People bring their own maids to the training camp

......

The first-year student was naturally played by Hayasaka, who quickly changed clothes and followed after creating an alibi at the hotel.

They deliberately ambushed the two at the corner.

Although the two second-year students perceived it as Hayasaka bumping into them, Hayasaka, with her exceptional body control, actually precisely controlled her stride. If a third party were present, they would certainly believe that Hayasaka was the one who was bumped into.

It was nighttime, and it was a corner, so it wasn't difficult for Hayasaka, who had practiced beforehand.

100. Surveillance

The group arrived at the monitoring room, and Nan Yun stepped forward to explain the situation, saying that he wanted to view the surveillance footage.

As the vice president, he naturally had such authority, and the staff pulled up the surveillance footage and played it in slow motion without saying a word.

The confident demeanor of both parties made Nan Yun a little worried. After all, his classmate had no reason to lie, but the fact that the other party was so assertive in suggesting that he wanted to see the surveillance footage showed that he was also quite confident.

If it were just bluffing, one shouldn't be so confident.

With questions in mind, Nagumo watched the video intently.

“…” Then Nagumo fell silent.

He found that it was difficult to intuitively determine which of the two collided first based solely on the video footage—after all, it's actually quite difficult to judge a situation where "cheese is sandwiched between two buns."

"What's wrong, Vice President? Is it hard to judge?" Chihaya deliberately stepped forward and asked.

"It's subtle, not very obvious."

"Is this the only camera position?" Chihaya turned to ask the staff.

"Yes, there's only one camera position over there. The other cameras are a bit further away, so you probably can't see them clearly."

This put Nan Yun in a difficult position. After all, both sides had requested to see the surveillance footage, but the footage was unclear and ambiguous, and it would be difficult to satisfy both parties if he made a judgment based on it.

"It's a pity, it would have been better if other student council members were present." Chihaya feigned regret, "After all, as a witness, it's definitely inconvenient for me to interfere, nor do I have the right to interfere with the monitoring."

These words made Nagumo, who had originally wanted Chihaya to give him some advice, give up the idea.

"Well, the surveillance footage isn't very clear, so how about we ask you all to come to the student council room again tomorrow?" Left with no other option, Nan Yun had to propose a compromise.

"No way, I need the result now," Hayasaka said. "Even if you rule that I hit someone and have to fine me, you have to tell me now. What if the video recording is gone tomorrow?"

"The video is right here, how could it be gone?"

“Points can buy anything. It’s easy to spend points to make a video disappear, right? And you second-year students have a lot of points.” Hayasaka got more and more excited as he spoke. “No, Vice President, you are their classmate. I demand that President Horikita decide this matter. As a classmate, Vice President should recuse himself. After all, the classes in High School Education are a community of interests.”

"Junior, isn't this unnecessary?"

"Hime-kun, could you please contact President Horikita if you have his number?"

Chihaya glanced at Nagumo upon hearing this, and the latter could only nod helplessly.

Chihaya then dialed Horikita Manabu's number, briefly explained the situation, and the other party said he would arrive shortly.

......

Soon, Horikita Manabu arrived at the scene and began studying the video with Nagumo.

While the two students in Class 2-A weren't paying attention, Hayasaka winked smugly at Chihaya.

Chihaya could only shake her head helplessly.

Although it was a rather rough plan, it was executed with great ease thanks to Hayasaka's exceptional execution skills. Regardless of Horikita Manabu's subsequent assessment, Chihaya's side had prepared corresponding contingency plans to deal with it.

Rumors are extremely damaging. First of all, the rumor that two boys from Class 2-A were caught eavesdropping on girls' conversation by a waiter will definitely spread regardless of the outcome.

If Horikita Manabu's final decision is the same as Nagumo's, then the official explanation will be that Nagumo is unable to handle the situation on his own and needs Horikita Manabu's help.

If the results are different, then it means that Nagumo's level is not up to par; he can't even understand a surveillance video and needs Horikita Manabu to help him draw a conclusion.

Regardless, this will have a negative impact on the Nanyun Group—mainly on its influence among the first-year students, since apart from Fanbo, most of the other first-year students don't really care about him as the vice president.

If there were a real election for student council president, Chihaya would easily win: it's because Nagumo is lazy and doesn't show his face to the freshmen anymore, and many first-year students really only recognize Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane.

After a while, Horikita Manabu seemed to have come to a conclusion and turned off the surveillance.

"Provide me with your ice cream purchase records," Horikita Manabu said to Hayasaka.

“No problem.” Hayasaka immediately started using his phone. “If I go to the store now, the owner will definitely remember me.”

"No problem, then the verdict is as follows: the two second-year students shall compensate the first-year students for the ice cream points and apologize." Horikita announced cleanly and decisively, "If there are any problems, please bring evidence to the student council tomorrow to file an appeal."

"Vice President?!" The two immediately turned to look at Nan Yun.

"What are you standing there for? Transfer the money!" Nan Yun urged.

"Oh." The two felt very wronged, but they still transferred the money.

"I'm sorry, Princess, I need to talk to my two classmates a bit. Maybe next time we can invite Ichinose to have a meal together."

"Okay, Vice President."

So Nagumo and the other two left.

"Thank you for your judgment, Chairman Horikita. I'll take my leave now."

Only Horikita Manabu and Chihaya were left.

“I didn’t expect you to actually attack Nagumo,” Horikita Manabu said. “I’m quite surprised.”

"Don't talk nonsense, President. I was just having dinner with the Vice President and helping him deal with some things."

"That student who just received the compensation isn't in the student's file," Horikita Manabu suddenly said. "I suppose you used this method to sell exam papers during the previous midterm exams to avoid being exposed, right?"

"I don't understand."

"It's alright, but if you provoke Nan Yun like this, he might retaliate against you. All these inconsistencies will eventually point to you."

“An accusation without evidence is meaningless, and besides, the vice president wouldn’t accuse me.” Chihaya was quite confident about this. “He even invited me to join the next student council when he is the president, but he’s not as generous as you, president. He only promised me a secretary position.”

"Does a position in the student council hold absolutely no appeal for you?"

"That's not entirely true, but I don't intend to take on any position in the student council."

"You yourself don't intend to?" Horikita Manabu nodded thoughtfully. "Then do you currently have someone in mind?"

"How's Rinne?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"It might sound like a joke now, but who knows what it will be like in a year or a semester?"

"Then you should work hard. Being from Class D doesn't carry much weight."

“So it will take time,” Chihaya said with a smile. “There’s no use worrying about your sister anymore, Horikita. After all, she will need to stay at this school for two more years after you graduate. You can talk about those experiences when you two siblings catch up after Suzune graduates.”

"..."

"That's all. You should just focus on graduating. This place isn't for someone like Nagumo to control."

101. Bagua (Eight Trigrams)

The next day, when Chihaya arrived at Class 1-B, she heard the class passionately discussing the student council's ruling.

Hayasaka, the "culprit" and "instigator," is ranting about two boys in Class 2-A. The students in Class B never expected to hear gossip about their own class, so they all gather around Hayasaka to listen to her firsthand account.

Hayasaka naturally made full use of her eloquence, vividly recounting what happened last night (a modified version), and mentioned that Kushida from Class D was also with her at the time, and that she could ask her any questions.

Although Honami from Class B is quite approachable, when it comes to the widest network of connections and the most frequent face-to-face interaction, it has to be Kushida, this fake little angel.

The students in Class B were already on Hayasaka's side, and when they heard that Kushida was also going with them, they were even more convinced.

"If you ask me, Class 2-A is a bit too much. They went from Class B to Class A and now they don't know who they are anymore. They're so arrogant," Hayasaka complained. "We were just talking about how Nagumo-senpai failed to win Chihaya's heart, but they acted like they wanted to praise Nagumo-senpai to the skies."

"Wow, there's such gossip? Hayasaka, that's not very sisterly of you! Why didn't you share this sooner?"

"Shibata-san, I don't remember you being a member of the girls' soccer team, right? When did we become sisters?"

"Don't worry about the details, I just want to hear the gossip! Gossip! Gossip!"

“Okay, the so-called Bagua is Taiji giving rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang giving rise to the Four Symbols, and finally the Four Symbols giving rise to the Bagua…” Hayasaka deliberately started talking about another Bagua.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't lie to me about my lack of education. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Fei Gong!"

"Indeed, I did it on purpose."

"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a drink with lunch. Tell me quickly!" Shibata gave in.

"Thank you, boss! Speaking of this, I have to mention Kiryuin Kaede-senpai from Class 2-B. Actually, she, Chihaya, and I have been friends since we were little..."

Hayasaka began to tell the story according to the premise they had created.

Chihaya glanced at it, shook her head, and returned to her seat, making no attempt to stop Hayasaka.

Seeing that Chihaya had tacitly agreed, the members of Class B were no longer worried and focused all their attention on Hayasaka.

"Good morning, Qianzao." Fanbo didn't go over to join in the fun.

"Gui'an Fanbo".

"About what Hayasaka said..." Honami hesitated, seemingly unable to find the words.

“Ai talks too much nonsense,” Chihaya said helplessly. “Actually, I was just trying to mediate between Kaede and the vice president. I didn’t expect something like that to happen.”

"then you......"

"I don't have any plans to date a guy right now, so I wouldn't agree to date anyone, no matter who it is."

"I see. The boys will probably be crying their eyes out when they hear this," Fanbo joked. "But I never expected that Vice President Nagumo would also fall for Chihaya's charms."

"Fan Bo."

"Hehe, since it's true, even if I don't say anything, others will, right? You'll have to get used to it beforehand, okay?"

"I'm already quite used to this kind of thing," Chihaya said with a wry smile. "But everyone seems to enjoy it and never gets tired of hearing it."

"After all, the victim has changed, so it's normal for people to be interested. Besides, after what happened, everyone was probably quite worried about Hayasaka, right?"

"Let me put it this way, Maple and I trained at the same dojo."

“…I understand.” Fanbo nodded. “Looks like another girl who can easily take down Sudo-kun.”

"Given Kaede's temper, I think she would probably fight with Sudo right there and then, until Sudo starts crying."
