'Benefits?'
To so straightforwardly ask about the benefits, Horikita Manabu thought that such a student was quite rare.
Even if someone had such a thought in their hearts, they would usually hide their intentions, and then benefit from their status as a council member afterwards.
So, the benefits of being a part of the student council only came later.
Observing Ying Ye Zhenshi's serious gaze, Horikita spoke frankly.
"Whether you join a school club or the student council, as long as you stay on top of your grades, you will receive an income in private points. If you apply to join the student council, I will arrange for you to receive 100,000 points a month. And if you perform exceptionally well, there will be additional rewards. Of course, with additional income comes additional responsibilities, such as resolving disputes between students, club activity planning, and the implementation of various school rules, all of which are overseen by the student council, and you will also have to carry out such tasks."
The tasks seemed more like a reminder for Ying Ye Zhenshi so that he wouldn't think of receiving the 100,000 without doing anything.
"100,000 private points is only the income for new members of the Student Council. If you hold a certain position, for example by becoming the president of the student council, or the vice president, etc., the points earned would increase. It all depends on your ability."
"That sounds really interesting."
Ying Ye Zhenshi listened and became a little interested in joining the student council.
If one had points, they would also have power.
But some reservations also came to mind.
'Is this a plan to diversify the type of students in the student council? To add talents in 'various fields'? He must've frankly told me about the points to tempt me.'
So he had no plans of directly agreeing to his offer.
"You can take your time to think about it carefully and give me an answer when we meet next."
He didn't agree right away, so Horikita didn't force the matter either.
The person facing him was only invited to join because of his special way of thinking and deduction abilities, as well as his interesting identity as a Class D student.
If he refused though, there was nothing that could be done, the president didn't plan to force the matter.
"Okay, goodbye, President Senpai and beautiful Senpai-san."
Now, having been left with the invitation and most of his queries answered, Ying Ye Zhenshi really left.
"This junior has such a weird way of thinking. Is he really from Class D? Would such a person really be assigned to Class D? Was it an accident?"
After the purple-haired leopard-head-looking senpai confirmed that Ying Ye Zhenshi had left, she walked over to Horikita Manabu's side and asked as she was a little curious.
She had no objections to her superior's invitation to Ying Ye Zhenshi to join the student council.
It would naturally be a good thing to have capable first-years joining them.
Regarding his identity as a class D student. she was quite interested in knowing more.
And as far as his ability to discover things and express himself was concerned, even students of class A and B may not have been able to compete.
"It was not an accident. He is a student in class D, but being a student in class D does not mean that there is a problem with his ability. Class D is just a gathering place for problem children. But children with problems are not necessarily useless."
Horikita fished out the private files on Ying Ye Zhenshi.
[Name: Ying Ye Zhenshi]
[Class: Class D, Year 1]
[Student ID: S01T004648]
[Academic Ability: A]
[Intelligence: A]
[Decision Making: A]
[Physical Ability: A]
[Cooperativeness: D]
[Entrance examination scores: 100, 100…]
This panel was based on the exams carried out preceding the student's entry and observations of each student.
His exam results were basically all full marks, and the physical aspect of his could also be considered the absolute peak of what a middle school student could achieve.
The comments from the interview and Ying Ye Zhenshi's living conditions before joining the school had not been recorded.
At least, there was no record of it in Horikita Manabu's file.
"Sure enough, whether it is his learning ability or his other abilities, they are all excellent. Even if his teamwork skills are a little bad, since the issue is not that serious, he would have been a student of class A or class B. It should be that something happened in his middle school, so he was recommended to this school."
Horikita looked over the information and became more certain about the situation of this kouhai of his.
"Tachibana-san. Arrange a meeting with those second-years."
He didn't wish to spend too much time on this matter since he still had matters to attend to later.
"I'll arrange it now."
Hearing Horikita Manabu's words, Akane Tachibana, his secretary, nodded and took action.
Only Horikita was left in the student council office.
'Suzune…'
He began to think of his stupid, little sister.
He felt that his sister would not have a comfortable experience at this school.
It was too dangerous to be in the same class as such a maverick.
Ying Ye Zhenshi had no idea that the student council president, whom he had just left behind? was still thinking about him.
He went to the cafeteria to check on the situation.
There was indeed a free meal set available.
He decided to order the set.
The vegetables were very bland.
If he wanted to lose weight one day, he would think about this meal set.
There was hardly any taste at all.
It was like it was made to torture poor students.
After the 'high-maintenance-female'-like teen had his meal [T/N: Mocking YYZ for his provisions standard], he visited the campus again, bought some sports equipment, and then returned to his dorm room to rest.
Now that he understood the situation of the school and the various rules and regulations, he can spend his days lazily and sleep contentedly.
And while he was busy resting away the day's fatigue…
"What did you say?!"
"Which bastard is it?!"
"We barely even said anything?!"
Several second-year students who had previously argued with the red-haired teenager from Ying Ye Zhenshi's class were very unhappy.
They didn't think they would be called to the student council office for such a thing.
Even Nagumo Miyabi, the vice president of the student council, came through.
As the representative of class A in the second year, and also the ruler of the entirety of his year, Nagumo Miyabi, a handsome boy, with short golden locks and a gentle smile on his face, appeared very amiable and charismatic as of this moment.
Although the three second-year boys wanted to refute the claims, in front of their year's ruler, all resistance was useless, and they could only admit to doing and saying such things at the beginning of the school year.
