April. It had been a month since Nagano Narumi's last visit. Now that the school holidays were over, Milan Private High School had started.
Each school year in Japan was divided into three semesters. The start time was April and September. There was winter break, spring break, and summer break. The first semester was April to August, the second semester was September to December, and the third semester was January to March.
Today was the first day of school at Milan Private High School. Pei Zi Yun finished his breakfast, packed his things, and rushed to school under his mother's urging.
Milan Private High School was one of the best high schools in the area. The Yamada family had spent a lot of money to let Pei Zi Yun study in this high school.
Its schedule was the same as almost all high schools, starting at 8: 00 in the morning and ending at 3: 40 in the afternoon. Although it was not far from Yamada's house, it still had to take a tram to get there.
Pei Zi Yun boarded the tram. There were many people on the tram, but it was relatively quiet. Generally, no one spoke. However, today seemed to be a little different. Some people boarded the tram and were whispering.
"Nakajima, have you read 'The Samurai Under the Cherry Blossoms' in Shiroishi Magazine? The style of this article is a bit cold, but it's really written in a good way, "a man said in a low voice.
"Koga-kun, you haven't read the latest issue yet. Although it's the same author, his' The Change of Fujin Gate 'is more in-depth and more cruel. Tsk tsk tsk, it can be said that it's as beautiful as cherry blossoms. "
"Haha, you are all outdated. I heard that the author's third and first long story, 'Who is the Second Man', is ready to be published."
"Really? Is this considered an official debut? It's really smooth! "
"For people with strength, isn't this a matter of course?"
As the three of them spoke, their voices became louder. At this time, a passenger coughed. Hearing the coughing sound, the three of them blushed and bowed their heads slightly to express their apology. They did not speak.
When the three of them boarded the tram, Pei Zi Yun heard the conversation, but he did not expect to hear them talking about his published works. For a new author, to be able to cause a discussion was already very good. It seemed that Shiroishi Institute Publishing House still had a certain amount of influence.
Speaking of which, although this period of time was not long, it was not short either.
After Pei Zi Yun gave the authorization to Sakako Sanako, she helped him solve the problem of signing a contract with White Stone Academy Publishing House. She successively handed over "Samurai Under the Cherry Blossoms" and "The Change of the Fujin Gate" to White Stone Academy Publishing House for publication.
As expected, "Samurai Under the Cherry Blossoms" and "The Change of Fujin Gate" were well received. The name of the newcomer, Yamada Shinichi, also received attention.
Many people were trying to find out who Yamada Shinichi was. Some people who were interested in literature and had some status directly called Shiroishi Academy Publishing House to ask about Yamada Shinichi.
Fortunately, there was a three-year confidentiality clause in the agreement between Sakako Sanako and Shiroishi Academy. The reason was very sufficient. Although in Japan, one could get married at the age of 16, if they were less than 16 years old, they were too young. They should be protected and not let the outside world disturb them.
The White Stone Academy expressed its approval.
Two days ago, Pei Zi Yun had officially handed over the rights to "Who is the Second Man" to White Stone Academy. Baishi Academy, which had been recognized by the review and received a good response in the second phase, increased its investment in Yamada Shinichi. Therefore, after "Who is the Second Person" was approved, Baishi Academy did some publicity work.
This was really delightful.
"Sakako Sanako is doing well, and Baishi Academy's work is really exciting." Pei Zi Yun was still in a good mood. The speed of the tram was not considered fast, but he still arrived at the school in time.
Pei Zi Yun came down and walked a few steps before he reached the Milan Private High School. Before he could even enter, someone rushed towards him and shouted, "Yamada, am I not your best friend? Why can't I find you this holiday? You're such a jerk! "
Pei Zi Yun looked at the boy in front of him. It was Yuta Yuta. He was Yamada Shinichi's friend. He had thick black eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing a white shirt, shorts, and a hat as he complained.
"Ah, I'm really sorry, Yuta. I went to travel and practice my swordsmanship during the holiday!" Pei Zi Yun said to Yuta Yuta.
"Ah, is that so?" Yuta Yuta touched his head and realized that he had only touched his hat. He then put his hand down again.
Yuta Yuta was Yamada Shinichi's best friend. To Yuta Yuta, it was unbelievable that Pei Zi Yun did not look for him to play during the holiday.
Luckily, Yuta Yuta was an impatient person. His enthusiasm towards anything did not last more than three minutes. After a few perfunctory words, he no longer cared about this.
Turning his eyes, Yuta quickly shifted his attention to his surroundings and exclaimed, "It's really lively here!"
At the main entrance of the school, there was a sign saying "Welcome new students". Entering the main road, both sides of the road were already occupied by various societies. They were filled with introductions of the societies, their achievements, and their works. The seniors were all wearing the same uniform, holding a stack of things in their hands, and handing out flyers for the societies.
As Yuta walked, he faced Pei Zi Yun and said, "I've asked around. Milan Private High School, even if you're in the middle school department, you have to join a society. This is really troublesome, and not everyone is looking forward to it!"
"There will always be people who are not interested in societies, and only want to live a peaceful life!"
"But since this is the school's rule, there's nothing I can do about it."
"You're good at your studies, are you preparing to join the learning department? If you want to practice sword arts during the holidays, why don't you join the kendo department? "
Pei Zi Yun did not reply. Looking at the excited crowd and the dazzling new students, he said, "Whether it's training or interest, isn't it the same? Do you know what a worker ant is? "
"… Although I don't understand what you're talking about, I feel that it's filled with evil intentions!" Yuta Yuta said.
(̄ _ ̄)) Pei Zi Yun's expression froze for a moment before he turned to Yuta and asked, "If it's about the Kendo Club, do you think I can become the leader if I defeat all the seniors in the club?"
"What? Yamada, why would you have such thoughts? "
"Respect for the seniors is a must. Let's not talk about whether you can do it or not. Even if you can do it, the school and the seniors will view you as a delinquent. If it's a light punishment, you'll be isolated, and if it's a heavy punishment, you'll be expelled." Yuta opened his eyes wide, and looked at his good friend, Yamada Shinji, with an astonished expression.
At this point, a senior who was passing by said, "Hey, are you a new student who just entered the school? How about joining our poetry club? If you join our poetry club, you'll receive great benefits! " As he said this, he took out two leaflets introducing the poetry club and handed them to Pei Zi Yun and Yuta.
Yuta looked at the person in front of him, who was dressed in a second year uniform, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Greetings, senior!"
"We'll take a look first. If we wish to join the poetry club, we'll contact you." Pei Zi Yun (̄ _ ̄) lowered his head as he said this.
When the second year senior walked away, Pei Zi Yun then said to Yuta, "Look, this is what a worker ant is, and seniors are like — if you don't understand, you can't do anything about it. Follow me!"
"Ai, Yamada, what are you trying to do? Where do you want me to go? "Yuuta asked curiously as he followed behind Pei Zi Yun.
"Also, Yamada, shouldn't we register to join a club first? Why are we walking around aimlessly now? Also, if it's too late, all the good clubs will be full, and that won't be good. "
Yuta followed Pei Zi Yun for a while, and realized that they had arrived at an activity room.
Pei Zi Yun pushed the door open and entered. At this point, Yuta saw the signboard of the student council.
At that moment, Yuta was so scared that he started trembling. That bastard, Yamada, why did he come here for no reason? This was not a place for him to wander around aimlessly. If the student council found out that he was wandering around aimlessly, and the president found out, what would he do?
Would he be forgiven if he apologized to the president immediately?
These thoughts flashed through Yuta's mind. At this point, he wanted to tug at Pei Zi Yun's clothes to stop him from entering.
However, before Yuta could reach out, Pei Zi Yun had already entered the room. The wooden floor was soaked in oil and had been wiped clean. The space was huge, and was divided into offices. There were people working at the back, and occasionally, there would be people walking in and out, whispering to each other. It looked exactly like a government or a company.
Pei Zi Yun was slightly impressed. In Japan, the student council (student council) in primary and secondary schools was guided by teachers, and was organized by the students. There was a student council, an executive committee, a supervision committee, and various other committees in charge of coordinating and implementing activities related to the students. It was like a mini 'government'.
To a certain extent, it could be seen as a preview of how the students would participate in politics and manage the community after they grew up.
In other words, the basic principles of the student council were the same as in the adult world. Democratic elections, majority rule, school rules, and student council rules. If it was placed in society, it would be governed by the law and parliament.
"Primary schools would rather give in to knowledge and education in order to nurture order and recognition. Middle schools and universities would use clubs to allow students to spend most of their time in groups other than studying and sleeping.
"Just this alone would be like nurturing a group of worker ants.
"But from middle school onwards, outstanding people would be elected to their positions. They would be able to manage the affairs of the students in an orderly manner. Anime and Japanese dramas might be a little exaggerated, but it is true that one does not rely on pleasing the teachers and studying well to get to a position.
"Those who cannot stand out are trained to be obedient soldiers. Those who stand out are given status. Japan's education system is very clear and brilliant!"
Feeling emotional, Pei Zi Yun bowed 15 degrees to the young girl. "You must be the president. I am a freshman from Class A, Yamada Shinichi. And this is Yuta Yuuyama. Sorry to disturb you, please take care of me!"
Yuuyama Yuuyama could only bite the bullet and bow deeply. "President, sorry to disturb you, please take care of me!"
The young girl bowed back. "Hello, I am the thirty-first president of Milan Private High School, Seiko Harada. Please take care of me."
After returning the bow, she looked at the two of them. "What do you want?"
Pei Zi Yun did not beat around the bush and said directly, "President, I am here to apply to establish a new club."
The student council was also responsible for the establishment of clubs, but this was mainly the responsibility of the president. Because clubs were very important to the school, it was not easy to establish a club. Not only did it have to be reviewed, but it also had to be considered in many other aspects.
"What kind of club do you want to establish?" Yuuyama Yuuyama did not get angry. Instead, he asked.
Of course, Yuuyama Yuuyama was also very curious. Generally speaking, those who established clubs were second and third year students. This was the first time she had seen a first year student wanting to establish a club.
Because establishing a club not only required a specific activity program, it also required a certain number of people to join. It was very difficult for a first year student to recruit members.
"President, please listen to my dream. I want to establish … a club that dominates the entire country!" Pei Zi Yun did not care about her thoughts. After pausing for a while, he shouted loudly.
