Classroom Of The Elite: I Am No Genius. (Year 1)

Vol 3 Ch 1: The New President

Hirano pov:-

The sports festival ended in mid-October, around the time of year when it started getting chilly.

The school held a general election to decide who would be in charge of the
next student council. Immediately after the election concluded, the school
ushered in the handover ceremony of the student council. It was a large-scale
event that gathered students from the entire school to the gymnasium.

However, for most of the first year students, it was a very uneventful
experience. They were drowsy, but they were attempting to keep quiet and slow their breathing so the teachers and upperclassmen wouldn't notice them.

"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.

As a member of the student council, naturally, I was on stage. But what's more surprising is that Ichinose was here aswell. It seems she managed to join the student council.

"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 senpai 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 including me stood firm, not breaking our 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."

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.

"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."

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
as it is an excellent and necessary person, they can become a member of the student council at any time regardless of the number of slots that are open. In the event that someone is judged unfit for office, I will establish a system of majority vote at the meetings for expelling them from their positions.

As a starting point, let me make a declaration to the students, teachers, and leaders of the former student council who are assembled here. The school system of the future... I will destroy all that has been preserved by the previous student councils for the sake of the appearance of the school."
