Fangzheng didn't know what happened to Shibo Fuyuki and Mayumi Shicusa. For him, destroying the Four-Leaf Family was just a matter of convenience. It was to increase the "difficulty" of the protagonist Shibo Tataya. If Shibo Tataya couldn't be saved, then the world would abandon him.
Therefore, Fangzheng didn't worry about this at all. Instead, he began to prepare for the election of the student council president.
But to be honest, there was nothing to prepare.
In fact, after the Student Council announced that Fangzheng was running for the next student council president position, even those who were interested in running immediately and decisively chose to give up. Of course, this wasn't because Fangzheng was popular. Unlike Mayumi Shicusa, who was close to the people, and Nakajo Azusa, who was doted on like a small animal, Fangzheng wasn't loved. If anything, it could be said that people were more afraid of him.
And strictly speaking, Fangzheng wasn't very popular among men in No.1 High School. Of course, the female students were quite fond of Fangzheng. After all, he was handsome and talented. But for men, Fangzheng was obviously not an easy target to accept. Not to mention that Japanese society advocated going with the flow without pursuing one's self, and Fangzheng basically had the word "maverick" written on his face. It was impossible for the male students to respect him. On the contrary, they were more likely to hate or fear him.
In fact, the reason why others gave up on running was very simple. They had no confidence in suppressing Fangzheng. Even if they took ten thousand steps back and became the student council president, whether they expelled Fangzheng from the Student Council or ignored him, one could imagine that he would definitely be a troublemaker. Just imagining the things that he had done in school this semester, those candidates decisively chose to give up.
They knew that they didn't have Mayumi Shicusa's ability. Instead of taking stomach medicine all day after going on stage, it was better to let the culprit become the president and cause trouble himself …
Therefore, this student council president election was just a formality. As long as Fangzheng went on stage and gave a speech, everything would be fine.
But just because Fangzheng didn't care didn't mean that others didn't care.
"What happened between you and Si Bo?"
This was the first thing the Beishan Ao said to Fangzheng after school.
"Hmm? What do you mean? "
Fangzheng was confused, not understanding what she was talking about. Suika Mitsui, who was beside him, also hurriedly explained.
"Si Bo kept glaring at you during class today. Did you two have a fight?"
"No, who knows what's wrong with her. Maybe it's because I'm handsome that she's obsessed with me."
Fangzheng spread his arms and shrugged. To be honest, he really didn't pay much attention to this. After all, with Fangzheng's looks, he would be the center of attention no matter where he went. He would be the target of many young ladies. If he were to probe them one by one, wouldn't he go crazy?
"I don't think so. She looks like she's going to skin you alive …."
"She's probably in a bad mood because she's on her period."
Fangzheng's attitude towards Sibo Shenxue was actually quite ordinary. Although she was very beautiful, in Fangzheng's opinion, she was not one in a million. For some reason, Sibo Shenxue had quite a lot of secret admirers in school. But for Fangzheng, he felt that the Beishan Ao, Suika Mitsui, and Shibata Miyuki were not much worse than Sibo Shenxue.
The biggest reason was that Fangzheng always felt that Sibo Shenxue's beauty was not quite right.
How should he put it …. She was more like a man-made natural object.
It wasn't that Fangzheng had never seen beautiful androids before, such as the little angel, Altina, and Yui, but these girls were not specially made to be so beautiful. Although they were beautiful on the outside, it was mainly because of their inner temperament and charm.
But Sibo Shenxue was different. She gave Fangzheng the feeling that a sculptor must carve out the "most beautiful stone statue in the world".... such a feeling, whether it was her appearance or her inner self, could be regarded as being created.
As everyone knew, when an idea was pushed to the limit, it would always cause disgust. Especially something like "beauty", which could not be quantified and was highly subjective. Therefore, in Fangzheng's opinion, Sibo Shenxue was basically equivalent to a man-made diamond. She was indeed eye-catching, but she lacked the natural beauty of jade and jadeite.
This was another reason why Fangzheng was not particularly active in poaching Sibo Shenxue.
In fact, Fangzheng even felt that Sibo Shenxue was not as good as Kato Megumi. Although the latter was not particularly beautiful, her unique temperament and leisurely personality were still very attractive.
To be honest, when comparing between girls, it was meaningless to compare who was prettier after the score between 80 and 100. All that was left was to rely on their inner qualities and personality to win.
Of course, men's preferences were also important. For lolicons, anyone above the age of 14 was an auntie, so no matter how beautiful Sibo Shenxue was, they would not spare her a glance.
Those who liked plump fruits obviously did not care about Sibo Shenxue's not-so-obvious curves.
Speaking of which, Suika Mitsui and the Kitayama Kraken did not know that when they were in the student union room, Fangzheng also noticed that Mayumi Shichinusa would occasionally sneak a peek at him, then sigh, then look at him again, then sigh again …
Fangzheng's explanation was that Mayumi Shichinusa and Sibo Shenxue's menstruation came at the same time.
If Mayumi Shichinusa knew what Fangzheng was thinking, she would probably pounce on him and scratch his face.
"By the way, the speech is about to start. Why do I feel that you don't seem very nervous, Mr. Haruhino?"
Suika looked at Fangzheng in confusion.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten the date."
"How could I forget? But what's there to be nervous about? Everyone else has abstained. Anyone who votes for me can become the student union president. There's no competition at all. It's a one-sided result. What's there to be nervous about?"
As Fangzheng spoke, he yawned. Hearing his grumbling, the others also smiled bitterly. They had been with Fangzheng in the club for a semester, so they naturally had a good understanding of Fangzheng's character.
"What are you going to say?"
Erika Chiba, who wanted to watch the show, immediately came over.
"I've heard the student union president's speech, but if it's you, Haruhino, I'm sure you'll say something interesting."
"Who knows? Maybe I'll find a script on the internet and read it, like 'Praise of Spring' or 'Waiting' or something …"
"You'll say something like that? I can't imagine …. "
While they were talking, the group arrived at the auditorium. Fangzheng greeted the others and went backstage. The auditorium was naturally full of people. Although everyone had more or less guessed the result, they still wanted to hear what Fangzheng was going to say.
Soon, the student union began. First, it was Mayumi Shichinusa's speech as the current president, followed by Fangzheng's speech.
"I don't feel well."
Seeing Fangzheng walk up to the podium, Mayumi Shichinusa said to her friend Watanabe Mori with a pale face.
"What's wrong? Mayumi? "
"No, when I think about how Haruhino-kun is going to give a speech on the podium, my stomach hurts …."
As she said that, Mayumi Shichinusa put her hand on her stomach, as if she was really in pain.
"Who knows what he'll say …."
"What's done can't be undone. Just wait and see …."
Seeing her friend's depressed expression, Watanabe Mori smiled bitterly and patted her on the shoulder.
At the same time, Fangzheng had also arrived at the podium.
He held the podium with both hands, glanced around, and coughed.
"Okay, I'll start my speech …. But to be honest, I'm not interested in talking about those boring things. I'm guessing you're all tired of it."
"Ugh …."
Just hearing Fangzheng's opening speech was enough to make Mayumi Shichinusa want to take some stomach medicine. The students were also in an uproar. Although they more or less knew Fangzheng, this was his first time giving a formal speech at the student union after all. They did not expect him to be so unruly ….
"So, let's talk about something else today."
Fangzheng waved his hand, then stood up and looked at the crowd.
"You should have seen the recent news and news on the Internet, right?
When they heard this, almost all the students immediately focused their attention and stared at Fangzheng. Indeed, just as Fangzheng said, they had also seen the recent news on the Internet. The nonsense of those human supremacists, as well as the slander and disgust of ordinary people towards mages, had made them quite angry. Now that Fangzheng had mentioned this in a speech at the student union, he must have something else to do.
As for Mayumi Shichinusa …. She really wanted to take some stomach medicine now.
"I can tell you that the current situation is not good. I'll be frank with you. Those guys will probably become more and more arrogant from now on. As a high school specializing in magic, our No.1 High School is likely to become a thorn in their side …. In fact, I heard from the Discipline Committee that some students are indeed being harassed by those idiots."
While speaking, Fangzheng turned on his computer terminal.
"Listen to what they're saying. Mages don't belong to humans. They're a different species from humans. They don't have moral concepts of right and wrong, they're just weapons for fighting. They don't deserve special treatment, and they're asking the government to strictly control mages …. Hahaha. "
Speaking until here, Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the students below. Many of the students were already gritting their teeth and clenching their fists. These were the words they often saw on the Internet, and it was also one of the reasons why these students were so angry.
"Speaking of which, when I was on vacation, I went to the nearby art exhibition."
But at that moment, Fangzheng suddenly changed the topic, causing the originally angry students to be stunned. They didn't understand why he changed the topic so suddenly. But Fangzheng didn't care about the puzzled looks of the students below and continued.
"At that time, I remember seeing a painting in the exhibition hall. Well, I have to admit, in my opinion, that painting looked like something that a drunk person casually dipped a brush in paint and drew a few strokes on it. But that thing was actually worth as much as five million yen! "
"Hiss …."
Upon hearing this, the students drew a gasp in astonishment. As for Fangzheng, he chuckled.
"At that time, I was thinking that it's a good thing I'm not an art major. Otherwise, if I studied drawing for three years and then studied watercolor for three years, the thing I draw wouldn't even be as valuable as the painting that this person casually drew after drinking. I might as well jump off a building!"
At this point, Fangzheng suddenly slammed the table.
"Mages don't deserve preferential treatment? Bullsh * t! Why shouldn't mages receive preferential treatment? We're not those ignorant and incompetent artists who make money by drawing random paintings when they're drunk! Besides, are mages the only ones who receive preferential treatment in society? Idols, singers, scholars, which one of them doesn't receive preferential treatment? Especially those celebrities, who even have police cars open the way when they go out, and countless fans scream and shout beside them. Even us mages don't receive such treatment! "
Hearing this, the students below also burst into laughter. The tense atmosphere just now also dissipated.
"I'm saying all this here to tell you not to belittle yourselves. Those who belittle mages are just incompetent trash. There are geniuses in every industry. Some people just sing well, some just have a broken voice. Why don't they attack those who are naturally good at singing and dancing, and those who are naturally smart and talented? Instead, they attack mages? Because we're different from ordinary humans? Wrong! It's because we're not as stupid as them! That's why they attack us! "
At this point, Fangzheng slammed the table again and stared at the students below.
"I know that many of you must be quite angry at the idiotic comments on the Internet, and even wonder if you should not have become a mage. I can't tell you whether it's possible or not, because this is your own choice. You chose to become a magician, so you have to walk this path, and this path is not an easy one. You know better than anyone how difficult this path is. If you are willing to walk it, then continue walking it. If you're not willing, then you can also leave here and mingle with those incompetent people. "
Fangzheng paused and then looked at the back row.
"The second-year students at the back, don't be too proud. You think that you're very different from the first-year students, but what's the point? Do you think those idiots out there care about the difference between first-year and second-year students? They'll only see that you're wearing the same uniform and attending the same magic school, so they'll also speak ill of you. When that time comes, what will you do? You'll have to go and explain to them one by one that we're different from the first-year students, that we're just weeds? Hmm? Will you say that to them? "
"…"
Hearing this, the second-year students at the back also restrained their expressions and looked solemn. Just as Fangzheng said, this was not just a problem for the first-year students.
"So you have to know that this is not a problem for the first-year students, but a problem for all the students in the magic school. If you plan to continue to study here, then you'll have to face the slander, hatred, and abuse from these incompetent people."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, at this moment, all the students at the back stared at him.
"This is what I want to say. As the student president, I won't make any special promises to you. I can only tell you that during my time as the student president, this school will be your fortress, your base, and your backing. If those blind idiots dare to come here and find trouble with you, then I'll let them understand why mages are not to be trifled with! "
Saying this, Fangzheng raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
And the students below were silent for a moment, then surging cheers rushed up.
And Shichiusa Mayumi …
"M-Mori, I'm sorry, can you find me some stomach medicine?"
She was about to faint.
