After going to the school nurse's office, everyone present except Kamio Tatsuya was bandaged up by Hoshinomiya-sensei from Class B, even Hirata.
Although he took down Ishizaki and two others, he wasn't completely unharmed.
On the way to the nurse's office, Sakagami Kazuma directly went to Chabashira Sae and said that Class C wanted to settle things privately.
Chabashira Sae was actually a bit tempted by this, because at this crucial time, it's better to have fewer problems.
"What do you guys think?"
"Settling privately... does that mean they'll pay us personal points?"
"That's right, and this incident is very serious. Even if you ask for 500,000 points each, they'd probably have to give it."
"F-Five hundred thousand?"
Ike and Yamauchi were immediately a little stunned.
To be honest, although they were still in pain, they actually didn't suffer any serious injuries. Their physical injuries weren't even skin-deep, and their bones were all fine.
If they got 500,000 points, it wouldn't be impossible to agree.
"I refuse."
Before Ike and Yamauchi could agree, Kamio Tatsuya gave his answer first.
"This, this isn't your business, is it?"
"How is it not my business?" Kamio Tatsuya retorted, "The letter was originally written to me, which means I was the original target. Just because I didn't suffer any real harm doesn't mean it's not my business, right?
If they aren't punished properly, they'll target me again next time. To avoid that, they need to be punished harshly."
Kamio Tatsuya's words immediately drew angry glares from Ishizaki and the others in Class C.
"See? They haven't learned their lesson at all. If you ask me, we should take this opportunity to get them expelled. Otherwise, they might find a deserted place to beat you up someday."
Kamio Tatsuya gestured towards Ishizaki's group. Yamauchi and Ike shivered when they saw the fierce looks in Ishizaki and the others' eyes.
Seeing this situation, Chabashira Sae knew that a private settlement was probably impossible.
At the same time, Horikita Manabu, who was organizing a study session for Class 3-A, also received notification of the judgment in this matter.
When he saw Kamio Tatsuya's name, he immediately felt that this matter was probably related to him.
After thinking for a moment, Horikita Manabu greeted the students in his class and left the classroom with the student council secretary, Tachibana Akane.
Meanwhile, the two teachers, after exchanging opinions, also decided that no matter what the real situation was, they had to resolve the matter today.
Soon after, a large group of people walked toward the student council office.
Because the two teachers were present, and making any small moves now could easily be detrimental to what would happen next, everyone present was especially well-behaved.
Soon, they arrived outside an office. Kamio Tatsuya had been here once before, when he beat up Yamauchi.
Chabashira-sensei knocked on the door of the student council office, then walked in. Following her, Sakagami-sensei and the other students also entered the student council office.
Upon entering the office, Kamio Tatsuya noticed that the student council president, Horikita Manabu, and the student council secretary, Tachibana Akane, were sitting in the main seats, looking like they had been waiting for a while.
"Regarding the violent incident that occurred at school today, we will now begin an interactive exchange between the student council, those involved in the incident, and the homeroom teachers. I, student council secretary Tachibana, will be in charge of conducting the meeting."
After saying this, she gave a simple nod to signal that they could begin.
"If that's the case, let's start by understanding the truth."
Since it was just before the midterm exams, Horikita Manabu also wanted to finish quickly.
"Which side will go first?"
As soon as Horikita Manabu finished speaking, Chabashira Sae raised her hand to signal that she had something to say.
"Please speak, Chabashira-sensei."
"Based on my previous inquiries, this is how things happened..."
Then, Chabashira-sensei began to explain the beginning and end of the incident.
It wasn't that complicated. First, Kamio Tatsuya received a love letter today, which said to meet Kamio Tatsuya at the special teaching building after school.
Then Ike and Yamauchi suspected that it wasn't really a love letter written to Kamio Tatsuya.
So, while Kamio Tatsuya was away from his seat, they stole the love letter Kamio Tatsuya had received and opened it to look at it themselves.
After confirming that the love letter was indeed written to Kamio Tatsuya, the two wanted to ruin the meeting, so they arrived at the special teaching building before Kamio Tatsuya.
However, instead of Shiina, the named sender of the love letter, they were met by Ishizaki and two others from Class C.
Then, Ishizaki, holding a grudge from before, beat up Yamauchi. Ike tried to run away, but he was also beaten up by the other two guys.
During this time, someone sent an anonymous message to Hirata, saying that Ike and Yamauchi from Class D were being beaten up by people from Class C.
So Hirata went to the special teaching building. To protect Ike and Yamauchi, who were being attacked, Hirata fought with the three from Class C.
While they were fighting, Ike took out his phone and notified Chabashira-sensei.
After that, Kamio Tatsuya, who was delayed because he couldn't find the love letter, and Chabashira-sensei, who received his call for help, arrived one after the other.
As for Sakagami-sensei, Chabashira-sensei notified him on the way.
"So, what about that key love letter?"
As expected of the student council president, he immediately found the key point of the problem.
"It's, it's here."
Yamauchi took out the slightly wrinkled love letter from his pocket.
Seeing this letter, the faces of the people from Class C camp suddenly darkened. This was a bad sign.
After that, Tachibana Akane took the love letter and presented it to Horikita Manabu as evidence.
After confirming its contents, Horikita Manabu signaled Tachibana Akane to give it to Kamio Tatsuya to confirm.
"Is this the letter you received?"
Kamio Tatsuya picked up the envelope, confirmed it, and nodded.
"The contents are the same."
"In that case, it seems necessary to summon this student named Shiina," Horikita Manabu made his first decision. "Would Sakagami-sensei be so kind as to call Shiina over?"
"No need!" At this moment, Ishizaki suddenly raised his hand to interrupt, "I forged that letter. It has nothing to do with Shiina."
Hearing this, Kamio Tatsuya narrowed his eyes. Was this guy planning to take all the blame himself?
Was Ryuen planning to sacrifice a pawn to protect his pieces?
"Why would you do that?"
When asked this question, Ishizaki gave Kamio Tatsuya a resentful look.
"Because, because..." At this point, Ishizaki began to stammer, "Because I... li... like Shiina, but Shiina is getting very close to that guy, so I wanted to warn him to stay away from Shiina."
Heh, a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Could Shiina ever like you?
Horikita Manabu, sitting in the main seat, was also speechless after hearing Ishizaki's confession. What was this all about? Were they elementary school students?
As for why Ishizaki attacked Yamauchi, he also understood it from what had been said earlier.
Because Yamauchi tried to get ten thousand points from him.
In this way, there was only one point of the matter left, and that was the person who sent the anonymous message to Hirata.
Horikita Manabu glanced at Kamio Tatsuya. This matter seemed unrelated to him, but in reality, he couldn't escape from being involved in every step of it.
Forget it, now was not the time to think about these things.
The rest of the story was simple. Hirata received an anonymous message, and then, to protect his classmates, he ran from the classroom to the special teaching building and fought with Ishizaki and the others.
Many people could testify to this.
After understanding the truth, Horikita Manabu also announced his verdict on the matter.
"First, Yamauchi and Ike committed theft. They are suspended for five days from today, and each must submit a 5,000-word report."
Faced with this verdict, Ike and Yamauchi opened their mouths, wanting to argue, but they couldn't come up with any useful excuses, and in the end, they could only accept the verdict with their heads hanging low.
"The three from Class C deliberately stirred up trouble. They are suspended for one week from today, must submit a 10,000-word report, and Class C will have 200 class points deducted.
Hirata from Class D, although he participated in the fight, did so to protect his classmates, so he will not be punished.
That's all."
That's it?
Such a terrible thing only resulted in a suspension?
He thought that someone would be expelled directly, but he didn't expect such a gentle punishment.
Heh, the school rules of this school are actually so loose.
Interesting.
