Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

As Horikita Manabu introduced them, Suzuki Toru's gaze also fell on these student council officers.

Excluding their first year, the entire student council has only thirteen members, seven of whom are second-year students.

Once the third-year students step down next semester, key positions in the student council will likely fall into the hands of Nan Yunya.

Horikita asked them to introduce themselves, and then said, "Since you've just joined the student council and aren't familiar with the situation, I think we should start with miscellaneous tasks for now. The seniors will guide you through the work."

This is to be expected, since there aren't many vacancies in the student council.

However, judging from the number of people, it means that the student council is not usually too busy. This configuration might even be too much for a high school with no more than 500 teachers and students.

Just as Suzuki Toru was lost in thought, he saw Horikita Manabu staring intently at him with piercing eyes.

"Suzuki, you should be the vice president."

Chapter 47 You're Next

Initially, Toru Suzuki wanted to refuse Manabu Horikita, since this position wasn't something he could simply accept just because you wanted him to.

In front of so many people, he would inevitably feel like he was chosen by the insider. What would his colleagues think of him in the future?

However, seeing Horikita Manabu's serious and earnest expression, Suzuki Toru could only nod.

"Huh, making a freshman the vice president?" Tachibana Akane next to her was a little dumbfounded, and her question was the same as almost everyone else's.

How did a newcomer become a student council officer?

To be honest, it was their first time meeting, and they were naturally very surprised.

"The position of vice president was already vacant, so it's good to let Suzuki fill in." Horikita Manabu said calmly. As the president, he could directly appoint someone as vice president, and no one else had the right to object.

Akane Tachibana was well aware of this, but she just couldn't quite understand why.

According to past practice, the student council vice president is usually held by two people. Strangely, Horikita Manabu has never appointed a second vice president.

Apart from Nan Yunya, the position of vice president has been vacant for a long time.

I never expected that Horikita Manabu would appoint a newcomer as vice president today.

Joining the student council on the same day, being promoted to a leadership position, and even becoming vice president, is incredibly fast.

“A newcomer whom the chairman has taken a liking to, I think is more than capable of this position.” Hiroki Fujimaki, the accountant Horikita Manabu mentioned, gave a friendly smile.

The second-year student leaders all looked at Nan Yunya, who simply smiled.

"Since it's Horikita-senpai's decision, I don't care. To be honest, I personally agree with the decision."

As they talked, Nan Yunya's gaze met Suzuki Tetsu's. His smile grew wider, exuding a sense of composure.

However, in Suzuki Toru's eyes, this vice president was clearly provoking him.

It's as if it's saying, "I'll teach you a lesson sooner or later, but I'll let you be smug for now."

Tsk, you're next.

Suzuki Toru casually looked away; he didn't seem to care about being a vice president.

It was his business whether he cared or not, but both Katsuragi Kohei and Ichinose Honami couldn't help but show expressions of considerable shock.

Especially Katsuragi Kohei, who originally thought that Suzuki Tetsu could not only join the student council, but also take out a million personal points to join the student council, which was already enough to make people dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Horikita Manabu valued him so much that he was appointed as vice president right away.

The next level up is the student council president!

The more Katsuragi Kohei thought about it, the more puzzled he became. No matter how you looked at it, Suzuki Toru shouldn't have anything he needed help with.

What exactly are these so-called requirements?

"These next few days, Suzuki, you'll stay by my side. Ichinose and Katsuragi will be under Akane Tachibana's care," Horikita Manabu made the arrangements.

In reality, since the school almost monopolizes the major student activities, the student council's work mainly involves mediating disputes among students and managing various clubs, etc.

Well, in any case, this student council is indeed much smaller than those of other high schools.

I doubt they even have a disciplinary committee member.

After all, there are cameras all over the street, and no student would dare to break the school rules.

……

Today was just an introduction session; Horikita Manabu didn't make any arrangements. After everyone had almost left, he looked at the only person who remained.

What are your impressions of the second-year student leaders?

“Nagum has a lot of control over his seniority; these executives are basically led by him,” Suzuki Toru said. “But, Chairman, is this all you wanted to ask me?”

If Horikita hadn't spoken up and told him to stay, he would have already caught up with Ichinose Honami by now.

Hearing his tone, Akane Tachibana was a little annoyed. First-year students, indeed, how rude to their seniors!

Horikita Manabu paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I didn't discuss becoming vice president with you beforehand."

Akane was stunned. What was going on? Her student council president was actually apologizing to someone?

Or should I apologize to a newcomer?

"Although it's a bit sudden, it won't affect me much. The fact that you agreed to let me join the student council means that you think highly of me, and Nagumo will be interested in me to some extent."

Suzuki Toru could tell what Horikita Manabu was thinking. In fact, he and Nagumo Masa had already had a minor disagreement, and being nominated as vice president today only added fuel to the fire.

Horikita Manabu was unaware of all this; he simply wanted Suzuki Tetsu to rise to power quickly so that he could distract Nagumo Masaru from his attention.

Although he felt that Nagumo Masaru's rise to power was inevitable, Suzuki Tetsu's presence would somewhat hinder Nagumo Masaru's reforms.

"In the second year, Tonakawa and Mizowaki were Nagumo's classmates and his most trusted advisors, while Kiriyama and the others were students from other classes."

Horikita Manabu produced a document he had prepared beforehand and gestured for Suzuki Toru to take it back and study it.

Suzuki Toru glanced through the list and found that it mainly consisted of Nagumo Masaru's confidants in the student council, the same officers Horikita Manabu had just mentioned.

"Although I work with Nagumo in the student council, I don't know much about his situation in the second year. However, there are still students in the second year who regard Nagumo as an enemy."

"Who?"

"I'm sorry, I can't reveal this name to you right now. He's very wary of Nagumo, and if it's exposed, the consequences could be hard to control."

Although Suzuki Tetsu didn't know much about Nagumo Masaru either, monarchs' attitudes toward rebellion were not much different, and most of them would be punished with the death penalty.

Hmm, at this school, it's probably about dropping out, right?

Suzuki Tetsu thought for a moment, then casually asked Horikita Gakuen, "If someone does something that doesn't comply with school rules, what kind of punishment will the school give?"

His question surprised Horikita for a moment before he replied, "It depends on the situation, but usually it's a suspension."

"Can I use my personal points to avoid punishment?" Suzuki Tetsu continued to ask.

Horikita Manabu's expression became even stranger, and he bluntly asked, "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to find out more beforehand." Suzuki Tetsu then asked, "I have an idea, and I'd like to ask the chairman for a favor."

"You're really not being polite!" Akane Tachibana couldn't help but glare angrily at Toru Suzuki.

You're not satisfied with just being given a vice president position? You actually want the student council president to help you? That's too arrogant!

Suzuki Toru glanced at her. To be honest, this senior was quite cute. She had her hair in a bun, which made her face look even more delicate. She had the energy and vitality that a young girl should have.

However, she seemed a bit arrogant because she was a senior student.

[Are you kidding me? I'll pin her down on the bed and teach her a lesson!]...

So wishes can be updated in real time?

Suzuki Toru was a little surprised.

"I need to hear what you want to do first," Horikita Manabu said calmly.

As the president of the student council, his stance was indeed conservative, and he did not want to change too much about the school.

Horikita Manabu disagrees with and dislikes Nagumo Masaru's absolute emphasis on strength, which borders on individualism.

This would lead to more intense competition among students, even within the same class.

However, being conservative doesn't mean Horikita can't be flexible. If the risk isn't too great, he's willing to do something for Suzuki Toru.

Well, since he helped you this time, it'll be your turn to help him next time.

Chapter 48 Class 3-C

The next morning, Toru Suzuki arrived at the entrance of Class 3-C.

Good morning, Sato-senpai.

Upon hearing his voice, Sato Keisaku instinctively turned around and saw a boy he had never seen before standing behind him.

"Do you know me?" Sato Keisaku sized up the boy. He was good-looking; this kind of guy would probably be popular with girls.

However, he was certain he had never met the other person.

"Nice to meet you. I am Suzuki Toru from Class A, Year 1. The president told me that you are the leader of Class C, Year 3, so I would like to take the liberty of having a little of your time."

A first-year student?

Sato Keisaku was taken aback, wondering what this freshman was doing in the third-year area, and the name seemed somewhat familiar.

After a moment, Sato Keisaku suddenly remembered the news he had heard yesterday, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"You're the freshman who was quickly promoted to vice president by Horikita?"

"Your information network is truly impressive, senior." Suzuki Toru was somewhat surprised.

Sato Keisaku put aside his contempt. After all, this freshman was a student in Class A, and he was the vice president right from the start, which meant that even Horikita Manabu had to admit that he was so capable.

"What's the matter with you?"

The areas for each grade are not connected; apart from the cafeteria and dormitories, you'll probably only run into each other in the commercial street.

Without special reasons, almost no one will go to other grades, since doing so would be too conspicuous.

In fact, when Suzuki Tetsu called out to him, quite a few people looked over curiously.

"The president told me that the school will cash out individual points before graduation at a ratio of 5:1." Suzuki Tetsu's eyes were serious. "I can cash out the seniors' individual points at a ratio of 2:1. What do you think, Sato-senpai?"
