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

The brief encounter had already made Ryuen realize that the Koenji in front of him was probably not like him.

"Oh dear, what happened that led to this large gathering of people? Isn't this a rather interesting group?"

Looking back, Sakayanagi appeared there with Kamuro, Hashimoto, and Kito.

Upon seeing Kamuro, Tatsuya Kamio immediately smiled and waved to her, but Kamuro turned her head away immediately.

Oh dear, she's actually shy! How cute!

"Hmph, who do we have here? Sakayanagi, you've got a good timing for your entrance."

Long Yuan snorted dismissively.

"You've misunderstood me. I was just passing by."

You just happened to be passing by with three bodyguards, right?

Haha, so Sakayanagi, you know where your weakness lies too.

However, it is clear that neither Class C nor Class D believes this to be a coincidence.

Chapter 216 The Strange Ayanokouji

The appearance of Sakayanagi temporarily diverted the attention of the students in Class C and Class D.

Kamio Tatsuya responded to Sakayanagi's words immediately.

"Sakayanagi, we have no grudge against each other, why do you treat me like a fool? My appearance here by chance... Do you think everyone here will believe me?"

Or are you going to declare war on both Class C and Class D at the same time?

With just one sentence, Tatsuya Kamio forcibly linked Class C and Class D together, at least in this matter.

Even if the people in Class D didn't mind at first, they had to take a stand after Tatsuya Kamio said that, otherwise wouldn't they be admitting that they were fools?

Therefore, what Sakayanagi is about to say is very important.

Should they insist that it was just a chance encounter, or should they change the subject to indirectly admit defeat?

The smile on Sakayanagi's face was slightly stiff at this moment.

She just wanted to find a reason to interfere in today's events, but Tatsuya Kamio's words almost made her lose face.

"Oh, actually I saw that it was quite lively here and thought you guys were having a party, so I called my friends to come and take a look."

Several students present could tell that Sakayanagi had given in.

However, this guy has also become more flexible, defusing Tatsuya Kamio's attack with just one sentence.

"Really? It's just that our prices are a bit high, and I'm afraid you might not be able to handle it."

"In that case, I'll just stay quiet and be a bystander."

As he spoke, Sakayanagi actually sat down on the bench next to him and quietly looked at Ryuen.

Seeing that Kamio Tatsuya had temporarily dismissed Sakayanagi, Ryuen turned his attention back to Koenji.

"Although some unrelated people have barged in, let's get down to business now."

"Serious business? I don't recall doing anything wrong."

Koenji remained unchanged, and even the students in Class D couldn't understand Ryuenji's true intentions.

“Last week, someone slipped a letter into the first-year students’ mailboxes. The letter used my name to accuse Ichinose of collecting points through underhanded means. You haven’t forgotten about that, have you?”

Ryuen looked toward Koenji.

"Really?" Koenji stroked his hair. "It seems there is such a thing, but what does it have to do with me?"

"You did that, didn't you?"

Ryuen stared intently at Koenji's reaction.

"Wait, Ryuen, are you saying you didn't do that?" Horikita asked from the crowd of Class D in the distance.

"Rin, I've never admitted to doing that!"

A cold smile crept across Ryuen's lips, then he glanced at Horikita Suzune...

And next to her was Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Although no one else noticed that Ryuen was looking at Ayanokouji, Ayanokouji herself felt it very directly.

He immediately came to the conclusion that Longyuan had found out he was the one who put the letter in the mailbox.

However, he didn't look for himself, but instead went to Koenji.

Does he think I'm just a tool, and that the real person who's doing this is actually the hidden Koenji?

That's why he came to cause trouble for Koenji?

"I see." Koenji nodded. "You think it's me who ruined your reputation by doing this."

"Yes."

"Although I am very dissatisfied with your suspicions, I still have to tell you honestly that I would never do such an unseemly thing."

Because I have no interest in other people's affairs, all I want to do at this school is fall into all sorts of romances with beautiful women and improve each other, while constantly pursuing my own beauty.

So, you've got the wrong person, Drgon Boy.

Drgon Boy...

Tatsuya Kamio's smile gradually deepened.

"Really? If it wasn't you, then who do you think it could be? I can tell you, according to my investigation, that person is in Class D."

"In Class D..."

Koenji looked at Horikita and the others who were standing not far away.

"Now that you've found that person in Class D, Drgon Boy, why not continue the investigation?"

Sakayanagi's words made Kamio Tatsuya look at her with new respect.

Wow, Sakayanagi, you're so brave! Do you really think the people you brought can keep you safe?

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall; how can you not understand this principle?

"Shut up, Sakayanagi. If you dare call me that again, I'll kill you."

"Hehe, don't you like it? I think it's a great name." Sakayanagi said with a grin. "After our conversation, I understand it now."

"Ryuen, you're looking for the guy who framed you, huh? But how can you be so sure that person is in Class D?"

"Ha, you can't even think of such a reason. Sakayanagi, you're really getting more and more backward as you get older."

Ryuen glanced at Sakayanagi with disdain, then refused to answer her question.

"Well, I'm not as good at finding people as you are, Drgon Boy."

Before Sakayanagi's voice had even finished, Ryuen quickly closed the distance between them and then kicked Sakayanagi in the face without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Kamio Tatsuya was also startled. He really didn't expect Ryuen to attack Sakayanagi. He was far away at the moment and had no way to stop him.

However, during the Dragon Garden operation, Hashimoto of the squad took action, not only blocking Sakayanagi from all sides, but also extending his left arm for defense.

As a result, although he blocked it with his left arm, the powerful impact of the kick sent him flying, and he crashed directly onto the concrete ground.

At that moment, another boy from the same class, Kito Hayato, immediately stood in front of Sakayanagi, facing Ryuen, while Kamuro pulled Sakayanagi aside.

The atmosphere immediately became tense.

"Looks like I've upset you?"

"I should have said that if you call me that again I'll kill you."

Longyuan speaks authentically, word by word.

"That's enough." Horikita, who was present, couldn't stand it any longer. "You all need to stop this. If this continues, there will be big problems. Kamio, as the vice president of the student council, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

However, it wasn't Tatsuya Kamio who answered Horikita, but Sakayanagi, who had just almost been beaten up.

"What just happened, Hashimoto-kun?"

"No, I just tripped and fell."

Hashimoto brushed the dust off his clothes and said nonchalantly.

He fell down to dissipate the force; if he had chosen to endure it, there was a way out.

"Did you hear that, Horikita-kun? That's what he said," Sakayanagi said with a smile.

"Hmm... You guys and Ryuen-kun are all abnormal."

Horikita was speechless. Compared to them, Sudo was not a bad student at all.

"Alright, that's enough. Although this year's student council is more tolerant of fighting, it's no joke if someone gets killed."

With the strength of Longyuan, they absolutely could not have defended against that attack.

If Hashimoto hadn't blocked it for Sakayanagi, he would have definitely landed squarely on Sakayanagi's face.

Given Sakayanagi's frail physique, taking that kick would leave him either dead or crippled.

At that time, Ryuen will not only be expelled from school, but will also face accountability from the Sakayanagi family.

The fact that the Sakayanagi family can serve as the chairman of the board of directors at this school means that Ryuen's family must be quite powerful. It is likely that Ryuen will spend the rest of his life in misery.

"Everyone says the Sakayanagi family has produced a genius, but now it seems that the reputation is somewhat undeserved, Little Girl."

The atmosphere here was still tense when Koenji started his mocking mode again, only this time the target was Sakayanagi.

Moreover, judging from what he said, he seemed to know about Sakayanagi's background.

"Heh, Little Girl? Koenji, I admit your naming taste is questionable."

Ryuen responded with a sarcastic remark about Sakayanagi calling him "Drgon Boy."

"Koenji, you're using English incorrectly. In terms of usage, 'Little Girl' is a term that's only used to describe young girls in elementary school."

Watching Sakayanagi give a serious, methodical reply to Koenji, Kamio Tatsuya almost died laughing. This guy really cares about his physique.

"It's not you who decides this, it's me. This isn't a wrong way to use it. As long as you're the age and body type that should be called a girl, I'll call you that."

Sure enough, this guy's speaking style is really similar to that of the second-year Kiryuin upperclassman.

If the timing hadn't been so inappropriate, Kamio Tatsuya would have really wanted to ask Koenji if he knew Kiryuin Fuka.

"This world won't allow you to do whatever you want."

"Not being bound by common sense is my style."

Koenji brushed her hair upwards with the wind.

However, his act of treating Sakayanagi as nothing aroused the dissatisfaction of someone.

“...You’d better stop now, Koenji.”

Perhaps to uphold the dignity of his superior, the ghost stepped forward and made a gesture of removing his gloves.

"Oh? Are you going to make a move?" Kamio Tatsuya, always eager for a good show, said, "But, kid, I advise you to team up with Hashimoto, otherwise Koenji might take you down in an instant."

"You really don't think much of Kito-kun, Kamio-kun?"

Sakayanagi turned to look at Kamio Tatsuya.

"Because I've been training with the former student council president recently, although I'm not absolutely confident in my abilities, I can at least tell who will win."

Kamio Tatsuya was just trying to show that his judgment was sound, but Horikita looked at him with envy.

The demon head next to him also looked over at Kamio Tatsuya and found that although Kamio Tatsuya's posture was casual, there were basically no flaws, so he was probably a master.

Seeing that the atmosphere had frozen again, Long Yuan spoke up at this moment.

"So? Do you want to fight? If not, I'm leaving now."

This left the students in Class D completely dumbfounded.

No, didn't this conflict originate from you?

"So, you're certain that I'm not the culprit, is that right?"

"That's right, this is none of your business, you can leave."

"Well, my date is about to start, see you."

Koenji wasn't angry about Ryuen's attitude; it was clear he genuinely wasn't interested in first-year matters.
