Yukinoshita Haruno walked down from her seat step by step, came to the boy, put her arms in front of her chest, smiled strangely, and tilted her head.
"For example, if you, Hirata-san, have been forced to do something that endangers the class, would you choose to take the initiative to admit your mistakes, explain the reasons, and actively contribute to the class from now on as a remedial measure, or would you remain silent for four months and hide your head until someone finds you out?"
"I……"
Hirata Yosuke was speechless again.
There is no doubt that given his personality, he would choose the former. There is no doubt about that.
But he couldn't say that, because once he said that, it would be tantamount to admitting that he also supported Wu Yi in exposing the evidence of the traitor's crime.
At this time, Wu Yi, who was sitting on the podium, spoke up: "Of course, you can also blame me and say that I didn't give the traitor any chance from the beginning, which led to the latter situation. But don't forget that I made the decision after the announcement of this additional assessment. What was he doing in the three months before that? Did he take the initiative to stand up and admit his fault?"
"Betraying one's own class is already a very shameful thing to do, but instead of taking any remedial measures, he even expressed his loyalty to Class D in exchange for protection..."
At this point Wu Yi sneered disdainfully. In the corner, Hideo Tomura, who heard the second half of the sentence, turned pale and broke out in cold sweat, and spread his hands in the face of despair.
"Then it's a pity. Since he doesn't want to be decent himself, I can only help him to be decent."
"Listen carefully, the person who betrayed the class in Paper shuffle is - Sotomura Hideo."
Volume 276: Chapter It's time for judgment
Outer village?
Who is this foreign village?
As soon as this name was uttered, nearly half of the people in the classroom showed a confused look.
No wonder, Hideo Sotomura has always played the role of an invisible person in the class. His grades are poor and he has no special skills, let alone an outstanding appearance.
In addition, he has a nerdy personality and hardly interacts with other people in class, so it can be said that there is almost no one in the entire class who is familiar with him.
If we have to say something, it might be that Yamauchi and Ike Kanji, who were expelled from school last summer, had some connection with him.
But that is old news.
"Wait, why is it from another village?"
Since Ken Sudo was also one of the three idiots in the past, he was acquainted with Hideo Sotomura, who had some interactions with Kanji Ike and Yamauchi. When he heard the name of his former friend's friend, he immediately stood up.
"This... could there be something wrong? Waimura wouldn't do something like this, right?"
"probably not?"
Wu Yi clicked his tongue.
"Don't be silly. We are discussing the objective fact of whether he did it or not, not the hypothetical question of whether he should have done it or not. If you think he didn't do it, you can ask him now. Anyway, I didn't seal his mouth with tape."
"This……"
After a brief pause, Sudo turned his head and looked at Sotomura Hideo, whose back was already covered in sweat, and gave him a questioning look.
"I, I'm..."
Sotomura Hideo hesitated and looked confused.
As an otaku, although he often speaks in a strange way, to be precise, he is just a pseudo-social big shot who just looks unrestrained and uninhibited.
If he were really dragged to a class party in a large KTV box, he would probably just sit in the corner of the sofa, drinking drinks and playing with his phone silently from beginning to end.
Therefore, outsiders are not very good at lying and cheating.
Besides, even if I lie now, once the evidence is found out, the outcome will only be more embarrassing.
"Waimura, are you really..."
Sudo is just a bit nervous, which doesn't mean he is a fool. Seeing the other party's reaction, how could he not know what it meant.
Without intending to give the defendant any time to argue, Wu Yi snapped his fingers crisply.
"Lingyin, present the evidence."
Lingyin? Who is that?
All the students in Class A in the classroom looked confused again.
It seems like another name I have never heard of.
But...it seems to be a girl's name?
Although they also couldn't remember who it was, the gazes of Karuizawa Megumi and Kushida Kikyo simultaneously became sharp, like two searchlights scanning the entire class.
Then, a cold-faced girl with long black hair stood up, and the boundary between her black stockings and short skirt outlined a perfect absolute area as always.
Horikita Suzune walked up to the podium leisurely and sighed softly, feeling annoyed.
"Although I allowed you to call me by my name before, it still feels weird in such a public place. I should have forbidden it earlier."
Wu Yi scratched his face: "I think it looks even weirder after you said that. At least tell the whole story, otherwise people will think we have some hidden relationship."
"Don't flatter yourself..."
While Horikita Suzune's sharp tongue instinctively showed, she habitually took out her cell phone and tried to connect it to the projector.
Then, she saw that Wu Yi's mobile phone was connected to the projector.
After a brief silence, Horikita Suzune's voice grew even colder.
"If I remember correctly, all the evidence should be with you, including the video I recorded, which I have already sent to you."
"Hmm? I know."
Wu Yi uttered an "oh" and snatched the phone from the girl's hand in a lightning-fast manner, then handed her the phone that was already connected to the projector.
"That's all right. You'll be in charge of presenting the evidence, and I'll be in charge of explaining it. Okay, let's get started, assistant."
"..."
Horikita Suzune fell silent.
To be honest, for a moment she really wanted to smash the phone right into this guy's face.
When did I become his assistant! ?
But she didn't do it after all.
Horikita Suzune opened the resource manager on her phone with some awkwardness and retrieved the video she had recorded at that time.
As soon as the video started playing and Ryuen and Yukinoshita Haruno appeared on the screen, Wu Yi intervened, clicked pause, and explained to the audience.
"This is a precious video of mankind's early conquest of the Internet cafe god of war. It records the whole process of me, Yukinoshita, and Horikita... ah, I mean, Suzune and Ryuen Sho trading evidence of the traitor. The video contains a close-up of the transaction contract, which is the one I have in my hand now..."
As he spoke, Wu Yi touched his pocket, took out a contract paper that was folded into a tofu shape, and unfolded it to show the whole class.
"So, that means the evidence I'm going to show you next is absolutely true. If the students from other villages are dissatisfied, they can appeal to the school. If it is found that there is fraud, then... Longyuan will be punished, and it has nothing to do with us."
After making a disclaimer, Wu Yi signaled Horikita Suzune to open the S system personal client and start playing the call recordings one by one in order from the chat history with Ryuen.
Soon, Ryuen and Sotomura's voices spread throughout the classroom through the radio.
There is no need to dispute it. Anyone with ears can tell that the voices and tones in these recordings are undoubtedly the originals.
The recordings played one after another, and with each recording, Hirata Yosuke's face became uglier.
No matter how idealistic he was, he understood that after what had happened, even if by some miracle Waimura was not expelled from school, no one else in the class would accept him in the future.
Especially when the extremely flattering words "I will serve His Majesty Ryuen to the utmost and will never refuse, even if it means going through fire and water or dying" rang out, Kouenji couldn't help but started laughing with his hands covering his face. His laughter was so loud that it even drowned out the sound from the radio.
More than ten minutes later, as all the call recordings were played, Wu Yi took the phone, disconnected it from the projector, and spread his hands in a helpless manner.
"Well, I don't think I need to say anything more. The situation is clear enough, right, everyone?"
"No, it's impossible..."
The murmur came from Sotomura Hideo.
I don't know when he stood up, and he kept talking to himself with his head down as if he was possessed. The light reflected on his glasses was as bright as a blind man's, making him look particularly creepy. The other students around him tried their best to avoid him when they saw him like this.
"Nothing is impossible."
Yukinoshita Haruno still kept her arms crossed and turned around and spoke.
"Ryuen never signed any contract with you, so there is no reason to protect you. You were just used by him. Of course, if it was just that, it would be fine. But you didn't repent after being used once, and you even wanted to sell out your class for fame... Sorry, Gomura-san, I will vote for you in this vote."
"It's okay to be forced to be a traitor, but it's disgusting that you actually go and wag your tail to please the enemy." Karuizawa Kei said with disgust.
"I... Although I have no ill will towards the students from the outside village, but for the sake of other students in the class... I'm sorry, the students from the outside village, I will also vote against you..."
Kushida Kikyo looked sad but helpless.
Three core members of the class spoke one after another, and Wu Yi jokingly added the final blow.
"What do you mean, out of town? Do you want to call your master on the spot for help?"
Volume 277: Chapter Who gave you the courage to pull my collar?
"Stop! You...you all shut up!"
Just as everyone was about to start criticizing the outside village with harsh words and deeds comparable to a witch trial, at this moment, voices of opposition were heard.
The person who stood up was actually Hirata Yosuke.
"Stop talking, all of you!"
As if afraid that others might not have heard clearly, Hirata clenched his fists and repeated what he had just said breathlessly.
Everyone looked at him with surprised and unfamiliar eyes, and it felt like their previous impressions of him had completely collapsed.
Wu Yi was quite calm. In fact, judging from Hirata's reaction when he expressed his intention to produce evidence, he had almost anticipated that the outcome would be like this.
"So, Hirata, what are you going to do?"
"I...I already said..."
Hirata Yosuke stared with his eyes wide open, looking quite horrified.
"Sotomura-san did these things only because he was threatened and bewitched by Ryuen. There is no need to expel him from school. As long as we talk to him properly, he will definitely be able to..."
"impossible."
Wu Yi interrupted.
"I've said it before, no betrayal is so small that it can be tolerated. I can accept mediocre or even poor abilities, but I will never let a traitor go."
"So, because of this, we have to sacrifice Sotomura-san?" Hirata Yosuke shouted.
"sacrifice?"
Wu Yi seemed to find the wording a bit funny and pulled the corner of his mouth. He dug his ear with his little finger and looked around the classroom. Finally, his eyes fell on Hirata again, and his tone was persuading.
"Wake up, that's not called sacrifice, that's called what you deserve. You should be thankful that this is in the ivory tower of school. If it were in the real world outside, a traitor like this would have been blocked by several people on his way home from get off work at night, dragged into an alley and beaten to death with sticks."
"shut up!!!"
As if some forbidden words had touched a sensitive nerve, Hirata roared and pushed away Yukinoshita Haruno who was blocking his way. He stomped to the podium and grabbed Wu Yi by the collar. His eyes were red and he was panting like a cow, as if he was bloodshot, and he spoke word by word.
"Just say one more word and try!"
"Hirata-san, calm down..."
The girl next to him stretched out her hand in fear to dissuade him, but Wu Yi gently pushed her hand away, then leaned down slightly and spoke word by word.
"I don't know what's wrong with you, but please let go of your hand and apologize so I can pretend nothing happened."
"…What if I don't?"
Just like a man whose blood was boiling and whose head was hot, Yosuke Hirata had no intention of backing down.
"Do not?"
As if he had heard something extremely funny, Wu Yi laughed out loud twice and then suddenly stopped. Then he suddenly raised the leg that had been hanging loosely from the edge of the podium and hit Hirata directly in the chest.
boom!
It took only the blink of an eye for him to go from being still to launching an attack. With a muffled sound, Hirata was lifted into the air before he could react. He was forced to let go and flew backwards five meters. After falling heavily to the ground, he slid several meters along the corridor until he stopped in the open space behind the classroom.
Wu Yi's kick sent him flying across the classroom!
Of course, this was the result of a Pacific Ocean full of water, otherwise his kick to the chest would have caused Hirata to suffer a cardiac arrest and a stroke on the spot.
Ignoring the dissuading gaze of Chabashi Sae, Wu Yi jumped down from the podium with his hands in his pockets and strode towards Hirata, who was lying on the ground at the back of the classroom, holding his chest in pain and trying to get up with difficulty.
"Stop it! If you continue like this, it will be considered fighting!" Chabashi Sae finally couldn't help but speak.
"I know."
Not even bothering to look at the female teacher, Wu Yi stopped in front of Hirata, lowered his head and looked down at him condescendingly.
