Chapter 72.2

Hearing these words, Sudou panicked.

He wanted to explain himself so badly.

However, watching the video, it was clear to everyone that he was the one who had rushed up to attack Ying Ye.

It was just that his attack was thwarted and he ended up the one beat up.

Putting everything else aside, it seemed that he felt a little powerless now.

Especially when he heard the words that he was not allowed to be a part of clubs.

It made his breathing quicken.

There was also a compensation of 100,000 points required.

Where on Earth could he find so many points?

'Asshole! Asshole!!'

This angry look on his face made Nagumo shake his head in disappointment.

"President, I have something I want to say. It seems that the one who was hit to the ground was actually this student Sudou Ken."

Although he didn't like the aggressive boy, he still wanted to make trouble for the younger menace.

Things he didn't like about Sudou could be dealt with later.

"Yes, that's right. He hit me. Me!"

Sudou Ken looked at the screen, a little speechless.

'Idiot. In this situation, you have to pretend to have been hurt, and sell your side of the story as miserably as you can. Say that you have been hurt and nearly died, and then use some trickery to grab my private points for no reason. Anyway, it's not like you are not really injured. In such a situation, maybe the compensation points I receive can be reduced, and even a little 'medical expenses' might have been able to be obtained if you handled it well.'

Ying Ye Zhenshi complained in his head while watching the show.

"Do you have anything to say, kouhai Ying Ye?"

Seeing the one being asked sitting speechlessly, Horikita questioned him.

"The video evidence is quite clear. I didn't want to fight in the first place while I was sitting in class, I just had no choice but to fight back. And when he fell to the ground and I was asked to stop by my classmates, I stopped immediately. But that guy still kept yelling to fight. I can't help Nagumo Senpai's selective blindness. I'm just hoping not everyone here is blind. And the video also has sound, so isn't it obvious that he is the one who was angry and started the fight at that time? I seriously suspect that he has violent tendencies. I feel very scared about being in the same class as him."

Ying Ye Zhenshi spread his hands and dumbed down his words as if explaining to idiots.

"If he didn't act up like that, then I wouldn't have done anything in the first place."

"I didn't! Don't be tricked by him. He is the one who is to blame president!"

Sudou said loudly, his words being screamed at the top of his lungs.

It was a really ugly sight for someone already this age.

"Chabashira-sensei, save me!"

Ying Ye Zhenshi watched him struggling.

Akane Tachibana, who was recording the minutes from beside Manabu, stared at Sudou with a slight frown.

The expression on her cute little face had become a bit uneven.

She found him to be way too rambunctious.

"Chabashira-sensei, what do you say? They are both your students at the end of the day."

Horikita Manabu was expressionless, looking at Sae Chabashira with a businesslike look.

"Chabashira-sensei, you have to be fair when you judge the situation!"

Sudo looked at Chabashira Sae and shouted pleadingly.

He hoped that the older woman could speak in his favour.

He had already guessed that she probably hated Ying Ye Zhenshi, otherwise, she wouldn't have kept talking about his shady business in the morning homeroom.

"What do you want me to say, Sudou? I've said it a long time ago already. You will be punished for messing around in this school, and it will be better for you to have lost some of your privileges while at this school than to be expelled directly. Reflect on your own mistakes."

After glancing at Sudou and then at Ying Ye Zhenshi, Chabashira Sae replied with a blank expression.

She had no intention to exonerate Sudou at all as if the matter had already been determined before she had opened her mouth.

"You… I…"

Sudou's eyes widened in disbelief and his lips parted as though he wanted to say something, but he realised he couldn't speak out.

He now had a better understanding of what it meant to find oneself in a corner.

But that was the unjust truth, and there was nothing he could say to refute either of them.

"Sudou-san, do you have anything you want to contest about this situation? And do you have any thoughts on this punishment?"

Horikita looked at Sudou.

"If you have something you wish to say, you can say it freely now. If you miss this opportunity and then mention something later on, it will be too late."

He courteously reminded him of the opportunity.

Even if Horikita went easy on Sudou, he knew the boy had no way of flipping the dire circumstances around.

Even Nagumo sat by the side without saying anything, as he knew he couldn't help this guy.

It seemed that there was nowhere for him to interject.

He had originally wanted to have a good time watching the exciting show, but now it seemed that he would not have the good fortune to do so.

And Sudou Ken sat on a chair in the student council conference room, feeling a little helpless inside.

Looking at everyone sitting around him looking right at him, either with a blank expression on their faces or a sneer, he couldn't help but feel powerless.

He felt like he was being bullied by everyone.

His whole being could no longer exude the violent temper he had before.

It was as though he had been played around with, and he just had no intention of refuting them anymore.

"No, I can apologise and pay the compensation points, but it is absolutely impossible to have me quit the basketball club on my own. If you feel that there is something wrong with my personality, I will just fix it. But this is a matter between me and the basketball club, so you shouldn't interfere."

Sudou took a deep breath and said with a dark look.

"Oh, huh."

Ying Ye Zhenshi was quite surprised.

'That's interesting. Guys do have to suffer to grow up. Just like Sudou. I don't know how many losses he has suffered, but he seems to have developed well into whatever this is.'

"Well, do you have any objections, Ying Ye Zhenshi?"

Horikita looked at Ying Ye Zhenshi.

"Of course. I don't think it's that easy to change one's own personality. For example, when most criminals are caught, they immediately cry and say that they have made a mistake, and say that they will change themselves for the better. But it's no secret that they just feel bad to have been caught, and nothing else. Since it's only a school club, it'll be important to teach him a lesson by having him kicked."
