Chapter 9 – Club experience
Anyway, I came to the student council room after a long time, so I decided to listen more to the story.
As I sat on the sofa, Minami Akagi, the student council accountant who appeared like a shadow from nowhere, put green tea and sweet bean jelly on the table.
Both were high-end products from Kyoto, and the picky president did not touch the green tea or sweet bean jelly.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Saying so, Minami retreated quietly.
As you could guess from the name, Vice President Akagi and student council accountant Minami Akagi were cousins.
The Akagi family was part of the Saionji family, and it seemed that they had been working as employees of the main family for a long time.
If the vice president looked like someone hot-blooded, unlike him, Minami, the accountant, was extremely cool-headed.
They were two people with polar opposites, but their loyalty to the president was the same.
It was for that reason that Ichijo Academy Student Council, which was suspiciously powerful, was called the president’s private organization.
The president sat at her own desk, put her hands together and put her chin down.
Because of the curtains in the back, there was a shadow on her face, it looked like a black screen, but they didn’t have to set the mood in this situation
?
I had this question in my mind.
“Kim Yoo-sung-kun.”
“Yes.”
“What are you going to do during Golden Week?”
I paused for a moment and answered quickly.
“I don’t have any plans for the Golden Week. My parents also have to run the store, so I think I’ll probably stay at home.”
There was really nothing to do during this period because the fitness club was also closed.
“Well, that’s great. I need you to help me then.”
“What do you mean?”
Then the president gulped and spoke very slowly.
“I’m sure you already know that there’s something going on these days, right?”
“Oh, you mean interacting with a sister school in Russia?”
“Yes. The conversation was successful last week, so they decided to send us an exchange student after the Golden Week.”
“I see.”
And what about that?
“I want to make a good impression on the exchange student about our school. So, I want to give a small gift so that the student doesn’t feel burdened when we meet for the first time. So, I mean
”
The introduction was a little long for the president, who usually used direct speech, but I realized what she was trying to say.
“You mean you want me to pick a gift for the exchange student with you?”
“Yes! That’s right! That’s it!”
The president jumped to her feet and shouted that in an excited voice, but she sat down again, blushing as she realized her mistake belatedly.
“If that’s the case, of course I’ll help you. What date would you like to do it?”
“Well, I don’t mind any time. I’m asking for something annoying, so I’ll be in time for you.”
After hearing that, I took out my smartphone for a while and checked my calendar.
“How about the first day of the holiday on the 29th?”
“I like it!”
The president answered my question in half a second.
Looking at the speed of her response with a startled look, the president pushed the fan into me and said forcefully.
“I’ll never forgive you if you’re late and tell me something came up!”
“What? Yes
”
I nodded half-heartedly, as I was about to be beaten if I denied it.
Only then did the president, who lowered the fan as if she were satisfied, hummed, and started working on the backlog.

I really didn’t know what was happening.
For now, it seemed that the business the president called me for to the student council room was over, so as soon as I was about to go back to the classroom, I asked what came to my mind.
“Can I do side activities again starting this year?”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter.”
When I asked before, I got a sharp answer saying no, but now it seemed like it was okay.
I was glad I asked when they looked happy.
“
the place here looks nice!”
“You don’t know anything, it’s a hot place now.”
I told the vice-president and Minami, who were sitting on the sofa discussing something important, that I was going to go now, and then quietly closed the door so that I wouldn’t get in the way.
***
Originally, students belonging to the student council were able to concurrently participate in side activities and serve in the student council within the scope of not being unreasonable in their daily lives.
However, in the first grade, I was forced to leave the board game club in the middle of the second semester due to the president’s insistence on focusing only on the student council work.
In the meantime, the opportunity to do side activities came again.
I was sitting at my classroom desk reading a paper booklet from the newspaper department, when Kishimoto, who just came into the classroom, asked as she was curious.
“Ryu-chan, what are you looking at?”
I turned slightly and let her see the contents of the paper booklet.
“New recruitment posts?” Ryu-chan, you’re a sophomore. Didn’t you sign up for any side activities?”
I nodded my head.
“I quit when I was in first grade because of some reason. I thought I’d sign up for something again.”
Then Kishimoto clapped her hands as if she had an idea.
“Then do you want to walk around with me? I heard that after school, you can try a club experience from today!”
“Club experience?”
“Yes! It’s better to go and experience it and decide than to have a snowball fight with paper in the classroom!”
It seemed right.
Previously, I entered the board game club right away without much thought, so I had never experienced other clubs.
After her tempting suggestion I decided to go on a club tour after school.
***
“Then where should we go first?”
When asked by Kishimoto, who was a transfer student and didn’t yet have a club, I said where I had thought of in advance.
“I want to go to the sports club first.”
“Sports club?”
“I’m curious how far my skills can go.”
In fact, when I thought about it, I was just going to the local gym and training myself to the limit.
And it had always been questionable whether it would be enough at the actual level of the sports club.
It was because I lived like a squirrel going around the house, school, and gym, so I didn’t have a chance to test my abilities.
When I gave this opinion, Kishimoto made a very tomboyish expression and asked me to go to the field.
“What kind of club is doing experience learning at the field?”
Kishimoto replied with a big smile.
“Soccer club!”
***
The soccer team had the highest competition rate among all the side activities of Ichijo Academy.
That’s why for a guy who works out it was good.
And one of the most familiar sports for ordinary people was soccer.
If there are people who just like soccer and join because they want to play soccer, there were many freshmen who came to the sports club with the desire to hog the popularity of girls.
And, since he just became a high school student, there was a man who showed his unrivaled presence among the tall freshmen.
‘Well, why is he here?’
Ryohei, the head of the soccer department, who was now in his third year and participated in the national competition, was shocked to see Kim Yoo-sung, a student who was rumored to be ferocious on campus, among freshmen hoping to experience it.
An overwhelming physic.
The superior height and full-body muscles that easily exceeded the average height of Japanese men were like a full-body weapon.
Perhaps when he appeared on the field, there will be no one to deal with him at the high school level.
‘I want this guy!’
What position would he be good at?
Already in Ryohei’s head, the ferocious rumors about Kim Yoo-sung had nothing to do with him.
He had devoted himself to the soccer team for three years in high school.
He loved soccer more than anyone else and wanted to be recognized for it.
But there was no one in the current football team who could keep up with his passion.
Soccer is basically a team game.
No player can dominate the field alone.
If there was two or more members with similar skills, or at least one more member, they would be able to aim for the finals of the national competition this year.
To that extent, Ryohei was thirsty for a powerful new member.
“Come one by one and kick the ball.”
But he had to refrain from expressing it outright.
If he made it obvious, Kim Yoo-sung could go to another club feeling burdened.
Therefore, very naturally, he intended to persuade him earnestly as rainwater permeates the ground.
Soon, one by one, they kicked the ball toward the goalpost, and finally, the long-awaited turn of Kim Yoo-sung came.
Gulp –
It was no joke when he was sitting down, but it was even more overwhelming when he stood up and came right in front of him.
Standing in front of him, he felt as if he was a dwarf.
Even though the height difference was only about 10cm at most.
“Should I kick this?”
Looking down at the ball, Kim Yoo-sung asked it in a deep low voice.
“Oh? Yes.”
When Ryohei, who came to his senses belatedly, nodded hurriedly, Kim Yoo-sung stepped back slightly.
Then he raised his leg high,
Bang!!!
He kicked the soccer ball with a loud noise.
Ryohei, who turned his head in a hurry, wondered at the unshakable goal and saw Kim Yoo-sung again and witnessed an unbelievable scene.
Originally, he would have had no problem kicking a soccer ball.
It was lying under Kim Yoo-sung’s feet with a disastrous burst in the side.
“W, what?”
When Ryohei casually muttered like that, Kim Yoo-sung looked down at his feet, shook his head and said,
“It won’t work here.”
“Then next is the basketball team!”
Ryohei had no choice but to stare blankly at his back, which slowly moved away with a blonde high school girl.
