Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

No, it doesn't seem like it, after all, his combat skills are so high.

Hirata's next words confirmed Kamio Tatsuya's guess.

The new victim of bullying is his classmate.

Hirata then took action, which was what Kamio Tatsuya was concerned about, and this matter was likely related to the reason why Hirata was assigned to Class D.

“At that time, blinded by anger, I took action…” Hirata became very serious as he said this, “I used terror to control the entire class.”

What the hell!

Kamio Tatsuya was startled, but he also felt that it was reasonable. If Hirata had such high combat strength, it seemed that it was not impossible for him to do so.

Not only Hirata, but even Ayanokouji was startled.

Because, in any case, judging from Hirata's behavior since entering school, he is by no means the kind of person who would do such a thing.

"Although I'm not as good at fighting as Sudo and Ryuen, there aren't many people who can seriously beat others, so even if I throw a punch seriously, no one can fight back."

Hirata is right, there aren't many people who can fight seriously, let alone teenagers.

Generally speaking, many people are not only afraid of being hit when they fight, but also afraid of the consequences of winning.

For example, what if I hit someone too hard and kill them?

So whether you're being hit or hitting someone, it takes courage.

However, Kamio Tatsuya felt that Hirata was definitely being modest. After all, you're someone who can beat Ishizaki and the other two!

Never underestimate yourself!

Just as Kamio Tatsuya was thinking this, Ayanokouji stood up from the bench and walked towards where Kamio Tatsuya was hiding.

"How long do you plan to hide?"

Tatsuya Kamio looked up and saw Ayanokoji looking down at him.

"Kamio-kun?"

Hirata was also quite surprised that Kamio Tatsuya was there.

"Heh, heh heh." Kamio Tatsuya laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just passed by here on my way back to change."

As he spoke, he pointed to the coffee stains on his pants.

"Where did you start listening to that?"

“Probably at the beginning.” Kamio Tatsuya smiled, then looked at Hirata. “But I’m still a little surprised that you did something like that, Hirata.”

After being teased by Tatsuya Kamio, Hirata smiled again, albeit a wry one.

"Later, I instilled equal fear in everyone through violence, and ruled the entire grade by force. Only I stood at the top."

I placed all the remaining students at the bottom, so that if any disputes arose between them, I would intervene and impose equal punishment and pain on both sides.

Hearing this, even someone with no brains could guess what happened next.

"As a result, although your school has gained a brief period of peace, this abnormal peace will surely attract the school's attention, won't it?"

“You act as if you saw it with your own eyes.” Hirata nodded, his expression complicated. “Later, things got so out of hand that the school reassigned everyone in the entire grade to different classes, and then everyone, including me, was placed under strict surveillance until graduation.”

At this point, both Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokouji understood why Hirata was so dejected.

"So, what you can't accept isn't Chi's expulsion from school, but the attacks on Chi by the students in the class, right?"

Since Chi dropped out of school, his classmates have treated him as a joke, and almost everyone has been talking badly about him.

Hirata nodded, then looked at Kamio Tatsuya.

"Kamio, I want to know, if it were you, if you encountered something like this, if your friend was bullied, what would you do? Would you stand by and watch the bullying happen?"

Kamio Tatsuya felt a sense of bewilderment.

Why are you asking me?

Hirata did not answer, but stared intently at Kamio Tatsuya.

"Yes, I will intervene."

Tatsuya Kamio didn't have any male friends in this world, so he put himself in their shoes and imagined what would happen if Kamuro or Shiina were bullied like that.

He's kind enough not to kill the instigator.

"If that's the case, why did you instruct Karuizawa to find out who the accomplice in the upskirt filming incident was?"

Kamio Tatsuya paused for a moment, clearly not expecting Hirata to know that he was the one who had orchestrated this.

Has it already been exposed?

After all, the other person is Karuizawa, and Hirata knows her very well, but I still feel that you look down on Karuizawa a bit...

But Hirata really does spill everything.

If it were just Hirata, admitting it directly wouldn't be a problem, but since Ayanokouji is here...

“I didn’t instruct Karuizawa, and I can’t instruct her either. I just sent her this method using an anonymous account, since she was the one who was making the most noise at the time.”

Clearly, Hirata wasn't concerned with why Karuizawa would say that, but rather with why Kamio Tatsuya would use Karuizawa to explain this method.

"Why? Don't you understand? If this gets out, Yamauchi and the other villagers..."

Before Hirata could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Kamio Tatsuya.

"They might be bullied too, right? In fact, I heard that they haven't been doing too well in Class D these days."

Hirata opened his mouth, completely surprised that Kamio Tatsuya would say these words so casually yet so seriously.

"Don't get this wrong, Hirata. Even if Yamauchi and Sotomura are bullied because of this, it's completely unrelated to your friend's situation."

Looking at Hirata, Tatsuya Kamio continued speaking.

"I don't know why your friend is being bullied. Even if he did something wrong at the beginning, it has changed since it became one-sided bullying."

But this situation is different now. Ike, as the main perpetrator of the upskirt filming, was expelled from school and received the punishment he deserved. But what about Sotomura and Yamauchi? What punishment did they receive?

Hirata opened his mouth, then said dryly, "Their personal points were confiscated."

"Heh, confiscating all personal points, that's quite a 'heavy' punishment," Kamio Tatsuya said sarcastically. "When the points were confiscated, the combined points of Sotomura and Yamauchi were less than 20,000."

Then on the first of this month, they each received 500,000 personal points, which seemed like a ridiculous punishment to me.

To be honest, if the punishment for the inner and outer villages were changed to: not being able to earn any private points for the next two and a half years...

Kamio Tatsuya felt that this was only slightly more normal.

The result is just a deduction of your current personal points, are you kidding me?

"You did something wrong, but you didn't receive the punishment you deserved. Hirata, do you think that's right?"

"Even so, shouldn't the severity of this punishment be determined by you?"

Seeing Hirata arguing his case, Kamio Tatsuya smiled again.

"Hehe, you're right. It shouldn't be up to me to make that judgment, so I didn't do anything. I just suggested that the school publish their names."

This is something many students are asking for. After all, living next to a person who takes upskirt photos, I don't think anyone could sleep well, right?

"But if we do that, it will affect Yamauchi and the others..."

"What does that have to do with me? Did I do something wrong? Like forcing them to take photos secretly?" Kamio Tatsuya looked puzzled. "Even if they get bullied because of it, they deserve it, right?"

In short, he looks like he deserves to be punched.

After learning about Hirata's true nature, Kamio Tatsuya no longer had as many reservations when facing Hirata.

Moreover, after the chairman's special training, although he couldn't guarantee that he could defeat Hirata, escaping would definitely not be a problem.

As for Ayanokouji, he was speechless. If you hadn't reported it to the student council, how could there have been so many problems?

I only chose to help you because I believed your lies!

However, Ayanokouji couldn't bring himself to tell anyone about it, because he was the one who had told Kamio Tatsuya about it.

"By the way, instead of worrying about this kind of thing here, you should pay more attention to how the students in the class are doing," Tatsuya Kamio deliberately reminded him.

"You mean... Yamauchi and Soto-mura?"

"The reason I suggested exposing them is because you're in this class, Hirata. You can definitely protect them, right?"

Tatsuya Kamio's eyes were filled with sincerity.

Then, Hirata's eyes were filled with determination once again.

"I will absolutely not allow them to be bullied."

good, very good.

In this way, Hirata is now completely on the opposite side of the girls in Class D.

Yamauchi and Sotomura did something wrong but were not punished by the school. Not only that, Hirata even protected them.

So what will happen to Class D?

On the surface, nothing might happen in front of Hirata; at most, he would just ignore those two people.

However, once external pressure is applied...

What will happen then?

It's really hard to predict.

No, perhaps even Hirata, who is on their side, will be rejected by the girls.

Who knows, we might even find an opportunity to get Hirata expelled from school as well.

Once Class D loses Hirata, they probably won't be able to advance to the next class, hehehe!

The plan goes through!

At this moment, Tatsuya Kamio thought that it might have been a good thing not to have them all expelled from school before. However, one of these guys is enough; two are a bit too many.

How about we just have Yamauchi drop out of school for the next midterm exam?

Well, if you guys are willing to pay for me to pass, that's not a bad idea. I just don't know how much money Class D will have left by then.

Besides, wouldn't a large portion of Class D be unwilling to raise money for Yamauchi, the voyeur? Will Hirata be able to persuade those guys then?

That's hilarious, hahaha!

As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Tatsuya Kamio's lips.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Watching Tatsuya Kamio's departing figure, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji gradually felt a bad premonition.

Chapter 184 A Plan to Turn the Tables?

Ayanokoji and Hirata watched as Tatsuya Kamio left.

"Hirata, I have a feeling that Tatsuya Kamio might do something during the next midterm exam."

"What did you say?"

"You shouldn't have forgotten, right? Yamauchi and Sudo had an obligation to replace Kamio, who was expelled for failing the exam."

"You mean..." Hirata's tone became somewhat dry, "You mean, he'll deliberately fail the exam and then get Yamauchi or Sudo expelled?"

Ayanokouji nodded silently. If it were before summer vacation, he probably wouldn't have thought that way, but after what happened at the pond, he had come to understand Kamio Tatsuya a little better.

"But didn't he say he wouldn't deliberately fail the test?"

Hirata still couldn't believe it.

"That was just a verbal agreement, right? Anyway, you need to be prepared."

Upon hearing Ayanokouji's words, Hirata fell silent, but at the same time, he also felt that it was not impossible.

After leaving the small garden, Tatsuya Kamio felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

The reason he intervened in this matter was actually to sabotage Ayanokouji's plans.

Since he was there just now, he must have wanted to pull Hirata back on track, or to put it bluntly, he wanted Hirata to be his dog.

Tatsuya Kamio had no doubt that Ayanokouji possessed such abilities.

If Ayanokouji manages to subdue Hirata, then dealing with Class D might become more difficult in the future.

Judging from Ayanokouji's appearance, it seems he intends to continue working for Class D. Is it because he is worried about Chabashira's coercion?
