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

"I reject."

Before Ike and Yamauchi could agree, Tatsuya Kamio gave his answer first.

"This...this has nothing to do with you, right?"

"How can it be unrelated?" Tatsuya Kamio retorted. "That letter was originally written to me, which means that the other party's target was originally me. Just because I didn't suffer any real harm doesn't mean it's unrelated to me, right?"

If they aren't punished properly, they'll target me again next time. To avoid this, they must be severely punished.

Kamio Tatsuya's words immediately drew angry glares from Ishizaki and the others from Class C.

"See? They never learn their lesson. I think we should just take this opportunity to expel them from school. Otherwise, they might find a secluded place to beat you up again sometime."

Kamio Tatsuya gestured towards Ishizaki, and Yamauchi and Ike shuddered when they saw the fierce looks in Ishizaki's eyes.

Seeing this, Chabashira Sae knew that a private settlement was probably not going to work out.

Meanwhile, Horikita Manabu, who was organizing a study session for Class 3-A, also received the ruling on the matter.

When he saw Tatsuya Kamio's name, he immediately felt that this matter was probably related to him.

After some thought, Horikita Manabu greeted his classmates and then left the classroom with Tachibana Akane, the student council secretary.

Meanwhile, after exchanging opinions, the two teachers decided that no matter what the real situation was, they had to resolve the matter today.

Soon after, the group marched in a large procession toward the student council office.

Because there were two teachers present, and because any further misbehavior could easily jeopardize what was to come, everyone present behaved themselves exceptionally well.

Soon, the group arrived outside an office. Kamio Tatsuya had been here once before; it was here when he beat up Yamauchi.

Chabashira knocked on the door of the student council office and then stepped inside. Sakagami and several students followed suit.

Upon entering the office, Tatsuya Kamio noticed that student council president Manabu Horikita and student council secretary Akane Tachibana were sitting in the main seats, seemingly having been waiting for a while.

"Regarding the violence that occurred at school today, we will now begin an interactive meeting between the student council, those involved, and class advisors. I, the student council secretary, will be in charge of this meeting."

After saying this, he simply nodded to indicate that they could begin.

"In that case, let's start by finding out the truth."

With the midterm exams just around the corner, Horikita Manabu was eager to finish as soon as possible.

"Which of you will go first?"

As soon as Horikita finished speaking, Chabashira Sae raised her hand to indicate that she had something to say.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Chabashira."

"Based on my previous inquiries, the situation today is as follows..."

Then, Teacher Chazhu began to explain the whole story.

Actually, it's not complicated. First of all, Tatsuya Kamio received a love letter today, asking him to meet at the special teaching building after school.

Then Ike and Yamauchi suspected that this was not a love letter written to Tatsuya Kamio.

So, while Kamio Tatsuya was away, he stole the love letters Kamio Tatsuya had received and even opened and read them without permission.

After confirming that the love letter was indeed written to Tatsuya Kamio, the two wanted to sabotage the meeting, so they arrived at the special teaching building before Tatsuya Kamio.

However, the person waiting here was not Shiina, the signatory of the love letter, but Ishizaki and his two classmates from Class C.

Then, Ishizaki, still harboring resentment over what happened before, beat up Yamauchi severely, while Ike tried to escape but was also beaten up by the other two.

During this time, someone sent Hirata an anonymous text message saying that Ike and Yamauchi from Class D were being beaten up by people from Class C.

Hirata then went to the special teaching building, and in order to protect Ike and Yamauchi, who had been assaulted, Hirata got into a fight with the three from Class C.

While they were fighting, Ike took out his phone and notified Chashu-sensei.

Afterwards, Tatsuya Kamio, who was delayed because he couldn't find the love letter, and Chabashira-sensei, who received her request for help, arrived one after the other.

As for Sakagami-sensei, she was informed by Chabashira-sensei on her way there.

"Then, that crucial love letter?"

As expected of the student council president, he immediately identified the crux of the problem.

"Here, here."

Yamauchi took out the somewhat crumpled love letter from his pocket.

Upon seeing the letter, the members of Class C's camp immediately turned pale; things were in trouble.

Then, Akane Tachibana took the love letter and presented it to Manabu Horikita as evidence.

After confirming the contents, Horikita Manabu signaled to Tachibana Akane to give the item to Kamio Tatsuya for confirmation.

"Is this the letter you received?"

Tatsuya Kamio picked up the envelope, checked it once, and then nodded.

"The content is the same."

“In that case, it seems necessary to summon this student named Shiina.” Horikita Manabu made his first decision. “Could you please ask Sakagami-sensei to call Shiina over?”

“No need!” At this moment, Ishizaki suddenly raised his hand and interjected, “That letter was forged by me and has nothing to do with Shiina-kun.”

Upon hearing this, Kamio Tatsuya narrowed his eyes. Was this guy planning to shoulder this responsibility alone?

Is Longyuan planning to sacrifice a pawn to save the king?

"Why do this?"

When asked this question, Ishizaki glared at Tatsuya Kamio with resentment.

“Because, because…” Ishizaki stammered, “Because I… like… Shiina-kun, but Shiina-kun is getting close to that guy, so I wanted to warn him to stay away from Shiina.”

Haha, a toad trying to eat swan meat, do you think Shiina would even look at you?

Horikita Manabu, sitting in the main seat, was speechless after hearing Ishizaki's confession. What was all this about? Was he a primary school student?

As for why Ishizaki attacked Yamauchi, he had learned about it from the previous account.

He was scammed out of 100,000 points by a staged accident in the mountains.

This leaves only one question: who sent the anonymous text message to Hirata?

Horikita glanced at Kamio Tatsuya. This matter seemed to have nothing to do with him, but in reality, he was involved in every link of the chain.

Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things.

What happened next was simple: Hirata received an anonymous text message, and in order to protect his classmates, he ran from the classroom to the special teaching building and even got into a fight with Ishizaki and the others.

Many people can attest to this.

After learning the truth, Horikita Manabu also delivered his verdict on the matter.

"First, Yamauchi and Ike committed theft and will be suspended from school for five days starting today. Then each of them must submit a 5,000-word self-criticism."

Faced with this verdict, Ike and Yamauchi opened their mouths, wanting to refute it, but they couldn't come up with any useful arguments. In the end, they could only accept the verdict dejectedly.

"The three students in Class C deliberately provoked trouble. They will be suspended from school for one week starting today and must submit a 10,000-word self-criticism. In addition, Class C will have 200 class points deducted."

Hirata from Class D participated in the fight, but because he did it to protect his classmates, he was not punished.

above. "

That's it?

Such a heinous act only resulted in a suspension from school?

I thought they would expel someone directly, but I didn't expect them to be treated so lightly.

Haha, the school rules here are surprisingly lenient.

interesting.

Chapter 58 Kamio Tatsuya: Actually, yesterday was an accident.

Seeing that no one objected to the verdict, the matter was considered closed.

"If there are no objections, everyone can go back now. Kamio Tatsuya, please stay behind."

Ok?

Are you leaving me here?

What do you mean?

Although Tatsuya Kamio didn't understand, he remained seated and didn't move.

The others gradually left the student council office.

"Ju, you can go out first. I want to talk to him alone."

"Huh? Am I going out too?"

Akane was a little surprised, but she nodded nonetheless.

After Akane Tachibana left, Manabu Horikita finally spoke up: "You orchestrated all of this, didn't you?"

"Me?" Tatsuya Kamio looked innocent. "Even if you're the student council president, you can't wrong me like this, president."

"First, there is this letter."

Horikita Manabu picked up the love letter that was being used as evidence.

"Judging from the handwriting, it should have been written by a girl, and she was also wearing perfume. This is probably the same perfume as that girl."

However, I also know about the outstanding first-year students. According to the information, Shiina is a student with excellent humanities grades, but the content of this letter has obvious grammatical errors.

Therefore, this letter certainly wasn't written by that child named Shiina; I don't believe you can't tell that.

Listening to Horikita Manabu's analysis, Kamio Tatsuya remained silent, though he was actually quite surprised.

As expected of the student council president, she was able to spot the flaw immediately even without knowing much about Shiina. Impressive.

"Then there's the matter of the stolen love letters. Although I don't know how you managed to get those two people to steal the love letters from you, based on my understanding of you, you wouldn't let something so important be stolen so easily, would you?"

At this point, Tatsuya Kamio's smile vanished. "This guy's got me cornered."

Horikita's tone gradually turned into admiration.

"The students in Class C used their charms on you, and after seeing through their scheme, you immediately shifted the blame elsewhere. But there's one thing I don't understand: why did you text Hirata and tell him to go to the special teaching building?"

"Oh? Are you so sure that I was the one who sent the anonymous text message?"

"Don't underestimate the power of the student council president."

Kamio Tatsuya was speechless; so that was where the problem lay.

"What kind of person does the president think Hirata is?"

Instead of directly answering Horikita Manabu's question, Kamio Tatsu asked him a question in return.

"Based on the information, he should be a good student who is excellent in both character and academics and is always willing to help others."

“These two words are not enough to describe Hirata’s excellence.” Kamio Tatsuya shook his head. “Not only is he excellent in academics and sports, but he is also outstanding in social skills. Most importantly, he is very friendly to everyone.”

To be honest, I've never seen such an outstanding student. How could such a student be placed in Class D? President, don't you think that's terrifying?

Having said all that, Horikita Manabu naturally understood Kamio Tatsuya's meaning.

And it wasn't just him; there was also Kushida, who was similar in appearance.

To be honest, Tatsuya Kamio felt a lot of psychological pressure when he was in class with these people.

I just want to spend these three years peacefully, is that a problem?

Why is everyone against me?!

Horikita Manabu, on the other hand, was impressed by Kamio Tatsuya's performance.

This tactic of diverting the blame not only neutralized Class C's offensive but also taught a lesson to the guy he disliked, tested Hirata, and ultimately made Class C, who had attacked him, pay the price.

It's truly impressive that they came up with a plan that kills at least four birds with one stone in such a short time.

But you just said they have big problems. In my opinion, the biggest problem is you, Tatsuya Kamio!

According to the school's investigation, you were just an average student with very poor performance in all areas, and being assigned to Class D was definitely not a mistake on the school's part.

What you've done now has really surprised me.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now, because I still need to prepare for my exam."
