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

Actually not.

Although Bai Lan hit someone, there was a reason for it.

All Bai Lan needs to do is reveal that we, who were beaten by Bai Lan, once plotted to frame Karuizawa in Bai Lan's class, putting him in danger of being expelled from school.

With a little guidance, others will notice that we, who framed Karuizawa and almost got her expelled, have not suffered any punishment under school rules.

As for cleaning toilets in the rice warehouse, that's hardly a punishment; it's like child's play.

After all, we plan to get Karuizawa expelled from school by framing him!

In the end, all others will see is that we, as the perpetrators, escape punishment.

In this way, Bai Lan could claim that she did this to seek justice for her classmates.

As for the 50 million in compensation...

It is indeed unreasonable for them to hold onto the matter after receiving compensation and to seek revenge.

The problem is that my 50 million compensation was paid in installments, and Bai Lan has only received 20 million in compensation so far.

In this way, wouldn't Bai Lan be using all the compensation she received to avoid being expelled from school?

With a little guidance, and after rounding, it becomes—Bai Lan did not receive any compensation!

Since Bai Lan did not receive compensation, and we were not punished, it is perfectly reasonable for Bai Lan to choose revenge.

Then, he went back and briefly mentioned the efforts I had made to exempt Yonekura and the others from punishment...

At that time, many people will feel that although Bai Lan's methods are illegal, they are reasonable.

Sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen-year-old high school students are at the peak of their youthful passion.

Many students actually only follow this approach.

Especially the idiots who were initially assigned to classes C and D.

Therefore, although Bai Lan will lose prestige due to her violation of discipline and removal from her position as a member of the disciplinary committee, the only loss will be in the 'Wangdao Xiang' (the faction of kings) prestige.

However, while he loses prestige in the "benevolent" direction, he will also gain more prestige in the "domineering" direction due to his passionate act of "speaking out against injustice"!

This is definitely a good deal!

The only ones who suffered losses were Horikita Gaku!

The kind of loss that causes massive blood loss!

Although Bai Lan lost 20 million, she could use this incident to eliminate two threats looming over her, clear out the representative figures of the second and third year students, and gain a lot of prestige.

Through his prestige, he won over the second and third graders who had lost their leader in one fell swoop!

Then, using the momentum of the second and third graders, they overwhelmed the first graders...

It's important to understand that power doesn't just flow from top to bottom, but also from bottom to top.

Once Bai Lan successfully wins over three grades, he will become a more powerful figure than the student council president!

Even the student council president has to listen to him!

Thinking about this, Nan Yun felt extremely terrified.

By this time, Bai Lan had already finished speaking.

The arbitration has entered the free debate phase.

"I absolutely cannot give him this opportunity! I absolutely cannot give up my power!" Nan Yun thought to himself.

But how should I refute this?

Got it!

Soon, Nan Yun spoke up: "No! Bai Lan, stop acting! I know that the reason you chose to confess is only because our cooperation was not good enough, which caused you to accidentally hurt us, and you feel guilty about it!"

You're not wrong!

However, as Horikita looked at Bai Lan, he suddenly realized that Bai Lan was also looking at him.

In fact, not long after Horikita Manabu began to imagine it, Bai Lan had already looked at Horikita Manabu.

Bai Lan: Student council president, do something about it!

However, Bai Lan was also unaware that when he looked at Horikita Manabu, he himself became the object of observation in the eyes of others.

160. Nagumo: President, please help!

Hearing Nan Yun twist her "voluntary confession" into "wanting to accept punishment out of guilt," Bai Lan's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but retort, "I wasn't acting with you, and I felt no remorse. I hit you simply because I didn't like you!"

However, Nagumo was convinced that Bai Lan intended to catch all the second and third-year students at once.

In order to protect his power, Nan Yun insisted on his own statement no matter how Bai Lan refuted him, and kept saying things like, "Stop acting! You did nothing wrong!"

Yonekura and the others followed suit, working with Nagumo to "persuade" Bai Lan.

Furthermore, while "persuading" Bai Lan, Nagumo also tried to remind Horikita Manabu to join him in suppressing Bai Lan and thwarting Bai Lan's conspiracy.

He felt that Bai Lan's conspiracy was not only aimed at persecuting him alone, but that another victim, Horikita Manabu, should also contribute.

Therefore, Nagumo turned to Horikita and said:

"President, say something! Don't let Bai cause trouble! You know, he's the disciplinary committee member you personally selected. You even told us in front of us that you would trust him and support him. If he admits to his crimes today, it will have a very negative impact on the student council and on you as the student council president!"

However, Nagumo was destined to be disappointed.

In Horikita Manabu's view, if they were to get Nagumo to "forgive" Bai Lan today, then he, as the student council president, and even the student council and the school would be in a truly "disadvantaged" situation!

On the contrary, as long as Bai Lan is successfully punished, everything will be fine!

With this in mind, Horikita Manabu replied to Nagumo's reminder: "It's no use telling me this. I will handle today's case impartially, because if I cover up misconduct today, that would be detrimental to the student council."

Seeing that Horikita Manabu hadn't "woke up" from his reminder, Nangumo couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Oh dear~ Horikita-senpai, you're really hopeless! I've reminded you this much, and you still haven't realized how much of a threat Bai Lan would pose to us if she were expelled."

Nangumo really wanted to immediately pour all the information he had about Bai Lan's conspiracy into Horikita Manabu's mind, so that he would understand his thoughts.

Unfortunately, what he wanted to say was not something that could be openly discussed in this particular setting.

A gentle reminder is fine, but saying too much might leave yourself open to criticism.

Fortunately, in Nangumo's view, the current situation is very favorable to him.

This was because Nagumo was convinced that "as long as he dropped the charges, he could thwart Shirai's grand conspiracy."

Therefore, Nagumo is now very proactive about dropping the charges, which does not seem like he is "coerced into dropping the charges" at all, but rather seems to be his true intention.

Nan Yun truly meant it; he genuinely didn't want Bai Lan to be expelled from school!

On the contrary, Bai Lan's eagerness to confess seemed somewhat stiff and strange, as if she had come hoping to be punished.

It seems that Bai Lan receives some kind of great reward whenever he is punished.

In comparison, Nagumo's explanation is more in line with current logic.

Look.

Bai Lan felt guilty because he injured others while performing, but got away scot-free. So he chose to plead guilty, thinking that as long as he pleaded guilty and was punished, he would also be "in trouble," and everyone would be in the same boat. This made him feel better.

This sense of relief is the "reward" that Bai Lan can get by accepting the punishment!

Ok.

This makes sense!

With this in mind, Nagumo abandoned his idea of ​​seeking Horikita Manabu's help and prepared to persevere, continuing to reject Shirai Ran's "confession" and maintain this atmosphere.

While Bai Lan stubbornly insisted on her core idea that "I didn't act, I did hit people, I plead guilty, and the reason I hit people was because I didn't like you," she kept refuting the six people from Nan Yun, all the while thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Bai Lan now had a guess about why Nan Yun was so determined to exonerate himself.

It's important to know that being bullied but not daring to report it, or even "protecting" the bully, is actually a very common situation in school bullying.

This is especially common in Japan.

When schools fail to act, the punishments imposed on bullies by the school after the victims complain, in an effort to quell the situation, are utterly ineffective.

Bullies, finding the cost of committing crimes so low, will not stop. They may even retaliate because they feel they have lost face, and then bully the person who reported them even more.

Under this kind of "negative feedback," even the most stubborn person who has been bullied will never dare to complain again after one or two times.

When others saw that the complainants did not get good results, they dared not complain anymore.

Bai Lan realized that the reason Nan Yun dared not report it was probably for this reason.

Yes!

Nan Yun must be worried that the punishment Bai Lan received was not enough to get her expelled from school, and he was afraid of retaliation, so he didn't dare to complain!

The problem is, in Bai Lan's opinion, this school is not the kind of school that would "reluctantly" drop out of students in order to avoid trouble.

In other words, in this school, Nagumo's identification of the bully was not "invalid".

Even if the punishment Bai Lan receives this time is not enough to get him expelled from school, it doesn't really matter, the punishments will accumulate.

Logically speaking, if Bai Lan were identified, Nan Yun would be safer.

After all, once Nan Yun identifies Bai Lan and establishes the punishment, the punishment will accumulate. If Bai Lan dares to continue hitting Nan Yun, the punishment will continue to accumulate until Bai Lan is expelled from school.

If getting a beating doesn't solve the problem, then you can just get a few more beatings.

In particular, Bai Lan's current "life" has been almost completely depleted because of her high-profile fight against six people.

Bai Lan doesn't have many opportunities left to hit people; each time she does, it's one less chance. As time goes on, she'll be less and less willing to make a move, which will naturally make Nan Yun safer.

In fact, it might be more in Nan Yun's interest to have Bai Lan attack him more often.

Because in this way, Bai Lan will be expelled from school soon, and Nan Yun will not have to pay off the remaining debts!

In addition, Nagumo's lost prestige due to Bai Lan's repeated humiliations can be regained by Bai Lan's decision to drop out of school.

It can also drive away a powerful enemy.

However, even so, Nan Yun dared not identify Bai Lan for fear of being retaliated against.

In Bai Lan's view, there was only one reason why Nan Yun did this, and that was—Nan Yun was afraid of getting beaten up!

I'm terrified of it.

To avoid being beaten, he was willing to swallow his anger and even give up a profit of up to 30 million!

"Being beaten a few times can drive a formidable enemy out of the school, save face, and save 30 million. What a wonderful thing!"
