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

Once Bai Lan loses points, the issue of how the class's points will be divided will become a topic of discussion...

It should be noted that this was in accordance with the reward and punishment rules previously established by Bai Lan.

Anyone who causes the class to lose points, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will be punished.

However, the punishment will be based on three factors: the number of points deducted, whether the behavior of the person whose points were deducted violated the rules, and whether the person whose points were deducted intentionally harmed the class. Then, according to the severity of the circumstances, the punishment will be divided into three levels: "minor punishment", "light punishment" and "heavy punishment".

Specifically:

1. Minor penalty: If a student has strictly followed the rules and instructions of the class and has not done anything extra, but still caused the class to lose points, then the student will be subject to a "minor penalty".

Punishment method: The monthly penalty amount is 1% of all losses caused to the class, with a minimum of 2,000 and a maximum of 10,000.

2. Minor punishment: Even if there is no intention to harm the interests of the class, if a mistake is made due to failure to strictly follow the rules and obey instructions, resulting in losses to the class, a 'minor punishment' will be imposed.

Punishment: Bear 20% of the losses caused to the class.

2. Severe punishment: Knowing that their behavior is harming the interests of the class, but still doing it, ultimately causing losses to the class.

Punishment: Bear 200% of the losses caused to the class! Minimum: 20, Maximum: Unlimited!

Bai Lan's act of hitting someone clearly violated school rules and did not follow class instructions, thus it did not qualify for "minor punishment".

That is, a light or heavy penalty.

The distinction between the two lies in whether Bai Lan intended to harm the interests of the class when she committed the act of hitting someone!

In Chi's view, once he can insist that Bai Lan was only "acting out of anger for a woman", he can set Bai Lan's punishment as "severe"!

After all, everyone knows that anyone who participates in assault or fighting, regardless of their motives, will be punished.

Points will be deducted if you are penalized.

Once points are deducted, the class's interests will inevitably be harmed.

It's something everyone already knows.

Because it is common knowledge.

Therefore, Bai Lan could not forcefully explain that he did not "know that his behavior was harming the interests of the class".

Despite knowing that her actions would harm the interests of the class, Bai Lan still did it.

If Bai Lan did this with the idea of ​​"deterring the enemy and protecting the class".

Therefore, the claim that "Bai Lan had the intention to deliberately harm the interests of the class" would not hold true.

In this case, Bai Lan will at most receive a "light punishment".

But what if Bai Lan's actions weren't motivated by a desire to contribute to the class, but simply by a desire to vent her anger for her girlfriend?

That must be a "severe punishment"!

As can be seen from the rules, the difference between minor and severe penalties is significant!

A minor punishment only requires the perpetrator to bear 20% of the losses caused to the class.

The severe punishment will result in the student bearing 200% of the damages caused to the class! And the minimum is 20, while the maximum is unlimited!

The latter's punishment is at least ten times that of the former!

These penalty points will be used to compensate other students in the class.

In other words, if Bai Lan is severely punished, for every 10 points the class loses because of him, Bai Lan will have to give each student in the class 2,000 points every month.

After deducting the 1,000 points lost due to the point deduction, everyone in the class except Bai Lan will gain 1,000 points in return!

Even if it's just a thousand points, it's still a decent income increase for Chi, who only has a little over 20,000 points after paying fines and Bai Lan's share each month.

Yes, although the class received over a hundred extra points because of the midterm exam, Chi's grades were so poor that he couldn't contribute anything to the midterm exam. Instead, others had to sacrifice their own rights so that he could pass. Therefore, he didn't get any share of those extra points, but his living expenses only increased by a little over a thousand.

Therefore, Chi even wished that the class would lose more points because of Bai Lan's beating.

It would be best to deduct 100 points.

In his view, losing 100 points out of 700 doesn't seem to matter much; it's insignificant.

But his monthly income increased by half!

As for class competition and such.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time.

Chi felt there was a high chance of success.

After all, hitting someone is no small offense, no matter which school you go to; it will definitely result in a lot of points being deducted.

With this in mind, and faced with the enormous profits, Chi felt "overwhelmed with pride" and made up his mind—today he would definitely stick to the story between Bai Lan and Qing Jingze!

174. The thoughts of all parties

Chi thought his plan was brilliant.

Driven by jealousy, revenge, and tangible personal gain, Chi immediately began fabricating a story about the relationship between Bai Lan and Karuizawa, taking out his phone and pressing the shutter button on Karuizawa, who was waiting outside Bai Lan's room...

At first, Chi felt that his plan was going quite well.

In addition, Chi does have some eloquence, but his eloquence is somewhat "unconventional" and cannot be used to calm people's hearts or boost morale, but he is good at spreading rumors and intensifying conflicts.

Moreover, he also understands the preferences of the "majority" of underachievers in the class very well, and knows what topics they like to follow the most.

Thanks to Chi's efforts, more and more students, out of curiosity and boredom during their holidays, came to participate in this "offline follow-up" after seeing the "incomplete chapters" in the group.

Guided by Chi's words, many boys who, like him, had been "suffering for Bai Lan for a long time" all wanted Bai Lan to find a partner as soon as possible, so that the girls would stop staring at Bai Lan and "change their minds" and look at them more.

What's more, the guy they're arranging for Bai Lan to find a boyfriend is Karuizawa.

If Bai Lan's partner is...

Karuizawa is beautiful, but unfortunately she has a mouth.

Karuizawa's appearance is very cute, making her very popular with the boys in her class. Some boys even secretly ranked her second in the "Most Beautiful Face of the Class" poll, second only to Hori.

However, Karuizawa's outspokenness and tendency to pick fights made all the boys in the class keep their distance.

When it came to the poll for "the girl I most want to be my girlfriend," Karuizawa fell to the bottom, only slightly better than her two friends from the Gyaru group, and even Horikita ranked several places higher than her.

Although Horikita is not likable and has a sharp tongue, at least she doesn't meddle in other people's business, and she is very strong in academics and sports, with impressive stats.

Karuizawa is good for nothing but talking...

As an aside, Kushida ranked third on the "Most Beautiful Faces of All the Girls in the Class" list.

However, in the "Sexiest Girls in the Class Ranking," Kushida was number one, while Horikita and Karuizawa didn't even make the top three...

In short, it's clear how much the boys in the class disliked Karuizawa.

Therefore, they subconsciously felt that if Bai Lan and Karuizawa, these two "scourges," could "perish together," it would be a good thing.

If Bai Lan gets a girlfriend, the other girls will give up, and then they will have a chance.

If Karuizawa had a boyfriend, she would probably be more gentle and considerate in front of him, and out of concern that he might get jealous, she probably wouldn't always like to come and argue with that group of guys. That way, they could have a better life.

In short, in their view, it would be a great thing if Bai Lan and Karuizawa were to be successfully paired up.

However, they only thought about the good things and didn't consider what would happen if Bai Lan really became Karuizawa's boyfriend and her support.

At that time, Karuizawa's affairs will become Shirai's affairs. If they oppose Karuizawa, they will be opposing Shirai. If they continue to oppose Karuizawa, will they still have a good life?

Yes, they didn't think of that.

They only think about girls.

For the sake of the girls, and to ensure that the two enemies, Bai Lan and Karuizawa, would "perish together," many boys joined in to help.

As for the girls...

The girls who had feelings for Bai Lan certainly didn't want to admit that there was an ambiguous relationship between Karuizawa and Bai Lan.

However, they were also unwilling to help Karuizawa, their "love rival."

If Karuizawa accepts Ike's explanation and readily admits to his relationship with Shirai, the girls will likely confront Ike and Karuizawa, denying the claim that "Shirai and Karuizawa have an ambiguous relationship."

However, the problem is that Karuizawa did not do so; she denied Ike's claims and firmly denied any ambiguous relationship between her and Shirai.

As a result, although the girls were also unwilling to accept Chi's statement, they ultimately chose to remain silent and not help their rivals because they did not want to help them.

Even Karuizawa's two friends, who were also in the same "Gyaru-gumi" group, didn't help her.

Karuizawa's two glamorous female companions are named Sato Saya and Matsushita Chiaki.

However, the reason they didn't help Karuizawa wasn't because of their rivalry.

Although Sato, one of the two friends, did have some feelings for Shirai, these little "feelings" were far less important than the feelings between them.

The main reason they didn't help Karuizawa was because they were worried they would make things worse.

Because they had spent a lot of time with Karuizawa, they had some understanding of her personality.

How would you describe Karuizawa's performance since enrolling?

Karuizawa always talks a big game, but she never actually does anything outrageous. Apart from her words and studies, she can be considered a "good student" in other aspects!

For example, during the first month of discipline inspection after enrollment, Karuizawa was the only one in the gyaru group who did not lose any points.

For example, Karuizawa is willing to cooperate with the class to carry out "anti-bullying teaching"? As we all know, "anti-bullying" is used to fight against bad students. Who would teach others how to fight against themselves?

Therefore, Karuizawa's anti-bullying stance equals Karuizawa being a good student.

Yes, at least that's how it is in terms of behavior.

In addition, they discovered that when they went shopping together, Karuizawa's eyes would light up when she saw cute dolls or pretty desserts, but when asked if she wanted to buy them, Karuizawa would always say things like "childish" or "too weak" and deny it outright.

In the end, it was often Sato and Matsushita who used various excuses to "forcefully drag" and beg Karuizawa, and Karuizawa would then "half-heartedly" buy the doll and dessert with a look of disgust.

Thus, Sato and Matsushita privately concluded one thing—Karuizawa was a stubborn person with a soft heart, and the more she cared about something, the more she said one thing and did another. (Actually, her denial of liking dolls and sweets was because Karuizawa was afraid others would discover her inner weakness, and she was half-heartedly unwilling to refuse the requests from the "fierce" gyaru girls.)

With her cute appearance, Karuizawa seemed to them just like the tsundere character in a school romance comedy.

If we apply the premise that "Karuizawa is a tsundere" to the current situation...

Known: Karuizawa is a tsundere. The characteristics of a tsundere are: when faced with something they care about, they will act differently than they mean.

The current situation is as follows: Karuizawa vehemently denies having any ambiguous relationship with Shirai, and even blushes while speaking.

Question: Based on the above information, does Karuizawa actually want to deny his romantic relationship with Shirai?

Sato and Matsushita's answer was: No!
