Kamiyama High. An incredibly prestigious academy, originally established to educate the children of nobles and samurai. In modern times, though, its students were the children of wealthy families, and the ones leading them cannot, by any meaning of the word, be referred to as "ordinary" people!

Kamishiro Rui, 17, was the student council's vice-president. His family, the Kamishiro group, was counted among the big four zaibatsu, and he was the son of the group's leader. A true genius he was, excelling in theater, music, martial arts, and countless other subjects!

Meanwhile, Tenma Tsukasa was the president, a man of unparelleled wisdom and intellect, constantly taking first place in mock examinations, the top scorer in the entire country! Contrasting the multi-talented Rui, he focused all his efforts on studying to a fearsome degree.

With how they held themselves, it was no surprise students would suspect a certain connection between them... "Have you heard, president?" Rui inquired, his demeanor calm as he helped Tsukasa sort out documents in the student council room, "It seems a rumor is going around that the two of us are in a relationship..." "Again? They are just at that age. Pay them no mind," Tsukasa dismissed it, focusing on his work.

"Dating? Why should I waste my time on such tripe?" You could hear him think, "But I suppose if Kamishiro were to ask me out, it wouldn't be completely out of the question..." Tsukasa, despite his uninterested look, was confident enough that Rui liked him, and he couldn't help but wonder how the vice-president would confess to him. But too bad, despite their mutual feelings, the two of them were stubbornly proud! Whoever confessed first was the loser, they thought. Day by day, they tried to outwit each other so that the other would make a move first. Tsukasa had absolutely no intention of losing, much less having Rui look down on him as if he was a pitiful, desperate peasant and say "How cute." He'd rather bite his tongue off!

And oblivous of the war waged in the minds of the student council was their secretary, Otori Emu. She was as cheerful as ever, bringing some coffee cups to the table. "I made some coffee!" She said, handing them their cups, "Wah! President, you finally got a smartphone?!"

Yes, while Tsukasa initially believed that owning a phone was unecessary, he finally realized how essential it was for high school life! In this day and age, the ritual of exchanging contact information was an act of love! "That's right. I even have LINE set up!" Tsukasa said proudly, showing Emu his account, to which the girl smiled and offered to exchange IDs.

"Come on, Kamishiro! Ask for my ID, too!" Tsukasa thought eagerly, glancing at the vice-president. But to his surprise, Rui didn't move an inch. He was calmly sipping his coffee! Of course, he had no intention of asking for Tsukasa's ID, a sign of admitting his feelings. Tsukasa just had to try better!

"Ah, president, your profile picture... Is that you as a child?" Emu exclaimed, her voice excited, "So cute!" Rui started to take the bait and grew curious. A photo of his president as a child, they said, Rui tried to dismiss it as trivial, but... "But it's a little embarrassing. I should change it in... three minutes," Tsukasa said clearly, knowing that Rui would have to act if he wanted to see that once-in-a-lifetime photo.

...Not that he was aware of that Rui's phone was a flip phone, which meant that he couldn't use LINE.
