Just then, Duan Zilian turned to look at her.
Duan Zilian nodded slightly to her, as if to say:
"See, at least here, people are willing to understand this good intention."
A faint smile appeared on Yukinoshita's lips as she quickly turned her head away.
……
"Ring ring—"
The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
"get out of class dismissed!"
Di Yejin waved his hand, and even though he was sweating profusely, he didn't take off his gold down jacket.
He strode out of the classroom with an arrogant gait, like a proud general.
While the class was still immersed in the profound and passionate speech—
"Knock, knock."
Suddenly, someone knocked lightly on the classroom window facing the corridor.
The whole class was immediately drawn to the sound.
Duan Zilian looked in the direction of the sound.
Several boys and girls from other classes were standing outside Class F's classroom, watching the noisy Class 2F with complicated expressions.
"Hello, excuse me, could you please address Yukino Yukinoshita?"
……
Chapter 78 Contradictions
Dozens of eyes turned to the people outside the window.
"Those are... a few members of the sports club, right? The one leading them seems to be Yamamoto from Class 2-B."
Sakuta Azusagawa rested his chin on his hand, a rare hint of wariness in his eyes.
"What's that guy doing here, always acting like a bully on the playground?"
"The sports department...?"
Duan Zilian murmured softly, her expression somewhat displeased.
He had only heard Yukino mention the troubles of merging the two schools yesterday, and today the troubles have come knocking on his door.
The next second, Yukino Yukinoshita stood up.
She walked out of the classroom door with a calm expression.
"I am Yukinoshita. May I ask what brings you here?"
Standing in front of Yamamoto, even though she was shorter, her imposing aura, like an iceberg, was in no way inferior.
In the corridor, a group of boys, led by Yamamoto, stood with their arms crossed, looking down at her.
"Ah, I heard you're the one who planned the exercise route, right?"
Yamamoto pursed his lips, his tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.
"The route was jointly planned by me and the Shuchiin Student Council, and it has been approved by the school leaders. Is there a problem?" Yukinoshita asked calmly.
"If you have any questions about the efficiency of the evacuation, you can raise them now."
"Of course there's a problem! Efficiency? I'm talking about fairness!"
Yamamoto stepped forward, his expression aggressive.
"Why should we, the people from Class B, be placed behind those Shuchiin guys when we meet on the main road?! Why should they get to take the easy way out first?"
"That's it!"
The two girls behind them also loudly echoed.
Why should we, from Class J, have to suffer in their shadows?
Yukino Yukinoshita coldly surveyed the group, her voice clear and fearless.
“The teaching building of Shuchiin is closer to the main road, so their early evacuation can free up enough space in the shortest time.”
"If we force the Zongwu High School class at the back to leave first, the two streams of people will collide at the corner, which could easily lead to serious congestion and stampede accidents."
"Stop trying to fool us with these grand principles!"
Yamamoto not only ignored him, but became even more agitated.
"Who doesn't know that your family is also in government service, and that you have elite blood flowing through your veins?"
"To put it bluntly, you bunch of rich girls have never treated us ordinary students like human beings from beginning to end, right?!"
People from the surrounding area gathered to watch the spectacle, and soon a large crowd had gathered at the entrance of Class F.
As the crowd grew larger, Yamamoto seemed to have gained the upper hand in terms of numbers. He and his two henchmen looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with arrogance.
"Yamamoto-kun."
Looking up from beneath the snow, his eyes revealed undisguised pity.
"I originally thought that the sports department's training could strengthen a person's will, but I didn't expect that just a few degrees of temperature increase would cause your brain to produce such a low-level hallucination due to lack of oxygen."
"You not only lack common sense, but you also like to use paranoia to cover up your incompetence. This is a phenomenon more pathetic than a monstrous disaster."
"You bastard...don't be so arrogant!!"
Yamamoto was so humiliated in public that he instantly became furious.
He raised his hand, intending to grab Yukinoshita's shoulder.
"Hey, big brother..."
The henchmen on one side clearly didn't want to escalate the situation to the point of shoving, but they were obviously a step too late.
However, Yamamoto's hand had only extended halfway.
Snapped!
Suddenly, a hand that didn't look particularly strong reached out from the crowd and clamped down on Yamamoto's wrist like an iron clamp.
"Hey, I'm talking."
Duan Zilian squeezed out of the crowd and stood beside Xue Xia, his eyes revealing a fierce aura.
"It is indeed quite hot, and it's easy to get carried away, but we are all civilized people. Do you really want to start a fight here?"
Yamamoto paused for a moment, then tried to forcefully shake off the other person's hand.
"Transfer student, mind your own business and let go of me."
But to his surprise, his arm, which he had been exercising for years, remained completely still!
Duan Zilian's fingers were locked tightly around his wrist, and she was even putting more and more pressure on it.
A series of sharp pains forced Yamamoto to bend over.
"Duan Jun..."
Yukinoshita was slightly taken aback, looking at the boy's back as he stood in front of her.
Seeing this, Yamamoto's two henchmen also became anxious, exchanged a glance, and were about to rush forward to help.
Before they could take a step, two figures cut in front of them, forcefully pushing the two men back with their chests.
"What, you want to fight?"
Azusagawa Sakuta put his hands in his pockets, but he didn't do anything.
He looked at the person opposite him with that "I don't want to fight, but if you insist on causing trouble, I'll disgust you to death" look.
Beside him, Hachiman Hikigaya, though his eyes were somewhat unfocused, held on tightly to his opponent.
On the other side, Yui Yuigahama and Yumiko Miura also rushed out quickly and shielded Yukinoshita behind them.
"Hey, Xiaoxue, don't let them influence you. We all support you!"
Yui Yuigahama quickly comforted Yukino Yukinoshita, whose face was as cold as ice.
Yumiko Miura gently patted Yukinoshita's back, then turned her head to look at Yamamoto with a disgusted expression.
Hayato Hayama quickly stepped forward, spreading his arms to block the other members of the sports club from getting closer.
"Everyone, calm down."
Ye Shan frowned and shouted.
"Hey!!! What are you kids doing in the hallway?! Are you rebelling?!"
Just as the situation was about to become extremely tense, a roar came from afar.
Hiratsuka Shizuka strode over quickly, followed by Totsuka Ayaka and Tobe Sho, both looking nervous.
Upon seeing their homeroom teacher, who resembled a demon, Yamamoto and his friends' arrogance instantly diminished by more than half.
Seeing this, Duan Zilian slowly released Yamamoto's wrist and pushed him away.
He clapped his hands and gave Yamamoto, who was clutching his wrist, a kind smile:
"Yamamoto-kun, since you have objections to the evacuation route, why don't you go to the dean's office later and have some tea to discuss it?"
"I believe that Professor Hiratsuka will use a 'physical' approach to help you deeply understand what rules are."
……
Almost simultaneously, a similar argument was taking place in the student council room of Shujiin University.
"President Shirogane, we elected you as president because we hoped you could lead Shuchiin Academy better and uphold our dignity."
Several students dressed in Shuchiin uniforms stood in front of the desk, with Murata, who was in the lead, looking grim.
"But look at this, in this joint plan, you're actually protecting the people from Soubu High School at every turn! You even want them to enter the shelter first?!"
Shirogane Miyuki sat behind his desk, his fingers interlaced, his gaze fixed intently on the people in front of him.
"Murata, everyone, I remember during the sports festival in our first year of high school, it was you guys who led the way in buying expensive competition equipment without permission."
He took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the emotions surging up from the bottom of his heart.
"Isn't it because you acted arrogantly and refused to share with Zongwu High School that led to a year-long vicious confrontation between the two schools? Wasn't the lesson learned then enough?"
"That happened so long ago, are you still holding a grudge, President?"
Murata seemed a little guilty, but then he shouted even louder.
"We're talking about disaster prevention drills now! It's a matter of life and death!"
“Yeah!” a boy next to him chimed in.
"It's precisely because of this matter of life and death that we've come to you! Why should those people from Zongwu High School use the safe passage while we pay so much tuition every year, why can't we get priority access to the best safety route?!"
"Everyone."
Shirogane Miyuki stood up, placed his hands on the table, and spoke without the slightest hint of compromise.
"Human life is equally precious in the face of disaster! There is no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly."
"All route assignments are the optimal solutions based on the different routes of the two schools. We must ensure that everyone can be safely evacuated in the shortest possible time."
"Hmph, I get it."
One of Murata's henchmen suddenly said:
"Ultimately, it's because you yourself are from a humble background and rely on scholarships to make ends meet, right? That's why you always side with the people from Soubu High School."
"After all, in your eyes, we chaebol kids are the difficult oddballs, right?"
"Hey, what are you doing...?"
Murata turned around abruptly, looking at his companion with some surprise.
"you……!"
Shirogane Miyuki's pupils suddenly contracted, and the anxiety and inferiority that emanated from his very bones made him so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.
