When I was teaching at the university, Brother Lu called me a pervert at the beginning.

What evidence do you have to prove that our Class C bullied students from your class?

As Ryuen continued to argue, Horikita Suzune frowned.

"Ms. Chazhu and the homeroom teachers of each class should have seen this, right? Isn't this evidence?"

Horikita Suzune looked around at Chabashira-sensei, Majima-sensei, Hoshinomiya-sensei, and Sakagami-sensei who were sitting around her.

Chabashira Sae was silent for a moment, then looked at Horikita Suzune and said:

"At the time, we only saw four students from Class C surrounding Karuizawa, and we don't know the specifics."

After saying that, she slowly lowered her head, her eyes flickering slightly.

The teachers nearby remained silent, as if they were just spectators.

"Isn't it obvious! Look at the wounds on Karuizawa's body! Didn't they do these things?!" Horikita Suzune shouted angrily at Chabashira-sensei and the others.

"Horikita, the specifics depend on how the chairman deliberates." Chabashira Sae glanced at Horikita Manabu, indicating that it was useless for Horikita Suzune to talk to them; she had to talk to Horikita Manabu instead!

Seeing their indifferent attitude, Horikita Suzune couldn't help but feel disappointed in the teachers at this school.

"President Horikita..." Horikita Suzune looked at Horikita Manabu, who was sitting silently in the main seat, with expectant eyes.

"Manabe-kun, why did you go down to the basement?" Horikita asked the students in Class C.

"We were just wandering around and it was an accident that we ended up on the underground floor," Shiho Manabe said.

"Are you sure no one instructed you to go?" Horikita Manabu asked.

"No!" Shiho Manabe and the others shook their heads vigorously.

Seeing this, Horikita Manabu asked Karuizawa Megumi, who had her head down:

"Then why are you on the basement level? Did someone arrange to meet you there?"

Karuizawa Kei glanced at Hirata Yosuke out of the corner of her eye and shook her head vigorously.

Seeing that neither side was willing to tell the truth, Horikita Manabu also stretched out his fingers and pressed his temples.

"If you all remain uncooperative, this matter will become very troublesome."

Hearing Horikita Manabu's words, Ryuen smiled.

“This is not troublesome at all, Chairman Horikita!”

"Oh~ Is there anything else you want to say?" Horikita Manabu looked at Ryuen and asked.

"Isn't Karuizawa-kun the central figure in this whole thing?" Ryuen said, propping her head up with her hand and looking at Karuizawa Megumi across from her.

"Karuizawa, do you think Manabe and the others hit you?"

Upon hearing Ryuen's words, Karuizawa Kei couldn't help but recall what had happened at the karaoke bar that day, her small hands clenching into fists.

If she admitted that Manabe and the others had bullied her, then given Ryuen's ruthless nature, she definitely wouldn't let her off the hook.

It's easy to imagine that she will have a very difficult time surviving at this school.

Furthermore, if the fact that I was bullied is exposed, how will others view me?

Even good relationships maintained at this school will likely crumble because of this!

Therefore... the best option is to deny it!

"These...these wounds were all caused by myself, and have nothing to do with Manabe and the others," Karuizawa Megumi said softly, her head lowered.

Upon hearing Karuizawa Megumi's words, Horikita Suzune looked on in disbelief.

"Karuizawa! Do you think that if you continue to be so cowardly, Ryuen will let you off the hook?" Horikita Suzune said through gritted teeth.

"Don't be scared by him, he won't dare do anything to you! And I will protect you! Don't be afraid!"

"Hey, Horikita, isn't it a bit too arrogant of you to talk bad about me to my face?" Ryuen angrily slammed his fist on the table.

He glared fiercely at Karuizawa Kei and said:

"Did you hear what Horikita said? I'm a really bad person! So you'd better explain exactly what happened that day, or else... hehe!"

Chapter 108: A Gift for You!

Ryuen's undisguised threatening tone made Karuizawa Megumi even more frightened.

"I...I'm telling the truth! Manabe and the others didn't bully me. I injured myself," Karuizawa Megumi said in a low voice.

Upon hearing Karuizawa Megumi's words, Ryuen smiled.

He turned to look at Horikita Suzune, whose face was somewhat pale, and said:

"Did you hear that, Horikita? She said it herself!"

Horikita Suzune clenched her fists and looked at Ryuen.

"You've been threatening Karuizawa behind his back, haven't you!"

"A threat? Hah!" Ryuen turned to look at Karuizawa Megumi and shouted:

"Tell me, did I threaten you?"

"No...no!" Karuizawa Megumi said softly, her head down.

"Look, she said it herself!" Long Yuan sat back down in her chair with a smile.

"Damn it! Karuizawa! Why don't you dare admit that you're being bullied?! Are Ryuen and the others really that scary? So scary that you don't even dare to resist in the slightest!" Horikita Suzune looked at Karuizawa Megumi, who had her head down, with deep confusion.

She couldn't understand why Karuizawa Megumi would choose to tolerate the bullies! Wasn't this just encouraging them to continue their bullying?

Karuizawa Kei looked up at Horikita Suzune's questioning expression and clenched her teeth.

These people don't understand anything at all!

"Hori Kita! You don't understand anything at all, so don't pretend to be doing this for my own good. It just makes me think you're being pretentious!" Karuizawa Megumi glared at her and didn't want to say anything more. After all, how could they possibly understand what the bullied person was thinking?

They're just gloating under the guise of upholding justice!

Seeing that Karuizawa Megumi was silent, Horikita Suzune wanted to say something more, but was pulled by Kushida Kikyo next to her.

"Horikitani, stop talking! Since Karuizawa has chosen to run away, no matter what we say to her, she'll just think we're talking nonsense." Kikyo Kushida looked at Karuizawa Megumi with a strange emotion in her eyes. Was it pity? No, it was an expression that said, "You deserve it."

Refusing help from others, trapping yourself in the same place, and shamelessly claiming that no one understands you!

These are all just excuses for Karuizawa to escape!

Horikita Suzune sighed deeply, her eyes dimming.

Looks like I'm going to disappoint Onii-chan again this time!

Horikita Manabu glanced at Horikita Suzune's disappointed look and shook his head helplessly.

"Karuizawa-san, are you sure what you're saying is true?" Horikita Manabu asked Karuizawa Megumi.

Karuizawa Megumi lowered her head and gave a soft "hmm".

Let's just let this matter pass!

Let yourself go back to the lifestyle you used to have!

Be a proper parasite and honestly survive by relying on others!

Seeing that things were almost over, Long Yuan couldn't help but show a relaxed expression.

Looks like we made the right bet this time!

Manabe Shiho and the other three breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

This incident has kept them from eating or sleeping well for the past few days! They're terrified of being expelled from school!

Fortunately, Karuizawa, that coward, didn't dare to report them!

Seeing this, Horikita Manabu knew that there was no way to change things now that they had developed to this point!

If the person involved doesn't even dare to admit that she's being bullied, then aren't we, who choose to help her, being a bit nosy?

"Now I announce that this incident is now..."

Before Horikita could even speak, Tachibana quickly reached out and touched Horikita's shoulder, placing her phone in front of him.

"President! Take a look at this video!"

When Horikita Manabu heard what Tachibana Akane said, he frowned and took the phone to look at it.

"How did you get this video?" Horikita Manabu asked Tachibana after watching the video.

"This was posted on the school's public network."

School public network?

Horikita Manabu felt a bad premonition.

He picked up his phone, opened the school's internal public network section, and saw this video at the very top of the recommended section.

At the very bottom of the video are comments from the school's students.

"Damn it, Tachibana, contact the network department right now! Find the person who posted this video and take it down!" Horikita Manabu handed the phone back to Tachibana and ordered.

"Yes!" Ju Xi nodded and left the classroom.
