The chairman walked back to him and looked at him seriously. "In order to protect our lifeline, we have formulated school rules and strictly abide by them. School rules are just unnecessary and outdated rules for you teenagers, but they have a different meaning for us. I hope you don't think I am heartless. It's not that I don't sympathize with Shiyin, but this kind of sympathy cannot exceed the limit of lifeline."

For some reason, after hearing the chairman's explanation, Mogami Jun actually understood him a little bit.

If he was really heartless, there would have been no need for him to go against everyone's opinion and keep Sagihara Shion.

But there was still one thing he wanted to understand.

"So, when you kept Sagihara Shion, did you intend to make her a toy for Hyoudou Takako?"

"Of course not!" Horikawa Nobuyasu immediately shook his head and denied it flatly. "We are at most powerless to stop Hyodo Takako's reckless behavior, but we are not to the point of aiding and abetting her. She is very cunning and makes everyone who opposes her agree voluntarily, so that we cannot intervene... We can only observe in secret and hope that nothing irreversible will happen."

"If we really want to intervene, there must be a way..." Mogami Jun replied in a low voice.

"Mogami-kun, you are still young. It is good for young people to be passionate, but many things cannot be solved by passion alone," the chairman replied in a low voice after a moment of silence, "Everyone has a limit to justice. Unfortunately, the justice of the Horikawa family can only go so far."

"If that's the case, then why do we have to let Sagihara-senpai be a toy again?" Mogami Jun asked, "She barely managed to escape death that year, and now we have to let her face it again?"

"Mogami-kun, you're taking the problem too seriously. Hyoudou Takako just came back to take a look, and there's no chance of causing any trouble. The reason why Shion was asked to come forward is because the two of them are old friends, and it can also give others a reason to keep Shion, that's all." The chairman smiled slightly, then stroked his beard again, "Besides, even if Hyoudou Takako really wants to mess around, I can assure you here that Shion will not be in any danger. After all, our school will not let anyone do such a thing."

"If this kind of guarantee is so useful, then I wouldn't have watched her do whatever she wants." Mogami Jun didn't quite believe it. "How about this, let me take over, or let's entertain this senior together - I don't believe she is so powerful that I can't do anything about it."

The Jiu Ling

"Unfortunately, no." The chairman shook his head. Although his attitude was gentle, he did not give Jun Mogami much room to refute. "The school's arrangements will not change because of your likes and dislikes."

Mogami Jun lowered his eyes.

It seems useless to say anything now.

But I will find a way to make you agree, even though you are the chairman of the school who has the final say.

"In that case, I have nothing to say." After a long while, he replied in a low voice.

"Okay, you can go back." The old man waved his hand and seemed not to say anything else.

Jun Mogami bowed slightly to the other party, then turned around and walked out of the office without looking back.

"What a troublesome young man."

Looking at his departing back, the old man could only smile bitterly.

After the office door was closed again, the old man stood there blankly for a moment, then walked back to his desk, picked up the brush, dipped it in the ink in the inkstone, and finally wrote four Chinese characters on the unfolded scroll.

"Noble and pure."

40. Threat

As school was about to end, the gate of Kita Akabane Private School opened and a bustling flow of people appeared again. Some students chose to go home directly, while others gathered in twos and threes and started their after-school activities.

In the commercial street not far from the school, many female students gathered at this moment. Some were busy shopping, while others went to karaoke together, which has always been the favorite after-school activity for high school girls.

At this time, in a karaoke room, several girls wearing Kita Akabane School uniforms gathered together.

The wallpaper in the room is all pink, and even the sofa and pillows are pink fluffy, giving it a sweet girlish style. In front of the screen, there is a girl standing in the middle. She is very beautiful, with light brown side bangs. She is holding a microphone and singing, while other girls are sitting around her and watching her sing, like the moon surrounded by stars.

"君がいてPUがいたなつかしいよるの、ほしぞらのかがやきが天もまだzanる..." Her sweet singing voice echoed in the small room, and finally fell silent.

"Wow! It sounds great! Yuzu-chan is so great!" After a moment of silence, the other girls applauded and cheered.

She closed her eyes slightly and enjoyed the feeling very much.

Mayu Takasaki is, as always, loved and popular among the public.

Since a long time ago, she has always been surrounded by a group of admirers. She also likes to take her little sisters shopping and singing, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention, and it is still the same today.

But today is a little different.

She put down the phone, then pretended to sigh, acted tired, and looked at a classmate next to her.

"Ah, I'm a little tired. Rino-chan, let's go to the bathroom together?"

The girl is pretty, but she wears heavy makeup, has long eyebrows and thin lips, making her look a little frivolous and mean.

She is Honda Rino, who was in the same junior high school class as Mayu.

Seeing Zhenyou say this, she smiled knowingly, then immediately stood up and walked to Zhenyou's side.

"Yeah! I want to go too!"

So the two of them walked out, and no one noticed that there was anything unusual about their expressions.

Soon, they arrived at the women's bathroom.

As soon as she arrived here, the smile on Mayu's face disappeared and was replaced by a worried expression.

"Yuzu-chan, don't worry, it's nothing serious." Honda Rino felt that Zhenyu was worried that the matter would be exposed, so she comforted her, "Look, there was no problem last time, right? Just relax, get good grades and let everyone know how good you are!"

Humph, what do you mean it's okay? It's all revealed, and you still say it's okay? Zhenyou said coldly in her heart.

She is now fed up with this "friend" who likes to brag and show off. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been dragged into such trouble.

She was very anxious and uneasy at the moment, but because she had learned to conceal her inner feelings since childhood, she was quite calm.

"Okay, thank you Rino-chan..." Mayu nodded slightly, then looked at the other party with a smile on her face, "Did you bring the things?"

"Don't worry, I'm a reliable person!" Honda Rino made an OK gesture and took out a few pages of folded paper from her wallet.

Then, she unfolded the paper again and handed it to Takasaki Mayu, with a smile on her face as if she was presenting a treasure, "You-chan, look!"

With complicated thoughts, Takasaki Mayu's hands trembled slightly, and then she took the pages of paper.

She took a quick look and found that there were a lot of options such as ABCD written on it, and several math problems and essay questions and answers were copied on it.

There is no doubt that this is the question and answer for the next exam.

This guy really wasn't bragging this time... Takasaki Mayu sighed in her heart.

"Yuzu-chan, how is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Honda Rino asked with a smile.

"Thank you, Rino-chan." Takasaki Mayu nodded, then carefully folded the papers again and put them in her wallet. "Let's play first today and remember the answers when we get home."

"Well, it's okay. There's still some time before the next exam. It's okay to memorize slowly~" Honda Rino clapped her hands exaggeratedly, "Yuzu-chan, please give me a few more signed posters. There are many people in our class who want them."

Takasaki Mayu frowned imperceptibly.

She has always disliked her friends asking her for autographs or merchandise, but this time she had no choice but to give in.

"Okay, it's okay, just bring it over tomorrow, Rino-chan, and Yuzu-chan will sign it for you guys!"

"That's great..." Honda Rino smiled happily. She really liked the feeling of being close to a celebrity.

"Okay, let's go back." Takasaki Mayu smiled faintly.

"Uh-huh!"

Then, the two girls walked out of the bathroom and went back the way they came.

Zhenyou walked in front, came to the door of a private room, opened the door and went in.

"Hey, we're not in this room... isn't it the one next door?" Honda Rino was a little surprised.

She seemed to remember that she didn't come out from here just now.

However, since Zhenyou had come, she subconsciously followed him in.

Soon, she realized something was wrong.

There are no girls in this box, only a boy wearing the school uniform!

"Yuzu-chan..."

For a moment, her brain almost crashed. She just watched Zhenyou walk up to the tall and thin boy, then took out the pages of paper from her wallet and handed them to him.

“You…what are you doing!?”

Honda Rino's expression changed from confusion to horror.

Oops, fell into a trap.

She subconsciously wanted to rush over and snatch back the pages of paper, but soon she felt something was wrong and immediately stopped and wanted to run back.

But it was too late at this time. The boy rushed to the door and closed it.

The room suddenly fell into darkness.

"Hello, Honda-san." Then, he smiled and greeted Honda Rino. "Finally, I have the chance to meet you..."

Although he looked okay, Honda Rino was extremely frightened at the moment. The dim light made the boy look even more hideous and terrifying in her eyes.

"You! Who are you and what do you want to do!" She stumbled back and fell on the sofa, "Don't come over here!"

"I won't hurt you, I just have something to tell you."

Seeing the other party's reaction, Jun Mogami stopped and did not put too much pressure on the other party.

He exchanged a glance with Zhenyou.

Zhenyou hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Rino-chan, I'm sorry... Yuzu-chan thought about it for a long time, and still felt that we couldn't do something that violated school rules..."

"You...you betrayed us?" Honda Rino finally reacted and screamed in anger, "Is this how you treat your friends?"

She shouted very loudly because of anger. Fortunately, the box was well soundproofed, otherwise someone would have come over long ago.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…but Yuzu-chan…Yuzu-chan can’t watch everyone make mistakes…” Tears appeared in the corners of Zhenyu’s eyes, and it was unclear whether they were real or fake.

"Are you still trying to fool people with these fake compassionate tears at this time?" Honda Rino was extremely angry and didn't listen to her explanation at all. "If you don't want to make a mistake, just go away. No one is begging you to cheat, why do you have to tell on others and betray your friends?! I never thought you were this kind of person! Shameless!"

She cursed very badly, but Mayu didn't know how to defend herself, so she just looked up at Mogami Jun.

"You can still justify your cheating so confidently, that's really amazing." Mogami Jun said calmly, mocking the other party, "Instead of scolding others, you might as well think about how you will face the punishment yourself."

"Who are you? What does it have to do with you?" Honda Rino still looked at him without any fear, "Are you Shinyu's follower? Let me tell you, this guy is two-faced. Don't be fooled by her cute appearance. In her eyes, you are just a bunch of dogs!"

Looking at Mayu's ugly expression, Mogami Jun couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Maybe your opinion about Yuzu-chan does make sense, but I don't really care who Yuzu-chan is right now." He intentionally shook the pages in his hand, making them rustle slightly, "I care about this."

At this time, Honda Rino's anger finally faded a little, and rationality returned to her mind.

"You... who are you? What do you want?"

"My name is Jun Mogami. If you've paid attention to the school's academic record list, you should know who I am." Jun Mogami replied proudly, "As for what I want? Is that even a question? I want justice."

Seeing the other party's face turn pale instantly, Mogami Jun continued to attack mercilessly, "Did you cheat in the last exam? Your boyfriend Sakai Koichi also took away my place. What do you think I should do?"

"You..." Honda Rino gasped.

Only then did she truly face the meaning of her actions.

Relying on cheating to gain unfair competitive advantage in exams and trample on the efforts of others.

"I found out you were cheating, so I asked Mayu to help find you. She was also forced into this by me. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I will take all the responsibility." Mogami Jun looked at the other person coldly, "Then tell me, Honda Rino, what are you going to do?"

Honda Rino's face became paler and paler, and she began to tremble slightly, as if she was imagining the terrible consequences.

After a moment, tears welled up in her eyes. She stood up from the sofa and bowed deeply to Jun Mogami.

"I'm sorry, we were wrong... We will never do this again. Please forgive us this time, considering that we are classmates in the same school."

To be honest, she did look quite pitiful, but Jun Mogami didn't have much sympathy.

There are too many people who never feel guilty when they do bad things, and only when they face the horror of punishment will they become truly afraid and repent.

But their fear and repentance are worthless. Once the terror of punishment disappears, they will return to their original state, unchanged, and may even become worse because they are glad that they have escaped punishment.

He didn't know whether Honda Rino was such a person. Maybe she really was the kind of person who knew how to mend her ways, but he had no interest in taking a chance.

"I can forgive you. This is easy." Mogami Jun's words surprised Honda Rino at first, but he quickly changed the subject and brought her back to square one. "But in exchange, you must tell me where the test paper came from and which teacher gave it to you? Once you explain this question, there will be nothing else for you to do."

Anger surged into Honda Rino's heart again, and even Mogami Jun could hear the sound of her gnashing teeth.

But Jun Mogami was not moved at all.

"Think about it. If you don't tell me, you will have to take all the responsibility. If you tell me, I will forgive you and Sakai Koichi." Mogami Jun looked at him calmly. "It's a simple multiple-choice question. Even if you don't cheat, you should know how to choose, right?"

41, Negotiation

"It's a simple multiple-choice question. Even if you don't cheat, you should know how to choose, right?"

Jun Mogami's tone was sharp and sarcastic, and Honda Rino felt very uncomfortable hearing it.

She kept gritting her teeth and looking at Mogami Jun hatefully. She didn't speak for a long time, as if she was thinking about something.
