Mahyeon High School.

One of the major academies with autonomy in Academy City.

Compared to other academies, Asung High School and the jurisdictional district, or school district, are the closest to each other with the highest ratio.

Because of this, there were often disputes over the disposition of offenders who crossed the two school districts.

From then on, the conflict deepened and the two schools often glared at each other and snarled at each other.

Therefore, he was famous for having the worst relationship with Ah Seong-go.

Since I became the leader, I have never had a fight with Mahyeon High School.

Of course, I was prepared for something that might happen in the future.

I didn’t know it would be today.

‘I hope the exchange meeting ends safely… .’

Although I am not a religious person, I came to pray to God in the morning.

I hoped that whether it was God, Buddha, or the Golden Sheep, they would hear my prayer.

A total of two leadership exchange meetings were scheduled to be held this year.

At Aseong High School in the first semester, and at Mahyeon High School in the second semester.

So this time, we held an exchange meeting at Asung High School.

Our Asung High School welcomed Mahyeon High School students dressed in light brown school uniforms.

“We sincerely welcome you to Mahyeon High School.”

“Thank you for welcoming us, Asung High School.”

Student council presidents from both schools took the lead and greeted each other warmly.

‘Is that person the student council president?’

The female student smiling brightly like a flower in full bloom was the student council president of Mahyeon High School.

Around her smile, a flower field like something out of a romantic comic seemed to be spreading out.

As a result, the atmosphere of the leadership team behind her seemed to contrast dramatically.

It’s gloomy.

The same was true for our leadership team.

This was because they were on guard against each other.

The leaders also greeted each other.

“Welcome, Director of Mahyeon High School. Former leader Ahn Woo-jin, this is Deputy Director Oh Baek-seo.”

“Haha. Nice to meet you, Manager Woojin Ahn. Former manager Lee Je-ho, this friend is deputy manager Shin Ga-yeon.”

We shook hands out of courtesy.

“Haha.”

“Heh heh.”

Oh my, your hands are strong.

Let’s not fight here… .

This glasses-wearing male student team leader, Lee Je-ho.

He was showing his caution towards me very openly.

I immediately recognized it as a tiger cub with hidden claws.

It’s ready to scratch my face at any time.

Then I have no choice but to show caution.

“Oh my, it’s nice to see each other smiling. thank god… .”

“I’m glad that our relationship is already showing signs of getting better.”

The student council presidents of Mahyeon High School and Aseong High School were looking at us and talking nonsense.

I’m already feeling distraught.

I think I’ll see this guy twice.

“Let’s all go! Because we prepared a lot of delicious food!”

Ha Yesong smiled brightly and guided the students of Mahyeon High School.

I was glad that Yeson was bright.

We went to the banquet hall and enjoyed food and drinks prepared in a buffet style. It was an event prepared with the support of the student council.

The not-so-good atmosphere was neutralized thanks to the exciting music that filled the banquet hall.

The student council presidents decided to eat in a separate space along with key student council personnel.

Meanwhile, I had to eat with Deputy Director Oh Baek-seo and Maheon High School’s Seondo Director and Vice President. I couldn’t help it. This was because the picture would look strange if we weren’t together.

While the dishes were being moved around in an awkward atmosphere, Maheon High School leader Lee Je-ho raised his glass and opened his mouth.

“I don’t like it.”

Jeho speaks in a muttering tone.

His eyes were focused on the banner on the stage.

The banner had ‘Aseong High School & Mahyeon High School Exchange Meeting’ written in large letters.

“Aseong High School is in front of Mahyeon High School. This is not it.”

Jeho clicked his tongue.

‘You’re saying that with your mouth?’

It’s so embarrassing.

“This is Aseong High School. Let’s put Maheon High School in front of you at your next exchange meeting.”

“I see you heard me. I still think so.”

Perhaps it could be said that it was thanks to Jeho’s gruff muttering, but after a few tens of minutes, the silence was broken and we were able to talk to each other.

I was grateful for that.

“Now that I think about it, I hear news from Manager Woojin Ahn quite often.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. From the first day of activity, he solved the Anomia train kidnapping case single-handedly, or recently held a sparring match that overwhelmed the Shindorim Sword Master… . You have already left behind several notable achievements. Will you become a very famous person soon?”

“It just so happened that it happened like that. Sparring with Shinsou was definitely difficult.”

Jeho lifted his glasses once.

“Still, I’m glad. Director Ahn Woo-jin has not troubled me with jurisdictional issues ‘yet’. It looks like you have some insight.”

“… … .”

Is this a subtle suppression of momentum?

It was extremely uncomfortable.

“Manager Lee Je-ho.”

“Yes.”

“We have no intention of causing conflict with the leaders of Maheon High School.”

“It’s the same for us. But please know one thing. We have no intention of forming a friendly relationship with Asung High School.”

This guy, isn’t that too honest… ?

Shin Ga-yeon, the vice leader of Mahyeon High School’s leading department, also shook her head upon hearing the director’s remarks a little while ago and then gently poked him on the thigh. As expected, he looked troubled.

However, Jeho showed a resolute attitude as he wiped his slightly seasoned mouth with a tissue.

“I only attended the exchange meeting following the instructions of the student council president. I hope you don’t misunderstand anything.”

this this… .

“… Manager Lee Je-ho.”

I thought about continuing to be polite to the vice-president of Mahyeon High School who was paying attention to me, but I couldn’t do it.

This guy with glasses was trying to cross the line, but if he stayed still, his reputation as a leader would be lost.

I said, leaning back against the back of the chair.

“Why don’t you just say nothing? You seem uncomfortable using polite language.”

“Is that okay?”

“Do that. Aren’t we the same age anyway?”

“I am one year older than you, little brother.”

As I spoke as if I had been waiting, the discomfort subsided.

The atmosphere got worse, and the prayers I offered in the morning became meaningless.

This would be better.

“Manager, I’m in pain… .”

Ga-yeon urged her manager in a low voice.

“Still surprised.”

But Jeho did not stop.

He said, crossing his arms.

“Why did the Aseong High School leader appoint a fourth-tier person as the head of Oh Baek-seo? . Tsk.”

Jeho clicked his tongue.

‘Is this a provocation?’

Whether he thought so or not, Jeho understood that the proposition was against me.

In other words, it was clear that he was provoking me in hopes of making me angry.

It was obvious that if I showed my anger here, the situation would get serious. Yes. Cheekily, the title was meant to test me.

So it was time to change the topic.

“Don’t talk about useless things… .”

“Want to talk about it one more time?”

“… … ?”

When I was trying to avoid provocation and change the topic of conversation, I heard a sharp voice from next to me.

Kind, but cold tone.

Those were the words spoken by Baek Seo, sitting next to me.

The white paper was only smiling at the corners of its mouth, but its eyes were glaring fiercely at the leader of Mahyeon High School.

Jeho and Vice Manager Ga-yeon showed a look of surprise on their faces.

In particular, Jeho seemed to have no idea that Oh Baek-seo, not me, would be angry.

“Woojin became the manager because he deserved it.”

While we were silent, Baekseo spoke in a friendly but clear voice.

“We also wonder why we have to become friends with kids who don’t know how to tell people apart?”

White Paper grinned.

Although I used the kindest expression possible, it was clear that Baek Seo was angry.

“… Right. I apologize for my rudeness earlier.”

Jeho closes his eyes and lifts his glasses.

It was clearly revealed that his intention was to provoke me, the manager. He wanted a war of nerves between managers.

If he had been dissatisfied with the entire leadership team at Aseong High School, he would have expressed his anger when Baek Seo said such harsh words.

“Tsk.”

I clicked my tongue lightly and took advantage of the atmosphere created by the white paper.

“Recreation will start soon.”

He said while looking towards the stage.

“We have prepared something full of ‘competitive elements’ to strengthen our ‘friendship’, so please enjoy it to your heart’s content.”

The ‘friendliness’ and ‘competitive elements’ were deliberately emphasized.

Recreation.

It is merely a complementary event to bring a little joy to awkward group activities.

Since Aseong High School and Mahyeon High School do not have a good relationship, it could be said that it was very tactless to organize a recreation in a place like this.

but.

‘Recreation’ is just a name, and what if it is actually a ‘competition to see who is superior’?

The meaning is completely reversed.

“Great. I prepared a lot. Enjoy it gratefully, Ahseonggo.”

Jeho grins.

Fortunately, he immediately understood what I meant.

In fact, I knew Jeho would show an aggressive attitude from the beginning.

While preparing for the exchange meeting, I had collected information about Lee Je-ho, the current leader of Mahyeon High School.

Lee Je-ho showed a tendency to be superior to the leaders of Aseong High School.

As the saying goes, “There is no future for a people who forget history,” it seemed like they thought that the way for Mahyeon High School would be to gain an upper hand over Asung High School, which had caused frequent fights.

I respected that meaning.

It is a decision to gain the upper hand in the logic of power for the benefit of one’s school.

So, we prepared a ‘confrontation’ called recreation.

Since I respect your wishes, the intention is to determine which leading group is superior.

‘This is a serious matter for the honor of our leadership team, including my dignity as the leader.’

What good would it do to be nice to those who trample on you and try to stand on top of you?

Will I be treated as nothing more than a faggot?

So, I had to win this match.

If I do that, not only will my dignity as the leader of the leading department rise, but I will also be able to trample on those Maheon High School bastards.

After a while, the lights went out in the banquet hall and only the stage was illuminated.

The sound of music flowing in the banquet hall quieted down, and soon a leading member of Asung High School took the microphone and took the stage.

“We sincerely welcome everyone to today’s leadership exchange meeting!”

The leadership’s attention was all focused on that.

A large camera looked at the stage.

The camera video was being broadcast to the banquet hall where other leading members were present.

Naturally, not all members of the leadership team were gathered in this banquet hall. If that happens, the banquet hall will be full.

So, after dividing the number of people, we had the other people enjoy the exchange party at a different banquet hall.

“For a happy day like today, Asung High School prepared a recreation activity.”

The host even introduced the recreation and prizes and received formal cheers from the two leaders.

* * *

“Wow… . You are also prepared for recreation! Good… . Will this lead to a better relationship between Mahyeon High School and Aseong High School?”

“Of course it will happen. Just look at how the leading managers are laughing and chatting with each other like that. It looks like they are on good terms. Maybe they have already become close friends… .”

“Oh my. That’s a happy thing! My younger brother is a really nice kid and only makes friends with nice kids? If you like Jeho, it means he’s really nice… ! Looks good… .”

The student council president of Mahyeon High School chatted happily with the student council president of Aseong High School while observing the atmosphere of the banquet hall outside the window.

Her eyes were shining brightly.

‘People are more pure than they look.’

The student council president of Aseong High School thought while drinking a drink.

At first, he was wary of Maheon High School’s proposal for an exchange meeting. In the end, the reason I accepted the offer was simply because I thought about performance.

So, I thought it would be enough to just have a reasonable assortment.

However, after meeting the student council president of Mahyeon High School several times, I realized that her intentions were pure and I put those difficult thoughts aside.

‘If possible, just become friends.’

If the two leaders became closer, there would be fewer headaches during the student council president’s term.

In the first place, it’s good if people hold hands and become friends, right?

The student council president of Aseong High School had such thoughts.

When I was so careless.

As the recreation reached its final stage, something I had been worried about happened.
