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

If Bai Lan finds out about this, will he doubt my loyalty to him?

Don’t do this!

No, I must express my stance and show my unwavering loyalty to Bai Lan.

Since that bastard Chi has already gained the upper hand, I must win back in other ways!

Didn't he suggest a 'light penalty'? If I want to beat him, I have to be even lighter than a 'light penalty'—a 'slight penalty'? No! No penalty at all!

At worst, we can just let go of this opportunity to defend Bai Lan for now, since this meeting will go through this process several more times anyway.

The most important thing is to state your position first!

Let's skip this round for now; it's not a big problem.

The worst thing would be if Bai Lan doubted my loyalty, became estranged from me, and stopped teaching me and protecting me!

Thinking of this, Karuizawa quickly typed out those "suggestions not to be punished," and the reason was the same as what Ike thought. She wrote them down on a whim, and they were her most genuine thoughts without any embellishment.

She truly felt that, regardless of Bai Lan's true intentions, judging solely from the outcome, Bai Lan had indeed stood up for her when she was bullied and protected her as a classmate, which was undeniable!

Even if it violates school rules!

She even felt that if she had met a classmate like Bai Lan earlier, she wouldn't have had those tragic and terrifying experiences that almost cost her her life.

"Oh, right, Karuizawa seemed to have said something about 'righteousness' and that he would stand with Shirai at the door of her room."

Great! I'll stir things up a bit and get her to share the fine with Bai Lan.

Bai Lan will be severely punished.

50 points, a 200% penalty, which means that Bai Lan has to compensate everyone in the class with 10,000 points every month. If Karuizawa wants to "stand with Bai Lan," then Karuizawa has to be responsible for 5,000 points.

There are 40 students in the class. Excluding the two who have to pay compensation, there are 38 students who need to pay compensation.

Five thousand per person equals 19!

In other words, if Karuizawa wants to stand with Shirai, he has to pay 19 yen every month!

Haha! How is Karuizawa going to come up with these points? By relying on sponsorships?

So Karuizawa is definitely out of the question. Just wait and see how I lead my people to make a good laugh at her!

Let's see how Karuizawa and the others can still swagger in front of us. I bet they won't even be able to lift their heads, and they'll be so ashamed that they'll avoid me when they see me.

Ah! I'm such a genius!

How come I never realized I was so smart before?

With my brains, if I were willing to spend a little time studying seriously, I might be able to get into the University of Tokyo.

Chi was beaming with pride.

But soon, another dialog box popped up on the chat interface.

Moreover, the dialog box contains a lot of content, making it extremely long.

I don't know if it was accidental or intentional on the other end.

The newly popped-up dialog box, together with the one from Karuizawa, could fill the entire phone screen.

In other words, the information sent by Chi was pushed directly to the "previous page" off-screen!

"asshole!"

Upon seeing this, Chi couldn't help but curse out loud in anger.

He was hoping to stay on the "homepage" a little longer, but it's only been a short while, and he's already been pushed off.

Chi suspected that someone was deliberately targeting him. Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the name in the upper left corner of the chat box—Horikita Suzune!

This is yet another person trying to force real-name registration in anonymous discussions.

Chi became even more certain of his thoughts, and then got even angrier: "It's on purpose, isn't it! She's deliberately targeting me! I'd like to see what she has to say."

She was so close to Bai Lan, she must have wanted to speak up for Bai Lan, but in the face of irrefutable evidence, no matter how much she said, it all seemed empty and meaningless.

Yet she wrote so much.

If she can't offer any concrete suggestions that could reduce Bai Lan's punishment, I'll report her!

Soon, Ike turned his gaze to the very beginning of Horikita's long and densely packed text.

Horikita Suzune: "I propose the special prize because..."

After watching only the beginning, Chi was instantly stunned, and then he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud... no, he couldn't help it at all.

Even someone like Ike, whose mind is filled with nothing but lewd nonsense all day long, thought Horikita was a bit brainless at this moment.

"I thought it was already outrageous enough that Karuizawa, that brainless and impulsive guy, would say something like letting Shirai 'go unpunished'."

But I never expected that even Horikita, whose academic performance was second only to that narcissist in the class, could say something so brainless.

Although everyone can see that you have a close relationship with Bai Lan and there might be some favoritism, isn't this kind of biased and brainless behavior just too much? 'Suggesting a special award'? Hilarious!

Sure enough, Horikita is an idiot too. He's only a little bit educated, but that's all he's good at. He's got better grades, but he's still an idiot!

Isn’t that right?

I remember when Horikita refuted others before, she always hit the nail on the head. She seemed quite clever, completely different from that idiot Karuizawa. How did she suddenly become an idiot?

and many more!

It's said that people in love become stupid.

Could Horikita be suffering from the legendary "love-obsessed" syndrome?

Hahaha......."

Chi continued reading with a disdainful look and a sense of amusement.

But when he saw what came next, he quickly stopped laughing.

Horikita Suzune: "I propose a special award because: In this whole incident, Bai Lan saved the class at least 400 class points that should have been lost, and there were even additional benefits that cannot be measured in points. The benefits far outweigh the 50 points that were deducted."

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and the gains outweigh the losses.

After offsetting the two factors, the outcome of the incident was that the class benefited from Bai Lan, and Bai Lan was neither at fault nor had she done anything wrong to the class.

According to class rules, meritorious service should be rewarded, not punished…

180. Keysho Horikita

Bai Lan saved the class at least 400 points.

And it's "at least"?!

Upon seeing this, Chi, and indeed the entire class, who were currently peering at their phones, were almost completely stunned.

They had absolutely no idea where this "at least 400 points" came from.

Moreover, judging from the confident and assertive tone in Horikita's writing, it doesn't seem like he was just making things up.

Fortunately, Horikita's words didn't end there; there was more to come, which explained the basis for the class's assessment of "at least 400 points":

"I think the issue of rewarding or punishing Bai Lan should not only focus on what Bai Lan did today, but should be discussed from the beginning to the end of the whole incident, instead of just focusing on one part."

The whole incident should be traced back to when Karuizawa was bullied.

When the bully's bullying failed, he chose to frame Karuizawa, causing Karuizawa to face the crisis of being suspended from school.

Karuizawa will be suspended from school around the crucial time of the midterm exams.

This will cause a terrible chain reaction.

If Karuizawa is successfully framed, she will miss her midterm exams due to suspension from school.

If Karuizawa misses the midterm exam, he will receive a score of 0 for all subjects.

A score of 0 means failing.

Failing a grade means dropping out of school.

Before this, I specifically spent points to exchange for information from Teacher Chabashira about the impact of a student dropping out on the class's score.

According to official school information, unless otherwise specified, if a student withdraws from a class, the class will have 300 points deducted from its score for each student who withdraws.

(Attached: File sharing)

In other words, by saving Karuizawa from expulsion, Bai Lan saved the class from a score of 300.

In addition, 100 points of our class's current score come from the bonus of achieving 'pass all' in the midterm exam.

If anyone in our class fails, we will not be able to get 100 points.

Furthermore, if Karuizawa is successfully framed, the school will not only suspend him from school, but also deduct points from our class!

It should be noted that Bai Lan only 'performed a dangerous show without the school's approval and disrupted campus order,' yet each participant was punished by having 50 points deducted from their respective class's score.

How many points will Karuizawa lose for being falsely accused of 'bullying and injuring classmates'?

I specifically asked Bai Lan, who is the student council's disciplinary committee member this year, about the relevant penalties.

Bai Lan's answer was 200 points.

However, because Bai Lan was a party involved and needed to avoid suspicion, his words were not directly used as evidence.

Spending points to purchase relevant, known, and highly reliable intelligence from the school seems somewhat wasteful.

Moreover, the confirmed score of at least 400 points should be sufficient to demonstrate Bai Lan's contribution to the class.

If the 400 points that can be confirmed are not enough, it is not too late to use points to purchase specific information from the school.

Based on the above, I am certain that Bai Lan saved the class at least 400 points in this incident.

This 'at least 400 points' consists of three components in total.

The penalty of expulsion is 300 points.

The passing grade for the whole class is 100 points.

Karuizawa was falsely accused of 'bullying and injuring classmates' and the 'unknown points' that were supposedly deducted from her score of 200.

Then came the incident of Bai Lan hitting someone today.

The people Bai Lan hit were all those who had previously participated in framing Karuizawa, almost causing the class to lose 'at least 400 points'.

Therefore, it can be seen that Bai Lan's beating was actually a follow-up to Karuizawa being framed.
