People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

It is true that she has lost the means to threaten Bai Lan.

But all of this may not be the result of Bai Lan's calculations. It is very possible that Bai Lan is unaware that she has lost the evidence that threatened him.

As for Bai Lan's strange remarks...

correct!

Shirai's Japanese is not good.

Isn't it normal to speak strangely, use inappropriate words, or have poor Japanese skills?

What did Bai Lan say back then?

It’s a deal?

I will not give in.

Perhaps what he really meant was: I agree (it's a deal), and I won't break the agreement (I won't give in)?

Did Bai Lan actually accept her own threat?

Otherwise, what good would it have done for Bai Lan to say those strange things back then?

If Bai Lan is really that calculating, doesn't she know that to make her keep sweating, all she has to do is practice arguing with her a little longer?

Using words that would arouse her suspicion to lure him into running would be superfluous, wouldn't it?

unreasonable.

That's right, that guy was just lucky!

Just then, Kushida's phone rang.

one look.

Bai Lan called.

As soon as Kushida answered the phone, he couldn't wait to ask, "Haku-kun, what do you need from this 'friend' of yours?"

Kushida emphasized the word "friend," as if he was testing something.

Bai Lan replied quickly:

"Um, I just wanted to ask, Kushida-kun, when exactly are you planning to report me and get me expelled? Could you give me some advance notice?"

I need to manage my living expenses so that I don't run out of money when I drop out, or run out of money before I drop out.

As soon as Bai Lan uttered her first words, Kushida was already certain of the "truth".

"Kushida-kun, when are you going to report me and get me expelled?"

It's easy to see.

Bai Lan said this on the premise that Kushida would report him.

This attitude of being fearless and seemingly indifferent to dropping out of school.

In other words, Shirai was not afraid of Kushida's threats at all.

Unafraid of threats = Knowing that Kushida's evidence is invalid = Everything is under Bai Lan's control = Everything is Bai Lan's scheme = Bai Lan's scheming is invincible!

Kushida was utterly terrified: I actually tried to threaten someone like that! I was practically asking for trouble!

39. Kushida had a sudden realization, and felt that the world was becoming increasingly vast.

Kushida: I actually thought of threatening someone like that!

He'll definitely get revenge on me later, won't he?

I am done!

How to do how to do?

Thinking of this, Kushida's eyes darkened, and he muttered to himself:

"As expected, he has realized that my threats have no effect on him, and that my evidence of his indecent assault is completely useless."

He even dared to use this to make fun of me!

It was all part of his scheme.

Haha~

Now that I no longer have any leverage to threaten him into keeping my secret, what should I do...?

Kushida has not given up his will to survive.

With unwavering persistence, a sudden inspiration flashed through Kushida's mind.

and many more!

If Bai Lan is truly unparalleled in scheming, then is it really just because he says those superfluous and strange things because he's not good at Japanese?

Otherwise, what is the purpose?

What good were those words, other than making her suspicious for no reason?

The meaning of scattered ears is scattered nine.

Could it be...

Was her suspicion also part of Bai Lan's calculations?

Bai Lan deliberately made her suspicious!

Once she becomes suspicious, she'll do what she's doing now: knowing that reporting with her coat might be considered a false accusation, she'll give up on reporting it.

If you don't report it, it means nothing happened.

If you report it, you could be falsely accused!

Although it was only a "possibility," in Kushida's view, given Shirai's inhuman scheming, the "possibility" would definitely become a "certainty"!

that is.

Bai Lan was deliberately trying to arouse her suspicion!

Was Bai Lan reminding her?!

In this way, Bai Lan repaid evil with kindness, giving the person who wanted to harm him a chance to pull back from the brink...

No, it was twice.

This is the second time I've made this call!

If it weren't for that phone call, Kushida might have mistaken Shirai's scheming for luck and then tried to continue threatening Shirai with non-existent evidence...

At that time, all Bai Lan needs to do is record the process of Kushida threatening him and then expose it.

However, Kushida could not produce any evidence to prove that he was threatening Shirai.

In the end, Kushida himself will be the one who suffers!

At that moment, Kushida had a sudden realization.

Kushida was no longer going to rely on wishful thinking; she was going to seize this opportunity!

Previously, although Kushida had heard Hirata's analysis that Shirai was actually a very good person, she was more skeptical of this because she had witnessed the darkness in people's hearts.

Even if you believe it, it's not much, just a little.

She was willing to believe it more because of the prevailing trend, and she had to appear to believe it.

After all, Kushida's character is that of a gentle, kind, and innocent little angel. So many "hearts" in the class have expressed their belief, how could a pure-hearted little angel doubt her?

Another issue is Horikita.

Shirayama was the only person Kushida could think of who could be connected to Horikita.

She had no choice.

Therefore, Kushida did not place his hopes on Shirai's judgment that "Shirai is a good person," as Hirata had said.

If Kushida had previously harbored doubts about Shirai, at this moment, he was completely convinced.

This can be seen from Bai Lan's behavior today.

Kushida was absolutely certain—

Although Bai Lan likes to curse, look down on people, threaten people, and also leaves early, skips classes, and teaches girls to swear... he is actually a good person!

Moreover, he's not the kind of pitiful yet hateful good person who has nothing but gentleness, and even gets into trouble, harming himself and those around him.

He is the kind of person who is capable of helping others while also protecting himself and those around him without leaving any gaps. He is an incredibly good person!

What Kushida envied most was that Shirai didn't need to spend so much time and energy trying to please others like she did. This person was self-willed and quick to criticize others, and when she did, she didn't discriminate between men and women, and she didn't care about family or relatives, yet she was able to gain so much goodwill from so many people, and even—respect!

On the surface, it seems to be because of Hirata.

But now, having experienced Bai Lan's "scheming," Kushida feels that things are not so simple...

This might also be part of Bai Lan's scheme!

How on earth did he do it?

Kushida was very curious, and at the same time thought to himself, "If only I could be like Shiro. If I had had such methods before, how could my 'Kushida Empire' have been destroyed because I was recognized after arguing with people online?"

Kushida fantasized about what it would be like if, in the future, she wouldn't have to bottle up her frustrations like she does now, and could just snap at people whenever she wanted. And after she did, people would actually like her even more...

What an amazing life they're living!

Bai Lan's ability.

I really want one!

and many more!

Kushida's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.

"If I am willing to tell him about the desperate situation I am facing, can he teach me how to break out of it?"

Perhaps, I could also ask him to teach me this method—a way to easily gain favor and respect from others without having to suppress my dark side!

In this way, can I make friends with others without having to hide my dark side?

If even when I expose my dark side, I can still make others like me and still be willing to be my friend.

I even want them to like my dark side...
