"Listen to me, the captain of our Tennis Club even wanted to invite Shiki-san to join, and he'd be a main team member right away."
Totsuka Yahiko spoke to Hashimoto Masayoshi and Machida Kouji, his tone incredibly excited, as if he were the one being discussed.
"Yo, leader, you're here."
Hashimoto Masayoshi noticed Shikime Natsu's figure and quickly greeted him.
"Yeah."
Shikime Natsu nodded. Almost everyone in the class had arrived. There was still a little time before class started; he had timed his arrival perfectly.
Except for Class D, the other two classes would basically follow the same behavioral pattern as Class A. After all, no one wanted to be the unforgivable sinner who caused the class to lose points.
"Good morning, Shiki-san. I was just telling Hashimoto and the others about your achievements yesterday! It's a real shame these guys didn't come."
Totsuka Yahiko spoke with a smile, his face full of pity for Hashimoto Masayoshi and the others, but also a great deal of relief. After all, he had watched Shikime Natsu's match from beginning to end. He knew his own tennis skills were nothing special, but he felt that Shikime Natsu was even stronger than the main team members of the Tennis Club.
He might even be better than Takahashi Shuichi!
"It's nothing to be sorry about. It was just an ordinary match."
Shikime Natsu smiled. All he had gotten was ten thousand personal points. With over a million personal points already in his possession, Shikime Natsu actually felt it was a little low.
Of course, it had only been a few days since school started. Aside from Class A, most students in the other classes definitely had fewer than one hundred thousand personal points. Of course, Class A also had exceptions like Sakayanagi Arisu, whose total personal points did not exceed twenty thousand.
One could say it was a bit tragic.
Of course, within Class A, besides Shikime Natsu and Kamuro Masumi, basically no one knew that Sakayanagi Arisu only had that few points left.
Hearing Shikime Natsu's humble words, Totsuka Yahiko was about to say more, but unfortunately, the class bell rang just then, and he had to swallow his words.
With the talent he had obtained from Ichinose Honami, plus the first talent he got from Horikita Suzune, Shikime Natsu could be said to have completely mastered all the knowledge the teachers taught in class. He had even finished half the textbook for every subject without the slightest effort.
This was the feeling of having a cheat ability; it really put one in a good mood.
Soon, it was lunchtime. It was still the group of six. Sakayanagi Arisu glanced at Shikime Natsu but chose not to approach him. Instead, she moved away with a look of disgust, as if yesterday's events still had a slight effect on her.
"I think the Student Council should have a lot of information about the school."
Katsuragi Kouhei directly stated his opinion. Joining the Student Council was much harder than joining a club; he had been eliminated in the interview round.
He thought his answers to the questions were decent, but he was eliminated without even knowing the criteria for joining. His academic ability was passable, and his physical strength was his weaker point, but it wasn't terrible.
But why would a Student Council need someone with strong physical abilities? Were they moving heavy objects every day?
"That's for sure. Since you couldn't get in, did you ask the student council president about buying a spot?"
Shikime Natsu looked at Katsuragi Kouhei, whose face was full of gloom. It was really unpleasant for something he thought was a sure thing to go wrong.
"I asked, but the price is one million personal points."
Speaking of which, Katsuragi Kouhei let out a small sigh. One million personal points was not an amount that could be spent casually.
"Since none of the first-years can get in, does that mean you have to be a second-year to join the Student Council?"
Totsuka Yahiko voiced his doubt. After all, if all the first-years who applied were rejected, then only second and third-years could join, right?
"No, that's not the problem. The Student Council recruitment should be open to new students, right?"
Shikime Natsu's gaze fell on Katsuragi Kouhei. After all, he hadn't been there, so he didn't know the specific process.
"Yes, that's right. It was clearly stated that they were recruiting first-year students."
Katsuragi Kouhei nodded. But to recruit and yet reject everyone was quite puzzling.
"Remember what the student council president said at the opening ceremony? This school is based on meritocracy."
Shikime Natsu continued, bringing up what Horikita Manabu had said at the opening ceremony.
"But... if they don't let Katsuragi and the others in, there's no way to see their abilities, right? They can't possibly judge just from an interview."
Hashimoto Masayoshi's gaze also fell on Katsuragi Kouhei. Without even a chance to demonstrate, how could they prove anything?
"Then the specific problem can only come down to the content of the interview. What did the student council president say to you?"
Shikime Natsu finished his lunch and tidied up his utensils. He had already planned to go find Horikita Manabu at the Student Council this afternoon, but... he still had to do his homework beforehand.
"I don't think there was any problem with the interview content. It was mainly about the motivation for joining the Student Council, what value one could bring to it, whether one had joined a student council in the past, and one's views on rules."
Katsuragi Kouhei frowned as he listed the questions Horikita Manabu had asked one by one. Hearing them, it really did seem like a normal student council entrance interview.
What on earth was going on in the mind of this man, hailed as the most outstanding student council president in history?
For a moment, Shikime Natsu was also at a dead end, completely clueless as to the reason. Could there really be a standard answer for this?
"I'll go see that student council president this afternoon."
Shikime Natsu said. This guy was really hard to figure out. It seemed he had to meet him in person to know what the student council president was thinking.
"I'll go with you."
Katsuragi Kouhei said. He couldn't be dismissed with a simple 'you don't meet the standard,' could he?
He wanted to know where the problem was.
"No need. I've invited the student council president's sister to go with me this afternoon."
Shikime Natsu waved his hand. If there were too many people, Horikita Manabu might not be willing to say much.
"The student council president's sister?"
Hashimoto Masayoshi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He hadn't expected Shikime Natsu to be so capable, to have already gotten leverage on the student council president so quickly. With the president's sister there, the conversation should go much more smoothly, right?
"Yes, that's right. So just leave the rest to me. If it really doesn't work out, it's not like we have to join the Student Council. It's better than that two-million-point piece of information."
Shikime Natsu was still hung up on the two-million-point information. Was that thing really worth two million?
Even though he ultimately profited, it didn't mean it was worth that many personal points.
At least, not to him.
Kamuro Masumi, on the other hand, gave Shikime Natsu a complicated look. Sister?
