The Evening Breeze Carried Away Her Words

Hearing Shinomiya Ju Fan suddenly ask this, Sakagami showed a surprised expression, not knowing what he was up to. After glancing around at the Class D students and receiving an affirmative response, he spoke.

"Although I don't know what kind of game you're playing, the evidence and statements provided by our Class D students are correct."

"Since you are certain, Sakagami-sensei, then that's fine. Our testimonies are completely contradictory. That means one of us is telling a very malicious lie. So, Student Council President, how will the school handle such a person?"

"Naturally, we will handle it reasonably, and if necessary, we will consider expulsion."

Horikita Manabu's words sounded as if he hadn't said anything at all. In other words, the specific handling is entirely up to his judgment?

"Apologies, Student Council President, but I need a definitive answer, not such vague rhetoric."

"Shinomiya-kun, do not be rude to the Student Council President. The matter is already over."

"No, the matter is not over, Sakagami-sensei. If you want a definitive answer, I can give you one. The lying party will be suspended for one month and have the corresponding points deducted. Does this answer satisfy you, Shinomiya-kun?"

Regarding Sakagami's statement, Horikita Manabu did not respond, but instead continued with the previous topic. A one-month suspension, huh? Not to mention that Sudo's original punishment was already a one-month suspension. Your bias is truly a bit excessive. If it were Class C (Ju Fan) who lied, that would be practically equivalent to no punishment at all. Your biased officiating is just too obvious.

"A one-month suspension, fine, let's consider it a punishment for them. Suzune, hand the pre-prepared recording to Secretary Tachibana. This is our most powerful evidence."

That's right, before coming to the hearing, Ju Fan had already given the copied recording to Suzune. That was why she was so calm during the hearing. Because she already knew this was a debate that could not be lost under any circumstances.

Naturally, there was no need to show extra emotion; the only difference would be the punishment received by the Class D students.

"A recording? How is that possible? There are clearly no cameras installed there. How could there be such a thing as a recording?"

As a homeroom teacher, Sakagami naturally knew the specific situation of the school, and of course, he was clear that no cameras were installed in the Special Building.

"As for that, I have no comment. If you want to know, go check for yourself."

Facts speak louder than words. When Secretary Tachibana played the contents of the recording, this debate was already over. No, it should be said that it was over from the very beginning. From the moment they chose to fight at the Special Building, this matter had no suspense.

The recording clearly documented what happened that night, and it was extremely sharp. Who threw the first punch and who provoked first was crystal clear. Hmm, the image quality was also very good; the viewer felt as if they were there in person. Even the voices were recorded clearly. I have to say, things produced by the system are always top-tier.

"Sakagami-sensei, help us. We don't want to be suspended for a month!"

"Please help us, sensei."

"It is a pity that we have indeed lost this time. To this extent, even I cannot help you. Shinomiya Ju Fan, is it? I have remembered this name."

"Then this meeting is officially concluded. The Class C student, Sudo, is judged to be innocent and does not need to bear any responsibility. The three students from Class D will be suspended for one month due to their involvement in the fighting incident. Corresponding points will be deducted from the class later. That is all, no questions, right?"

"Yes!"

In short, the matter had become a foregone conclusion, and even if the Class D students had questions, it was of no use. It was a pity that they were only suspended for a month; Ju Fan's original idea was to have them expelled directly. As long as they are students, everyone fears expulsion. If that were the case, if other classes wanted to make a move in this way, they would have to consider the consequences.

Unfortunately, Horikita Manabu is a well-known conservative, so he naturally would not agree to such a proposal. However, even one month should be enough for them to learn their lesson. I just don't know what the mastermind behind them will think.

"Shinomiya, you guy. If you had this kind of evidence, you should have brought it out sooner. You scared me to death just now."

At this moment, Sudo's face was filled with the expression of someone who had survived a disaster. Looking at his excited appearance, he was just short of hugging him directly. Perhaps he was also restraining his own excitement.

"Since that's the case, why not consider your usual words and actions more? It was just a coincidence that this happened at the Special Building, which is why it went so smoothly. If it hadn't, Sudo, you might have been suspended by now. Before acting, at least think about what the consequences will be."

"Sorry, Shinomiya-sama, I know I was wrong. Please stop your preaching. But personality and habits are not things that can be changed overnight. So, I'll have to ask you to bear with me in the future."

Perhaps because he already knew how big a mistake he had made this time, Sudo's expression was exceptionally sincere. He looked like he had the intention to repent. It's just unclear how long this enthusiasm will last.

But as long as he deeply remembers this lesson and continues to move forward, he will definitely become stronger. This experience will surely become a beautiful memory for him.

"I have understood that you intend to repent, Sudo, but you shouldn't be the only one thanking me right now. Suzune also gave you a lot of help in this debate. And everyone in the class. These are all people you need to thank."

"That's true, everyone really helped me a lot this time. Horikita-san, thank you very much for your help this time. I'm really grateful that you spoke for me at the debate."

Usually, these two look down on each other. The fact that Sudo could lower his head here proved that he had already changed.

"Don't thank me. I didn't do this for you. This is something that must be done to advance to Class A. I will take action regardless of who in the class gets into trouble. I believe Ju Fan is the same. So, you just need to work hard to improve yourself. That is the best thanks you can give me."

Hmm, it is rare for such nice words to come out of Suzune's mouth. Perhaps this is her way of expressing her goodwill. But no matter what, after this incident, Sudo will likely become their capable assistant in their future advancement to Class A.

After that, Sudo successfully returned to the Basketball Club to train. It shows just how much he loves basketball. No wonder his physique is so good.

"It's over. This debate was completely your one-man show, wasn't it? I wasn't able to help at all?"

"No, you helped me a great deal just by sitting there."

After all, Horikita Manabu only appeared there because Suzune participated in the debate. Anyone could hear the bias in his language.

"Are you saying I'm a useless vase?"

"No, I didn't mean that... By the way, actually, you know I have social anxiety, right? I can't speak properly in front of strangers. Today, it was precisely because you were supporting me by my side that this debate could be successful.

After all, even if there is evidence, whether it can be used is another matter."

Ju Fan was not lying about this, although it was an exaggeration. If he were surrounded by strangers, he would indeed show that kind of personality. Just like at the start of the school year. If there were even one acquaintance, this situation wouldn't happen.

"Is that so? Then I will also be like this in the future..."

Ju Fan did not hear Horikita Suzune's final words clearly. But there was one thing that left a deep impression on him: her smile at that moment was as bright as a flower, making it impossible to forget for a long time...
