Chapter 5

"Isn't this the president of the Student Council, Rin Tohsaka? Why are you here so early today?"

Levi looked at the girl about to enter the school gate with some surprise. After all, it was more than an hour before class started. At this time, apart from the cleaning aunties and the gatekeeper uncles, almost no one else would be on campus. If it weren't for the work he had to do last night, which left him almost sleepless, he wouldn't have come to school this early either.

"I have to return to school at this time to handle affairs, all because of a certain irresponsible Student Council advisor. Mr. Levi, please explain why you didn't attend yesterday afternoon's opening meeting? I will impose the appropriate punishment based on your answer!"

The black-haired girl turned around at the school gate. Her stern and dignified appearance was completely at odds with her harsh words. As rumored, she was the current head of an ancient family, and her upbringing allowed her to maintain a serious expression while speaking. However, the black pigtails hanging on either side of her head, trembling slightly, clearly showed her dissatisfaction.

Levi also wondered why he had to endure the anger of three girls within just twenty-four hours. But this time, it was indeed his fault. Yesterday, to avoid being chased by the class representative, Fujibayashi Kaede, he fled home right after school. After dinner, he remembered that the Student Council would have many tasks to handle on the first day of school. This was why, despite working through the night, he still came to school early instead of going home to sleep in. To some extent, Levi was still a teacher with a bit of responsibility.

"Leaving school too early yesterday was my mistake, and I apologize, Miss Tohsaka. I'll handle the remaining work right away. Are you satisfied, Miss Rin Tohsaka?"

Without waiting for a response, Levi walked towards the club activity building next to the main teaching building, where the Student Council office was located in a small three-story building.

"Ah~ What can I do with this guy? Why did the school assign him to be the Student Council advisor..."

The girl following behind the teacher complained in a voice she thought only she could hear. Whether these words could be hidden from Levi, who was more sensitive than a vampire, was probably only clear to God, who had been sleeping since the seven-day model battle last night.

Behind a wooden door on the second floor of the club activity building, which looked no different from the other club rooms, was the Student Council office, a place that most students were curious about and yearned for. Unlike the luxurious president's office at the top of the clock tower in the central area of the noble school White Emperor, the narrow space of the Student Council office at No. 2 High School, with only a round meeting table and a president's desk, could be described as shabby. Yet, this shabby office handled all sorts of problems for the students every day. The pile of papers on the president's desk, resembling a small mountain, was the result of a certain irresponsible teacher's absence.

"The amount... is too much! It's just an ordinary first day of school, why are there so many things to handle? Could it be that you, President Tohsaka, are being too strict?"

Levi casually flipped through the mountain of papers on the desk. In most schools, the student president was a strict manager feared by ordinary students. Rin Tohsaka, with her excellent grades, dignified and beautiful appearance, and good character, was respected by the students. But this didn't change the fact that she was strict with her classmates.

At this moment, the president was staring at him with her beautiful big eyes, her fine eyebrows twitching and her lips trembling, showing that she was not only strict with students but also willing to impose the harshest punishments on certain teachers who lacked professional ethics when necessary!

"Mr. Levi..."

"Y-Yes!"

The sinister tone from behind made Levi tense up, assuming the most standard defensive posture.

"Who, at the end of the semester, allowed the clubs to continue activities during the holidays? Who is the irresponsible person who caused this pile of holiday activity reports? Can you tell me, Mr. Levi?"

The one who made this decision that troubled the Student Council was naturally Levi. The reason was very simple: he wanted to have a leisurely holiday. The so-called serious and meticulous excellent student president was just Rin Tohsaka's disguise in front of others. In reality, she loved pranks and enjoyed tormenting the poor teacher who was unfortunately entangled with her due to a fateful connection. She was a more evil little devil than the vampire girl in Levi's home. And because of that fateful connection, Levi, who became her guardian, couldn't avoid her. After much thought, he concluded that he couldn't let this president have any free time! Thus, continuously increasing the Student Council's workload became the best solution. The result was that Rin Tohsaka was on the verge of losing control.

"This is my fault. To make up for it, I will finish these reports today. Please forgive me, Rin!"

Levi knew that even the slightest provocation would immediately send the president into a berserk state, starting to brutally torment him both mentally and physically. He took a few steps back and made a sincere apology, but inside, he couldn't help feeling a bit sad. Whether as a guardian or a teacher, he was such a failure, lacking any authority. But what could he do? Should he really follow what Rin's father, Tohsaka Tokiomi, said when he entrusted her to him, 'spank her if she doesn't listen'?

Levi quickly ran to the other side of the table and sat in the president's seat. He took out a pen from his shirt pocket, picked up a report from the top of the pile, and started reviewing it.

Seeing Levi's actions, Rin estimated that her threat had achieved its purpose. As long as he worked diligently, she didn't mind him occupying her seat. She stopped speaking to avoid any mishaps and opened her bag to take out a pen, sitting down at the meeting table to start her work for the day.

Neither of them spoke. In the quiet office, only the sound of pens scratching on paper could be heard. A ray of morning sunlight shone through the window, making it look like an ordinary Student Council. It was hard to imagine that a student had just coerced a teacher just a moment ago.

Since he couldn't escape, Levi decided to finish the annoying work as soon as possible. His pen moved at an astonishing speed, and the mountain of reports quickly shrank.

As the saying goes, good things come with many obstacles. Just as Levi was working hard, and Rin was feeling relieved, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

She looked at her watch; it was already time for some students to start returning to school. It was probably a club or class representative. Rin signaled with her eyes for Levi to continue working, put down her pen, and went to open the door.

"Excuse me, may I come in?"

"Please come in."

Rin had some memory of the girl standing at the door. She remembered that she was the class representative of the class Levi was in charge of last year, surnamed Fujibayashi, and seemed to have a twin sister. Recalling the information about Fujibayashi Kaede, she calmly accepted being addressed with formal language by a senior. After all, she was the student president. This was the privilege of a bureaucrat, and such hierarchical distinctions existed even in the relatively pure school environment.

Kaede didn't think as much as Rin did. She could imagine that the Student Council would be crowded with class representatives submitting their lists on the second day of school. To avoid sweating in the crowd, she came to school early. Still a bit groggy from the difficulty of waking up in the morning, she didn't notice that the 'enemy' she had been searching for yesterday was sitting in a corner.

Unfortunately, some people like to invite trouble, and Levi was one of them.
