My older sister is a villainous rich girl

I can't see anything.

If one could see a person clearly simply by looking at them, then human nature would not be considered "unpredictable."

“For example…” Chris drawled out the last syllable.

"For example, you secretly strive to become an excellent playwright, and you've secretly written a new script. You want me to take a look, but you're worried that I won't like it?"

Wayne couldn't help but laugh. "You're overthinking it."

He reached out and ruffled Chris's hair, messing up her carefully styled hair.

"Aaaaaah! Wayne, I'm going to kill you!"

Chris's screams of despair echoed from inside the room.

……

Chris has always cherished her soft, dazzling blonde hair, which has almost become her personal trademark, and spends a considerable amount of time grooming it every day.

Perhaps Wayne went too far that day, because Chris was so angry that she didn't speak to him for several days.

Wayne had only one thought about this.

Is it really necessary?

It's not like we're leaving right away; if we sleep one night, the next day will still be a mess.

But Chris clearly wouldn't accept his excuses and was determined to make him realize his mistake.

"Hey, Wayne, you and Chris are at odds again?"

Gavin kept winking and making faces at Wayne, which made him look even more lewd.

“…It’s just a minor problem.” Wayne slumped on the table and waved his hand weakly.

After a period of confinement, Gavin seems to have returned to his former self.

He smugly rubbed his head and said, "Let me tell you, girls definitely need to be pampered more."

Wayne rolled his eyes at him.

This guy is pretending to be a dating guru again; he's clearly forgotten the pain of past mistakes.

"It's nothing, really."

"Occasional bickering can actually help strengthen a relationship," Wayne consoled himself.

The two were chatting casually when Tasia walked in from outside the classroom.

"Wayne, the teacher asked me to bring this to you." She handed over a booklet.

Upon noticing Tasia approaching, Gavin raised an eyebrow, instantly becoming more alert and even straightening his back.

"Tasia," he greeted her with a smile, "you've become even more beautiful after the holiday!"

Wayne clearly saw Tasia tremble slightly, then reveal a complicated expression.

She was still not used to Gavin's flippant way of greeting her.

“…Thank you.” After giving Gavin a perfunctory reply, Tasia chose to talk to Wayne to get out of the awkward situation.

"It seems to be a budget allocation table for various club activities. The budget for this semester needs to be prepared for distribution, and the amount needs to be verified by each club again."

This information is not publicly displayed; instead, it is distributed privately to the heads of various student organizations. If any problems arise, the school authorities will be contacted.

Under these rules, weaker clubs are completely ignored, and it is difficult for them to snatch resources from more popular clubs.

However, the Lily Society naturally did not have such concerns.

Every time, the result of the distribution is that Lily gets the meat while everyone else gets the soup, and this time is no exception.

Wayne started looking down from the Lily Society's overwhelmingly high funding in the first row and finally saw the Student Council's name near the end.

"—Is the student council about to disband?"

He blurted out those words.

Chapter 515 Then you can be the one to take the role.

The student council, which once held considerable influence among the general student body, is not much better off than a "mobile club" that is about to be abolished.

The table, showing that even the most basic headcount subsidy couldn't be raised, starkly demonstrates that no one expects the organization to continue existing.

Many organizations enhance members' sense of identity or consolidate their position by organizing various activities.

Whether it's providing a fixed venue for activities or distributing activity funds entirely to the club for internal use, the aim is to encourage all students to work together as a group.

Therefore, those with better family backgrounds and stronger abilities will naturally stand out from these groups and gain both fame and fortune.

The academy is pleased with this outcome.

In this way, many important talents were discovered.

In other words, some people are destined to be at the top of the pyramid, while others will inevitably have to be at the bottom.

This is not even subject to their own will.

Unbeknownst to many, these well-thought-out mechanisms have successfully divided a group of seemingly identical people with the same level of education into different classes.

The roles of superiors and inferiors are clearly defined early on in this academy, which prides itself on being a model of education in the kingdom. Upon graduation, everyone is able to immediately recognize their place, quickly accept the life they are meant to have, and find a suitable path for themselves.

Furthermore, those who have experienced bullying in the academy are often more convinced of the legitimacy of these rules than ordinary people, and will do their utmost to uphold the necessity of this inequality.

This was originally a very ideal set of tools.

However, the inherent flaw of tools lies in the fact that they themselves do not possess a stance. Naturally, they will produce different effects when used by different people.

The student union, dedicated to helping every student on campus, is the "exception" born within the bounds of the rules.

Through the student council, those who once felt they had nowhere to go and were long excluded from the group finally felt that there was a place where they could be accepted.

Especially as the student council gradually grows and expands, it begins to have the ability to influence the academy by leveraging existing resources.

Even if some people involved are simply clueless and unaware of the changes happening around them, there are always those who can discern certain facts from those seemingly minor changes.

Even the weak can make their voices heard if they unite.

Because they are the weak, they understand even more clearly that they are just ordinary people among the masses, not people favored by the gods, and that they must make sufficient sacrifices in exchange for whatever they want to gain.

But precisely because they are weak, if there is no "thing" to gather them together, no matter how noisy they are, they are just a pile of loose sand, and in the blink of an eye they can be swept away by the wind and scattered in all directions.

If the student council continues to remain silent, it will indeed be entirely beneficial to the Lily Society.

When Wayne realized this, he felt a little heavy-hearted.

"Huh?" Tasia was slightly surprised by his question and subconsciously leaned closer.

Wayne did not avoid her; although the data would not be made public, he did not ask her to keep it confidential either.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that those who are interested will always notice these problems, but they may not necessarily have the determination to change them.

Seeing the treatment the student council received, Tasia fell silent.

Even someone who knows little about the inside story would likely see that this distribution, which is so disparate from that of other clubs, is problematic.

"There seems to be a problem with the student council's activity funds... I'll go talk to the teachers about it," Tasia said softly with difficulty, and then turned to walk back.

Before Wayne could say anything to stop him, Gavin, who had also seen the contents of the paper, chimed in, "It's obviously a deliberate arrangement. Going to the teachers won't help."

Tasia paused.

Wayne sighed inwardly and agreed, "I think that's how it should be too."

"But that doesn't mean there's nothing you can do."

He glanced around at the people in the classroom, stood up, and whispered to Tasia, "Let's talk outside. It's not convenient here."

Tasia followed him out of the classroom without saying a word, while Gavin also enthusiastically asked to join the discussion.

Wayne ignored Gavin's obvious ill intentions and went straight to Tasia, saying, "The biggest problem with the student council right now is that there is no one in charge, so no one can advocate for your interests in club exchanges."

Since Darcy's incident, the student council has not elected a new president, and many people have chosen to withdraw under pressure from various sides.

There was a period when it was rumored that an acting president would be elected, but for some reason it was put on hold, and there is still no definite answer.

Upon hearing this, Tasia's expression became somewhat complicated.

"It seems that no one wants to be the president... The previous presidents were all very capable and arranged many things on their own, so others only needed to follow the rules. But now that there has been no president for a period of time, many problems have accumulated."

At this point, Tasia's words became more tactful.

“In addition, some people are worried about facing further repression…” Her bright eyes looked at Wayne, her implication quite clear.

"..." Wayne said speechlessly, "Didn't I say I wouldn't cause trouble for the student council for those ridiculous reasons?"

Tasia was also helpless about this.

"Actually, I have clarified that Wayne is not the kind of person who would take advantage of others, but... apart from Senior Meimei, no one believes me."

—It's truly pathetic how I appear to outsiders.

Seeing Tasia frowning and feeling indignant on his behalf, Wayne comforted her, "It's alright, as long as my family and friends know what kind of person I am."

Gavin nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Wayne is a very reliable partner!"

"So, have you considered having you step in?" Wayne asked bluntly.

Tasia paused for a moment, as if every word in that sentence was difficult to understand.

She parted her lips slightly like a dumbfounded goose: "Huh?"

“I said, if they don’t want to be the president, then you will be the president,” Wayne emphasized clearly.

"Just say that you are a good friend of mine and Chris. If you become the president, the Lily Society will definitely not make things difficult for you, and it can also divide the voices of rejection from some nobles."

Wayne's reasoning was simple and blunt.

It was almost like a threat that if the next student council president wasn't his friend, he might face retaliation.

Chapter 516 When the city gate catches fire, it affects Wayne.

Tasia immediately wore a look that was hard to describe.

"But I'm only in a lower grade..."

“It’s okay, as long as you have the ability,” Wayne said confidently. “Look, I’m a lower grader too, aren’t I? You have to trust that the people have discerning eyes; they’ll definitely see your strengths!”

Under Wayne's very reasonable encouragement, Tasia's resolve began to waver.

Having probably figured something out, Gavin also joined the ranks of the lobbyists.

"Yeah~ Tasia, think about it, why did the student council have so many conflicts with Yuri before?"

He asked himself and answered, "That's all because of a lack of understanding between the two sides!"

"If you can mediate, wouldn't communication between the two sides gradually increase? The student council's situation won't be so difficult in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wayne couldn't help but glance at Gavin.

It's simply impossible to resolve conflicts by simply communicating more.

Gavin, on the other hand, seems to want to achieve something by promoting exchanges between the two sides, which Wayne is pretty sure of.

Before Tasia could make a decision, Chris somehow followed her there.

"Tasia, what are you two talking about outside?"

Although she tried her best to sound nonchalant, her demeanor betrayed something.

Chris's gaze darted back and forth between Wayne and Tasia.

Wayne could only secretly rejoice that he hadn't deliberately stood too close to Tasia earlier.

"Ahem... Chris, you're here too. You can give Tasia some advice on this matter." He added his suggestion quite naturally.

After hearing his words, Chris pondered for a moment.

"Has the student council really fallen to this level?"

But in no time, she composed herself and squeezed into the space between Wayne and Tasia.

She had one arm around Wayne's waist and the other around Tasia's waist: "Actually, I also think that it would be a good suggestion to make peace between the student council and the Lily Society."

Whether he was overthinking it or not, Wayne felt something was off.
