Looking at their blank faces, Kamio Tatsuya held up the camera he had in his hand.
"I've already heard the story from Sakura, and there's evidence here too, so it doesn't matter if she's here or not."
Hearing this, Horikita sighed.
"There's nothing we can do. It's about time, let's go."
After that, the group went to the teachers' office first.
"Huh? Isn't Sakura, the witness, here?" Chabashira Sae looked at the group with some surprise. "Kamio, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to be a witness in place of Sakura, in short, a stand-in."
Hearing Kamio Tatsuya's words, Chabashira Sae found it a little funny.
"Whatever, as a teacher, I'm just a witness."
After arriving at the student council office, Chabashira-sensei took Horikita, Sudou, and Ayanokouji inside, as only two people could observe.
As for Kamio Tatsuya, he waited outside as a witness to be called.
"What are you doing here?"
Just as Kamio Tatsuya was bored and playing with his phone, Horikita Suzune's brother, Horikita Manabu, arrived. Behind him was a girl named Tachibana Akane, whom he had seen several times before.
"I'll be attending as a witness later."
Horikita Manabu looked at Kamio Tatsuya expressionlessly, then adjusted his glasses.
"Come in with me."
"Um, but Class D already has two people observing."
"It's okay."
"But..."
"I said it's okay."
Okay, okay, you're the boss, you decide.
Then Kamio Tatsuya followed Horikita Manabu into the student council office and found an empty place to sit.
As for Horikita Manabu, he naturally sat in the main seat of the hearing.
From Class C, Sakagami-sensei had been seen by Kamio Tatsuya before, Ishizaki too, but the remaining two were unfamiliar faces.
When Sakagami Kazuma saw Kamio Tatsuya appear, he frowned. But considering that Kamio Tatsuya was brought in by Horikita Manabu, he didn't say anything.
"Now, regarding this violence incident, the following meeting will be led by me, the student council secretary, Tachibana Akane. I look forward to working with everyone."
Tachibana Akane announced the hearing had started.
Then, Tachibana Akane briefly explained the outline of the matter.
"Based on the above, we hope to find out which side's claims are the truth."
After finishing the explanation, Tachibana Akane first turned her attention to Class D.
Then, both sides spoke and gave their accounts of what happened.
Komiya and the other two from Class C claimed that Sudou had called them to the special building and was the only one who started the fight there.
Sudou said that he was called to the special building by Komiya and only fought back when he was attacked by the three of them.
But because there were differences in what both sides said, it was now time for Kamio Tatsuya to step in.
"Witness Kamio Tatsuya, do you have anything to say?"
"Oh, a few words."
Kamio Tatsuya took Sakura's camera out of his pocket and turned it on. It showed the photo of Sudou fighting with the Class C students. It seemed Sakura had prepared in advance.
"First of all, I'm not an eye-witness. I just heard what happened from an eye-witness, and I'm just here to tell what I heard. By the way, this eye-witness is also a student from Class D."
Hearing this, Sakagami Kazuma frowned, wanting to say something, but held back for the time being. He decided to listen to Kamio Tatsuya first before making a decision.
"Here is a photo of Sudou and the three Class C students fighting each other. This is enough to prove that it wasn't just Sudou attacking them by himself.
It's just that the three people from Class C were too useless to be beaten by Sudou. As for who called who to the special building, my client doesn't know.
As for who started the fight, my client said that the Class C students attacked first, but since my client is also a student from Class D, whether or not this is accepted is up to the student council president to decide."
Then Tachibana Akane walked down, took the camera from Kamio Tatsuya, and handed it to Horikita Manabu to look over.
"The evidence is valid and can prove that it wasn't a one-sided beating, but that both sides were fighting each other. This is accepted.
But who was the first to attack, that will be decided later. Do the students from Class C having anything to say?"
Hearing this, Sudou from Class D breathed a sigh of relief right away.
He is already relieved?
He really can't understand the situation.
"Be, because Sudou was going to hit us, of course we had to fight back," Ishizaki argued.
"But that doesn't match what you said at the beginning, that you were being beaten on one side." Horikita Suzune took this opportunity to question Ishizaki and the others.
Ishizaki and the others fell silent.
At this time, the teacher from Class C, Sakagami Kazuma, stood up to speak.
"I see, it seems my students lied for some reason. After all, it's too embarrassing to lose when three people are fighting one person.
But it's also true that Sudou injured my students. And the only real evidence can't prove that my students attacked first.
If that's the case, why don't we try to find a compromise? What do you think, Chabashira-sensei?"
"Compromise?"
"If we keep talking like this, we'll never be able to prove who attacked first. This discussion will probably always be going nowhere.
But I think my students are somewhat responsible. Although they were the ones who were injured, it's also true that they lied in their statements.
Therefore, I'll offer a compromise. Based on both sides being suspended from school for two weeks each, Chabashira-sensei, what do you think?"
See, that's the way a -sensei should be!
Seeing that going on wasn't helping Class C, he stopped it right away in time.
And what is Chabashira Sae?
From start to finish, she didn't say a word. Is she just like decoration?
As for this compromise, Kamio Tatsuya didn't know what others thought, but he could accept it.
Because two weeks wouldn't make Sudou fall behind so much he would fail and get kicked out. That way, he wouldn't lose his blood supply.
Since a decision had been made, Kamio Tatsuya felt he should leave.
"Kamio Tatsuya, what do you think?"
Kamio Tatsuya felt confused when the student council president asked him out of nowhere.
"Me? This has nothing to do with me, right? I'm just a stand-in witness who happened to be passing by."
"Just say what you think."
Now that it had come to this, Kamio Tatsuya sighed. The situation was against him.
"I think the compromise is pretty good. After all, Sudou can't give any proof that he's innocent, and the place where it happened, the special building, doesn't have any cameras. There's nothing that can be done about it.
Also, Sudou only broke the other people's bones this time. If he had been a little more rough and accidentally killed someone, I don't think there would have been a need to hold a hearing.
Unless it can be proven that the injuries on Ishizaki and others weren't caused by Sudou, then no matter how long it goes on, the result will be the same, because it's true that Sudou hit them and they were hurt."
Kamio Tatsuya's statement made Class D fall silent.
At first, Horikita had wanted to say that Class C had made it on purpose to clear Sudou, but after Kamio Tatsuya spoke, Sudou would be punished no matter what.
Kamio Tatsuya didn't mean to take Class C's side. He was just tired of the depressing feeling and wanted to end it early.
So he looked at Horikita again, ready to put an end to this fuss.
