Chapter 13: It's Just A Trivial Matter / The Student Council / Invitation

Even if there was no response to his questions, this much had been enough for him to gradually come to understand the truth.

Ying Ye Zhenshi probed further.

"It's fine if there is no reward. But what about the two senpais? Will their entire class be punished, or will they be punished personally? And I want them to apologise. It's too much for them to humiliate a class of students collectively like this. They humiliate us by calling us names when they don't even know anything about us. It's best to receive compensation too- points compensation obviously. It is still a crime to insult others according to the law. If this school will allow such behaviour, then I will block their classroom entrance and scold them from tomorrow onwards. That should do it."

He wasn't worried at all about his own behaviour earlier that day in the second-year class D classroom, but his behaviour back then was similar to that of the seniors from the convenience store, so he would be punished in the same way.

So long as the situation with regards to their punishment could be determined, he wouldn't bother with being concerned about any punishment coming his way.

And it didn't appear as though he would receive a big punishment anyway, otherwise, the second years wouldn't have decided to mess around like they did under surveillance.

The volley of questions made the beautiful female secretary beside them feel a little dizzy, and she looked at the student council president worriedly.

"Of course, you are not allowed to swear. Since you have asked for this matter to be dealt with in such a way, I will contact those students about this matter later to discuss it. As long as they admit to the mistake, an apology is confirmed. As for receiving a points compensation, that is not necessarily the case. They have not explicitly attacked you, if you know what I mean?"

Horikita explained.

He didn't think any point compensation was necessary despite Ying Ye Zhenshi's insistence.

"Is that so? That's a real pity."

So for swearing a lot, there was no punishment at all, and the most one would get from reporting it would be an apology.

The class points may be deducted, but Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't care about his class points.

Honesty, he couldn't care less about the class points.

"I was worried about what punishment I would receive."

Ying Ye Zhenshi muttered aloud, making Horikita Manabu and the other individual in the room a little dumbfounded.

'He's worried about being punished?'

How could they have known that Ying Ye Zhenshi had already run his mouth off at the second-year students today?

But Horikita didn't intend to ask any more questions, for fear of inciting this kouhai of his, who would come back and hit him with several questions after only one sentence from him.

"If you have no objections, then I will carry it out like this later. As long as what they did is admitted to and they have no objections, I will ask them to apologise to you. And if any other students in your class also wish for it, I will have them apologise to them too. They can go to your class to apologise if you want."

Horikita proposed this in a just manner.

Of course, that was only in the case that there were no objections from the sophomores.

If there was an objection, then a public trial would take place.

"I have no objections. Have them apologise to me and let them know that I reported them."

Ying Ye Zhenshi accepted his proposal straightforwardly.

"..."

Horikita looked at Ying Ye Zhenshi and really wanted to ask him a question.

'Are you really not afraid that they will retaliate against you?'

"As for your classmate…"

Horikita continued.

In fact, the school's punishment, based on the school's rules, could not be carried out without an announcement.

"As for my red-haired classmate, if you want to make the announcement senpai, then feel free to do so. It's fine if you don't bother about it. I don't bother to worry over things that do not benefit me."

Ying Ye Zhenshi spoke frankly.

He had already lost interest in his red-haired classmate.

"Well then, thank you kouhai for reporting this matter. I will personally reward you with 10,000 private points. As for making an announcement, we will not make it."

Horikita took advantage of the situation and played down the entire ordeal.

He had no desire to make an announcement and unintentionally leak the school's ongoing first exam.

If the announcement was to happen, more people would pay attention to their behaviour.

So it cost him nothing to give a little reward to the first-year student casually.

"Then, thanks for the help student council president-San."

Accepting someone's offer shouldn't make one a bastard.

Although 10,000 points didn't seem like much, Ying Ye Zhenshi was not polite and accepted the points offered.

"I don't have any more problems to discuss, so thank you senpai for your guidance. If given the chance, I will pay a visit to you again."

Now that his objectives had been met, Ying Ye Zhenshi planned to leave.

It was getting quite late, and it was about time he enjoyed his lunch.

"Well then, why don't you leave us with a way to contact you, and we will notify you of the final result of your report? Secretary Tachibana, please note it down."

Horikita proposed while asking the cute senpai stood beside him to record Ying Ye Zhenshi's mobile phone number.

"Okay, then I will eagerly wait for the news from Prez."

After leaving his number, Ying Ye Zhenshi waved and planned to leave.

Before leaving though, Horikita asked him a question.

"I wonder if you have any plans to join the student council?"

"Student council? Are there any benefits in doing so?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi was not all that interested in the student council, but if there were benefits, and the responsibilities were not strict, he could abuse his position of authority, which made him a little interested.
