hasn't been filled, right?"

"Mari, didn't I tell you that this was still—" As Saegusa Mayumi spoke, her tone suddenly trailed off.

It was as if she had suddenly thought of something; her wine-red eyes sparkled with an unusual light, and she stood up abruptly, slamming one hand directly onto the table.

Nakajo Azusa was so startled she nearly fell off her chair.

"What a brilliant idea! Mari, this kills two birds with one stone."

"Student Council members must be Course 1 Students; that's a rigid rule, so there's no way around it. But the Disciplinary Committee doesn't have such strict requirements."

"Kudo-kun, this is what you were thinking too, right?" Watanabe Mari said, looking at Kudo Mitsunobu with a faint smile.

"Yes, I thought about it on my way back. Watanabe-senpai, you don't seem like the type to do anything unnecessary."

"So, if you specifically asked me to bring Tatsuya-kun along, there must have been a purpose behind it."

"That was the only reason I could think of. I'm glad I was able to think the same way as you, Watanabe-senpai."

Kudo Mitsunobu said, scratching his head.

"How nice! To think you'd have the same idea as Mari."

"But it's a pity, Mari already has a boyfriend, so you don't have a chance!"

Although Saegusa Mayumi said this with a smile, for some reason, Kudo Mitsunobu felt a cold, sharp gaze constantly aimed at him.

"Oh my! Mayumi, are you jealous?" Watanabe Mari wore an expression of someone enjoying the show.

The others remained silent, watching the drama unfold, though Shiba Tatsuya's brow was furrowed; he had a sinking feeling that he was about to hear something he didn't want to.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Saegusa Mayumi turned her head away as if sulking, muttering under her breath.

"Alright, let's get down to business, Senpai. The lunch break will be over soon." Kudo Mitsunobu glanced at his watch and urged them on.

Saegusa Mayumi turned back and shot Kudo Mitsunobu a sharp glare before continuing. "Then, this year's Student Council appointment quota will go to Tatsuya-kun, Mari."

Despite the length of the conversation, not much time had actually passed, which led to a situation where Shiba Tatsuya's bad premonition had come true in the very next second.

"Please wait a moment. What about my own wishes? Besides, I have no idea what the Disciplinary Committee actually does."

Shiba Tatsuya stood up immediately to speak. His main purpose for coming to Magic High School was to accompany his sister and ensure her safety, so he had no desire to take on such a high-profile role.

Moreover, the Disciplinary Committee sounded like a massive hassle that would surely consume a lot of his private time.

"Regarding the Student Council work, we haven't explained the specific situation to your sister or Kudo-kun either, have we!"

How should one put this? People who usually don't talk much are always incredibly sharp when they do make a snide remark.

Whether it was the retort she had just made to Shiba Miyuki or what she was saying to Shiba Tatsuya now, her words were cutting to the extreme.

"Tatsuya-kun, only Student Council members and Disciplinary Committee members are allowed to carry their CADs with them at all times!" Since yesterday, Kudo Mitsunobu had noticed that Tatsuya was a person with extremely high levels of caution.

Someone with such high guard would never honestly hand over their CAD to the school for safekeeping during the day, because in their eyes, such an action was equivalent to handing their life over to someone else.

He judged that the CAD Shiba Tatsuya handed in was definitely one he didn't use, and that he must be finding ways to keep his primary CAD on his person.

Therefore, he judged that Shiba Tatsuya would certainly be swayed by this statement.

In fact, as he expected, after hearing this, Shiba Tatsuya's initially resistant attitude seemed to soften.

Because Kudo Mitsunobu's words had truly struck a nerve; having to hide his CAD every day was indeed quite troublesome.

Shiba Tatsuya pondered for a moment, then sighed.

"So, what are the specific duties of the Disciplinary Committee? What do I need to do?"

His gaze landed on Kudo Mitsunobu first.

Kudo Mitsunobu wore the expression of someone watching a good show.

He shifted his gaze further to the right.

Not a single person was willing to answer his question.

The last person.

Once again, the routine request for attention and votes; I hope for a good result.

The second update has been delivered.
