Crossover: Becoming Japan’s Prime Minister? Chapter 207 - 208: What the F is That Noise?

"Good boy, with you here, I feel like the school is going to fall into chaos."

In the Shuchi'in Academy President's office, President Adolf Pescarolo looked at Toru, who was laughing and treating the place like his own ho, and spoke with a headache.

Toru sat on the sofa, picked up a clean teacup from the President's office, and poured himself a cup of tea.

He leaned back on the sofa with his legs crossed, his posture relaxed and casual.

"What do you an by chaos? Wasn't it you, President, who personally sent a ssage and asked to return to Shuchi'in Academy? Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered coming back."

"So this is all my credit then?"

"It really is your credit, President. You should promote your achievents more around the school so the students will admire you even more."

Adolf Pescarolo shook his head.

"I don't know what those boys and girls in this school see in you that made them insist on inviting you back."

Toru thought for a mont and said, "Perhaps because I'm very handso?"

The President carefully looked at him for a few monts, then nodded.

"You do have so of the handsoness I had when I was young. No wonder the students welco you so enthusiastically."

Toru's mouth twitched.

You really are finding different ways to praise yourself.

However, looking at the President's appearance as an elderly gentleman, it was easy to imagine that he must have been very handso when he was young. Otherwise, he would not still look like a handso old man now.

"Since you've finally returned, we should make a proper appearance. How about giving a speech to everyone later?"

"No problem. Broadening the horizons of my juniors and sharing my ideas with them is sothing I am always willing to do."

"Do you need a speech draft? There are still thirty minutes before the speech. I can prepare one for you imdiately."

Toru shook his head.

"No need. It's the sa old content anyway."

Adolf Pescarolo thought for a mont and muttered to himself.

"It's just that 'future Pri Minister of Japan' theory of yours again, right?"

Toru smiled.

"That's right, that exact theory."

"What exactly are you thinking, boy? Why are you so obsessed with becoming the Pri Minister of Japan? Even your Tokyo University entrance speech used that sa theory."

Because only by becoming Pri Minister can I obtain the system's final reward.

And becoming Pri Minister is not simple.

Especially since the system requires taking the proper path, not crooked thods. The only option is through elections.

What else can I do? I can only accumulate support slowly.

Toru thought silently in his heart and then spoke aloud.

"I want to beco the new Shogunate General."

The President choked slightly.

That really is a grand ambition.

You want to continue dictatorship in a democratic and free society.

"I believe in elitism and acknowledge that this world belongs to elites. Students of Tokyo University are elites, and so of them will definitely enter Japan's political arena in the future, so I need them to listen to ."

"Shuchi'in Academy is also an excellent place. The parents of the students here are spread throughout Japan's elite circles."

"They include mbers of the Supre Court, famous lawyers, high-ranking governnt officials, and important executives of large conglorates."

"These people do not need to beco elites themselves. As long as they possess a little intelligence and ability, they can achieve high positions in Japanese society through the support of their families."

"And what I need is for them to listen to as well. It would be even better if their parents also listened to ."

Toru openly explained his plans without any hesitation.

Adolf Pescarolo sighed.

"Then it seems you have already succeeded. The students of Shuchi'in Academy admire you greatly, and you have gained considerable influence among them."

Toru replied modestly.

"It is still far from enough, President. Only a small portion of the students here are geniuses. Most of them are average, so it is normal for them to admire ."

"But Tokyo University is different. The students there are geniuses gathered from all over Japan. If I want them to admire to the sa extent, I still have a long way to go."

Adolf Pescarolo joked.

"I always feel that if you fail to run for Pri Minister, you might end up splitting Japan."

Toru laughed.

"Then I will definitely choose a beer hall for my speech. At that ti, I will invite you, President, to attend. Your na will certainly increase my chances of success."

Adolf Pescarolo glared at him irritably.

His na was Adolf, but not HiXX.

And although his na sounded German, he was actually a genuine Frenchman.

A Frenchman who saw Adolf raise the white flag.

"You little rascal, alright, go ahead. The podium has already been prepared for you."

Adolf Pescarolo waved his hand, signaling Toru to leave quickly.

Toru smiled, finished the tea in his cup, stood up slowly, and left the President's office.

Only after Toru left did the President of Shuchi'in Academy fall into deep thought.

As for Toru, he had never truly understood him.

He still rembered that more than a year ago, Toru had suddenly transferred into the school.

At that ti, Oko, the chairman of Shuchi'in Academy, had personally intervened to allow him to enroll.

In the modern history of Shuchi'in Academy after its reforms, such a thing had never happened.

No student had ever transferred into the school during the third year of high school.

However, Adolf Pescarolo was rely soone working for the Shinomiya family.

He had no interest in interfering with these matters and simply did his job.

As the President of Shuchi'in Academy, he was among the few people who knew Toru's identity very early on.

He was the illegitimate son of the Fujiwara family.

However, when Toru enrolled at that ti, he did not enter under the identity of the Fujiwara family but as an ordinary student.

This led to him being suppressed by the so-called "pure students" after enrolling.

Especially the forr Student Council President.

That person strongly disliked Toru and constantly mocked and bullied him.

Adolf Pescarolo had originally intended to use his authority as President to stop it, because Toru had been sent by the Shinomiya family.

But events developed extrely quickly.

Not long afterward, sothing happened to the parents of the Student Council President who had been causing trouble for Toru.

His parents were governnt officials.

They were suddenly exposed for corruption and bribery, and soon afterward they were investigated and imprisoned with astonishing speed.

After losing the protection of his parents, the forr Student Council President imdiately lost all influence.

No one knew what exactly happened.

But Adolf only knew that the forr Student Council President knelt and apologized to Toru in front of the entire school.

Even then, the matter was not finished.

Not long afterward, the Student Council President withdrew from school and disappeared completely.

No one knew where he went.

Soon afterward, news arrived that his parents, who had corrupted society, had committed suicide in prison.

Toru quickly took control of the Student Council and used decisive thods to make the entire Shuchi'in Academy obey him.

At that ti, it was more accurate to say Toru was the President rather than Adolf.

Because Adolf was afraid.

He suspected that Toru was the mastermind behind everything.

However, at that ti he could not figure out how Toru had done it, nor could he determine what kind of power stood behind him.

He subconsciously believed it was the Fujiwara family.

In any case, he simply allowed Toru to do whatever he wanted.

For the sake of safety, Adolf Pescarolo barely interfered with school affairs during Toru's ti there and was happy to relax.

Only after Toru graduated did he regain his authority as President.

And the events of the past few months had led Adolf to another conclusion.

Behind Toru there was another more mysterious power.

A power far greater than the Fujiwara family.

This realization made him very grateful that he had never opposed Toru and had obediently acted as a puppet President.

"This young man is truly formidable. If things continue like this, becoming Pri Minister will only be a matter of ti."

"Never mind, it has nothing to do with . I will just quietly wait until retirent. That is better than anything."

Adolf Pescarolo slowly drank his tea, feeling relaxed.

...

At the Shuchi'in Academy Auditorium, Toru looked calmly at the building, which was even larger than the Tokyo University auditorium.

Many students of Shuchi'in Academy were already seated inside, while others without seats stood along the corridors.

Attendance at this speech was not mandatory.

Students could attend if they wanted, and skip it if they did not.

However, once they heard that the speaker was the forr Student Council President, Toru, all the students rushed over and completely filled the place.

The current Student Council President had essentially beco a figurehead and acted like Toru's subordinate.

When Toru served as Student Council President, this student had been a second-year high school student.

He had personally witnessed the once arrogant forr President kneel before Toru and beg for forgiveness.

Toru was also his idol.

An insurmountable mountain.

After arriving at the auditorium and seeing the dense crowd, the place was noisy like a marketplace.

He turned on the microphone and simply said, "Please quiet down."

Imdiately, the entire auditorium beca silent.

Conan, who had also co to the auditorium with the children, clicked his tongue in admiration when he saw Toru's authority.

"First of all, my return to Shuchi'in Academy this ti is to complete a task that I did not finish during my ti as Student Council President."

"I know many students of Shuchi'in Academy have long complained about the school uniforms and think they are too ugly."

"And just now I discussed this with the President, and he agreed that starting next sester, the uniforms will be redesigned. The specific design changes will be decided by the students."

In an instant, the entire auditorium erupted in cheers.

"Long live Fujiwara-kaichou!"

"Fujiwara-kaichou is amazing!"

"The girls' skirts in the Shuchi'in Academy uniform are too long. I propose shortening them by ten centiters!"

"Ten centiters is not enough. I propose shortening them by twenty centiters!"

"I suggest not wearing skirts at all. Shuchi'in Academy should be different from other schools. We are special. We should wear bikinis!"

...

The auditorium was extrely lively.

It seed that everyone had been complaining about the school uniforms for a long ti.

Toru waited with a smile until the noise gradually subsided.

Then he continued speaking.

"The topic I want to discuss next is an old one."

"In order to build a more fair and just society, and to allow everyone to live in such a society, I hope all of you will cast a vote for and make the Pri Minister of Japan."

"Because I just received news that my sister, Fujiwara Chika, also intends to run for Pri Minister. If you do not want the country to perish because of this, then you must support ."

As soon as his words fell, an even greater uproar erupted.

"No way!"

"Fujiwara Chika becoming Pri Minister? I'll take my whole family and emigrate tomorrow."

"It's over. Japan is truly finished."

...

It seed that the students of Shuchi'in Academy knew Chika's true nature very well.

Everyone tried to stop it.

Only Chika looked depressed.

Why, why would no one support ?

At that mont.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion suddenly echoed across the campus.

"What the F is that noise?"
