Practical Teaching: A Guide to the Training of a Humanoid Succubus

"Katsuragi, you bastard..."

Hashimoto, seeing the opportunity, immediately showed his loyalty.

"Hashimoto-san, please be quiet."

With his back to Hashimoto Masayoshi, Sakayanagi Arisu gently raised his hand to stop Hashimoto's attack. "Katsuragi-san, do you have any objection to my becoming the leader?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth and her eyes brightened a little, making her look like a tolerant and kind leader.

"I'm sorry, Sakayanagi-san, I can't trust you."

Katsuragi's reason was simple and direct: "So, I want to compete with you for the position of class leader."

"Haha, I see. Katsuragi-san seems quite confident."

"It's not confidence. I think it's necessary to do this for Class A." Katsuragi said in a deep voice.

"I see. I admire your courage. However, if we don't decide on a leader quickly, we're in danger of being overtaken by Class B in the upcoming exams."

The white-haired loli curled her lips slightly: "So, why don't we decide the winner today, what do you think?"

"It would be great if this could end quickly. But how do you want to decide the outcome?"

Katsuragi remained alert and refused to enter easily.

"A leader, of course, must be recognized by the majority. So, let's vote. Each person has one vote, and the one with the most votes wins."

Arisu Sakayanagi made the simplest proposal.

She has not been idle in the past month. She has won the trust of many classmates through socializing and has already gained a certain stable vote base.

Naturally, there is confidence in victory.

"I disagree." Katsuragi Kohei refused: "The rules need to be supplemented."

"Do you think there's anything wrong with this, Katsuragi-san?"

"If the difference is less than seven votes, the winner will lead the next exam, and a new election will be held after the exam." Katsuragi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "If the difference is greater than seven votes, the winner will be elected leader."

Katsuragi certainly knew that the current situation was likely to be unfavorable to him.

Although he has tried his best to manage the class in the past month, such matters will inevitably offend some of those being managed.

Even if he is proven right in the end, the class will benefit.

But there is still the possibility that some people may harbor resentment.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and he cannot guarantee that he will be the winner.

Therefore, when you are unsure whether you will win, the best way is to temporarily put the dispute aside.

"Why, Katsuragi-san, don't you have confidence in winning?"

Of course, Sakayanagi Arisu would not agree.

It is true that she has a solid vote base, but she also knows that the advantage that her die-hard supporters can build is far less than seven votes.

So she tried to provoke him a little.

"If you don't gain the approval of the majority of the class, even if you win the leadership position, it won't mean anything, right?"

Katsuragi seized Sakayanagi's weakness and launched a small combo.

"That's undeniable." Sakayanagi Arisu nodded. He knew he was slightly outmatched, but he didn't care. He even felt a little amused. "Then let's do as Katsuragi-san said."

"Hashimoto-san, please take charge."

"no problem."

Hashimoto Masayoshi immediately straightened his collar, as if to make himself appear more formal.

He glanced proudly at Dongfang Yi in the back row and said, "Katsuragi-san, please come to my right. Is there anyone else planning to run?"

"Five, four, three, two, one. It seems there isn't one. Okay, now I declare the leadership election officially open. I, Hashimoto Masayoshi, will preside over this election and count the votes."

"Wait." Totsuka Yahiko stood up suddenly. "What if you cheat? Like, you reduce the number of votes when counting them?"

"Totsuka, what do you mean?"

The corners of Hashimoto Masayoshi's mouth twitched. At this moment, his resentment towards Totsuka even exceeded that towards Dongfang Yi.

"It's normal for me to be worried, right? After all, your bias is so obvious."

Totsuka pointed at himself and said, "I will also be the host and supervise your vote counting to ensure that Brother Katsuragi is treated fairly."

"Then you can come up." Although Hashimoto was dissatisfied, he couldn't get angry. "Since I support Her Royal Highness and you support Katsuragi, there is no need to count our votes. Do you agree?"

"I agree, but don't try to do anything. I'll be watching you the whole time." Totsuka pointed to his eyes, then quickly walked to the podium and stood next to the bridge itself.

"You can continue now, stop dithering." Totsuka, who was on the podium, did not forget to suppress Hashimoto with words.

"You say I'm slow? Then you come?" Hashimoto's eyes twitched slightly, and he retorted bluntly.

"I'll do it, then. Students who support Sakayanagi Arisu, please raise your hands."

Yahiko Totsuka stood there straight, immersed in the self-satisfaction of being able to uphold justice for his dear and good brother.

But he only noticed that he had to point out Sakayanagi's card first, but forgot that he should vote anonymously.

He was completely unaware that he had unknowingly become a bad teammate.

Below the stage, Morishita Aoi held her forehead with her hand, feeling a terrible headache.

Thanks to Totsuka's intervention,

Today, Katsuragi can no longer win.

If we vote anonymously, those neutral students hesitated and, considering Katsuragi's previous outstanding performance,

Most of them would choose Katsuragi on their own initiative. In this case, it is not impossible to exceed seven votes.

But if it's real name, they all know it very well.

It is obviously difficult for Katsuragi to win with an overwhelming advantage after losing the neutral votes, and there is even a certain possibility of failure.

Moreover, if real-name voting is used, Katsuragi...can't win even if he can!

If Anonymous wins, everyone can pretend to be nice and friendly, improve their favorability in front of the little princess, take better care of her in daily life, and minimize her dissatisfaction with the class and failure.

But if you win with your real name...

Having been rejected in person by more than half of his classmates, Arisu Sakayanagi probably won't give any of them a chance to make amends.

On the other side, Dongfang Yi 'accidentally' dropped a small package of potato chips on the ground, and bent down at the perfect time when everyone raised their hands.

Quietly avoided the election vote.

Morishita Lan quietly glanced at her phone, then silently counted the number of tickets. After sending and receiving messages in the group, she fell into deep thought...

She turned to look at Dongfang Yi, who stood up after the count, with some surprise:

"So you got the snacks just for now?"

"Well, the neutral faction always has to make some efforts. It's better to be prepared." Dongfang Yi shrugged and looked at the girl's slightly frowned eyebrows: "What happened on your side?"

"The current vote count is a bit dangerous." Morishita Lan admitted frankly.

"It's normal that I can't win, after all, it's real-name voting." Dongfang Yi shrugged.

It doesn’t matter whether Katsuragi wins this time. After all, the white-haired loli is too dark-hearted and will use any shady tricks.

If this continues, Katsuragi will eventually admit defeat.

"No, it's dangerous because the real name might win."

Morishita Lan's voice unconsciously took on a hint of solemnity.

"What do you mean?" Dongfang Yi was really surprised when he heard that.

He had thought that Arisu Sakayanagi's performance in the anonymous vote would be a bit poor,

But real-name voting...will we lose too?!

So the fact that most of Class A support Katsuragi at the beginning wasn't just talk?!

The two people who were communicating did not notice that the white-haired loli's eyes swept over Dongfang Yi's figure inconspicuously, secretly noting his little movements.

Holding a grudge...

"Her Royal Highness received 16 votes. Did I calculate that correctly?"

On the stage, Hashimoto finished counting the votes and looked at Totsuka beside him with a displeased look.

"No problem, but Arisu Sakayanagi didn't even get half the votes. Katsuragi-sama has already won. Can we announce the result now?"

Totsuka opened the champagne at the start of the half.

"Which eye of yours saw Katsuragi win?" Hashimoto sneered, "Those who don't support Her Highness the Princess may not necessarily support Katsuragi either."

Hashimoto naturally noticed Dongfang Yi who did not vote, but he had no time to make false accusations.

After saying this, he ignored Totsuka Yahiko's objection and continued, "Now, those who support Katsuragi-san, please raise your hands."

Dongfang Yi did not use the same trick this time. He sat in his seat and silently observed the number of votes.

Now, excluding the two people who left and the four people on the stage, there are a total of 34 students in the classroom.

Seeing that he still had no intention of voting, the white-haired loli's expression eased a little.

She began to consider whether to cross out what she had just written down from her little notebook.

The recount is over.

"Brother Katsuragi... also received 16 votes."

Totsuka Yahiko announced Katsuragi's vote count somewhat discouraged.

As expected, Sakayanagi and Katsuragi... or rather, with the tacit agreement of some of the students in Class A...

Evenly matched.
