After some chaos, Class D's discussion went back to the main topic.
"-Sensei, what will happen because of this?"
"The exact conclusion hasn't been reached yet, but if it's confirmed that Sudou hit someone, not only will Sudou himself be suspended, but the class points you all worked so hard to get will also go back to zero."
Then Class D went into another uproar, even louder than before. Some people even thought it would have been better if Sudou had been kicked out during the midterm exams.
"Um... why hasn't a conclusion been reached yet?" Hirata asked.
"The accusation was made by Class C. They said it was a one-sided beating, but Sudou said they started it, that the Class C students called him out and picked a fight with him.
To find out the truth, the school is investigating. It'll probably take a week."
"I didn't do anything wrong! They're just jealous that I'm going to be a regular player, so Komiya and the others deliberately tried to mess with me and made me go to the special building! Besides, I was just acting in self-defense! Self-defense!"
But clearly, the Class D students didn't believe Sudou's claim of self-defense at all. Instead, they gave him cold looks.
"Um, aren't there any security cameras that recorded what happened?"
"Unfortunately, the fight happened in the special building, and there are no cameras there."
The special building again.
Class C suffered a loss there last time...
Now some of the Class D students were catching on.
Could this be revenge from Class C?
But Kamio Tatsuya wasn't thinking about that. He was only concerned about one thing.
"What are the injuries of the Class C victims?"
Hearing that question, Chabashira Sae was a little surprised, not by the question itself, but by who asked it.
Didn't he say he wasn't interested in class competition?
Why is he so concerned about this?
But Kamio Tatsuya's question also made Sudou very unhappy. Shouldn't he be trying to help me get off the hook? Why is he worried about the injuries of those Class C guys?
Has this guy turned traitor?
"Three students from Class C were injured, and their injuries are quite serious. One even has a minor arm fracture."
Wow!
Class D was in an uproar. At first, the students thought it was just a normal fight, but now that they knew the extent of the injuries, they realized how serious it was.
Even Yamauchi and Ike were stunned by Sudou's actions.
"Hey, Sudou, breaking someone's arm is going too far, don't you think?"
"Yeah."
Even his two closest friends said that, let alone the others.
"Maybe this guy should drop out early."
"Yeah, I don't want him to break my arm one day."
"Even after all this, he still claims he did nothing wrong."
The Class D students talked among themselves, and Kamio Tatsuya thought that Ryuen was really ruthless.
To frame Sudou, he actually broke a classmate's arm. That's some serious self-inflicted pain.
I wonder which unlucky person Ryuen picked.
As for whether Sudou himself beat those three people badly, Kamio Tatsuya wouldn't believe it no matter what. If they can't beat Sudou, wouldn't they just run?
Wouldn't they be safe if they ran out of the special building?
And if they ran away, Sudou probably wouldn't chase after them.
As for the class's discussions, Sudou immediately spoke up to defend himself: "I didn't hit them that hard! I just hit them a few times. Who knew they were so fragile?"
"Well, do you have any proof?"
"What proof? How would I have that?"
"In other words, the truth is still unknown. The final decision will be made by the student council in a week. They'll make a fair judgment based on who was in the wrong."
"I'm innocent. I won't accept any verdict other than not guilty." Sudou insisted on his view.
But the students in the class already assumed he was at fault.
Although the Class D students had gotten some private points from other classes, they knew very well that doing that even once was too much. They definitely couldn't keep doing it.
Otherwise, the other three classes would definitely team up against them.
And 40,000 points wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either. But if they didn't get any points for two or three months in a row, it definitely wouldn't be enough to spend.
Actually, the best way to solve this was for Sudou not to admit guilt from the beginning.
Anyway, there are no security cameras in the special building, and with the current situation, it's probably hard to find a witness. So only the people involved know whether he hit anyone.
And the security cameras in other places can only prove that Sudou went to the special building at that time, and it's possible he hit someone.
But as long as he denies hitting anyone, even the school can't declare him guilty.
As for the injuries on the Class C students, they must have just fallen down by accident.
You can't put the blame on me.
If it were Kamio Tatsuya, that's definitely what he would do.
But now that Sudou has admitted to hitting them, no matter how the injuries came about, they'll ultimately be blamed on Sudou.
Kamio Tatsuya hasn't studied law, let alone Japanese law, but he still thinks that Sudou basically has no room to argue.
Because as a result, Sudou hit three Class C students, and the three Class C students were seriously injured, while Sudou is fine.
Even if it was self-defense, you'd still be found guilty of excessive defense.
And if it's really as the Class C students said, that Sudou beat them up on his own, then even if Sudou doesn't drop out, he'll at least be suspended for a month or more.
And now it's about the same time until the final exams, so if Sudou is really suspended for a month... then he can basically announce that he has successfully dropped out.
With his grades, he won't be able to pass the final exams if he doesn't go to class for a month, even with Horikita's tutoring.
Kamio Tatsuya frowned. This is difficult.
Am I going to lose scapegoat because of this?
Ryuen is probably going to laugh to death.
That jerk really gave me a tough problem.
Should I interfere or not?
And this matter is almost certain, unless I find a witness to prove that Sudou and those people were fighting each other. If they were fighting each other, then it wouldn't be too bad if Sudou couldn't control his force in a one-on-three situation.
That way, although he would be punished, it wouldn't be enough to suspend him for a month.
As long as I can keep the suspension time within three weeks, there should still be a way to get through the final exams.
But finding a witness among so many people at school is basically impossible.
Sudou and the Class C people fought a few days ago. If there really was a witness, they probably would have come forward already.
The fact that they haven't come forward basically confirms that they don't want to get involved in this mess.
Should I talk to Ryuen?
That's basically the same as me lowering my head to him?
Even though it's okay for a great man to yield when necessary, it's not a matter of life and death, so I definitely can't lower my head because of this!
No, absolutely not!
At worst, I'll just lose a scapegoat, but I have two more!
