Ichinose, you will regret it.

But the problem is, the school also knows that Ryuen is beating up students from Class D, but they are just pretending not to know.

It is not known whether the school will help Hirata Uesugi Gen, but Ryuen will definitely not help.

"but……"

Uesugi Gen spread his hands and expressed helplessly.

"That guy Long Yuan is really petty. He can beat others up, and then when they retaliate, he will act like a rogue and go to the school."

"..."

The whole place fell silent, and everyone's gaze was simultaneously focused on one place.

"That Gen-kun."

Ichinose tugged at the corner of Uesugi Gen's clothes and whispered a reminder.

"Back, back!"

"What's behind—"

Uesugi Gen then turned his head and slowly uttered two words.

"Fuck!"

Not far behind Uesugi Gen, Ryuen Sho was staring at them with a gloomy face.

At this time, one of his legs was in a cast and he needed to rely on crutches to move. His head and left hand were wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and the rest of his body was also wrapped in sporadic bandages.

Is this the power of a defective leader assigned to Class D? He actually beat Ryuuen like this. No wonder he was so angry that he went to the school to complain after waking up.

Ryuen Sho stared at Uesugi Gen, snorted coldly, then limped away with the help of a cane.

Of course he didn't come here for fun, he came here just to confirm Uesugi Gen's attitude.

Long Yuanxiang still remembers the hesitation in his teacher's eyes when he woke up and found himself in this state and complained to his teacher.

When this incident spread, Ryuen Sho sadly discovered that except for his own little brothers, no one believed that it was Hirata who beat him like this.

In this regard, Ryuen Sho wanted to say something to Uesugi Gen.

Uesugi bastard, please believe me!

122

Chapter 122 The persistence in the heart of a man named Hirata Yosuke.

"Swish"

The door of the student union office was pushed open smoothly by Uesugi Gen.

The student council president, Horikita Manabu, and his secretary had been waiting inside for a long time.

"Hello! Long time no see, Horikita-senpai and his secretary."

Uesugi Gen greeted the two of them in a friendly manner.

"Humph!"

Tachibana didn't have a good face to show to Uesugi Gen. After all, Uesugi Gen never did any work in the student union, and it was left to her to deal with it in the end.

"Please take a seat. The parties involved will be here in 20 minutes to discuss and negotiate this dispute."

"Here is the information about this dispute. You can take a look at it when you have time."

Horikita Manabu replied calmly without even looking up, pushed a document in front of Uesugi Gen, and continued to deal with the student council's documents.

"No, I trust my own judgment more than this."

Uesugi Gen pushed the information back casually.

"That's up to you."

……

Not long after, Ryuen and his group from Class C arrived first, using crutches.

When all the members of Class C saw the figure in the main seat, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"You're the one who came here, you bastard Uesugi? You've never dealt with any disputes among first-year students before. Are you deliberately trying to get involved this time?"

Ryuen Sho looked at Uesugi Gen with a frown. From what he saw in the cafe yesterday, he was not sure whether Uesugi Gen would favor Class D.

"I'm just a little interested this time. And watch your words. Call me the elder."

Uesugi Gen leaned back in his chair and greeted Ryuen Sho.

After hearing what Uesugi Gen said, Tachibana, who had been silent next to him, glared at Uesugi Gen angrily.

"Don't worry, I'm not like someone who would abuse his power as vice president of the student union. Whatever the outcome of your negotiations is, that's it."

After saying that, Uesugi Gen added another sentence to diss a certain yellow-haired guy.

【But you can eat and drink for free, right? 】

Horikita Manabu and Tachibana complained in their minds at the same time.

"It better be so!"

Long Yuan sneered and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Also coming in with Ryuuen were Class C's homeroom teacher, Mr. Sakagami, and Kaneda Satoru, who was traumatized by Uesugi Gen on the uninhabited island.

Not long after, the members of Class D also arrived at the Student Union Office.

But Uesugi Gen seemed to hear a familiar voice.

His homeroom teacher - Hoshinomiya Chie.

"Ahh~ Wait a minute, Saeda-chan, can't I join in too?"

"That's not the case. This has nothing to do with your Class A."

"Who said that? My Gen-chan is the one who handled this dispute. Be careful or I'll ask him to make things difficult for your class."

The sound outside the door paused noticeably, then continued.

"That's not allowed either. According to school regulations, only people related to both parties can enter."

"Oh~ What a shame, never mind, come on, Gen-chan, the teacher will be cheering you on from outside."

The sound at the door was loud for a while and then gradually became quieter. It seemed that it was pushed away by Chabashi Sae.

This funny teacher!

Uesugi Gen smiled and shook his head, then looked at the people coming in from Class D.

An accomplice lady with a sweet smile.

Ms. Horikita sat upright and looked straight ahead.

And...his usual gentle smile completely disappeared, leaving only the gloomy Hirata Yosuke.

Haven't you come to your senses yet? It seems that the bullying this time has had a huge impact on him.

Judging from the bruises and gauze on his body, he was fine except for his legs. In fact, he and Ryuuen must have fought to a draw.

And judging from the degree of wear on the gauze and bandage, as well as the color of the bloodstains on them.

After knocking Ryuuen down, he probably ran back to his dormitory without even bandaging his wound.

He had to wait until the deadline of the meeting between the two parties before he was forced to come out, and was taken away by Student D to get a hasty bandage.

After both parties arrived, the teachers nodded to each other and then sat down waiting for the conversation to begin.

"Now that everyone is here, let's make a quick decision. You can speak freely and debate as much as you like about this violent incident. Whatever the final result is, I won't interfere too much."

Uesugi Gen struck the standard Commander Ikari pose, placed his hands under his chin, and spoke in a pretentiously deep voice.

Usually, that weird guy with glasses poses like this, I’ve wanted to try it for a long time!

"Next, the conversation meeting officially begins."

Uesugi Gen waved his hand.

Please start your performance.

"Ryuen from Class C accused our classmate Hirata Yosuke of assaulting Ryuen Sho. However, judging by Hirata's injuries, the term assault is clearly not applicable."

"Therefore, we have reason to suspect that Ryuen-san intended to assault our classmates like he did last time, but was met with desperate resistance from Hirata-san, which ultimately led to this situation."

After clarifying her own goal, Horikita Suzune took the lead in launching an attack. Even in the presence of Horikita Manabu, she confidently blamed Ryuen Sho.

This incident is different from the last one. Ryuen's injuries are too serious. If the school really determines that Hirata was the one who initiated the attack, suspension and class point deductions are inevitable.

And because of the presence of the camera, even if no photos of the scene were taken, by comparing Hirata's appearance when he entered and came out, it can be confirmed that Hirata was definitely involved.

Therefore, all that can be done is to confuse the order of action in this incident and reduce Hirata's responsibility.

"As for the order, the surveillance video closest to the scene should have captured me going in first, followed by Hirata Yosuke, but he was the last to come out. Isn't that strange?"

Ryuen Sho seemed to have anticipated this situation and asked with a sneer.

Horikita: "It's a shame, Ryuen-san. The night you beat up Yamauchi-san, Ike-san arrived later. You might have used the same method to call out Hirata-san."

Ryuen: "No, it was because I beat up those two people that day that Hirata Yosuke held a grudge against me and attacked me."

Horikita: "No, Hirata-san has never hit anyone. Many people know this."

Ryuuen: "Just because he didn't hit anyone doesn't mean he wasn't the one who attacked first."

Horikita: "But compared to Hirata-san, who has never hit anyone, Ryuuen-san, you've fought countless times, and you can even say you have a bad record."

Ryuuen: "It's precisely because he's never hit anyone before that he couldn't control his strength and hit me so hard."

Horikita: "Ryuen-san, did you control the force well? Hirata-san will need to go to the infirmary for a second bandage later."

……

Wow, Miss Horikita, are you so fierce after you let go of your hesitant idea of wanting to get your brother's approval immediately?

It was a 50-50 fight with Long Yuan!

Judging from the look on Miss Accomplice's face, I'll have to coax her again tonight...

Gen Uesugi sat in the last row of the office and watched the two men arguing with each other.

At this time, Horikita Manabu, who had been silent beside her, raised the corner of his mouth slightly after seeing Horikita Suzune's performance.

In this format, without conclusive evidence, this conflict would likely be defined as a mutual brawl in which both sides were responsible...

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the argument between Horikita Suzune and Ryuen Sho.

Hirata Yosuke, who had been silent until then, spoke in a low voice.

"I did it..."

"What are you talking about, Hirata-san?"

Kushida Kikyo next to him quickly stopped him.

"You heard it, he admitted it himself—"

Hirata Yosuke stood up, looked directly at Ryuen Sho, and repeated it again in an extremely firm tone.

"This time, I took the initiative to beat up Ryuen Sho."

No one present spoke, because the man's eyes told them that he had something more to say.

Then, Hirata Yosuke was silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"When I was little, I had a very close friend named Sugimura. He was often bullied in middle school."

"I...wanted to help him, but because of my own cowardice, I chose to turn a blind eye."

"Until one day..."

Hirata Yosuke's pupils dilated and he muttered.

"He... committed suicide by jumping off the roof of the teaching building, and he never woke up again."

"Because I stood by and watched, he was forced to commit suicide..."

"I was cowardly that time. If I were cowardly again, I would regret it for the rest of my life..."

"so!"
