In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

She immediately pressed the answer button.

"This is the Academic Affairs Office. Horikita Suzune, Class D, first year. We have received a report that someone believes you have engaged in serious irregularities with the current student council president, Horikita Manabu. Please go to the chairman's office immediately for investigation."

"Repeatedly, please proceed to the chairman's office immediately for investigation!"

The air suddenly froze.

Nangong Cheng narrowed his eyes, about to say something, but Horikita Suzune had already responded.

"Received, I'll be right there."

"beep--"

The call was disconnected.

Horikita Suzune stood up.

"Excuse me, I have to leave for a bit."

Hiyori Shiina tried to say something comforting: "...Don't worry, maybe it's a misunderstanding?"

Sakayanagi Arisu, on the other hand, seemed to be watching the show with amusement: "It's hard to say. The student council president is also named Horikita. Maybe they really are siblings?"

"And what about you and the chairman?"

Nangong Cheng would not tolerate the little devil.

You expose it, and he exposes it too.

He then looked at Horikita Suzune and said, "Don't panic, I'll go with you. This matter probably has something to do with me too."

"Um……"

Horikita Suzune lowered her head and crossed her arms, looking somewhat uneasy.

"Then we'll be going now."

After finishing his sentence, Nangong Cheng pulled Horikita Suzune away, ignoring Sakayanagi Arisu and Shiina Hiyori.

But just as they stepped out of the library, they suddenly heard several voices calling his name.

"Nangong Jun!!!"

Nangong Cheng looked in the direction of the sound.

Maya Sato, Chiaki Matsushita, Meiyu Wang... how did they end up here?

And he looked very anxious.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Yes, it's Class C!"

Sato Maya spoke first, followed by Matsushita Chiaki, who seemed relatively calm, explaining the situation.

“A group of girls from Class C…it looks like almost all the girls in the class came and cornered us in a corner where there are no security cameras.”

"Karuizawa and Kushida discussed it and decided to cover our escape so we could go to you, Nangong-kun, for help."

Nangong Cheng narrowed his eyes.

Block people?

Almost all the girls from Class C came?

"The same old three dishes, Longyuan."

Including Horikita Suzune's matter, Nangong Cheng quickly made the connection and concluded that this matter was inextricably linked to Ryuen.

But are other people involved, such as Arisu Sakayanagi, who seemed to have suddenly fallen ill and dressed up for the event today...?

It's hard to say.

In the original story, the female demon also has a criminal record.

Furthermore, the fact that Class C was able to mobilize so many people at once clearly indicated that it wasn't a last-minute plan, especially considering the signs of trouble that had been occurring one after another...

Nangong Cheng made a quick decision.

"Wang, could you please accompany Horikita to the chairman's office?"

"Sato-san and Matsushita-san, please take me there and tell me what happened."

Volume 1: Chapter 60, Karuizawa Megumi: I hope I haven't disappointed you.

A corner without surveillance cameras.

Karuizawa Kei and the others were trapped here.

Standing opposite them was a group of girls from Class C, and they were familiar with the person in charge.

"Manabe, what are you trying to do?"

"Our men have already gone out to call for reinforcements, so you'd better not make any rash moves."

That's very strange.

Because this blind spot in the surveillance cameras is very well hidden.

While their discovery meant that students from other classes could also find this place, the problem was that the timing of the C class's appearance was too coincidental and subtle.

Almost as soon as they arrived, the other side appeared, as if they had been lying in ambush.

Are you being followed?

That possibility certainly exists.

After all, the feud between Longyuan and Nangong Cheng is well-known, so it was not unexpected that Class C would want to take action against Class D.

But... is that really the case?

"Hey hey hey~"

"The school isn't your D class's private territory. Why can't we C class come? Is it really that big of a fuss?"

Led by Shiho Manabe, the girls in Class C adhered to the principle of "talking is better than doing," and regardless of what Kei Karuizawa said or did, they all had only one goal for the time being—

They wouldn't let them leave.

"Want to chat for a bit? I heard your Class D went to a karaoke bar all night, you guys had a really relaxing time."

"You've been following us?"

"Don't put it so harshly. I just happened to see you going in and out of a KTV on the street."

Karuizawa Kei wouldn't believe such an explanation.

Even if that possibility did exist, she preferred to believe that Class C was deliberately following them.

“We have nothing to talk about. If you really have no ill intentions, then let us leave.”

"How could there be nothing to talk about?"

Shiho Manabe smiled, but her smile wasn't friendly: "I heard Karuizawa-san, you confessed to Makoto Nanamiya? But it seems you were rejected? Or were you just played around with and then dumped?"

"Tell us about it~ We're quite curious about how good Nangong Cheng is in that area~"

Karuizawa Kei's expression stiffened for a moment.

How did they find out about this?

Is there a mole in the class?!

Because only... knew about this.

"Are you worried that someone in your class has snitched on you? Can you guess who it is? Could it be Nangong Cheng, the guy you like?"

"Get out! Don't try to sow discord!" Karuizawa Kei doubted no one but Nangong Cheng.

But it's a fact that there's a mole in the class.

Who could it be?

Horikita Suzune? Kushida Platycodon?

Or was it that one of the girls in the small group chat was bribed by Class C to leak the news that she wanted to pursue Nangong Cheng?

Or perhaps she was followed by Class C members after leaving the KTV that night, and then saw Nangong Cheng enter her room?

But regardless of the possibility, Karuizawa Kei has already figured out one thing—

"I understand... You were pretending to block us, but your real intention was to send our people out to find Nangong Cheng."

Shiho Manabe shrugged, looking indifferent: "Karuizawa, everyone already knows about this school. Isn't it normal for classes to use a little trickery in their competition?"

"I'll say it again—blame it on Nangong Cheng from your class being so hateful."

"But instead of worrying about Nangong Cheng, you should worry about yourselves first, because if Nangong Cheng chooses not to come..."

Karuizawa Kei remained silent.

You call this a petty trick?

She turned to look at Kikyo Kushida, who was comforting some timid girls.

"Kushida-san, have you managed to contact Nangong-kun?"

"Yes, Xiaomei said they're on their way with Nangong Jun, but..."

Kikyo Kushida paused halfway through her sentence, a hesitant expression on her face.

Karuizawa Kei asked anxiously, "But what?"

"Didn't Manabe just say that this was a setup by Class C specifically for Nangong-kun? I'm just worried..."

After Kikyo Kushida said that, the other girls started to worry again.

After all, if the girls in Class C really wanted to gang up on them, they wouldn't have just waited and not made a move, giving the girls time to call for reinforcements...

Thinking about it that way, the possibility is actually quite high.

Although Karuizawa Kei believed that Nangong Cheng would definitely be able to handle the matter, she still couldn't help but have some worries.

"I see... Then I'll send a message to Maya Chiaki and the others, and tell them not to bring Nangong Jun over."

"Then, what should we do?"

Kikyo Kushida was surprised that Kei Karuizawa made such a decisive decision. So, how does she plan to resolve this matter?

Other girls cast similar glances at him.

That's just human nature.

When their own safety cannot be guaranteed, they are unlikely to be willing to consider the safety of others.

Karuizawa Megumi took a deep breath.

She explained, "There's really no need to worry too much. Since the people in Class C didn't intend to make a move in the first place, they're unlikely to do so."

"And even if they want to block us, how long can they? Do they not eat, rest, or sleep? Don't forget that the student dormitories have access control!"

"Even if they are determined to block us until tomorrow morning, the school will definitely not sit idly by once they find out that nearly 40 students from our two classes have skipped class."

Power brings reason and wisdom.

If it were my past self, I probably wouldn't have performed much better than these girls who needed to be comforted by Kikyo Kushida.

But things are different now.

She could solve this problem right now if she wanted to.

The problem is that she can't eliminate everyone in an instant. Once she takes action, evidence will definitely be left behind, and then Class D will still be in a passive situation.

That's why she hasn't taken action yet.

"I hope everyone can be patient for now."

"I believe this kind of thing will definitely happen more often in the future, and we can't always have the opportunity to ask Nangong Jun for help, so we must learn to save ourselves."

Karuizawa Megumi looked at Kushida Kikyo.

Among those present, Kikyo Kushida was one of the few girls who could remain calm, and she also played a very important role in calming people down.

"Kushida-san, could you try contacting the boys in your class and students from the other two classes to report the situation to the student council?"

"This is our last resort before considering the worst-case scenario."
