Fang Zheng didn't know what happened to Shiba Miyuki and Nanakusa Mayumi. To him, exterminating the Yotsuba clan was just a matter of convenience, in order to increase the "difficulty of clearing the level" for the protagonist Shiba Tatsuya. If Shiba Tatsuya couldn't even get himself up, then it was a foregone conclusion that the world would abandon him.
So Fang Zheng didn't worry about this at all, but started preparing for the election of student union president.
But to be honest, there is nothing to prepare for.
In fact, after the student union announced that Fang Zheng was going to run for the next student union president, even other people who were interested in running for the position immediately gave up. This was certainly not because Fang Zheng was so popular. Unlike Nanakusa Mayumi who took a people-friendly approach and Nakajo Azusa who was loved like a small animal, Fang Zheng was not loved by people. To be honest, he was more feared.
And strictly speaking, Fang Zheng was not very popular among males in No. 1 High School - of course, female students were quite fond of Fang Zheng, after all, he was handsome and talented. But for males, Fang Zheng was obviously not an easy target to be accepted, not to mention that Japanese society advocated following the crowd without pursuing self-esteem, and Fang Zheng basically had the word "maverick" written on his face. It was simply impossible to say that male students would respect him, and they were more likely to hate or fear him.
In fact, the reason why the others gave up the election was simple. They had no confidence that they could suppress Fang Zheng. Even if they became the student union president, whether they expelled Fang Zheng from the student union or ignored him, it was not a worrying thing. Just imagining what he had done in the school this semester, those candidates decided to give up.
They asked themselves if they didn't have the ability of Nanakusa Mayumi. Instead of taking stomach medicine all day after taking office, they might as well let the culprit take the position of president and do things himself...
So this student union president election is just a formality. As long as Fang Zheng goes on stage and gives a speech, everything will basically be fine.
But just because Fang Zheng doesn't care doesn't mean others don't care.
"What happened between you and Shiba-san?"
After school, Kitayama Shizuku found Fang Zheng and this was the first thing she said.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Fang Zheng was confused and didn't understand what she was talking about. Mitsui Honoka next to him also spoke hurriedly.
"During class today, Shiba-san kept glaring at you. Did you two have a fight?"
"No, God knows what's wrong with her. Maybe she was fascinated by me because I'm handsome."
Fang Zheng spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. To be honest, he really didn't pay much attention to this. After all, with Fang Zheng's looks, he would be the center of attention wherever he went. If he were to investigate each of them, he would have a nervous breakdown.
"I don't think so. She looks like she wants to eat you alive..."
"That's probably because my period came and I'm in a bad mood."
Fang Zheng's attitude towards Shiba Miyuki is actually quite average. Although she is very beautiful, she is not one in a million in Fang Zheng's opinion. For some reason, Shiba Miyuki has many hidden admirers in school, but for Fang Zheng, he thinks Kitayama Shizuku, Mitsui Honoka and Shibata Mitsuki are not much worse than Shiba Miyuki.
Besides that, the biggest reason was that Fang Zheng always felt that there was something wrong with Shiba Miyuki's beauty.
How should I put it...it's like a man-made natural object.
It’s not like Fang Zheng hasn’t seen beautiful androids before, such as Little Angel, Altina, and Yui, but these girls themselves were not deliberately made to be so beautiful. Although their appearances were also beautiful, it was mainly due to their inner temperament and charm.
But Shiba Miyuki was different. She gave Fang Zheng the feeling of a sculptor determined to carve out "the most beautiful stone statue in the world"... This feeling, whether it was her appearance or her inner self, could be said to be manufactured.
As we all know, if an idea is pushed to the extreme, it will always offend people. Especially for something like "beauty" that cannot be quantified and is highly subjective, so in Fang Zheng's opinion, Shiba Miyuki is basically the same as an artificial diamond, which is indeed eye-catching at first glance, but lacks the natural beauty of jade.
This is another reason why Founder is not particularly active in poaching Tatsuya Shiba.
If he were to say it, Fang Zheng even felt that Shiba Miyuki 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 girls, it is meaningless to compare who is prettier after their looks reach between 80 and 100 points. What remains is to win by their inner qualities, temperament and personality.
Of course, the preferences of men themselves are also the key point. For lolita control, women over the age of fourteen are considered aunts, so even if Shiba Miyuki is very beautiful, they will still look down on her.
Those who like abundant fruits obviously don't care about Shiba Miyuki's not-so-obvious curves.
By the way, Mitsui Honoka and Kitayama Shizuku didn't know that when they were in the student council room, Fang Zheng also noticed that Nanakusa Mayumi would occasionally secretly look at him, then sigh, then look at him again, then sigh again...
Fang Zheng's explanation for this was that it was probably that Mayumi Nanakusa and Miyuki Shiba had their periods at the same time.
If Nanakusa Mayumi knew what Fang Zheng was thinking, she would probably rush over and scratch his face until it bled.
"By the way, you're about to give a speech, but I don't think you're very nervous, Kasugano-san."
Honoka Mitsui looked at Fang Zheng in confusion.
"You haven't forgotten the date, have you?"
"How could I forget? But why should I be nervous? Everyone else abstained from voting, so if just one person voted for me, I could become the student council president. There's no confrontation at all, and it's a one-sided result. Why should I be nervous?"
Fang Zheng yawned as he spoke, and hearing his complaints, the others smiled bitterly - they had been with Fang Zheng in the club for a semester, so they naturally understood his personality.
"So what are you going to say?"
Chiba Erica, who wanted to watch the fun and was not afraid of trouble, came over immediately.
"I've listened to the student council president's speech, but if it's you, Kasugano, you'll definitely have something interesting to say."
"Who knows, maybe I'll search for a script on the Internet and read it, like something like Praise of Spring, Waiting for You or Something..."
"You would say that? I can't imagine..."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the auditorium. Fang Zheng said hello to the others and then went to the backstage of the auditorium. The auditorium was naturally full of people at this time. Obviously, although everyone had almost guessed the result, they still wanted to hear what Fang Zheng was going to say.
Soon, the student council meeting began, starting with a speech by Nanakusa Mayumi as the current president, followed by Fang Zheng's election speech.
"I don't feel well."
Watching Fang Zheng walk up to the podium, Nanakusa Mayumi said to her good friend Watanabe Mari with a pale face.
"What's wrong? Mayumi?"
"No, I feel sick to my stomach when I think about Kasugano-kun going up to the podium to give a speech..."
As she spoke, Nanakusa Mayumi reached out and covered her stomach, looking like she was in real pain.
"Who knows what he will say..."
"It's a done deal, just wait and see..."
Seeing her friend's depressed expression, Watanabe Mari smiled bitterly and patted her shoulder.
At the same time, Fang Zheng also came to the podium.
He pressed his hands on the podium, glanced around, and then coughed.
"Okay, then I'll start my speech... But to be honest, I'm not interested in talking about those boring things. I guess you're all tired of listening to them."
“Woo…”
Just hearing Fang Zheng's opening remarks, Nanakusa Mayumi wanted to take stomach medicine. The students below were also in an uproar. Although they knew Fang Zheng to some extent, it was his first time to give a formal speech at the student union. They didn't expect him to be so stubborn...
"So let's talk about something else today."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, then stood up and looked at everyone.
"I think you have all read the news and information online recently."
Hearing this, almost all the students immediately focused their attention and stared at Fang Zheng. Indeed, as Fang Zheng said, they also saw the recent news on the Internet. The outrageous remarks of those human supremacists and the slander and disgust of ordinary people towards magicians made them quite annoyed. And now Fang Zheng actually mentioned this in his speech at the Student Union. He must not have been idle.
And Nanakusa Mayumi...she really wants to take stomach medicine now.
"I can tell you that the current situation is not good. I'm not afraid to say it directly. Those guys will probably become more and more rampant. As a magic school, our First High School is likely to become a thorn in their eyes... In fact, I have also heard from the Disciplinary Committee that some students are indeed being harassed by those idiots."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng opened the computer terminal.
"Listen to what nonsense they are saying. Magicians are not human. They are a different species from humans. They have no moral concepts of right and wrong. They are just weapons used for fighting. They don't deserve special treatment. They demand that the government strictly control magicians... hehe."
Having said this, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the students below. Many of the students below were already gritting their teeth and clenching their fists. These remarks were what they often saw on the Internet, and it was one of the reasons why these students were quite angry.
"By the way, I went to see an art exhibition nearby during my previous vacation."
However, at this moment, Fang Zheng changed the topic, which stunned the angry students. They didn't understand why he changed the topic so much. However, Fang Zheng didn't care about the confused looks of the students and continued talking.
"I remember seeing a painting in the exhibition hall. Well, I admit, it looked like something a drunk person had painted with a brush. And it turned out to be worth 5 million yen!"
"hiss……"
Hearing this, the students below gasped in surprise, while Fang Zheng chuckled.
"At the time, I was thinking, luckily I didn't study fine arts, otherwise I would have studied sketching for three years, and watercolor for another three years, and the things I drew would not be worth as much as this guy's random drawings after drinking. I might as well jump off the building!"
Having said this, Fang Zheng suddenly slammed the table.
"Magicians shouldn't be treated preferentially? Bullshit! Why shouldn't magicians be treated preferentially? We are not those crappy artists who have no knowledge and only make money by painting when drunk! Besides, are magicians the only ones who are treated preferentially in society? Idols, singers, scholars, who aren't treated preferentially? Especially those stars, when they travel, there are police cars leading the way, and there are countless fans beside them, screaming and shouting. We magicians don't even have this kind of treatment!"
Upon hearing this, the students below burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere just now dissipated.
"I'm saying this here to tell you not to underestimate yourself. Those who belittle magicians are nothing but incompetent trash. There are geniuses in every industry. Some people just sing well, while others just have hoarse voices. Why don't they attack those who are born to be good at singing and dancing, and are born smart and talented? Why do they attack magicians instead? Because we are different from ordinary humans? Wrong! It's because we are not as stupid as them! That's why they attack us!"
Having said this, Fang Zheng slapped the table again and stared at the students below.
"I know that many of you must be very angry about the comments of those idiots on the Internet, and even doubt whether you should become a magician. I can't tell you whether it is possible or not, because this is your own choice. If you choose to become a magician, you must embark on this path, and this road is not a smooth road. You know better than anyone how difficult this road is. If you are willing to walk, then continue to walk. If you don't want to, then you can also leave here and hang out with those incompetent people."
Fang Zheng paused for a moment, then looked towards the back row.
"Don't be complacent, students from the second division at the back. You think you are very different from students from the first division, but what's the point? Do you think those idiots outside will care about the difference between students from the first division and students from the second division? They will only see that you are wearing the same uniform and attending the same magic school, so they will also speak ill of you. What will you do then? Are you going to explain to them one by one that we are different from students from the first division, that we are just weeds? Hmm? Will you tell them that?"
“…”
Hearing this, the Class 2 students behind him restrained their expressions and looked serious. Just as Fang Zheng said, this was not just a problem for the Class 1 students.
"So you have to know that this is not a problem for students in one department, but a problem for all students in the magic high school. If you plan to continue studying here, you will have to face the slander, hatred and abuse from these incompetent people."
After hearing what Fang Zheng said, all the students stared at him.
"This is what I want to say. As the student council president, I will not make any special promises to you. I can only tell you that during my tenure as student council president, this school will be your fortress, your base, and your backing. If those blind idiots dare to come here and cause trouble for you, I will make them understand why magicians are not to be trifled with!"
Having said that, Fang Zheng raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
The students below were silent for a moment, and then burst into thunderous cheers.
And Nanakusa Mayumi...
"Excuse me, Molly, can you find me some stomach medicine?"
She was almost dizzy.
