The appearance of Kohinata Motoyo brought an unexpected twist to the situation. Enjoy new stories from empire
The opponents in the election seemed to have changed overnight.
Facing the addition of Kohinata Motoyo to the rival camp, Kiryu Hina, who had initially held an advantage in the election, was completely overwhelmed.
Perhaps this was what they called "like repels like." The two of them were too similar, causing their fan bases to overlap and inevitably leading some fans to defect to Kohinata Motoyo's side.
Compared to Kiryu Hina, who maintained a perfect facade, Kohinata Motoyo, the "real deal," seemed a bit more human. She could act coquettish, complain, and joke around, showing more emotion and consequently gaining more affection.
If one were to say Kiryu Hina possessed a divine radiance, then Kohinata Motoyo possessed an impeccable humanity.
It was like the difference between the sun and lake water.
However, if one were to point out the biggest difference between her and Kiryu Hina, it would probably be the fact that she had a boyfriend.
Wherever Kohinata Motoyo's name went, Kagura Hikaru's name followed.
It was mainly because Kohinata Motoyo mentioned him so often, flaunting like a foolish girlfriend everywhere, making it impossible for others not to notice.
Such unrestrained behavior, of course, led to no good end, eventually attracting the attention of the head instructor, who personally called the pair of puppy-love students, Kohinata Motoyo and Kagura Hikaru, for a talk.
The head instructor at Yuqiu, also called "Coach," held the same responsibilities as the Disciplinary Committee. Nonetheless, he did not concern himself with the finer details of student interactions but was in charge of investigating students and teachers who violated school rules.
For example, students who broke the law, students involved in premarital romance, students who assaulted teachers, or teachers who assaulted students, among others.
The previous blackmail incident involving Ruzaki Mami, by rights, also fell under the head instructor's jurisdiction.
However, the Disciplinary Committee handled it privately, and by the time the school authorities became aware, the case had nearly concluded.
Everyone feared the fierce and formidable Coach, including the teachers, because once he spotted a mistake, he would loudly scold without sparing any feelings. Since his appointment, the number of girls he had reduced to tears could encircle Ugao High three times.
When Kohinata Motoyo and others were summoned, those around them were very worried.
It was not until shortly thereafter, when they saw the head instructor and the principal accompany her back to the classroom with respectful smiles, that their worries were alleviated.
Head Instructor: "Ms. Kohinata, I am truly sorry for this misunderstanding."
Principal: "I will give this fellow a good scolding later. Please don't take it to heart, Ms. Kohinata. Say hello to your father for me later."
Kohinata Motoyo smiled and nodded in response, "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused, apologies from my side too."
"No, no, no, no."
"Not at all, not at all."
The Coach and the principal waved their hands repeatedly, overwhelmed by surprise.
"I'll explain things to my father as well. If there's any disrespect in the future, please be tolerant." She bowed slightly, her manners impeccable.
Kohinata Motoyo treated them like a princess would treat her subjects, gracefully seeing off the principal and the head instructor under the stunned gaze of her classmates.
It was only then that everyone realized Kohinata Motoyo truly came from a very affluent background.
Although her demeanor was fine, and the classmates had somewhat guessed it, they had not expected it to be true.
After transferring schools, she immediately developed a romantic relationship with Kagura Hikaru. They went to and from school together every day by train, avoiding the need for a private car, which led many classmates to be unaware of her family background; she never mentioned it herself.
To think, even the usually stern principal and head instructor had turned sycophantic.
Could it be that she was of royal descent? Nobility? A tycoon's daughter?
Amidst a flurry of speculation, Kohinata Motoyo merely smiled and stated that her family was in the musical instrument business, offering no further explanation.
The incident where she boldly confronted and successfully repelled the head teacher only added a mysterious aura to her already flawless impression.
She increasingly resembled a character from a manga or anime, noble by birth yet willingly attending a commoner's school for the sake of the male protagonist.
Rumors about her multiplied, and her popularity soared exponentially.
Kiryu Hina's campaign momentum was quickly overshadowed by her.
As a transfer student starting from scratch in terms of social connections, she became an influential figure among the sophomores in just three days, showcasing the incredibility of Kohinata Motoyo.
She was now the emerging neutral party within Yuqiu High School, surpassing even the efficiency of large clubs' leaders in garnering votes.
Fortunately for Kagura Hikaru and the others, the person Kohinata Motoyo supported was Ayakoji Chiyoko.
However, her support was not due to her confidence in Ayakoji Chiyoko as a person, but for her policy, namely the abolition of Uka's school-wide ban on romance.
In this respect, Kohinata Motoyo's interests aligned.
She was willing to engage in efforts to win people's hearts just for this cause.
Moreover, she made no attempt to hide this fact.
When asked about it, Kohinata Motoyo did not hesitate to respond, "I want to be able to be with my boyfriend openly at school."
Her straightforwardness sometimes took people by surprise.
From this alone, she seemed quite romantic, and indeed she was.
The boys she liked were indeed fortunate, for they must have saved the world in their past lives to be loved so dearly by Kohinata Motoyo.
This is what the girls would say.
And the boys, rare in agreement, had only one reaction towards Kagura Hikaru: jealousy.
In just a few days since her transfer, Kohinata Motoyo had become the dream goddess of many, and the man who was lucky enough to be favored by her naturally received no warm reception.
Of course, they could never imagine the feelings of Kagura Hikaru himself, surrounded by envious and jealous stares.
Being liked by someone was indeed lucky and something to be happy about.
Especially when that person was Kohinata Motoyo.
However, her passion was so intense that it scorched those around her, including Kagura Hikaru.
If Kohinata Motoyo were a flame, then Kagura Hikaru was the tree onto which she clung, ceaselessly burning and corroding him.
Half-past four in the afternoon.
Today, Kagura Hikaru was rare in being able to leave the school alone.
Kohinata Motoyo had taken the afternoon off and hadn't come to class because an important relative of hers was hospitalized, and she needed to return to the Capital City to visit him, bidding farewell during the lunch break.
Consequently, Kagura Hikaru found some free time and was caught by Ayakoji Chiyoko, taken to the Disciplinary Committee, where he spent an entire noon and an extra hour after school finishing up all the backlog tasks before finally being released.
Seizing the chance to relax, Kagura Hikaru pondered for a moment and decided to check out a live house performance.
However, this time it was not to perform but merely to watch.
