"Can I know what it is?"

"I don't want to tell Hashima-san right now. I'll tell you next time when I'm in a better mood."

"Well, that's a shame."

Just as the two were chatting casually, a burst of warm applause was heard outside, and then Nan Yunya's figure reappeared in the lounge behind the curtain.

"Nagumo-kun, what's the situation?"

"Of course it was a huge success! After all, I've been preparing for this day for a long time, and I will definitely not let everyone who supports me down."

Nan Yunya gazed at the second-year students around her and spoke in an impassioned tone.

"We will always support you, Nagumo-kun."

“Let’s work together to build this school and make it a better place!”

After witnessing this scene, a sneer appeared on Hashima Hikaru's lips.

He has not forgotten his experience working in the club department. In order to integrate the second grade, Nan Yunya built his own network of relationships by making promises and exchanging benefits. Although this method is quick to work, it actually has many loopholes. As long as he can find the right entry point, his power network will definitely fall apart.

About ten minutes later, when another sophomore who was just running for student union president came back, the broadcast sounded again.

[Next, there will be a campaign speech for the Student Vice President. Please prepare, first candidate Hikaru Hashima.]

"Now it's my turn."

Hashima Hikaru stood up from his chair. At this moment, everyone, including Horikita Manabu and other third-year students sitting at the back, looked over, even Nan Yun Miyabi.

He gave the boy an encouraging look and patted him on the shoulder.

"Come on, Hashima-kun, don't let me down."

"I will do my best, please rest assured, seniors."

After she slowly walked out from behind the curtain, the entire audience erupted in applause, even drowning out the noise when Nan Yunya appeared earlier.

After all, Hashima Hikaru's reputation had already spread throughout the school after the special exams and the sports festival during the summer vacation.

Coupled with his outstanding appearance, he was greeted with the first wave of applause as soon as he came on stage. After the young man stood on the podium, the auditorium slowly quieted down.

Among the students below, many were staring at Mitsuru Hashima. They were gazing at the young man's figure, as if they didn't want to miss even a second.

"Hello everyone, I'm Hikaru Hashima from Class A, first year. I'm currently serving as an officer in the Student Union's activities department. I'd like to run for the position of Vice President of the Student Union."

“This is a special school, it carries a lot of expectations…”

"I hope……"

"If you are willing to support me, please vote for me. I will continue to shine and work harder to serve my classmates."

"thank you all!"

After finishing his speech, Hashima Mitsuru bowed to express his gratitude, and the entire auditorium erupted in deafening applause again.

At this moment, a black-haired girl standing in the square formation of first-year Class C students looked up at the figure on the podium, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

As the younger sister of Horikita Manabu, Horikita Suzune has been trying hard to catch up with her brother since elementary school.

If one day in the future, the girl can appear on the podium as a candidate for student union president and eventually get that position, would it prove that she has caught up with the other party?

【I want to join the student union! 】

At this moment, this is the most urgent thought in Horikita Suzune's heart.

320

Chapter 320: The candidate is confirmed, Vice President Hashima Hikaru.

After Hashima Hikaru's speech ended, two other candidates gave their speeches in turn.

One is a boy from Class A, Grade 2, and the other is a girl from Class B, Grade 2. However, the response to these two people was mediocre after they appeared on the stage. After all, they were just pushed out by the Student Union as scapegoats. In order to ensure the scene was acceptable, this was an indispensable link.

The candidates' speeches are over. Now, please cast your ballots in order. Each person can only cast one vote, one for the Student Union President and one for the Student Union Vice President.

Let’s begin now.

As soon as the host finished speaking, the students in the auditorium began to line up and put their ballots into the ballot box one by one. Although this process is cumbersome, it means that the final candidate is determined by group election rather than internal decision-making, which can make the person who exercises power in the future more legitimate.

"I heard that Hashima-kun has finished his campaign. In that case, you should be able to become my deputy, right?"

Nanyun Masa stood next to Hashima Hikaru and took the initiative to talk to him.

"After all, this carries the hopes of many people. I can't back off now."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly and replied politely, "I'm sure I'll learn a lot from working with Nanyun-senpai in the future."

"Don't be so modest, Junior Yumujima. Your abilities are obvious to everyone. Maybe I'll even hand over the position of student council president to you in the future."

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Nanyun. My abilities are not yet sufficient to take over your position. Please allow me to hone my skills as Vice President for a while."

"Hahaha, Hashima-kun is such a humble person. Humility is a virtue."

Nan Yunya reached out and patted his shoulder again, then left the boy.

"I will continue to work hard. I hope Senior Nanyun will give me more guidance in the future."

In fact, as early as when Hashima Hikaru went to Class C to canvass for votes, Nanyun Masa had already contacted Ryuen Sho from Class D. After all, they had worked together once before at the sports festival.

Ever since Horikita Manabu started to vigorously promote the boy, Nanyun Masaru, who was about to take over as the student council president, wanted to select a new agent from among the first-year students. After all, Hashima Hikaru could no longer be won over. In order to ensure that the plan could be carried out more smoothly in the future, this step of his was still very critical.

Unfortunately, they were a step too late. When Ryuen Sho found the students in Class C, they had already received money from Hashima Hikaru and signed the contract, so Nanyun Masa's surprise attack did not succeed.

As the saying goes, one step slow leads to every step slow.

Now Nanyun Masa is aware that it is a foregone conclusion that Hashima Hikaru will become the vice president. If he wants to restrict the other party, he must prepare many backup plans.

It took about half an hour to collect the ballots. After all, there were no more than 500 students in the three grades combined, so the voting went very quickly. After sorting out the ballot boxes, the students dispersed in the auditorium.

And Hashima Hikaru followed the student council members back to the student council.

"Then we will begin the roll call and counting of votes."

After all the student council secretaries gathered in the conference room, the vote counting officially began. Horikita Manabu sat at the top, while Hashima Hikaru, as a first-year member, sat at the last, but soon his position would become second.

"First, regarding the vote list for the student council president, candidate number one is Nanyun Masaru, and candidate number two is Uesugi Mamoru."

“Please start counting the votes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two assistants next to him began to take out slips of paper with names written on them from the ballot box and read out the names on them aloud.

"Nan Yunya."

"Nan Yunya."

"..."

There was actually no suspense in the voting for the student council president candidate. After all the votes were counted, Nan Yunya's votes were much higher than the other candidate, and she won with an almost overwhelming advantage.

"The vote count is complete. Nanyun Miyabi has 342 votes, and Uesugi Mamoru has 138 votes. Congratulations to Nanyun Miyabi for being elected Student Council President!"

The next moment, warm applause broke out in the conference room.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the result, Nan Yunya's face did not look very good, because this number was different from his initial estimate.

First of all, Horikita Manabu agreed to let him take over, so the votes of the third graders would be given to Nanyun Masaru, which would give him 160 votes. As the recognized leader of the second graders, the 160 votes of the entire second graders would naturally be his.

Adding the 40 votes from Class D of the first grade that Long Yuanxiang had promised, even if none of the other first-year students voted, he should have received 360 votes, but now he had 18 fewer votes.

[What exactly is going on? Is someone betraying me?]

Nanyun Miyabi seriously thought about the answer to this question.

Horikita Manabu is definitely not a person who goes back on his word, so the 160 votes from the third graders must be true, and in order to gain his support, Ryuen Sho should not choose to go back on his word at this time.

The only possibility left was the second-year students. Although it was an unchangeable fact that Nan Yunya became the student council president, this unexpected event that was beyond his control made him very unhappy.

"Who is it?"

The blond man was recalling possible candidates in his mind. While he was thinking, the counting of votes for the vice-president of the student union was over.

"The vote count is over. Hashima Hikaru received 307 votes, Tanaka Katsuto received 82 votes, and Konohana Shino received 91 votes. Congratulations to Hashima Hikaru for being elected as the Student Council Vice President!"

Warm applause rang out again in the conference room, but at this time Nan Yun Ya was suddenly shocked. His source of information was equally detailed, so he knew the composition of Hashima Hikaru's votes.

The students in the third grade got a total of 160 votes, and he should have received votes from three classes in the first grade, so a total of 120 votes, and he would not get the votes from Class D in the first grade.

If we calculate it this way, his basic vote count should be 280, but now he has 27 more votes, which can only be cast by second-grade students.

"Thank you all for your recognition. I will not let down the support and encouragement from my predecessors. I will continue to contribute my own strength to the school and continue to serve everyone!"

Looking at the smug look that the young man inadvertently revealed, Nan Yunya was 27% sure that this bastard must have won over students of his own grade, otherwise he would not have gotten the extra votes.

The reason for the 18 votes he was missing was the same. These 18 people had already confirmed that they did not support him, and among the 27 people, some were sitting on the fence, supporting both himself and Hashima Hikaru.

[Looks like we need to check inside the second grade. We can't let them continue to poach our students!]

Although Nanyun Masa congratulated Hashima Hikaru on his election with a smile on his face, a flame of anger was burning in his heart. He didn't expect that a traitor would appear in his grade before he even took the position of student council president.

Seeing the change in the blond man's expression, Hashima Hikaru laughed in his heart.

Of course, he deliberately showed a smug expression to the other party in order to arouse Nan Yunya's vigilance. According to this guy's desire for control, he would definitely launch a self-inspection within the grade as quickly as possible.

However, this operation was doomed to fail, because these people were spies planted by Horikita Manabu a long time ago, and with Nanyun Masaru's level, he would never be able to find them.

Once the second-year students initiate internal self-examination, Nanyun Masaru's already flawed power network will open the door to Hashima Mitsuda.

This is where the road to power begins.

321

Chapter 321: Horikita Manabu resigns, and the second brother-sister reunion takes place.

After all the new student union cadres were selected, time quickly arrived at the end of October when the autumn air was starting to set in. The day when Horikita Manabu officially stepped down finally arrived.

Just like holding an election, the school also gathered all the teachers and students on this day. Everyone lined up and gathered in the auditorium. As a ceremony for the handover between the old and the new, Nan Yunya would become the new student council president from today.

[Now, I'd like to invite Student Council President Horikita Manabu to give his final remarks.]

As the student council president who is deeply trusted by teachers and senior students, Horikita Manabu slowly walked towards the podium where the microphone was placed after hearing the host's speech.

In the first-year student formation, Horikita Suzune looked up at her brother whom she had been pursuing so far, with a determined look in her eyes. She would not give up her idea, and joining the student council was the first step to take.

And Hashima Hikaru also stared at the bespectacled man on the podium. The man rarely revealed his true emotions and most of the time he showed an indifferent attitude, but the boy knew very well that Horikita Manabu just had a weird personality.

"Good afternoon everyone, I'm the Student Council President, Manabu Horikita. Thank you all for coming here to attend the Student Council handover ceremony."

“I am proud to have led the Student Union for nearly two years, and I am grateful to all my colleagues in the Student Union for their cooperation in helping us better serve the school.”

"In the coming time, please trust the new student union members and actively face the upcoming study life."

Horikita Manabu's speech was not long. Apart from some social etiquette, when he mentioned the new student council, the man turned around and made an introduction gesture. All the student council cadres standing behind him instantly looked stern and behaved seriously and dignified.

After finishing his speech, Horikita Manabu quietly returned to his original position, but the handover ceremony would naturally not end like this. After all, Nan Yun Miyabi, who was standing behind him, was already eager to try.

President Horikita, thank you for your dedication so far. Now, I would like to invite the new Student Council President, Masaru Nagumo, to give your inaugural speech.

The smiling blond man was surrounded by members of his faction. After nodding to the host, he slowly walked to the center of the podium.

"I'm Nanyun from Class 2A. President Horikita, thank you very much for your strict yet kind guidance so far. Being able to work with you is a precious treasure I've gained. I express my respect to you!"

After saying this, Nan Yun Ya bowed his head deeply towards where Horikita Manabu was. No matter what, this guy's acting skills were still good. At this time when polite words were most needed, it was indeed a skill for him to be able to do this.

After finishing a series of moves, Nan Yunya once again faced all the teachers and students in the school, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Please allow me to introduce myself once again. My name is Nanyun Miyabi, and from today on I will be the student council president of Kodoku Ikusei High School. I look forward to your continued guidance from now on."

“I hope everyone can support the work of the new student council. Let us work together to make this school a better place.”

Nan Yunya glanced at everyone below and expressed her inner thoughts.

"At this opportune moment when all the students in the school are gathered together, I will speak frankly and say that I am determined and have the idea to reform the system. This is a very important step. Only by embracing new rules can the new student union be revitalized."

"First, I promise to change the Student Council's tenure, appointments, and general elections. I believe the elections can be moved up to allow for a better transition to a new generation of student council members."

"I will also revise the terms of office for the student union president and various student union cadres from a limited term to an unlimited term. In other words, whether it's the student union president or any student union cadre, as long as they are sufficiently qualified, they can remain in office until they graduate, allowing them to better serve everyone."

"If someone is accused of being unqualified during their term, we will actively establish a majority voting system within the student union to remove them, ensuring that only the most qualified members are on the union. This will motivate everyone and build a new era for the campus."

As Nanyun Masa put forward one idea after another, the students below were a little confused. However, Hashima Hikaru, who was standing with the student union cadres, smiled.

Because the majority voting system proposed by this golden-haired man is actually a double-edged sword. He believes that he can control the majority and thus monopolize power for a long time, but the boy has now taken over the position of vice president of the student union. If they want to have a fight, this system will be the most intense hand-to-hand combat.
