Chapter 75 Things Within One's Capacity

Not long after, it was time for school to be over.

Class D seemed to be having a lively discussion about the violent incident announced in the morning.

Even though Fang Li said that no one needed to worry about it, since it involved class points and private points, the students in the class couldn't calm down.

And even though everyone was anxious about it, Fang Li, as the person involved, was still doing things as usual, not showing any concern. This really made many people frustrated.

But it wasn't their fault.

In fact, these students in the class were the truly innocent ones.

Because of Fang Li and Ryuuen Kakeru's game, the entire Class C and D were involved, and even Class A and B had their private points delayed. All four classes of first grade were affected.

This also showed how seriously the school took the violent incident, or perhaps how seriously any competition among students was taken, to cause such a situation.

From this perspective, the students in the class were only implicated, and it was no wonder that everyone was dissatisfied.

During this time, both Hirata Yousuke and Kushida Kikyou consulted Fang Li more than once, but all they got was Fang Li's usual response.

"In any case, don't worry about it."

That was all Fang Li said.

This made Hirata Yousuke and Kushida Kikyou quite helpless.

Especially Kushida Kikyou, who never thought that she would become the cause of this violent incident. She felt guilty and kept apologizing to Fang Li.

But in this incident, Kushida Kikyou didn't do anything wrong, so Fang Li naturally couldn't accept her apology.

In the end, it seemed that the entire class D couldn't just stand by and watch. They attempted to gather some information by asking students from other classes if they had witnessed anything.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times they asked, the information they received was limited. They could only confirm that some students had seen Fang Li and three students from class C entering the special teaching building.

Apart from that, there was no other useful information.

Even Kushida Kikyou personally went to class C to gather information, but the students there thought that they were the true victims and didn't provide any information.

In fact, they accused class D of being deceived by Fang Li.

In this situation, what could they do?

Class D was trapped in a dilemma.

Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked at the situation clearly but did not intervene.

"The violent incident this time is serious, but at the same time, it's not that serious. The problem is only about who will bear the responsibility in the end. However, if it's just a fight, both sides will definitely be punished. I don't think there will be any new developments," Horikita Suzune said calmly, giving her analysis.

Basically, What Horikita Suzune said was not wrong.

In general, it is difficult to determine who the aggressor and victim are in a fight.

Even if someone witnessed the fight, unless they are related to one of the parties involved, they will see both sides as problematic.

Moreover, even if one party is at fault, it is difficult to determine who is right or wrong after the fight.

Even if there are eyewitnesses, their testimony may be biased towards one party.

Therefore, campus violence may seem like a casual topic for small talk, but it is actually a difficult problem to solve.

Unlike murder, where the law clearly states who should bear all the responsibility and punishment, this kind of incident is the most difficult to sort out.

Horikita Suzune wasn't very optimistic about the development of this incident.

As for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, he was even more straightforward.

"Anyway, Nanaya definitely has some ideas, right?"

Therefore, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka adhered to his long-standing seclusionism and placed himself outside of the event.

From this perspective, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Kouenji Rokusuke are actually similar people, neither of them would intervene in the collective interest without reason.

Of course, Fang Li isn't any better.

But Fang Li didn't take any obvious action about this.

When the students in the class were worried about this, Fang Li just picked up his schoolbag and left the classroom after school.

As Fang Li was on his way to return to his dorm, someone stopped him.

"It seems like you've gotten yourself into trouble, Nanaya-san,"

Said the person who had chased after him from the school building. It was Ichinose Honami.

"I heard from Hoshinomiya-sensei that you were involved in a violent incident, right?"

Ichinose Honami continued, speaking her mind as always.

Fang Li couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Involved... me?" he chuckled as he continued moving forward. "From what you're saying, it sounds like you're pretty sure I'm not the perpetrator."

"Yeah," Ichinose Honami caught up to him, carrying her backpack as she walked beside him. "Because I don't think Nanaya-san would resort to violence."

That's a gross misunderstanding, Ichinose.

If hurting others is considered violence, then I learned violence when I was only four years old.

Plus, Ichinose Honami probably didn't just believe Fang Li was innocent because he didn't seem like someone who would resort to violence, right?

The main reason was that other side involved in the incident were from Class C, and in Class C, there was Ryuuen Kakeru, who Ichinose Honami believed was extremely dangerous and ruthless.

It was this fact that made her think that Fang Li was the one who got dragged into the situation.

So, while Ichinose Honami was honest, she also had her own thoughts.

Being honest is not enough to be a leader of Class B.

Ichinose Honami, who did not know the thoughts in Fang Li's mind, continue to speak.

Ichinose Honami asked if Fang Li needed any help. "If you need any help, I'm willing to do what I can,"

This sentence, Ichinose Honami said extremely sincerely.

In this regard, Fang Li only smiled back.

"Are you looking to team up with me against Ryuuen?"

This is the only reason that Fang Li can think of.

For Class B, Class C, which had been biting at their heels, was a big threat.

Ichinose Honami wanted to help Fang Li, and he guessed that it was to defeat the conspiracy of Class C and strike back at them.

Ichinose Honami didn't deny that she had that idea.

"I really don't want to see Class C's plot succeed. And I've been vigilant about Ryuuen. But I also genuinely want to help you, Nanaya-san,"

Ichinose Honami sighed.

"These kinds of incidents could happen to anyone, and because this school fosters competition between classes, there's always a risk of conflict. This time it's just a representative example. If the side that lies wins, it'll be a big problem."

Ichinose Honami suddenly smiled again.

"And, personally speaking, now that I know about this, I can't just ignore it."

This is the reason Ichinose Honami gave.
