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

A girl with long pink hair and a hot figure greeted Bai Lan.

"Ichinose?"

98. Honami Ichinose VS Suzune Horikita

"Ichinose?"

Upon seeing the person who greeted her, Bai Lan instinctively called out the person's name based on her memory.

"Speaking of which, the last time we spoke was at the orientation meeting. So much time has passed, I thought you had forgotten me. I'm truly touched and honored that you still remember my name," Ichinose said with a smile.

Bai Lan: "It's not because I have a good memory, it's mainly because you have such a strong presence. The guys in my class often talk about your name and features in my ear, so it's impossible for me not to remember you."

"Really? I wonder what they're saying about me? And what impression do I have of you, Shiro?" Ichinose continued, picking up where she left off.

Bai Lan: "The people in our class aren't very good at talking, so it's better not to say anything."

"Huh? Okay, I think I understand..." Ichinose understood instantly.

Because of Bai Lan's direct way of saying that she killed him during the conversation.

Even the sociable Ichinose couldn't find a topic to continue the conversation for a while.

After killing the conversation, Bai Lan naturally took a step and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Shirai was about to leave, Ichinose stopped thinking about social cues and called out to Shirai directly, "Wait, Shirai-kun."

Bai Lan: "What's up?"

"Actually..." After a slight hesitation, Ichinose finally got straight to the point: "Actually, it's not a coincidence that I met you here."

Bai Lan nodded, showing no surprise at all: "I think so. After all, this is the fourth floor, and the first-year students are on the second floor. It's lunchtime now, so unless there are special circumstances, we shouldn't run into each other here."

"Yes, that's right. I actually came here specifically to find you. I saw him running upstairs, so I followed him."

"So, what do you want from me?"

"Actually, I've just been wanting to find an opportunity to thank and apologize to Bai."

First of all, thank you very much, Bai, for reminding us.

Then came the apology.

Back then, despite the competition between classes and the risk of 'betraying the class,' Bai kindly reminded us about the special exam, urging us to be more cautious.

Bai practically laid out the exam answers right in front of us.

However, we disappointed you.

We have let Bai Lan down, rendering her efforts meaningless.

Even knowing the answers, our class still got such terrible grades, lost so many points, and lost so much of our living expenses. Our class even dropped a grade, becoming the first class in decades to fall from the top half to the bottom half, Class B, in just one month.

It's all my fault.

Bai Lan: "Wait, the whole class did this together, ignoring my advice and causing a lot of points to be deducted. How did it become 'it's all your fault'?"

Ichinose explained, "Because everyone chose to trust me and nominated me as a class representative, and they are willing to follow my instructions."

However, because of my stubbornness and overly optimistic view of reality, I told everyone not to think too badly of their classmates. They believed me and thus fell into the trap set by the school and other competing classes without any precautions.

So, it's all my fault.

Everyone trusted me so much, I should have tried to make things better for everyone, but... but I failed to do so, and I let everyone down.

This is all because I didn't take Bai's reminders seriously enough.

If I had taken Bai's reminder seriously and made everyone pay more attention, strictly adhere to the code of conduct for students, and be wary of tactics from other classes, our class wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Not only did they lose a large amount of living expenses, but the class was also burdened with the shame of being the worst Class B in history.

I've felt guilty ever since the class scores came out.

Yesterday, I apologized to everyone in the class and offered to resign from my position as a class committee member.

Everyone in the class is a good person. No one blamed me; instead, they comforted me and didn't even accept my resignation as class committee member.

But the more I feel this way, the more guilty I feel….

As Bai Lan listened to Ichinose's words, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Where is the promised "apology"?

How did it suddenly turn into "pouring out grievances"?

Ichinose has been blaming herself and suppressing her feelings about this incident, but because her classmates are too indulgent towards her, her attempts to confide in them have not received the feedback she needs.

The more her classmates indulged her, the heavier her sense of guilt became.

This made her feel no sense of relief from venting.

Now, having finally encountered Bai Lan, who was also involved in this matter and who didn't know how to be kind or indulgent towards her, Ichinose couldn't help but confide in her.

Bai Lan ultimately did not interrupt her, but simply looked at her with a calm expression.

Ichinose continued, "I can't let my mistakes go unpunished just because my classmates aren't pursuing the matter."

I must find a way to make amends for my mistake.

After thinking about it for a day, I made a decision. Since my classmates still chose to trust me, I couldn't just shirk my responsibility and ignore it after making a mistake.

I must find a way to become a qualified class representative and do my best to lead everyone to a better campus life.

This is the only way I can think of to compensate the class.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help but say so much that has nothing to do with apologizing. I'm sure this has bothered you, Bai.

Bai Lan didn't comfort the other person, but simply clapped her hands lightly and said, "Alright, I've received your gratitude and apology. Okay, that's all."

After saying that, Bai Lan prepared to leave again.

However, at this moment, Ichinose Yu said somewhat anxiously, "No! My gratitude and apology are not just empty words! I intend to repay and make amends to Shiro-kun with my actions!"

"Reward? Compensation?" Bai Lan thought for a moment, then said, "Are you going to give me money? But you wouldn't even pay me for the intelligence you bought back then. Anyway, you didn't trust me and didn't use my intelligence at all, so you don't really owe me anything."

Upon hearing this, Ichinose pretended to think seriously: "Information fee? I don't have many points personally, only a few hundred thousand. If you need them, I can give you all of them."

But I think the value of these points alone is not enough to repay Bai for the help he has given us.

That's all I can say.

Since becoming a class representative, I have only made mistakes, not achieved anything.

Before I actually achieve any results, I don't have the face to ask everyone to contribute points to repay you, Bai.

Therefore, at present, I can only repay Bai in the way I can.

For example, I would do my best to help Bai when she needs it.

I've been looking for that opportunity.

Bai Lan: "Provide me with help? But I don't think I need your help in any way."

However, Ichinose shook her head and said with great certainty, "No, I think that's exactly when Shiro needs help!"

Bai Lan was taken aback: "How did you figure that out?"

"Although I don't have Bai's strong observation skills, I think I'm quite good at perceiving other people's emotions."

From the moment I saw Bai rushing upstairs in the stairwell, I sensed that she seemed quite troubled.

I think Bai must be having some kind of trouble right now.

So I followed.

Although I don't know the specifics, I hope I can be of help.

"Do I look like I have something on my mind?" Bai Lan muttered to herself.

Bai Lan thought about what she was thinking when she went upstairs.

Yes, he was indeed somewhat troubled at the time.

It's all because of Horikita!

Can you believe that Bai Lan was betrayed by the very "shield" he found?

Because of Horikita, when Bai Lan went upstairs, she was mainly thinking about two things.

The first thing: join the student council as soon as possible and get the information he needs.

The second thing: how to deal with Horikita, who is determined to force Bai Lan to help him obtain his brother by constantly causing him trouble.

Now, Ichinose says she wants to help Shirai solve her troubles?

What problems can Ichinose help Shirane solve?

First of all, Ichinose obviously can't help with the student council application.

After all, in this school, apart from the student council president, the admission of other student council members requires the student council president to decide and personally sign the approval documents.

As for the second thing...

Bai Lan sized up Ichinose and recalled the part about Ichinose from the information he had learned from Kushida.

Ichinose.

Full name: Honami Ichinose

Identity and Campus/Social Profile:

[Former leader of Class B] 100% control over the class;

[School Idol] Almost everyone wants to be friends with her; she's an enhanced, plus version of Kikyo Kushida.

Physical ability: [Good] This is a good level in the physical education assessment standards for girls. Considering that she has to bear a "burden" that most people cannot bear during exercise, it is even more commendable and can be given extra points.

Academic performance: [Excellent] It is said that he also scored above 90 points in the small test.

Appearance: Top-notch looks and an exceptional figure.

Bai Lan subconsciously compared Ichinose to Horikita.

In terms of "social status" on campus, Ichinose, as the class "leader" who had 100% control over the original Class B, clearly had a much higher status than Horikita, who was assigned to the original Class D and had no friends in the class. She could not control anyone except herself and had almost zero control over anyone else.

Not to mention, Ichinose is "everyone's Ichinose." Not only are people in her class willing to listen to her, but many people in other classes also want to be her friends and are willing to give her face.
