Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 346 Ibuki's Help

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Horikita crossed her arms across her chest, as if she was taking over.

However, Ayanokouji did not play by the rules. He shook his head to indicate that he had nothing to ask.

The two of them fell into silence. The afterglow of the evening gradually faded away. Horikita put down his hand and began to explain to himself: "The class surveillance is broken. It is obvious that someone deliberately damaged it. It is most likely the person who voted against it in the end, or that person's accomplice. At this stage, we can't find out who it is. Rather than letting the class fall into mutual suspicion and doubt, it is better to sacrifice you."

Horikita patted Ayanokouji's shoulder, as if to comfort him. It was obvious that Horikita was not doing a good job in this way of controlling people by slapping them in the face and then giving them a candied date.

Ayanokouji could understand what Horikita said. If he didn't come out to take the blame, the atmosphere of mutual suspicion in the class would definitely affect the next exams. Of course, this was only one aspect. The other aspect was that Horikita wanted to win over Kikyo. Horikita didn't say this, but Ayanokouji was also very clear about it. Of course, there was another reason that drove Horikita to let Ayanokouji take the blame so naturally, and that was that there was no risk in choosing to let Ayanokouji take the blame, and all negative impacts were nothing to Ayanokouji.

It was at this time that Horikita finally realized how useful a tool Ayanokouji was. People who like to take advantage of others will eventually be taken advantage of by others. Ayanokouji was not averse to Horikita's behavior, and at this stage, he also supported her decisions.

"Then how do you plan to find that person? We can't rule out the possibility that the person who voted against you will sabotage the sports festival like Kikyo did, and Kikyo is still on the opposite side of you. And because of the crime I took, I am not suitable to take action in many situations in the class. Sato has also discovered your lies, and I need to deal with her too. I don't have more time and energy to help you."

Ayanokouji's words implied that Horikita now had three difficult problems facing her: the arrangement of the sports festival, the search for the traitor, and the capture of Kikyo. Ayanokouji also said that he was very busy and would not come to help.

Horikita glared at Ayanokouji with his right eye and said, "You can't indulge in love affairs. I'll leave the matter of the traitor to you. I plan to ask Hirata for help with the sports festival. I will go and solve the problem of Kushida."

"Let me ask you, how do you plan to convince Kushida? When you announced her previous misdeeds to the class, the relationship between you two was already completely antagonistic."

If Horikita had the ability to convince Kushida, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.

"Anyway, I will do my best. Ayanokouji-san, you should go and catch the traitor first."

There is no doubt that he was just trying to be brave. Ayanokouji did not comment on Horikita, but just stared into Horikita's eyes without asking anything. However, that calm look brought Horikita a lot of pressure.

"When the last resort comes, I will ask for your advice."

Horikita has learned a little humility, but her tsundere nature is still as strong as ever. Ayanokouji is neither Ryuuen nor Jesus, and he doesn't always grant requests.

"I have no solution for Kushida. You know my opinion is to eliminate Kushida. Since you want to keep her, please work harder."

Ayanokouji has two practical plans, but he doesn't plan to tell Horikita. Until now, Ayanokouji still thinks that dropping out of Kushida is the best option.

"Ah."

Horikita's voice became serious, and the cold tone instantly distanced people from each other.

Ayanokouji knew that Horikita had chosen the wrong path again, and from the looks of her, she was really prepared to solve Kushida's problem on her own, but she couldn't do it on her own.

It wasn't out of kindness, Ayanokouji just didn't want to see Horikita wasting his energy: "Kushida and you don't get along, maybe you can find someone else to help."

"Got it. I'll think about it."

Horikita nodded, and without wasting any more time, went straight to meet with Kushida Kikyo.

Although Horikita didn't know which room Kikyo lived in, she would be able to find out by just asking around.

Standing in front of Kikyo's dormitory door, Horikita took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door. Several classmates were walking back and forth in the corridor, casting doubtful looks at Horikita.

The door was not open. Horikita's first reaction was that Kushida Kikyo was not in the room, but where could she have gone?

Horikita didn't stay long and planned to leave first, but on the way he saw the electric meter on the wall. The electric meter belonging to Kikyo's room was running at a high speed, which should be using high-power electrical appliances.

Kikyo was in the room, and Horikita went back to the door and knocked harder this time, but there was still no response. The loud noise made the students in the corridor feel a little dissatisfied.

Horikita withdrew her hand that was knocking on Hong. It seemed that Kushida Kikyo was deliberately avoiding Horikita and had no intention of meeting Horikita at all.

If we can't even have a normal communication, how can we convince Kikyo? Horikita was a little frustrated, but one failure was not enough to destroy her confidence.

Horikita planned to fight a protracted war with Kikyo Kushida, so she stood in front of Kikyo's door, ignoring the discussions in the corridor and knocking on Kikyo's door regularly.

Compared to Horikita, Kikyo was obviously more patient. She showed no sign of wanting to open the door. It was getting late, and Horikita couldn't hold on any longer and decided to continue tomorrow.

Rubbing the back of his sore hand, Horikita planned to take the elevator back to his dormitory floor, but unfortunately, he met Ibuki while waiting for the elevator.

"Why are you here? You don't live on this floor."

Ibuki had a look of disgust on her face and was not in a good mood when she met Horikita, or rather, she was not in a good mood when she met anyone. This was why she had almost no friends, but anyone who knew Ibuki knew that she did not have any ill intentions.

Ibuki is like a hedgehog. Her thorns are not meant to hurt others. Under the thorns is a strong girl's heart.

Because of her stubborn personality, Ibuki always likes to provoke those who are stronger than her. Ryuuen will not bother with her, and Horikita has no hostility towards Ibuki. In Horikita's eyes, Ibuki is purer than most people.

But Horikita didn't greet Ibuki with a smile. She wasn't in the mood to play with Ibuki right now.

"Ding."

The elevator arrived and Horikita stepped into it first, but Ibuki did not.

Horikita showed a puzzled expression, but Ibuki gave Horikita a middle finger and said, "I don't want to take the elevator with you."

As the elevator door closed, Horikita, who was standing alone in the elevator, didn't care at all about Ibuki giving her the middle finger. She was still thinking about how to get Kikyo to open the door.

"Ding."

The elevator door opened again. There was no one in line on Horikita's floor, but Horikita did not go down directly. Instead, she stayed in the elevator.

The elevator door closed again, and soon it returned to Kikyo's floor.

Ibuki was still waiting for the elevator unhappily. With a ding, the elevator door opened. Just as Ibuki was about to go in, he saw a familiar face.

Horikita was standing there expressionlessly, which scared Ibuki.
