Start with Hayasaka Ai

Chapter 9: Shinomiya Kaguya's Defeat

"Thank you for your hard work on the exam, Kaguya-san."

The perfect maid Hayasaka Ai handed over the special drink that she had prepared long ago.

When you give your all to an exam, your brain consumes a lot of energy, which needs to be replenished in time.

Kaguya Shinomiya took a few sips, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and a rare look of complacency appeared between her eyebrows.

"The chances of getting full marks in all subjects on this exam are very high. I checked every question in each subject twice to ensure that there were no mistakes. My essay was also a perfect performance. Both the approach to the question and the writing style were in line with the scoring standards."

These days, Kaguya Shinomiya has been studying very hard. Apart from sleeping, eating and washing, she has put all her energy into it.

This was the first time for her to take other people's challenges so seriously.

If it were any other field, even if it was Kyudo, which she was best at, she would definitely not have that eagerness to win.

It would be better to say that it doesn’t matter if you lose intentionally for some social benefits.

But when it comes to grades and test scores, the girl doesn't want to lose to anyone.

"Shirogane Yuxing... This is the first time someone has forced me to use my full strength. I'm sure I'll remember you forever..."

"But this time the winner must be me."

“We will definitely win!!”

……

"Lost?"

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the report card that had just been posted, and suddenly felt that the world was a little unreal.

Her score was 499, surpassing all her previous scores.

The one point deducted was probably because the examiner nitpicked the essay.

but!

but! !

She was only ranked second on the list, and the first place clearly read "Silver Yuxing 500 points".

Dream?

The noisy discussions around her made the girl feel dazed and dizzy.

"Baiyin... who is this guy? He's suddenly ranked first."

"I've never heard of this name before. Could he be from the mixed school? This kid is so terrifying."

"I know him because he's quite handsome. I even asked for his contact information, but he turned me down... Now it seems I should give it another try."

"I actually scored 500 points! Even the examiner couldn't find a single flaw. It's incredibly strong."

The students around were unfamiliar with the name Baiyin Yuxing.

Kaguya Shinomiya felt a little unsteady, so she leaned on the wall for support with one hand and clenched her other hand into a fist.

Why? Why, why!

Why didn't he get a single point deducted? Shouldn't the examiner have found faults in his paper? Or did he bribe the examiner, or somehow get the paper early?

Kaguya Shinomiya raised her head and subconsciously tried to find the guy in the crowd, but she couldn't find him after scanning many times.

Students can have a holiday on the day when the exam results are announced, but most students will come to school first to check their results.

Unless you feel that your grades are hopeless or you are extremely confident and have already anticipated the result.

Obviously, the number one ranked Baiyin Yuxing belongs to the latter. Could it be that he really got full marks in all subjects by cheating?

Kaguya Shinomiya was planning to ask the omnipotent Hayasaka Amu to steal Shirogane Miyuki's test paper.

Suddenly there was another commotion in the crowd, and a huge piece of paper was posted next to the ranking list, with the title of Shirogane Miyuki's composition "Snow Country" written on it.

This is the first time in the history of Xiuzhiyuan that a student's composition is posted separately!

Shinomiya Kaguya looked over carefully and couldn't help but whispered.

"The border is long and the country is snowy. The bottom of the night is white. The signal station is the car's stop."

Just these few sentences in the first paragraph were enough to shock Kaguya Shinomiya so much that her scalp went numb and her limbs felt like they were being electrocuted.

The higher a person's literary literacy is, the more he can feel the extraordinary nature of these few short sentences.

The first sentence uses the tunnel as a symbolic threshold, dividing reality and illusion, filth and purity into two worlds: the real world outside the tunnel carries worldly troubles, while the snow country inside the tunnel becomes a spiritual pure land.

The bottom of the night turns white in the second sentence, which makes the night seem more like a container. After the train rushes out of the tunnel, people still feel the continuous darkness.

Only when the light hits it does the snow appear white due to the reflection, and the night and the earth become instantly distinct, just in time to follow up the next sentence: "The train stopped in front of the signal station."

The tiny time difference between the light shining on the snow and the passengers in the car feeling the change to darkness was keenly captured.

"No wonder the teacher couldn't find any fault with it. He didn't deserve to lose. This opening alone is enough to deserve a perfect score. The teacher gave him 40 points because that's the maximum he could give."

Shinomiya Kaguya felt relieved.

It's like a student who went to Beijing to take the palace examination. He thought he had written a pretty good poem, but it turned out that Zhang Ruoxu was sitting next to him and had written "Spring River Moon Night", a single poem that surpassed all the other poems in the Tang Dynasty.

The spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide. The shimmering waves stretch thousands of miles, and there is no place where the spring river has no bright moon.

Just by seeing the beginning, I knew I was doomed.

When the gap is so huge, I don't feel jealous or unwilling, but only look up to and admire.

As for the other students who were watching, some of them could explain why the essay was good, but most of them were like pouring glutinous rice balls into a teapot. After trying for a long time, they could only sigh "This country is the best".

Longzhutao is also a member of the Sri Lankan people.

When I saw Baiyin's article and the score of 500, I took out my phone and entered the shopping app to choose a suitable maid outfit.

No matter how shameful it is, what I choose is still within the controllable range.

If Shirogane picked a sexy maid outfit, wouldn't she be torn apart on the spot?

◇

The next morning.

Baiyin Yuxing arrived at school early as usual, and an accident happened just as he opened the shoe cabinet to change shoes.

A huge amount of envelopes poured out like a tide and drowned him. It was an exaggerated scene that only appeared in anime.

"What happened? The charm bonus from getting full marks in all subjects shouldn't be that huge, right?"

Baiyin, who hadn't looked at the rankings yet, was a little confused.

To his confusion, a Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly appeared in the corner, as if she had been waiting there for a long time.

The girl explained, "The teacher posted your composition."

No wonder.

Even now when traditional literature is declining, once an article of exceptional quality appears, its influence is still like a tsunami.

Shirogane pulled himself out of the pile of love letters, looked at the girl in front of him, and said with a smile, "Looks like I win, Shinomiya-san."

Chapter 10 Do you choose me or her?

"Well, you win. I will join the student union as agreed." After a night's rest, Kaguya Shinomiya also calmly accepted her defeat.

"Are we going to the Student Union office now?"

"No." Baiyin shook his head. "What I'm asking you to do is not to join the current student union, but to join the student union I'm forming."

"what do you mean……"

Kaguya Shinomiya immediately understood the textual trap hidden in this agreement. If she wanted to fulfill her promise, she had to help Shirogane set up a student union first.

In other words, the position of student council president must be replaced by Baiyin!

What a scheming and ambition this is.

And the key point is that Baiyin does have the strength to match his ambition.

"If you want to be the student council president, what does the current president want to do?"

"Let him study abroad at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. That's his goal for becoming president anyway. Why not let him avoid a few years of detours? Shinomiya-san, you should be able to do that, right?"

"Of course." Shinomiya Kaguya brushed her long hair, her tone as cold as ever, "For the Shinomiya family, it's just a matter of a word."

"That's good."

The student council president has no grudge against Baiyin, so this best of both worlds approach is more in line with his standards.

As for the president’s own opinion…does it matter?

……

"No, Baiyin, are you serious? You actually invited these two in—"

The student council president was stunned when he saw Shirogane coming to the student council office with Kaguya Shinomiya and Ryujumo surrounded by people.

Could it be that the person he casually recruited was so strong? And could it be that his casual resignation was also...

"By the way, President, I have something to tell you about," Baiyin said. "We've arranged for you to study abroad at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. You can start packing now."

"Eh?"

The student council president suddenly felt a sense of disconnection, as if he was playing a game and skipping an important plot.

He's only in his second year of high school, why is he suddenly going to study abroad at a university in Brazil?

Although it is my dream to go to Brazil, a country rich in coffee, isn’t this way of realizing my dream a bit weird?

He looked at the cold and arrogant beauty Kaguya Shinomiya who was standing beside Baiyin, and did not doubt the authenticity of the news.

"...I understand. Now I will go explain the reason to the principal and complete the relevant procedures."

The student council president stood up with mixed feelings, walked over to Baiyin and patted him on the shoulder.

"But the next president still needs to be elected, so you have to be prepared."

"Well, I understand. Although I don't even know your name yet, I wish you a bright future."

"Thank you for your blessing, but after spending so many days together you don't even know my name!!!"

After complaining for the last time, the student council president packed up his personal belongings and left the office where he hadn't been sitting for long.

There weren't many things, just some coffee-making utensils, and one person could easily move them away.

The student union president took one last look at the office door and felt somewhat fortunate that he had only been in office for less than a month. If he had stayed longer, he would have been even more reluctant to leave.

Life is like this. You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.

I don’t know whether the accident is good or bad.

"boom."

After closing the office door, Long Zhutao took off her shoes and sat straight on the sofa.

"I feel like the sofas in the student union are more comfortable than on the rooftop~"

As the girl spoke, she placed her two well-proportioned and slender legs, tightly wrapped in black stockings, on the surface of the coffee table in a heroic manner.

He took out his cell phone and started playing games as if no one was around.

This caused Kaguya Shinomiya to frown slightly, "Longzhu-san, is it really okay to act so casually in a public place?"

"Why not? Besides, this isn't a public place. For the Student Union, the office is our territory. What's wrong with me doing this in my own territory?"

"Even if it's private territory as you said, it's still inappropriate when men are present, right?"

"It's okay, my panties won't show. I'm wearing safety pants."

The hem of Xiuzhi’s school uniform is designed to be quite conservative, so there is no need to worry about exposure.

Not to mention that Longzhu Tao is wearing the most hated male invention of the 21st century.

The girl naturally felt that she had nothing to fear.

But such an attitude undoubtedly made Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been educated as an aristocratic lady and a perfectionist since childhood, very uncomfortable.
