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

Therefore, when asked by Bai Lan, Nan Yun replied with a helpless expression, as if he had "resigned himself to his fate," "That's right! My hand was injured by that guy, Kogenji Rokusuke."

Seeing the "helplessness" on Nanun's face, Bai Lan simply took it as Nanun's sadness at realizing that he was powerless against Kogenji, and became certain that "Nanun's hand was indeed broken by Kogenji."

Upon confirming this, Bai Lan was immediately startled, then gasped, and then overjoyed.

To everyone's surprise, Kōgenji was indeed incredibly powerful; he managed to break the student council vice president's arm, while he himself was completely unharmed.

The good thing is that, due to some misunderstandings, Gaoyuan Temple has already regarded Bai Lan as an enemy. If such methods are used on Bai Lan, wouldn't it be easy for Bai Lan to drop out of school?

I want to put the matter of Gaoyuan Temple aside.

Before confirming that Kougenji had indeed used underhanded tactics against Bailan, Bailan had no reason to retaliate.

What if Kougenji, while regarding Shirayama as an enemy, hopes to defeat him using methods that are not against the rules, just like Shirayama, in order to prove that he is no less capable than Shirayama?

Bai Lan turned her attention back to Nan Yun.

What Bai Lan is concerned about now is—

"Did the doctor say when your injury will be fully healed?" Bai Lan asked with concern.

"When will the injury on my hand fully heal? What does that have to do with framing Kougenji?"

However, Nan Yun quickly realized, "I understand! Bai Lan is planning to find out the extent of my injuries by asking me when I will recover, so that she can devise a countermeasure based on this information, and also use this information to deduce the feasibility of framing Gaoyuan Temple!"

Indeed, discussing the distribution of profits after the deal is done without any prior intelligence is premature.

After all, I can't even figure out how to use what I currently have to successfully frame Kogenji.

If Bai Lan wants to successfully frame Gao Yuan Temple, she will naturally need to be more prepared.

I was too eager for quick success.

Is this the difference between me and Bai Lan?

Hmph, but it's okay, I've already learned it, I'm growing, and I'm getting stronger!

I'm just going to suffer a setback for now.

But one day, I will be the one who has the last laugh!

Soon, Nanyun replied, "The doctor said it will take a month to remove the cast and bandages, but afterwards I still can't do strenuous activities or withstand too much impact or pressure, otherwise there is a risk of relapse."

For a full recovery, the cast needs to be removed and the patient rests for a month, followed by another month of careful observation before you can feel at ease.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan's face immediately revealed a ferocious yet solemn expression.

One month to remove the cast, one month to rest, and one month to observe.

That adds up to three months!

By then, the semester will be over! Summer vacation is almost over!

Even the probationary period for disciplinary action has passed!

Bai Lan's plan to get punished by beating up Nan Yun has fallen through.

Good guy.

Six targets.

Because of the Plateau Temple.

All gone in an instant!

Bai Lan felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Nagamo..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Nan Yun thought Bai Lan had a plan and was about to listen attentively.

However........

"You're completely useless!" Bai Lan said, shaking her head.

"what?"

Nan Yun looked completely bewildered.

After a while, Nagumo finally realized what was happening.

"You fool me!"

Nan Yun's face instantly turned bright red, and then he gritted his teeth and roared at Bai Lan.

However, Bai Lan was too lazy to pay attention to this useless fellow. She simply turned and left.

"Stop!" Nan Yun shouted.

"What? Are you going to hit me?" Bai Lan turned around and asked with some anticipation.

Nan Yun: "Yonekura and the others have already dropped out of school, so I no longer need to pay the 'settlement fee' on their behalf. I request that a notary be found to terminate the agreement, and I will not pay the remaining 30 million!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan immediately laughed: "Are you stupid?"

The agreement we signed clearly states that the 50 million is not a 'settlement fee,' but rather compensation for the victims.

Whether you framed Karuizawa out of misunderstanding or out of 'true feelings,' the fact remains that Karuizawa almost dropped out of school because of the false accusation of being a beast.

Therefore, the compensation of fifty million must not be reduced by a single penny!

Upon hearing this, Nan Yun looked dejected.

In fact, Nan Yun had already guessed this outcome. He asked the question only as a last resort, hoping to grasp at a straw.

The repeated falls from hope to despair dealt a tremendous blow to Nagumo, causing his eyes to lose their light.

Nagumo's mental state completely collapsed...

192. Prepare to experience my pain! Hirata!

Bai Lan was actually very clear about Nan Yun's thoughts and the predicament he was currently facing.

Although some misunderstandings led Bai Lan to have some incorrect perceptions about the truth behind Nan Yun's hand injury, the impact was not significant.

Clearly, Nagumo wanted my help to suppress Kogenji Temple and to get a debt relief.

After all, from Nagumo's perspective, Kogenji's actions harmed the interests of both Hakuran and Nagumo.

Therefore, the two share a common goal and have a basis for cooperation in this matter.

But what about the facts?

Nagumo is overthinking it.

Bai Lan's "ruling the class" in the original Class D was not for the purpose of seizing power or ruling the class.

He did this simply because the role of "ruling the world" is more hated, and he could fulfill his agreement with Hirata without breaking the "unity".

Bai Lan wanted to be seen as someone like Xiang Yu, who was at odds with the world; Shang Yang, who was torn apart by five horses by Qin nobles in a fit of rage; or the First Emperor, who swept away the six states and unified the world. Yet, she was still someone who was hated by others.

Although the people mentioned here have received the historical evaluation of "their sins were in their time, but their merits will last for generations" and have even won the admiration and respect of countless people, put aside everything else, just think about how hated they were when they were alive.

They did these things to incite hatred.

As for power and benefits, those are merely secondary.

Therefore, Bai Lan was not concerned about Gao Yuansi's attempt to seize control of her class, and was even somewhat pleased.

It's important to know that before Gaoyuan Temple emerged, in the eyes of the original Class D members, Bai Lan was the only option to align themselves with.

Despite Hirata and Kushida being quite popular in class, if something serious were to happen, they would probably still go to Shirai for help.

After all, Bai Lan was the only one in the class with a remarkable "achievement".

But now it's different.

Gaoyuan Temple took over and showed off its huge assets.

Without suffering any losses to herself or her class, she expelled five "enemies" at once, making her seem even more powerful and terrifying than Bai Lan!

Given such a formidable record, in the eyes of the public, Kougenji would become a new, even more powerful, ally than Shirai.

If the students in the class think that Gaoyuan Temple is more reliable than Bai Lan, then those who originally wanted to cling to Bai Lan and hinder his plan to drop out of school will probably turn around and cling to Gaoyuan Temple instead.

Human strength is limited, and even if that strength is used to curry favor with powerful figures, it's still the same.

The more energy the class uses to curry favor with Kogenji, the less energy is available to curry favor with Shirou, and the less energy is available to curry favor with Shirou!

This is a qualitative change resulting from quantitative change.

Anyone who has studied physics knows that the composition and resolution of forces has the following characteristics:

The combined force of two forces acting in different directions will be less than the sum of the values ​​of the two forces acting in different directions.

To give an extreme example, two forces that are completely opposite in direction and of the same magnitude will cancel each other out when combined.

When the Kogenji Station appears, there will even be four different "forces" in the original Class D!

they are, respectively:

People who want to curry favor with Bai Lan.

People who want to curry favor with Kogenji Temple.

People who want to cling to both powerful figures.

A person who doesn't want to cling to either powerful figure.

The four forces will cancel each other out.

This is what is known as "internal friction".

As long as there are ideological differences within a group, and multiple leaders who control the discourse and hold different positions, internal friction is inevitable.

The greater the ideological differences and the more distant the leaders' positions, the more serious the internal friction becomes.

This is the inevitable result of a group not being of one mind and not working together towards a common goal.

As a result, when Bai Lan faces the crisis of dropping out of school, not only will fewer people try to protect him, but those who cling to Gaoyuan Temple might even push for Bai Lan's expulsion.

After all, once Bai Lan is expelled, Gao Yuansi will have the final say in the entire class, and wouldn't they become "heroes who helped the emperor rise to power"?

Therefore, the power grab at Kougenji Temple was advantageous to Bai Lan.

In addition, the actions of Kogenji Temple reduced Nagumo's income, and the fact that the second-year rule was being shaken also benefited Hakuran!

According to the agreement, Nanyun must pay Bailan 15% of his monthly income and at least five million points as compensation each month.
