The Feast's Finale: I Want to Be the Strongest Jiahao

His gaze shifted away from Morishita Lan.

Uchiha's thoughts sank into the system backend, and his fighting spirit surged!

Fighting divine lightning barehanded—I was way too awesome!!!

He genuinely felt that being a Jiahao wasn't so bad after all.

I want fighting spirit!

I want power!

The boy planted his hands on his hips, wearing an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"I want to become the strongest Jiahao. Who's in favor? Who's against?"

"..."

The moment those words came out!!

The classmates who knew him all covered each other's mouths!!

Hold it in!! Don't laugh!!

Uchiha, you... you're such an old Jiahao. Who could keep a straight face when you opened your mouth like that?!

Suddenly.

Two figures burst onto the scene!!

The chairman and Chabashira stormed over together, furious.

Sakayanagi Narumori grabbed Uchiha by the back of the neck, his sparse hair, like a winter mountain wilderness, drawing all the attention.

"You, come here. I'm treating you to tea!!"

Chabashira hadn't found a ten-meter-long broadsword, but she had dug out a pair of nunchucks she hadn't used in years...

She directly bound Uchiha's elbows together, her face icy.

"A 5,000-word self-criticism. You are not leaving school today until you've finished it."

Oh ho!!

A perfect double-team educational beatdown!!

"..."

Dumbfounded, dumbfounded, utterly dumbfounded!!!

Uchiha had barely enjoyed himself for a few seconds before he was dragged away like a prisoner under escort.

Yamauchi and the other students nearly laughed themselves sick at the sight!!!

"Did anyone catch that Jiahao's change in expression? It was hilarious, hahahahaha!!"

"Enough! He's not Jiahao! Don't say those two words again. Don't your faces hurt?!"

"True. Why not call him the Rain Emperor? Short for Rain Fist Emperor."

"Bro, the way you two are taking this seriously is way too funny. Jiahao, Jiahao, I said it, so what?! You gonna hit me?!"

"..."

Just then, a white-haired figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd and strode up onto the platform.

Then...

She began punching.

Everyone froze. Another new character?!

"Platinum-blonde long hair, tall and straight figure, a languid yet beautiful face, taut and smooth muscle lines on her arms, waist, and calves..."

"I remember now! I saw her photo in the school paper. That's senior Kiryuuin Fuka!!!"

Ike said, "I'm going to date her."

Ike said confidently, "I'll win her over in three days!"

"..."

"???"

Kushida thought, Pfft... I'm dying!!

At that moment, Kiryuuin's eyes gleamed with cold sharpness. She raised her martial artist's hands, her knuckles tensing as her sleeves cut through the air.

Even as she practiced her punches, she muttered under her breath.

"Praise the mysterious Hao~"

Ayanokoji said, "..."

Everyone else said, "..."

The entire venue fell silent for over ten seconds.

Yamauchi felt deeply unbalanced.

"Jiahao has fangirls too?!!"

Kiryuuin slightly raised her elbow to guard her ribs, curled her fingertips into half-fists, and struck like flowing water, combining hardness and softness.

After witnessing Uchiha's divine might, the hot blood in her body, dormant for so long, had reignited!!

Junior Jiahao had taught her what it meant to be free of distractions, what it meant to focus on oneself...

She gained insight through self-reflection and resolved to carry out the will of Hao.

She wanted to know how far she still was from reaching the pinnacle.

Koenji shuddered, his eyes fixed tightly on the senior who was continuously throwing punches onstage.

When people began imitating Jiahao's behavior, it meant they were embarking on the path to becoming stronger...

This phenomenon was generally called—

"Moment of Hao."

She actually had the same heart that pursued beauty as I did.

Then...

"Senior, please enlighten me!!"

He strode onto the platform and tossed his jacket aside.

The beautiful brother and beautiful sister fought fiercely onstage, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Morishita Lan shouted, "Stop fighting already!!!"

The next second.

The cute girl declared boldly, "Are you two scratching each other with your fists?!"

"Tch, boring. I'm going back to watch WBA."

Jiaxin, with her purple twin ponytails, slipped away wearing a thoroughly bored expression...

"???"

Ayanokoji's mouth twitched. Run, they're all lunatics.

Student Council.

Horikita Manabu first glanced at the secretary, Tachibana Akane, before continuing to repair the water-damaged speaker.

"What were you about to say?"

Tachibana Akane took a deep breath. "President, it's like this..."

Because the president had been busy repairing electronic equipment, he had missed Jiahao's godlike moment.

She told him everything from beginning to end.

Starting with Uchiha fighting in the rain.

Then the arrival of the thunderstorm.

Then the mysterious person saving Jiahao, and finally, Jiahao casually playing with lightning without dying.

Tachibana Akane spoke in great detail.

She added a few details from time to time.

Especially when she described Uchiha shattering lightning with a single punch, her expression was complicated.

Because that had been far too Jiahao!!

"..."

After hearing it all, Horikita Manabu's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This kid was a real talent. He had to bring him into the student council.

"Where is he?"

"In the chairman's office." Tachibana Akane put away her clipboard and laughed. "He's been punished and is writing a self-criticism."

Horikita Manabu's expression turned strange at that.

Even someone this badass had to write a self-criticism?!

He immediately put down the electronic equipment in his hands, pushed up his glasses, and said, "Let's go meet him."

"Should we bring him a welcome gift?"

Tachibana Akane was meticulous. Since they were recruiting someone, they couldn't exactly show up empty-handed. That would make them seem insincere.

Horikita Manabu thought for a moment.

"Bring the boxing gloves from the safe!"

"Are you sure?!" Tachibana Akane covered her mouth in surprise. "Those are a rare pair of gloves personally signed by boxing champion Tyson!!!"

The president was really going all out!

But... was he worth it?!

Horikita Manabu stood up without looking back.

"We don't make empty promises. We only offer real money."

Chairman's Office.

At last, evening arrived.

Uchiha felt like all the energy had been drained from his body. His fingers were numb and aching.

Writing a 5,000-word self-criticism on his first day after transmigrating—there was no one else like him!!

The moment he stepped out, he ran into a group of Class D students and heard more than a few people pointing and whispering.

"Look, Uchiha's out of prison!!"

The masked boy said, "?"

What did they mean, out of prison?!

I hadn't broken the law, and I hadn't harassed any girls. Did they seriously think I belonged in jail?!!

Then...

What they said next made it even harder for Uchiha to hold it together.

"I haven't seen him for one day, and I'm already so bored."

"Yeah, yeah. I can barely hold it in anymore. After peak happiness comes nothing but endless emptiness. The aftereffects are unbearable—I need entertainment right now!!"

"How about we make him sing Wish Sticky Note again?"

"Don't. Could we try something new for once?!"

Ike said, "Shh, you're talking too loudly. Be careful, Jiahao might hit you."

Yamauchi said, "Right, right. Let's talk somewhere else."

Uchiha's mouth twitched wildly. Were they training a dog here?!

And Ike and Yamauchi, why didn't they move a few more steps away? I could hear every word, damn it!!

At that moment, Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane happened to arrive.

The student council president stopped in front of the hooded boy.

"Your name is Uchiha Jiahao, correct?"

Uchiha nodded.

"Yeah."

Horikita Manabu handed him the boxing gloves and got straight to the point.

"Join the student council. This gift is for you. Open it, and there'll be a surprise inside."

"You'll be exempt from the written test and interview. The one remaining secretary position is yours."

Everyone else's mouths immediately fell open in O-shapes!!!

"Oh my God!!!!!!"

Tachibana Akane's eyes went blank. "Huh?!!!"

A freshman was going to be on equal footing with me?!

???

Tachibana Akane's beautiful eyes trembled wildly, and she suddenly felt intense jealousy toward Uchiha!!

The president was personally inviting you to join the student council?!!

And you were exempt from both the written test and interview??

There had never been a precedent for this in the school's history, right?!

Just as they thought Uchiha would agree immediately, instead...

Uchiha looked at Horikita Manabu, his brows slightly furrowed.

"The student council? Even dogs wouldn't join. Is it as awesome as the board of directors?!"

"Move aside. The board's upper management is waiting for this stock god to arrive and guide them."

Horikita Manabu said, "..."

Tachibana Akane said, "..."

The other students said, "???"

Horikita Manabu was stunned!!

What?!!

Was this junior always this arrogant when he spoke?!
