There is something wrong with Hikigaya's classroom of supreme ability

The next two days happened to be the weekend, and Hikigaya didn't have much time to rest because of the student union and club affairs. It was clearly a rest day, but Hikigaya basically stayed on campus all day, like a school animal!

However, there was also a pleasant surprise. He and Akane Tachibana actually got a chance to go out of school. Although they were only supervisors of the club and the time was only two hours, it was enough to make Hikigaya excited for a while.

Then there was the Sudo dispute, which was being discussed on Monday afternoon after school.

Hikigaya gave the injury report to Horikita. If Class C insisted on their own way and was unwilling to accept the terms of reconciliation, then this injury report would play a key role. He believed that Horikita would know how to use this to negotiate with Class C.

On Monday when he went to school, Hikigaya saw Horikita, but the other party looked very bad.

"Are there any problems with the negotiations with Class C?"

Horikita sighed and nodded, "Class C refused to negotiate."

As Hikigaya had initially expected, Class C would definitely not easily accept reconciliation, but Horikita's next words made Hikigaya feel deeply confused.

"Class C somehow got the news that we had no 'witnesses,' so they won't even give us a chance to negotiate. No, they won't even give us a chance to meet."

Horikita sighed: "It seems we'll have to wait and see at the meeting later."

Horikita's words made Hikigaya suddenly serious, and he felt a vague sense of unease in his heart.

After school in the afternoon, Hikigaya came to the door of the student meeting room. At the same time, Ishizaki and others from Class C and Class C's teacher, Mr. Sakagami, were already waiting inside. Not long after, Horikita and Sudo also arrived.

Apart from the defendant Sudo, Horikita was present as a defense attorney. At this moment, Horikita looked like she was looking for someone, and her face showed a lot of dissatisfaction.

Hikigaya checked the time, walked over to Horikita and reminded her, "It's almost time."

Horikita was annoyed that Ayanokouji had not shown up yet, and at this moment, Ayanokouji finally arrived.

"Ayanokouji, what the hell are you..."

Horikita had just finished speaking when she noticed Chabashira-sensei who was following closely behind her, and... a girl behind Chabashira-sensei!

"Sakura?"

Hikigaya looked at Sakura who appeared here in shock, and subconsciously asked: "Why are you here?"

"Yes, it was Horikita who told me that you, Hikigaya-kun, were in trouble, and that this dispute required me to come forward as a witness, so, so I came here, and, and about that camera thing..."

At this point, Sakura suddenly seemed a little at a loss, and hesitated to speak.

Hikigaya suddenly turned around and looked at Horikita, but surprisingly, Horikita also looked bewildered. At this time, Sudo hugged Ayanokouji with a look of joy and shouted: "That's great, Ayanokouji, you really found a witness. Now I'm saved!"

Ling Xiaolu pushed Sudou away expressionlessly, as if it was none of my business, and quickly said, "You misunderstood. It was actually Horikita who found the witness. I was just running errands for her."

"I see, Horikita, you haven't given up on me!"

After hearing what Ayanokouji said, Sudo looked at Horikita with emotion.

"Hey, Ayanokouji, what did you do? Why…"

At this moment, Horikita's face was full of confusion, and she seemed to have no idea what these series of events had to do with her. When she was about to ask Ayanokouji, suddenly, Horikita seemed to have thought of something and quickly looked at Hikigaya not far away. She saw that Hikigaya's face was so gloomy that it was scary.

"Hikigaya, I..."

Just as Horikita was about to step forward to explain, Akane Tachibana came out of the meeting room and urged everyone to start the deliberation. Horikita had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Hikigaya-kun, did I do something wrong?"

Sakura also noticed that something was wrong with Hikigaya's expression and asked in a low voice with anxiety.

Hikigaya took a deep breath and tried to put on a smile to comfort him: "It's okay, Sakura, just tell me what you saw. Nothing else matters."

"Uh-huh!"

After receiving Hikigaya's encouragement, Sakura also took a deep breath and nodded heavily, as if to cheer herself up, and then followed him into the meeting room.

At this time, Hikigaya was the only one left in the corridor. If someone saw him, they would find that Hikigaya's expression was indescribably cold and terrifying.

Hikigaya had done so much before, not only because of a brother who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but another important reason was that he didn't want Sakura to be involved, but the final result was that the girl was still involved.

According to what Sakura said just now, it was 'Horikita' who found her and used the excuse that he was in trouble or something else, and Sakura believed it and successfully lured her out as a witness to testify.

But judging from Horikita's expression just now, this matter was very suspicious, and...he had reached a tacit understanding with Horikita before that he would not reveal the fact that Sakura was an eyewitness. He didn't quite believe that Horikita was a treacherous person who would turn around and stab him in the back.

And there are only three people besides Hikigaya who know that Sakura is a witness, so there are only two people left.

Although Kushida is a possibility, the probability is not high, unless she is ready to fight to the death with him, which is unlikely judging from her recent condition. Then the only other one left is Ayanokouji!

As for which one it was, Hikigaya probably had the answer in his mind.

"Ayanokouji!!"

Hikigaya couldn't help but clench his fists. He had already roughly guessed what was going on. Ayanokouji was very likely to have found Sakura in the name of Horikita, and then used some kind of rhetoric or ambiguous information to induce Sakura to come forward as a witness and testify!

Unfortunately, Ayanokouji didn't know about the tacit understanding that Horikita had reached with him in private, otherwise he would never have used Horikita's name. At the same time, Hikigaya had already guessed who leaked the information here to Class C, thereby preventing negotiations with Class C!

After all, there were only a few people in the room at that time!

Hikigaya probably guessed Ayanokouji's purpose: it was for Sudo! He had cut off the witness's clue in order to force Sudo into a dead end, but Ayanokouji had a trick up his sleeve!

Thinking of this, Hikigaya couldn't help but feel angry!

He was not angry because his plan was disrupted, nor was he angry because he was backstabbed. What really made him angry and annoyed was that the other party actually involved Sakura in order to achieve his goal!

And he even borrowed Horikita's name to try to hide his existence?

Do you really take me for a fool?!

Chapter 130: Deliberation begins.

In the student council meeting room, when Akane Tachibana saw Hikigaya come in, she quietly walked over to him and asked softly, "Are you okay? You don't look right."

Hikigaya shook his head: "It's okay, thank you for your concern, Tachibana-senpai."

Hikigaya composed himself and sat down next to Akane Tachibana with an expressionless face. He was the temporary secretary responsible for recording the entire meeting, so he was just a supporting role in the meeting and had no right to speak.

As the moderator of the deliberation, Akane Tachibana first began to briefly introduce the cause and process of the dispute. During this process, Hikigaya noticed Horikita's condition and looked absent-minded.

Horikita, who usually dares to deal with any situation without any stage fright, unexpectedly lowered his head at this moment, his eyes sometimes looking at himself, and sometimes looking at Horikita Manabu who was sitting at the front of the conference table.

Seeing Horikita in this state, Hikigaya couldn't help but recall the scene he encountered that night in the alley near the dormitory. When facing his brother Horikita Manabu, Horikita at that time was also timid and absent-minded, just like now.

Even if Hikigaya wanted to remind him, as the meeting recorder, he was powerless to do anything.

After Akane Tachibana finished describing the general situation, she looked towards Class D and began to ask questions. Because Horikita was not in good condition, Sudo saw this and told Akane Tachibana that he was slandered by the students of Class C and that he was acting in self-defense.

At the same time, Ishizaki from Class C also said that although it was the three of them who asked Sudo out, they did not expect Sudo to use violence when they disagreed with him. The injuries on their bodies were the best proof of this.

Anyway, both sides are accusing the other side of starting the fight first, but it is clear that this review is not about arguing about who started it first, because these testimonies have already been heard in the previous meeting.

So, Horikita Manabu, who had been silent the entire time, interrupted the argument and said, "There's no need to argue further about this matter. Judging from the injuries on the Class C students and your past bad behavior, Sudo, we have reason to believe that you unilaterally assaulted the Class C students. The last verdict was based on this fact."

"Wait, this doesn't make sense! I already said it was self-defense!!!"

Sudo's emotions seemed to be rising again, but the next second he was calmed down by Horikita Manabu's cold words: "If it's the same testimony as last time, then I think this deliberation is over. There's no need to waste any more time."

At this moment, Tachibana Akane looked in the direction of Class D and asked, "Could you tell me if Class D has found any new testimony or evidence? If not, then this deliberation will proceed according to the previous verdict."

"Wait, wait! We have new evidence that proves the students in Class C are lying!"

Suddenly, Horikita, who had been in an 'offline' state, finally 'resurrected', and Hikigaya saw it clearly. It must be Ayanokouji who was sitting next to Horikita who reminded Horikita.

Afterwards, Horikita first asked the students in Class C some rather sharp questions, but they were all evaded with various excuses. It seemed that they were well prepared. Seeing this, Horikita took out an injury assessment report.

"Please look, everyone. This is the injury report from the school infirmary. According to it, most of the injuries sustained by the students in Class C were caused by secondary or even multiple injuries. The specific circumstances of the injuries are also described. The multiple wounds were separated by a certain time interval, indicating that the injuries on the students in Class C were not inflicted at the same time. If, as you testified, Sudo unilaterally assaulted you, how would you explain this? Are you going to claim that Sudo, unsatisfied after assaulting you, returned to assault you again?"

After Horikita took out the injury assessment report, she began to question Ishizaki and the others. Ishizaki and the other two looked at each other, unable to answer at all. They could only keep emphasizing that "Sudo was the first to hit someone."

In fact, many people present had already noticed the clues. After checking the injury assessment report, Horikita Manabu also handed it to the two homeroom teachers of Class D and Class C. Chabashira teacher very "generously" gave it to Mr. Sakagami of Class C. After reading it with a serious face, the other party looked back at Ishizaki and others, as if everything was self-evident.

As expected, Mr. Sakagami from Class C proposed a reconciliation, which actually meant that both sides were at fault, so both students accepted the suspension. Mr. Sakagami also seemed to understand the "exit dilemma" Sudo faced, so he suggested that the suspension for both sides be kept within two weeks.

So far, everything is going in a good direction. At least Sudo will not be expelled from school because of missing the final exam due to suspension.

At this moment, Hikigaya suddenly noticed someone's gaze on him, it was Horikita. The two looked at each other. Although there was no verbal communication, Hikigaya seemed to be able to read Horikita's thoughts at the moment, and there was a tacit feeling that they understood each other.

Sakura's sudden appearance was indeed beyond Horikita's expectations. Although Sakura's eyewitness testimony plus the injury appraisal report did have a high probability of Sudo being "exonerated", Horikita did not do so because she was also very clear about Hikigaya's intention to protect Sakura.

But Horikita didn't notice Ayanokouji's actions. Ayanokouji suddenly patted Sudo beside him in a subtle way.

"No! This dispute was initiated by you, Class C, from the beginning to the end. We have witnesses here!"

Sudou suddenly shouted.

Horikita suddenly turned around when he heard that, staring at Sudo with wide eyes. Sudo thought Horikita was expressing his admiration for him, and excitedly said to Horikita Manabu: "President, we found the witness who was in the special teaching building that day..."

Things have come to this point, and no matter how much Horikita is unwilling, she has no choice but to continue.

Then Sakura stood up trembling like a timid hamster, and subconsciously looked at Hikigaya in the distance. After seeing the boy's figure, the girl's body seemed to gain a lot of strength. Although her speech was intermittent, she still tried very hard to tell what she saw that day about Sudo fighting with the students of Class C.

"So this D-class student is saying that it was our C-class that started it?"

After listening to Sakura's testimony, Teacher Sakagami sneered, and the C class teacher stared at Sakura with a gloomy look. The girl felt cold all over and almost collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, everyone heard that Mr. Sakagami specifically emphasized Sakura's identity as a student in Class D.

Seeing Sakura's miserable state, Mr. Sakagami turned to look at Horikita Manabu: "Everyone has seen it. Is the testimony of this D-class student really credible? Moreover, as an eyewitness who has only come forward now, it is hard not to suspect that this is a method that D-class came up with to 'get away with it'. Besides, this student is also a D-class student, right!"

Chapter 131 Don’t you want to beat him once?

Mr. Sakagami has clearly expressed his doubts about Sakura's testimony as an eyewitness.

Although there are preconceived notions and conspiracy theories, what Mr. Sakagami said is not without reason.

"Student, as an eyewitness, why didn't you report this to the school immediately after the announcement? From what I understand, it seems your Class D has spent a great deal of manpower and time searching for this so-called eyewitness to no avail, only to 'suddenly appear' so close to the deliberation time?"

"As far as I know, the Special Education Building is usually deserted by students. What was this student's purpose and what was he doing there?"

"If anyone can be considered a witness, then it's a joke."

Facing Mr. Sakagami's sharp questions, every time Sakura wanted to speak, when she saw Mr. Sakagami's gloomy eyes and the pairs of eyes in the conference room, Sakura instantly felt extremely uncomfortable, her body kept shaking, and she stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Fortunately, Horikita quickly spoke up to rescue her and took out an SD card to prove the authenticity of Sakura's confession. Horikita Manabu and the two class teachers browsed through the photos in it, and Mr. Sakagami's expression was the ugliest.

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her confession was accepted.

"However, these photos cannot prove which side started the fight first. In the end, this matter will only end in a stalemate of verbal arguments."

Sakagami-sensei didn't seem to be affected by what had just happened. He looked at Chabashira-sensei across from him with a normal expression: "So how do you feel about following my advice?"

"There are witnesses, photos, and this injury report. Doesn't this prove that I'm innocent? The students in Class C have been lying from the beginning to the end!"

Sudo was immediately displeased when he heard this. If he followed Mr. Sakagami's advice, he would still have to accept suspension in the end. The crisis of expulsion was avoided, but he would not be able to participate in club activities and training!

Mr. Sakagami lowered his glasses and stared at Sudo. "Oh? My dear student, you need evidence to prove your statement. What evidence do you have to prove that our students are lying? Look at the injuries on our students. Didn't you use violence?"

"I, I did hit him, but it was self-defense!"

Sudo retorted stubbornly.

"Haha, that means you did hit someone, and you even admitted it yourself!"

Sakagami-sensei sneered.

At this moment, most people present had only two words to describe Sudo's behavior: idiot!

Seeing that Sudo was about to retort, Horikita's dark face and scolding made Sudo shut up.

"This dispute has already caused a stir among the first years. Continuing it won't benefit anyone. What do you think, Chabashira-sensei?"

Sakagami-sensei suggested again.

"It seems like we have no choice but to accept this compromise. Summer vacation is approaching, so there's really no need to dwell on this."

Chabashira-sensei also made a judgment.

Horikita made the same judgment, but she was still unwilling to accept it. Her unwillingness did not come from guilt towards Sudo, or the still unchangeable review result.

Even though Sakura, the eyewitness, had been implicated, they still had no choice but to accept the compromise plan proposed by the other party. So what was Sakura's "sacrifice"?

At this time, Horikita was more concerned about Sakura, compared to Kigaya's self-blame, and had deep doubts about his own abilities.

Even though we have paid such a huge price, we still can't change anything.

The current situation is even exactly the same as what Hikigaya had expected before, so... was it because he had anticipated this situation that he prevented Sakura from getting involved?

If I can't even solve this kind of problem, do I really have the ability to be promoted to Class A?

"Horikita, is there really no other way?"
