Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 117 Ichinose's Confession

"What if I say Nan Yunya wants you to drop out of school?"

Horikita Manabu had long expected that Ayanokouji would not agree to him so easily.

"I don't understand why Senior Nanyun wants me to drop out of school. I don't remember doing anything to offend you."

Ayanokouji's expression remained calm, but the slight movement of him looking up showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.

"I guess it's because of Kikyo."

Ryuuen could figure it out with a little thought. The only reason that could make Nanyun target a junior student for no reason could be because of a woman. In addition, Kikyo spread rumors about various classes at this time, and the student union did nothing. It was easy to think that there might be some kind of deal between Kushida Kikyo and Nanyun.

Ayanokouji turned his gaze towards Ryuen.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not interested in boys, and I didn't instigate Kikyo. Even though you and I don't get along, I don't want you to drop out of school. After all, that would be a lot less fun."

"As long as we get rid of Kikyo Kushida, it will be easier to deal with her than to go against President Nanyun." Ayanokouji still refused to agree to cooperate with Ryuen.

"According to my understanding of Nan Yun, once he holds a grudge against you, he will still attack you even if Kushida Kikyo is expelled from school by you. Or, it is precisely because Kushida Kikyo was expelled from school that Nan Yun will not let you go."

Horikita Manabu's words were still convincing. He was not exaggerating, and he was determined to get Ayanokouji to join them. In the end, Ayanokouji had no choice but to join them.

After Ayanokouji officially joined, Horikita Manabu began to share his information.

...

Meanwhile, Sakayanagi brings her classmates to Class B to cause trouble.

As soon as Ichinose arrived in the classroom, he was surrounded by students from Class B. They wanted to protect Ichinose.

"You are so loyal to a thief."

Sakayanagi came to the podium of Class B under the protection of Hashimoto and Kamuro.

"According to the school's announcement, Ichinose has indeed obtained a large number of personal points. She must be trusted by the class and act like a bank, but can a thief really take on such a position? It must be very dangerous for Ichinose Honami to take on such a position."

Sakayanagi wants to destroy Class B's trust system and disintegrate Class B spiritually.

Sakayanagi knew Ichinose's character very well, and knew that if she chose to use silence as a weapon, she would be pushed to the edge of a cliff.

"Feel sorry."

Ichinose lowered his head, and this act of apology was undoubtedly an admission of guilt. Shibata was shaken, and the little girl who usually followed Ichinose also gasped. Kanzaki also planned to stop Ichinose from speaking.

But Ichinose still stood on the podium, and Sakayanagi gentlemanly gave up her seat, and Ichinose became the protagonist of this farce.

She took a deep breath and told her story:

Ichinose's family was poor, and his father's early death left his mother with the burden of supporting the family.

Ichinose is the eldest daughter in the family and she has a younger sister who is in elementary school.

Both sisters are strong, kind and sensible girls.

Because of their poor family background, their mother worked two jobs to raise the Ichinose sisters. Ichinose also planned to go to work after graduating from junior high school because going to high school would cost a lot of money, which her mother could not afford.

Working can not only reduce the burden on my mother, but also allow my sister to live a better life.

However, her mother strongly opposed it. Although the family was poor, Ichinose never felt hardship. She thought that as long as the three of them could be happy, it would be fine. In order to share her mother's pressure, Ichinose studied hard and worked hard to get the treatment of an excellent student, and grew up to be recognized as the first in the school.

The two sisters have always lived a tight life. The younger sister is also very sensible. She never asks to buy clothes she likes, goes out shopping with friends, or acts like a spoiled child to her sister and mother.

Until one of her younger sister’s birthdays, she wanted to get a hairpin of the same style as the one popular among celebrities last year.

In order to fulfill my sister's only wish, my mother forced herself to work and fell ill and was hospitalized.

Until now, Ichinose can still remember clearly that her mother apologized while crying, and her sensible sister also exploded at that time, fiercely accusing her mother of incompetence, crying and wailing that just one wish could not be fulfilled.

There are so many bad people in the world, it's okay to be a bad person for my sister. It's just a hairpin worth more than 10,000 yen. It's okay. We have endured it for a long time and we will definitely be forgiven. With this mood, Ichinose came to the department store in a daze, put the hairpin into his bag without anyone noticing, and then slipped away.

Because it was a stolen hairpin, there was no packaging, but my sister was still very happy to receive the gift.

Seeing his sister's smile, Ichinose felt his guilt alleviated for a moment.

Originally, Ichinose and her sister agreed to keep the hairpin matter a secret, but she wore it when visiting her mother.

When her mother learned the truth, she got angry for the first time. She beat Ichinose severely and confiscated her sister's hairpin.

The mother, who was supposed to be recuperating in the hospital, forcibly dragged Ichinose to the door of the store, and they both knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

The moment he kowtowed humbly, Ichinose finally understood how serious the sin he had committed was, a fact that he could not escape no matter how many excuses he made.

The crying of his younger sister and his exhausted mother made Ichinose shut himself off from the world.

Although the store did not hand Ichinose over to the police and expressed forgiveness verbally, Ichinose could not forgive himself.

For nearly half a year, Ichinose locked herself in her room, but she didn't lock the door to avoid worrying her sister and mother.

Until one day, the homeroom teacher called Ichinose and told him that there was a school that did not charge tuition and that he could work anywhere after graduation.

Ichinose's mother thought this was an opportunity and encouraged Ichinose to continue studying.

For Ichinose, this is her chance to start over, so she cherishes it very much. She also hopes that her sins can be redeemed in school.

Eager to become the best student, Ichinose first applied to join the student council, hoping to become an outstanding person like the student council president, so he has been working hard.

But as expected, criminals cannot be forgiven.

Ichinose told her everything on the podium. After she finished, she suddenly felt relieved. Although she would have nothing in the end and would lose the hearts of those who trusted her and leave alone in the end, Ichinose no longer felt sad after telling everything.

However, after the Class B students in the audience listened carefully to every word of Ichinose, they did not give up on Ichinose in the end. Shiranami Chihiro took the lead and stepped forward to hold Ichinose's hand: "Honami, no matter what, we are friends. You will always be the only leader of Class B in my mind."

The people in the audience also cast trusting glances at him.

Looking at the determined eyes in the audience, Ichinose wanted to cry again, but his tears had dried up yesterday.

Ichinose choked up:

"Everyone, although it's very shameless, everyone, are you willing to go with me to the end?"

There was a moment of silence, but then Class B cheered.
