People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

I initially suspected that Class A had hired Class D from the second year to frame Karuizawa, in order to make our class fall behind Class A and become unable to threaten them.

But then I thought about it again and realized something was wrong.

Those guys in Class A often like to call themselves 'elites,' they shouldn't resort to such despicable tactics.

I'm not saying that Class A is necessarily morally superior, but they shouldn't be at a point where they can easily throw away their reputation. You know, reputation and credibility, although invisible and intangible, still have value.

Even if it has to be used, it should be used as an ace. Even if it's meant to expel an enemy, it should be used to expel someone like Shirai, not Karuizawa.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Hearing this, Karuizawa was a little unconvinced: "Am I not as good as Shira... Ah? Then how about I compare to Shirai? Okay, is that all?"

Horikita continued, "Shirai said someone might come looking for us."

He meant that there was still a chance to 'make peace' regarding the Karuizawa matter.

This opened my eyes!

So, the mastermind behind this should not be Class A, but someone who doesn't care about public opinion!

That makes perfect sense.

Since there is an opportunity for negotiation, it means that what the other party wants is not to make us lose points, but to have other purposes.

In other words, the other party's goal was not to make our class lose points.

The other party actually had other requests of our class.

The framing of Karuizawa was a 'demand' that person deliberately created to get what he wanted from our class.

Once we accept their conditions, Karuizawa will be safe and sound, but what price our class will pay for it will likely be less than the loss to the class if Karuizawa is expelled.

If we can leave evidence when the other party contacts us privately, this evidence could very well be the key to turning the tide and winning, without paying any price!

Conversely, if we don't handle this well, we'll miss this opportunity and might even let them succeed. Saving Karuizawa will come at a price.

After listening to Horikita's analysis, Bai Lan nodded.

Horikita's statement was basically correct.

However, due to a lack of certain information, Horikita was unaware of the grudge between Shirai and Nagumo, so there are still some parts that were not mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Hirata immediately broke into a joyful smile:

"In other words, as long as someone gets in touch with us, whatever the final outcome, it won't be more serious than Karuizawa being expelled, right?"

Hirata believes that as long as no one drops out of school, everything is fine.

When Kushida saw Hirata smile, she smiled too, but there was a hint of worry in her smile.

Kushida could guess that if Karuizawa didn't have to drop out of school, the price that would have to be paid would definitely be shared by the whole class, and the other party's ambitions must be considerable.

She might end up living a very frugal life because of this.

"Hopefully, the person who is approached will cooperate well with Bai, allowing Bai to successfully seize the other party's weakness and turn the tide of battle."

This way, we can solve Karuizawa's problem of dropping out of school, and aside from time, we'll lose almost nothing. If no one else causes problems, Shiro should be able to do it, right?

Kushida looked forward to it in his heart.

Time flies, and May 23rd has arrived.

The arbitration proceedings have resumed.

However, the defenders on Karuizawa's side did not look too happy.

Because no one had come looking for them during this period!

Besides, they also found no evidence that could be used to retaliate against Yonekura's side, after all, there were only less than four days left.

Therefore, as soon as the arbitration meeting began, Karuizawa was about to fall into a "dead end" with no room for resistance!

Bai Lan's complexion wasn't very good either.

With the "fishing ground" about to close, he still hadn't caught a fish.

Just as Bai Lan was preparing to "pack up" and leave, revealing the evidence that could prove Karuizawa's innocence and ending everything.

At that moment, someone pushed open the door to the special classroom.

"Excuse me for interrupting, Horikita-senpai, I have a document here that needs your signature, and it's due soon..."

Bai Lan's eyes lit up.

A glimmer of hope appeared – the fish had arrived!

129. To kill someone is to destroy their spirit?

Just as the arbitration was about to reach the conclusion that "Karuizawa would be punished," and Bai Lan was about to make her move.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door, and then the door to the special classroom was pushed open, and a boy walked in.

"Excuse me for interrupting, Horikita-senpai, I have a document here that needs your signature, and it's due soon..."

At this crucial moment, they suddenly entered a special classroom.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be the fish that Bai Lan has been fishing for!

Thinking of this, Bai Lan's eyes lit up and she looked towards the door.

But when he saw who it was, he couldn't help but smack his lips in disgust.

Masaru Nagumo!

Why is it still you?

Bai Lan thought she might be able to unlock a new character.

That way, after the final exams, he'll have one more target to beat up.

It's important to understand that you can't beat the same target repeatedly. After beating someone once, you have to wait for them to recover before you can beat them a second time.

Just like the cooldown time in a game.

Each additional target that can be used to beat up means that Bai Lan can accumulate disciplinary points at twice the speed!

Unfortunately, the "fish" he had finally managed to catch turned out to be the same person he had been eyeing for a long time.

The chance to "double the speed of dropping out" is gone!

Fortunately, Bai Lan was still able to target the five people who framed Karuizawa, including Yonekura and Yonekura's "defenders."

As mentioned before, Bai Lan doesn't discriminate between men and women when she beats people; she won't let anyone off the hook if she feels they deserve a beating.

Since they dare to frame others for their own selfish interests, attempting to force someone to drop out of school and ruin their future.

Therefore, Bai Lan felt perfectly justified in beating them up.

Unfortunately, Yonekura fabricated the injuries to frame Karuizawa, and the "fake" part of these fabricated injuries was only the identity of the person who created them, but the injuries were real.

With Mi Cang injured like this, Bai Lan couldn't bring herself to harm him.

Of course, it wasn't because Bai Lan felt sorry for her; after all, given Mi Cang's appearance and the things she had done, she didn't deserve any pity.

The main issue is that the opponent is already low on health, and these injuries weren't inflicted by Bai Lan herself.

Those laymen who don't understand the human body might cause seemingly ordinary but actually very dangerous injuries if they act recklessly.

Without knowing the extent of the other person's injuries, he might inflict secondary damage by striking recklessly. One of his punches could become the final straw, turning a minor injury into a serious one, or even a fatal one.

At that time, "civil" will directly become "criminal".

Or perhaps the other person's injuries were already heading towards "serious injury" or "fatal injury".

What if Bai Lan gets blamed for her actions during the course of her injury?

Considering this, Bai Lan decided to wait until the opponent's injuries healed and their health bar increased before she could feel comfortable attacking them.

In this way, after the final exams, the only people Bai Lan can immediately beat up are Nan Yun and Yonekura's four lawyers.

Five people is not bad either.

Five people~

We couldn't find a single one before, but now five have appeared all at once!

There were actually five people he could beat up without feeling guilty.

Absolutely wonderful!

Thinking of this, Bai Lan almost burst out laughing.

Bai Lan felt happy.

But at this moment.

"what?"

A surprised voice rang out.

Everyone inside the room instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

The person who spoke was Karuizawa.

Everyone saw that Karuizawa was looking at Nagumo, who had just entered through the door, tilting his head and suddenly revealing a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

"Karuizawa, do you know him?" Horikita Suzune, the "first defense lawyer" sitting next to Karuizawa, tugged at Karuizawa's sleeve and asked.

Not only was Horikita Suzune curious about this, but Hirata, Kushida, and even Shirai on the judge's bench subconsciously cast questioning glances at Karuizawa.

Facing Bai Lan's gaze, Karuizawa answered Horikita Suzune's question loudly: "I wouldn't say we know each other. It was just the day before yesterday or the day before that. I bumped into him in the school cafeteria and we chatted for a bit."

At that moment, Nagumo seemed to have just spotted Karuizawa, and waved to her as if he had seen an acquaintance.

Karuizawa nodded subconsciously in return.

After greeting him, Nagumo didn't follow up further or speak to Karuizawa. Instead, he turned and walked towards Horikita Manabu, saying as he went, "Horikita-senpai, this document is due soon, so..."

Judging from his appearance, it seems that he really came here just to see Horikita Manabu.

"You chatted for a few minutes? Was it the day before yesterday or the day before that?" Horikita frowned, sensing something was amiss, and whispered to Karuizawa, "Didn't Shirairan tell us to immediately tell him if anyone came into contact with you? Did you tell him?"

"No, no, that's not how it is." Karuizawa explained, "Isn't what you meant by 'only needing to tell him when someone offers to trade'? Otherwise, with all the people I've met these past few days, am I supposed to tell every single one of them?"

"Is that so? Why do you come into contact with so many people every day?"

"Do you think I'm like you? You friendless bastard!"
