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

Suddenly, Ayanokouji, who was standing next to Horikita, muttered to himself, "From the beginning to the end, we couldn't find any evidence to prove Sudo's 'innocence' because it didn't exist in the first place. It would have been much better if this had happened in a place with surveillance cameras, like a teaching building or a convenience store. That way, not only would we have clearly recorded the other party's guilt, but we could also have proven the authenticity of Sakura's confession. It's a pity that places like the teaching building don't have any surveillance equipment. If they had, maybe the outcome would have been different."

Upon hearing this, Horikita turned her head and stared straight at Ayanokouji, her expression changing constantly. It seemed that she immediately understood what Ayanokouji meant, but for some reason, Horikita subconsciously looked at Hikigaya who was taking minutes of the meeting in the distance.

Ling Xiaolu remained expressionless, but at the same time, she noticed Horikita's gaze and suddenly spoke. Her voice, though devoid of any emotion, was like the whisper of a devil: "Horikita, don't you want to prove to him that you're no worse than him?"

Ayanokouji's words were like a knife, piercing Horikita's heart fiercely, and blood immediately flowed out.

Horikita's face changed, and she turned around and glared at Ayanokouji fiercely!

"Then, Horikita-san, representing Class D, please state your opinion."

At this time, Akane Tachibana looked in the direction of Class D and asked.

"I understand."

Horikita took a deep breath, and before standing up, she gave Ayanokouji a sharp warning, as if to say, "Wait for me when you get back."

"Hey, Horikita!"

Sudo shouted anxiously. Until now, Sudo was still trying to imagine that impossible result and was still unwilling to face the facts of what would happen next.

Horikita ignored Sudo and continued, "I believe that Sudo from our class bears an unshirkable responsibility for this dispute. The current situation is closely related to his bad behavior and bad temper that he has accumulated in the past.

He loves to fight, threatens others at every turn, uses violence, and is arrogant towards teachers and elders, causing trouble to others. As a victim, I can empathize with him. Therefore, the consequences of this incident are the accumulation of his usual 'cause', and it is also the best retribution and punishment for him.

Although he was the representative of Class D, Horikita's words were an all-round criticism of Sudo's character and even his behavior. However, except for Sudo himself, the others present not only did not think there was a problem, but even agreed with it.

"Hey! Horikita, what are you talking about?!"

Sudo stood up with a bang and glared at Horikita!

"Sudo, it's your ignorant and arrogant attitude that has led to this situation today!"

Horikita turned around and scolded, his sharp eyes and tone overpowering Sudou.

"Sudo does need to reflect deeply, but what he needs to reflect on is his past evil deeds and the harm and trouble his ignorant and arrogant behavior has caused to others. This is undeniable!"

Horikita stared calmly at the students in Class C opposite her, and met the gloomy eyes of Class C teacher Sakagami without any fear.

"But this is a reflection on Sudo's past personal behavior, not on this incident. We believe this dispute was a deliberate frame-up by Class C, so we cannot accept the proposal of 'reconciliation', not even a one-day suspension!"

Chapter 132: Turn your hand and the clouds will appear.

With Horikita's resolute refusal, the dispute that was about to end with a "settlement" was once again deadlocked, and the two sides broke out into a dispute again, but neither side would admit that they were the first to start the fight.

Hikigaya watched the entire process one by one. As a bystander, he had a broader and clearer perspective to see everyone's performance.

Among them, Horikita's performance is undoubtedly conspicuous. From being "out of shape" at the beginning to now directly and firmly refusing to reconcile, Hikigaya saw it all. Of course, he also saw someone's small movements throughout the whole process.

He helped the absent-minded Horikita recover, and at the critical moment, he 'reminded' Sudo to put Sakura on the negotiation table as a bargaining chip.

Especially at the end, although we don’t know what Ayanokouji said to Horikita, the sudden change in Horikita’s attitude is definitely related to him!

If we add the matter of seducing Sakura into the equation, we can say that this entire dispute was manipulated and directed by Ayanokouji alone!

Sure enough, when school started, my feeling was not wrong. This guy is indeed very dangerous!

Thinking of this, Hikigaya subconsciously looked at Horikita Manabu who was sitting in the middle of the negotiation table. Although Horikita Manabu's face was still expressionless, Hikigaya noticed that Horikita Manabu's eyes had been on Ayanokouji for quite a long time.

Sure enough, the president also noticed something unusual.

But I have to say that Horikita Manabu can really keep his composure.

The dispute reached a stalemate again. Horikita Manabu, the judge of this deliberation, spoke again: "Since both of you insist on your own opinions and are unwilling to accept a settlement, and from your testimonies just now, it seems that one of you has committed a serious and egregious lie."

Horikita Manabu solemnly confirmed the authenticity of Class D and Class C's testimonies, and the result was still "They didn't lie, everything they said was true."

Horikita Manabu looked at the students from both sides with a stern expression and slowly said, "That is to say, one of you has deliberately deceived the school. You should have clearly understood the serious consequences of this. Therefore, I will give both of you one day. We will hold the final judgment meeting here at 4 pm tomorrow.

If neither of you has clear evidence that the other is lying, or if you have taken the initiative to admit your mistakes, I will make the final judgment based on the existing evidence and circumstances, including but not limited to expulsion from school!"

Horikita Manabu directly defined the nature of the dispute, meaning: I have given you enough time and face to negotiate. Since neither of you is willing to reconcile, don't blame me for taking real action.

In fact, everyone present in this dispute already knew what was going on. Class C, which took the initiative to propose "reconciliation", had actually "admitted defeat". At this time, Class D only needed to take advantage of the situation and back off, and everyone would be "happy", of course, except for the students on both sides who were suspended.

But Horikita just 'ignored the overall situation' and insisted on breaking up the relationship, so Class C would naturally not be polite, because as Horikita Manabu said, once Class C was found to have lied and deceived, then it would not be as simple as suspension.

As a result, the dispute review meeting regarding Sudo's fight ended in a bad mood for both sides!

The final development of this review meeting into this situation was indeed beyond many people's expectations. When both parties left, Hikigaya looked at Ayanokouji's back, pondered for a moment, and then sent a message to someone.

Only Hikigaya and the other three were left in the meeting room. At this moment, Horikita Manabu suddenly said, "Hikigaya, want to talk?"

Akane Tachibana was also very good at reading the atmosphere. She said she was a little thirsty and went outside to buy some drinks. Then, only Horikita Manabu and Hikigaya were left in the meeting room.

"You looked very bad just now."

As expected, Horikita Manabu was very perceptive and noticed that something was wrong with Hikigaya when he just entered the meeting room.

"I just haven't gotten enough sleep lately."

Seeing this, Horikita Manabu stopped talking and remained silent for a moment before speaking: "It seems that your class D is very different this year. Suzune should be able to learn a lot from it."

"President, you're not angry?"

Hikigaya asked tentatively.

"Are you trying to say that Suzune was deliberately misled by that student named Ayanokouji?"

Horikita Manabu seemed to see through Hikigaya's thoughts and said without any emotion on his face, "When you are weak, you naturally need to learn from your stronger opponents, absorb nutrients and gradually grow. If you put a wolf among a flock of sheep, although she can easily lead the flock, she can only lead a group of sheep."

Hikigaya couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. Did Horikita Manabu mean that he and Ayanokouji were both wolves?

At the same time, he also understood Horikita Manabu's expectations for his sister, hoping that she could compete with the wolves instead of being complacent among the sheep.

So he didn't care about Ayanokouji's behavior. On the contrary, he was happy to see his sister grow up in this cruel environment. Obviously, Horikita's performance in the review meeting just now still made Horikita Manabu satisfied.

"President, I have a personal question for you. If neither side can produce further decisive evidence tomorrow, which side will you choose?"

Hikigaya suddenly became curious about Horikita Manabu's choice.

Is he leaning towards Class D where his sister is?

Or is it because of Sudou that he's leaning towards Class C?

Even giving both sides a lash of the cane to show fairness and justice?

"Is this result important?"

Horikita Manabu said something that surprised Hikigaya, but the next second he immediately understood what Horikita Manabu meant. From the beginning to the end, what Horikita Manabu really cared about was never the outcome of this dispute, but the growth of Horikita Suzune in this process.

As for Sudo's ending, whether he was suspended from school or dropped out, he actually didn't care. Even Horikita Manabu never took Sudo's existence seriously.

And Hikigaya was also very clear about one thing, that Sudo's ending was actually doomed from the very beginning.

Even if Sudo finally "gets away with it" in this dispute, don't forget that there is still additional punishment from the student council, and Sudo still has to face suspension. So even if Ayanokouji tries to help Sudo in this way, the final result remains the same, and Sudo still cannot enter the official roster of the basketball team.

The only difference is that one is a voluntary withdrawal and the other is a forced withdrawal.

Originally, Hikigaya gave him a way forward. Since Sudo was unwilling to withdraw voluntarily, Hikigaya had to help him choose another way.

Moreover, this dispute had nothing to do with Hikigaya in the first place; it was a matter between the Horikita siblings.

But when Ayanokouji used Sakura and involved her, this matter had a lot to do with Hikigaya!

Sudo, this is just the beginning. If you want to blame someone, blame Ayanokouji!

And, Ayanokouji...

Hikigaya's eyes grew colder.

Chapter 133: The gap between siblings.

After leaving the student council meeting room, Hikigaya received a message from someone on his phone.

"Monitoring equipment?"

Hikigaya looked at the message above and he quickly understood why Horikita finally chose to reject the "reconciliation" offer. Was this her plan?

"So it was Ayanokouji who reminded Horikita?"

Hikigaya recalled the contrast in Horikita's attitude during the meeting. Ayanokouji seemed to have said something that caused Horikita to change from being ready to compromise to refusing to compromise. This was probably a reminder or a guide for Horikita to tinker with the surveillance equipment.

Judging from the information Hikigaya just received, Horikita and others began preparing a lure plan after leaving the meeting room, using the surveillance equipment to lure Class C into a trap, so that they would voluntarily withdraw the accusations against Class D?

"It's a good idea, but... it's a bit too much."

If Hikigaya were to evaluate Horikita's plan, he would think it was a good idea and if it succeeded everything would be fine, but if it failed, the consequences he would face might be more serious than this fight.

And with the little knowledge Hikigaya has about Ryuuen, what happened in the meeting today will definitely reach his ears, and he will definitely be wary.

"It's still too impatient."

Hikigaya shook his head. Horikita's plan was too risky. It was equivalent to exposing his own vital points to Class C. It could be said to be a brilliant plan, but it could also be said to be an unorthodox and too dangerous.

This also shows the gap between Horikita and his brother. From the way he dealt with Sudo, we can see that the method Horikita learned is a righteous strategy. Even if you notice it, it is difficult to resist, and at the same time, he will not put himself in danger.

On the other hand, looking at Horikita's approach this time, one can clearly feel the difference in their patterns.

But Hikigaya could understand it. After all, there was a difference of several years in experience between Horikita and his brother, and their environments and status were completely different, so the "scenery" they saw was also completely different.

Hikigaya stood at the window in the corridor and pondered for a moment, then took out his cell phone, found "Class B" in the group of the contact list, and sent a message to one of them.

A reply came in less than a few seconds. Hikigaya replied, "I have something to talk to you about," and the other party sent a location.

Not long after, Hikigaya saw the other party in the school cafeteria, Kanzaki from Class B and Ichinose who was standing next to him.

"Good evening, Hikigaya-kun. Have you had dinner yet? It's a good idea to join us."

Ichinose seemed to be inviting very enthusiastically, and Kanzaki looked helpless.

"I'm a little hungry too."

Hikigaya nodded in agreement, and then a strange scene appeared where the bottom students of Class D were eating at the same table with the two leaders of Class B.

"Actually, I've always wanted to thank you, Hikigaya-kun. Thanks to your help, the students in our class were able to prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

Ichinose clasped his hands together to express his gratitude to Hikigaya.

Ichinose was laughing about what happened during the midterm exam. At that time, students from Class B often harassed students from other classes, and Class B was the main target of attack from Class C. It was Hikigaya who was in charge of handling and dealing with these harassment incidents. As a result, he gradually became familiar with some students from Class B.

Of course... at that time, Hikigaya felt more that the students in Class B wanted to use him as a 'bodyguard'.

The person Hikigaya just contacted was Kanzaki, the boy next to Ichinose, who was also his competitor in the student council interview.

At that time, Hikigaya felt that the other party seemed to dislike him very much, but he did not expect that now the two of them not only added each other as friends, but even now they eat at the same table together. It can only be said that things are unpredictable and anything can happen.

As for Ichinose, Hikigaya didn't have much contact with her. Apart from that student union interview, Hikigaya and Ichinose didn't have much intersection. The main reason was that Ichinose's communication skills and abilities were too strong. When faced with the harassment from the students in Class C, it was not Hikigaya's turn to step in, and Ichinose could handle it easily.

He also knew that Ichinose was the most popular student among the boys and girls in this freshman class. Why was she one of them? Because the other one was called Yukinoshita Haruno!

Haruno and Ichinose are the two most dazzling and popular students in this freshman class. They are also the "faces" of Class A and Class B respectively. Of course, Ichinose has the identity of "Class B Leader" in addition to Haruno, but Haruno has the identity of "Student Council" in addition to Ichinose.

Any student who has come into contact with Ichinose can feel the pure sincerity from this girl. She is a girl that no one can have any dislike for.

This time, when Sudo was involved in a dispute and fight, Ichinose also helped Class D without hesitation. It can be said that she contributed a lot and also received praise from many students in Class D.

So the topic easily shifted to the recent review meeting, and Hikigaya took the opportunity to speak: "Ichinose, your Class B has helped Class D a lot during this dispute. The review meeting has already ended, so thank you very much for your help so far."

"Hmm~ Hikigaya-kun, do you mean to let this matter end here?"

Ichinose quickly reacted and understood what Hikigaya meant.

Hikigaya nodded. "Although it may be a bit presumptuous, to be honest, Ichinose and your Class B have already helped Class D enough in this matter. But precisely because of this, we can't continue."

"Eh? Why? Is it wrong to help classmates? If you see someone in trouble, you should naturally help if you are able to. You can't turn a blind eye to those in need just because they are in a different class or competitors. That's wrong!"

Ichinose said truthfully.

Kanzaki on the side obviously wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just sighed.

Hikigaya had an air of "I knew it". He had already roughly understood the personality of "Ichinose Honami" during the student council interview. It was precisely because of her pure sincerity that she could say with a clear conscience, "When I meet someone in need, I will lend a hand to help them."

If it were someone else, Hikigaya would definitely sneer at it, but the girl in front of him put it into practice to the end!

"It is precisely for this reason that I hope you, Ichinose, will stop here. You personally carry the trust of other students, so please do not put yourself in danger. This is irresponsible to both yourself and others."

Hikigaya warned with a serious look.
