Using Underhanded Tactics? Ryuuen, You've Fallen from Class C! Part 2!! 5k

"Ah...ha..." Suzune Horikita never expected this to happen.

"Ha... ah... Hachiman Hikigaya... you... ha... you... ha... you're doing... slap—"

But the effect on Suzune Horikita seemed to be unexpectedly outstanding.

She couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

Then, even subconsciously, they stood up to run away.

"..." The others looked on in surprise.

Including her brother, Student Council President Manabu Horikita. However, unlike the other surprised people, Manabu Horikita still had his elbows resting on the table, wearing glasses and looking in their direction, appearing—expressionless.

"Ha... Ah... Hmph—"

Suzune Horikita stood up, finally freeing herself from Hachiman Hikigaya's grasp. She was looking at him with an angry expression.

But there's no need to worry about that.

Didn't you see the Student Council President's expressionless face, and how Chabashira-sensei, though initially surprised, suddenly turned away and seemed relieved?

This means that they all realized that Horikita was practically no fighter before, but now, at least she has regained consciousness.

You can speak now.

She gets angry too.

"Horikita, I've already told you my winning strategy," Hachiman said. "And now this is your stage. Otherwise, would you have come here as a defense attorney just to watch the show?"

"Defense, huh..."

Horikita was originally going to be angry.

But then it suddenly dawned on me that I had just acted like a weakling.

How can I gain my brother's approval in this situation, and how can I tell him that I am no longer the useless sister he knows?

So.

She needs to prove herself.

Chapter 71 Using Underhanded Tactics? Ryuen Kakeru, you've fallen out of Class C! Part 2!! 5k

Suzune Horikita wants to prove herself.

Then.

Suzune Horikita stood up and looked at Komiyama and Daichi Ishizaki.

"Are you sure your injuries were caused by Sudō?" Suzune Horikita asked.

"Yes, Sudō was rough with his hands, and we were in pain for a while," Daichi Ishizaki said.

"Oh, so you mean Sudō injured you like this?" Suzune Horikita said.

"Then please withdraw from school." Suzune Horikita then looked at Manabu Horikita.

Although facing my brother directly is very stressful.

But.

My behavior just now probably made my brother think about dropping me out of school again.

But she still wanted to gain the other person's approval.

"I want to plead not guilty for Sudō."

"Because it was all a false accusation by the students of Class C."

"Furthermore, they initially planned the assault, and now that everyone is here, I would like to request that the Student Council President -First Year Class C be punished for the false accusation."

As she said this, Suzune Horikita stubbornly raised her head.

The Student Council President finally changed his posture.

He didn't react when he saw his sister being tickled, but now it seems he's about to make a statement.

But.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Upon hearing Horikita's voice, the slightly thin man with glasses, the homeroom teacher of Class C, immediately looked over.

"Please don't make such false accusations against the students in our class!" the man said quickly.

"This is a discussion and struggle among students. As teachers, we shouldn't interfere, right, Itagami-sensei?" However, Chabashira-sensei interrupted.

"..." The Kazuma Sakagami.

What's wrong with this Sae Chabashira? It suddenly has increased attack power.

This is her second time teaching Class D.

This school Meritocracy, and the same applies to its teachers. Teachers' salaries and benefits are also tied to the number of classes they teach.

As the homeroom teacher of Class C, Kazuma Sakagami was always on guard against Chabashira.

But.

The previous Chabashira did nothing.

In other words, it didn't have much offensive power before.

The result is now.

Has it started outputting?

"What evidence is there to prove Sudō's innocence?" Manabu Horikita asked. "Don't change the subject."

"We have witnesses who saw Sudō fighting," Suzune Horikita said. "In other words, eyewitnesses. It can be confirmed that Daichi Ishizaki, Komiyama, and Yamamoto from Class C deliberately framed Sudō."

"And they even turned around and made a false accusation," Suzune said.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm definitely innocent!"

Ken Sudō, who had been unable to join the conversation, immediately spoke up to defend himself, "Komiyama and the others are jealous that I became a full member of the Basketball Club as a freshman. So they must be trying to sabotage me!"

However, it is clear that his explanation missed the point.

"That's impossible," Daichi Ishizaki quickly said. "We're the innocent ones. Everyone knows Sudō is violent. And we're still injured!"

In fact, they had already rehearsed for this trial.

However, the content of the case was all about them accusing Sudō, but now this counter-accusation has completely baffled them.

Because this isn't being performed according to the script.

He couldn't keep up with the performance.

"What evidence do you have? Why don't you just say you have eyewitnesses? Let him come out and show himself!" the Kazuma Sakagami said. "Or are you just trying to deceive the students in our class?"

"And even if a so-called witness is found randomly, they might be a fake!"

"And if it's perjury, then Class C will hold you accountable," the Kazuma Sakagami said. Full power unleashed.

"Teacher on the board!"

Chabashira-sensei, look over here.

Because this teacher on the board has started interfering in the students' affairs.

The other party is already an adult and also a graduate of this school.

So.

He's also quick-witted.

They began to give hints to Daichi Ishizaki.

Last week First-year Class D spent searching for eyewitnesses to Sudō's fight, but unfortunately, despite using so much resources, including the Student Council's bulletin board, they still couldn't find any witnesses.

Therefore, based on this, the Kazuma Sakagami reminded them that their current explanation might just be a defensive tactic used by Class D to trick them into telling the truth.

So Daichi Ishizaki and the others must not say the wrong thing.

And the other party probably understood.

Because if it is proven that Class C made a false accusation, the consequences will be severe.

It was even to the point that he couldn't accept it.

So I want to save myself.

The above is the debate between the two sides in the court hearing, presented by the Itagami-sensei of Class C.

Normally, both sides can prepare defense lawyers during a trial. However, Class C did not.

Besides the arrangements made by Ryuen, there was also the reliable presence of the Kazuma Sakagami.

This teacher will do everything in her power to guide Class C.

Ryuen was able to integrate the classes so quickly, partly due to Ryuen's own methods, but also thanks to the covert support of the Kazuma Sakagami.

In other words, the teacher on the board believes that this year's Ryuen can make it to the top.

Those who manage to rise to the top can reap numerous benefits, including increased wages and salaries, as well as the acquisition of dignity and personal integrity.

Since Class C and Class D are similar, both being trash classes, he didn't have much face to lose.

"Speak with evidence," Manabu Horikita said calmly. "If you are a witness, then call them out. And if you have evidence, then present it."

If this were a debate, I'd only say it was so-so.

Fights among students are nothing new, and there is a set procedure for handling them.

However, since this is now Behavioral Guidelines Exam, the deductions will be more severe.

Result.

Are there any more surprises yet?

But Manabu Horikita no longer pays attention to his younger sister; he has set his sights on someone else.

The boy hasn't yet expressed his opinion.

Previously, the other party had proactively demonstrated their actions by disrupting the surveillance footage and revealing the class's evaluation scores. Now, if it's just a matter of fighting, Manabu Horikita feels that the other party has other plans and shouldn't just remain silent.

Under Manabu Horikita's watchful eye.

"Yes, there is." Hachiman, who had just switched seats with Chabashira-sensei and touched the Student Council President council president's sister in front of him, spoke up.

"Suzune Horikita is the eyewitness, and this is the recording she made," Hachiman said. He then took out an SD card from a camera.

"..." Manabu Horikita did not reply immediately.

Instead, he looked at Akane Tachibana.

Akane Tachibana immediately understood and went to collect the SD card.

Then, the device was operated to prepare to project the contents of the SD card onto the projector.

"..." The Kazuma Sakagami remained calm.

In fact, they had already realized that the situation had become dangerous.

Because if they are just eyewitnesses, they may not come forward to testify for various reasons.

But if it's recorded data or something... is that scary?

Because once this information is exposed, it will be a huge disadvantage for Class C.

Therefore, evidence can be used to refute Class C's trial from the very beginning.

Instead of dragging it out until now... even the Student Council President was there!

In other words...

Was Class C actually tricked?

The teacher on the board imagined a terrible situation, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
