Good kid?
Pah!
Ryuuen never expected anyone to be more shameless than him.
Ibuki was already on the ground, and she still said there was no fight?
Did Ibuki have to be hospitalized for it to count as a fight?
Amane's words made even Horikita Manabu struggle to maintain his composure.
Although Ibuki initiated the attack, Ibuki ultimately fell, and according to testimonies, it was Amane who tripped her.
Which meant Amane participated in the fight.
Even if it was for self-protection, she was still a participant.
"Miyako-san, do you think everyone around here is blind?"
Ryuuen glared fiercely at Amane.
"Not blind? If they're not blind, how could they stand by and watch a girl get bullied? And you, redhead, what are you staring at? Are your eyes the only big ones?"
Amane also widened her eyes.
To be fair, Amane's eyes were indeed bigger than Ryuuen's.
Ryuuen was so choked up that he couldn't say a word.
"No personal attacks."
Horikita Manabu rolled his eyes at Amane.
This guy really wouldn't take any loss.
Then this was going to be a good show.
"You clearly tripped me, and you still have the nerve to say you didn't do anything? You're really thick-skinned."
Seeing Ryuuen silenced, Ibuki couldn't help but open her mouth to accuse Amane.
Although she was the one in the wrong, there was no rule that the party in the wrong couldn't shift responsibility.
Ibuki had also figured it out.
Only by turning it from a unilateral act of violence into a fight involving both parties could she avoid more severe punishment.
So Ibuki spared no effort to try and drag Amane down with her.
"I tripped you with my foot, does that count as doing something?"
"Does using your foot mean it's not a fight?"
"I'm just asking if I 'did' anything."
...Is there something wrong with this person's head?
Ibuki's face also turned red with anger.
But Amane indeed didn't use her hands, so you couldn't really say anything to her.
Even defining it as a fight was a bit of a stretch.
Ishizaki, standing nearby, saw Amane, who looked somewhat naive, single-handedly defeat both Ryuuen and Ibuki.
He couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.
Amane's gaze swept over immediately.
"I didn't say anything."
Ishizaki quickly distanced himself.
Ryuuen's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he watched.
"Does Class C have anything else to say?"
Horikita Manabu, seeing that Class C had chosen silence, intended to announce the disciplinary decision.
"Wait a moment, although a large part of this incident was due to Ibuki's recklessness, wasn't the verbal dispute caused by Shiraha-san from Class B bumping into Ibuki-san? If she hadn't bumped into her, the subsequent events most likely wouldn't have happened, so I suggest all three parties bear some responsibility."
Ryuuen, seeing that his approach targeting Amane was ineffective.
Could only change his focus and target Shiraha again.
His original intention of targeting Amane was because Amane didn't seem very shrewd.
According to Ryuuen's thinking.
When squeezing persimmons, you always pick the soft ones.
Now Shiraha had Ichinose by her side, and Ichinose seemed to have recently joined the Student Council. Biting down on her would likely break a front tooth, which was really not worth it.
So he intended to drag Amane in to share the responsibility.
But he didn't expect Amane to be anything but a soft persimmon.
She was a solid, unyielding steelyard weight.
Amane knew Ryuuen would target Shiraha.
So, she quietly squeezed Shiraha-san's small hand.
Shiraha-san immediately sat on the ground and started crying.
"I... I really didn't bump into Ibuki-san, boo hoo hoo hoo. It... it was Ibuki-san who bumped into me. I even... I even apologized to her, but she just wanted to hit me, boo hoo hoo."
It must be said that Shiraha-san's acting could be called first-class.
Her heart-wrenching crying even moved Horikita Manabu.
"Don't worry, with us here, the matter will definitely be investigated thoroughly."
Horikita Manabu had a bit of a headache.
Shiraha-san's actions were clearly a counterattack against Ryuuen.
This meant that neither side intended to back down.
However, Horikita Manabu couldn't say that Shiraha-san's approach was problematic.
After all, she was in the right.
The photo of her being grabbed by the collar could still be found on the forum.
No matter how Ibuki-san tried to explain, she couldn't get out of it.
"Ah, Shiraha-san is really too pitiful. She just wanted to buy a drink, but she was deliberately provoked, and then even bitten back at and framed. But I believe the Student Council will definitely severely punish acts of school violence."
Amane glanced at Ibuki-san.
Ibuki-san had indeed almost bitten Amane.
So this wasn't entirely false... and Amane deliberately escalated the act of violence into school violence.
If it was at the level of school violence, then she would undoubtedly be expelled.
Ryuuen immediately retorted.
"Stop spouting nonsense! It was Shiraha-san who bumped into Ibuki-san. You're the ones biting back!"
Ryuuen was a bit annoyed. This scoundrel actually played smart and tried to pin a label on them.
If this were confirmed, what would there be to discuss? They'd just have to pack up and get out.
"I am a witness. I saw with my own eyes Ibuki-san deliberately bumping into Shiraha-san."
Amane's confident words made Ryuuen's expression freeze.
Could it be that Ibuki-san really didn't do a good enough job and was discovered?
Ryuuen actually didn't know the initial situation.
He also wasn't sure if Ibuki-san's small actions had been seen.
The only thing he knew was that Ibuki-san had indeed carried out his orders.
Seeing the subtle change in Ryuuen's expression, Amane was secretly pleased.
She had guessed correctly.
Sure enough, this was deliberately planned by Class C.
In that case... there's a chance!!!
"If it's really not possible, we'll check the surveillance cameras right now. If it's found that Ibuki-san deliberately bumped into her, it means you premeditated school violence against Shiraha-san. I hope the school will expel Ibuki-san."
Amane's words made everyone gasp.
Even Ichinose's expression changed. Amane hadn't told her this part just now.
Did she suddenly add to the script?
"Expulsion? For such a small matter, she should be expelled?"
Ibuki-san looked at Horikita Manabu in shock.
Horikita Manabu nodded.
"If it is proven to be deliberate, expulsion will be carried out."
Horikita Manabu inwardly sighed with admiration for Amane's decisive move.
Whatever happened privately, as long as it wasn't discovered, it would be considered nonexistent.
The only way to prove the other party's violation was through surveillance or recordings.
Thinking like this... could Amane have deliberately provoked Ibuki-san and then tested her in reverse... she shouldn't have thought of so much... right?
Horikita Manabu's breathing quickened a few beats.
"You win. State your terms. If you're unwilling to mediate, even if Class C drops to Class D, we will drag Class B into endless trouble."
Ryuuen directly laid his cards on the table.
He even threatened Class B in front of Horikita Manabu.
The reason he adopted such a tough stance was because Ibuki-san's impulsive actions had indeed been caught.
On another note, Ibuki-san was the first person he had subdued and made obey him.
If he couldn't even protect his own trusted subordinate, what face did he have to continue climbing higher?
If Ibuki-san were expelled, even if all class points were deducted, Ryuuen would completely crush Class B.
Ichinose was startled by Ryuuen's almost insane expression.
After much hesitation, she chose not to confront Class C to the end, but instead opted for the method Amane had taught her.
"Then, 500,000 personal points. How does that sound?"
