Thanks to Yagami for Sending a Timely Rain Shower

After Miyake Hirata joined the battle, Hosen was no longer as at ease as before, and had no choice but to throw the Ibuki in his hand towards Hirata and Miyake.

I plan to deal with Ryuen and Ishizaki first before making any further plans.

Hirata and Miyake had no choice but to stop their attack when faced with Ibuki flying towards them, or rather, their original goal was to save Ibuki.

So the two of them reached out and caught Ibuki when she was thrown at them, but they were also pulled back several steps by the huge inertia.

Once released, Ibuki immediately began coughing violently, followed by a bout of panting, indicating that she had been tormented quite a bit.

"What are you doing, Hosen?"

Just as Hosen was about to make another move, a man in a suit intervened, seemingly separating the fighting students.

"Hosen, I think I've already taught you the school rules strictly enough, to the point that they hurt your ears."

"I know about this."

"If you know, then disband quickly. You shouldn't have been fighting in the middle of the road."

"This doesn't even qualify as a fight."

Hosen chuckled coldly, put his hands in his pockets, and prepared to leave.

"Hosen Kazuomi from Class 1-D, engaged in a malicious fight, disregarding school rules and ignoring the Student Council's warnings. They are hereby suspended from school for one week with 100 points deducted from their Class Points."

Shuichi Kanda coldly looked at Hosen and then delivered his verdict. He then looked at the man in the suit, who was Suma Norinori, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-D. He had seen Sima Kedian at the meeting last Friday, when there was a nameplate with his name on it in front of him.

"Teacher Suma, I think there's no need to ask for reasons anymore, right? If you have any objections, please feel free to appeal to Student Council President Nagumo."

Suma Norinori's face also turned ugly after being scolded so bluntly by Shuichi Kanda.

"What did you say?"

Hosen glanced at Shuichi Kanda with a fierce look in his eyes.

However, Miyake Hirata immediately stepped in front of Shuichi Kanda.

Shuichi Kanda didn't even see him; he was just staring at Suma Norinori Den, waiting for his reply.

"Stop, Hosen!" Seeing that Hosen was about to lose his temper again, Suma Norinori immediately stopped him. As a teacher, he had a duty to maintain the stability of the school. Shuichi Kanda now was not very serious, but if Hosen continued to fight, things would get much worse.

He wasn't expelled for fighting, but for disregarding the school's rules. No one can protect a student like that.

"Class 1-D has no objection to this verdict."

Suma Norinori glared at Hosen, then immediately accepted Shuichi Kanda's verdict.

Hosen's actions just now were more than just fighting; they almost made Ibuki faint. Even Nagumo, who tolerates fighting, would never protect Hosen unless his time as Student Council President was over.

If Hosen is not punished for this incident, more and more similar incidents will occur in the school, and it is not impossible for the girls, who are a vulnerable group, to stage a collective strike.

If things get to that point, Nagumo, as the Student Council President, will absolutely be held responsible.

"Snort!"

Hosen seemed to have calmed down as well, and turned to leave.

The girl named Nanase bowed her head and apologized to the second-year students. "I'm very sorry to have disturbed you."

After apologizing, Nanase turned and followed Hosen.

After Hosen left, Suma Norinori, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-D, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I'm so sorry, my students have caused this trouble."

"Teacher Suma, although the students in Class D are not easy to manage, Hosen is truly exceptional. Therefore, I request that you give Suma a proper warning when you return, and let him reflect on his actions this week. If such a serious incident occurs again, it won't be as easy as it was this time."

To be honest, Shuichi Kanda felt some sympathy for this Mr. Suma, who had unfortunately been saddled with a madman like Hosen.

Chapter 291 Thanks to Yagami Iron Yagami for the timely help

After Hosen and the others left, another first-year student emerged from the crowd. He was a boy with brown hair and a very cheerful appearance.

Compared to Hosen, this student seemed like a good person just by his appearance.

"It seems that Hosen, who is in the same grade as me, has caused trouble for the seniors. On behalf of the first-year students, I apologize again."

As he spoke, the boy lowered his head slightly to apologize to Shuichi Kanda, and especially to Ibuki.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Yagami Takuya from Class 1-B. Nice to meet you."

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and faced with Yagami's politeness, Shuichi Kanda nodded in agreement.

"It's alright, Hosen has already been punished anyway, which is quite advantageous for you who aren't classmates."

Shuichi Kanda's words made Yagami tilt his head slightly.

"Advantageous? What does that mean?"

"Due to the rules, I cannot say, but you will find out soon enough." Shuichi Kanda had a fairly good impression of this Yagami; at least he knew the rules.

"I see, I understand. We first-year students aren't very familiar with the Special Exam yet. We might cause a lot of trouble in the future, so please give us your guidance, seniors."

After exchanging pleasantries, the student named Yagami prepared to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

Following his gaze, Matsushita, Kushida, Sato, and Xiao Mei were just coming up the stairs, preparing to return to Class A.

Although the four of them chatted and laughed as they walked up, they immediately realized what had happened when they saw the tense atmosphere and the large number of students in the corridor.

Seeing Shuichi Kanda's indifferent expression, Kushida couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Um, Shuichi, what happened here?"

Kushida asked the question, Shuichi Kanda couldn't continue to give him a cold shoulder.

"It's nothing. Some idiot just came to cause trouble, but he's been sent away."

"I see."

Kushida nodded. Since Shuichi Kanda was unwilling to talk about it, Kushida wisely refrained from pressing him further. After all, the atmosphere at the scene was rather unpleasant, and Ibuki's expression was clearly not quite right.

"Um... you wouldn't happen to be Kushida Kikyo- senpai, would you?"

Kushida turned around upon hearing the voice, and Shuichi Kanda's expression also changed before he looked at Yagami, who had made the sound.

"Uh—?" Kushida tilted his head, looking confused. "Um, excuse me, I don't think I know you."

"It's me, didn't you know? Although it's understandable that you don't, I'm Yagami Takuya."

Yagami's face showed some excitement, as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

Is this guy a junior from the same school as Kushida? Or a neighbor who lives near his house? If so, does he know about Kushida's past?

Almost instantly, these thoughts arose in Shuichi Kanda's mind.

After hearing the name, Kushida thought for a moment, then shook his head apologetically. "Sorry, I still can't remember."

"Have you forgotten? Back in middle school, I was a member of the Student Council, back then..."

"Ah! It's Yagami -kun! You've grown so tall in just one year!"

"Yes, it's Yagami! Long time no see!"

"Oh, so Yagami -kun goes to this school too! What a coincidence!"

Watching the two greeting each other back and forth, Shuichi Kanda was somewhat puzzled. Did Kikyo really know him?

"Is it someone we know?"

Detective Xiuyi looked at Kushida.

"Well, how should I put it, we hardly ever interact. My impression of Yagami Takuya is that he's very smart. Since we're in different grades, we've only greeted each other occasionally."

Shuichi Kanda nodded and then looked at Horikita, but Horikita immediately turned his head away after making eye contact with Shuichi Kanda.

Damn, I knew this guy was unreliable. Back in middle school, she probably didn't even know all the students in her own grade... no, she probably didn't even know all the students in her own class, let alone students in other grades.

Never mind, I'll just ask Kushida later.

The conversation between Yagami and Kushida continued, and it was easy to tell from his tone that he seemed to admire Kushida.

"It may be abrupt, but it's definitely fine if it's Kushida -senpai. May I ask if Kushida- senpai can team up with me? I don't know much about the Special Exam yet, so I'd like to team up with someone I can trust."

Yagami said this, he smiled and extended his hand.

However, Kushida hesitated. Her academic ability was B+, and according to Shuichi Kanda's previous plan, those with an academic ability of B or above were to team up with someone with a lower academic ability.

Yagami's academic ability is A (93), which is the top academic ability besides Shuichi Kanda. Teaming up with Yagami would be a waste of two high-level combatants.

"However, there are also many students in our class who are a cause for concern." Kushida looked troubled.

"Oh, I see. I can help connect the upperclassmen in Class A with their classmates. Our class has a pretty good overall academic level, and we definitely won't let any of their classmates drop out."

Upon hearing Kushida's words, Yagami immediately expressed his confidence that he had a way to solve Kushida's problem.

Kushida was at a loss for what to do after hearing Yagami's words.

Damn it, I've already been so tactful, why are you still nagging me?!

Then, Kushida looked at Shuichi Kanda with a pleading look. To others, it seemed as if he was seeking Shuichi Kanda's opinion.

"That would be great if that were the case." Shuichi Kanda stepped forward, walked to Kushida's side, and looked at Yagami. "But since we still have plenty of time, Yagami, you should probably go back and ask your classmates for their opinions first. What do you think? Of course, we won't act rashly either."

Yagami paused for a moment, then nodded in deep agreement. "Yeah, I understand. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm quite popular in Class 1-B. I'll finalize things as soon as possible."

Although it's unclear whether Yagami is actually a classmate of Kushida, or what his motives are, if he can help make the connection, then Class A won't have to worry about the exam this time.

Horikita, who was not far away, sighed. He said he wouldn't take action, but he managed to resolve the matter so easily.

After seeing Yagami off, Shuichi Kanda looked at Horikita and the others. "We can't put all our hopes on Yagami. Even B+ students might not want to team up with Sudo, who has an E+ academic level, so your work can't stop yet."

"Okay, I understand."

Horikita nodded unhappily, feeling useless again for not being of any use.

"Oh right, and what about the pond..."

Before Shuichi Kanda could finish speaking, Ike's voice came from not far away.

"I've already found a partner."

Following the sound of Chi's voice, a very smug expression appeared on Chi's face.

"You didn't just pick anyone as your partner, did you?" Looking at Ike's smug expression, Sudo was a little incredulous, knowing that Ike was a genuine E+ level academic achiever.

Finding a partner who can guarantee you won't drop out of school in just one day? That's incredibly fast!

"Hehehe, actually, a friend of mine who I've known since childhood is also coming to this high school. When I saw his name on the OAA website, I couldn't quite believe it."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is way too fake!"

First, Kushida ran into his classmate, and then Ike said that he met his longtime friend.

"Because that guy transferred schools in middle school, it seems he repeated a year, and I never expected to run into him at this school! And I saw his OAA grades, his academic performance is a genuine A."

Chi became more and more excited and proud as he spoke.

Even Shuichi Kanda couldn't help but marvel at this guy's incredible luck; was he perhaps the chosen one?

Seeing the smug Ike, Sudo's eyes were already red with envy, but he still smiled and put his arm around Ike's neck, casually playing with Ike's hair.

"Damn it, you're so lucky!"

The midday commotion ended without incident, with the most unfortunate one being Ibuki from Class D, who was nearly choked unconscious by that gorilla, Hosen, and utterly humiliated.

Ibuki has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she usually doesn't even take Ryuen seriously. Although she obeys Ryuen's orders, it's only because she thinks Ryuen can lead the class to better results.

Although she knew her physical abilities were not as good as the boys', she didn't think she would lose to her peers, after all, she had countless techniques to make up for it. However, what happened today dealt her a heavy blow.

Faced with Hosen's mountain-like, massive physique, Ibuki was powerless to resist. If it weren't for Ryuen and the others' rescue, she would have definitely lost consciousness and been thrown on the ground like trash.

In fact, she had been thrown out by Hosen like trash, and if Hirata and Miyake hadn't caught her, she would probably be in pain for much more than just her neck right now.

Before the afternoon classes began, the first-grade students noticed that there were a few lines of something different on the small blackboard in the first-floor entrance hall.

Class 1-A: 975 points

Class 1-B: 932 points

Class 1-C: 866 points

Class 1-D: 458 points

"What, what is this?"

These things weren't available when I went for lunch.
