Student council office at the same time.
Horikita Manabu finished his work and looked at the yellow-haired Nagumo Miyabi from class two, who was also the student council vice-president.
"Nagumo, I think you mentioned wanting student Kamio Tatsuya from class D of the first year to join the student council."
"Oh? I didn't think Student Leader Horikita Manabu would remember that, and even remember Junior Kamio's name." Nagumo smiled. "That is true, but I've invited him several times, and Junior Kamio has refused cleanly."
"Actually, I invited him once in May. I also think he's fully capable of doing student council work."
Horikita Manabu's words surprised Nagumo, who also instantly thought he might have looked down on Kamio Tatsuya.
To be recognized by his rival, Horikita Manabu, did that guy do something I don't know about?
But since it was an invitation in May, that means he didn't accept Student Leader Horikita Manabu either.
"Should I continue inviting him to join the student council? But we recruited a bunch of people from the second year recently, so there might not be any free spots for him."
"Isn't there still one?"
Still one?
Nagumo was a little confused, but immediately understood Horikita Manabu's meaning.
Wait, are you thinking about making a first-year student who's only been in school for less than three months the student council vice-president?
Nagumo was shocked twice by Horikita Manabu in a short period of time.
Not only does he think highly of him, but he even thinks he's good enough to be the student council vice-president?
Nagumo suddenly felt uncomfortable.
What's so special about that kid?
For Student Leader Horikita Manabu to think so highly of him?
Why didn't I see the special things about him?
As expected of Student Leader Horikita Manabu, so great.
For a moment, Nagumo's mood became very complicated, with respect for Student Leader Horikita Manabu, not being as good as him, and finally, jealousy of Kamio Tatsuya mixed with a bit of pride.
Nagumo Miyabi was in class B when he first entered school and then rose from class B to class in less than a year.
And during last year's student council election, he also competed for the position of president with Horikita Manabu. Even though he lost, his support rate in his grade wasn't low.
For Nagumo, he respects Horikita Manabu while wanting to beat him at all times. Therefore, he will also be jealous of those Horikita Manabu values.
But because he discovered this good seed Kamio Tatsuya first, he thinks he's better than Horikita Manabu in this aspect, so he also feels a bit proud.
"I didn't think Student Leader Horikita Manabu would value a first-year freshman this much," Nagumo said in a strange tone. "I'll invite him to join the student council again, but Junior Kamio will probably still refuse."
"The summer club activities require student council members to go with them. If he knew that, maybe he'd change his mind," Horikita Manabu said nonchalantly. "That's it for today. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Watching Horikita Manabu's departing back, Nagumo Miyabi narrowed his eyes.
Does he want to win over Kamio Tatsuya to fight me?
No, he should know that Kamio Tatsuya is someone I value, so why?
Does he want me to distance myself from Junior Kamio?
Nagumo Miyabi wasn't sure what to make of Horikita Manabu's words just now.
Could this be a trick to divide us?
But that's too obvious, right? How could I, Nagumo Miyabi, fall for it?
A few minutes later, Kamio Tatsuya received a call from Nagumo Miyabi.
"Good afternoon, Senior Nagumo. Is there something you need me for at this time?"
Hearing Kamio Tatsuya's voice, Nagumo became a little cautious without realizing it.
"Student Leader Horikita Manabu said that he invited you to join the student council, but you didn't accept."
Student Leader Horikita Manabu?
It seems like that did happen.
Kamio Tatsuya gradually remembered that it was probably in early May.
"That's right, but I refused right away."
Hearing Kamio Tatsuya's voice after a long pause, Nagumo's mood became a little complicated.
Why did he take so long to answer?
Is he finding an excuse?
Could it be that he really wants to accept Student Leader Horikita Manabu's invitation to join the student council and fight against me?
"Okay, I understand. So, do you want to join the student council now?"
"I'm sorry, Senior Nagumo. I'm really not interested. No, let me be clear. I really don't want to work."
Faced with Nagumo's repeated invitations, Kamio Tatsuya also felt a little embarrassed.
After all, Nagumo did help him a lot.
Nagumo wasn't surprised by Kamio Tatsuya's answer, but what he was about to say next was the point.
"There are very good benefits to being a member of the student council," Nagumo said in a tempting tone. "For example, student council members can go with the club competition this summer. In other words, you can leave school."
Ah, this…
You're actually telling me this?
But, I really don't want to leave school, so you don't have to tempt me.
It would be better to bribe me with points than this.
But seeing how determined Nagumo looked, Kamio Tatsuya felt that even if he didn't agree today, he would still be bothered later.
Is joining the student council something I can't avoid?
Kamio Tatsuya thought about it for a bit and came up with an answer.
"Senior Nagumo, I heard President Horikita say that we first-years will soon have a special exam where we can earn a lot of private points."
This made Nagumo Miyabi, who was still trying to sound him out, pause. Horikita Manabu even told you that?
His mood instantly soured.
"Junior Kamio? You don't want me to tell you the exam content, do you?"
Now it was Kamio Tatsuya's turn to be surprised.
"Exam content? Can the student council even do something like that?"
"Of course not. I was just joking."
Haha, that joke wasn't funny at all.
"But according to past practice, you will indeed have a special exam soon where you can earn a lot of private points. If nothing goes wrong, it should be during the summer vacation."
"I see." Kamio Tatsuya nodded and stated his purpose. "If Senior Nagumo can give me some tips, I'll join the student council and help you out."
If he didn't join the student council, Nagumo would probably come to him every now and then.
Honestly, that's annoying. Since that's the case, he might as well use joining the student council to exchange for some benefits.
If he could get a head start in this exam where he could get a lot of points, maybe he could get enough points to transfer classes.
That way, he wouldn't have to be controlled by others all the time.
