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

Once the penalty is announced, if there are no objections, you can choose to accept the penalty and then execute it immediately.

If you disagree with the penalty, you can choose to appeal.

Arbitration will only be convened if there is disagreement with the penalty result and an appeal is filed!

In other words, all I have to do is select 'Accept Punishment' and that's it!

You can just grab your bag and leave!

Why is it that when we got to Karuizawa, they offered a 'speedrun' option, but when it came to me, they didn't give me any choice at all and just called an arbitration meeting?

Bai Lan was completely baffled, feeling that her plan to drop out of school had inexplicably been disrupted.

"What exactly happened?" Bai Lan pondered, glancing at the time and location of the arbitration meeting shown in the email.

He realized that the arbitration meeting was scheduled to start at 10:30, but it was only 9:50 now, so there was still more than half an hour to go.

Curiosity made Bai Lan's heart itch, so she couldn't help but put down her luggage, take out her phone, and use her disciplinary committee member privileges to look up the procedures for the student council's arbitration meeting.

After reading it, Bai Lan understood what was going on.

The Karuizawa procedure is for situations where the school hasn't discovered the problem yet, and "the victim is the first to feel unable to bear it" or initiates a report.

Bai Lan's procedure is only used when the victim has not yet had time to report the incident, or when someone other than the person involved, or the school, is the first to become upset and initiates an investigation.

In other words, before Nan Yun, Yonekura, and others, who were beaten by Bai Lan, filed their complaints, someone had already investigated the matter earlier than they had.

It is important to know that in the laws of many countries around the world, the same case can lead to different final judgments.

Among these factors, the victim's attitude has a significant impact on the severity of the offender's sentence.

If the victim expresses "forgiveness" towards the perpetrator, the sentencing may be reduced, or even the perpetrator may be acquitted.

Conversely, if the victim expresses deep concern about the perpetrator's crime, has no possibility of forgiveness, or even demands that the perpetrator "die," the adjudicating body will consider appropriately increasing the punishment.

In addition, in the laws of some countries, even the opinions of a "public jury" that have nothing to do with the case can become the basis for sentencing, and in some cases, the jury may even take the initiative to "forgive" the defendant on behalf of the plaintiff.

There have even been absurd cases where murderers were acquitted simply because the public jury thought, "He's so handsome, he can't be a bad person," leading the judge to ignore the victim's family's devastating grief.

This is a bit off topic.

In short, it means that the person who initiated the lawsuit was not a party to the case.

Therefore, with the attitude of the person involved unclear, the school could not determine the severity of the sentence and thus did not provide a punishment result, but directly asked Bai Lan to choose whether to accept it.

Therefore, the process skipped this step and went directly to the "arbitration committee" stage, where the matter was brought to court.

After seeing this, Bai Lan pounded the floor and muttered to herself in frustration, "I really regret it so much. If I had known, I should have found a secluded place to beat up the first person, giving him a chance to report me first. After he reported me, I could have finished off the rest of the damage."

Instead of waiting for things to escalate and for someone other than the parties involved to report it first, which would force me to attend some kind of arbitration meeting.

This made my plan to drop out of school go through many twists and turns.

Although she found it a bit troublesome, Bai Lan would not give up this opportunity to drop out of school.

After quickly packing her luggage, Bai Lan fell backward and lay on the ground, rolling around on the floor.

Just as the arbitration hearing was about to begin, Bai Lan, who had rolled to the edge of the balcony, suddenly got up and then jumped off the balcony.

He intends to make up for his previous regrets.

Afterwards, he climbed down the balcony, using the balcony and the air conditioner unit as footholds, and quickly scrambled down the stairs...

When Bai Lan arrived at the special classroom and found her seat, the timing was perfect.

As for the others, they had already arrived long ago.

Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane are on the judge's bench.

Facing Bai Lan were the six Nan Yun members who had just been beaten by him not long ago, their faces bruised and swollen, and they needed help to walk.

"Time's up! Everyone's here! Arbitration begins!"

158,

"Time's up! Everyone's here! Arbitration begins!"

Akane Tachibana was once again in charge of presiding over the arbitration meeting.

"Because according to the statements of multiple reports and the content of the surveillance footage, Nan Yunya was the victim, while Bai Lan was the perpetrator."

Therefore, Nan Yunya and her group of six spoke first, followed by Bai Lan.

"Now, please let Nan Yunya speak."

Soon, Nagumo stood up.

Bai Lan was prepared; if Nan Yun dared to make him drop out of school, he would accept.

Thinking of this, Bai Lan looked at Nan Yun with anticipation.

Nan Yun noticed Bai Lan's gaze.

Seeing Bai Lan's confident gaze, Nan Yun became even more certain of his guess, and the last shred of hope in his heart completely vanished.

Soon, Nagumo spoke.

"Bai Lan has never hit us! It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!" Nan Yun said apologetically with a forced smile.

Bai Lan: ?!

Bai Lan was stunned the moment Nan Yun opened his mouth.

However, Bai Lan wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded.

Even Horikita Manabu was dumbfounded.

At that moment, both Bai Lan and Horikita Manabu thought in unison, "What's going on? Why isn't Nagumo following the expected pattern?"

158. Nagumo Masaru's tales are full of ghost stories; Horikita Manabu's thoughts upon closer examination are terrifying.

Nagumo's words, "It's all a misunderstanding," completely disrupted Bai Lan and Horikita Manabu's train of thought.

After hearing Nan Yun's words, Bai Lan was very puzzled and dissatisfied with Nan Yun's behavior, thinking: "What is Nan Yun doing? Why can't you just honestly accuse me? If you dare to make accusations, I dare to click 'surrender' on the spot!"

Horikita Manabu was equally perplexed.

According to Horikita Manabu's plan, as long as Nagumo identifies Bai Lan, he can smoothly go through the process of issuing a "dismissal" punishment to Bai Lan, and then Bai Lan will spend 20 million to get rid of the punishment.

Afterwards, Horikita Manabu only needs to manipulate the situation slightly, fanning the flames and spreading the grudge between Shirai and Nagumo, and then, based on his own interpretation of Shirai's actions, guide public opinion...

Although, in Horikita Manabu's view, even if he didn't participate, Bai Lan's ultimate goal would still be achieved.

This is an inevitable trend!

But this will take longer.

However, if he, as the student council president, were to take action personally, everyone would more quickly "understand" the meaning behind Bai Lan's actions.

In this way, those who like to exploit loopholes in school rules, like Nan Yun, will be deterred by Bai Lan.

Those law-abiding students will feel at ease because of Bai Lan, the disciplinary committee member who has a strong sense of justice and is better at using the rules, and will be even less likely to break the rules, lest they fall into Bai Lan's hands.

The school's discipline will be improved to its best in the shortest possible time.

In addition, the school can also conveniently reclaim the huge amount of points that Bai Lan had accumulated by disrupting the competitive environment.

However, Nagumo's unexpected actions have introduced huge variables into Horikita Manabu's plans!

At this point, Nan Yun continued his presentation, but due to a lack of preparation time, his hastily prepared statement was not logically sound, and even somewhat absurd...

"Yes! It's all a misunderstanding."

We were actually acting.

As for why we're putting on a show, it's almost Children's Day, and we're giving the kids a gift. Kids love watching these kinds of lively, action-packed shows.

Look, Bai is always leaping across rooftops and scaling walls, whether he's appearing, leaving, or traveling. His fighting moves are swift and clean, it's so impressive!

Isn't it more exciting than those in leather suits?

Some people will definitely ask, "The school is under closed management, so even if we film our program, we can't send it out."

Actually, when I say "children", I mean the students at our school. They are all minors, still children. What's wrong with celebrating Children's Day?

This was actually a 'flash mob' event.

Do you know what a flash mob is?

The performance was the kind that started suddenly and ended very quickly.

I know that June 1st has passed, today is June 2nd.

The main problem is that the rehearsal time wasn't arranged properly.

Action scenes are very difficult!

Especially action scenes like this, which are filmed in one take and have such high difficulty levels.

It's easy to get injured if you're not careful, and it's difficult to coordinate, so we rehearsed for a long time.

That's why we were able to put on the performance only today.

Even so, we still didn't do well enough, which led to some problems with coordination.

Bai's movements were very good, but we didn't coordinate well, which resulted in us accidentally bumping into Bai's fists and feet with our bodies, causing us to get a little injured.

It's all our own fault, not Bai's!

Fortunately, Bai managed to control her strength in time. Although it looked terrible to us, she was actually not seriously injured, hahaha…”

This concludes Nagumo's nonsensical "clarification."

Then, the other people who had been beaten followed suit, standing up one by one in order to speak.

After all, Nagumo was not the only victim, and Nagumo could not, at least procedurally, "forgive" Bai Lan on behalf of everyone.

It seems that Nagumo had given prior instructions to Yonekura and the others, which is why they all strongly denied that Bai Lan had beaten them, claiming that "it was all a misunderstanding and there was no such thing."

However, the others' statements were far less fluent than Nanyun's. They spoke haltingly, and what they said in two or three sentences was not as clear as what Nanyun said in one sentence. Their meaning was vague and unclear. Often, after saying a sentence, they felt that they had not expressed their meaning well, so they would change their words and repeat themselves over and over again.

If the emotion isn't enough, just add more words.

Horikita Manabu couldn't hear a word of what the people behind Nagumo were saying; he began to ponder Nagumo's reasons for doing so.

Horikita Manabu didn't think Nagumo would do something like "repaying evil with kindness."

Horikita Manabu has a clear understanding of what kind of person Nagumo is based on his behavior over the past year—Nagumo is petty!
