The all-powerful middle schooler

He didn't bother to remember the names of the miscellaneous fish.

Then there's A-Tenbo Yume, a second-year student. There are some people he's met but doesn't know the names of, such as the senior with long black hair he met when the Far East Magic Club was established. Her legs were so attractive that they left an impression on him.

The atmosphere suddenly froze when he and the student council president pushed open the door and entered.

Although his fame has reached its peak, many people here happen to be stepping stones for him. Some people's expressions are uncertain, while others accept it calmly.

"The scars left by that man still ache faintly to this day."

"Tennis club president Kentaro Kawamura said, clutching his chest."

"I wish we could play chess a few more times."

The head of the Go club, Yoshitaka Waga, looked down and his fingers twitched.

"Alright, everyone look over here, our meeting is about to begin."

The student council president quickly stepped forward, clapped his hands with a smile, and said...

Most people shifted their attention, but a few eyes remained fixed on him.

Just then, the blonde girl with twin ponytails who had been sitting in the corner turned around and moved a little further inside.

What it means is self-evident.

Without giving it much thought, Izumi Hasegawa walked over and sat in her original spot.

"Quan, what brings you here?"

Eriri let out a surprised "Eh?", feigning confusion.

Didn't you want me to come here?

Hanesegawa Izumi gave a soft snort, looked at the front desk, and smiled without saying a word.

not far away.

Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head away, her expression growing even colder, her wine-red pupils flashing with a dangerous red light.

An ignorant beast, a two-faced monster who dares not face the real world, a pathetic creature who only wants others to accommodate him.

How shameless they are! They actually take advantage of their childhood friendship to do whatever they want!

While she was muttering to herself, the student council president didn't dawdle but quickly began planning the cultural festival activities.

"First, let's talk about the format. Does anyone have any creative suggestions? Don't you think it'll get boring if we stick to the same old routine?"

Many people spoke enthusiastically, offering some rather unexpected suggestions.

However, despite its novelty, few people agree with it.

After all, the activities at the cultural festival have almost become a tradition, and if they are changed arbitrarily, it is hard to guarantee that the audience both on and off campus will accept them.

"Yes, it's definitely safer to do it this way."

The student council president's voice betrayed some disappointment, but it quickly dissipated. He continued, "If the general activity plan cannot be changed, then the only way to improve the evaluation is to come up with something new in certain aspects."

For example, theatrical performances on the main stage.

In the past, it was always the same few famous love stories, and everyone was already tired of them. No matter how good the acting was, it could only be a personal evaluation.

"I've already written the script, now it's up to everyone to see if they can accept it."

Suddenly someone raised their hand in response.

The speaker was a seemingly quiet and beautiful senior student. Her wonderful figure and stunning beauty made her as popular as A-Tenbo Yume among the second-year students.

Many people are looking forward to it.

Because the other party is a person with rare literary talent, often kicking the drama club to write scripts, and the stories he makes up are impressive.

"The gist of it is this..."

After receiving the manuscript, the student council president read it aloud in front of everyone.

Hearing the outline of this story, many people below couldn't keep their expressions in check, because this story was clearly built on the template of "The Road to Kingship". If the characters in it were to appear, wouldn't they be ravaged again?

Moreover, it won't just be Shuchiin University; its fame will likely spread far and wide outside the university, making it famous throughout Tokyo.

"Forgive me for refusing."

"I want to see!"

Some people immediately expressed their opinions, while others agreed.

This controversial script ultimately failed to pass approval.

"What a pity. I'll write another one later."

Below, the second-year student who wrote the script shook her head.

"Is it over?"

Hasegawa Izumi, who had been watching the whole thing, leaned back in her chair, making guesses in her mind.

Just then, the topic suddenly turned to him.

"Regarding the promotional video for this year's cultural festival, I'd like to suggest that Hasegawa-kun play the male lead. Does anyone have any opinions?"

The student council president smiled.

"no problem."

"Who else could it be?"

This opportunity to gain exposure and popularity is important to many people, but when they hear this name, everyone feels there is no doubt about it and has no intention of competing for it.

There was nothing we could do; we were all beaten into submission.

The next question, however, brought the entire room to a standstill.

"So, what suggestions do you all have regarding the female lead?"

An astonishing air pressure was faintly present, making it difficult for those present to breathe.

86 My Apprentice and His Childhood Sweetheart's Tragic Love Triangle

Without a doubt, this is a rather fatal problem.

After offending a bunch of people in Shuchiin, Hasegawa gained unprecedented popularity, and there are quite a few people who respect and like him.

If given the opportunity to play his leading lady, many girls would probably be willing.

However, these female fans dared not offer themselves up at this time, because they all understood that the real person was not them, and this was not a place for jokes.

The eyes of those present quietly fell on the other two.

One is Hasegawa's childhood friend, with whom he has accumulated an extraordinary bond since childhood; the other is someone who can teach him step by step, with whom he has a vaguely defined relationship.

These two young ladies are of similar status, so it might be a fierce battle between them!

Some people swallowed hard, as if they could smell the blood in the air, and became very nervous.

"Hey, isn't anyone willing to participate? This is a chance to act with the popular Hasegawa-san! Maybe I can impress him with this opportunity."

The student council president's gaze swept across the silent meeting room.

Even so, the person everyone had in mind still spoke, as if there were some concerns.

"Well, there's really no other way. How about this, let everyone make the recommendations, otherwise, who knows when this meeting will end."

The student council president's gaze was deep, and he seemed to understand something. He then spread his hands and sighed.

"Well, I think Sawamura would be more suitable."

Someone immediately raised their hand.

Eriri's lips curled into a faint smile.

That's right, she's the only female lead!

"So, what are your thoughts, Sawamura-kun?"

The student council president asked a question.

"I'm not very good at acting, and I don't know if I can meet everyone's expectations. To be honest, I'm a little lacking in confidence, but... in order for the cultural festival to go smoothly, since no one is willing to take on the role of the female lead, I can only reluctantly accept it."

The blonde, twin-tailed young lady revealed another side of herself at school, speaking in a gentle and kind manner.

Most people didn't sense anything was wrong; they just thought it was his usual modesty.

Kaguya Shinomiya cursed inwardly: "Tea."

"Well......"

"and many more!"

Just as the student council president was about to make a decision, someone suddenly interrupted him.

"I think Shinomiya is more suitable for this position."

This is clearly a statement from another party.

"What do you think, Shinomiya-kun?"

The student council president's expression remained unchanged as he turned and asked again.

“Promoting the cultural festival is about improving Shuchiin’s image in other people’s minds. As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, I cannot shirk this responsibility.”

Kaguya Shinomiya pressed one hand to her chest and spoke quietly, offering a different perspective.

It is indeed true that the Shinomiya family is the actual controller of the Shuchiin family.

"Oh dear, this is a real headache. I feel that the two of you are quite compatible, so what should we do?"

The student council president scratched the back of his head, looking quite troubled.

"Of course it's Sawamura-kun!"

"Shinomiya-kun is even better!"

Suddenly, the scene erupted into chaos, with clear divisions and an irreconcilable conflict.

Instead of turning the meeting room into a noisy marketplace, the student council president clapped his hands and said, "These things mainly depend on willingness, right? Let's ask Sawamura-kun and Shinomiya-kun what they think first."

This is going to make them compete against each other!

Eriri and Kaguya's expressions changed.

In public, their first thought is to maintain their dignity, not to become love-struck, because doing so would be a disgrace to their family.

However, it would be truly disheartening to let such a good opportunity slip away like this.

"Although I don't want to say it like this, as your childhood friend, I'm definitely more suitable than Shinomiya-kun. Izumi and I have more in common, which should be important if we're filming together, right?"

Eriri smiled slightly.

"Hasegawa-san is like a mentor to me, and we have a lot in common... Speaking of which, Sawamura-san, you kept your relationship with Hasegawa-san a secret back then, right? I don't think you two were that close."

Kaguya Shinomiya said with a smile.

Both sides smiled while harboring malice, their words growing increasingly heated, and the murderous intent rising ever higher.

"I didn't intentionally hide it, it's just that no one asked. But Shinomiya-kun was defeated by Izumi before, can he really let go of the grudge? Will he hold a grudge? I'm worried about Izumi."

Eriri frowned.

"Sigh~"

Someone gasped.

This could be considered a direct accusation, crossing that line!

Kaguya Shinomiya's shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing her impending outburst of anger.

"Of course not. On the contrary, I should thank Hasegawa. It was because of him that I was able to see the way forward. Besides archery, it was also my academic performance that made me realize my shallowness. It's so good to know him."

She expressed her feelings, but her smile contained a hidden irony.

The emphasis on "academic performance" is essentially a personal attack.

Eriri felt a pang of pain in her chest when her weak spot was touched.

The rivalry between the two young ladies, both overt and covert, had reached a fever pitch, and no one dared to offer any advice at this point, lest they incur resentment.

"Oh no, this is getting out of control..."
