"Wait!"
Nagumo Miyabi was suddenly a bit dumbfounded, slapping the table and standing up:
"Such punishment is simply too heavy; how can there be a fine after expulsion, is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Teachers, he is completely using power for personal gain."
Nagumo Miyabi still felt he was being targeted.
Actually.
Hikigaya didn't put him in his heart at all.
Originally, the goal was only to graduate from Class A; why get mixed up with different years.
Originally, he also wanted to investigate the matter of Komiya.
Who knew Nagumo Miyabi himself would insist on running into the muzzle of the gun.
Then he could only take him as the first target.
"That's right."
"How could there be this kind of punishment."
"Teachers, Hikigaya, this is a complete abuse of power and a personal vendetta."
"Furthermore, who can afford such a punishment? What happens if there aren't enough private points?"
Hearing this.
Kobayashi and the others immediately panicked.
Not just them, even Ryuuen and his group were somewhat stunned.
School violence is strictly prohibited.
Anyone would say that, and they have to say it.
But in reality.
Whether it was elementary school, middle school, or even this school.
It had only ever been minor punishments and warnings.
Since they wanted to model society, they should model it thoroughly.
"Heh..."
Hikigaya said disdainfully:
"Isn't it simple? Even in society, death row inmates are similarly deprived of their political rights to prevent them from being granted special pardons."
"Such a severe punishment is precisely to prevent people like you from colluding to abuse violence and maliciously injure others."
"As for insufficient private points, just get expelled together."
Hikigaya would not show a hint of politeness; anyway, these people had nothing to do with him, and since they had hurt Sumida, it was even more impossible to forgive them.
Get lost together.
It's not that violence cannot be used.
Someone like Nagumo Miyabi should have kept his own hands clean, as for him, it was just a matter of saying a few words.
But Kobayashi and the others clearly lacked that ability.
If you lack the strength and don't walk the right path and get used as a tool, you just have to take the fall.
"How can it be like this? This is too unfair."
"Yeah, this is going too far."
"Teacher, the school can't do this."
Kobayashi and the others had tearful faces, clearly unconvinced.
Whether it was them, Nagumo Miyabi, Ryuuen Kakeru, or even Ayanokouji.
To students.
What's the big deal about a fight?
But in society, no one would indulge them anymore; if they abused violence and someone wanted to catch them, it would be a matter of minutes.
However.
Responding to them were only the calm gazes of Instructor Mashima and the others.
There is no right or wrong.
In the past, it was only because of the environment that Ryuuen and the others couldn't experience the consequences of abusing violence; now they could.
Fighting in society similarly results in going to a detention center or prison.
It's not that violence isn't allowed.
If you can keep yourself clean like Nagumo Miyabi—while not encouraged—this sort of thing objectively exists, so it's not impossible.
It is also a path leading to success.
It is just more arduous.
For people like Kobayashi who lack strength, if they get caught, they just have to take it.
As for.
The issue of settling privately, that depends on themselves.
Furthermore.
"I also agree."
Katsuragi said with a calm expression: "Malicious injury should be strictly punished regardless."
"I also agree; since violence was used maliciously, no matter how harsh it is, one should be prepared to accept the punishment."
First-year Class A Ishigami Kyo said calmly.
A large reason he would cast his vote for Hikigaya was to curb the methods of people like Ryuuen and Housen.
Clearly.
Hikigaya also kept his promise.
Nanase Tsubasa, Yagami Takuya, and others also expressed their support.
Perhaps it was to maintain their own personas, or perhaps it was mixed with the selfish desire to protect their companions.
In short.
Those who abuse violence are not popular.
Even in a democracy, the momentum still stood on Hikigaya's side.
At this time.
The expressions of Ryuuen and Housen Kazuomi were ugly to the extreme; they really wanted to curse Hikigaya as a shameless villain.
In the past, they hadn't experienced the consequences of violence.
They thought it was just mutual scuffling, just physical pain, but now they were feeling it.
After all.
Both were figures who used to be the "big bosses" in the past; even the dogs around them had to take a detour.
It was indeed very impressive.
Now they had to experience standing on the opposite side of everyone.
Exactly what that felt like.
In the face of the general trend, any resistance is powerless.
"I also agree."
Hirata Yosuke, Sudo.
Even Horikita Suzune similarly expressed agreement.
"Since violence was used, punishment should naturally be accepted, but is such a punishment a bit too severe? Currently, we are still students; there is no need to be so harsh."
"Compared to punishment, the school's responsibility should be education, right? I think there should be an opportunity for people to turn over a new leaf."
Hikigaya's mouth twitched.
This person rarely said a fair word.
He was just a bit puzzled.
Clearly, she had abandoned Sakura Airi.
How could this person Horikita Suzune always manage to stand on the "right" side—or rather, stand on his side.
He seriously suspected.
Whether Horikita Suzune, Hirata Yosuke, and that group had been brainwashed by Ayanokouji.
On this point.
He agreed with Horikita Suzune; the punishment was indeed too heavy.
This was an indisputable fact.
However.
"Doesn't making students realize how serious the consequences of their actions are serve an even better educational purpose?"
Hikigaya said with a calm expression.
As for the reason.
It was very simple.
If I can't fool Chairman Sakayanagi, can't I fool you?
He recognized that he was here for a personal vendetta.
The matter of Nagumo Miyabi didn't matter at all; it didn't matter who was expelled, nor did it matter if the punishment was severe.
The main purpose.
Was to restrict Ryuuen Kakeru's methods and, by the way, vent some anger for Sumida.
He wanted Ryuuen Kakeru to recognize one fact.
If you dare to use despicable and low-handed little tricks again in the future, as long as you fall into my hands, your expulsion will be certain.
There will not be the slightest room for maneuver.
One must fear authority, and one must also fear virtue.
Ryuuen needed to experience the consequences of violence, and Horikita Suzune also needed to experience the consequences of a loss of virtue once.
"In that case, I have nothing more to say."
Horikita Suzune nodded and did not refute.
Clearly, their philosophies differed; it didn't matter if Hikigaya wanted the punishment to be a bit heavier, as their Class D definitely wouldn't abuse violence.
The world where only Ryuuen gets hurt was completed.
On the other side.
Nagumo Miyabi clenched his fists and watched the talkative Hikigaya with a cold eye, feeling that this guy was deliberately targeting him.
How could there be such a severe punishment?
Even if the whole world thought so, no matter how dignified Hikigaya's words were.
In short.
Nagumo Miyabi felt he was the one being targeted; there was no way around it.
However.
Did he think this could restrict his methods?
Did he think that by restricting violence and avoiding it in special exams, he could make Nagumo Miyabi helpless?
Dream on.
Nagumo Miyabi gave a cold laugh and turned to look at Sumida Makoto.
Even if Hikigaya became the student council president, so what? As long as the victim withdraws the appeal, Hikigaya would be equally powerless.
Did he think his target was picked at random?
In reality, Nagumo Miyabi had specifically picked Sumida, who was kind-hearted and had an average relationship with Hikigaya and the others.
Otherwise.
He would have directly moved against Shibata, Kanzaki, or even Ichinose.
However.
Nagumo Miyabi knew very well.
Those people would likely follow Hikigaya's lead.
Only picking someone who wasn't that close to Hikigaya and was soft-hearted was the most suitable.
Money can make the devil turn the millstone.
Some people.
Being bullied can't exactly be said to be their own fault, but there is certainly a reason for it.
