Chapter- 1 (Ayanokouji’s POV) 

Immediately after the sports festival ended, the elections for student council began. And within a few days results were out. The whole student body had gathered around to witness the handover ceremony. 

That is to say, however, none of the first year seemed particularly interested in it. They yawned and stretched occasionally to avoid falling asleep. However, the upper classes avoid such things. 

"Now, here are some final remarks from president Horikita of the student council."

Following the moderator's speech, Horikita Manabu slowly approached the microphone on the stage. If it was the Horikita from before, the younger one I mean, just seeing her brother on stage would probably make her cower.

But now, as she watched over her brother’s resignation, she was staring at him with a firm look. 

"I am proud and grateful to have been able to lead the student council for almost two years. Thank you very much."

After his brief statement, Horikita's brother quietly retreated and returned to his original position. There were no moving words in his speech. It could be said that it was a solemn and dutiful statement.

However, it does not look like the retirement ceremony will end with just this.

The student council officers on the stage with him stood firm, not breaking their solid posture.

"Student president Horikita has worked so hard for you all. Now, please welcome the new student council president, second-year student of Class A, Miyabi Nagumo.”

That guy .. . .

Miyabi Nagumo, the new student president, walked forward and stood in front of the microphone.

"I am Miyabi Nagumo of the second year’s Class A. President Horikita, I really appreciate your strict and kind guidance so far. I am honored and would like to pay tribute to you. I am thankful for being able to accompany

the legendary president who has played one of the greatest leadership roles in the history of this school."

With that, he bowed deeply in the direction of Horikita's brother, and then re- faced the students. While a few of those words seemed empty, it seems like he meant most of what he said.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Miyabi Nagumo. I will be the next student president of Advanced Nurturing High School. Please take care of me."

Once he faced us again, any hint of respect was lost in his voice. It reminded me of his attitude during the sports festival.  In his final leg of the relay race he didn’t pay much heed, neither to his seniors, nor his classmates. 

But I felt that was only the surface.

Nagumo smiled thin and small so as to change the calm atmosphere. 

"I'll get straight to the point. First of all, I promise to change the terms and appointment method of the student council as well as the practice of the general election. This will mean changing the date of the general election of

the student council from December to October. This shift will be an attempt to move to a new generation for the student council and I judge that that then will be when the new student council will move towards a new era. I will

change the tenure of the president and officers from terms to indefinite so they can serve until graduation. At the same time, I will abolish the current restrictions on the number of student council officers. In other words, as long
