Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

Except for the testimony of Class D, all evidence and public opinion are biased towards Class C.

The people in Class C shouldn't be that stupid. I firmly believed this in my heart.

However, subsequent developments proved me completely wrong and helped me cover up the facts very well.

The day after Mr. Hoshinomiya revealed the news, the students in Class D took action on the dispute... They surrounded our classroom.

No, it's not quite right to say it was them. To be precise, they led the students in our class to tightly surround the gate of Class B.

I know that the goddess of Class D, Kikyo Kushida, is very famous among the first-year students, but how could it turn out like this when I was just taking a break? And it was chosen during the time when Ichinose was not around, so this is not a representative speech at all.

"Ah~"

"I really want to go back..." As I sighed, Ayanokouji retreated from the crowd with some difficulty and squeezed towards my seat by the window.

"You're also participating. Are you investigating the fight?"

"Well, I see you've seen the news. At least you should have informed me in advance."

"News...what news?"

"Didn't Luo come out because he saw the text message I sent you?"

"I'm sorry, my phone is still in the classroom. I just happened to come out to relieve myself. When I came back, I found that the class was surrounded by people."

"Another coincidence."

"If possible, please stop saying words like these that are related to fate... So are you looking to ask me about the witnesses?" I stretched my body lazily, leaned my relaxed body against the frame of the glass window, and looked at the track and field club that was participating in club activities.

"The victim in our class said that he saw a witness at the scene, but it wasn't from Class D."

"The person involved is not here? If he has seen it, it should be easy to identify it."

"In fact, he was very angry at that time and behaved in a rather impolite manner towards the witnesses, so we think it's better not to let him come forward. Does Luo have any information about the incident? Or you can give your impression of the witness. It is said that he has grey curly hair and is full of laziness..." Ayanokouji suddenly stopped, and I saw him sizing up my face out of the corner of my eye.

You can see athletes on the playground fighting for their life ideals. Their vests are soaked with sweat, and the extent of their efforts is so great that you can see the sweat pouring into the air with your naked eyes.

But what is the point of doing this?

Champion? Prize money? The spotlight?

Those empty things are empty in themselves, so what are they fighting for?

"Luo couldn't be the witness."

“The evaluation of me is really bad…”

"Ayanokōji, who are you talking to?" Perhaps because they couldn't get the conversation going, Ayanokōji's companions also squeezed out at this time.

"I think I've found a witness, Chi."

"What did you find?" The boy called Chi did not understand the meaning of this sentence at first.

"eyewitness."

"A witness... eh? That's good! Kushida, we found a witness."

Ike turned around and called out in a voice that could be heard throughout the corridor, and soon Kushida's figure slowly emerged from the crowded crowd.

"Did you find it?"

"Yeah, that's the guy."

Hey, are all the people in Class D so rude?

"I'm sorry, that's just how he is." Ayanokouji seemed to see what I was thinking and apologized to me in advance.

I shrugged, indicating that I didn't care, and at the same time, I looked at Kushida. Ever since I saw her cursing by the river last time, I have been trying to avoid communicating with her, even though we didn't exchange messages in the first place.

"Isn't this classmate Luo? Long time no see."

"Well, long time no see."

"Have you two known each other before?"

"No, we met after I came to this school. I happened to meet Kushida-san on the first day of school." I responded calmly to Ayanokouji's doubts. He seemed to have some problems in this regard.

"But I haven't been in touch since then. I'm really sorry."

"This is not Kushida's problem. It is difficult for students from different classes to have time to communicate with each other. After all, I also have my own class affairs to deal with."

"It's great that you can understand Raku-kun... Also, is the witness that Ayanokouji-san mentioned Raku-kun? Gray curly hair... As expected, the special evidence is very consistent."

"If the victim in your class is someone with a hot temper and fiery red hair, then I think the witness is most likely me."

"Then may we take up a moment of your time? We have something to ask of you." Without waiting for me to respond to their request, Kushida stepped forward and grabbed my arm, staring at me with his bright eyes, so tightly that I could even feel the softness of my breasts.

".......I understand. Anyway, let go first."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

Damn it, who can stand such a cute pose? If I continue like this, not only will Chi Na's eyes look like he wants to kill me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it either.

Then I followed Ayanokouji to a more remote place, and the scene in front of me was just like the school violence that often appears on the Internet. The evil woman and two hooligans stopped the students at the corner of the street and played with them mercilessly.

Hiss, if you put it that way, it seems to fit. And before leaving, I could faintly hear Okabe shouting in the class, "Luo was captured by students from other classes!" This also made the plot more story-like.

Could it be that I have a talent for writing novels?

"Let's do it here." Kushida looked around and continued after making sure there was no one else.

"Since Luo Jun is an eyewitness, can you briefly describe what happened at that time?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that." I shook my head and rejected Kushida's request.

"Hey, why?"

"You weren't bribed by the guys from Class C, were you?"

"Mr. Chi, please be careful with your words. I'm sorry, he's just a little anxious about his partner's matter."

"It doesn't matter. I don't care... I wasn't bribed by Class C. The reason I couldn't do it is simply because I couldn't do it."

"Can you tell us the specific reason?"

"Although I was at the scene, it was only at the very end. In other words, I arrived after they had finished fighting. I don't know the whole story. If I testify, the conclusion will only be in favor of Class C. After all, I only saw the fact that Sudo from Class D unilaterally beat up three students from Class C."

"How could it be....Does that mean Luo Jun just happened to pass by there?"

"I was at the bottom of the special teaching building when I heard some noises. I went upstairs and ran into Sudo. I saw some blood on his fist and greeted him, but he pushed me away roughly."

After that, I wanted to help the students in Class C, but I was also ruthlessly rejected. Really, is it so difficult to be a good person these days?

"Sudou-kun was very angry at that time. Please ignore his rude behavior. If you feel angry, I want to apologize to you."

"I won't get angry over trivial matters, and he didn't do any substantial harm to me, so it's fine. If possible, can you tell me what happened specifically? Maybe I can find relevant evidence from your description."

"Of course there is no problem. After all, it's not a secret that cannot be told."

Then Kushida explained the outline of the matter to me.

Sudo from Class D was selected as a candidate for the regular player by the coach because of his strong basketball skills, and he was the only one in the first grade. Komiya and Kondo from Class C were jealous of this, and Sudo also wanted to put the previous conflict together, so they met in the special teaching building.

However, when Sudo arrived there, he found the fourth person, Ishizaki from Class C. He had intended to resolve the issue through verbal negotiation, but the other party took action first. Sudo had no choice but to fight back. Then a tragedy occurred.

"So it was the people in Class C who made the mistake first, right?"

"That's right, but the school asked us to provide proof to clear Sudou's name. The school didn't trust Sudou's one-sided statement."

That’s right. After all, he can fight three people alone, so he is a ruthless person.

"Even if that's the case, both parties are responsible. What will happen if there's no proof?"

"If you fail to do so, it will be considered Sudou-san's fault and he will be suspended until the summer vacation. In addition, points will be deducted from the entire class."

"This is too much."

"Not only that, Sudou-san's chances of becoming a regular player candidate will also fall through."

".......That's really unfortunate."

"So can Luo Jun provide any useful information?"

"I'm sorry, it doesn't seem so." I spread my hands to show that I was powerless.

"...In this case, it seems that there is no way to find witnesses."

After confirming that I had no ability, Kushida sighed, and his purple eyes became unusually pitiful.

"What are you doing? It's useless in the end. If that's the case, I'm more inclined to believe that Sudou was the one-sided violence."

The moment before, Kushida was still making excuses for Ike's worry about his companions, but when he turned around, Ike expressed his distrust of his companions.

"Ike, I'll be angry if you say that. Sudou-kun is not that kind of person."

"Ah, sorry, Kushida-chan, I was wrong. I was just joking." As he said this, Ike put his hands together and apologized to Kushida.

The human heart is really hard to understand.

"I haven't failed yet. After all, I'm not the only witness—"

"Student Luo, please explain this in detail!"

Please don't pull my hand suddenly, I will explain it clearly.

"Okay, okay. Actually, there was a witness who was there before I got there. But after she met me, she ran away in a hurry. She was a girl with glasses and pink hair. If I'm not mistaken, she should be a first-year student like us."

"Is it the guy you and I met in the office together before?"

"Ichinose doesn't wear glasses."

"Can you tell me more about Luo Jun? For example, are there any unique features?"

"Isn't it possible to confirm it just based on this alone?"

"Well, I might have some clues, but then I think there might be a lot of people like this."

"Is that so? Let me think about it."

"please!"

At Kushida's request, I once again recalled the girl I met at the corner of the special teaching building.

I have a clear view of her image, but how should I describe it?

Big breasts!

No, if I say that, I will definitely be considered a pervert.

Features?...Oh, I got it.

"digital camera."

"Well?"

"She had a camera with her. Although she hid it in her arms, I still saw it. Also, she might be a little shy. This is just my guess. Please don't take it seriously if necessary."

"Is this okay?" After I asked this question, Ayanokouji and Kushida looked at each other as if they were confirming something in their hearts.

"I think we should be able to determine who it is."

"Have you found any clues so soon? I'm sorry I can't be of any help."

"Luo Jun has done a great job. If I can find it later, I will let you know. Thank you."

Chapter 22: No Deep Self-Understanding

Don’t do things that you can do without, and keep things that you must do simple.

This is the creed of energy conservationists, and it is also the concept I have been implementing since I entered school. Some people may feel that it is easy to say but difficult to do. However, in real life, it is actually just about classifying things as meaningful or not.

In order to ensure your interpersonal relationships, you must communicate. In order to ensure your future, you must study. As for activities such as clubs, they can be said to be dispensable. Of course, keeping things simple does not mean being perfunctory. Problems must be solved neatly.

Also, you should never make too many sacrifices just to be prepared. For example, you join a dance club because you might need dancing skills someday. Don't be so lucky, it's nonsense. You will only end up dying because of overwork.

We have choices, not powerlessness.

We can forgive the past and work hard for the incident. In other words, these are not the points of energy consumption. For energy conservationists, the real energy consumption is the judgment of what is necessary and unnecessary.

This is the true face of energy conservationists.

No, if you think deeply about the truth, no matter which kind of ideology it is, it is all pursuing its own interests and values.

After a long period of thinking and reasoning, I came to my own in-depth understanding of the concept of "energy conservationist".

So I’m definitely not making excuses for the fact that I’m lost.
