Chapter 70 The Twisted Causes and Consequences

In the teacher's office, a slight silence began to emerge.

Chabashira Sae seemed to think she had given sufficient explanation and remained silent, waiting quietly for Fang Li's response.

Meanwhile, Hoshinomiya Chie stood by the side, no longer as boisterous as before. Instead, she appeared to be observing Fang Li's reaction with curiosity written all over her face.

In this situation, Fang Li closed his eyes briefly and then slowly opened them.

His expression remained as calm as ever.

"It seems that you have a good understanding of the situation," Chabashira Sae said fittingly. "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask now."

As always, this teacher would never actively explain, only passively accept questions.

Fang Li didn't mind.

"So, let me ask a question first." Fang Li asked at his own pace, "The cause of this incident was that three students from class C accused me of using violence against them, right?"

"That's right," Chabashira Sae answered straightforwardly. "According to the school's judgment, this matter needs to be taken seriously. If you admit to it now, the punishment will be reduced. If you don't want to admit it, you may ultimately be suspended."

That was a serious punishment.

Although it was not expulsion but even if suspension, given the school's special circumstances, it was likely that Fang Li's evaluation during the suspension would also be factored into the S system and result in corresponding deductions.

At that time, Fang Li would cause the entire class D's class points to be deducted, becoming the enemy of the whole class.

But...

"That's a false accusation." Fang Li looked at Chabashira Sae and said, "What if I say that?"

At the words, Chabashira Sae's expression didn't change in the slightest.

"If you insist that it's a false accusation, then you have to provide evidence to prove it."

Chabashira Sae threw out this sentence.

But the sentence itself was problematic.

"I have to provide evidence?" Fang Li said, "Why isn't the other party providing evidence that I used violence against them?"

That was right.

Since the other party had made accusations to the school, it was not reasonable for Fang Li to provide evidence that he hadn't done it. Instead, the other party should provide evidence that he had done it, just like someone who took another person to court for embezzlement would need to provide evidence of the other person's embezzlement.

If there was no evidence of the accused's embezzlement, the court would only render a verdict of insufficient evidence and release the accused on the spot.

As the defendant, it was a bit out of order for Fang Li to have to find evidence that he hadn't used violence against others himself.

Unless...

"The other party has evidence that I used violence against them, right?"

Fang Li made this judgment calmly.

And the answer was yes.

"It's not exactly evidence, it can only be said to be proof that they were subjected to violence," Chabashira Sae glanced at Fang Li and said, "The three people, Ishizaki, Komiya, and Kondou, who made the accusations to the school, were all seriously injured."

This statement made Fang Li squint his eyes.

Seriously injured?

That was simply impossible.

Yesterday, Fang Li had deliberately chosen a method that would not leave any obvious injuries when he knocked down those three people. How could they still have been seriously injured?

But Chabashira Sae ignored Fang Li's thoughts and continued with the explanation.

"According to the school doctor's diagnosis, those three individuals suffered different degrees of bruises and swelling, with one of them experiencing temporary bone fractures, membrane bleeding, and damage to the ligaments and bones. The injuries were severe. "

It was precisely because of their serious injuries that the school had to accept their accusations, right?

"Most importantly, after conducting a preliminary investigation, the school found that some students had witnessed you and the three individuals from class C entering the special education building together." Chabashira Sae looked directly at Fang Li and said, "Unfortunately, there is an area in the special education building without a surveillance camera, so it is impossible to know the truth of the matter. Therefore, you are now under serious suspicion of having committed a violent incident."

Isn't this understandable?

One party is completely unharmed, while the other party is all injured to varying degrees.

Additionally, the fact that both parties were seen entering an area without a surveillance camera, and the injured party reported it to the school, it is reasonable to suspect that Fang Li was involved.

"What's the reason?" Fang Li asked calmly, "What was my reason for using violence against them?"

Yesterday, Fang Li only went to meet them at Ryuuen Kakeru's invitation.

But if this matter has escalated to an event, then a motive is required.

Why did Fang Li resort to violence against the three individuals from class C?

"I have had no contact with those three people to this day, so why would I resort to violence against them?"

Here Fang Li's tone became intriguing.

"I suppose the other party has already given their reason?" Fang Li didn't believe that they hadn't prepared enough arguments for such a staged situation.

As expected, the explanation was completely prepared, but it was not given by Chabashira Sae, but by Hoshinomiya Chie.

"Isn't Kushida very popular in your class? I heard many boys like her." Hoshinomiya Chie smiled interestedly, "According to them, they just wanted to make friends with Kushida, but Nanaya-kun has been getting closer to her lately. So, they wanted you to introduce them to her. Who knew that right after they asked, you resorted to violence against them?"

In other words, those three individuals from class C came up with this reason because Fang Li and Kushida Kikyou were close and they also shared an interest in her.

Fang Li resorted to violence against the three individuals in order to assert his dominance, warning them to stay away from Kushida Kikyou, and defend her from other men.

The cause of this incident was jealousy.

"It's amazing that they can come up with such a reason." Fang Li didn't seem angry at being falsely accused, but rather smiled wryly.

Watching Fang Li's reaction, Chabashira Sae said nothing, but Hoshinomiya Chie became somewhat emotional and said, "I knew that if it were Nanaya-kun, many girls would like him. Isn't this just another event he's been drawn into?"

This is truly a misunderstanding beyond comprehension.

Not to mention that Fang Li has no interest in Kushida Kikyou, even if he did, he wouldn't beat up a few students just to show off.

The only reason is that it's really beneath his dignity.

But now, the arguments and situation in Class C are leaning towards them.

"It's normal for people to side with the victim's argument when they don't know the truth," rationalized Chabashira Sae.

"So, do you admit to doing this?" asked Chabashira Sae, calmly.

Admit it?

Isn't it obvious?

"Sorry," declared Fang Li calmly.

"I don't admit it."

There is no other way to handle it.
