Opening his eyes, the ceiling gradually became familiar.
It was Friday, and Yen Xi got up at seven in the morning to tidy up and even made breakfast.
Yesterday, the "Tie Band" had its premiere, and because Pochi-chan had to go home, the celebratory feast didn't happen.
In the end, they all went their separate ways, and Yen Xi spent his first night after being transported here.
At the dining table, Yen Xi ate breakfast while opening his phone, and there were several new contacts in the empty chat software.
Honoka Kosaka, Mai Sakurajima, and Ichirī Gotō.
Pochi-chan had only sent an old-fashioned emoticon when she added Yen Xi, and she hadn't taken the initiative to contact him since.
Mai Sakurajima had said goodnight to Yen Xi last night, confirming her current situation.
The one who chatted most frequently was still Honoka Kosaka, who was bombarding him with messages early in the morning.
Honoka Kosaka: "A-xi, you have to go to school properly today."
Because Yen Xi had said yesterday that he didn't want to go to school, Honoka Kosaka had been nagging him about it until now.
Yen Xi: "I'm getting ready to go to school."
Honoka Kosaka: "That's good. By the way, I plan to tell Little Bird and Little Sea about that today!"
Honoka Kosaka was referring to being school idols.
Yen Xi: "Then you go for it."
Honoka Kosaka sent a "Hmm hmm" emoticon.
After finishing breakfast and tidying up, Yen Xi put on his Shuchiin uniform and went out.
"A-xi."
As soon as Yen Xi went out, he ran into Ijichi Nijika. The girl was wearing a white shirt and a black pleated knee-length skirt, white short socks, and the standard JK small leather shoes.
"Nijika-san, good morning," Yen Xi greeted her.
Ijichi Nijika was a second-year student at Shimokitazawa High School, while Yen Xi was a first-year. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her senpai.
However, the usage of "san" in Japanese is very broad. It can be used to express respect, and depending on the situation, it can be translated as "san, miss, mr," etc.
"Don't be so formal, just call me by my name," Ijichi Nijika said with a smile.
Yen Xi nodded and added, "Nijika."
Ijichi Nijika was taken aback and asked, "A-xi, did something... happen to you?"
The previous Yen Xi had been a bit formal, and Ijichi Nijika had suggested calling him by his name, but he still had the "san" suffix.
Yen Xi didn't change his expression. He smiled and said, "There is indeed something, but it's developing in a good direction."
Ijichi Nijika nodded. From their interactions yesterday and today, it was quite convincing.
"If anything happens, be sure to tell me," Ijichi Nijika urged.
For a neighbor who had only moved in a month, she was so caring. Yen Xi joked, "Can I call you the 'Archangel of Shimokitazawa'?"
"What kind of a name is that? So embarrassing!"
...
...
At 8:40, Yen Xi entered the classroom of Class 1-A.
Shuchiin Academy's Class 1-A brought together the most "outstanding" students of the entire grade, with only Yen Xi as an exception.
This class included familiar names like Kaguya Shinomiya, Chika Fujiwara, and Mafuyu Shijo.
Coming to Shuchiin to study, learning was not the key, the important thing was accumulating connections.
These children of high officials and wealthy people would, without exception, be the ones to influence the future of this country.
Yen Xi sat down at his seat. The classmates saw him and directly ignored him, no one greeted him.
Yen Xi thought, it was the same treatment as Mai Sakurajima.
Since enrolling, Yen Xi had not experienced any violence. He was just given the cold shoulder by those around him, their disdainful looks were not concealed.
Yen Xi had seriously considered dropping out. If he went to the neighboring Hyakkaou Academy, he would clearly be able to thrive.
If all else failed, there was always the alternative of Tōtsuki High School. There were "acquaintances" there, and it was also a good choice.
However, if he dropped out without a word, wouldn't these people be delighted?
Just thinking about their smug faces made him uncomfortable!
Unconsciously, the morning classes ended.
During the lunch break, Yen Xi was about to go to the cafeteria when he suddenly heard an announcement over the loudspeaker.
"Yen Xi, a student of Class 1-A, please go to the student council room immediately."
"Student council?" Yen Xi frowned, unable to figure out what he had to do with the student council.
The student council of Shuchiin was not like the mascot-like student councils of other schools. The rights they possessed and the resources they could mobilize were unimaginable for ordinary people.
"It doesn't hurt to take a look."
With this in mind, Yen Xi went to the cafeteria.
Compared to the student council, lunch was more important!
The Shuchiin student cafeteria was luxurious. It was said that as long as you had the money, you could eat delicacies from all over the world.
Of course, this was an exaggeration, the only thing that could be reflected was how expensive the cafeteria was.
After all, normal Shuchiin students didn't lack money.
After lunch, the school announcement was broadcast again. Yen Xi wiped his mouth and leisurely headed to the student council room.
"You're awfully slow, Yen Xi-kun."
The student council president, dressed in black, frowned and said to Yen Xi.
This was the 66th student council president of Shuchiin, the predecessor of Shirogane Miyuki.
"I'm sorry, I had to eat lunch before I came."
He said sorry, but Yen Xi didn't look sorry at all.
"Does the student council president have something for me?"
The student council president took a deep breath. He wanted to say, he hadn't even had lunch yet!
"I'll just get straight to the point. Yen Xi-kun, I hope you'll join the student council."
Except for the student council president, who was elected by the whole school, the other positions could be directly appointed by the president.
Yen Xi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Reason?"
The president got up from his seat, with his hands behind his back, he looked out the window.
"We are all people who live in a miniature garden called Shuchiin. We need someone who has seen the outside world from a complete perspective. Please let us make use of your knowledge."
The "we" here naturally referred to the aristocratic children, the "pure school" who had been enrolled since kindergarten and had gradually risen through the grades.
Shuchiin Academy had expanded its enrollment in recent years, and the number of "mixed school" students had increased. The problems between the pure school and mixed school had gradually emerged.
This student council president was very capable. He wanted to change the prejudices in the students' minds.
"It's hard to be looked down upon, isn't it? Don't you want to change this? Starting now, join the student council!"
The student council president extended his hand to Yen Xi from across the air. He had excellent speaking skills.
"Just joining the student council can change the status quo?" Yen Xi looked hopeful.
"That's right, change the status quo of this school with me!" The president felt confident.
"...Dagga, Kotto Waru!"
The student council president: "..."
