In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

Karuizawa... Could she be made of paper?

Thinking of this, Tatsuya Kamio's expression became somewhat strange.

The three members of Class C, especially Manabe, who had received verbal support from Tatsuya Kamio, were incredibly smug at that moment.

"See? Now we even have a witness. How about you come with me later and obediently apologize to Pear Blossom?"

As she spoke, Shiho Manabe grabbed Karuizawa's arm, and it was this action that seemed to stimulate Karuizawa.

"Do not touch me!"

Karuizawa suddenly swung her arm, causing Manabe to lose her balance. If it weren't for the two girls behind her, Manabe would probably be lying on the ground right now.

"Manabe!"

What are you doing?

Manabe, having regained his composure, was now seething with anger, and felt an urge to start a fight with Karuizawa at the slightest provocation.

Karuizawa seemed not to have expected things to turn out this way. Her actions were merely a conditioned reflex, and by the time she realized what had happened, it had almost led to disaster.

But now that things have come to this, there's no room for her to back down.

"This is not my fault. She was the one who started it."

This statement was like igniting a powder keg.

Although it was Manabe who grabbed Karuizawa Megumi's arm first, she only grabbed her arm; Kamio Tatsuya didn't even see her exert any force.

The reason for this situation is that Karuizawa's reaction was too strong.

but……

That's what makes it fun! Let's fight!

Chapter 144 Tsk, Dragon Garden is truly terrifying.

Karuizawa Kei is the central figure among the girls in Class D. Like Kushida, she holds a high position among the girls and is always surrounded by a group of lackeys. She also has a rather assertive personality.

But if you were to list everything she did for Class D...

Then all I can say is that there's nothing there.

During the midterm exams, Hirata and Kushida organized the study sessions, and Horikita helped the three idiots with their tutoring, even though her own grades were pretty bad.

Then, when Sudo was fighting, Kushida was basically the one running around taking care of things, while she didn't do anything.

Then, on the deserted island, her underwear went missing...

Then it became known to everyone in Class D, causing quite a stir.

If she had no room to maneuver before, that incident could be seen as a golden opportunity bestowed upon her by heaven.

As a result, not only did she miss the opportunity, but Class D almost split up because of this incident.

Upon closer examination, she had made absolutely no contribution to the class, yet a group of people in the class still supported her.

However, this is not surprising when considering another matter.

She is Hirata's girlfriend.

Hirata's role in Class D is obvious; even Kamio Tatsuya cannot deny it.

If it weren't for Hirata acting as a mediator, Class D would probably have already fallen apart; Kushita alone couldn't have stabilized the situation.

So, did Karuizawa secure her position among the girls by using Hirata?

According to Kushida, a significant number of the girls seem to really like Hirata.

If that's the case, why bother trying to please Karuizawa Megumi?

Is it because you're afraid that if Karuizawa dislikes you, Hirata will dislike you as well?

Tsk, judging by Xiao Rizi's thought process...

It's not impossible...

Just as Tatsuya Kamio was pondering these things, Shiho Manabe, along with two students from Class C, began to approach Karuizawa.

Of course, Ibuki wasn't among them. Just like Kamio Tatsuya, he sat in the corner watching the show from the beginning, with no intention of making a move.

However, given how things have developed, naturally some people couldn't stand by and watch.

"Alright, let's stop here."

As expected, Ichinose stood up from her seat and stood between the two.

"We're all in the same group, so let's not make things too bad."

Knowing that Kaneda was a spy, Ichinose was undoubtedly a kind-hearted person, so she couldn't possibly stand by and watch violence happen in front of her.

"What you're doing will affect other people, so let's calm down for now."

However, Manabe, who almost embarrassed himself just now, clearly has no intention of letting the matter rest.

"This is a matter between Class C and Class D. Could you please not meddle in other people's business?"

However, as soon as she said that, Kamio Tatsu indicated that he had something to say as well.

"This isn't just a matter between Class C and Class D. Don't let individual behavior escalate to the level of the entire class. Are you planning on starting a group fight?"

Shiho Manabe looked at Tatsuya Kamio with disbelief in her eyes.

Didn't you just speak up for me?

How could it happen so suddenly...?

"You think that just because I said a couple of fair things, I'm on your side? Are you out of your mind?" Tatsuya Kamio found this guy hilarious, utterly adorably stupid!

"What did you say?"

Longyuan, although we're not teammates yet, let me discipline your subordinates for you.

If we let these guys run wild, they'll cause trouble for Class C sooner or later.

"What? You want to beat up Karuizawa here?"

"Huh? This has nothing to do with you, right?"

A playful smile played on Kamio Tatsuya's face.

"It really doesn't matter. In fact, I'd much rather you did it."

The three men, including Manabe, looked at each other, wondering what Kamio Tatsu was saying.

Meanwhile, Karuizawa, who was opposite them, looked at Kamio Tatsuya with an incredulous gaze. In her wide, round eyes, besides disbelief, there was also deep fear.

This guy……

It's just getting beaten up, is it really necessary?

Didn't they know this was the perfect opportunity to use a self-inflicted injury tactic?

"Well, three against one is definitely bullying. Even if you don't get expelled, Class C's class points will be heavily deducted. How will Dragon Garden deal with you then?"

Looking at Manabe and the other two, Tatsuya Kamio's face was filled with malice.

Drop out of school?

Was Longyuan dealt with?

Hearing these words, Manabe and the other two couldn't help but shudder. It seemed that Ryuen's terrifying rule over Class C was quite effective.

"Are you scared already? To be honest, I've never seen Ryuen hit a woman before. Ibuki-san, why don't you share your thoughts with them?"

Ibuki, who was innocently implicated, was completely bewildered.

Damn it, how did this get involved with me?

And isn't it a bit impolite to reopen old wounds here, you jerk!

However, Ibuki and Manabe's relationship was clearly not good, so he also showed a cold smile, preparing to scare this guy.

"Yes, I was unlucky enough to get punched by Long Yuan once, and my face was swollen for several days."

Then, Tatsuya Kamio clearly saw that the faces of Manabe and the other two gradually turned pale, and even their bodies began to tremble slightly.

Just then, the bell rang to signal the end of the discussion.

After exchanging glances, the three men, including Manabe, immediately fled the room as if they were escaping.

Are these guys about to pee their pants from fear?

Does Ryuen's bad reputation have that much effect on Class C?

Seeing this, Tatsuya Kamio shook his head.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Dragon Garden is truly terrifying."

"No, I think you're the scary one, aren't you?" Ibuki retorted, then left the room.

After the group disbanded, Tatsuya Kamio and Ayanokoji walked side by side down the street.

"Kamio, don't you think... Karuizawa..."

"It's weird."

Kamio Tatsuya casually chimed in.

However, Karuizawa's behavior was more than just strange; it completely overturned everyone's image of her.

Do you know her?

Tatsuya Kamio looked at Ayanokouji and felt that his intelligence seemed a little off today.

Why do you think I would understand Karuizawa?

It's as if I've bullied Hirata; you can't say that.

"Should we talk to Hirata?"

"Whatever you want, I'm not interested in this for now."

Kamio Tatsuya waved his hand.

Instead of wasting time investigating Karuizawa, we might as well go hang out with Kamuro and Shiina.

"However, you seem to care a lot about Karuizawa?"

Ayanokouji nodded.

"As the core figure among the girls in Class D, Karuizawa needs to play a role if we want Class D to continue to improve."

"You really are dedicated to Class D."

Kamio Tatsuya's expression was complicated. Just how afraid was this guy of being expelled?

Chapter 145 Sakura: I Want to Stand with Him

After being teased by Tatsuya Kamio, Ayanokoji looked at him with a hint of resentment.

No, why are you looking at me like that?

"It's all because you shone so brightly in these two exams that I was threatened by someone again."

Um, I'm really sorry.

Kamio Tatsuya looked at Ayanokouji with sympathy; this guy had it tough too.

But doesn't he have any thoughts about transferring classes?

Well, I've already given him the chance. If he can't seize it, there's nothing I can do.

As for whether he has the ability to raise 20 million from students...

Kamio Tatsuya had no doubt that if Chabashira Saeko didn't even have this much ability, then he would be blind. This was a good thing!

After the two parted ways, Kamio Tatsuya wandered around the ship, and when he passed the stern, he heard a familiar sigh.

"Ugh……"

Why are you always sighing whenever I see you?

Tatsuya Kamio's sudden outburst startled Airi Sakura, causing her to fumble for her phone, which slipped from her hand and bounced twice on the deck before heading out to sea.

"Ah! My phone!"

Pfft!
