Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The Senior with Low Emotional Intelligence.
After about thirty seconds of silence, the senior on stage finally began to speak while slowly looking around at all the students.
"I am Horikita Manabu, the student council president."
Horikita Manabu? Horikita?
No wonder she glared at me earlier. Is this guy related to you, Horikita Suzune?
"The student council will recruit outstanding first-year students to take responsibility for the school's atmosphere and order as the senior students graduate."
Taking responsibility for the school's atmosphere and order, what a bold statement.
Well, maybe that's the power and duty the student council has in this school.
"So, this guy is the top student in this school?" A cold-faced man with long red hair nearby commented.
"Students who are confident in their abilities can apply to join. We will thoroughly investigate to determine if you are fit to be a student council member," Horikita Manabu continued without expression. "Applicants don't need special qualifications, but please avoid joining other clubs. Those who wish to join both the student council and other clubs will generally not be accepted."
Although his tone was gentle, it made the atmosphere in the gym very tense. Just by himself, he made over a hundred students fall silent.
This ability to control the situation showed he was a natural leader, an undeniable superior.
Impressive!
This was the first time Kanda had seen such a person in this school. Just like the red-haired guy said, is this the top student in the school?
Looking at Horikita Suzune in front, Kanda Shuichi smirked, "Both of them are Horikita, but the difference is huge."
Hearing this, Horikita Suzune's body shook, but surprisingly, she didn't argue with Kanda Shuichi.
"Lastly, our student council does not want naive candidates. Such people won't be elected and will likely tarnish the school's reputation. Our student council is entrusted by the school to change the rules and fulfill its mission, so we have high expectations. We only welcome those who understand this."
Horikita Manabu's speech ended, and the host, Tachibana-senpai, quickly came on stage to give the closing remarks.
"Thank you, everyone. The orientation is now over. We will start accepting club applications. Since applications will be accepted until the end of April, those who wish to apply later can bring their forms directly to the club they want to join."
Tachibana-senpai's words eased the tense atmosphere in the gym. With such a superior, Tachibana-senpai must be...
No, it's because of such a superior that Tachibana-senpai is the student council secretary.
After the student council secretary's summary, the club representatives began accepting student applications.
Kanda Shuichi and Miyake Akito, who planned to wait until there were fewer people, suddenly found that not many students were actually joining clubs.
No wonder, this school has very few students, only four classes, which is much less compared to the seven or eight or even more classes in regular schools.
Moreover, the school's system is very unique. Besides joining clubs, students can find other ways to entertain themselves. So unless a student is very interested, they rarely join clubs.
So now, in front of Hashibara-senpai, the captain of the archery club, there were only two girls asking questions, seemingly interested in joining.
Since that's the case, there's no need to wait. Just go over.
Seeing Miyake and Kanda approaching, Hashibara-senpai's face clearly showed a bit of joy because Sato-senpai had specifically mentioned that a particularly talented boy would definitely join the archery club today.
Based on Sato-senpai's description, it should be the boy with short hair.
As Kanda Shuichi and Miyake Akito got closer, Hashibara-senpai immediately stopped explaining to the girls and looked at the two of them.
"Which one of you is Miyake?"
Although she asked this, her eyes didn't look at Kanda at all.
Facing Hashibara-senpai's intense gaze, Miyake raised his hand, "Uh, that's me."
This scene made Miyake a bit embarrassed. He didn't like being the center of attention, especially when it meant leaving others aside.
And, senpai, is it really okay to leave those two potential members and focus on me?
Think about it, if you were applying to join the archery club and the person in charge left you to warmly welcome someone else, how would you feel, especially if you were there first?
Although Miyake didn't care much about others' opinions, no one likes seeing others' bad faces. If those girls joined the club, they might become enemies from that moment.
In short, Miyake felt that Hashibara-senpai didn't seem to read the room well. Simply put, she had low emotional intelligence. Why would Sato-senpai let such a senpai handle club applications?
However, Miyake's worries didn't come true. The girls waiting there were also curiously looking at the embarrassed Miyake.
They had heard that the archery club would get a strong new member this year. Was it this person?
"Hello, Miyake. I'm Asano Kyoko from Class 1-A, and this is my classmate Nishida Miho ." Seeing Miyake's embarrassment, the tall, flat-chested girl named Asano Kyoko introduced herself and her companion, Nishida Miho .
"Hello."
Compared to Asano Kyoko , Nishida Miho was much more introverted.
"Hello, I'm Miyake Akito from Class 1-D, and this is my classmate, Kanda Shuichi"
Hearing Miyake's introduction, especially when he mentioned Class 1-D, Asano Kyoko didn't react much, but Nishida Miho's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Kanda Shuichi didn't miss this hint.
Does Class 1-A know the differences between classes? And this girl doesn't seem to be the leader of Class 1-A, so the leader must have shared this information with everyone and made them believe it?
If that's the case, Class 1-D is already far behind from the start. Hirata, you need to work hard.
After Miyake's brief introduction, Kanda Shuichi nodded slightly, "Hello, I'm Kanda Shuichi."
Seeing the friendly introductions, Hashibara-senpai crossed her arms, "The archery club is getting four new members this year. That's great."
Seeing the excited Hashibara-senpai, Kanda Shuichi didn't say anything to dampen the mood.
