Uneasy daily life

Yukino Yukinoshita is on a killing spree.

"Then why can't we leave the deserted island, but the teacher and you can go to the city?"

The fourth young player is going to take the field!

"Because that's how the event was arranged. The teachers came out to give you tutoring lessons and also to relax and travel. They are adults and can be responsible for themselves. If you have objections to student council members being allowed to go to the city, then I will propose that the student council also be subject to the same constraints and treatment as you, and not be allowed to leave without a reason."

Yukino Yukinoshita defeated them and asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. What Yukinoshita said didn't seem to make much sense. The student council had the right to arrange activities, and students should indeed obey those arrangements, even if they were arbitrary and meaningless. As long as there was no danger to personal safety or property, and no legal issues were actually triggered, the worst that could happen was that students would complain afterwards that the activity was extremely boring and a waste of time...

"Yukinoshita-kun, I have a question," Hayama Hayato suddenly spoke up, "What's the point of this event?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, just as she was about to speculate on something, when a cold snort came.

"What a blatant case of officials protecting each other and colluding with each other! Do they think they can justify such outrageous behavior by claiming it's just about event arrangements and the student council's authority? Do they think they can postpone addressing the issue until later? Now that the problem has occurred, shouldn't the student council take responsibility and resolve it immediately?"

A figure spoke righteously, stepped out of the crowd, and stood next to Hayama Hayato. His face was covered by a hood, and he didn't look like a good person.

"Solving problems isn't about shouting and blaming..."

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly realized something was wrong.

“How can it not be?” the other party retorted confidently. “Making a big deal out of a small matter, and a small matter disappearing into nothing! You think you can just stop crying and making a scene and wait for your conscience to wake up and resolve the issue on your own? We’re here to protest, not to listen to your rambling!”

Yukino Yukinoshita stared at him silently.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly fall silent amidst the carnage, the morale of the assembled rebel army surged. "That's right! What happened with that sudden reprimand? And... who is this person?"

“A wise ruler serves the people with benevolence and virtue, the people serve the capable ministers with diligence and sincerity, and the capable ministers serve the wise ruler with loyalty and wisdom. Therefore, the world is at peace and life is well-ordered.”

"Student council president Bai Ying, whose ancestors were unknown and whose origins are undiscovered. He is adept at cunning and sowing discord among the generals; he neglects state affairs and indulges in unrestrained whims in the marketplace. He is tyrannical and cruel, taking pleasure in ruthless acts. In the past, Prince Yeshan and Queen Miura were known throughout the land for their benevolence, integrity, and uprightness; however, their hearts and minds were disturbed by his machinations, and their reputations were tarnished by slander. Since then, the generals have been filled with resentment, and the people have harbored deep grievances; one man's voice can ignite the entire school's hatred. He appears to be a wise ruler, but in reality, he is a tyrant."

The other party strolled around, delivering a passionate speech, harshly criticizing the student council president's actions. His words progressed in a series of escalating refrains: "I've long heard that snow and white are of the same color, light and shadow are of the same substance. Yukinoshita strongly recommended Shirokage to succeed her, thus gaining merit for the new leader and enjoying the position of prime minister. Her merits and virtues are unparalleled, earning her widespread praise; she can be considered loyal and virtuous. However, Shirokage serves the people like a tyrant, while Yukinoshita serves Shirokage with loyalty and virtue, aiding and abetting tyranny—seemingly loyal but treacherous. Water can carry a boat far, but it can also turn into raging waves! The world has suffered under Shirokage for too long; now it is time to restore order, sweep away the dust from the universe, and Hayama Hayato, don the yellow robe!"

"The white shadow is dead, Ye Shan shall rise!"

"Down with the student council, give power back to the students!"

"We want freedom! We reject the unreasonable activities arranged by the student council!"

He delivered a passionate speech and shouted fervently.

The article vividly points out the student council president's numerous misdeeds, lists the vice president's actions, exposes her collusion with the student council president and her role in aiding and abetting wrongdoing, and calls on all students to abandon illusions and insist on fighting for their rights!

This is truly exhilarating! I never expected to find such talent among my classmates.

The senior high school student perked up and stepped forward: "That's right! Yukinoshita, you recommended Shirakage as student council president before, which is why so many people voted for him, but Shirakage is not good enough to be student council president! We're not here to express our dissatisfaction or make a few noises, we're here to make the student council fulfill its requirements..."

"Cough cough cough!" Hayama Hayato coughed quickly and raised his hand to indicate, "Don't say anything for now..."

"Of course, we have no intention of having the student council president step down and be replaced; that's not something we can decide." The senior student, clearly lacking in reading comprehension, said, "It's just that the current activity needs to have its unreasonable aspects changed..."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at someone with annoyance: "Shiraki-kun, is it fun to rebel against yourself?"

Still pure white, the light and shadow blend together... I always feel there's more to it than meets the eye.

The senior high school student was stunned. What did that mean? He subconsciously looked at the hooded man.

The white figure removed its hood.

"Be serious! We're protesting, we're in rebellion!"

Chapter 51 Come and defeat me!

"Down with the incompetent student council! Rebuild the future of the Soubu!"

"Long live freedom!"

"Undeterred by the dark sky obscuring the sun and moon, their unwavering loyalty shines brightly across the universe!"

"Who tricked us into coming to this deserted island? It was Bai Ying! Who maliciously prevented us from attending tutoring classes? It was Bai Ying! Who abused their power and orchestrated this event? It was Bai Ying! Colleagues, it's time for a change of dynasty! Follow me, let's take Bai Ying's head and seize the student council president position!"

The inflammatory slogans, passionate words, and impassioned speeches vividly depict the people's dire straits under the oppression of tyranny, expressing their determination to overthrow the ruling party and their fearlessness in the face of sacrifice and suffering. They portray the lofty will of the pioneers who are shouting and trying to awaken the people.

It had little effect.

The others were so silent that the only voice was exceptionally clear.

Some were speechless, some were bewildered, and some couldn't find a chance to interject...

Bai Ying shouted a few times, but when she got no response, she looked around and frowned, asking, "What's going on? It's a rebellion, a protest! Can't you all be serious? Why is everyone so quiet?"

Yukino Yukinoshita coldly replied, "Isn't Shirakami asking a question he already knows the answer to? Mr. Chairman, who is trying to rebel against himself."

"What? Just because the student council president is on your side, you won't rebel? Is your belief in rebelling, protesting, pursuing freedom, reforming regulations, and changing the world so fragile?"

Bai Ying looked surprised, pointing at each student in disbelief and questioning them one by one: "Mita-kun, aren't you anxious about your senior year studies? Zelin-kun, aren't you upset that you can't go on a trip to the city while the teachers can? Oda-san, aren't you annoyed that your internet is blocked? Hayama-kun, who is highly anticipated by everyone, aren't you leading everyone in a rebellion to meet everyone's expectations?"

"Why are you silent at this moment? Is this all the resolve you have?! You rise in a moment of anger and fall in a moment of cowardice, lacking both unwavering determination and the will to burn your bridges. You are nothing but mediocre people!"

Bai Ying pointed and gestured with great distress.

Yukino Yukinoshita interrupted her impatiently, "Then, Shiraki-kun, as the student council president, how do you plan to handle the students' protests and demands?"

"As the student council president, I naturally have to bear everyone's expectations and demands, listen carefully, and then make a judgment..."

The white figure walked naturally to Yukino Yukinoshita's side, turned around, and faced the protesting students. The expression on her face instantly changed from grief and indignation to feigned authority: "Who wants to sue this student council president? Sue her for what?"

Is it you...? ×N.

A sarcastic remark flashed through the minds of many students. They looked at each other, somewhat unable to keep up with the changing situation. Shouldn't they say something now? But it seemed that Bai Ying had already said everything that needed to be said. What else could they say?

Everyone instinctively looked at Hayato Hayama. Hayato Hayama tried his best to keep a straight face and stepped forward to say briefly, "We hope that the unreasonable aspects of this event's arrangements can be rectified, such as network blocking, inability to charge mobile phones, and the inability to take a boat to the city for sightseeing, etc."

"I understand your requirements. Go back and wait for further instructions."

The white figure waved its hand.

"You'll notify us after the event, right?" a senior student couldn't help but complain. "What we want is an answer now, an immediate answer! In your words, this is a protest, not peaceful negotiation!"

Bai Ying: "This event was fair and reasonable, and there was nothing that violated the law or school regulations."

A senior high school student said, "Although there were no violations in terms of the process, it was clear that everyone's feelings were not taken into account..."

Bai Ying suddenly frowned and said, "You're wrong."

The senior high school student sneered unhappily, "Oh? Where?"

"You've already held a protest, how can you still endorse me?" Bai Ying shook her head and sighed. "It's obvious you don't know how to argue online; you haven't even learned how to refute someone—arranging for you to come to the deserted island is fraudulent; arranging for you to stay in hotels is the same old thing. Not arranging tutoring will drag down your grades. Arranging tutoring will add unnecessary pressure. Preventing you from leaving the deserted island is imprisoning your freedom. Allowing you to leave the deserted island poses a safety hazard. Not charging your phones is a heinous act. Charging your phones makes the activity redundant. If you want to oppose me, then you must learn to oppose me to the end, you must have the online spirit of 'if I'm wrong, you're right!'"

The senior high school student was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "And then? What did you say?"

Bai Ying said matter-of-factly, "Since you're against me, why should I care? Of course, I won't allow it at all."

Senior high school student: "#!"

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head, her gaze fixed on the white figure—still stirring up trouble? Are you planning to take on all the students here one-on-one?

The white figure subtly gave Hayato Hayama a signal.

"Ahem..." Hayama Hayato asked, "What do we need to do so that the student council president can address everyone's concerns?"

"Since you've made such a sincere request, I should give you a chance..."

Bai Ying proposed a plan: "From now on, I will stay at the consultation desk every morning. Any student who wants to charge their phone, travel outside the island, or do other similar activities can come and challenge me! I will propose the competition method, and a fair and brave person will act as the referee. Whoever wins will gain the privilege of free movement that day!"

The students looked at each other, unsure what Bai Ying was up to, but it seemed alright? At least she had a solution?

"Okay."

Hayato Hayama discussed it with everyone and found that there wasn't much resistance, so they settled the matter in a few words.

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes, glanced at Hayato Hayama, and then at the white figure. She sensed a conspiracy and collusion.

While infiltrating the protests and shattering the atmosphere of indignation and unity, they simultaneously reversed their stance, demanding not only that the doors and windows of the houses be sealed off to facilitate greater acceptance of the opinion to open the windows later. They also bribed representatives to guide the opposing sides, making everyone accept the strange conditions as a matter of course…

What a mess of Bai Jun's tricks.

……

……

The next day, the students woke up groggily, came out of the house, asked the teacher for the time, and belatedly realized that something was wrong.

There wasn't even any gonging or drumming to wake people up today?

"Wow...this year's student council president is really good at getting things done! *yawn*"

A student yawned.

"Didn't you sleep well?"

"Should I say I slept well? It feels like all my bones are falling apart from sleeping." The student sighed, distressed. "My phone was dead so I couldn't check the time, and I had no idea what time I went to bed. Maybe I slept for nine hours straight? I was forced to be so lax."

"Yeah, I always feel really bored. I was so bored yesterday that I even did a test paper."

"Could this be the student council president's strategy? Something like, 'I can't actively ask you to study, but I can make sure you can't do anything else but study'—or something like that."

"No, no, you can still sleep or daydream, or wander around. I played in the sand all afternoon yesterday and even found some seashells."

A few familiar students ate breakfast, chatted, and finished their only class of the day. This Mandarin class was only half an hour long, and with too many participants and no teaching equipment, it was practically a non-existent class.

Naturally, they noticed a newly added facility—an extended conference table with a sign that read "Privilege Challenge Office" next to it, and a motionless white figure sitting behind the table.

"...I didn't think much of it when I was protesting with Hayama yesterday, but seeing this scene now, I feel like it's better to just stay put until the end of the event."

"really."

Students eager to take on the challenge gathered in a distance, discussing and observing the white figure's every move. Yesterday, with the atmosphere stirred and someone leading the way, standing in the crowd waving flags and shouting slogans wasn't a problem; today, if they were to actually go up and challenge him, they'd have to face the student council president alone…

From a distance, Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to have some free time. She came to the challenge area, chatted with Shirokage for a few words, and then sat down next to him.

Yukinoshita is much more reliable and reasonable than the student council president.

Seeing this, the senior high school student decisively stepped forward, wanting to see what kind of challenge the other party could come up with.

The number of onlookers suddenly increased.

"You came?"

The white figure stared at the other person and spoke in a deep voice.

"I'm here." The senior high school student snorted coldly. "Make your move."

"Since they're all high school students, we should come up with some challenges that high school students should be able to take on! For example, expressing dissatisfaction with teachers face-to-face, confessing to classmates they like, telling their homework to get lost, arm wrestling to show off their strength, etc..."

Hey! Did you just mention a lot of outrageous projects? Is this a challenge or a test of courage?!

The senior high school student already had a bad feeling and subconsciously considered which option would cause the least harm—confessing to the classmate you like is the most outrageous one...

Bai Ying withdrew her gaze and pushed up her non-existent glasses: "So the challenge is to tell your crush 'I don't like you'!"

"?"

The senior high school student tried to sort out his stunned mind. Damn! I still underestimated how outrageous this new student council president is!

He immediately looked at Yukino Yukinoshita: "Referee, aren't you going to do anything about this?"

“Let’s try another one.” Yukino Yukinoshita felt that this was exactly what she expected. Other vice presidents might mainly handle affairs, while her main job was to supervise the president. “This kind of challenge involves the privacy of the person involved, and the form of the challenge has no beneficial or assessment significance.”

The senior high school student nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right! This challenge is so bizarre!"

"How superficial." Bai Ying sighed, frowning with dissatisfaction. "How is it meaningless? Vice President, the challenge method is very innovative and can also test whether a person has courage! Can you only see things that are superficial and based on common sense? You are really short-sighted."

Yukino Yukinoshita's blood pressure increased by 1, and a cold wind seemed to blow around her: "Short-sighted? Shiro-kun should be more careful about his words and actions as the student council president. Only by making reasonable plans for activities according to the situation can he do so. If he has to give a long explanation for any so-called profound meaning, with roundabout logic, it can only show that he is inefficient and has no tolerance for mistakes."

Seriously, with such reckless behavior, you're probably going to become the first student council president in the history of the Soubu to be ousted by the students themselves! Your plans sound good, but why do you always seem to create unnecessary problems when you try to execute them? Can't you just behave a little better and be more serious so I can have some peace of mind?

"Hmph!" Bai Ying raised her nose and looked down at Yukino Yukinoshita beside her. "Your vision is superficial, your thinking is rigid and linear. I don't like you."

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened slightly. What do you mean I don't like you? You really want to be boycotted off the stage by your classmates... huh?

The senior high school student, unknowingly watching the drama unfold, silently cheered for Yukino Yukinoshita. "Good, good, good! Go, Vice President Yukinoshita! If we defeat this guy today, tomorrow I'll rally the wise among us and nominate you for student council president! Hurry up and do it!"

"You always worry about trivial details, you're always concerned about whether I've messed things up or whether I'll run into trouble, and you have absolutely no trust in me. I don't like you."

The white figure pointed and continued its attack.

Yukino Yukino hesitated for a moment, unable to continue the conversation.

Sigh! Why isn't the vice president very strong? The senior high school student thought to himself, but then suddenly realized something was wrong.

"You seem calm on the surface, but you're actually prone to getting caught up in your emotions. You appear composed on the outside, but inside you're flustered and confused. Once you get into a tantrum, you tend to cling to people. I don't like you." Bai Ying tapped the table. "You're self-disciplined, honest, hardworking, value relationships, and are good-looking. You have too many advantages that make people jealous. I don't like you."
