In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

Nangong Cheng saw that the atmosphere was just right, and there was no need to continue the conversation.

"We'll see how many points the class has left after the first month, and then we'll use our individual points to buy detailed information on the points deducted from Teacher Chazhu. We'll then see who dares to cheat under the circumstances of an open-book exam."

"If there really is such a person, then I'll ask Hirata and Kushida to handle the communication, since Horikita and I aren't very good at this kind of thing."

Although it was decided that personal points would be used to advance to Class A, that would be something to do during the third-year graduation season.

He will still be living in Class D for three years before graduation, so it would be good if the atmosphere in the class could be harmonious. Therefore, we should give them enough hope.

"Horikita and I actually hope that everyone can work together, because it will sound better when people talk about it, right?"

"So as long as everyone attends class seriously and is a good student, our D class will retain a lot of scores next month, and we will have a better chance of catching up with the A class."

After a series of grand promises, Hirata Yosuke and the others showed expressions of relief and anticipation.

But Horikita Suzune knew that this was just an excuse from Nangong Cheng, after all, this man's heart was not in Class D at all.

However, she wasn't foolish enough to point it out.

Because she also discovered that sometimes it's actually better for people to be a little ignorant, at least they won't have so many troubles.

At least it gives the people in Class D hope to move forward, instead of them giving up on themselves right from the start.

"I'm leaving. Don't bother me unless it's important."

Horikita Suzune tossed her hair and left gracefully, but before leaving, she subtly gave Nangong Cheng a look.

Nangong Cheng naturally had no intention of staying, and immediately called out to Sakura Airi, who had been standing quietly to the side.

"Sorry, Sakura-san, something came up today. I'll definitely go with you to buy a camera tomorrow!"

I just hope nothing unexpected happens tomorrow.

Nangong Cheng certainly didn't want Sakura Airi to say to him, "I've waited a long time, I won't wait any longer."

Then there's really no laughing matter.

As for Karuizawa Megumi...

Given the girl's excellent performance today, with a 100% participation rate, he naturally felt it would be inappropriate to show favoritism.

[Task issued: Send Nangong Cheng a selfie before midnight tonight]

[Task Reward: 100-500 points depending on Nangong Cheng's satisfaction with the photo]

[Punishment for mission failure: Take a set of at least 20 revealing photos and present them to Nangong Cheng]

Volume 1: Chapter 24. The student council has distributed spots, come and get yours!

The main entrance of the teaching building.

Nangong Cheng and Horikita Suzune successfully reunited.

"Let's go."

There were only a few reasons why Horikita Gakuen wanted to see him, and with Horikita Rin's message, Nangong Cheng already knew the answer.

Everything is progressing steadily and positively.

Horikita Suzune didn't say a word the whole way, and Nangong Cheng naturally wouldn't want to make a fool of himself.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance of the student council.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

Nangong Cheng pushed open the door.

The highly developed student council is very large, so large that it resembles the office space of a large company.

"Good afternoon, Chairman Horikita."

Nangong Cheng greeted him.

Putting everything else aside, Horikita Manabu is undoubtedly a capable person, having joined the student council in his first year and become its president in his second year.

However, his abilities are also limited.

Because he couldn't control Nan Yunya.

"Nangong Cheng, Class D, Grade 1... You've already made headlines at school in just a few days since the start of the semester. You're quite the surprise."

Horikita pushed up his glasses.

He glanced at Horikita Suzune, who was standing silently to the side, and continued, "The main reason I called you to the student council is to talk to you about what you did before."

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

Nangong Cheng stroked his chin, appearing thoughtful.

Anything you'd like to say...

"Is the school planning to cancel the behavior test in the first month?"

"..."

Horikita Manabu stared at Nangong Cheng for a few seconds before explaining, "Although your actions have caused a change in the established procedures, the exam will still proceed as normal."

Nangong Cheng nodded.

"Is there still any room for maneuver regarding what I had your sister tell you yesterday?"

"Of course."

Horikita Manabu crossed his arms in front of him, his gaze towards Nangong Cheng filled with a variety of emotions.

"Because the incident occurred on the first day of school, even if you reveal the school's secret on the second day, the whistleblower report is still valid in a strict sense."

"If you wish, we can file a case today."

Nangong Cheng shook his head.

While following formal procedures guarantees absolute enforcement, the potential benefits are likely to be less than those obtained through private settlements.

"I'll try to contact you privately first... I've finished stating my questions, now it's your turn, Chairman."

Horikita Manabu nodded, then turned his gaze to Horikita Suzune.

"Lingyin, you can go out first."

"Brother, I..."

"go out."

Horikita Suzune bit her lip, looking like she was about to cry at any moment.

Nangong Cheng is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see pear blossoms in the rain.

"President, there's no need."

"This is your sister, not a stranger."

As Nangong Cheng was saying this, he suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation: "By the way, are you from Chiba, President?"

Horikita Manabu paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Nangong Cheng smiled.

"Because you, President, actually care about your sister a lot, but you show it in a completely different way."

“I have a friend who is like that, so I asked him out of curiosity, and it turned out to be true.”

Chatting skills: I have a friend.

For those who are new to this technique or unfamiliar with it, they generally won't doubt whether the person in question truly has a friend.

Horikita Gaku is an example of this.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Nangong Cheng was right, because he was actually quite bad at expressing his emotions.

Otherwise, Horikita Suzune wouldn't have been led astray.

"So, what does Nangong think of my sister?"

"Hard to say."

Although Nangong Cheng had already guessed what Horikita Manabu wanted to say, let's not talk about how this topic was too far off.

Your tone, which sounded like an old father entrusting his daughter to someone, really shocked him.

Horikita Suzune, who was standing to the side, also turned her gaze to him, which was quite rare.

"She was excellent as a student, but she failed as a person."

"After learning about the school and having several interactions with her, I judged that the school probably thought she lacked teamwork spirit. If she could correct this extreme mindset, she could meet the standards of Class A."

Purely rational analysis, with absolutely no personal bias.

After all, Horikita Suzune's reputation can almost entirely be attributed to her own personality or ideological issues, and there's really nothing else to criticize about her.

Horikita sighed inwardly.

It's all his fault...

"Lingyin, is there anything you want to say?"

Horikita Manabu decides to give his younger sister a chance to prove herself and see how she will react to Nangong Cheng's evaluation.

"I……"

Horikita Suzune looked like she was hesitant to speak.

I dare not say.jpg

Horikita Manabu felt somewhat disappointed.

Having said all that, are you still unwilling to admit your shortcomings?

Nangong Cheng decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Actually, I talked to your sister once before, and I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like I see your shadow in her."

"Now it seems my intuition was right."

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Nangong Cheng had considered addressing Horikita Suzune's personality issues gradually, but...

Applying the traditional Chinese medicine theory of "treating a serious illness with a strong remedy," Horikita Suzune's personality problems have become quite severe at this stage, to the point that her assignment to Class D is one manifestation of this.

Serious illnesses require strong medicine.

"President, your sister probably became like this because of your influence. After all, there are often similar cases in my hometown."

“Young and naive children often see their older siblings as role models. Of course, it is also possible that they develop a similar mentality in a distorted comparative education environment. In any case, this will make them desperately imitate the best person in their minds, thus gradually losing the possibility of their own identity.”

Looking at the two siblings who had both fallen silent, Nangong Cheng gently swung down the invisible scalpel.

It's like tearing through a thin film of misunderstanding.

"She's like a shadow following behind you, but she mistook you for the light on her path, which caused her to go down the wrong road from the very beginning."

“She should become Horikita Suzune, not Horikita Manabu’s shadow.”

Dengdeng.

After Nangong Cheng finished speaking, he took a step back, as if to give the brother and sister some space to talk alone.

"I know what you were about to say, Chairman Horikita, but I think you need to resolve your internal conflicts first."

"What do you think?"

Nangong Cheng turned to the side, raised his hand and waved, not giving Horikita Manabu a chance to stop him.

"This is a rare opportunity, let's have a good chat."

"Don't let misunderstandings become regrets."

"boom."

The moment the door closed, Nangong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, lamenting that he was indeed not suited to be a proper person.

After pondering for a moment, he took out his phone, found Ichinose Honami's account profile picture, edited a message, and pressed send.

The student council has distributed slots, come and claim yours!
