Just when Kato Yusuke offered a moment of silence for the boys from Class D of the first year who were taken to the back of the gymnasium by Teacher Maria...

"——Next, we will commend those who achieved outstanding results in the previously held national mock exams..."

Director Yamashiro's precise words came from the loudspeaker.

"Class A of the third year, Nakano Ryoko, classmate, Class D of the second year, Shiha Kasumigaoka."

Pah pah pah pah——

Clear and powerful applause sounded in the hall.

Kato Yusuke subconsciously looked towards the stage and saw a slender figure slowly walking up to the stage amidst applause...

Hmm...one? Where's the other one?

At the same time, the students who also discovered something was wrong began to look for another person whose name was read out.

This caused a small commotion in the museum.

In the team of Class D in the second year.

"...Kasumigaoka-san, Kasumigaoka-san."

"……call……?"

"Wake up, Kasumigaoka-san, the teacher is calling your name."

(__)(-.-)(~O~)……(-.-)

"...Oh, I got it, thank you."

The girl who had just woken up from her sleep yawned, rubbed her eyes, got up from her seat, and walked to the stage...

"Wow, I'm actually sleeping..."

"Ah, if Kasumigaoka is indeed like this, don't be surprised."

"That's right~ I heard that she slept all the time during class and didn't do her homework at all, but she never got a grade other than the first in the school, so the teachers couldn't do anything to her."

"So handsome, he deserves to be a top student."

…

All the students were talking about this talented woman with admiration.

Director Yamashiro and Ryoko Nakano who were standing on the stage obviously heard these words.

The former couldn't help but have a dark look on his face, while the latter looked at the tall girl walking beside him with a smile.

Under the witness of all teachers and students.

As the two top students who ranked 19th and 21st in the national mock exam in July, Kasumigaoka Shiu and Nakano Ryoko successively received medals of commendation from Yamashiro.

With the warm applause again in the hall, the assembly on the first day of the new semester also came to an end.

Because there were classes in the afternoon, the students were not allowed to go home, but returned to their classrooms one after another.

As for the remaining representatives from the student union and each class, they started to pack up the folding chairs in the venue.

As the only male in the student union, this kind of physical work naturally belongs to him, so there is no need to discuss it with others.

I wanted to finish the finishing work quickly and return to the classroom, but my pace was interrupted by two people who suddenly appeared on the way.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang——"

"Congratulations on winning the Toyosaki Fastest High School Student Award from the Ministry of Information, President Kato~!"

A man and a woman with "Information Department" armbands on their sleeves spoke separately.

The former is holding a digital camera in his hand, and the latter is holding a recording pen in his hand.

"I am the current head of the Information Department, second-year Reimi Ogasawara. Could you please spare a moment and accept our interview?" the girl with neat short hair asked in a cheerful tone.

The boy wearing glasses behind him also smiled and waved, "Excuse me, I am Aoki, a second-year student. I am currently working as a photographer and logistics officer in the News Department. Please take care of me."

It can be seen that both of them have extroverted personalities, and there is no stage fright when greeting them. In addition, their cheerful smiles can also arouse the favor of others, which can be regarded as very suitable for the club they join.

However, after hearing their words, Kato Yusuke's face darkened, he stopped and asked, "Are you from the Information Department?"

"Yes~! The school newspaper posted on the bulletin board in the corridor on the first floor is the report we excerpted and polished by sorting out the content published in "Baochi Sports"."

The girl named Ogasawara nodded her head vigorously, looking a little proud, "Do you know us? President Kato~!"

"Oh, I didn't know before, but I know it today, and I probably won't forget it for a long time." Yusuke Kato showed a "smile" on his face.

"Na na! Did you hear that? Aoki!"

"Ah, I heard it clearly."

"Awesome~! That President Kato actually thinks so highly of us! It must be because of that excerpt!"

"Ahaha, didn't you expect that we have become so famous?"

"Hmm——!! But I still think I should write an exclusive interview with President Kato. Everyone will definitely like it!"

"Oh——! Come on!"

The two of them talked in front of Yusuke as if no one else was around, not noticing the evil spirit behind his smile at all, they were just excited and excited.

Until Kato Yusuke asked in a gentle tone: "You mean, which one of you came up with the title "Toyosaki's Fastest High School Student"?"

"I!"

"And I."

Ogasawara and Aoki raised their hands together, high-fived their hands in the air, and smiled at each other.

"Great! President Kato likes this title very much!"

"That's right. Compared with the title of "Japan's strongest high school student", our rhyme is indeed more realistic, right?"

“It’s great to think of this title!”

"Hahaha, great, great."

"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you to take the photo. Please make President Kato look more handsome~"

"Oh~ don't worry and leave it to me!"

The boy with glasses named Aoki gave a thumbs up.

And when Ogasawara finished interacting with his companions, he looked back at the boy, and saw that the smile on his face became more "gentle", but the bangs on his forehead cast a shadow on his delicate face under the sunlight.

, seems a little deep.

"Well, there are no classes right now, can President Kato accept our interview right away? I can't bear to say that I can only reprint the content of the "Hochi Sports" written by Aizawa reporter!

We will definitely write a wonderful interview for you!

By then, not only in our school, but also on SNS, more people will definitely know your name and results! As the fastest boy in Toyosaki Academy..."

"——No, it's not necessary." After hearing this, Kato Yusuke cut off Ogasawara's words directly, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Then he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Sorry, I don't like interviews, so I won't do it. That's it."

""Eh-eh——??""

"in addition……"

Ignoring the other party's disappointed expression, Yusuke continued: "As for the untrue content published by your department, if this happens again in the future, perhaps the student union will consider adjusting your department's funding."

""Eh--!?!?""

The two of them screamed in even more shock than before.

"Then I'll excuse you now, don't say you didn't predict what you said."

Having said this, Kato Yusuke took a deep look at them and walked away with cold steps.

He had to know that there would be a class meeting later to rearrange the seats, and he didn't have time to waste time here with two weirdos with strange brains.

Haha, he is the fastest boy in Toyosaki, right?

It should be said that Yusuke felt ashamed of the title of "Japan's Strongest High School Student" that was assigned to him by the newspaper before, but compared with the title that the Information Department thought of, it really pales in comparison.

I don’t know where those two people got the confidence to think that they were better than the reporter from Baochi Sports.

Peering into a spot, you can see the whole leopard; looking at a drop of water, you can see the vast ocean.

Under the influence of these two people, he now has a bad impression of the entire News Department.

Maybe we should really consider teaching them a lesson and let them understand that the tiger's butt cannot be touched...

Kato Yusuke smiled coldly when he thought of this, and pulled off the school newspaper from the bulletin board in the corridor, crumpled it into a ball and put it in his pocket.

Walk all the way to the penultimate classroom located in the west corridor, open the door and walk in.

Click, click, click.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"No, it doesn't matter. You go clean up the gymnasium. Thank you for your hard work." Nakamura Masaru, who was presiding over the class meeting, said with a smile. His skin tone was obviously much darker than before the holiday.

"Let me see... Kato, where is your seat... well, it's still the same as before, go back."
To be continued...
