Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

Chapter 21: Shinomiya Kaguya



Even though it is a comprehensive manga world, Shuchi'in Academy has undergone many changes and character developments.

However, the student council president is still a third-year student of Shuchi'in Academy.

Shun remembers that in the original work, it was Student Council President Arisu who discovered Shirogane Miyuki and guided him to gradually become the Student Council President of Shuchi'in Academy.

It can be said that he is a man with strong abilities and a clear vision.

"Takema-kun, would you like to see the sights of Shuchi'in together?" President Arisu invited with a smile, "Kitagawa-san can join us too."

"Of course, if there's a tour guide, I'd love to see it."

Shun understood the other party's intentions, and coincidentally, he also wanted to become the student council president.

Both Shinomiya Kaguya and Fujiwara Chika had come to Shuchi'in, and it would be a shame not to see them.

Marin has a cheerful and generous personality, and seeing this scene, she became increasingly curious about Shun. After a brief pause, she chose to nod in agreement and follow along.

President Arisu was not in a hurry but patiently introduced the long history of Shuchi'in Academy and some of its famous attractions to both of them.

Facing the other party's sarcasm, Shun responded calmly.

Only after they approached a small lake at the pavilion did President Arisu reveal the purpose of today's visit.

"Takema-kun, are you interested in becoming the student council president?"

"I'm somewhat interested, but why did President Arisu come to me?"

Shun's question made Marin look curious.

"Because Takema-kun is the most suitable."

It seemed that the student council president always had a sweet smile on his face.

"You possess all the outstanding qualities that a superior person should have. Whether it's academics, sports, or even all aspects, it's hard for anyone in Shuchi'in to compare with you."

"And, Takema-kun is a new transfer student from a mixed high school."

"In Shuchi'in, students who continue from junior high school are called Pure, while students who enroll midway are called Impure, creating a hierarchy. There have been some cases in the past. When a student from the Impure category became the student council president, he was dismissed by the academy before completing his term. It was recorded in the academy's history that since then, caution among prospective Impure students has spread."

"I have always wanted to eliminate this unhealthy pathology, and the current merger of multi-schools and the change in the student council is the best time."

President Arisu's words made Marin look at Shun thoughtfully.

"So, the student council president, your idea is to let Takema-kun serve to eliminate this prejudice?"

"Yes, I believe Takema-kun's strength and skills are enough to dispel the arrogance and prejudice of those people that cannot be explained, right?"

In response, Shun nodded firmly.

President Arisu appeared pleased and continued to lead. He also changed his 'role' to 'strategist' and began to make plans for Shun.

"In terms of votes, with Takema-kun's impressive resume and handsome face, I'm worried he could easily win the majority vote. I also guarantee that most of the clubs in the third year will support Takema-kun."

"There are only a few mediocre individuals who can come to Shuchi'in. Most students don't care about what is called Pure and Impure. But when the number of any group reaches a certain level, some foolish and arrogant people will definitely appear. They always feel that their family background is superior and can easily belittle everything, flattering their superiors and oppressing the inferior."

"I will do my utmost to help Takema-kun deal with those people. At the same time, I hope you can also gain support from more powerful kids during the election."

Speaking of this, President Arisu pointed to the middle of the small lake.

There were wooden poles crossing there, and several boys and girls were carefully cleaning up the trash in the lake.

"That one is the second daughter of the president of the largest newspaper group in Japan, and the one next to her is the only daughter of the president of Hokkaido Steel Corporation."

"And the short-haired girl over there is the president of the Volunteer Club, Kashiwagi Nagisa. She is the daughter of the president of a major shipbuilding company and the granddaughter of the director of the Japanese Business Federation. She can be considered a princess and is someone worth competing for."

President Arisu began to point out each one, which made Marin, who was listening with great interest, ask some confusing questions.

"President Arisu, why are you introducing beautiful girls to Takema-kun?"

President Arisu said nothing but pointed to Shun's face.

After Marin looked at it carefully, she subtly diverted her gaze from his face and whispered:

"Indeed, these girls are very suitable for Takema-kun."

Shun: "😐"

Although he wanted to deny something, he thought about it carefully; it had nothing to do with him.

The three of them continued walking, and President Arisu suddenly straightened her face and stared seriously at a long-haired girl coming from the other side.

Although the other party had not dressed up intentionally, her extraordinary appearance and temperament still caught the attention of all three.

"Is that 'Ice Princess Kaguya'?" Marin quietly approached Shun with fear, their shoulders touching.

During this period, Shinomiya Kaguya often presented herself to outsiders with a cold demeanor.

Many people thought that the daughter of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu family was someone high-ranking and hard to reach. Even Marin, who had some social attributes, was quite impressed by this 'Ice Princess Kaguya.'

"I heard Shinomiya-san also intends to run for the student council election. Takema-kun, she might be your biggest rival."

On the other hand, Shun was not prepared to face formidable opponents like them. He looked at Kaguya without admiration and said meaningfully:

"She might become my right-hand person in the future."

President Arisu frowned and was about to tell Shun how strong the other party was, but suddenly a scream was heard from the middle of the lake.

"Help---!"

"Kashiwagi-san fell into the lake!"

"What is that? Is there something at the bottom of the lake?!"

Panic screams and female cries echoed in the distance.

More than ten people gathered around the wooden walkway, but no one dared to enter the water to save the person.

At the same time, Kaguya, who was being observed by the three, jumped into the lake without hesitation and swam toward the drowning Nagisa.

If according to the original work, this would be a heroic act performed by Kaguya in her first year.

But now the world has mysteriously come to life!

In just a few breaths, another cry came from across the wooden walkway.

No one expected that Kaguya would sink like Nagisa!

The aquatic plants in the lake seemed to hold both of them tightly, as if something was dragging them into the lake as they continued to sink and struggle.

The panicked calls came with urgency.

President Arisu's expression changed, and she immediately rushed toward the sports warehouse to look for equipment, while calling out for someone.

Marin tightly gripped Shun's arm in fear, and her face turned pale.

"Takema-kun, I just saw something in the lake. It's over... Shinomiya-san and Kashiwagi-san are drowning! What should we do?"

The panicked girl looked at the boy beside her in confusion.

At this moment, Shun seemed unhurried but calmly stared at her and asked:

"Kitagawa-san, you said a thick fog suddenly appeared from the lake during the day. Is that normal?"
