It's not true that the annual festival is a carnival for students, after all, it is worth it for students to spend a lot of time each day doing what seems repetitive and tedious to prepare for the closure of classes. Except for classes, doing everything is a vacation and relaxation, not to mention that you can fish in troubled waters and do some idle work and really have nothing to do during the cultural festival.

However, this does not mean that the executive committee of the cultural festival is a very idle position - otherwise, why do the members of the student council not take the initiative to take on the functions of the executive committee, and why do the class presidents of each class have to reorganize the election of the executive committee? Although we can explain that power should not be too centralized, I prefer to explain that it is better to delegate this kind of troublesome work to other people.

As a result, a considerable number of members of the executive committee will be forced to come to power - especially those who have been abandoned by the group or who are squad leaders. Of course, the rest of the people are really ambitious.

The prestige in the class brought by the executive committee, or even the communication of the executive committee members in other classes, or the impression of appearing in front of ordinary classmates and the student council, are all good promotion capital for ambitious people. However, ambition must also be matched to match its abilities. A person who leads others, of course, does not have to be better than his subordinates, but he should have at least 80% of the abilities of his subordinates, which is the basis for ensuring that he can make decisive decisions in all complex situations, and is also the premise for his subordinates to be able to work for him convincingly.

I don't know what kind of existence the previous executive committee members of the general martial arts have been, but I guess it's just a group of ambitious but incapable guys - otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for Haruki Kitahara to control the executive committee. I'm not sure if any of the previous student council members did the idea of using the cultural festival to gain the approval of others and eventually become a bargaining chip in her own student council elections - but as a first-year student, her ambitions in this regard meant that she had to do something out of the ordinary, which was surprising.

"Na, Kazuya, what's your plan, and what should I do if I'm going to start preparing for the election of the executive chairman now?"

"Don't think about it so much for now, maybe no one will compete with you for the position of executive chairman at that time!" I shrugged, facing a somewhat excited question, "but is it really good to be highly dependent on me from the beginning? ”

"But the problem is that you are a person who has enough ability but is not willing to do too many things, if you are asked to be the chairman of the executive committee, you will definitely feel that there are too many things and too cumbersome to pick and choose, it is precisely because of this calculation that I can rely on you with confidence!"

"Occasionally, you have to try to work your own, and it's a good way to borrow, but if you keep borrowing and borrowing to the highest point, then you can't borrow. ”

"I know," Isshiki nodded, revealing a sly smile, "But, when you can borrow strength, use the process of borrowing strength to learn, improve, and progress, isn't this a good choice?"

"Hopefully, you'll remember the purpose of your borrowing by then, and then don't get dizzy when you find yourself powerless to borrow - besides, it's nice to work together. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Isshiki reached out and shook my hand solemnly.

My mind was in a trance, and it seemed like I had done it with Isshiki a long, long time ago.

But I was at that time, and I am now, and I am very different!

Dividing line-

The election of the executive chairperson in the class was a little more complicated than I thought. On the girl's side, Yicai Yu was naturally elected without any suspense. The problem is on the boys' side.

Of course, the situation was not much different from what I expected at the beginning, and everyone avoided it because of the overly tedious tasks of the executive committee. I raised my hand when everyone had given up - and then I should have taken the position without any competition.

-- This was my original plan.

But there was a slight deviation in the plan, and it seemed that the moment I raised my hand, there was a small fluctuation in the circle of boys. That's probably a circle that belongs to the Isshiki Guards. It was when the class leader was a little glad that he was about to announce, "Well, let's make Hihama the boys' executive committee!", and finally, a representative was elected.

The boy named Yamashiro was a long, long time ago, when he seemed to be trying to compete with Hayama in order to please him - of course, in the end, I found out that it was me who challenged Hayama head-on, and he quit in disgrace. Typical so-called small roles, however, small roles have to fight hard, but they will always add a lot of obstacles to those who think they will win.

Those who are sure to win will adopt a conservative approach when facing small players on the premise that they will have to deal with more difficult challenges in the future, but this fear in the face of the desperation of small players may eventually become the reason for the final defeat of those who are stronger than them.

Yamashiro stood up like this, interrupted the squad leader who was about to draw conclusions, and said, "Wait a minute, I also want to participate in the election of the executive committee." ”

I can see the complicated expression on the face of the current class president, and his heart is now probably a collapse thought, "This troublesome work is finally over, can you not add in and mix it in more?"

Yamashiro glanced at me politely and asked, "Yubihama, you don't have a problem with my competition, do you?"

"Of course not. I smiled and bowed and replied.

With your toes, you can think of the meaning of the Yamashiro group, who may not have much desire for the position of executive committee member - and even some rejection. However, when they saw me raise my hand to run, they felt a sense of crisis -- because the executive committee members of the girls were Isshiki, and the executive members of the boys were often the people with whom the Yishiki had the closest relationship. Of course, if it's a normal work exchange, that's fine, but the crux of the matter is that I'm at the same table as Isshiki, and I'm in close contact with each other. This group of people in the Isshiki Guards has always been very hostile to me, and they are probably reluctant to further impose contact with Isshiki when it is possible for me to cooperate with the Executive Committee.

But what these wretched creatures don't realize is that Ichishiki has been using her own way to make you serve her goals, and people who don't realize her way of dealing with problems can't maintain a normal and equal mode of communication with Isshiki - even if they outsmart me to become an executive member.

What's more, this position, I don't plan to give them either.

I glanced at the girl next to me. She was squinting her eyes and observing everything in the class, she should be very aware of the source of this farce, but she didn't seem to have any intention of intervening, she just watched it all with ease. Even when I looked at her, she gave me a somewhat meaningful smile, as if expecting me to solve this first difficulty.

- Oh, I guess when Isshiki smiled at me, Yamashiro-san's face turned a little paler.

"Well, since both Yuhihama and Yamashiro want to select the executive committee, why don't you tell us about your plans after you are elected to the executive committee?"

I don't think Yamashiro is a fool, he was able to be elected by the Isshiki Guards to compete with me, at least it means that in the hearts of that group, Yamashiro is the one who wins the most against me. And his performance didn't disappoint me too much.

"The cultural festival of Zongwu High School has always been an activity that students participate in. When I was in junior high school, I was just an ordinary member of the cultural festival, and I remember that my class was controversial about the type of program used for the cultural festival, so we were not able to really enjoy the cultural festival. Since then, I have been thinking that if I am elected to the executive committee, I will do my best to prevent this tragedy from happening, and I believe that the most important thing in the cultural festival is to increase the participation of students in the cultural festival. In the selection of the content of the festival and the specific preparation process, I hope to fully absorb the opinions of my classmates, rather than my own arbitrariness, after all, although I am an executive committee member, but I am more of an ordinary student who serves everyone's ideas. Although it may be the first time for me to organize such an event, I believe that with everyone's efforts, our annual Class F Cultural Festival will be a successful cultural festival!"

Yamashiro smiled, clenched his fists slightly, and said to the other classmates with some encouragement. Subsequently, there were some sparse applause from the audience.

To be fair, it was not too bad, at least not too bad at the level of a high school student, and it was like an inaugural speech, with references to "collective," "everyone," and "effort" — and I said, it was not a bad inaugural speech.

"Yamashiro-san's meaning is that I want everyone to hold a happy cultural festival together, so what about Yubihama's opinion?"

I stood up, and to be honest, I was very grateful to Yamashiro for his speech just now, which meant that I could use some of the ideas in his speech.

"Thank you very much for the idea you just had. It made me think about many things as well. "I looked at the classmates, and most of them had an indifferent attitude in their eyes," Regarding the cultural festival of the middle school period of other countries mentioned by Yamashiro-san just now, it reminds me of the cultural festival of the middle school period of my country, and a similar situation has occurred in my class. However, I think that this kind of controversy is inevitable, and it is impossible to reach absolute agreement on the opinions of the students, and in the end, there will always be some students who need to compromise, and I think that this is what the cultural festival has taught us, and we may have to give up some of our individual ideas in the face of collective choice. But at the same time, of course, we also have something that we can't compromise, and that is the efforts of each of us when our plans are decided. Let each and every one of us strive for the ultimate success - I think this is the core task of the executive committee of the festival. Once we have decided on a project, we will not back down from the competition pressure of other classes, which is the first thing, the second is to distribute the work in the most efficient way so that everyone can quickly get ready for the cultural festival, and the third is to strive for the best time and platform according to whether our project is a public exhibition or a class exhibition, which is what I want to do for you after I am elected to the executive committee. Of course, the executive committee is a service to everyone, but if the executive committee is only used to negotiate the opinions of the people, and cannot accomplish tasks that others cannot do, then the executive committee will be less meaningful. And I believe that I can accomplish the tasks I have promised, and that's it. ”

Compared to Yamashiro's speech, when I sat down, there was no applause in the class - it was a matter of course, applause was always just a polite response when people didn't know how to respond. A real speech is one that makes people think.

Yamashiro's speech mentions "collective" everywhere, which seems to be a rallying effort, but subconsciously, it is just an evasion of his personal responsibility - when all his decisions are hijacked by the opinions of the people, he does not have to bear the price for his own mistakes.

Of course, if there is no comparison, his problem cannot be exposed.

However, when I pointed out the "responsibility of the executive committee", there was no way to hide this evasion from Yamashiro. The existence of the executive committee is not just a microphone for the collective, it should also do things that no one else can do, it should also take responsibility that no one should have, and it should also assign tasks to all those who do not know what they should do - this may not be something that every executive member should do, but when you point out these tasks, people will only think: Ah, what you say makes sense, if you can't do this, what is the use of the executive committee?

"So, let's start voting by raising your hands, shall we?"

A few hands scattered around, and even a few boys from the Isshiki Guards shook their heads with some uncertainty.

"So, what about the people who support Yubihama?"

"Well, after the vote, it will be decided that the boys' executive committee members will be Bihama. ”

The result was so natural that it couldn't be more natural, and by the time I finished speaking and saw everyone's reactions, the result was already certain.

By the way, I need to add a sentence to the question just now, the small character's desperate efforts in the face of a stronger character than him may have a good effect, but the problem is that if the gap between the strength of the small character and the other party is too large, even if the other party retains some strength, the final result is still crushed without suspense.

I looked at Yamajo, who sat down with some indignation, without sympathy—and by the time he stepped forward to try to thwart my plans, the result was already certain.

Yise looked at me with a smile, is she taking this incident in the mountain city as a test of my ability?

However, this kind of pleasure when crushing the opponent and then winning has not been felt for a long time.

――It's like everyone is dancing in my hands, and it's really comfortable!――

PS――
