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

"With so many witnesses at the scene, don't you think what you just said is ridiculous?"

Hikigaya said calmly, "Besides, the matter of 'unauthorized installation of surveillance cameras' is far more serious than your fight. Witnesses, physical evidence, and confessions are all crucial. I hope you think carefully before you speak. Don't blame me for not warning you if something goes wrong. Words can cause disaster."

Ishizaki's face turned red immediately, but he didn't dare to get angry, for fear that Hikigaya was setting a trap for him again. If he fell for it, he would be doomed!

Chapter 143: Speak ill of each other.

"We already have a general understanding of the circumstances surrounding this matter, but 'unauthorized installation of surveillance cameras' is, after all, a very serious and detrimental violation, so we need to conduct a detailed investigation into the entire matter. We will resolutely not wrongly accuse any good person, but we will also absolutely not let any bad person off the hook."

As soon as Hikigaya finished speaking, Ishizaki saw Hikigaya's gaze fall on him first. Those eyes were so cold that they made people feel cold. Ishizaki suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Scenes from the night before the midterm exam and the lunch break at noon flashed through his mind unconsciously. He swallowed unconsciously and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Fortunately, Hikigaya quickly looked away, and Ishizaki felt as if he had been pulled out of the water. When he saw Hikigaya's eyes just now, Ishizaki felt like a lamb to be slaughtered, as if he would be eaten by the other party in the next second!

The inexplicable feeling of oppression made him shudder. Even compared to facing Ryuen's violent uniform, Ishizaki had never felt such "fear"!

Yes, just now Ishizaki personally felt a fear coming from deep within his heart, a psychological fear that was even more terrifying than the physical fear!

But this feeling of fear was fleeting, and Ishizaki couldn't help but wonder whether it was just his illusion or he was too nervous and scared himself?

Then Hikigaya looked at Ichinose. The pink-haired girl no longer looked relaxed as she did in the past. The gloomy expression on her face completely betrayed her inner feelings. She looked like she was trapped in a state of constant self-blame and pain.

And from beginning to end, Ichinose kept avoiding Hikigaya's gaze, like a child who had done something wrong, and did not dare to look Hikigaya in the eye.

"Ichinose."

Hearing Hikigaya's voice, Ichinose looked up, but kept avoiding Hikigaya's gaze.

"If you think that escaping from this situation will solve the problem, then I just want to say that I am very disappointed in you, Ichinose."

"me……"

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Ichinose couldn't help but let out a low "wuwu" sound, and finally looked into Hikigaya's eyes, but the girl's eyes were full of pointing and regret, but more of it was a helpless pain.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Hikigaya-kun. You warned me specifically, but I still acted on my own will. You were right last night. I feel sorry for myself and for others!"

Ichinose bit her lip. It seemed that this incident had a great impact on her.

"Indeed, as the leader of Class B, you acted so recklessly. You harmed not only yourself, but also the other students who trusted you!"

After hearing Hikigaya's scolding, Ichinose blamed herself even more. Her originally gentle and sunny face was replaced by self-blame and pain. At this moment, the pink-haired girl looked so pitiful that no one could bear to blame her. It made people feel distressed.

But Hikigaya seemed not to notice and said in a serious tone: "I don't know if you have ever considered what the other students in your class would think if something happened to you, and what kind of bad situation would happen to the class.

A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. If you still want to continue to be kind and be called a 'good man, a good person' to satisfy your vanity, I advise you not to be the leader of Class B. Such self-indulgent people are really disgusting! "

What Hikigaya said was extremely harsh. If the students from Class B were present, they would definitely rush up and beat Hikigaya up. Unfortunately, there were no other students from Class B at the scene. But even so, Hirata, Kushida and others couldn't help but speak up to defend Ichinose. After all, it was Class D who wronged Class B first this time, and Class B also helped Class D a lot in this process.

Ishizaki and others who witnessed all this couldn't help but gasp. Hikigaya was too cruel and heartless. How dare he say such "bad words" to Ichinose, the most popular and beloved student in the first grade?

He is indeed the man who once defeated Ryuuen-ge!

A hint of admiration flashed in Ishizaki's eyes.

Hikigaya ignored the others' gazes and sneered, "Ichinose, you're lucky this time, but you won't always be so lucky, and luck comes at a price!"

Having said that, Hikigaya couldn't help but look at Haruno, who looked innocent, as if she couldn't hear anything and knew nothing.

Hikigaya ignored Ichinose's plan and turned to walk in front of Horikita, staring at her silently.

"Keep your head up."

But... Horikita didn't respond.

"Why, are you feeling ashamed?"

Hikigaya sneered: "Oh, no, you should be too shameless to embarrass yourself again now!"

Horikita seemed to be enraged when she heard that. She suddenly raised her head and stared straight at Hikigaya with clenched teeth, an unwilling face, and a flash of shame and anger in her eyes!

It's as if to say 'Are you satisfied now?'

It was the first time that Hikigaya saw such a 'rich' expression on the face of Horikita, the iceberg girl. At this moment, Horikita looked at Hikigaya 'viciously'. Usually, she didn't feel much of a height difference between them, but at this moment, Horikita felt as if she was being 'looked down upon' by Hikigaya from above. Her body and mind seemed to be being trampled on by the boy in front of her from the inside out!

Horikita knew that she had lost miserably this time. If she had quit while she was ahead at the review meeting, if she had not felt unwilling to accept the outcome, if she had not been so competitive against Hikigaya, would the outcome have been different?

She didn't know, but even Horikita herself couldn't explain the reason behind the decision she made at that moment. Did she really want to defeat Hikigaya once? Or did she want to prove her ability to her brother? Or was there something else?

Now she understood. Yes, she didn't want to win over the boy in front of her at all. She just wanted to get his approval, or in other words... she wanted to catch up with the boy in front of her, that's all.

Even Horikita herself didn't know when she developed such an inexplicable obsession with this boy.

"Horikita, you've always lived in your own world, lacking empathy with others, and then acting according to your own ideas as if it were your right. It's this arrogance that has led to the bitter consequences you're facing today.

Just like what you said to Sudo at the review meeting yesterday, the same applies to you. What's the difference between you and that kind of guy Sudo now? Have you realized your own ignorance now?

Chapter 144: Scapegoat.

Hikigaya's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it clearly, and their faces had different expressions.

If we talk about Horikita's problem this time, it is definitely there and it is very big, but it is not on the same level as Sudo, so you can see that Horikita's slightly seductive eyes are about to spit fire.

But even so, Horikita remained silent, gritting her teeth, looking like she wanted to get angry but was holding it back.

"Unwilling? That's right."

Hikigaya ignored Horikita's look and said, "Because this won't be the first time, and it definitely won't be the last time."

After saying that, Hikigaya no longer paid attention to Horikita, but turned to the several surveillance cameras in the corridor and near the stairs, and took out his mobile phone to record and take pictures.

"We've completed the on-site evidence collection. Regarding the specific follow-up procedures, please proceed to the Student Union meeting room. The president has been waiting for a while."

Hikigaya said this expressionlessly and turned to leave. The rest of the people looked at each other in bewilderment, and had no choice but to follow him to the student council meeting room. Horikita and Ayanokouji remained silent along the way, Hirata, Ichinose and the others all looked worried, but Ishizaki was the only one with an excited look on his face, as if he had already anticipated what was going to happen next.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the student union meeting room. Originally, today was to make a final decision on the outcome of Sudo's fight dispute, but it was obvious that this matter had to be postponed for the time being. The first thing to deal with was the serious violation of the rules by Class D who installed surveillance cameras in the school without permission.

At the review meeting, it was still Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane who were present. Compared to the last fight, this violation was obviously much worse and more serious in nature, so the atmosphere was more serious and depressing than before.

Horikita has kept her head down since entering the meeting room, as if she doesn't dare to look her brother in the eye.

Hikigaya handed the video footage and mobile phone of the scene to Horikita Manabu for review, and at the same time repeated the incident in detail. Horikita Manabu still had an indifferent expression on his face, and there was no change in his expression at all.

Horikita Manabu's gaze fell on the students of Class C, and then he listened to the confessions of Ishizaki and others again. The content was similar to what Hikigaya said. Anyway, Class D planned to use the privately installed surveillance cameras to make the students of Class C voluntarily withdraw their complaints and accusations against Sudo for fighting. At the same time, Ishizaki strongly stated that he was not fooled, and that it was Class D who made up lies to deceive him.

When Ishizaki was about to say something, Horikita Manabu raised his hand to interrupt him, saying that they should stop for now. Ishizaki had no choice but to give up.

Then, Horikita Manabu looked at Ichinose and asked a few questions, then said, "So, Ichinose, you didn't know beforehand that the surveillance camera installed in the corridor was fake, and you mistakenly thought it was recording the fight between Class D and Class C last week, so you chose to help the students in Class D. Is that what you mean?"

Ichinose looked embarrassed, and subconsciously looked at Hikigaya not far away, and happened to meet his gaze. The cold eyes and the scolding just now seemed to ring in Ichinose's ears.

Haruno, who was standing by, gently touched Ichinose's palm and whispered, "Ichinose, think about your classmates and don't let Horikita down."

Finally, Ichinose nodded in agreement with difficulty.

"So, Class B is also a victim of deception, right?"

Horikita Manabu confirmed again.

"Yes, it is."

Ichinose said this as if all her strength had been exhausted.

Then the scene fell into a brief silence, and everyone's attention was cast on the core student of the whole incident, Horikita Suzune.

It has been clearly stated that installing surveillance cameras without permission is a very serious violation, and the instigator is none other than the D-class student Horikita Suzune!

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Horikita took a deep breath, glanced at Hikigaya across from him, and then said with a determined look: "This whole thing was planned and led by me alone. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Ichinose turned his face away reluctantly, Kushida frowned and looked a little annoyed, Ishizaki looked like he was watching the show excitedly, and Ayanokouji stood behind him, watching all this with an expressionless face.

Horikita decided to take all the responsibility on herself, which was both reasonable and unexpected. If one person took all the responsibility, at least other people would not be involved and the losses could be minimized.

But it is not easy for one person to take all the responsibilities. How many people can have such awareness?

Just like many scandals exposed in the news, these big companies often push one person out as a "scapegoat" for the sake of the "overall situation", interns, temporary workers... It's too common!

And now, Horikita took the initiative to be the "scapegoat", which was also the last decency of the girl's proud and stubborn character.

After hearing Horikita's "confession", many people present sighed involuntarily, and they also understood that Horikita was sacrificing herself to protect others and the class.

Finally, Horikita couldn't help but look up at her brother. She originally thought that her brother would show disappointment, anger and other emotions towards her, but the reality was, none of that!

Even on Horikita Manabu's face, there was no emotion at all, as if Horikita Suzune in front of him was just an outsider, without any ripples.

Horikita felt as if something had hit her heart hard, and the severe pain made her feel a little dazed!

why!

Even a little anger, a little disappointment is fine, why didn't my brother react at all?!

At this moment, Horikita Manabu suddenly looked at someone and said, "Hikigaya, what do you think about this matter?"

Because of Horikita Manabu, Hikigaya attracted everyone's attention. Hikigaya looked at Horikita deeply, and then slowly said: "President, I think this matter is a bit strange."

"Is this really just Horikita's fault?"

"Oh?"

"I think Horikita is deliberately taking all the responsibility on herself in order to protect the real mastermind."

Hikigaya's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap, causing everyone present to open their eyes wide!

in particular……

"Hikigaya, what are you talking about! I've already told you that I planned and instigated this matter alone. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Horikita stood up suddenly, stared at Hikigaya in disbelief, and then spoke quickly.

Ichinose, Kushida, Ishizaki and the others all looked doubtful, not understanding what Hikigaya was trying to do. Similarly, Ayanokouji also subconsciously frowned. Only Haruno seemed to have thought of something and showed a half-smile.

"Horikita, it seems you made a mistake."

Hikigaya looked at Horikita expressionlessly and said calmly, "From the very beginning, this matter was not something you thought could be resolved by simply 'taking responsibility.' Nor was it something that could be easily resolved simply by 'admitting guilt' on your part. How to determine facts and responsibilities has always been the Student Council's business!"

Chapter 145: Backstab.

Hikigaya's words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished Horikita's last fantasy. In other words, it was meaningless for her to take all the responsibility, because the main body of the judgment was the student union. As long as the student union had objections or disagreed, the matter would continue to be investigated until the student union determined it to be the truth.

In other words, from the very beginning, Horikita's confession was all wishful thinking!

Thinking of this, Horikita stared at Hikigaya, not understanding what he was planning to do.

Doesn't Hikigaya know how serious the consequences and impact will be on Class D if he really allows the Student Council to continue investigating?

Isn't it the correct outcome that everyone in this matter hopes for if I take all the responsibility myself?

Hikigaya, what on earth do you want to do?

Not only Horikita, but also Ichinose, Kushida, and even Ishizaki and others didn't understand what Hikigaya was doing!

Isn't this a clear case of 'backstabbing' one's own class?

Only Ayanokouji seemed to have guessed something, and his expression began to darken.

Facing Horikita's visibly angry gaze, Hikigaya ignored it and looked at Akane Tachibana, who was standing beside Horikita Manabu. Akane seemed to have noticed Hikigaya's gaze and suddenly pulled out a document from her bosom and placed it in front of Horikita Manabu. "President, here's a document I need your review. Hikigaya submitted it this morning."

Horikita Manabu looked back at Tachibana Akane, who nodded slightly. Then Horikita Manabu opened the file, and when he saw the content on it, his pupils shrank slightly. He then looked up at Hikigaya, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"President, this is an application that Horikita and I submitted to the school last night on behalf of Hikigaya."

At this moment, Hirata, who had seemed to have little presence from the beginning, suddenly stood up and explained: "The thing is, because of the fight, Horikita and I realized that the root cause of the dispute was the lack of surveillance footage.

Later, Horikita also conducted an on-site inspection and found that the special teaching building was very lacking in monitoring equipment. In addition, the special teaching building not only had staff offices, but also science classrooms where chemical drugs were stored, which posed a huge safety hazard.

So Horikita and I approached Hikigaya, a classmate and student council member, and asked them to install surveillance equipment in the special teaching building to prevent similar incidents from happening again and address this significant safety hazard. So, we wrote this application and asked Hikigaya to submit it to the student council for approval.

At this time, Tachibana Akane also spoke at the right time, explaining to Horikita Manabu and everyone present at the same time: "President, this application document was indeed submitted by Hikigaya this morning.

The current situation in the Special Education Building does present a number of safety hazards. To prevent similar disputes from recurring, I believe it is necessary to install surveillance equipment within the building. I have completed a preliminary review and response, and plan to submit it to you for review and final approval after this afternoon's meeting."

The document does have Ju Qian's personal seal, which shows that this application document has been preliminarily approved by Secretary Ju Qian.

The affairs of the Student Union are handled on a hierarchical basis.

Hikigaya himself has the authority to handle general trivial matters and minor disciplinary issues independently. However, matters that go further, such as those involving clubs, classes, and schools, need to be handed over to Akane Tachibana for preliminary review. She will screen out less important or daily matters and review and handle them herself. The remaining important documents and matters will then be handled and approved by Horikita Manabu, the student council president.

Such benefits are very suitable for the small number of students in the student union. They can greatly improve work efficiency and reduce personal workload and pressure. Of course, they also have high requirements for the abilities of each student union member.
