In Real Education, I Just Want to Drop Out Section 33

It was true that she had lost the means to threaten Bai Lan.

But it wasn't necessarily the result of Bai Lan's schemes. It was very possible that Bai Lan didn't even know she had lost the evidence to threaten him.

As for Bai Lan's strange remarks...

Right!

Bai Lan's Japanese wasn't good.

If his Japanese wasn't good, and he used words improperly, wouldn't it be normal for him to say strange things?

What did Bai Lan say back then?

"A promise is a promise"?

"I will not yield"?

Perhaps, his true meaning was: "I agree (a promise is a promise), and I will not break the agreement (I will not yield)"?

Did Bai Lan actually accept her threat?

Otherwise, what was the benefit of Bai Lan saying those strange things back then?

If Bai Lan was truly that calculating, wouldn't he know that to make her continue to sweat, all he needed to do was practice arguing with her for a while longer?

Using words that would make her suspicious to lure himself into running was just gilding the lily, wasn't it?

It didn't make sense.

That's right, that guy was just lucky!

At this moment, Kushida's phone rang.

She looked.

It was Bai Lan calling.

Kushida answered the phone and couldn't wait to speak, "Classmate Bai, what do you need from your 'friend'?"

Kushida emphasized the word "friend" heavily, wanting to probe something.

Soon, Bai Lan replied:

"Um, I just wanted to ask, Classmate Kushida, when exactly do you plan to report me and get me expelled? Could you give me some advance notice?

That way, I can allocate my living expenses, so I don't run out of money when I'm expelled, or get expelled before I run out of money."

As soon as Bai Lan spoke his first sentence, Kushida had already confirmed the "truth."

"Classmate Kushida, when exactly do you plan to report me and get me expelled?"

It could be easily seen.

Bai Lan's words were spoken under the premise that Kushida would report him.

This kind of unconcerned attitude, as if he didn't care about being expelled at all.

This meant that Bai Lan wasn't afraid of Kushida's threat at all.

Not afraid of threats = knew Kushida's evidence was invalid = everything was under Bai Lan's control = everything was Bai Lan's scheme = Bai Lan's schemes were invincible!

Kushida was suddenly filled with terror: I actually tried to threaten someone like him! I was practically courting death!

39. Kushida's Great Awakening, the World Suddenly Broadens

Kushida: I actually tried to threaten someone like him!

He's definitely going to get revenge on me in the future, right?

I'm finished!

What do I do, what do I do?

Thinking this, Kushida's eyes darkened, and she muttered to herself:

"As expected, he's already confirmed that my threat is useless against him, and that my evidence of him being indecent is completely useless, right?

He even dared to play me with this matter!

It's all his scheme.

Heh heh~

Without the leverage to threaten him into keeping my secret, what should I do... ..."

Kushida still hadn't given up the desire to survive.

With persistent effort, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Kushida's mind.

Wait!

If Bai Lan's schemes were truly invincible, then were those superfluous strange remarks he made really just because his Japanese was bad?

If not, then what was the reason?

Other than making her suspicious for no reason, what use were those words?

It's all gone.

Could it be...

Her suspicion was also part of Bai Lan's plan?

Bai Lan deliberately made her suspicious!

As long as she was suspicious, she would, like now, know that reporting him with her coat might be deemed a false accusation, and then she would give up on reporting him.

If she didn't report, it would mean nothing happened.

Once she reported, there was a possibility of being charged with making a false accusation!

Although it was only a "possibility," in Kushida's view, with Bai Lan's inhuman calculations, "possibility" would definitely turn into "certainty"!

In other words.

Bai Lan was deliberately making her suspicious!

Bai Lan was reminding her?!

Bai Lan was, in this way, repaying malice with kindness and giving her, who wanted to harm him, a chance to pull back from the brink...

No, it was twice.

This phone call was the second time!

If it weren't for this phone call, Kushida might have mistaken "Bai Lan's calculations" for luck and continued to threaten Bai Lan with non-existent evidence...

At that point, Bai Lan would just need to record the process of Kushida threatening him and then expose it.

And Kushida wouldn't be able to produce any evidence of threatening Bai Lan.

In the end, Kushida herself would be the one in trouble!

At this moment, Kushida had a sudden realization.

Kushida decided not to harbor any illusions and wanted to seize this opportunity!

Before, although Kushida had heard Hirata explain that Bai Lan was actually a good person, having witnessed the darkness of human hearts, she was more suspicious of it.

Even if she believed him, it was only a little bit.

The reason she was willing to believe was more due to the general trend; she had to pretend to believe.

After all, Kushida's persona was that of a gentle, kind, and pure little angel. With so many people in the class with "strong hearts" expressing their belief, how could a pure-hearted little angel doubt him?

Another reason was the issue with Horikita.

Bai Lan was the only person Kushida could think of who might have a connection with Horikita.

She had no other choice.

Therefore, Kushida did not place her hopes on the judgment that "Bai Lan is a good person" as Hirata had said.

If Kushida had harbored doubts about Bai Lan before, at this very moment, she was completely convinced.

Bai Lan's actions today made it clear.

Kushida was now absolutely certain—

Although classmate Bai Lan likes to curse, look down on people, and threaten them, and also leaves early, skips class, and teaches girls to swear... he really is a good person!

And not the pitiful and hateful kind of good person who only has gentleness and nothing else, even causing trouble and harming himself and those around him.

He is the kind of person who, while capable of helping others, can also flawlessly protect himself and those around him, a very formidable good person!

What Kushida envied most was that Bai Lan didn't need to spend a lot of time and energy pleasing others every day like she did. This person, despite acting as he pleased every day, often confronting people regardless of gender or relation, could gain so much favor, and even—respect!

On the surface, it seemed to be because of Hirata.

But now, having experienced Bai Lan's "calculations," Kushida felt that things were not that simple...

This might also be part of Bai Lan's plan!

How did he do it?

Kushida was very curious, and at the same time, she thought to herself, "If only I could be like classmate Bai. If I had this kind of skill back then, how could my 'Kushida Empire' have been destroyed because I was recognized after arguing with people online?"

Kushida imagined a future where, if she encountered something unpleasant, she wouldn't have to hold it in like she did now, but could confront people whenever she wanted, and after confronting them, people would like her even more...

What a divine life that would be!

Bai Lan's ability.

She really wanted it!

Wait!

Kushida's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something.

"If I'm willing to tell him about the desperate situation I'm facing, can he teach me how to break through it?

Perhaps, I can also ask him to teach me this method of easily gaining favor and respect from others without having to restrain my dark side!

This way, can I make friends with others without hiding my dark side?

If, even when my dark side is exposed, others still like me and are willing to be my friends.

Even, they might come to like my dark side..."
