When Bai Yuze walked out of the dormitory, it was already afternoon.
He pulled out his phone to check the time and saw that it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Is it that late already? The opening ceremony should be almost over."
Bai Yuze was walking on the road when he heard a quarrel.
This made him feel a bit strange; the opening ceremony shouldn't have ended at this time. Could it be that there were other students who hadn't attended? Even stranger, his hearing seemed to have improved quite a bit.
Bai Yuze thought as he approached, hiding behind the campus greenery and parting the grass to check the situation.
What came into view was Horikita Suzune, who had been so arrogant that morning, but now she looked like she was being scolded by a parent.
Seeing this, Bai Yuze immediately remembered this was the scene where Horikita Manabu forced Horikita Suzune to drop out, but compared to the plot he remembered, this seemed to be happening a bit too quickly.
"Could it be that he was so afraid of his sister getting into an accident that he didn't hesitate to push aside the important opening ceremony just to persuade her to drop out? What a pretentious, tsundere!
Bai Yuze didn't show himself. Instead, he watched the scene unfold with an appreciative gaze. He had to admit, imagined scenes in books just couldn't compare to real-life ones!
"Suzune, drop out."
Horikita Manabu said coldly, not even looking at Horikita Suzune.
"I'm not the useless me I was back then! I will definitely make a change!"
Horikita Suzune anxiously tried to justify herself, like an office worker trying to prove their worth to a capitalist.
"You still don't understand anything. This isn't playing house."
Horikita Manabu had clearly lost his patience. His right hand clenched into a fist, as if it would shoot out at any moment.
"I will survive in this school! I won't be like when I was little..."
"Shut up!"
Horikita Suzune was startled by Horikita Manabu, and her body involuntarily retreated a few steps until she could retreat no further.
"It seems my verbal expression was a bit unclear."
Bang!
Horikita Manabu punched the wall next to Horikita Suzune, cracking it. In Horikita Suzune's shocked gaze, he slowly spoke.
"In this school, only the strong can survive. The weak are only fit to be stepping stones."
"You want to prove your ability, don't you? I'll give you a chance."
"Either drop out obediently, or take this punch from me."
"At least dying by my hand is better than dying by those things, right?"
After Horikita Manabu finished speaking, he began a countdown. Horikita Suzune, leaning against the cracked wall, first had a complex expression, then closed her eyes.
Horikita Manabu saw Horikita Suzune's resigned look and sneered.
"Heh, is this your so-called growth? Facing death, you can only close your eyes helplessly?"
"Then... what should I do..."
"What to do?"
Horikita Manabu suddenly grabbed Horikita Suzune's shoulders like a madman, with a fierce expression on his face.
"Of course, you resist! Poke out my eyes with your fingers! Scratch off my flesh with your nails! Bite off a bloody chunk of my flesh with your teeth! Use every method you can think of to survive! Do you understand?!"
Horikita Manabu roared the last few sentences.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yuze couldn't help but shake his head.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at this broken school, forcing the Student Council President. And this damn tsundere is just too much. If he wanted to hit her, he would have done it already. I wonder if Horikita can understand her brother's good intentions."
"I... I understand... but I really don't want to drop out..."
Horikita Suzune replied tremblingly, but she still refused to leave the school.
"Alright."
No sooner had Horikita Manabu said this than his entire body instantly exerted force. His waist drove his arm, and his arm drove his fist, whooshing towards Horikita Suzune's face.
Click!
Bai Yuze took the opportunity to snap a photo, thinking he could make a fortune from it!
As for Horikita Suzune's predicament, he wasn't worried at all. Firstly, the two of them had no connection.
Secondly, if Horikita Manabu really wanted to harm Horikita Suzune, he would have acted long ago.
Just then, Bai Yuze suddenly realized that Horikita Manabu had disappeared, and he felt a chill behind him.
It was as if his body had come alive. Before Bai Yuze could react, his body moved.
Bai Yuze's right leg kicked back directly towards Horikita Manabu's crotch. Seeing this, Horikita Manabu could only abandon his attack and switch to defense, while Bai Yuze also used the momentum to roll outwards, creating distance between himself and Horikita Manabu.
Bai Yuze quickly stood up, his eyes fixed on Horikita Manabu as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Good heavens, I got into trouble while watching the show! This guy isn't going to kill me to silence me, is he?!"
Fortunately, Horikita Manabu didn't make any further moves. Instead, he stood still, observing Bai Yuze.
"I remember your name is Bai Yuze, right? The opening ceremony shouldn't be over at this time."
"It's indeed not over, but it's also fortunate that the opening ceremony isn't over, otherwise I would have missed the good show of the Student Council President coercing and molesting a female student! After all, no matter how bold the Student Council President is, he would only dare to do such things in private, right?"
"I'm telling you, you'd better stay away from me, otherwise your glorious deeds will spread throughout the entire school!"
Bai Yuze pulled out his phone and quickly drafted a message. The content was, "Shocking! Student Council President arbitrarily coerces and threatens female students!" Below it was the picture he had just taken.
"Heh! You're quite good with your words, and your reaction just now was pretty fast. Suzune, is this your friend?"
Horikita Manabu turned to look at Horikita Suzune, with a hint of scrutiny and expectation in his eyes.
"No... he's not my friend..."
Horikita Suzune still dared not meet Horikita Manabu's eyes, only shrinking her body helplessly. She looked exactly like a pitiful child who had suffered grievances and wanted to confide in her family, but was instead met with cold water.
Bai Yuze also caught the hint of heartache and regret in Horikita Manabu's eyes, but Horikita Manabu quickly reverted to his indifferent demeanor.
"Heh, you're right. I actually fantasized that you would grow."
"Hey, hey, hey! I said I'm still here! Can you show me some respect?"
Bai Yuze protested. He was really fed up with this continuous drama between the brother complex and the tsundere sister complex!
"Speak. What do you want?"
Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses and asked Bai Yuze.
He was very certain that Bai Yuze needed something. If there was a need, then there was naturally room for negotiation.
"As expected of a smart person. I like talking to smart people. You're much better than your sister."
Bai Yuze didn't hesitate with his praise. For some reason, he seemed to have an indescribable emotion towards Horikita Manabu, like jealousy, yet also like familiarity, and even a hint of... longing?"
