Chapter 42: Sae Chabashira’s Suspicions

Kei wanted to switch off the recording and ask him something, but hearing someone approaching, Ying Ye Zhenshi collapsed immediately to the ground.

"Ah, it looks like I have broken a bone. Don't worry about me. Just contact the school. Don't touch me. Let's just wait for the doctor to come."

He spoke to himself while looking helpless.

Seeing Karuizawa's worried look, he winked at her to calm her down.

The people from the school happened to arrive quite quickly at the scene.

They arrived after hearing that several of the senior students were downed and had lost consciousness.

And the voices they heard just now were indeed them.

Even if some places were left unmonitored, there were still people who were responsible for the safety of this area at any given time.

"What is going on here? Call the school doctors. Are you guys alright?"

The school did not expect such a thing would happen.

At the start, there were only a few security guards, but after a while, several of the school's staff and faculty arrived, as well as the medical staff who eventually arrived at the scene.

They pulled everyone who didn't need medical treatment away from the scene, so Karuizawa was naturally taken away.

She didn't know how to answer the questions about what had happened just now, so she decided it best to cry and hand over Ying Ye Zhenshi's phone.

As for the statements of those downed seniors, there were naturally people who would handle them appropriately.

"You guys have really got yourself involved in quite something, huh?"

At night, Sae Chabasira rushed to the infirmary when she received the news.

When she arrived, she noticed that Ying Ye Zhenshi was already bandaged and lying on a hospital bed.

Karuizawa was also sitting by the side, and beside them, there were other faculty from the school and the student council standing around.

"Chabashira sensei, you're here."

The people from the school saw that Chabashira had arrived and greeted her.

"What's going on here?"

Chabashira-sensei nodded in greeting.

She addressed the student in school uniform when asking what was happening.

Horikita Manabu looked over at Chabashira before he took out some student council records.

"This is currently what's been gathered. As far as we know, there is evidence that the second-year students had some grievances with your student, so they ambushed him at the spot where Ying Ye usually exercises, and Karuizawa was accidentally involved in the incident too."

"Grievances? What grievances?"

Chabashira sensei asked confusedly.

"Earlier this semester, Ying Ye paid a visit to the second years and offended them. In addition, Ying Ye reported on the second-year students and even insulted the second-year's D students as being defective. The three individuals from the second year who are involved in this case are the ones who were reported by Ying Ye previously. The problem now is that their confessions have some discrepancies. The second-year students are saying that they wanted revenge on Ying Ye, but in the recordings provided by Ying Ye and Karuizawa, it sounds as though they even wanted to attack Karuizawa. "

Horikita spoke concisely.

All the events that had transpired in his short time at school were basically cleared up like that.

It was the first time Horikita had heard about Ying Ye Zhenshi having insulted the students from Class D in the second year previously.

Horikita was a little speechless upon learning of that fact, but then he finally understood what Ying Ye Zhenshi had meant back then.

'Only this boy has the face to make others apologise for something he did too.'

"Second year?"

'Defective products?'

Chabashira Sensei looked profoundly at Ying Ye Zhenshi as if trying to work something out.

"What about those second years involved?"

"They are already awake and in another ward."

Horikita replied.

Matters like this were quite troublesome.

If it was not handled well, it wouldn't be weird if a few students ended up dropping out as a result.

And they were even students from year 2's class A.

Right about now, Nagumo was yelling at them non-stop.

"You can really find trouble wherever you go, kouhai."

After speaking, he looked at Ying Ye Zhenshi who had been silent all this while, as if to ask him why he wasn't expressing his opinion on the matter.

"Don't look at me. Obviously, I was the one being bullied, haah. And Karuizawa-san too. You don't know how much they scared her today."

His body was tightly wrapped with bandages like a mummy, and many wounds that were already on his body had split and bled again.

Now, he felt the pain even while lying down.

How could he care about them in such a state?

When the attention was on him, Ying Ye Zhenshi responded defensively.

"..."

Chabashira sensei didn't know what to say after seeing this scene.

"Well, I've finished with all your questions. When can I take a break?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi commented.

"Well then, Ying Ye-san should take a good rest. We will investigate this matter and give everyone an explanation soon."

The school's staff did not stay long either.

They left after saying a few more things.

"Have a good rest and call me if you have anything more to say."

Horikita Manabu said.

It had been a busy night, so now he almost ran away.

Only Chabashira-sensei remained.

"Was this really an accident?"

After everyone left, she looked at Ying Ye Zhenshi with a deep look in her eyes.

"An accident! It really was an accident. I didn't expect them to trouble me because of that. Even Karuizawa was dragged into the hot water."

Ying Ye Zhenshi replied honestly.

This was most certainly an accident.

"Does sensei not believe us?"

Karuizawa also replied, dissatisfied.

"No, I just want to understand the situation better. If it is really their fault, I will give you an explanation. Then, Karuizawa, if you have nothing else left to do, go back and get some rest. As for Ying Ye, there will be medical staff around to look after him, and I will also keep an eye on him."

Chabashira sensei chased her away.

Although Karuizawa was dissatisfied with having been pushed out…

"I'll see you tomorrow then."

She was persuaded to leave.

"Chabashira sensei, just say what you have to say. I'm going to rest too."

Not long after, there were only Ying Ye Zhenshi and Chabashira Sae left in the infirmary.

"I want you to answer me honestly. How much do you know about this school?"

Chabashira Sae asked.

From what she knew of his usual attitude during class, the boy in question did not act like someone who was keenly aware of how the school worked.

Now, there seemed to be yet another strange boy in her class.
