Chapter 73 Continuous Development

The Next Day

At the morning class meeting the next day, Chabashira Sae explained everything that happened yesterday.

"As I mentioned yesterday, due to a dispute, the private points for first-year students will be delayed. Now, let me tell you the whole story."

It seemed as if she was trying to shift all the blame and resentment onto Fang Li, as she used a tone that seemed to incite the students' dissatisfaction.

"A few days ago, there was a dispute on campus. Our classmate Nanaya from class D had a conflict with a students from class C, which eventually escalated into a violent incident. As a result, the school has decided to delay the distribution of private points until the situation is resolved. After all, the outcome of this incident can lead to a deduction in the class points for both classes, and the private points awarded will correspondingly decrease. Therefore, we can only delay the distribution until the results come out."

Chabashira Sae's announcement stunned the entire class D.

Immediately, there was a clamor of noise.

"Hey, is that true?"

"Our classmate Nanaya?"

"Violent incident...?"

"That guy Nanaya, he actually got into a fight?"

The classmates in the class were clamoring and their gazes were all fixed on Fang Li, who was sitting in the last row.

Even Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyou, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka were surprised and looked at Fang Li in amazement.

Obviously, these three people did not believe that Fang Li would have a conflict with students from another class, which eventually escalated into a violent incident.

Only Sakura Airi, upon hearing Chabashira Sae's announcement, her shoulders shook slightly, then she lowered her head, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Fang Li endured the gazes of everyone in the class, but showed no reaction. He continued to read his detective novel as if he were not the person involved at all. His expression was unnaturally calm.

In this situation, the central figure in the class, Hirata Yousuke, was the first to speak up.

"Is this true, Chabashira-sensei?" Hirata Yousuke raised his hand and spoke up, "I don't believe that Nanaya-san has any violent tendencies. Even though I haven't interacted with him much, he has always been quiet in class and doesn't seem like that type of person."

Hirata Yousuke's words resonated with the rest of the class.

However, it was understandable why Fang Li wasn't popular in class. He had a strong sense of solitude that kept others away.

Because of this strong impression, none of the students could imagine that Fang Li had any violent tendencies.

Even Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki were saying the same thing.

"Could Nanaya really get into a fight with someone else?"

"If it were Sudou, then that wouldn't be surprising at all."

Their words immediately drew angry glares from Sudou Ken.

"What do you mean? You bastards!"

Sudou Ken's violent outburst confirmed Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki's suspicions.

Perhaps if Sudou Ken were the one involved in this incident, the class's reaction would be different.

This is the impact of behavior and actions on a daily basis.

Chabashira Sae maintained a neutral stance and only provided information.

"The accusations were made by three victims from Class C. According to their statements, they were beaten up unprovoked. However, when I asked Nanaya about the incident, he denied it. Therefore, the school is currently holding a reserved opinion. Until the truth is revealed, first-year private points will be delayed."

As Chabashira Sae spoke, she dropped another bombshell.

"By the way, according to the people in Class C, Nanaya attacked them because they were trying to get close to Kushida through him. Nanaya and Kushida are very close, but it seems like he doesn't want anyone else to be close with Kushida, and that's why he resorted to violence."

The entire class was shocked by this revelation.

The cause of this incident is jealousy?

"What...what do you mean?" Kushida Kikyou was surprised to find herself at the center of this situation and her eyes widened in shock.

Only Horikita Suzune and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had the most decisive voice in the entire class.

"impossible!"

"completely impossible!"

The two people made such a positive judgment.

At least, the two couldn't imagine Fang Li being jealous.

However, Chabashira Sae paid no attention to their comments.

"In any case, the school has decided to make the final judgement next Tuesday. Until then, both parties must find evidence to support themselves, or face the possibility of punishment. If you don't want to lose any class points, then work together like you did during the midterms."

Chabashira Sae announced the end of the meeting and left the classroom without looking back.

The students' attention turned towards Fang Li again.

"This is bad, isn't it?" Ike Kanji was the first to speak up. "If we lose points because of this incident, we'll have to rely on zero points stuff again this month."

The entire classroom began to buzz with chatter and as a result, Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could not insert themselves into the conversation. They watched quietly as things unfolded.

Hirata Yousuke walked over to Fang Li. "Nanaya-san, can you tell us your side of the story? Let's work together to find a solution."

Hirata Yousuke's kind words were met with Fang Li's gaze fixed on his book. "I didn't do anything that Chabashira-sensei accused me of," he said.

But his words were met with doubt from Yamauchi Haruki.

"Is that really true?" Yamauchi Haruki asked, his skepticism apparent. "You didn't beat up the students of class C because of your relationship with Kushida-chan?"

Yamauchi Haruki's doubt was not unfounded. He and Ike Kanji had been eyeing Fang Li and Kushida Kikyou with suspicion.

If they were in Fang Li's position, they might have resorted to violence as well.

Of course, it was Kushida Kikyou who stood up at this time.

"Can you listen to me?"

Kushida Kikyou raised her hand and attracted everyone's attention to her.
