Chapter 73.1: Apologising In Front Of The Whole Class / Broken Friendship

Because of Horikita Manabu's earlier judgment, Sudou couldn't help but feel happy about the outcome, so he didn't bother to fall to the provocations of the bastard Ying Ye Zhenshi.

But if he knew what Sudou was thinking, Ying Ye Zhenshi would probably have laughed out loud at him and asked him if he was mentally fine.

Anyway, after having asked such a question, Sudou Ken felt that he finally had the upper hand.

"He sold out the class. Can you tell me about the specific details?"

Horikita naturally knew what he was talking about, but he still asked.

And Sudou told him about the situation honestly.

How a trade had been made with the other classes and that Ying Ye had managed to save eighteen million points or something like that.

And then he said his actions had caused their class D to score 0 class points.

"Chabashira-sensei, what do you make of it?"

Listening to the short-tempered junior's words words, Horikita looked at Sae Chabashira.

But this move put an ugly look on Sudou's face.

"How can that be anything to faff about? It's just a case of my students messing around a little."

Chabashira Sae shook her head very calmly.

"That's bullshit. Isn't it obvious that he's the problem? And you said it yourself too."

Sudou retorted.

Looking at Ying Ye Zhenshi, Sudou noticed he was just smiling as he said nothing as if he was watching a joke playing out.

"What did I say? You must be an idiot to think about suing him right now. What about the evidence? Do you have any? Or am I correct in assuming you don't have any?"

Chabashira Sae stared at him with a blank expression on her face while dropping truth bombs, and her questioning eyes made Sudou feel like she had taken him for a fool.

"I-I-…"

And with Sudou Ken's small brain, he really couldn't think of anything to respond.

"But he obviously has."

In his view, that was just the way things were.

"So, Sudou-san has no evidence of this claim at all? Do you want to expose something that he did? His actions caused your class points to drop to 0, you say? Or is it that he sold out the class for his own interests?"

Horikita asked questions to clarify Sudou's accusations.

"This, I..."

Sudou Ken opened his mouth, but he couldn't muster up anything to say.

"Student Council Prez, look, he's already thinking about getting revenge on me even before he had left the student council room, and you still think his temper will get better?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi next to him added fuel to the fire.

"And the matter about me betraying the class is pure slander. I just sold the information I had investigated. As for the 0 points the class has, that has nothing to do with me."

"You just admitted it! President senpai, see...!"

Sudo was very angry when he heard Ying Ye Zhenshi's words.

But hearing the last few lines, his whole being jumped up as he called for the older boy's attention excitedly.

"Kouhai Ying Ye, would it be convenient for you to explain what you're talking about?"

Horikita raised his glasses up the bridge of his nose and asked.

"There's nothing holding me back from admitting to what I mentioned just now. Even if there is a problem with my transaction, and even if you say I cheated the class somehow, it is the other classes who have been cheated actually. And it has nothing to do with you anyway, Sudou. As I expected, my information about the school's points system and assessment plan, and the resultant situation of my classmates was very accurate, and it is no surprise that Class D has fallen to 0 points. Was any of this in violation of the school's rules?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi smiled.

It made Sudou Ken feel like hitting someone.

"In addition, if you investigate this matter carefully, you would probably find that the student who caused the most point deductions in our class is Sudou. Why don't you tell me properly, how exactly did I betray the class?"

He spread his hands and stretched them out towards Sudou, as if in a plea for the boy to start his 'wonderful performance'.

"You bastard! How could you say that I betrayed the class, I..."

Sudou Ken looked at Sae Chabashita next to him and wanted her to say something.

It was only a pity that Chabashira Sae just sighed a little while holding her forehead, obviously speechless at how the situation had devolved so quickly.

This made Sudou feel even more desperate.

"Don't think about it too hard, Sudou-san. You are violent and very vengeful, but you just don't admit that's how you behave. You only have yourself in your eyes, and you don't care about others at all."

Ying Ye Zhenshi said with a smile.

This made Sudou Ken feel very disgusted as he felt that everyone else in the world could say such a thing before Ying Ye Zhenshi could.

"If this is the case, the student council will not be able to accept the accusation. If it is indeed what Ying Ye said, it does not violate the school rules. He was just making a deal with the other classes."

Horikita detailed to supplement Ying Ye from the side.

"The school essentially doesn't manage students' transactions and deals. As long as it doesn't violate the rules, and as long as both parties reach a consensus, a deal will be established and will not be chased up by the school. If Sudou-san needs to make deals with students from other classes, this is a freedom the school gives you. As for class points, every student is responsible for class points being lost, and the school will not impose additional penalties for differences within the class."

Horikita Manabu's words were like the sharpening of a knife, causing Sudou to despair.

'Does the student council really not care about this sort of thing?? What is up with this school? Obviously, this guy in front of me is such a disgusting swine, so why does no one stop him from acting like this?'

"As for the points, if you don't have any points, you will have to pay in instalments, Sudou. In the future, as long as any points are meant to you, they will be transferred directly to Ying Ye Zhenshi immediately until the 100,000 points have been repaid. After one month, an interest of 1,000 points will be added to the amount. Do you have any questions about this?"

Horikita continued to explain.

In turn, this made Sudo Ken feel hopeless.

In the future, he would really have no money for himself.

And it was even going to a person who he hated, and who he would have to pay interest too, most likely.

But he didn't dare to resist.
