"How dare you come looking for Fan Bo? Haven't those rumors you spread hurt Fan Bo enough? How dare you come here to provoke us? Do you really think that we in Class B are weak?"

Tianyin frowned at the other party's words.

It was not because of her brutal attitude, but because the sentence that Tianyin was the culprit who spread the rumors outside made Tianyin smell something unusual.

"Whether I was the one who spread the rumor or not, there is no doubt that you are the easy target."

Tianyin directly knocked the other person's shoulder away and walked into the dormitory.

Ichinose sat on his bed with his knees hugged, head lowered as if in daze, not saying a word.

"You guy..."

"You are too noisy"

Tianyin's voice was very cold.

The girl who was about to reach out to grab Tianyin seemed to be frozen in fear and stood there unable to move.

"I need to talk to Ichinose, I hope you can go out and wait."

"B-but it's our B class dormitory."

"Can't you hear me? Get out of here—"

"Tianyin!"

Ichinose's voice calmed Amane's anger a little.

"Please, Mr. Moroto, please step out for a moment. Tianyin and I have something to discuss."

Ichinose's words made the girl feel as if she had been pardoned. Her legs were shaking and she didn't dare to refute a word and ran out staggeringly.

"Why did you scare Moroto-san? She just heard the news from someone else... I apologize on her behalf. I'm very sorry."

Seeing Ichinose, who looked exhausted and had thick dark circles under his eyes, bowing his head to apologize to her, Tianyin actually had a feeling that it was unreal.

Her intuition told her that there seemed to be some problems, but Ichinose's attitude was so sincere that she couldn't find any problems.

"I didn't care about that kind of thing, but is her name also Moroto? I remember there was a girl named Moroto Rika in Class C."

Ichinose raised his head and thought seriously.

"I noticed this before and asked her about it. She said she didn't know any Rika Moroto, and that they didn't look much alike, so they probably weren't blood relatives. I also privately asked other people to ask indirectly, so there shouldn't be any problem."

It seemed that the two were just discussing this girl with the same last name whom they happened to find, but in fact, Tianyin was asking about the background of this girl named Zhu Teng.

This girl named Zhu Teng had met her once before in the cinema, and her attitude towards Tianyin was extremely bad at that time.

But since Ichinose said that this had nothing to do with that Moroto from Class C, Amane felt a little relieved.

After all, if there is a spy from Class C who can operate openly around Ichinose, then all the information of Class B will be clearly visible to Class C.

Ichinose has a very wide network of contacts, and since she has already figured out everything, there is no need for Amane to investigate again. After all, Amane is not that concerned about the situation in Class B.

For a moment, the room became quiet.

In the end, it was Tianyin who broke the deadlock.

"Ichinose, how are you doing lately?"

Chapter 327: The Source of Strangeness

As soon as Tianyin said this, he felt that his question was a bit stupid.

How could Ichinose be okay when she was criticized by everyone? From her haggard appearance now, we can see what kind of tremendous pressure Ichinose has been under in just half a day.

But with Ichinose's personality, how could she say something that would make others worry?

So Ichinose’s answer is most likely…

"I'm fine. Although some people sent me some messages that made me feel uncomfortable, there are also many people who are willing to accept such a dirty me... I, I am also very happy."

The corners of Ichinose's eyes could not help but become moist. Realizing that she had lost her composure, she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Alas, you won't be able to hold on for long if you continue like this. Nanyun has no way of helping you calm this storm of public opinion."

Tianyin sighed heavily. She couldn't get a say in such matters. After all, judging from Ichinose's current attitude, it seemed that what happened was most likely true. In this case, the clarification announcement from the Student Council would be the last straw that broke the camel's back for Ichinose.

"I know the help from the student union is very limited, but now that things have turned out like this, I don't know what to do."

Ichinose gave a forced smile.

The current situation is that various versions of rumors are flying around, but the original version of the news is actually true, which makes it difficult to refute subsequent rumors.

Because the prerequisite for refuting rumors is to make your own affairs public first.

Then more people will start discussing this matter.

In this incident, whatever Ichinose does is in vain. The only way to calm public opinion is to drag it out until time erases everyone's memory.

But Nan Yunya's investigation announcement at that time will definitely leave a mark on this incident in the school's history.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Tianyin could only see if Ichinose needed any other help. If it was within her ability, she wouldn't mind helping Ichinose through the difficult times as much as possible.

"It's okay, I don't need any help at the moment, but..."

Ichinose looked a little hesitant, and it was obvious that he had some difficult matters that needed to be troubled by Amane.

"But what?"

"But this time it's very strange, because I only told Shiraha about it."

Ichinose’s words made Amane’s eyelids twitch violently.

If it were any other time, she might have been a little happy that a clue had been found so quickly, but when she found out that the most likely suspect turned out to be Shiranami Chihiro, Tianyin couldn't be happy at all.

It is an indisputable fact that Bai Bo had been expelled from school a long time ago.

How did a person who dropped out of school spread the news to everyone? It couldn't be that Bai Bo leaked the secret to everyone in their dreams? That would be too ridiculous.

Seeing that things were suddenly developing in an even weirder direction, Tianyin quickly shook his head vigorously, trying to forget those unrealistic thoughts.

"That means Shiraha might have told someone about this before dropping out of school, right?"

Putting aside that somewhat weird idea, it is understandable that Shiranami told Ichinose's enemies her most private matters in order to avenge Ichinose for not being able to keep her.

Who would Bai Bo tell about this matter at the last moment?

The first choice answer should be Tianyin, because the two classes of B and D were at odds at that time. If Tianyin had such evidence, it can be said that he could easily control Class B.

But Bai Bo did not choose Tianyin.

Then her only partners are Class C and Shibata. Among the two, Ryuuen's performance against Amane was not the best. The most likely reason for Shiranami to tell this important secret to Shibata is because of his trust in him.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but... could it really be that simple? Would Shibata really do something that would bring disaster upon himself at the critical moment?

"I'm going to go talk to Shibata-san."

Tianyin asked Ichinose tentatively. She wanted to know what Ichinose's attitude was now towards the challenger Shibata. With Ichinose's wisdom, she should be able to guess that Shibata had the greatest possibility. In this case, would Ichinose really not have any resentment?

"Amane, you were just going to chat with Shibata-san, right?"

Ichinose and Amane looked at each other, with a hint of pleading and worry in their eyes.

It seems that I guessed wrong this time. Ichinose is still the same Ichinose, but Shibata may not be the same Shibata.

If it was really Shibata who did it, it only means that Shibata has begun to move towards another extreme path, a path of unscrupulous and dirty means. For her own safety, Tianyin thinks that if Shibata really starts to use any means to attack Ichinose in order to become the class leader, she needs to purge Shibata.

Tianyin looked at Ichinose helplessly. She knew what Ichinose wanted to say, but she couldn't give a 100% guarantee.

“I try not to use violence.”

"Can't we just not use violence? Class B is like a lonely boat in a stormy night, unable to withstand any turbulence. I can't lead them through the next exam in this state. If we lose Shibata-san again..."

Ichinose stood up and grasped Amane's hand.

“Amane, please don’t let the conversation with Shibata-san turn into violence. You would definitely be able to do it.”

Ichinose was absolutely right. If this incident couldn't be resolved tonight, once the list of favored students was selected, Class B would never have time to regroup. Ichinose was obviously not in a position to lead Class B. If Shibata got injured again, the result of this exam would make it impossible for Class B to recover.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to check the situation."

Tianyin gently squeezed Ichinose's hand, then turned and left.

In the end, she chose to comfort Ichinose, but did not agree to Ichinose's request.

At no point did she give up the option of using violence.

Because violence can make those stupid guys try to reason with you.

When Tianyin found Shibata, he was drinking coffee alone in the cafeteria.

There are few people coming to the buffet restaurant at this time.

Shibata found a seat by the window, which was essentially booking the entire place.

Shibata was already in a bad mood, and when he saw Tianyin, his face became even gloomier.

Before Tianyin sat down with the milk, he started to question her.

“Miyako-san, don’t you think your methods are too despicable? Even if Ichinose and I are enemies, I don’t want her to be defeated like this. You are simply insulting me by doing this!”

Shibata suppressed his voice and an angry growl squeezed out of his throat, sounding like the roar of a wild beast.

The next second, the cold milk splashed all over his face.

"Are you calm now?"

Chapter 328: The Biggest Beneficiary: Shibata

When Shibata was splashed with cold milk, he subconsciously stood up and prepared to get angry.

But when his eyes met Tianyin's, Shibata suddenly calmed down and sat back in his seat.

Tianyin watched Shibata's every move quietly throughout the whole process, until he sat down again, then he took out a few tissues and handed them to Shibata.

"Calm down now?"

"That's about it. You came to see me probably because of Ichinose, right?"

Shibata took the tissue naturally and wiped his face and clothes with one hand.

The other hand has not recovered from the injury until now, and Mr. Hoshinomiya estimates that it will take at least a month for it to get better.

Knowing that things couldn't be rushed, Shibata also began to try to adapt to life with one hand.

“Well, it seems different from what I thought.”

Tianyin sat down, picked up a piece of cold potato cake and took a small bite.

But his eyes were fixed on Shibata.

"Don't look at me like that. You saw that just now, didn't you? This matter has nothing to do with me. If you hadn't come to me today, I would have thought that it was you, Miyako, who was behind this."

How credible are Shibata's words?

Tianyin did not rush to answer, but recalled Shibata's expression just now in her mind. The way he yelled at her did not seem to be fake, but it could not be ruled out that Shibata's acting skills had improved recently or that she had made a mistake.

Rather than looking at the appearance, she prefers to observe whether the other person's actions are in his "interests", and then see into the other person's heart to find the slightest flaw, and finally crush the other person's heart.

Tianyin easily tore the hash browns with his fingernails.

"What good will it do me if Ichinose falls? On the contrary, if I'm discovered, I'll definitely be ruined. There's no need for me to gamble so much for Ichinose. I've already defeated her once, and I'm not afraid of Class B led by her. Don't you think your suspicion is groundless, Shibata-san?"

Tianyin hit a straight ball, which is the core issue.

Since Shibata kept saying that he doubted Amane, what was the reason? It was no secret in Class B that Amane and Ichinose were close friends.

Moreover, Tianyin had just caused a big commotion in Class B not long ago, and finally fooled the entire Class B with his superb acting skills, causing the high and mighty Class B to fall to Class D overnight.

Is it necessary for such a person to risk being expelled from school to attack the leader of a weak class? Or is it a very dishonorable way to treat a friend? Is Tianyin such a person? If not, then Shibata's suspicion is very interesting, no matter who looks at it, it has a bit of the meaning of the thief crying "stop thief".

"Although it is true according to common sense, your way of thinking is too unrealistic, and your actions are even more confusing. It is very likely that you made such a decision on a whim. In addition, such a terrible thing happened this time, which seems to be the work of Miyako or Ryuen."

Although Shibata's words were a bit far-fetched, they were not unreasonable. Amane's way of doing things had not been fully understood until now. Even Sakayanagi could roughly guess Amane's way of thinking, but it would be too difficult for her to guess what kind of actions Amane would take to achieve this goal.

In addition to Shibata, there should be many people who regard Amane as the mastermind behind this incident, including Morodo, Shibata, and Horikita before.

It seemed like all the blame was directed at her.

But if you really talk about it in detail, this logic is completely invalid. Just because you can't figure out Tianyin's way of action, you force the blame on Tianyin for things that you can't figure out. This is a very outrageous idea in itself.
