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

Isn't this just going back to square one?

Really...

Bai Lan made them, and Bai Lan also brought them down.

Sure enough, Bai Lan is a "chaotic creature"!

He's just playing around!

Wait, something's not right.

Chabashira turned to her best friend: "Chie, tell me, your class didn't buy any intelligence?"

The smile that used to grace Hoshinomiya's face had vanished at some point, replaced by a pitiful expression.

"Yes, Saeko, am I about to become like you? I'm so scared!"

"What do you mean by 'my current status'?" Upon hearing this, Chashu showed a look of disgust, as if he was enduring something, but soon... the corners of his mouth finally couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

She knew perfectly well that she shouldn't be laughing.

But I just couldn't resist.

.......

In the following days, Bai Lan continued to follow Karuizawa after school every day.

Although no significant results have been achieved yet.

To ascertain Karuizawa's attitude towards him, Bai Lan would take every opportunity to make eye contact with Karuizawa every time he entered the classroom through the front door.

Every time Bai Lan saw Karuizawa's strong and sharp eyes, she felt a sense of security and then became even more motivated.

Besides, Bai Lan used this extracurricular activity to pass the time during what was a somewhat difficult period of his school years.

It could even be said that for Bai Lan, following Karuizawa was no longer just about "finding a scapegoat." It had also become Bai Lan's main form of entertainment and exercise after school these past few days.

Because of her agreement with Hirata, Bai Lan could no longer continue her efforts to incite hatred against Class D.

While tracking Karuizawa, Shirai learned about the other classes through information gathered by Kushida.

Simply put, the situation is not good.

At least that's how it is for Bai Lan.

Although all classes have reacted to the "chaotic fighting," they are currently in the preparation stage. Apart from Class C, which is quite lively, the situation is generally peaceful.

Class A seemed to be planning to play defensively and wait for the right moment to attack. They simply did what students were supposed to do every day: study hard, follow the rules, and the atmosphere in the class was very tense and serious. They were meticulous in everything they did, and they looked like social elites.

Class B remained cheerful and relaxed, showing no sense of urgency whatsoever.

As for Class C.

Class C was the most turbulent. From the day they enrolled, Ryuen began to try to use violence to rule the entire Class C.

However, because he had just been beaten by Bai Lan and was in poor condition, Long Yuan almost lost several times. But with his indomitable perseverance, he eventually survived and made a comeback with a sliver of health, defeating the target he intended to subdue.

When Bai Lan first learned that Long Yuan planned to use violence against others, he originally intended to beat Long Yuan up and get a disciplinary action or something.

As a result, every time he found Long Yuan, he discovered that Long Yuan's injuries seemed to be more serious than the "victim's," making it difficult for him to take action. He was afraid of accidentally injuring or even killing him.

That would be a criminal case!

Therefore, Bai Lan could only endure it, planning to wait until Long Yuan recovered before giving him a proper beating.

Bai Lan suspected that the reason Long Yuan was able to defeat his opponents time and time again with only a sliver of health left was because his opponents, seeing Long Yuan's miserable state, were afraid of accidentally finishing off the weakened Long Yuan and dared not use their full strength.

In this hesitant and timid state, by the time he realized what was happening, he had already been killed by Long Yuan and was left with very low health.

With everyone else also low on health, they simply couldn't risk it all and couldn't outmaneuver the relentless and ruthless Long Yuan, so they had no choice but to surrender.

Really amazing.

In short, for various reasons, Bai Lan simply couldn't find an opportunity to take action against other classes and get punished.

With nothing to do, Bai Lan spent most of her time after school following Karuizawa to pass the time during her unbearable school days.

The "peaceful" life continued in this way.

Fortunately, the "peaceful" life did not last long. Before Bai Lan became completely fed up with the status quo, the "peace" was finally broken!

Bai Lan's investigation finally yielded results on this day!

55. The Abnormalities of Karuizawa

Bai Lan's investigation has finally yielded results!

One day after Bai Lan had been following them for a week.

After school that day.

Karuizawa went shopping with the other members of the Gyaru group as usual. After their usual routine of playing and eating, they returned to their dorm around 7 or 8 pm when it got dark.

But then, something different happened.

Today, Karuizawa did not go upstairs with the other girls. Instead, she parted ways with her companions at the dormitory entrance, turned around, and went to a place alone.

Bai Lan naturally followed without hesitation.

Subsequently, Bai Lan discovered that the places Karuizawa went to were becoming more and more remote, with fewer and fewer people around.

Perhaps because she felt alone, Bai Lan noticed that Karuizawa seemed to have an expression on his face that she didn't usually see.

She seemed very nervous and acting suspiciously.

Late at night, someone went to such a remote place.

He even acted like he had something to hide.

Bai Lan felt that the other party was most likely up to something shady.

Could it be that Karuizawa is planning to lure someone here so he can secretly bully them?

It can't be that Karuizawa, like Kushida, has some side that she doesn't want others to see, a side that's very different from her usual self, and needs to find a secluded place to vent it secretly.

Kushida told Shirai that in the past, to vent her emotions, she would find a secluded place and kick and curse at sturdy objects like railings or big trees.

Kushida did this to hide his unlikable side.

Karuizawa's assertive and shrewish image isn't exactly endearing, is it?

Is there anything else worth hiding?

As Bai Lan secretly followed, she couldn't help but make some assumptions.

On the surface, Kushida is a gentle, cute, and sweet-talking pure white angel, but in reality, she is a dark little devil who likes to criticize, argue, and even threaten others.

According to this pattern.

Could it be that Karuizawa is actually a weak, timid, and cowardly girl on the surface, but secretly she is also a strong and feisty girl?

Is he fierce and menacing during the day, but secretly hides away and cries at night?

Bai Lan recalled the feedback he received each day when he looked at Karuizawa to test his attitude towards him.

That unwavering, assertive, and sharp gaze.

Karuizawa even seemed to take Shirai's probing as a kind of "challenge," so her response became more and more forceful and sharp each day.

This even made Bai Lan, a couple of days ago, unable to resist his competitive spirit and react to Karuizawa's gaze, subconsciously using the "apex predator's gaze" that he had painstakingly learned.

This is a skill used for wilderness survival.

When encountering a wild beast, if you feel that you may not be able to escape, you can use this specially trained eye contact to make the other party feel threatened at the same level.

Predatory beasts generally do not attempt to prey on beings of their own level.

After all, they just want to fill their stomachs and survive; they don't want to fight or even get hurt, because getting hurt would at least reduce their fighting ability, or at worst, lead to death.

Therefore, for them, engaging in combat with predators of the same level would come at a cost far exceeding the benefits.

Unless the beast you encounter is so hungry that it will devour you if you don't fight it out, then the two sides will most likely remain at peace.

However, Karuizawa did not back down even after seeing Shirai's gaze.

This shows that Karuizawa is very confident. She is very self-assured and believes that if Bai Lan makes trouble for her, she will at least tear a piece of flesh from Bai Lan and make Bai Lan feel pain.

At least that's what she thought.

Her eyes conveyed that meaning.

It's impossible that she, like Bai Lan, had specifically trained in this kind of thing, right?

This kind of gaze isn't something you can just practice casually. It requires truly confronting something that is terrifying to you, maintaining thought amidst fear, recognizing fear, accepting fear, understanding fear, and finally, becoming fear itself!

Very difficult.

Why would she practice this for no reason?

Before Bai Lan could even rule out this possibility in her mind...

Suddenly, Bai Lan noticed a dimly lit figure ahead of Karuizawa.

Upon seeing the figure, Karuizawa quickened his pace and jogged towards it with a clear purpose.

The answer has been revealed.

Karuizawa's sneaky behavior today wasn't because she intended to reveal her secrets like Kushida did; rather, she had made an appointment with someone else.

Upon seeing this, Bai Lan immediately abandoned her unfinished conjecture and focused her attention on the two people who had met.

Bai Lan noticed that the figure was wearing a school uniform, with pants underneath, indicating that the person was a boy.

The boy had a tall and slender build, slim yet strong, like a nimble cheetah, probably the kind of guy that would appeal to most girls.

Because the lighting was dim, Bai Lan couldn't see the other person's face clearly for a moment.

Judging from the blurry facial features, the person is probably good-looking.

The other party arrived earlier than Karuizawa.

Moreover, his posture was very upright, without any unnecessary movements, making him appear to be a very proper, dutiful, and well-mannered person.

A very well-behaved, honest, and cultured person, roughly speaking, would be described as an "honest person".

It gives off a feeling that you can bully them.
