Hikigaya arrived at the Football Club, followed by Nanase Tsubasa, Katsuragi, Horikita Suzune, and Instructor Mashima.
After all.
Hikigaya knew very well.
Concerns.
His own evaluation within the school also fell into the "trash" category; even with his status as the Student Council Vice President, it only made people feel a slight
No matter what he did.
Whether it was his reliability or his power to deter, both were basically zero.
But in the eyes of the students.
To a certain extent, teachers represented the school, represented the school's deterrence, and represented the school's credibility.
At the very least, it could give students quite a few concerns.
Even if the other party was a "trash" student, it could at least make them speak properly.
Therefore.
No matter what he did.
Hikigaya liked to drag Instructor Mashima along.
It couldn't be helped.
Who told Instructor Mashima to be the most reliable one among the teachers?
He felt truly sorry for making him work overtime all the time.
At this time.
Inside Gymnasium No. 3.
Unlike ordinary schools.
The sports clubs of Advanced Nurturing were basically all located in the gymnasium.
Inside the club, there were not only various sports equipment but also matching coaches, medical staff, and nutritionists.
The educational resources of Advanced Nurturing.
Were indeed at the top level in the country and the world.
Watching the group of people suddenly appear in the club, Shibata, with a towel draped over his shoulder, hurriedly stepped forward.
"Hikigaya? Katsuragi-kun, Horikita-san, and Mashima-sensei, is there something going on?"
"Student Council inspection."
Hikigaya, leading the way, asked: "Shibata, please call the person in charge of your club out."
"That would be me."
Shibata smiled brightly: "The third-years are about to graduate, so they rarely come to the club lately. I seem to be being groomed as the next captain."
"Anything you need, you can just tell me directly."
"I see."
Hikigaya nodded.
Already approaching the third year, it seemed Shibata had managed to reach the position of club captain.
To be able to surpass Hirata and gain the recognition of many people.
Shibata was indeed quite impressive.
"That works too. Let the members of the Football Club follow us and take a look."
Hikigaya nodded and followed along as they strolled around under Shibata's lead.
Hirata and many members from Class A.
Were respectively seeking out Horikita Suzune and Katsuragi to understand the situation.
Many members from Class C and the first-year group lowered their voices to discuss.
"Senpai, does the school still have Student Council inspections?"
"No, I'm not too sure either, but since Instructor Mashima is here, there probably are."
"Honestly, I've never heard of this before."
"Using a feather as an arrow of command."
Several people trailed behind at a distance, acting suspiciously and discussing in low voices.
With the previously relaxed school atmosphere, the Student Council rarely interfered in student affairs.
Now that they were interfering.
It instead gave off the feeling of being meddlesome.
Hikigaya didn't care and approached several school staff members.
A dining table was set up in front of them, piled with bento boxes. Hikigaya picked one up casually.
This bento.
Hikigaya had seen it long ago.
It was exactly the nutritional meal he often ate back in the Wool Club.
Only, he used to have to go to the cafeteria to swipe his card; he didn't expect the school to move it to the gymnasium for the Football Club.
It made sense.
After all, the Football Club was a formal activity club.
The food was also simple: broccoli, corn kernels, prawns, eggs, etc. It required each person's allotted special points to purchase for supplementary nutrition, which was sufficient.
"Speaking of which..."
Hikigaya held a box of the nutritional meal and looked back at the members of the Football Club:
"Do you guys think this tastes good?"
"Eh?"
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
They originally thought the Student Council's surprise inspection was for something important, but they didn't expect him to ask such a question.
Could it be that they were going to cut club funding?
Thinking of this.
Many people frowned.
To be honest.
This was actually somewhat irrelevant.
As long as one had enough personal points, wouldn't it be better to go to Keyaki Mall to eat some delicacies?
Wouldn't that be delicious?
Except for a very small number of students who lacked personal points or were extremely self-disciplined regarding health.
Very few people would choose the school's nutritional meals.
Even though it was nearly free.
Even Hikigaya didn't want to eat it anymore after eating it for a month or so. Although he used the excuse of saving personal points, he still went out frequently to improve his meals.
But thinking that special points might be reduced.
Even though they didn't use them, they still felt a bit displeased.
"Hmm..."
Shibata looked back at everyone and said somewhat helplessly:
"You should have gotten used to it after eating it for a long time, right? Right?"
"Yeah."
Hirata also nodded in agreement: "The school provides very good ingredients, so it's not exactly bad-tasting."
It was a matter of course.
No matter how nutritious it was, it couldn't be called delicious.
"I see."
Hikigaya nodded, a trace of a smile appearing on his lips as he said:
"I plan to apply to the school to expand the scope of use for special points. For example, being able to buy fried chicken, cola combos, and the like. What does everyone think?"
"Eh? Is that true?"
"Does the Student Council have such power?"
"Not exactly. We only have the power to make suggestions to the school, which is why I'm asking you now. What do you think?"
"Of course I approve!"
"Me too, me too! If that's the case, can we add more ramen combos and the like?"
"We can try."
"Then I want burgers, is that okay too?"
"While I can't guarantee success, I will try my best for you guys."
Looking at the members of the Football Club competing to speak in front of him, Hikigaya nodded with satisfaction.
It had to be like this.
Claiming to respect the students' autonomy while giving them no choice at all.
How could that work?
They were all just a group of sixteen and seventeen-year-old high school students.
Since they were high school students.
Give me more of this junk food like fried chicken and cola.
Eating nutritional meals every day—what's with all this excessive competition?
Hikigaya didn't believe they wouldn't take the bait.
"Also, now that the exchange ratio between class points and personal points has doubled, the personal points rewarded for various club achievements seem a bit meager."
"I think in coordination with the new system, the rewards should also double simultaneously. What do you all think?"
"I approve very much! Long live Vice President Hikigaya!"
"As expected of Vice President Hikigaya, I knew you would become the most outstanding president ever!"
The members of the Football Club raised their hands and spoke with some excitement.
It was a matter of course.
Who wouldn't like free money?
"That's good then."
Taking the already prepared petition from Nanase Tsubasa's hand, Hikigaya smiled and said:
"Then I'll trouble everyone to sign your names on this. I'll go talk to the school when the time comes."
"No problem."
"I thought the Student Council surprise inspection was for something else; turns out it's these great things."
Under Shibata's arrangement, a group of Football Club members happily lined up to sign.
Watching the scene before him.
The corners of Hikigaya's mouth curled up slightly.
The biggest gap between Classes A, B and Classes C, D.
Was self-discipline.
With such superior conditions.
He didn't believe they could still restrain themselves like this.
