"Ah~ What a shame..."
Well, with no reason to keep beating up the student council president, it was a little disappointing.
"If you're unhappy about it, you can try making me drop out." Bai Lan ultimately couldn't resist trying to draw more aggro.
However, just as Bai Lan thought he had figured out the truth and was planning to let the matter go at that,
"No. I didn't attack you because you said you had bullied Suzune, although that was certainly part of it."
Horikita Manabu climbed to his feet and stood up straight. Then he suddenly spoke, instantly overturning Bai Lan's assumptions.
"Huh?" Bai Lan tilted his head.
Horikita Manabu continued, "I attacked you because you're Bai Lan."
"Huh? You mean you wanted to target me from the very beginning?" As he spoke, Bai Lan rolled up his sleeves, preparing to continue the fight.
"No. It doesn't count as targeting you. I just wanted to use this opportunity to learn more about you."
"You want to learn more about me? I'm a man! Wait~ Horikita, your brother doesn't have some kind of special fetish, does he?"
Bai Lan spoke with a look of disgust.
Horikita Suzune opened her mouth, just about to defend the brother she admired from Bai Lan's insinuation.
However, before Horikita Suzune could speak, Horikita Manabu beat her to it.
Horikita Manabu ignored Bai Lan's trash talk and continued what he had been saying. "I actually know quite a bit about what you've done over the past month or so.
I think you could become an unstable factor capable of disrupting the school's normal order.
As student council president, I believe it's my responsibility to learn more about what kind of person you are in order to maintain stability on campus."
"Huh? I'm an unstable element?"
