Bark Like a Dog for Me

She was only told to go to the Student Council immediately, but she didn't expect there to be so many people there, and the atmosphere was quite oppressive.

The biggest source of stress was her childhood sweetheart, who had a dark expression on his face from the start of the morning.

"Come sit here, senior. You forgot something in my room last night." Before Asahina walked towards her homeroom teacher, Aoyama waved to lure Asahina to his side.

"I forgot something, but I don't think I missed anything, right?"

Seeing that Tachibana Akane didn't speak and tacitly allowed her to sit wherever she wanted, Asahina sat down next to the Kamuro and spoke.

"You've forgotten your heart with me, but I have no intention of returning it."

Glancing at Nagumo, who was trembling with anger, Aoyama uttered an extremely cheesy remark, which caused the girls in the meeting room to roll their eyes in unison.

Except for Asahina quickened slightly.

"Now that everyone is here, as the person in charge of facilitating the meeting, I will now begin to explain the situation to everyone."

After Horikita Manabu tapped the table twice, Tachibana Akane immediately stepped forward and made the opening remarks for the meeting. Once the room quieted down, she immediately informed everyone about Nagumo's report.

Did Aoyama secretly molest her while she was sleeping last night?

Asahina was still confused and didn't know what was going on, Tachibana Akane played the video submitted by Nagumo on the multi-functional projector.

"According to Nagumo, this photo was taken accidentally by Suzuki, who went to Aoyama's dormitory with Asahina."

"After confirmation by our staff, it was found that Xu Zhi agreed with Nagumo's statement; this was something Nagumo obtained from her."

The sound of the door closing, Aoyama Asahina's mutterings, Aoyama approaching the girl lying on the bed, bending down to bring his head close to her face, followed by the faint sound of his breathing becoming heavier.

Based solely on this video footage, there's no doubt that Aoyama sexually Asahina.

'I could admire those legs for a year.'

Upon hearing these sexually repressed words, the students present couldn't help but shift their gaze from the screen to Aoyama, who was still smiling.

"Why did you do this, Aoyama -kun?" Asahina stared intently at Aoyama's face, her eyes filled with extreme disappointment.

Her heart is in turmoil. She finally met a wonderful guy who was her lucky charm and whom she didn't dislike, but the result was such a slap in the face. She even lost her first kiss in her sleep.

Although it was only a little bit, she was certain that she had developed feelings for Aoyama.

"Fake."

Without looking at Asahina, Aoyama spoke directly to Tachibana Akane.

Tachibana Akane frowned. "Does that mean the video is fake?"

"It means that what Nagumo said was false." Taking out a pre-prepared USB drive, Aoyama threw it directly from the table in front of Horikita Manabu. "I also have some evidence here to prove my innocence."

"Orange."

"Yes."

She quickly grabbed the USB drive and plugged it into the computer connected to the projector. Tachibana Akane quickly opened Aoyama's USB drive and found two files inside, one a video and the other an audio file.

Seeing Nagumo's furrowed brows, Aoyama snapped his fingers. "Play the video first."

She glared at Aoyama, who was still trying to look Aoyama even now, and then, following his instructions, Tachibana Akane clicked on the video. Soon, everyone realized that the videos were taken at the same time and in the same location, just from different angles.

As the video played, Nagumo's face alternated between black and white.

He was relieved that his childhood sweetheart was still pure and innocent, but he also regretted that Aoyama had escaped disaster again, and had even been tricked by him.

There's no reason why Aoyama would be in his room performing a one-man show without any audience.

This proves that Aoyama knew Xuzhi was secretly recording!

"It seems that Xu Zhi is lying. I suggest that the Student Council invite Xu Zhi here immediately." Before the video had finished playing, Nagumo slammed his fist on the table in an angry manner, pretending to be an innocent person.

He was simply misled by Xuzhi, which is why he reported Aoyama based on the video.

"The class advisor for Class C has been notified to bring the students who need to know the instructions over."

After receiving Horikita Manabu's signal, Tachibana Akane carried out the order and then spoke, before looking back at Aoyama.

Once the two videos were released, she understood what this farce was all about. It was nothing more than Nagumo trying to frame Aoyama, and Aoyama realizing this and taking precautions beforehand.

"The report made by Nagumo has been confirmed to be untrue. Should we still release the other audio file?"

"Of course I want it! There's some really exciting stuff inside!"

With a delighted smile on his face, Aoyama grabbed Kamuro's little hand under the table and played with it.

After watching Nagumo's video, Kamuro had just given him a good pinch on the waist under the table, and now it was Kamuro's time to apologize.

"If someone sees this, you'll be sorry." Kamuro pouted and Kamuro softly.

The sound was so soft that only Aoyama Asahina, who was sitting next to her, could hear it. However, Asahina was in no mood to care about such a trivial matter.

She's naive, not stupid.

Of the four people involved, she was the only one who knew nothing about it.

Shuchi Moeka's best friend, Miyabi Nagumo, who grew up with her, betrayed her in this frame-up incident, trying to use her to achieve her goal of dropping out of Aoyama School.

She felt nauseous.

Whether it's Shuchi Moeka or Miyabi Nagumo.

She considered them both trustworthy friends, yet they betrayed her together.

Chapter 252 Let's hear you bark like a dog

"I guarantee with my integrity that if you do exactly as I say and take photos as evidence of the braised water chestnuts in the Aoyama, he will definitely be expelled from school."

"With the contract in place, that twenty million will definitely be in your hands. At that time, how could Tomioka and his few companions possibly defeat me?"

The recording of Xu Zhi Nagumo's conversation from last night was being played little by little through the speakers connected to the Student Council's computer, and Miyabi Nagumo's expression gradually became distorted.

How is this possible? How is this possible? How could Aoyama record in my room?

Given her revealing, tight-fitting outfit last night, it was impossible for her to have hidden a recording pen, unless she had it on her chest.

However, given the circumstances, it's impossible for someone not to know this.

What a terrible teammate! He's a complete idiot.

"It's fake, it's a computer-generated voice." Nagumo tried hard to suppress his panic and spoke calmly.

He couldn't understand whether Xu Zhi was brain-dead or what. Did she think that even though he was in trouble, she could easily get away with it? She knew that although he was the mastermind, Xu Zhi, the executor, couldn't escape either.

"Nagumo, can you explain why you transferred ten million personal points to Xu Zhi at 9:24:03 last night?"

Aoyama scoffed and began listing evidence that could prove Nagumo framed him.

"Sasaki- sensei, I think Nagumo recently had a contract notarized, with you as the notary, for me to withdraw from school and in return for Twenty Million Personal Points. The contract is with Shuchi Moeka."

"By simply checking the dormitory building's surveillance footage, we can clearly determine whether Xu went to Nagumo's dormitory during the time I recorded this."

"The camera used for the covert filming wasn't a high-end item that Class C could afford. I think if I traced it back, I could trace it back to Nagumo."

People leave traces as they pass by, geese leave their calls as they fly by.

As long as one is willing to investigate, no matter how many times Nagumo and Xu Zhi have met in the past two days, even if they only stayed for a few minutes each time, they could find out the truth.

The school is covered with a vast network of security cameras, which are not just for show.

"Oh, right, I also have a recording here, but it's not related to this matter, it only concerns Nagumo." Without waiting for Horikita Manabu's permission, Aoyama played the recording on his phone Ichinose Nagumo threatening to open the door when Ichinose was withdrawing.

This was originally his plan to launch a counterattack when Nagumo attacked Ichinose, leaving Nagumo humiliated.

Unexpectedly, Nagumo's feint caused Ichinose to lose her position as leader of Class A, and the recording was thus put on hold.

Aoyama continued his taunts, "Didn't expect that, did you, Nagumo? You can record, but others can too."

"Don't act without permission next time, Aoyama -kun." After hearing this, Tachibana Akane expressed her dissatisfaction with a cold face.

"Yes, yes, Secretary Ju."

After answering with a grin, Aoyama looked at Nagumo was speechless.

Although there is no video, such a comprehensive and complete chain of evidence is enough to definitively identify Nagumo as the mastermind.

"What other explanation do you have, Nagumo?"

"We plan to wait for Xuzhi to arrive before discussing this further, so please allow us to pause for a moment."

Sasaki, the homeroom teacher of Class 2-A who had remained silent since Aoyama entered the room, spoke for the first time.

Because the reasons were very valid, Horikita Manabu nodded in agreement without much thought, and the questioning session was put on hold.

With a sorrowful expression, Asahina stood up from her seat, but she didn't even look at Nagumo, let alone question him. She simply moved slowly to Horikita Manabu's side, then asked to leave, refusing to attend the meeting that would resume later.

After receiving an affirmative reply, she turned and walked directly towards the door of the meeting room.

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this, Asahina- senpai." Aoyama said apologetically as Asahina passed by.

Not only Nagumo, Asahina also lost face in this incident.

"Masumi, please follow her and keep a close eye on her."

Seeing that Asahina paused only slightly, Aoyama waited until her figure disappeared before instructing Kamuro.

"If you just say that you have to fulfill my request, she won't specifically come back to refuse."

"What a hassle."

With a look of disgust, Kamuro stood up, tapped Aoyama on the head twice, and then left the meeting room, abandoning his plan to continue watching the show.

Then, just two minutes after Kamuro left, Nagumo, with a gloomy face, sat down next to Aoyama.

After being persuaded by his class teacher, he realized that he was doomed this time. He had completely lost to Aoyama and could only beg for favors to get permission to stay.

As long as he's still in school, he still has a chance.

He could have endured hardship and bided his time.

"I currently have nine million personal points left, which I can give you all now. In addition, I can contribute two million personal points every month until I graduate."

Knowing that Aoyama wouldn't be interested in small-scale operations, Nagumo offered a price that was impossible to refuse.

With about a year and a half left until graduation in the second year, two million over eighteen months would amount to thirty-six million. Adding the principal of nine million, that's a staggering forty-five million.

"You're binding me with two million every month just so I won't target you again?" Aoyama easily saw through Nagumo's thoughts.

If he wants to maintain a steady, long-term strategy, he will have to stop dealing with Nagumo.

Nagumo bowed and scraped, abandoning all pretense of decency, "Because I'm no match for Aoyama at all, this is the only way I can protect myself."

Only under Kouiku could he continue to pursue Horikita Manabu, and only under Kouiku could he 'protect' his childhood sweetheart from being stolen away by Aoyama or other boys.

If he were expelled from school, and Asahina showed up with her boyfriend when she graduated, he would want to kill her.

Aoyama's expression was unmistakably sarcastic. "Let's hear you bark like a dog."

Nagumo's appearance disgusted him. He had originally wanted to give Nagumo a dignified exit, but it seemed that Nagumo didn't appreciate it.

Forty-five million—that's a very tempting number.

But so what?

Nagumo is definitely quitting his studies today; even Jesus couldn't stop him.

Now he has the ability to follow his own heart, unlike when he first started school, when he needed to undergo a thorough period of slow development.

"Don't go too far, Aoyama." With a twitch of his cheek, Nagumo tried hard to suppress the urge to punch Aoyama in the face.

He's Miyabi Nagumo a dog's bark?! How is that even possible?!

Horikita Manabu and the homeroom teacher are watching him! And there's Tachibana Akane among the girls!

"So it seems you still harbor rebellious intentions, not obedient at all." Resting his elbow on the edge of the square table, Aoyama casually propped his cheek and said, "You can't even be a dog, what use are you to me?"

"Go to hell!"

Realizing that Aoyama wasn't going to let him off the hook, Nagumo wasn't afraid of any school rules anymore. Before Aoyama could finish speaking, he swung his fist, intending to punch that unsuspecting and obnoxious face.

That's it?

With his right hand firmly catching Nagumo's fist without moving, Aoyama maintained his casual pose of supporting his face.

Then, as Nagumo reluctantly swung his other fist, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Nagumo's right hand, and executed a textbook-perfect back throw.

Nagumo, whose back was pressed heavily against the ground, screamed in agony, before being silenced by Aoyama's foot pressing down on his chest.

He physically assaulted the Student Council Vice President in front of two teachers and the Student Council President.

Without waiting for the notice to arrive, Horikita Manabu coldly made a decision and immediately carried out the expulsion punishment against Nagumo.
