My second life is a bit strange?

I want to be the god of the new world!

[To become a symbol of this era.]

At that moment, she was incredibly confident.

"A Feng~"

Eriri stood at a distance calling out, while Kaguya and Eriri stood by the roadside waiting for him.

"Of course, don't forget your love for the guitar on your journey. Now go back, your friends are waiting for you."

Kaede waved and walked towards Eriri and the others.

Goto mustered his courage, rushed forward, grabbed Kaede's sleeve, and shouted, "One day, I will fill the audience to capacity!"

Feng turned around and asked her with a smile, "Could you perform the Mango Mask for me again next time?"

"Ugh!!" The once dazzling Pochi-chan immediately blushed and covered her face with her hands, not daring to look at him.

All that could be heard was the sound of hearty laughter fading into the distance.

Once Feng's figure was out of sight, she calmed down and gently pried open the grass in the green belt with her hands: "I should try to overcome my social anxiety first."

Goto was dragged to a celebration party by everyone. Overhearing a conversation among passersby, she was reminded of her fear of society and uttered the famous line that if she couldn't make money playing guitar, she would have to live off her parents.

Kiku-senpai, the woman who was always drinking, advised her not to think too much and to be happy.

Essentially, it's the same as being like Feng: you have to have passion.

As expected, Kiku-ri-neechan is a good person.

Ah... my fried potato wedges were stolen... and I ate them all openly and honestly.

After returning home, Goto took a quick shower and lay in bed reflecting on what had happened that night.

"Should we ask the class monitor...?"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and sent a message to Feng.

"Has the class monitor gotten home yet?"

I had just placed my phone against my chest when I heard a ding-dong sound.

Feng's instant reply made her very happy.

"You're in bed, what's wrong?"

"I have some questions. My grades aren't very good, and I feel like I have little chance of getting into university. Would it be better for me to focus on music?"

"You're only in your first year of high school now, there's still time. You can learn some of the knowledge more systematically in college."

"Of course, these aren't the most important things. Do you know the three elements of success, Pochi-chan?"

Goto looked at the message from Kaede and was surprised to find that she used punctuation marks when typing, making it easy to read. She started to do the same.

"Talent, sweat, perseverance?"

Looking at this naive answer, Feng sighed, realizing that these were ultimately just children who hadn't yet entered society.

"Environment, opportunities, and connections—these are all things that universities can provide. The college entrance examination is very difficult, with over a billion test takers worldwide. After layers of selection, the people who end up sharing a dormitory with you are not ordinary people."

"You can apply for art majors and learn from the teachers who will guide you, which will save you a lot of trouble."

“Hongxia’s older sister is a good example.”

"Of course, I also have my own selfish reasons. As the class monitor, I hope that everyone in the class can go to university."

Goto realized the importance of going to university and quickly typed a reply: "I understand, class monitor. I will definitely study hard from now on."

"Yes, you must keep up with the teacher's pace. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

After exchanging goodnights with the class monitor, Goto scrolled through their chat history, pondered for a long time, and then fell asleep without realizing it.

Tonight's dream was exceptionally wild. She dreamt that she became a world superstar, and during the climax of her performance, she was interrupted by her class monitor, who twisted her ear and dragged her to study.

Chapter 134 New Commission for the Service Department

"So slow."

Kaede, with a straw in her mouth, waited for more than ten minutes in front of Eriri's house.

"Sorry~"

Eriri stuck out her tongue. The barbecue they ate together last night had given her an upset stomach, so she went to bed late and didn't get up in the morning, not even hearing her alarm clock.

The autumn air was crisp and clear; it was an unexpectedly beautiful day. There was still water on the ground, reflecting the drifting clouds in the sky.

"I remember when you were little, you were especially afraid to walk near these puddles."

"Because I always feel like there's something inside watching me."

"Maybe they still have them now~"

"Ugh, don't scare me!" Eriri swung her twin tails and whipped him, the tremors from their passing breaking the calm of the water.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Feng handed over all of his notes from his three years of junior high school to Xiao Boqi.

"Let's set a small goal first, how about Ueno?"

"Ueno! Ueno! Ueno!!" Goto's face turned pale, and his head kept shaking, leaving afterimages like a propeller.

You have to understand that Ueno University is known as the "University of Tokyo" of the art world! Its acceptance rate is even lower than that of the University of Tokyo, so I definitely can't do it with my level.

"I checked, and I won't go into detail about Mandarin, it's a must-take subject. Then we'll pick two more subjects and work hard together."

Kaede raised his fist, and Goto, seeing this, helplessly reached out and touched it with his.

"Yes."

During lunch break, Kaede and Kaguya were eating their bento boxes when a student council member suddenly appeared and called him out.

Qianhua had somehow donned a deerstalker hat and was holding a fake pipe. She took a couple of puffs, pretending to smoke: "Why do I have this feeling of déjà vu?"

"I feel the same way." (Kaguya)

"Senior Peach, what does the student council president want with me?"

"The student council is short-handed and wants to recruit you."

Feng's eyes twitched. Could you not be so blunt?

"Is it too late for me to run now?"

This time, when he opened the door, there were no spotlights shining on him, and the student council president looked at him with a smile.

"President, you don't look like a good person right now."

"Even you think I'm a disliked guy? I'm so sad." The president covered his face with his hands, pretending to be sad.

"But you're clearly smiling!! Can you please stop it for once?!"

Feng was speechless and sat on the sofa: "So what exactly did you call me here for?"

"You saw the grade-level assembly, right?"

"Hmm." Feng had heard that the first-year and second-year students in the student council were having a lot of unpleasantness.

"We're really short-handed right now, so I'm asking for your help. The things you do in high school are quite different from those in junior high. Get familiar with the process first, and then I'll hand it over to you after I leave."

"I want to know why it's me, whether it was in junior high or now." Feng wanted to know the answer.

The president stopped joking and became serious, leading him to the window where they looked down at the entire campus.

“We all grew up in a greenhouse called Shuchiin.”

“I have been observing you for the past three years, and you are different from others.”

“You’re different. You’ve been in the workforce, whether it’s competitions or jobs.”

The president walked to the desk, leaned on the chair, and said with utmost seriousness, "This position requires someone who has seen the outside world from a complete perspective. Please make sure we make good use of your knowledge."

Feng was moved by his words. This guy was different from the others; he wasn't standing from the student's perspective, but from a higher level.

"Okay, but I'll make it clear beforehand that I'll only come to help when I have free time, and I'll prioritize club activities after school."

"no problem."

Back in the classroom, Chika couldn't wait to pester him with questions.

"What do they want with you?"

"Get familiar with the work, and you'll take over the student council next semester," Feng told them in detail.

"Doesn't that mean we can play together again?" Chika danced with joy, surrounded by pink bubbles.

"I didn't say I was looking for you," Feng said with a mischievous grin, unable to resist teasing her.

Chika puffed out her cheeks and put her hands on her hips: "Hmph, then I'm ignoring you for the whole day."

Qianhua half-opened her eyes and found that Feng was just smiling at her, without saying anything to try to salvage the situation.

She immediately deflated, grabbing his arm and shaking it repeatedly: "Please, let me into the student council, please."

Feng was so dizzy from being shaken that he quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, stop shaking me."

During afternoon class, Kaguya secretly passed him a note.

Would you choose me?

Of course, everyone will be included.

Kaguya looked at the words on the note and smiled beautifully.

After school, Kaede carried her schoolbag and went to the Service Club with Hikigaya. On the way, she saw a post about Goto's performance.

"You're both socially awkward, can't you learn from Goto? He's trying to step out of his comfort zone."

Hachiman rolled his eyes: "Is that social anxiety? Performing outdoors with a guitar, in my mind that's already social awesomeness. Besides, I'm not socially anxious, I just don't like to interact with other people."

Yuihama: "Huh? That's Goto-san! She can play the guitar! She's so cool!"

"I wonder if I'll get any requests today."

When Feng opened the door, he saw a girl wearing a boy's school uniform standing in front of Yukinoshita, whispering something.
