Irisu-senpai revealed the truth of the script, and also told the truth about why she came to the Classic Literature Club.
No matter what the script written by Hongo-san was like, perhaps from your perspective, it was wrong for her to write something with such a tone, but as a friend, I could only withhold her script this time.
"I hope the Classic Literature Club can write a better and more exciting script."
Humans are creatures who look at things from their own standpoints. Uchiha Ryo stood up and left the Classic Literature Club on his own.
It was like his own surname. Perhaps from the perspective of Konoha Village, the Uchiha were an unstable factor. Their arrogance and conceit were incompatible with the villagers, so the Third Hokage tacitly allowed Danzo's actions.
But from the perspective of the Uchiha, what had they done wrong?
Let Yukinoshita and the others figure out the script. He didn't want to participate in the Drama Club's meeting anymore.
Was there any good place to slack off at Shuchiin? There really was one, but he didn't know if he was there.
Uchiha Ryo walked out of the school building to the sports field, turned a few corners to the middle school division, and arrived at a blind spot between the school building and the sports field.
Ishigami Yu: "You guys... (censored)... I really... (unbearable to hear)..."
Uchiha Ryo: "Why do I hear you spewing obscenities as soon as I get here?"
Ishigami Yu noticed Uchiha Ryo's arrival and stopped fighting. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and put his phone on the ground.
Uchiha Ryo: "Arguing?"
"No, just simply venting my emotions. People are like this. If they don't vent their emotions regularly, they'll explode, so I chose to do it online."
Mhm, because Shuchiin is basically full of children from prominent families. Small conflicts are fine, but once it escalates to the family level, it becomes a war between powers.
Ishigami Yu didn't want to cause trouble for his family's business for no reason, so he left it to those strangers online to bear.
Uchiha Ryo: "....I didn't expect that you, Ishigami Yu, with your big eyes and thick eyebrows, would actually be an online shotgun."
Ishigami Yu smiled self-deprecatingly. "Don't put it so harshly. I prefer to call myself a noble debater standing on the moral high ground."
Uchiha Ryo glanced at Ishigami Yu's phone screen. It seemed he was on a 2D forum. This otaku who hadn't encountered the events of the original story leading to his half-year suspension seemed to lack a bit of tempering....
"There are many ways to vent emotions. Come work for the student council in the future."
Ishigami Yu: "Eh? The high school student council? Can someone like me do it? You're not joking, are you, senpai?"
"If Shirogane can become president, why is it impossible for you?"
Shirogane Miyuki, sitting in the classroom, sneezed. It seemed that working part-time alone recently was getting tiring. He should find someone to help this weekend.
Ishigami Yu's phone started buzzing again. He moved his fingers, seemingly ready to start the second round of battle.
Uchiha Ryo reached out and slapped Ishigami Yu's phone away. "Since you've finished venting, don't worry about them anymore."
Ishigami Yu looked at his phone, still a little unhappy. "But they don't know anything and just know how to flame. I want to use facts and truth to slap them in the face!"
Uchiha Ryo smiled.
"And then? They continue to be unconvinced, and you continue to be unhappy. The less knowledgeable a person is, the more they have an inexplicable courage and an inexplicable sense of pride."
"Because the less knowledgeable they are, the more absolute the things they believe in. They have never heard of opposing viewpoints. Arrogance! It is the nature of the ignorant and the argumentative."
These people would usually escalate the debate of viewpoints into verbal attacks, or even physical fights. You could say their arguments were illogical, but that was normal. Trolls didn't need logic to argue. Using logic wasn't arguing, it was demonstrating.
Ishigami Yu lowered his head, then silenced his phone.
"Uchiha-senpai, you're right. There's no need for me to argue with unreasonable people, because I can't win. Their thinking is inherently solidified, like trying to persuade a tiger to become a vegetarian.... but a tiger can't change its meat-eating ways."
The class bell rang, and Ishigami Yu stood up.
"Senpai, I should go to class! Thank you for your guidance. As expected of the number one scholar in the year."
Uchiha Ryo chuckled lightly. "Is your afternoon class important?"
"Uh... subjectively speaking, no. But the teacher probably thinks they're all important."
Uchiha Ryo patted Ishigami Yu on the shoulder.
"Then live subjectively. Why care so much about right or wrong? As long as you're happy. Let's go! I'll take you out to play."
Ishigami Yu's eyes widened.
The senpai who had just been waxing philosophical about life now wanted to take him to skip class and play?
This was really.... But he, Ishigami Yu, was a good student! How could he simply go along with bad influences?
"Next time. I'm running out of credits to deduct."
Uchiha Ryo waved his hand. "As the general affairs manager of the student council, I believe Ishigami-kun has the talent to become a student council officer, and I apply to bring him along to complete the general affairs work, laying a good foundation for joining the student council in the future."
Ishigami Yu: "Hiss— this... Uchiha-senpai, you are too outstanding! So you have a mission now, right?"
"No, I don't. But I can ask Shirogane Miyuki to give me a student council commission that allows me to leave the school gate right away."
Ishigami Yu suddenly felt a surge of fondness for the high school student council. If he could join in the future, could he slack off often?!
Without further ado, Uchiha Ryo led Ishigami Yu straight to the school gate.
Although the security guards at Shuchiin had easy jobs and high salaries, they usually had to deal with children from prominent families, so when they saw students approaching, they immediately stood at attention and asked.
"What can I do for you two students?"
Uchiha Ryo pulled out a piece of white paper. Although it was indeed a blank piece of paper, in the eyes of the security guards and Ishigami Yu, it was a mission statement stamped by the student council.
"I am the student council general affairs manager. Because the joint sports festival with Toyogasaki last time was well done, the school plans to send us to discuss the joint exam before the summer vacation. This is the commission mission issued by the student council."
The security guard took the blank A4 paper, looked at it seriously, and handed it back to Uchiha Ryo.
"Mhm, you may go."
Ishigami Yu: It really worked! As expected of Uchiha Ryo, easily doing something we wouldn't dare to do. Truly admirable!
Leaving the school, Ishigami Yu said excitedly.
"So, are we going to Toyogasaki now?"
Uchiha Ryo snorted lightly. "You're still too young. Never mind that this mission is fake, as a student council officer, is there any reason to do a mission as soon as you receive it?"
"Before doing the main quest in a game, don't you have to check if there are any fun side quests?!"
.....
In the student council office in the afternoon, Yukinoshita also refused the Drama Club's discussion meeting today and came to the student council instead.
The office was still the same. Shirogane Miyuki was quietly working, Shinomiya Kaguya was sitting on the sofa reading documents, and Fujiwara Chika was sitting opposite her sipping tea.
Seeing Yukinoshita enter, Shinomiya Kaguya looked up. "Didn't Uchiha-kun come?"
Yukinoshita indicated she didn't know either. "President Shirogane is in the same class as Uchiha-kun. Where did he go after school?"
Shirogane Miyuki looked out the window.
"Over there is the school gate... beyond the school gate is freedom. Uchiha Ryo took a leave of absence and went home at noon."
Yukinoshita was speechless. "Then, leave the general affairs work to me."
Shirogane Miyuki: "I'll leave it to you, Yukinoshita-san."
Hearing that Uchiha Ryo had run off at noon, the smile on Shinomiya Kaguya's face remained, but she felt a little smug inside.
Is this the conceit of a winner? Daring to take leave to go out and play so close to the exams. It seems you really aren't afraid of your grades dropping.
Alright then. I will take the first place in the year for this exam!
