In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

And that message that suddenly came through...

Ibuki Mio looked embarrassed, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to say, "Shiina... the class needs you right now..."

Hiyori Shiina opened her eyes.

She looked at Ibuki Mio, who had her head down, and said in a meaningful tone, "Ibuki-san, you can't just think of me when you fail at Ryuen."

"..."

Seeing Ibuki Mio's head bowed even lower, Shiina Hiyori sighed again and then stood up.

"Let's go."

She reached out and patted the girl on the shoulder, then strode towards the library entrance.

"Tell me everything you know."

"I'm really curious to know which brilliant person came up with this idea."

-----------------

Late at night.

But people can't calm down.

This appalling incident, which affected almost all first-year students, has been trending wildly on school forums and group chats.

Especially within Class D, who were both the parties involved and the victims, the group chat records were quite lively.

[Boy A: Wait, what do you mean Karuizawa single-handedly beat down almost 20 people on the other side?]

[Girl A: Why would I lie to you? So many eyes were watching, and even a girl from Class C took a picture.]

[Boy B: Although this sounds really exaggerated, I still want to ask you guys how you got stuck there? And how come so many of you were stuck together?]

[Girl B: We've been having extra classes lately, so we've been hanging out together a lot. Who would have thought something like this would happen...?]

[Girl C: That's right... and that place we found before was actually quite well hidden, who would have thought that the people from Class C had been following us all along!]

[Boy C: There were so many of you, couldn't you even cover for one or two people to escape and call for help?]

[Girl D: Yes, we did it, but later it was said that Nangong-kun was called away by the school, and even Kikyo-chan sent messages to many people asking the student council for help. In the end, we were both held up by various reasons and couldn't come.]

[Boy D: It seems Class C made all sorts of preparations in advance, just waiting for today to take action.]

[Girl E: I think it's all Nangong Cheng's fault! If he hadn't provoked Longyuan, we wouldn't be in this mess today!]

[Boy E: To be honest, it's true. After Nangong sold the information, he immediately made it public, then they bumped into each other in the cafeteria and Longyuan, and then he clashed with the student council vice president. This time it's clearly a deliberate act of revenge.]

[Girl F: What do you mean? Although we were indeed affected, putting aside the feud between Nangong and Longyuan, Class C and Class D are competitors, so isn't it normal for them to target us? Besides, does the student council vice president really dare to enforce the law in such a blatantly disobedient manner?]

[Girl G: Then why target us girls instead of the boys?]

[Girl H: Yeah, Nangong even asked Sato and Matsushita to pass on a message, and then Karuizawa suddenly took action. It looked like it was all planned in advance.]

[Girl I: But then, almost immediately afterward, the student council president arrived at the scene...]

The conversation gradually turned strange.

In particular, some girls suddenly started complaining that they had suffered an undeserved misfortune and that it was all because of Nangong Cheng.

Some even suspect that this was a setup by Karuizawa Megumi and Nangong Makoto.

Seeing that they could barely get a word in edgewise, the boys simply started tagging Kikyo Kushida repeatedly, hoping she would step in and calm things down.

But Kikyo Kushida didn't appear; instead, Suzune Horikita, who hadn't spoken until now, did.

[The person involved is still being investigated by the student council and the school to save you, and instead you're gossiping behind your backs about whether others are conspiring with other classes to scheme against you...]

You guys are hopeless.

This is Horikita Suzune.

She either doesn't speak at all, or once she does, she's basically unleashing her full aggressiveness.

The chat history scrolling paused strangely for a moment, then resumed its frantic scrolling.

[Girl J: Horikita-kun, you weren't even there when it happened. You have no idea how we feel. What right do you have to talk to us?!]

[Girl K: There were 17 girls trapped at the scene. Besides Sakura and Hasebe, who weren't there from the beginning, and the three who escaped later, who else is missing? It's so hard to guess~]

[Girl L: Can everyone please calm down?]

[Girl M: Bored, I want to see rivers of blood.]

Just then, Kikyo Kushida, who had been silent for a long time, finally appeared after much anticipation.

[Kikyo Kushida: Everyone, calm down! Stop arguing! We shouldn't be doubting our own people right now, but rather trying to find a way to help Karuizawa-san testify!]

[Kikyo Kushida: Whether our actions were acts of revenge because we were implicated in Nanami-kun's situation, or purely competitive behavior within Class C, the fact that we were ultimately rescued by Nanami-kun and Karuizawa-kun will not change. Please remember that!]

[Kikyo Kushida: @Suzune Horikita, Horikita-kun, do you have any news about Minami-kun?]

The chat group finally quieted down.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for Horikita Suzune's reply, wondering if Nangong Cheng had a foolproof plan when he went to save people.

About five minutes later, just when everyone thought Horikita Suzune wasn't going to say anything more, she reappeared.

But instead of answering Kikyo Kushida's question, she asked everyone a question in return—

Do you think he will lose?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then Horikita Suzune dropped another photo—she was currently in a meeting in the student council meeting room.

Your most urgent task right now is to calm yourselves down and stop saying things that make people laugh.

I'm staying anonymous.

Kikyo Kushida also went anonymous.

But unlike Horikita Suzune who actually had to deal with serious matters, she went to deal with negative emotions.

"Useless, useless, useless! You're all useless!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Since it's not convenient to go out and kick the railings right now, Kikyo Kushida had no choice but to settle for hitting the bed frame instead.

She even struck dozens of times in a row until she was out of breath before stopping.

"They boasted that they would definitely take down Nangong Cheng, which was quite a boast, but in the end, they were outsmarted."

Kikyo Kushida collapsed onto the bed, staring at the white ceiling, her eyes gradually becoming vacant.

Her mind was filled with the look in Nangong Cheng's eyes when he arrived at the scene; her intuition told her that Nangong Cheng seemed to know everything.

But how is that possible?!

Because Nangong Cheng's life during this period could not be described as lazy, but it could certainly be described as leisurely, with his daily routine consisting of the classroom, dormitory, and library.

In addition, she got in touch with Longyuan and the mastermind behind Longyuan through special channels, so apart from herself, only the two of them knew the inside story!

Was she betrayed?

But given her circumstances, how could she not have considered this possibility? Therefore, the premise of the cooperation was that everyone had to record the conversation to leave evidence. So as long as Long Yuan and his group didn't do anything stupid, they wouldn't be able to expose her.

Otherwise, we'll all perish!

"Could it be that I have paranoia?"

Kikyo Kushida tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Others might be able to calm down and fall asleep, but she genuinely felt that she wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep until this matter was resolved.

She glanced at the messages in the group chat again.

Compared to the initial excitement and chaos, things are much more normal now, with everyone discussing what the outcome of today's event will be.

My finger slid down slightly.

"Forget it... It's a sensitive time right now. No matter how anxious we are, we can only wait and see what the news is like."

Kikyo Kushida glanced at the anonymous gray avatar in the list and muttered a reminder to herself.

She then reached into the bedside table drawer and took out a digital camera, as well as a half-used tissue box from the table.

"Nangong Cheng, born evil..."

"I'll make you pay..."

Volume 1: Chapter 63, [The Greatest and Most Heinous Incident in the History of Advanced Training]

8:30 p.m.

The student council meeting room was bustling with activity.

Students and their homeroom teachers from all four classes were present.

Class D: Makoto Minamiya, Suzune Horikita, Megumi Karuizawa, and Sae Chabashira; Class C: Sho Ryuen, Shiho Manabe, and Kazuma Sakagami.

Honami Ichinose, Asako Aminokura, Ryuji Kanzaki and Tomoe Hoshinomiya from Class B, Yusu Sakayanagi, Masumi Kamuro, Yasuhei Katsuragi and Tomoya Mashima from Class A.

Apart from one real extra.

It was a gathering of half the elites.

Sitting in the main seat, Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses. He was looking at the paper report in his hand, while Tachibana Akane, as his assistant, stood quietly beside him.

The investigation into the cause and effect of the whole incident did not take much time, and with the cooperation of several key parties involved, the matter was clarified around six or seven o'clock.

"It is a fact that Class D took the initiative first, and I think you should have no objection to that."

As Horikita Manabu said this, he glanced at Karuizawa Megumi, who was standing next to Nangong Cheng, with a hint of surprise.

"But this is the first time I've ever seen a girl take down nearly 20 girls without getting hurt, especially in your profile... Oh well, everyone has their own secrets."

Karuizawa Kei pursed her lips.

She had only told Nangong Cheng about this so far and didn't intend to tell anyone else.

But who would have thought that her amazing 1v18 victory today would lead the school to dig up her bullying records from junior high school?

Fortunately, this kind of thing is relatively easy to explain.

Excuses like "they were careless" or "I secretly practiced for a while" can get by, since the student council can't verify them anyway.

"However, this incident involves more than just this one violation of rules and regulations, with Class C accounting for multiple instances."

Horikita Manabu looked toward Class C, his tone quite heavy.

He slammed the paper report on the table and said, "First item—suspected malicious imprisonment of students' personal freedom."

"The second point is that chat records related to this incident were found on the mobile phones of Ryuuen Sho and Manabe Shiho, the two main people involved in Class C. In particular, Ryuuen Sho was suspected of colluding with suspected members of the student council and maliciously framing students and plotting to seize students' personal property."

"The third item is that students from Class C, led by Albert, and students from Class A, led by Kito Hayabusa, are suspected of maliciously interfering with the work order of the student council and maliciously blocking students from Class B and Class D from entering the student council to deliver reports of violations of rules and regulations."

"In addition, several students, including Daichi Ishizaki from Class C, frequently and maliciously used uncivilized language to provoke and anger students from Class D, led by Ken Sudo and Yosuke Hirata, which triggered a violent incident involving nearly 40 people, resulting in nearly half of the students suffering minor injuries of varying degrees."

Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses again, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room, even the homeroom teacher of Class C didn't dare to meet his eyes.

After all, this was done... terribly.

He had no idea what Long Yuan was thinking, daring to do something that no one else would even dare to imagine.

But since things had come to this point, as the class advisor, he had no choice but to take the blame as well.

"Does Class C have anything else to say?"

"..."

Nothing more to say, please get started.jpg

"Class A, Class B, and Class D, please raise any objections immediately."

No. x3

After confirming that neither the students nor the teachers had any objections, Horikita Manabu turned and took another paper report from Tachibana Akane, which he then read aloud under the notarization of school staff:

"Therefore, in my capacity as the student council president, I hereby declare and judge this [the biggest and most heinous incident in the history of advanced education]."

"The first punishment is as follows: Karuizawa Kei of Class D was punished for initiating a violent attack on 18 girls from Class C, led by Manabe Shiho. Although the injuries did not reach the level of minor injury, it still violated Article xx of our school's rule prohibiting the use of violence. Therefore, Class D will be penalized with a deduction of 100 class points and a one-week suspension from classes."

Karuizawa Megumi's face paled slightly.
