There is something wrong with Hikigaya's classroom of supreme ability

……

The next day was the first day of July, and everyone in Class D seemed very excited since morning, because today was the day to settle the class points for last month. Class D in June was generally pretty good, so many students were very excited, because Class D had been at zero for two months, so there should be some improvement this month, right?

In fact, Hirata was the one who was most nervous about this. Secondly, Horikita was also very concerned about the changes in class points last month. After all, if the class points remained at zero for three consecutive months, the voices of dissatisfaction that had been suppressed by Hirata would be rekindled, and then everyone in the class would start blaming each other again.

As for Horikita, she has been trying to figure out the rules for increasing and decreasing class points. Needless to say, the rules for decreasing points are self-explanatory. She is more concerned about the method of increasing points, because after all, this is the key to whether or not one can be promoted to Class A.

However, in the entire D class, Horikita was probably the only one who held such an 'unrealistic' idea. After all, even Hirata and the others only hoped to 'get more class points next month'.

So... when Mr. Chabashira entered the classroom with a poster with the class scores, everyone couldn't help but get nervous. Then, when they saw the number 87 written on the poster for Class D, everyone in Class D burst into cheers.

Hirata couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, while Horikita sighed on the other side.

Hikigaya naturally knew the reason why Horikita sighed. Apart from Class D's 87 class points, the other classes had increased to varying degrees. Class A even directly reached 1004 class points. This actual gap was like a chasm that hit all the lower-ranked classes hard.

Of course, the other students in Class D didn't care at all. What they cared about more was that this month they finally got 8700 personal points as 'life-saving money'. After all, many students in Class D had been eating wild vegetable meals for almost two months!

"Huh? Why aren't there any personal points being transferred in?"

Chi was so excited that he couldn't wait to open his phone, but was shocked to find that his personal points balance was still zero, and he immediately let out a wail.

Many students noticed this, and suddenly a bad premonition came to their minds again.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

Hirata hurriedly asked Chabashira-sensei who was at the podium, but even he himself probably didn't notice the panic in Hirata's tone.

"Because of a dispute, your personal points will be delayed."

While Chabashira-sensei was answering Hirata, he subconsciously glanced towards Hikigaya.

At this time, Hikigaya looked at his mobile phone and found that the personal points of Class C had not been transferred either. Does that mean that it is not only Class D, but also Class C?

Seeing that the classmates were relieved after hearing what Mr. Chabashira said, Hikigaya couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression on his face.

After class, Chabashira-sensei called out to Sudo, who was about to fall asleep, "Sudo, come to the teacher's office after school this afternoon."

"What?! I have to go to basketball practice after school this afternoon!"

Sudo was very dissatisfied.

"I've already said it. Whether you go or not is your choice, of course... if you can bear the consequences."

Chabashira-sensei looked at Sudo coldly, then turned and left.

Sudo stood up with a bang, extremely annoyed. His sudden action immediately attracted the attention of the whole class. Then, after noticing Horikita's unfriendly look, Sudo spat inwardly and returned to his seat in a huff.

"Hikigaya, do you know something?"

Horikita seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly asked Hikigaya who was standing beside her.

Hikigaya glanced at Horikita in surprise. When did this iceberg girl become so good at "reading people's expressions"?

"You should know by tonight at the latest."

Hikigaya said vaguely.

Then after school in the afternoon, Hikigaya packed up his things and went to the student union office. Inside the office, Ishizaki, Komiya, and Kondo had been waiting for a long time. There was also a teacher wearing glasses and looking a little gloomy, Kazuma Sakagami, the head teacher of Class C.

When Hikigaya saw the homeroom teacher of Class C, the teacher also turned his gaze towards him, with a sharp and aggressive look, squinting his eyes as he looked at Hikigaya.

Hikigaya seemed completely unaware of the "hostility" of Mr. Sakagami. After entering the room, he simply greeted the other party and came to Tachibana Akane's side.

Not long after, the office door was opened again, and the indifferent Chabashira-sensei came in first, followed by the irritable and impatient Sudo.

Chapter 111 Additional Punishment.

Sudo, who had a defiant and impatient look on his face before entering the room, immediately noticed the change in the atmosphere when he saw the situation in the student union office.

Especially Horikita Manabu and Sakagami-sensei in the Student Council office, their gazes fell on Sudo as if real, and Sudo suddenly felt an invisible pressure, and subconsciously took his hands out of his trouser pockets. It seemed that after experiencing the risk of being expelled last time, the red-haired boy had restrained his temper.

Of course, it is also possible that after seeing Ishizaki, Komiya and others, Sudo realized that things seemed not to be going well, so he had to "bow his head" and lower his posture.

The subsequent hearing was to listen to the testimonies of both parties involved. The testimonies of Ishizaki, Komiya and the others were exactly the same as yesterday, accusing Ken Sudo of Class D of the first year of using violence and severe beatings on the three of them. The injuries on their bodies were the best proof of this.

"Hey! What are you three bastards talking about? You guys clearly asked me out and provoked me!"

Sudo suddenly stood up and refuted the testimony of Ishizaki and others.

"Class D, please do not interrupt the other party's speech. If you have any questions or doubts, you can explain them after the other party has finished speaking."

Horikita Manabu gave Sudou a cold look and warned him.

"What?! They clearly wanted me to quit the basketball team, and when I refused, they started pushing me. I was only doing it to protect myself! It was self-defense!"

Sudo was very angry about the confessions of Ishizaki and others, and did not pay any attention to Horikita Manabu's warning.

"President, look, that guy was just like this back then. He flew into a rage over a minor argument and started punching people. He was responsible for all three of our injuries!"

Ishizaki was smart enough not to confront Sudo head-on, but turned around and complained to Horikita Manabu.

"Assholes! It was clearly you who provoked me first!"

Sudo angrily kicked a chair aside and looked like he was about to rush over and beat someone up again.

"Sudo, sit down!"

At this time, Chabashira-sensei, who had been silent all this time, started to scold with an unusually cold expression.

Just as Sudo was about to open his mouth to refute, Horikita Manabu spoke up: "It seems that this hearing is almost over."

"But, but I haven't..."

Sudo quickly spoke, but Horikita Manabu raised his hand to interrupt him, looking at him coldly: "Originally, there are doubts about the accusation against the Class C student. After all, the difference in number is three versus one. But judging by the violent temper and extreme behavior you just displayed, it's hard to say whether it was 'self-defense' as you said, or 'deliberate venting of anger'."

Hearing what Horikita Manabu said, Chabashira-sensei remained expressionless, but the coldness emanating from his body was enough to explain his mood at the moment.

"In addition, the area where the violence occurred lacked surveillance equipment, making it impossible to determine the specific circumstances or who initiated the attack. Therefore, given the current situation, the Student Council will give you one week to find proof of your innocence. Otherwise, according to Class C's appeal, you will be severely punished and suspended."

After Horikita Manabu finished speaking, the room fell silent.

"Suspension?!"

Sudo's eyes widened, and then, as if remembering something, he asked frantically, "If we suspend school, what about the basketball team's training and subsequent games?"

"Hikigaya should be familiar with this."

At this time, Horikita Manabu suddenly called out Hikigaya, after all, Hikigaya had been dealing with this matter during this period.

So Hikigaya had to stand up and say: "According to the regulations, during the suspension period, students cannot participate in any school activities, including club activities and competitions."

"what?!"

Sudo seemed to be enraged and yelled, "Basketball is everything to me! I, I can't accept this!"

But no one at the scene paid any attention to Sudo's yelling.

"President, how long will the suspension last?"

At this time, Hikigaya suddenly asked.

At the same time, Hikigaya's speech immediately attracted many people's attention, and people like Chabashira also realized Hikigaya's intention.

Horikita Manabu looked around at everyone in the room with apathy, and finally his gaze fell on Sudo, who was still looking unconvinced. "According to the regulations, the suspension is three weeks."

After hearing the word 'three weeks,' Chabashira-sensei was visibly relieved. But then Horikita Manabu continued, "However, given his awful attitude toward the student council and teachers, his violent behavior in the office, his vandalism, and his subsequent lack of remorse, additional punishment will be imposed. The original three-week suspension will be extended until the summer vacation of the first semester."

Chabashira-sensei, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly looked very unhappy. On the other hand, Sakagami-sensei, who had remained silent the entire time, smiled with satisfaction. Ishizaki, Komiya, and the others also showed expressions of "victory."

Similarly, when Hikigaya heard the words "school will be suspended until summer vacation", he couldn't help but frown and glanced at Horikita Manabu in confusion.

As for Sudo, he was still in a state of "unacceptability". In his opinion, he was suspended from school anyway, so the length of suspension made no difference at all.

After the students from Class C and Class D involved in the incident left, only Horikita Manabu, Tachibana Akane, and Hikigaya were left in the student council office.

"Do you have any questions?"

Horikita Manabu seemed to notice Hikigaya's confusion and asked.

Hikigaya pondered for a moment and nodded. "Putting my own perspective aside, as an ordinary student council member, I do find this matter somewhat puzzling."

Ishizaki and the other three were beaten severely by Sudo unilaterally. Judging from the difference in numbers, this is extremely outrageous. Moreover, Ishizaki, Komiya and others are not so thin that they can be knocked down by one punch. It is just outrageous but does not mean that it is impossible. Although conspiracy theories indicate that Class C is highly suspected in this matter, these are not the focus of Hikigaya's attention or the areas where he is confused.

"If we follow normal procedures, shouldn't it be 'whoever makes the allegation, provides the evidence'? As the plaintiff, the Class C students claim that 'Sudo violently assaulted the three of them, causing serious injuries.' While the injuries on the Class C students are certainly convincing, due to the lack of surveillance footage at the scene, they are insufficient to serve as conclusive evidence."

Hikigaya looked at Horikita Manabu. This was also what puzzled him. Since Class C was the plaintiff, shouldn't they be the ones to "provide evidence" before the existing evidence was insufficient to form conclusive evidence?

Why is Sudo, the defendant, asked to find evidence to prove his innocence?

He felt that with Horikita Manabu's ability, he should not make such a mistake.

Chapter 112: Longyuan’s conspiracy?

"Of course, I know this isn't a court. Ultimately, this is just a student dispute. There's no need to follow that exact system."

Hikigaya sighed at this point: "So, in the end, it's all due to the bad consequences that Sudo has accumulated."

In Hikigaya's opinion, Sudo didn't need to be so passive in this matter. As the defendant, with no surveillance equipment at the crime scene and no third party present, the confessions of the three students in Class C alone were not enough to "convict" Sudo. It was just the injuries on the Class C students, plus Sudo's usual reputation and his poor performance in the meeting just now, that completely handed the initiative to the other party. It was pure pig-nosed behavior.

No wonder Chabashira-sensei looked so unhappy just now.

However, it must be said that this strategy of Class C may not be useful against others, but for Sudo it is a case of "one willing to fight, the other willing to be beaten", and they took the initiative to deliver it to the door.

Therefore, the biggest variable in handling this dispute actually depends on which side's testimony and evidence Horikita Manabu, the student council president, "believes" more.

The fact that Horikita Manabu gave Sudo a week's buffer time actually shows that in Horikita Manabu's heart, despite the obvious injuries on the three members of Class C, he still had doubts about the testimony of Class C. However, due to Sudo's own problems and various pig nose operations, he successfully gave away his advantage.

In Hikigaya's opinion, although there is only one week, it is very difficult to find evidence to prove his innocence. Moreover, even if evidence is found, it is difficult to determine right and wrong in matters such as fighting. Therefore, the final result is likely to be punishment, but it depends on how severe the punishment is.

“That’s a good thought.”

Horikita Manabu seemed very satisfied with Hikigaya's performance, but then changed his tone: "But Hikigaya, you've got one thing wrong. We're not concerned about who's right or wrong. The ultimate goal of the Student Council is to mediate and resolve disputes between students, so... do you understand?"

Hikigaya was stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately understood what Horikita meant. What the student union needed was not to judge right and wrong, but to solve the problem itself.

"So, President, you also saw the purpose behind this dispute, which is why you gave Sudo a week's buffer time?"

Hikigaya suddenly realized.

In this school where competition is the main focus, many things are actually driven by some purpose or profit. It is obvious that Horikita Manabu believes that the dispute between Class C and Class D is not an "accident". The reason for giving a one-week buffer period is more to allow the two classes to negotiate privately.

An off-site settlement?

However, some things are better known to everyone than to be discussed publicly, so Horikita Manabu didn't directly answer Hikigaya's question. Instead, he said, "That being said, they still need to be properly warned in some areas."

Hikigaya understood that Horikita Manabu was talking about Sudo's 'additional punishment', and this was Hikigaya's second question.

The worst result for Sudo was a three-week suspension, but the additional punishment that followed was to extend the three weeks directly to before the summer vacation. Perhaps Sudo, Ishizaki and others had not yet realized the difference, but people like Chabashira-sensei, Sakagami-sensei, Tachibana Akane, and Hikigaya all reacted immediately.

Moreover, Hikigaya had just explained the meaning of the "suspension" a second ago. It was not just about not being able to participate in club activities, but in fact, he was also unable to take part in the school's final exams. This also meant that Sudo, who was unable to take the final exams, would face expulsion!

It can be said that Horikita Manabu's words directly determined Sudo's fate. As for Horikita Manabu's additional punishment for Sudo, no one else could find any fault with it. Even Chabashira Sensei did not intend to "plead" for Sudo in the end, because she also understood that this was entirely the evil result of Sudo's own fault.

Whether it was the fight or the additional punishment that followed, it was all due to Sudo's own flaws, and he didn't even have the chance to make excuses!

"Sure enough...you still haven't grown."

Hikigaya understood the situation, but he didn't feel any regret or disappointment. He just felt that humans were a species that kept making the same mistakes over and over again. Perhaps those apes that hadn't evolved yet could understand this truth.

Not long after returning to the dormitory, Hikigaya suddenly received a text message from someone on his phone.

[A Midsummer Night's Dream: Open the door quickly! ]

【Energy conservationist:? 】

Then the next second, the doorbell rang outside. Hikigaya sighed and went to open the door. Then Kushida walked in directly, took off his shoes, and walked into Hikigaya's room. He did it all with great skill. He even turned back and shouted to Hikigaya: "What are you doing? Hurry up!"

Hey, this is my territory!

And how come you are so skilled?

Hikigaya originally thought that Kushida was coming to him to complain again, but this time he guessed wrong, as Kushida said that he was coming to give him a "reminder".

"Remind? Me?"

"Higanikitani, you're a member of the student council, so you should know about the fight between Sudo and the students from Class C..."

It turned out that after Sudo left the student union office, he returned to the dormitory and immediately found Kushida and Ayanokouji to "ask for help" and discuss how to find evidence to "prove his innocence"!

In order to prevent this matter from affecting the selection of players for the basketball club's summer tournament, Sudo had to carry out this matter in private. As for why the two "brothers" Ike and Yamauchi were not included, Sudo said that they were both idiots and unreliable and would definitely leak the matter.
