"Horikita, are you trying to say that class C people purposely made Sudou angry so Sudou would hit them, right?"
Horikita Suzune quietly nodded. If she could prove that class C was at fault first, then maybe she could prove Sudou was innocent.
"It's no use. You're looking in the wrong place from the start. Since Sudou admitted that he hurt the three class C people badly, he can't be seen as innocent.
Even if it was self-defense, he went too far. You had no chance of winning this from the start."
"You couldn't save Sudou from the start. All you can do is drag some class C people down with him.
I think Sudou is being punished not because he fought, but because he didn't know where to stop. That's the main thing about this."
After Kamio Tatsuya's confusing advice, Horikita took a deep breath, as if she had thought of something.
"But if the class C people hadn't attacked Sudou first, none of this would have happened. So Sudou is the one who was hurt here."
Hearing this, Kamio Tatsuya didn't say anything more. If you can't talk sense into someone, why bother?
The class C students quickly said they were the ones who were hurt.
"We're the ones who were hurt, Student Council President!"
"That's not true! I'm the one who was hurt!"
Right away, the student council room was noisy and chaotic.
"That's enough. Going on like this is just wasting time."
Horikita Manabu was annoyed by the confusion.
Up until now, all he had done was show that class C wasn't just getting beaten up. There had been no progress.
"Anyway, you both say the other side attacked first. That means someone is telling a really bad lie."
"Can you both promise that what you said today is true?"
Faced with Horikita Manabu's question, Sudou and the class C people both nodded.
"In that case, I'll give you each a day to find new proof. We'll meet again tomorrow at 4 p.m.
If no one comes up with enough proof or admits their mistake by then, we'll decide based on the proof we have now. And depending on the situation, we might think about kicking someone out. That's all."
After leaving the student council office, Sudou started complaining right away.
"Hey, Kamio, why didn't you speak up for me at the meeting?"
Hearing this, not only Kamio Tatsuya, but even Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Wh, what's wrong?"
Being stared at by the three made Sudou nervous.
"Hmph."
Kamio Tatsuya sneered, grabbed Sakura's camera, and left feeling annoyed.
Horikita Suzune sighed.
"Who do you think got you that extra day to look for proof?" Horikita Suzune sighed. She suddenly felt really tired.
Seeing how Horikita looked, Ayanokouji decided to try and explain things to the idiot Sudou.
"If Kamio-kun hadn't said that, you'd probably be suspended by now. And he also gave us an idea. If we can prove that you didn't cause the injuries on the class C students, we should be able to really get back at them."
At this point, the details of what happened aren't important. What's important is that someone is lying on purpose and getting the school involved.
If this happened outside, it would be lying under oath, which is against the law.
Even though this is a school, the punishment would definitely be more than just being suspended.
Clearly, Horikita Manabu wanted to scare the side that was lying into admitting their mistake.
But this method isn't going to work.
Class C has a big advantage right now, and class D can't prove they're lying. So they won't admit it.
As for Sudou, he's probably telling the truth. He really was set up.
After finishing things at the student council, Kamio Tatsuya went back to the classroom. Sakura Airi was still waiting there. Not only Sakura, but also Kushida and Hirata were there.
"Kamio, how did it go?"
"The hearing was delayed. The student council president gave us a day to collect more proof." As he spoke, Kamio Tatsuya put Sakura's camera on her desk.
"Is, is it because of me?"
Sakura said, stuttering.
"It's no use. It would be the same even if you went yourself. As classmates, our statements aren't going to be seen as trustworthy."
Sakura lowered her head, feeling down.
"Aren't Horikita and the others back yet?"
"Maybe she has other things to do."
Ever since Horikita said Sudou was the victim, Kamio Tatsuya knew what she was planning to do. She still chose that path.
Kamio Tatsuya went back to his seat, grabbed his bag, and left the classroom, cursing himself as he walked.
What was I thinking, giving that idiot more time!
I'm so stupid!
After leaving the classroom, Kamio Tatsuya got a message from Ryuen.
[What do you mean?]
[I don't mean anything. I won't do anything else after this. You can relax.]
Since that idiot Sudou doesn't appreciate it, why would I protect you?
Using an idiot like that as a punching bag, Kamio Tatsuya is worried his intelligence might go down.
Kamio Tatsuya closed his phone. He had given the hint. Whether Ryuen could figure it out was up to him. If he couldn't, that just shows what he's capable of.
As for why he gave Ryuen the hint, it's simple. I just can't stand being wronged even a little!
Seeing the message that Kamio Tatsuya sent, Ryuen narrowed his eyes and started thinking.
What is this guy trying to do?
Does he want to get involved or not?
'I won't do anything else.'
Does that mean someone else will keep acting?
Horikita Suzune?
What is she planning to do?
She can't find any proof that Ishizaki and the others attacked first, and she can't find any proof that Sudou didn't cause the injuries on Ishizaki and the others.
She can't prove that Ishizaki and the others are lying. Does she still want to turn things around in this situation?
How?
Ryuen couldn't think of an answer, because it's definitely impossible under normal conditions. In that case, he should think differently...
Gradually, an idea started to form in Ryuen's head, and he widened his eyes.
Wait, what?
Horikita Suzune, are you going to make something out of nothing?
The next day after school, Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji left the classroom right after class, going somewhere unknown.
Kamio Tatsuya went straight to the library with his bag. He wasn't interested at all in whether Horikita Suzune's plan would succeed.
If she was only dealing with Ishizaki and the other two, it would definitely work out.
But if Ryuen understood the hint he gave him yesterday, then Horikita Suzune is in big trouble today.
If Ryuen is cruel enough, Horikita Suzune will definitely be kicked out, and Horikita's helpers will definitely be punished.
But anyway, she brought this on herself. Kamio Tatsuya doesn't plan to get involved.
