Then, Ryuen turned his eyes to Katsuragi. Katsuragi frowned and thought, because this matter was delicate.
At that time, it was true that Yamauchi Haruki bumped into Ishizaki from behind, causing Ishizaki to be covered in drink.
But only the person involved would know if it was deliberate.
"Unfortunately, although I saw what happened, I can't judge whether this student from Class D really did it on purpose."
"How could it not be on purpose? The space behind me could definitely fit three people side by side, but this guy just bumped into me. Doesn't that count as on purpose?"
Hearing Katsuragi's words, Ishizaki immediately jumped up excitedly.
"I don't deny that, but I don't know if the other party did it on purpose."
Although Katsuragi kept saying he didn't know if the other party did it on purpose, everyone present understood that he was actually just avoiding risk.
At this point, it was clear whether Yamauchi had done it on purpose.
But...
"So, even if that's the case, so what? I was chatting with friends at the time and didn't notice him at all. Why should I be considered to have done it on purpose?"
Yamauchi was still being stubborn, and Ryuen knew that he was being stubborn, but there was nothing he could do yet, because this was a school, so this level of judgment needed to be made by the school.
So Ryuen looked at the teacher who came with him, Sakagami Kazuma.
Sakagami Kazuma shook his head helplessly. Although he wanted to favor his student, it was a fact that Ishizaki had hit someone.
Moreover, even if Yamauchi's behavior was reported to the student council, it would likely end without a conclusion due to the lack of concrete witnesses and evidence.
The final result would still be that Ishizaki Daichi would be punished, and Class C would have class points deducted.
Seeing Sakagami's reaction, Ryuen immediately knew that Class C was going to have to swallow this loss.
But he wasn't one to easily admit defeat and leave with his tail between his legs, so he looked at Hirata.
"Hirata, you heard what I just said. Since that guy said he didn't do it on purpose, then let's just pretend he didn't. We'll compensate him, just name the number of points you want.
Just don't treat me like a sucker, and one accident is enough. What do you think?"
Hearing these words, Hirata didn't react, but Kamio Tatsuya's heart skipped a beat.
Because Ryuen's words almost completely blocked Kamio Tatsuya's plan to have Class D extort money.
If Class D remained silent, then Ryuen's tactic would be successful. If Class D continued to extort money, then it would be fun.
Once could be considered an accident, twice could be considered carelessness, but what about three or four times? Class D doesn't just have three or four people short on points, and there are definitely more than three or four who are willing to take the risk for points.
If it happened too many times, Class D would have to admit that they were doing it on purpose.
Then the situation would be this: Class D students would be extorting money everywhere for points, and the upright Hirata would try to stop them for the sake of stability.
Then the conflict between the classes would become a conflict between Hirata and the Class D students doing the extorting.
He would become disliked by everyone, and in the worst case, he would even become alienated from the Class D students.
This would also be Ryuen's victory.
If Ryuen could use this incident to get rid of Hirata, he could be said to have made a huge profit.
Amazing!
In just a short while, Ryuen had come up with such a brilliant plan, and Kamio Tatsuya was somewhat impressed.
Hirata frowned, because he couldn't guarantee that the Class D students wouldn't continue to extort money.
Although Kamio Tatsuya didn't send yesterday's information to Hirata, Hirata's connections were exceptionally good. As soon as Kamio Tatsuya sent the information to the group.
Someone told Hirata about it, so Hirata actually knew that Yamauchi had done it on purpose, but...
"I will try my best to restrain the students of Class D, but I can't guarantee that it won't happen again. If similar things happen again, the school should punish them, not the students using violence to solve the problem."
Hearing this, Ryuen's face darkened, and Kamio Tatsuya also felt it was wonderful and surprised.
Seeing Hirata's performance before, he thought Hirata would unconditionally protect his class's students, but he unexpectedly knew exactly what was going on.
And he seemed to only care about the violence.
In other words, as long as the students from other classes didn't use violence, he wouldn't care?
In that case, Ryuen's solution just now didn't seem to be as effective.
"Let the school punish them? Heh, the most that will happen is that class points will be deducted, right? Your class has 0 points, are you kidding me?"
Without waiting for Hirata to answer, Ryuen looked at Kanzaki and Katsuragi, who had been watching the show.
"Aren't you going to say anything? It's Class C this time, next time, they might come after you, anyway, they're not afraid of having class points deducted, unlike us."
Hearing this, Kanzaki and Katsuragi's faces changed drastically.
And Kamio Tatsuya felt a surge of disappointment.
What is this?
This is Class A and Class B?
They can't even see through such a simple thing?
Do they need to be reminded?
Wait, are they pretending?
Kamio Tatsuya wondered with some suspicion.
In reality, it wasn't that they hadn't considered this situation. The reason their faces changed so much was because Ryuen had said it out loud.
Because they weren't sure if the Class D students knew about this.
If Yamauchi had really accidentally bumped into Ishizaki and caused the current situation, then it meant that Yamauchi didn't know about this method.
But now Ryuen had directly said it to their faces, so it didn't matter whether Yamauchi had done it on purpose before or not.
Class D had grasped this method and would definitely attack Class A and Class B.
And Class A and Class B couldn't do anything to Class D.
Because if they did, class points would be deducted.
But if they did nothing, they would be constantly harassed by Class D. Just enduring it would only increase the resentment in the students' hearts, and problems would arise sooner or later.
So they were now looking at Ryuen with unfriendly expressions.
As for Ryuen, he wasn't nervous at all. He was doing it on purpose, deliberately dragging Class A and Class B into the water.
Because in this matter, Class C would probably end up with one of two outcomes: either lose class points and have Ishizaki suspended, or be extorted a sum of private points.
Ryuen wasn't willing to bear either of these outcomes alone, so he chose to directly drag Class A and Class B down with him.
Good fortune should be shared, hehehe!
