The specific process is actually quite uninteresting.

All Horikita Suzune had to do was present the evidence that Shirai had sent her one by one and explain the meaning behind it.

For example, explaining the meaning of a news broadcast playing in the corner of a photo or video.

During this time, Yonekura and his team tried to argue, but any argument was powerless in the face of irrefutable evidence. Horikita didn't even need to think about any countermeasures; he just needed to take the opportunity to bring out the next piece of evidence and make the "facts" even more solid.

It's something that anyone with eyes can understand; there's no need to say more.

Even if Yonekura and the others are really not smart enough to understand or read, it doesn't matter. As long as Horikita, who will decide the final arbitration result, understands it, that's enough.

More than arguing, Yonekura and the others were filled with fear, and couldn't help but cast hopeful glances at their backer—Nagumo. However, they were quickly glared at by Nagumo's grim face, and then, remembering that they couldn't reveal that they were instructed by Nagumo, they quickly looked away.

Therefore, faced with irrefutable evidence, there's nothing more to say.

Seriously, it's like playing a game with cheat codes.

Means nothing.

It's so boring, okay?

At least that's what Bai Lan thinks.

Compared to watching Horikita Suzune's performance, Bai Lan felt that Nagumo's performance was more interesting.

When Horikita Suzune first started speaking, Nagumo still had the sunny, gentle, and kind senior look on his face. However, as Horikita Suzune gradually presented and explained the evidence in her hands, Nagumo's smile, though still present, became increasingly hardened, and the sunshine in his smile grew dimmer.

Although Nagumo tried hard to hide his true emotions, Bai Lan's keen observation saw through his disguise.

Observing the other person's emotional changes, and the eye contact between the other person and Yonekura.

Bai Lan was now completely certain: it was all Nan Yun's doing behind the scenes.

This beating is definitely in order; it'll happen after the midterm exams...

Wait for death!

Soon, Horikita presented all the evidence in his hands and, based on this evidence, completely turned the tables.

The truth has come to light.

"Therefore, Karuizawa did not bully Yonekura, nor did she overreact."

Yonekura was actually the one who wanted to bully his classmates through violence.

Afterwards, having been beaten up instead of bullied, she fabricated injuries to frame Karuizawa, attempting to persecute him again.

That's the truth.

We hope the student council president can uphold justice for Karuizawa from our class.

Also.

Karuizawa was suspended from school for seven days simply for the crime of 'bullying classmates'.

Yonekura not only tried to bully her classmates with force, although she failed... she then framed her classmates and explicitly stated that she wanted to expel Karuizawa from school by framing them.

In other words, they came here with the intention of getting Karuizawa expelled from school.

Therefore, we absolutely will not accept any punishment that Yonekura receives that is less severe than expulsion!

As Horikita Suzune spoke, she pondered what Shirai would say.

correct!

Bai Lan likes to "use his power to intimidate others" and often speaks of "collective interests," making it difficult for others to refute him from a "personal" standpoint.

So how can we apply this here?

Got it!

Then, Horikita Suzune continued, "Finally, there's one more thing!"

In my view, and also in terms of the public's perception of 'school rules', school rules and regulations should be used to protect students from persecution and to maintain the campus learning environment.

The results of it?

They actually attempted to use what the school was supposed to be used to protect students to persecute them.

If we hadn't been lucky enough to have the evidence, the school rules that should have been protected would have become accomplices of these people! Their behavior is more than just tarnishing the school's reputation.

This is practically trampling on the school!

For some reason, I have longed to attend this school for a long time.

I am proud and delighted to have been admitted to this school, and I hope to graduate successfully from here.

The school's reputation has been damaged, and I feel that my 'aspirations' have been severely devalued. I simply cannot….

Horikita Suzune imitated Bai Lan, following Bai Lan's train of thought. As she spoke, she became completely immersed in the conversation, growing more and more indignant. Her boiling blood made her cheeks flush with excitement.

Horikita Manabu clearly understood what Horikita Suzune meant by "certain reasons".

Horikita Manabu felt deeply troubled by the "heavy" place he held in his younger sister's heart, but he was also somewhat relieved that Horikita Suzune "seemed to have changed a bit."

Before Horikita could think further, he noticed that Horikita Suzune's emotions were starting to get out of control, so he quickly said, "Alright, no need to say anything, I know what to do."

Rest assured, the student council will handle this matter impartially and provide a satisfactory outcome for the victims and the school.

"Then, I'll leave it to you!" Horikita Suzune bowed to Horikita Manabu.

Horikita Suzune's actions greatly shocked Karuizawa, Kushida, and Hirata.

This was the first time they had ever seen Horikita Suzune treat someone with such respect.

Even though they already knew that Horikita Manabu was Horikita Suzune's older brother.

Yes, Karuizawa and the others knew about the relationship between Horikita Suzune and Horikita Manabu, and that they were siblings.

After all, once people discover that two people share the same surname, they will inevitably ask questions.

Horikita Suzune didn't want to hide this matter and affect the trust between team members, so she admitted it.

Even so, they were still shocked.

Although they knew the two were siblings, they were unclear about their relationship dynamics.

In their eyes, Horikita Suzune always had that aloof and arrogant demeanor, even in front of her own brother.

In reality, they didn't know that Horikita Suzune was maintaining a tough stance because she didn't want to embarrass her brother and wanted to impress him. If no one else was around, Horikita Suzune probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Horikita Suzune bowed mainly because she thought her brother was annoyed with her and that Horikita Manabu had suddenly interrupted her. She also knew that her comeback wasn't due to her own ability, yet she was speaking so eloquently...

Therefore, Horikita Suzune felt a little guilty and then couldn't help but suddenly back down.

In short, Karuizawa and the other two subconsciously assumed that Horikita Suzune would not bow down even to her own brother.

Now, Horikita Suzune has actually bowed her head for the first time because of this!

This led the three of them, Karuizawa, to the same conclusion: Horikita seems to be a pretty good guy after all.

Karuizawa was the most moved: Horikita actually bowed his head for me, I cried my eyes out.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Horikita asked Yonekura.

Yonekura stammered for a long time before being unable to speak, then subconsciously cast a pleading look at Nagumo again.

In a life-or-death situation, Yonekura, in order to ask Nagumo for help and to convey her thoughts, failed to properly conceal her intentions when exchanging glances.

This time, not only Bai Lan, but even Horikita Karuizawa could vaguely sense that there was a problem between Yonekura and Nagumo.

Seeing the suspicious looks from Karuizawa and the others, Nangumo thought to himself, "This is bad!"

Nagumo then attempted to salvage the situation.

How can we remedy this?

An idea gradually took shape in his mind...

However, before Nagumo's idea could fully take shape...

At this moment, Bai Lan suddenly spoke up: "Vice President Nan Yun, it seems that Mi Cang and the others have something to say to you in private. Should we leave?"

Because of Bai Lan's question, Nan Yun had to stop thinking and immediately reply with the solution that was not yet perfected in his mind.

Soon, Nagumo smiled brightly and said kindly, "I can probably guess what Yonekura and the others want to tell me."

"Oh? What are they trying to say?" Bai Lan flattered.

Nagumo: "They probably think I'm kind-hearted, right? After all, I wanted to 'mediate' for Karuizawa, whose situation was not good. Now, the situation has reversed, and Yonekura is the one in a bad position."

As you probably know, I owe my success today entirely to the support of everyone in the second year.

Now, someone in the second grade has run into trouble. Although it's true that Mikura and the others are in the wrong, it's still my duty to help them mediate.

After all, before this, I had also thought highly of Karuizawa and planned to help her make peace.

We're all classmates, let's be understanding and more forgiving of each other!

Nagumo did not want Yonekura to be severely punished.

After all, Mi Cang was someone he had sent to do things, so he had to find a way to protect her; otherwise, it would be difficult for him to get others to do things for him in the future.

Even if it's impossible to completely save the case, at least the punishment can be mitigated as much as possible, and compensation can be provided to the victim through other means afterward.

With this in mind, Nagumo continued to defend Yonekura and the others: "We're still young, it's normal to make mistakes. It's great that we can correct our mistakes, don't stop a prodigal son from turning over a new leaf..."

"Vice President Nan Yun, may I interrupt for a moment?"

At this moment, Horikita Suzune stood up again and said, "First of all, we did not accept your help before, and secondly... talk! We can talk! Wanting to negotiate is no problem..."

Horikita Suzune was halfway through her sentence when the tone suddenly changed.

Because she suddenly received an email from Bai Lan.

In the email, Bai Lan asked Horikita Suzune to accept "peace talks".

Since Bai Lan had given instructions, Horikita Suzune naturally couldn't continue to act freely.

With the task assigned by Bai Lan in mind, Horikita Suzune continued, "Want to negotiate? No problem. I'll name my price: forty million!"

133. Bai Lan makes her move! From 40 million to 50 million! From school rules to criminal law!

"Forty million?"

Upon hearing the peace terms offered by Horikita Suzune, the people on Yonekura's side immediately changed their minds.

"The worst punishment Yonekura will receive is expulsion, and waiving expulsion only costs 20 million! You dare to ask for 40 million?"
