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

Ignoring Karuizawa's words, Horikita continued, "What were you all talking about?"

Upon hearing Horikita Suzune's question, Karuizawa opened her mouth, but the usually arrogant and confident girl showed an unusually shy expression and replied softly, "No, nothing."

After saying that, she carefully glanced at Bai Lan with her eyes.

The more Karuizawa acted this way, the more uneasy Horikita Suzune felt.

Horikita Suzune quickly pressed, "Karuizawa, answer me properly! This is crucial to the outcome of your expulsion!"

Seeing how serious Horikita Suzune was, and with Shirai also asking her to cooperate with Horikita Suzune and the others, Karuizawa obediently replied, "Oh~ it's just about boys and girls! I'm so pretty, isn't it normal for a few boys to hit on me?"

I shouldn't talk about this kind of thing myself; it would seem like self-praise. It's not something I should say myself!

“I don’t think it’s just a simple flirting attempt, especially since it happened at this time…” Horikita Suzune shook her head and said, “Tell me in detail about your interactions with him, try not to miss any details, and hurry! We have to find a way to turn things around before that guy finishes talking to the student council president!”

Karuizawa wants to say: Actually, you don't need to work so hard. With Shiro as your backup, you can just win without lifting a finger.

However, Bai Lan forbade her from telling anyone about these things.

"This is a secret between me and Shiro." Karuizawa thought to himself with a touch of smug satisfaction.

Besides, this incident gave her a rare sense of superiority, as if she had some kind of foresight, in front of a top student like Horikita Suzune.

With mixed feelings, Karuizawa told Horikita Suzune about her experience with Nagumo, while typing on her phone as she spoke.

Karuizawa didn't know why Horikita cared so much about this, but she knew that since Horikita, as Shirai's "representative," was so concerned about it, Shirai would probably care too.

To demonstrate his loyalty, Karuizawa planned to explain to Horikita Suzune verbally while simultaneously communicating with Shirai on his phone.

"The day before yesterday or yesterday, that noon..."

That noon, I went to the cafeteria to line up for lunch.

When it was almost my turn, I reached for my student ID to pay, preparing in advance.

However, after I rummaged through my pockets, I discovered that my student ID was missing.

Fortunately, I had only just started looking when I turned around and saw a very familiar card about seven or eight meters behind me. The highly recognizable golden high ponytail on the card was very eye-catching, and I thought it was very likely my student ID.

I quickly ran over and picked up the card.

Sure enough, it was my student ID.

I was overjoyed when I found my things so quickly after they were lost.

But what was that idiom again? Something about misfortune or fortune... or something like "the old man on the frontier."

"Misfortune and fortune are intertwined? The old man lost his horse? No, in context it should be 'The old man gained a horse'," Horikita Suzune chimed in.

"Anyway, that's pretty much the gist of it, right?" Karuizawa waved his hand, indicating that the academically challenged student was too lazy to dwell on literary matters, and continued, "I was happy for only a short while before something unpleasant happened."

After retrieving my student ID, I excitedly returned to the queue.

But when I returned to my previous position, I suddenly felt a pushing force.

The people behind me wanted to push me out of the group.

"Hey! Don't cut in line!" The person who pushed me was a girl, and she yelled at me like that.

Then I explained to her, "This is my spot! I was here before; I just realized I'd dropped my student ID and went back to pick it up! I've been standing in front of you for so long, don't you remember me at all?"

However, she wouldn't listen, insisting that she hadn't seen me before and didn't remember me, and just shouted loudly for me to "get out of the way" and "not cut in line."

The girl's loud shouts drew the attention of everyone around.

Then, everyone assumed I cut in line.

I'm furious!

How could I possibly swallow this insult? I'm not leaving!

She framed me, and I can't stand this injustice!

She was still pushing me.

But what level am I at?

This weakling can't even budge me...

Karuizawa tried hard to maintain his persona in front of Horikita Suzune, spouting arrogant and cool talk, but the version he wrote on his phone for Bai Lan to see was: "Bai-kun, I'm so scared..."

At the time, Karuizawa outwardly pretended to be strong, but inwardly she felt very wronged and afraid.

At first, Karuizawa also considered giving up and leaving, and queuing up again.

After all, the girl behind her was a complete stranger to her; they would probably turn around and fight and then forget each other.

Although she backed down today, as long as those who know her don't know her vulnerable side, that's enough.

However, the girl's sudden loud shouting drew the attention of everyone around.

Karuizawa noticed that some of the people looking over looked familiar; they seemed to be first-year students.

This immediately put Karuizawa in an awkward position.

In the presence of potential acquaintances, she dared not abandon her tough facade and reveal her vulnerability.

Therefore, Karuizawa chose to confront them head-on.

"Get to the point! There's no time!" Horikita Suzune tapped the table, reminding them.

"Alright, alright!" Karuizawa pouted and then said, "In the end, I was at a stalemate with that girl, and just then, that upperclassman appeared."

Karuizawa pointed to Nagumo, who was discussing something with Horikita Manabu, and said, "That senior said that he is the vice president of the student council and he can testify for me. I noticed earlier that I was indeed queuing in that spot, but I just ran out to pick something up."

"And then? They believed it?" Horikita Suzune asked.

"I'm certain now."

"What makes him think he can prove it?" Horikita Suzune asked, puzzled.

"Of course there's a reason."

"what reason?"

"The reason is..." Karuizawa hesitated again at this point: "Didn't I say before that it was about striking up a conversation or something?"

"say clearly!"

Karuizawa sighed, then said in a defiant tone, "He said he thinks I'm cute and that I'm his type, so he's been keeping an eye on me since early on, and he even took a picture of me while I was queuing!"

Because the photo information includes the 'shooting time', once the photo is released, checking the shooting time directly confirms that I was indeed ahead of that girl in line.

Ugh! It's so embarrassing to have to talk about my own experience of being hit on!

“No!” Horikita shook his head.

"What's wrong?"

"It shouldn't be just like that. Are you sure your interactions with him are limited to this? Nothing more?"

"what else....."

"Is this important?"

“Okay, let me think… Oh! I've got it! He said he….”

"He what?"

He said he hoped to be friends with me next time we met.

"that's it?"

"That's how it was. Then it was just my turn to get my food, and after that we parted ways."

......

"The day before yesterday or yesterday."

That noon.

.......

That's it.

After Karuizawa finished explaining the whole process of her contact with Nagumo to Horikita Suzune, the story of "the strong and glamorous Karuizawa".

Immediately afterwards, Bai Lan also finished reading the version of "the underdog character, Xiao Hui-san" that Karuizawa had sent him.

After reading Karuizawa's email, Bai Lan glanced at Nangumo, who was learning to speak from Horikita.

At this point, the work between Nagumo and Horikita Manabu was nearing its end.

At that moment, Nagumo, who was talking about work, suddenly spoke in a casual tone, as if chatting about everyday things, and said, "Horikita-senpai, are you having an arbitration meeting?"

“Yes,” Horikita Manabu replied casually.

"Has Karuizawa gotten into some misunderstanding with someone again?" Nagumo asked.

Nagumo expressed a "question," but the question itself conveyed a great deal.

At this point, considering Nagumo's actions since entering the room and the information sent by Karuizawa, things have come to this point.

Bai Lan felt she had roughly figured out Nan Yun's purpose in doing all this...

Does killing someone begin with destroying their spirit?

130. Despite Nan Yun's elaborate schemes, Bai Lan swiftly swiftly ensnared him.

Nan Yun wants to take revenge on Bai Lan.

But I'm also afraid of getting beaten up.

In Nan Yun's opinion, if Bai Lan knew that he was the one who caused her to drop out of school, Bai Lan would definitely take revenge on him before leaving the school.

This retaliation will most likely involve punching someone to death.

Nagumo was self-aware; although he had top-notch physical abilities, he was an athletic type, not a combat type.

Even a fighting expert like Horikita Manabu was easily beaten by Bai Lan. If Bai Lan came after him, he would have to stay in the hospital for at least a few months.

If it were just a beating, Nagumo wouldn't find it unacceptable.

What Nagumo couldn't accept was the consequences after he was beaten.

Even if the school arranges a special make-up exam for him, allowing him to take the exam in the hospital, by the time he returns from the hospital, the second-year students will probably have already broken free from his control. Moreover, in order to avoid being controlled again, the entire second-year students will unite to find ways to fight against him before he regains control of his power, and may even expel him from the school.
