The meeting place of Tebiri Royal Academy is in the spacious gymnasium.

If we follow the usual practice, the scale of the exchange study between the two schools should be much larger than this time, and usually most students will participate. But this time, Tebiri Wangli Academy only sent five student council members composed of second- and third-year students, and two first-year students. It is the winter vacation, so the total number of students in Tebiri Wangli Academy does not exceed twenty.

In comparison, the number of adults gathered here seems to be too many, and there are even reporters outside.

"I said, are we so noteworthy?"

Aika's eyes would glance in other directions from time to time, searching the crowd with his peripheral vision.

"Of course this is a major event in the country. Many people are watching this. Let's wait until it's over."

Tiluya, who was standing on Aika's left side, reminded him in a low voice, while Wei Xi, who was on his right side, seemed a little confused.

A large part of the eyes looking here fell on her, and her conspicuous appearance was naturally one of the reasons. No one in this country should know or care about her former identity.

The speeches of both principals were extremely brief, so they probably had a good conversation. In a helpless foreign country, the students representing Shigetsuki Academy couldn't help but smile when they heard the speech style they had long known by heart.

"Next, I would like to invite the student council president of Shimozuki Academy to give a speech."

"Eh?"

Wei Xi's voice leaked out. She lived in the same room as Qiu Ke and had never heard that the student council president would go on stage to deliver a speech. Last night, Qiu Ke fell asleep on the warm bed without any preparation.

Qiu Ke walked onto the stage with brisk steps, and the ears and big tail that symbolized the identity of the orcs were not hidden. Everyone's eyes moved to her.

Standing in front of the microphone, Qiu Ke's expression showed no trace of nervousness at all. Her smile was still the same as before, with a silly cuteness.

"Hello everyone, I am Qiu Ke, a first-year student at Shuoyue Academy. I am also the student council president of Shuoyue Academy."

No one exclaimed because of her school year, everyone waited quietly for her next words.

"We are very honored to receive the invitation from Tebiri Wangli Academy to participate in this exchange and study. As two academies with different research directions, I believe that we will be able to learn from each other's strengths and gain something from each other..."

Under the public gaze, there was no trace of nervousness in Qiu Ke's tone, nor was it his usual leisurely tone. She drew the attention of everyone present to herself.

"... As individuals, we also very much hope to establish a deep connection with you. Everyone gives themselves a higher or lower position. But we are constantly exposed to new things and see new scenery, without exception. You will feel that you are lacking something. And it is under this wave of impact that we can grow..."

Qiu Ke's speech was perfect. When she said the last word, the audience burst into applause.

"This is what she meant..."

Wei Xi looked at Qiu Ke who walked off the stage with pleased eyes.

"After all, she is our student council president," Tiluya didn't know what Qiu Ke and Wei Xi said last night, but she understood what Wei Xi meant, "When it's important, she will never let everyone down. Her expectations, so everyone will trust her.”

There was emotion in Tiruya's tone that had never appeared before. Aika couldn't describe that feeling well in words. He could only feel Tiruya's passion for Qiu Ke from her eyes.

Aika turned his head, and Qiu Ke and Wei Xi, who returned to the team, looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere between the two seems to be different from before, which is probably a good start. Aika has always believed that the relationship between girls is not as straightforward as that between boys. Just being alone for a period of time may produce unexpected changes, and the relationship between the two of them may also...

Aika's attention was drawn back to the stage by the voice of Qiu Ke's speech. The student council president of Tebiri Wangli Academy, Yuan Yi, the girl who has the same identity as Qiu Ke, expressed a warm welcome to the tutors and students of Shuoyue Academy on behalf of Wangli Academy.

…………

After the welcome ceremony, the students participating in the exchange study held a meeting in the large conference room in Wangli Academy as planned. The main purpose was to let everyone get familiar with each other, that is, to introduce themselves.

Students from the two academies sat on both sides of the long conference table. There was no instructor present, and there were only a group of people of similar age around me, so there wasn't much tension.

"I think you already know me through the speech I just gave, but let me introduce myself again." The girl who just took the stage to give a speech took the lead and stood up gracefully. It is also part of the etiquette for the inviter to introduce herself first, "I Kogaki, I am temporarily serving as the student council president of Tebiri Royal Academy, and my favorite thing is dessert."

The long hair is tied into two braids, and the small glasses give people a very smart look. This was Aika's first impression of her.

"Ah! I also like desserts!"

Qiu Ke, who had been extremely serious until just now, suddenly raised his hands and stood up after listening to Yuan Yi's self-introduction, and he looked very excited.

Tiluya, who was sitting next to her, grabbed her big wagging tail. Qiu Ke's waving hands paused in the air, and then sat down silently.

"I'm sorry, our president occasionally behaves rudely like this, but he is still a good boy at heart. Please forgive me."

Tiruya apologized on behalf of her child just like Zuko's mother. Everyone at Tebiri Royal Academy showed a wry smile of bewilderment, while everyone at Shigetsutsu Academy had an expression they were accustomed to.

"Looks like we can get along just fine."

Although he was shocked by Qiu Ke's sudden move, he was worthy of being the student council president representing the entire Wangli Academy. Yuan Yi immediately adjusted his mentality and faced Qiu Ke with his hands on his knees and his head shaking in a normal manner. Ke said that with a smile.

"Ah ha ha……"

Qiu Ke, who still had tears in his eyes, could only respond feebly to Yuan Yi's advances. The interaction between the two made the air in the conference room become more relaxed. I have to admit that Qiu Ke can always play an inexplicable role in inexplicable places.

"Next is me, I'm Vice President Ross."

"I am Ariel, who is also the vice-president."

"Hey, are there two vice presidents?"

Tiruya asked.

"Ross and I have different divisions of labor. He is mainly responsible for handling some chores in the academy, while I am responsible for all the work that requires brain use."

"Ariel, can you please stop calling the important responsibility of maintaining security in the school a chore..."

Ross reluctantly protested. Judging from his attitude, this was probably not the first time such a protest had been made.

"Sorry sorry!"

Ariel apologized readily, but didn't seem to be really reflecting on it.

"Ahem..." The girl sitting next to her interrupted the cross talk between Rose and Ariel in this way, "Everyone from Frost Moon Academy, the IQ of those two people is below the average of all members of our student union, please don't We will use them as the standard to evaluate our overall situation. By the way, I am the accountant of the student union, Jialu. Please give me some advice during this time."

She bowed her head slightly in greeting before sitting down.

"I'm sorry, it's our first meeting. We may be a little nervous." The last girl who introduced herself in the student union stood up. "My name is Riley, and I am the accountant of the student union. Although I hold this position, there are still many things I can do. They are not good enough. If there is anything that makes you dissatisfied, please tell me directly and I will accept it with an open mind."

"There's something I'm concerned about!" Leilu's eyes, which seemed to be awake, showed interest. "Why is little Riley wearing the same uniform as Rose? What kind of special trial is this? ?"

After Leilu reminded them, everyone noticed that Riley, who had smooth short hair, was wearing the men's uniform of Tebiri Prince Academy.

"Eh?"

It seemed that Riley didn't understand Lelu's question, as her eyes turned into two circles.

"Haha, that's it!" Yuan Yi suddenly laughed, and she waved her hands to everyone in Shuoyue Academy, "Don't mind this, you will get used to it just by looking at it."

"But the president..."

"Riley, Qianyou and Milia are still waiting for you."

Yuanyi motioned her to sit down without letting her finish her words, and Riley had no choice but to obey the student council president's words in frustration.

The remaining two first-year girls did not move after Riley took his seat. They quietly motioned to each other with their eyes to be the first to eat the crab.

"Qianyou, Milia, there is nothing to be nervous about." Yuan Yi encouraged them from the side, "Besides, haven't you been practicing for a long time?"

Saying it in front of so many people is hardly an encouragement at all! It will only make them feel even more ashamed! The most frightening thing is that the president who said such words has no idea about it. At this moment, she probably thought that she had accomplished what she was supposed to do as a senior, and was immersed in a sense of satisfaction.

"I...I am Qianyou, first grade..."

"Milia...is also a first grader..."

Finally, the self-introductions of the two first-year students ended in an awkward atmosphere.
