PS: As pointed out by reader Xia, Mitsui's name should actually be Honoka. I read the novel quite a while ago, so I don't remember clearly. However, there's a lot of content in the earlier chapters, making it a bit troublesome to find and correct. I will correct it as soon as possible. Starting from this chapter, future chapters will be error-free. Thank you, reader Xia, for pointing it out!
After Yunyi woke up, Mayumi Saegusa stopped dwelling on the matter. After all, it was a student assembly, and it was best for them to resolve their issues privately.
As Mayumi Saegusa began to speak about the important matter, the auditorium immediately fell silent. What she was about to say was exactly what she had promised to do.
After a semester of easing tensions, the relationship between the first and second courses had improved considerably. Now, with Mayumi Saegusa proposing to abolish the unequal regulations, almost no one present objected.
The number of votes in favor of the resolution also relieved Mayumi Saegusa. She had finally completed the most difficult task at hand and handed over the much easier tasks to the next Student Council, Azusa Nakajo.
When it was Azusa Nakajo's turn to give her speech, her slightly nervous demeanor nearly caused her to make a mistake. Fortunately, the students understood her personality, and there was no burst of laughter. Otherwise, Azusa Nakajo's inaugural address would have been the most disastrous in the history of the First High School.
After the Student Council handover ceremony, it was the Clubs Management Group's turn. Unlike the Mayumi Saegusa, the Clubs Management Group's Katsuto Jumonji, was quite strict when handling affairs. Coupled with his imposing physique and mature face far beyond his years, the majority of students at the First High School held him in awe.
The successor to the Clubs Management Group leader was Gyoubu Hattori. Although his performance in the Nine Schools Competition was somewhat disappointing, his strength was indeed top-notch at First High School. Therefore, the students naturally did not have much objection to him succeeding Katsuto Jumonji.
Finally, it was time for the succession ceremony of the Public Morals Committee.
Compared to the Student Council and Clubs Management Group, students are most concerned about the successor of the Public Morals Committee. After all, this is the organization that most people have the most contact with in their daily lives. If the chairman of the Public Morals Committee is replaced by a controversial person, it will not be a good thing for the students.
Backstage, in front of the passageway, Mari Watanabe looked at Mayumi Saegusa and said, "Are you sure there won't be any problems with what I'm doing?"
"Don't worry, Mari, even if Yunyi-kun has any objections, I'll help you sort it out," Mayumi Saegusa said confidently.
"Really? Mayumi, can I trust you?" Mari Watanabe asked anxiously.
" Mari, you're going to hurt my feelings if you ask me that." Mayumi Saegusa looked at him with a resentful expression.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you then." Mari Watanabe made up her mind, picked up the prepared speech, and stepped into the passageway.
When she stepped onto the stage, Tatsuya Shiba, who was sitting in the audience, reacted first. He quietly moved his body towards Leonhart on the other side, as if trying to get as far away from Yunyi as possible.
This action left Yunyi somewhat bewildered. What had he done to Tatsuya Shiba while he was sleeping? Why was this guy reacting like this?
However, as soon as Mari Watanabe began to speak and his voice reached his ears, a possibility immediately came to mind.
Yunyi turned to Tatsuya Shiba and said, " Tatsuya, tell me honestly, did Miyuki give you any advance notice?"
Tatsuya Shiba remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Seeing his actions, Yunyi knew exactly how things would unfold without even needing to ask any further questions.
"That vixen needs to be taught a lesson again!" Yunyi pinched his brow, feeling a headache coming on.
Wasn't that proposal in the Student Council room rejected? How did it turn out like this? And if he's really made the chairman of the Public Morals Committee, aren't you afraid he'll cause trouble?
As time passed, Mari Watanabe's speech came to an end. She put down her prepared remarks, glanced at the students in the auditorium, swallowed hard, and mentally prepared herself before speaking, "Now, I announce that the person who will succeed me as chairperson of the Public Morals Committee after my resignation..."
"It's Liu Yunyi from Class E of the first year!"
Mari Watanabe's voice was amplified and reached everyone's ears. But those sitting below felt as if they were hallucinating or hearing an echo.
"Just now, Chairwoman Watanabe asked who his successor is?" someone asked incredulously.
"First year? Or Class E? Course 2 Student?" Some people were confused and questioned the fact that the Course 2 Student.
"Idiot, stop talking!" The friend of the first one immediately interrupted his rambling.
"How could it be Liu Yunyi!?" Some people couldn't accept this fact.
"Oh no, this guy became the class president in his first year, does that mean he can be re-elected for the next few years? Does that mean my remaining two years of school life are going to be a nightmare?"
Regardless of the murmurs below, Mari Watanabe continued, "Next, please welcome Liu Yunyi to the stage to give a speech!"
Yunyi's gloomy expression made the surrounding classmates feel somewhat frightened.
Apart from Tatsuya Shiba, no one expected that he would become the chairman of the Public Morals Committee!
Just when everyone around thought Yunyi was about to explode and things would get out of hand, Yunyi suddenly stood up. He looked at Tatsuya Shiba and said, " Tatsuya, this isn't over yet. You just wait! You have six months, and you'll see how I deal with you!"
Tatsuya Shiba looked completely bewildered; he felt that strange, inexplicable creature trampling over his soul once again.
"Hey, I only got the news a few hours earlier than you, how can you blame me?" Tatsuya Shiba tried to defend himself, but it didn't seem to get the result he wanted, because at this moment, Yunyi had already used a teleportation spell to instantly teleport from his original spot to the stage!
Yunyi's sudden appearance beside her startled even Mari Watanabe! Although she had witnessed Yunyi's spatial teleportation magic firsthand, it was just for him to give a speech; was it really necessary to pull this stunt?
However, what Mari Watanabe didn't expect was that Yunyi's move actually silenced all the discussions below.
