"Class D trash, don't think you can show off just because you've won a few times. From today on, I will collect every penny I owe you!!!"
Ryuuen stared coldly at Horikita, Chabashira-sensei and the others.
"Oh? I thought it was some wild dog that broke in."
Suddenly, a teasing voice was heard outside the door, and at the same time, Hikigaya's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Chapter 14 The Student Union is absolutely fair.
"I just heard someone outside asking to kneel down."
Hikigaya took in the crowd and sneered, "It seems you're the only one here who deserves to kneel down, Ryuuen."
When Ryuen saw Hikigaya, his expression instantly darkened, but he immediately sneered: "Hikigaya, it seems you don't understand the situation now. Now, if I want to, I can ruin Suzune's reputation. So, I've changed my mind. If you kneel down and beg me now, maybe I'll let her go!"
"Ryūen!!"
Horikita glared at Ryuuen and was about to open her mouth to scold him when Ryuuen said "Shut up right there".
At the same time, Kushida also hurried to Hikigaya's side to explain the whole story, and finally persuaded: "Hikigaya-kun, it is better not to provoke the other party now. After all, this concerns Horikita-san's future."
"is it?"
Hikigaya looked at Kushida deeply, and Kushida instantly felt a chill on his back, but soon found that Hikigaya looked away.
"That's none of my business."
Hikigaya's words left everyone at the scene stunned.
"This is Horikita's problem, not mine."
Hikigaya said as a matter of course: "Since you want to make a big fuss, Ryuuen, then go ahead and ask the school and the student council to come in and review this. Ah... I almost forgot, I'm also a member of the student council."
Hikigaya sneered at Ryuuen: "Didn't you say you would report this? I can now accept the report from your Class C on behalf of the Student Council!"
"Dead fish eyes, do you think I don't dare?!"
Ryuen stared at Hikigaya grimly. "We have the upper hand in both testimony and evidence. As long as we submit this for review, Suzune will definitely lose! You'll regret it!"
"I say... don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Hikigaya said impatiently, "I don't care what the result is. It's not my job to review it, and her life or death is none of my business. I'm just asking you whether you want to report it now or not. Why are you dithering like an old woman?"
"you!!!"
Ryuuen's eyes nearly spit fire, but Hikigaya remained unmoved.
At first, some people did not understand Hikigaya's behavior, but gradually they began to realize that there was something unusual. Chabashira-sensei was the first to react, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes when he looked at Hikigaya.
"Since you won't make a decision, I'll help you."
Hikigaya showed a "disappointed" expression, and then looked at Muxia who was sitting in a wheelchair. Muxia felt a chill on his back when being stared at by Hikigaya.
"Mino Miyamoto from Class 1C, are you sure you want to report Horikita Suzune from Class 1D to the student council for deliberately knocking you down and injuring you during a match?"
"me……"
Mu Xia hesitated and subconsciously looked at Long Yuan beside him.
"Don't be afraid. The school and the student union will never let any bad guy go, nor will they wrongly accuse any good person, so you don't have to worry!"
Hikigaya then slapped his forehead as if remembering something, then said in sudden realization, "Ah, I see. You're worried about the student council president being Horikita's brother. Don't worry, the student council is fair. I'm right, aren't I, President?"
Hikigaya's next words made everyone stunned. They subconsciously followed Hikigaya's gaze. At this time, a serious boy wearing glasses appeared outside the door.
"elder brother……"
Horikita looked at the figure at the door in shock, and subconsciously shrank her neck.
Not only Horikita, but everyone else was startled by Horikita Manabu who suddenly appeared at the door.
"I heard everything you said just now."
Horikita Manabu replied calmly.
"Look, the president has said so, so he won't bend the law for personal gain. You don't have to worry. Precisely because he's Horikita's brother, I'm even more confident that he won't deliberately favor his sister at the deliberation meeting, nor will he confuse right and wrong, and certainly won't make things difficult for you afterwards, or resort to retaliatory tactics like that. Am I right, Muxia-san?"
Hikigaya looked at Muxia and said with a smile.
Mu Xia's face did not feel relieved by Hikigaya's words. Instead, it was uneasy and frightened. Especially when looking at Hikigaya, it was as if he saw something terrible and he didn't dare to look directly at him.
"Eh? What's wrong with you, classmate Mucha? I know you're a member of the track and field team and you recently competed in a competition and won a great result. You're a valuable asset to the school, and now your foot is injured, which is a loss for the school. If someone did it maliciously, please rest assured that even if you're kind enough not to pursue the matter, the school will definitely not sit idly by! Such bad behavior must be punished by expulsion as a warning to others!"
Hikigaya looked at Muxia and Ryuuen with a half-smile. "Even if the culprit is the president's sister, or even the principal's daughter, this is no exception! Muxia, Ryuuen, do you think this is a suitable solution?"
Hikigaya's words were clearly meant to mock Horikita, but everyone could understand the meaning behind Hikigaya's words. Among them, Mu Xia was so frightened that she was trembling with panic.
Long Yuan's expression was also very ugly.
but……
"Hahahaha, Hikigaya, do you think you can scare me with these tricks?!"
Ryuen stared at Hikigaya gloomily. "Do you really think I wouldn't tell anyone about this? You're just betting I wouldn't dare, right? Okay, I'm going to make a big deal out of this today!!! Not only will you lose everything, but I'm also going to expel that Suzune from school!"
"That's great!"
Hikigaya clapped his hands and cheered: "It would be great if we could really get Horikita to drop out of school. Don't you know that the president also wants his stupid sister to drop out of school? If you can help, I think the president will be very grateful to you!"
Ryuuen: "..." Horikita's expression was also very strange, and even his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. On the contrary, Horikita Manabu had a calm expression, as if he was not affected at all.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare?!"
Long Yuan gritted his teeth, and even bloodshot could be seen in his eyes!
"What are you afraid of?"
Hikigaya's expression gradually turned cold. "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if something goes wrong, it will be Horikita or Muxia who will bear the responsibility. It will be one of them who will drop out of school. It has nothing to do with you, Ryuuen, so why are you afraid?"
Mu Xia's face turned pale when he heard this: "Well, I think it is..."
Mu Xia had just said half of her words when she saw Long Yuan looking like he wanted to eat someone. She was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth and dared not make a sound.
Ryuuen stared at Hikigaya intently, as if he wanted to see something in Hikigaya's eyes, but unfortunately, there was only coldness, indifference, and... ridicule!
15
Chapter 15 I'll help you make things bigger.
Hikigaya forcefully demands that Ryuen report the matter to the school, but on the contrary... Ryuen, who had just been clamoring to make a big deal out of it and report it to the school for review, now reversed his previous clamoring behavior.
The abnormal behavior before and after this naturally aroused the suspicion of many people. When Horikita first saw Hikigaya, she felt like she had suddenly grabbed a lifebuoy when she was drowning, but the next second Hikigaya's actions and words were as if she had just grabbed the lifebuoy and was ruthlessly kicked away by the other party. A feeling of despair arose spontaneously.
It turns out that no one will come to save me...
But now Horikita realized that the other party was not giving up on her, but wanted her to learn how to save herself.
Compared to just now when he couldn't see the situation clearly and was misled by Ryuuen, Horikita has now gradually seen the full picture of the matter.
"The student council president is here, and there are teachers present too. Since Class C believes that this incident is Class D's fault, you can report it to the school for review. Isn't that exactly what you wanted to see? Where did that decisive aura go?"
Hikigaya paid no attention to Ryuen's gloomy expression and slowly approached Muxia Minori. "Muxia, your foot must be hurting right now. You must be full of resentment towards the guy who hurt you. After all, you're a strong contender for the starting lineup on the track and field team. Judging by your injury, you won't be able to recover without a month or two of rest, and it's unclear whether there will be any sequelae. This must be very frustrating for you."
Mu Xia lowered her head and bit her lips. Hikigaya's words seemed to completely hit the other person's inner weakness.
"So I fully support you speaking out against the injustice you've suffered. The Student Union will absolutely uphold justice for you, ensuring you receive the necessary punishment and compensation. Of course, the premise is that this incident was premeditated and intentional."
But suddenly Hikigaya changed the subject: "But I also have the obligation to remind you of one thing. Cheating and slander are very serious matters. If discovered, the consequences will be very serious. It may not reach the point of expulsion, but... I think it will be a huge obstacle to your future career planning.
Of course, what I just said are just assumptions. I just want to clarify the interests for you so that you can make a clear judgment. So, classmate Mu Xia, your decision is..."
"Hey, you dead-eyed guy, this is our Class C..."
Ryuuen spoke with an unhappy look on his face.
"shut up!"
Hikigaya turned around and stared coldly at Ryuuen: "I'm not asking you!"
"I**"
Ryuuen was enraged by Hikigaya's contemptuous and even dismissive attitude, and raised his fist as if ready to rush forward to fight.
"First grade, please watch your words."
Horikita Manabu, who had been keeping silent and even seemed like an outsider, finally spoke, which also made Ryuuen pause. Although Horikita Manabu's words were only a simple sentence, they were a warning to Ryuuen.
No matter what the reason is, Long Yuan will only have the consequences if he takes action in front of the student council president!
Just one sentence was enough to shock Ryuuen, who even ignored his teacher.
"me……"
Mu Xia looked up at Ryuen opposite her, and saw that he was like a man-eating beast. If she was targeted by him, she would be bitten to death at any time. But when she thought of what Hikigaya had just said, she felt that compared to this man-eating beast, he was more like a black hole.
One is fear, the other is fear of the unknown.
"I, I don't know."
Mu Xia couldn't help but curl up tightly, like a wounded rabbit, full of helplessness and anxiety.
"Well, your foot is injured and what you need now is rest. So take a good rest for now."
As he was speaking, a girl came hurriedly to the door.
"Hiyori, please take care of Muxia-san."
Hikigaya said to the girl at the door.
The person who came was Hiyori. Hiyori first looked at Ryuuen who looked uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly not far away, then looked at Muxia who was sitting in a wheelchair full of anxiety and fear, then nodded to Hikigaya, and then Hiyori prepared to take Muxia away.
"Hey, Hiyori, figure out your own identity!"
Hiyori didn't turn around after hearing this. Instead, she faced Ryuuen with her back, and her tone was unexpectedly cold. "All I know now is that Muxia needs a quiet environment to recuperate, rather than being displayed here as a tool. Secondly... before discussing positions, I think we should discuss right and wrong."
After saying that, Hiyori no longer paid any attention to Ryuuen, whose face was extremely gloomy behind him, and left with Muxia.
boom!
Suddenly, Ryuuen kicked the chair beside him to the ground, walked quickly to Hikigaya and suddenly stopped, staring at Hikigaya with gloomy eyes, then left without saying a word.
After Ryuuen left, everyone else in the room seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, especially Horikita, who felt as if a new light had finally appeared after a dark period.
"Hey, Horikita."
Suddenly, a lunch box was handed to Horikita.
"This is the lunch I bought for you. I didn't expect you to get into such trouble just after leaving for a while."
Hikigaya, holding a plastic bag in his hand, continued, "It seems that you have been targeted by that idiot king. You should be more careful in the future."
"me……"
Horikita bit her lip in shame. It was indeed her carelessness this time. If Hikigaya hadn't rescued her, she might have fallen into the trap set by Ryuuen, which would have been a real disaster.
"Some things can't be taken for granted. The more you take them for granted, the more you fall into the other party's trap. After this incident, I think you know exactly where you failed."
Horikita couldn't help but look up at Hikigaya across from her, her eyes filled with complexity.
Indeed, if Hikigaya hadn't suddenly intervened, Horikita wouldn't have been able to detect Ryuuen's true trap!
In fact, even if this matter was reported to the school for review, the final result would probably be "settlement". Even if Horikita really lost the case in the end, the punishment she received would not necessarily be severe. Therefore, what Ryuen seized on was not the punishment itself, but the use of this incident to make Horikita feel worried and fearful.
In other words, Ryuuen was using the fact that Horikita didn't want to implicate others, especially her brother, to threaten and force Horikita. He also took advantage of Horikita's strong self-esteem and made this plan.
It seems that he is using Natsuki to frame Horikita, but in fact he is using Horikita's psychological weaknesses to set a trap, thus gradually breaking down Horikita's psychological defenses.
Horikita didn't realize this and was being led by Ryuuen, while Hikigaya, who realized this, did the opposite!
Since you, Ryuuen, want to take advantage of Horikita's psychological weakness, then I will 'help' you. If you, Ryuuen, want to make a big deal out of this, then I will help you make a big deal out of this!
Hikigaya directly held Ryuen down, and because of this, Horikita finally saw through Ryuen's conspiracy!
16
Chapter 16: Too much dad flavor.
Horikita's mood at this moment was also very complicated, not only because of this incident, but also because of Hikigaya in front of him. The more he came into contact with him and the more he understood him, the more Horikita felt the gap between himself and the other party.
"Brother, why is brother here?"
