Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"........the people in Class C didn't fall for it, right?"

Being able to resist the temptation of a beautiful girl, isn't this even more powerful than a strong will? !

"Not really. Ishizaki and the others were indeed fooled, but they were not the only ones who came."

"So they leaked the news of Kushida's meeting to others, and then someone came to the rescue, right?"

"That's right. We had already defeated the other party's psychological defenses, but before we could get them to the meeting room to withdraw their lawsuit, the mastermind behind Class C came out to stop us."

"The man behind it?"

"Well, I probably haven't mentioned it to Luo Jun yet. In fact, I have always suspected that Class C's harassment and provocation of our classmates was directed by someone behind the scenes, but because there is no evidence, I was not sure until just now."

"There is a student named Ryuen Sho in Class C. All the previous provocations against Class B were caused by him. He is a difficult person who will do anything for the sake of profit. His actions this time are probably intended to dismantle the structure of the school system."

"What a terrifying guy.....Does that mean Ryuen expected us to take such measures and rushed to the scene to rescue us in time?"

"The other team's teacher noticed the flaw in the timing of our action."

"The teacher of Class C didn't see his students before the meeting, so he called Long Yuan to inform him. The result was..."

"After all the planning, I still couldn't have missed the teacher... Now that things have come to this, it means that failure is irreversible."

"It looks like that, but Ayanokouji-kun said that Horikita-san actually has a backup plan."

There is actually a backup plan? That woman is too scary!

"Then Ayanokouji........."

"I've gone back to support Horikita-san now... If I hadn't snatched the role played by Ayanokouji-san, the matter might have ended in his hands..."

"Since Ayanokouji gave the role to Ichinose, it means that Ichinose can handle it better. There is no need to blame yourself. From what I know about Ayanokouji, if Ichinose hadn't taken over, the situation might have been even worse. And as long as Ryuuen comes here, no one can do anything."

"........."

Although Kanzaki and I tried to comfort him, Ichinose still couldn't shake off the feeling of self-blame.

But then again, the purpose of asking me to come here couldn't be just to get some words of comfort from you, right?

However, the subsequent developments made me realize how serious my mistake was.

After spending some time discussing, Ichinose and Kanzaki were worried about Horikita's situation, so they decided to go and help, at least to exempt Sudo from expulsion.

I had been planning to go along and investigate, but Kanzaki left me in the special teaching building to recycle the monitors and circuit boards just in case.

Haha, so that’s how it is. I’m just a pure tool.

After clearly understanding how they defined me, I denounced the distortion of human nature and the decline of morality with a heart-wrenching voice, while carefully carrying the ladder to collect the action props.

Chapter 37: We, Class C, withdraw this accusation

[Horikita Suzune's perspective]

After waiting for a while, the students from Class C ran back in panic under our eyes. Although they were all sweaty, they didn't feel much urgency.

In addition, it is worth noting that this is not the same as agreed. Ichinose and Ayanokouji did not come along to "escort" them in, but a strange male did.

"We barely made it." Sakagami, the teacher from Class C, breathed a sigh of relief. "Ryuen-san was also on time."

Ryuen-san? I was distracted when I heard this name. I have never heard of this name. But since I have come into contact with the rest of Class C, it means that this operation has failed.

"This is really dangerous. Class D almost succeeded." The man called Ryuen stroked his hair arrogantly, then glanced at me with disdain. "I never thought that you, Class D, would collude with Class B to do such dirty things."

"I should be the one asking you this question. Don't you know what the students in your class have done?"

"All I know is that they were bullied and just recently threatened."

Tsk, this is bad. If this plan succeeds, it will bring huge profits, but if it fails, the harm is also not to be underestimated.

"Are you saying that the students in Class D just took threatening actions against the students in Class C?"

"Don't worry about it, President Horikita. This is just their little trick."

Even in front of his brother, Ryuuen never changed his sneering expression.

"Really? So does Class C need to change the meeting participants?" the brother asked slowly.

"There's no need for that. You three should know what to do next, right?"

"Understood......"

"Then we will continue with yesterday's deliberations. Please take your seats." At the urging of Senior Tachibana, everyone began to take their seats.

Then Ayanokouji rushed in.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Senior Tachibana frowned, but still nodded and let Ayanokouji in.

"Horikita, I remember you just said that it doesn't matter whether he's here or not?" Chabashira-sensei looked at me with interest, and at this moment I could only pretend that I didn't care.

"It's common for plans to fail to keep up with changes."

I glanced at my brother, but he didn't react. His eyes were not on me, but on Ayanokouji.

At this point, I have more or less realized that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is an unusual person.

"What happened?"

"It failed. At the last minute, the C class teacher called Ryuen, and the operation was ruined by him."

Although I have considered the timing issue, there are too many limiting factors to make it more perfect.

"Did you get any useful information?"

"The basic contents are all certain, but there is no direct evidence."

"That means their testimony can be said to be caused by our threats and coercion, right?"

"Yeah.....so what are you going to do?"

"........"

My brother is right next to me, but I still can't prove myself this time?

I am unwilling to give up. Is there no chance of saving it?

"Well, I declare the meeting open now. Students from Class D, please provide relevant evidence."

Is there really no solution?

"Hey, Horikita has already started."

Facing the silence, Sudou urged me.

Yes, the meeting has started, but I fell into silence just like yesterday.

A fight to the bitter end, I was doomed to fail from the beginning. Is this the price of lying? I didn't expect retribution to come so quickly, even though Class C was still standing opposite us.

At this moment, Ayanokouji once again took out the photos taken by Sakura-san and placed a photo of the two sides after the fight ended in front of me.

"Sorry, I forgot to take this photo out."

This guy is like this again...

I gave him a dissatisfied look, then took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

There is still a chance to turn around, at least we have to make sure both sides suffer losses.

I took the hint from Ayanokouji and began to carefully examine the details of the photo. In the picture, there was blood on Sudo's hand, and the other three were lying on the floor at the end of the corridor. I don't know if it was because of the good parameters of the digital camera or Sakura's photography skills, but the picture was very clear.

What was he trying to tell me, or was there any detail in this photo that I should pay attention to? Thinking of this, I compared the people in the photo with Ishizaki and his group, and then I understood Ayanokouji's starting point.

"Did Class D choose to give up?"

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was just thinking of an excuse." I stood up and began to connect with my thoughts from yesterday. "Before I explain, I would like to ask if Ishizaki-san did not suffer any secondary physical injuries after the fight with Sudo."

"What does it mean?"

"It means literally. If you don't understand, I can explain it to you. What I mean by secondary injury is whether you had another fight with others or an accident that caused new injuries to your body after you were injured."

"Of course not."

"Are you sure? Are you sure that all the injuries on your body were caused by Sudou?"

"Yes, I'm sure." After hesitating for a moment, Ishizaki nodded affirmatively, and Komiya and Kondo also followed suit.

"Then how do you explain this photo?" I showed them the photo in my hand, and then handed it to Senior Tachibana.

"........What's wrong with this photo?"

"Haven't you noticed yet? You just admitted that all the wounds on your bodies were caused by Sudo-san, right? Then how do you explain the new wounds on the three of you? The scratch on Ishizaki's right arm, the broken skin on Komiya's left cheek, and Kondo-san's broken bone."

"How do we know if you have tampered with the photos after you returned? Do you still want to perjure yourself like the girl did yesterday?"

"No, Mr. Sakagami. This photo was taken yesterday, I can confirm it." At this time, my brother gave feedback.

"So what, if the photo was tampered with from the beginning?"

"Then why do we have any reason to delay this evidence? If you are saying that you forgot it because you were nervous, I don't think we would let go of such an important clue. Or do you think we are absolutely sure that the meeting can be reviewed today?"

"Isn't there such a possibility? In fact, you have been delaying the implementation of the punishment."

He really doesn't miss any possible inference.

"Wait, I didn't hit Kondou's hand bones at all—"

"Shut up, Sudou. Your words mean nothing."

"Tsk, tsk—"

"In other words, are you sure that these wounds that do not exist in the photos were also caused by Sudo?" Ayanokouji, who had been silent, suddenly confirmed with the other party at this time.

How much key information does he hold in his hands?

"Yes, I am sure."

"Really? Then I'll be straight to the point. Under Horikita's order, I retrieved the surveillance footage from the Special Education Building on the day of the incident. Although the surveillance footage isn't as clear as the photo, it clearly shows that when Kondo walked out of the Special Education Building, his arms were completely intact, and he was even supporting his companion."

Following 'my orders', Ayanokouji handed over his cell phone to his brother, who also confirmed the fact.

"Why, are you still going to say that the school's video is fake?"

"These wounds were caused by Sudou-san. In fact, I didn't feel the pain in my arm until the night of the incident-"

"Hahahaha-"

Just as Kondo was explaining, Ryuen, who had been standing at the entrance of the meeting room, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Since Class C has no plans to replace anyone, all irrelevant people are requested to leave the meeting room. Or are you dissatisfied with the student council's decision?" Facing Ryuuen's rude and unreasonable behavior, Senior Tachibana asked a serious question.

The attention of everyone present was drawn to Ryuen's words.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to insult the student union, but I just found a very interesting email."

"Are you provoking us?"

"No, I'm just saying there's something I have to say right now."

"What are you-"

"Ju, let him continue."

"But——" Senior Tachibana tried to refute, but was stopped by her brother. At the same time, I was also very curious about what Ryuuen, who was trying to stop our plan, wanted to say.

Then I was shocked, or rather, I couldn't believe what Ryuuen said next.

Because what he said was—

"We, Class C, withdraw this accusation."

I looked at Ayanokouji who was sitting next to me in surprise, but he remained calm, as if he had expected this situation.

What on earth did this guy do?

Chapter 38 End of Review

[Ayanokouji Kiyotaka’s perspective]

"We, Class C, withdraw this accusation."

Even after withdrawing the charges, Ryuuen still did not have the demeanor of a loser, and instead spoke in a more excited tone.

"So that's the end of your accusation, right?" Senior Horikita immediately understood the situation and made a statement.
