Chapter 80: Challenging Louisa

Hikari and Kisaragi Tomoe greeted Principal Rikka.

Principal Rikka turned her head and was slightly surprised to see the two of them.

She quickly figured out what was going on. First, she smiled and nodded at Hikari to acknowledge him.

Then, she turned to Kisaragi Tomoe and asked, "How was your first psychological session? How do you feel about the results?"

Faced with a direct question from the principal, with Hikari standing right next to her, Kisaragi Tomoe blushed slightly and lowered her head. "Well... um... it was... pretty good. I feel completely stress-free now."

Principal Rikka smiled. "As long as you're satisfied. I didn't expect you to return so quickly. I just went out to get a set of the mock midterm exam papers. The mock midterms are about to begin, and I originally thought you wouldn't need to participate."

"But since you've returned so coincidentally, if you think you're in good condition, you can take the exam as well."

Kisaragi Tomoe nodded. "Mm! I'll participate. I feel even better than usual right now."

"Even though I didn't review today, I remember things even more clearly than when I did."

Saying this, Kisaragi Tomoe turned her head and reluctantly looked at Hikari several times before trotting off towards the teaching building.

Principal Rikka then turned to Hikari. "Come with me to my office."

Hikari gladly agreed.

Following Principal Rikka, he entered the familiar principal's office.

Hikari noticed that Principal Rikka, instead of sitting in her authoritative principal's chair, merely perched on the edge of her desk. Her long, slender legs in stockings were still firmly planted on the floor.

Principal Rikka looked at Hikari with interest and asked with a smile, "Today you completed your first task as a psychological counselor. How did it feel?"

Hikari smiled. "Not bad. For inexperienced young girls like her, it's easy to guide them and help them release all their stress."

Principal Rikka chuckled. "So you're saying the session was quite effective?"

Hikari laughed as well. "It doesn't matter what I say. You can ask Kisaragi more thoroughly."

Principal Rikka's smile took on a deeper meaning. "I believe you, Hikari-kum. However, I'd like to test you myself. Would you mind?"

Hikari gave a slight smile. "Of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, Principal Rikka returned to her office chair. Her expression turned serious, exuding the same sternness she displayed when tackling work.

However, she stretched out her fair hand and beckoned Hikari with her finger.

[T/N: 👉🏻👌🏻👉🏻👌🏻👉🏻👌🏻]

[Two hours later]

Hikari walked out of the principal's office, feeling physically and mentally rejuvenated, holding a bank card with 1.5 million in his hand.

Of this, 1 million was payment for assisting Kisaragi Tomoe in her psychological session, along with a promised bonus from Principal Rikka.

The extra 500,000 was a reward after Principal Rikka personally tested him and expressed her satisfaction.

Additionally, Hikari had given Principal Rikka a massage after she accidentally twisted her foot, leaving her convulsing and in pain, even to the point of rolling her eyes. The massage cured her ailment.

This extra payment was her expression of gratitude and satisfaction.

In short, it was an easy way to earn a lot of money. Hikari was fairly content.

After all, it was earned through his hard work.

Humming a tune, Hikari headed to the elevator, escorted respectfully by the principal's secretary.

Although the secretary, dressed in black stockings, held a relatively high position as Principal Rikka's personal assistant, she treated Hikari with great respect.

She knew that Hikari was a distinguished guest of Principal Rikka.

Accompanying Hikari to the elevator, she personally pressed the button for him.

Hikari casually chatted with the beautiful secretary in black stockings while waiting for the elevator.

It seemed that someone else was using the elevator, so Hikari waited for a moment. Finally, the elevator arrived.

The elevator doors opened.

Hikari instinctively stepped forward but immediately withdrew his foot and took a few steps back.

Inside the usually vacant elevator stood a figure.

A graceful, golden-haired figure stepped out.

Seeing this familiar figure with a voluptuous figure, golden locks, and an air of a wealthy young lady, Hikari was slightly stunned before smiling and greeting her. "Yo, isn't this President Louisa? What a coincidence. This is only my second time here, and I've run into you twice. What a fate."

Louisa, who had just exited the elevator, was momentarily stunned upon hearing someone call her name.

Carrying a stack of test papers, she turned her head and, upon seeing Hikari, was momentarily dazed before snapping irritably, "It's you again, Hikari."

"I don't want to have any fate with you."

Seeing the black card in Hikari's hand, symbolizing at least a million-yen limit, her anger flared.

She angrily pointed at Hikari. "That card in your hand—did the principal just give it to you? Don't you feel ashamed and guilty holding that money?"

Hikari looked puzzled. "This is money I earned through my labor and skills. Why should I feel guilty?"

"On the other hand, Louisa, as a wealthy young lady, you should reflect on how you've never contributed to society, yet you can attend the expensive Seika Priavte Girls' Academy and even serve as student council president. Don't you find that odd?"

"You don't feel guilty, so why should I—a hardworking, self-reliant student earning money to support my family—feel guilty?"[T/N: Good gaslightling]

"You..." Louisa gritted her teeth and glared at Hikari but couldn't think of a retort. All she could do was stomp her feet angrily.

Her heaving chest rose and fell furiously, revealing her rage.

Pointing at Hikari's face, Louisa shouted, "No matter how you justify it, what you've done is wrong. You're aiding the principal in her wrongdoing. You're incorrigible."

At this point, Hikari had already entered the elevator and pressed the close button.

He didn't bother to respond to the emotionally twisted young lady but simply waved at her with a smile, signaling goodbye.

Seeing Hikari's calm demeanor enraged Louisa even more.

She stomped her foot and shouted, "Just wait. I'll put an end to this wrongdoing and ensure you can't earn money in such a filthy way."

"Wait and see. I'll make you regret it."

Looking at Louisa's futile rage, Hikari only made a face at her.

"Bleh~"

Louisa, her fury peaking, screamed, "You just wait. I'll trample you, a dirty and lowly man, into the mud and show you the gap between us."

Hikari shrugged. "I'm looking forward to it, Miss Louisa."

The elevator doors slowly closed as Hikari maintained his relaxed demeanor.

On the other side of the elevator doors, Louisa gritted her teeth furiously.

Her chest heaved violently, like an impending landslide.

She turned and stormed into the principal's office.

Inside, Principal Rikka, who was tossing shredded black stockings into the trash, was momentarily surprised by Louisa's sudden entrance before quickly regaining her composure.

Louisa, however, became even more furious at the sight.

At this time, Principal Rikka, who was throwing the torn black stockings into the trash can, was slightly stunned when she saw Louisa suddenly burst in, but she quickly regained her composure.

On the contrary, Louisa's face turned ashen upon seeing this scene, and she felt even more indignant.

After throwing a stack of exam papers on the desk, Louisa couldn't help but speak to Principal Rikka:"Dean, these are the papers for this midterm mock exam. I'm leaving them here."

"And then, I must bring up that matter again. Specifically, I strongly demand the abolition of the Specially Appointed Psychological Teacher System."

"I hope you will dismiss Hikari. He is not a good person; he is a bad apple."

"Continuing to let him serve as our academy's specially appointed psychological teacher will ruin the entire academy's atmosphere."

Standing in the dean's office, Louisa passionately articulated her sense of justice to the dean in front of her.

Principal Rikka, however, maintained her calm expression. She picked up a few fragments of her torn dress and the fallen high heels from the floor before slowly sitting back in her office chair.

As Principal Rikka slightly shifted her legs, she noticed a carton of milk she had accidentally knocked over onto the chair. [TN: For slow people, her milk means sem*n. Carton her is cond*m]

Perhaps she had drunk less than half of the milk before spilling it, as pure white milk was still flowing out.

The nutritious milky-white fresh milk spilled onto the office chair, her thighs, and the floor.

Principal Rikka's delicate eyebrows behind her silver-rimmed glasses slightly furrowed. She reached out with two fingers to pry open the straw hole of the milk carton and found that there was indeed quite a bit of untouched milk remaining.

'That guy, bringing milk but not taking it away—it's really annoying…'

Principal Rikka pulled a few tissues from the desk and nonchalantly wiped the milk carton opening, her thighs, and the traces of fresh milk on the office chair.

Seeing that the dean was busy with something, head down and ignoring her, Louisa couldn't hold back anymore. She spoke again: "Dean! Did you hear what I said? Or should I repeat it?"

After wiping the milk stains off her thighs and the office chair, Principal Rikka finally lifted her head.

Adjusting her glasses on the bridge of her nose, she said coldly and seriously: "I heard you. No need to repeat."

"Let me make it clear to you, Louisa."

"The Specially Appointed Psychological Teacher System, I will absolutely not abolish it."

Louisa asked in disbelief:"Why?"

Principal Rikka slowly replied: "Because we see things from different perspectives. You have no idea how much this Seika Private Girl's Academy needs a psychological counselor to guide minds and hearts."

"And Hikari, he is not a bad apple. He is the savior of Seika Girl's Academy."

"With him around, the stress levels of the students at Seika Girl's Academy will significantly decrease."

"Although we don't have abundant data to prove this yet, I am confident. With Hikari here, not only will the number of suicides caused by excessive stress be greatly reduced or even completely eradicated, but after relieving their stress, the students' academic and athletic performance will also greatly improve. This aligns with basic human physiology."

"Louisa, if you don't believe me, just wait until the results of this midterm mock exam come out."

"I believe that Kisaragi Tomoe, whose stress levels have significantly decreased, will show substantial improvement in this exam and rank among the top students in her grade."

"Maybe not surpassing you, the top student, but securing a spot in the top three of the grade should be no problem."

Hearing this, Louisa couldn't help but sneer: "Dean, what you're saying is… simply laughable."

"Kisaragi Tomoe, that girl, usually ranks in the twenties in the grade, rarely breaking into the top ten."

"Let alone now that she's fallen. A student like her, someone who just came back from a hotel with Hikari and then went to take the exam, is an insult to the entire Seika Private Girl's Academy."

"Don't even mention improvement in scores. If her scores actually improve, I, Louisa, will walk out of this office backward today"

Hearing Louisa's words, Principal Rikka suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She pointed at the desk and said: "By the way, your words just reminded me."

"That stack of papers on my desk—those are the midterm mock exam papers you just brought in, right?"

"The answer sheet is right next to that stack of papers. Take out Kisaragi Tomoe's test paper and compare it. I'm also quite curious about how much progress she's made this time."

Principal Rikka crossed her black-stockinged legs, which still had faint traces of milk, propped her chin with one hand, and watched Louisa with interest.

Although she hadn't seen the test papers yet, based on her earlier observations and seeing Kisaragi Tomoe and Hikari's vibrant spirits at the school gate today, she had her expectations.
