Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 489 Regular Meetings
Ryuen's expression turned somewhat amused. The riot in the third year hadn't even been a day, and the school was already pressuring Ryuen to resolve it. Being the student council president was indeed not an easy job.

Nan Yun already knew the contents of the phone call while standing next to Longyuan, but he made no comment and remained indifferent to the school's attitude, simply clapping his hands and leaving.

Clearly, he had left the mess to Longyuan; he didn't want to get involved in student council affairs.

Longyuan held its first regular student council meeting in response.

Ichinose, Kikyo, Ayanokouji, and Kanzaki all came.

This was the first time the entire student council had gathered together, and everyone was surprised except for Longyuan.

"Ayanokouji, what are you doing here?"

"..."

"Kansaki-san, it's been a long time."

"You too, Ichinose-san, it's been a long time."

"Stop, that's enough of our reminiscing."

Long Yuan clapped his hands: "I've called everyone here today to deal with what happened to the third-year students this morning. The school wants us to quell the unrest as soon as possible so that the third-year students can graduate peacefully. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions."

Long Yuan got straight to the point, but after he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. The incident involving the third graders had caused quite a stir, and everyone present had heard about it, but at this moment, no one was too embarrassed to be the first to speak.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Ichinose raised her hand and said, "I think that in order to prevent the situation from escalating further, we should use the school's authority to shut down the campus forum for a while."

"That's a good approach. Public opinion control is indeed very important. We can tell the outside world that the campus forum is currently undergoing maintenance and upgrades."

Ryuen agreed with Ichinose's words. In fact, Ryuen had already planned to do this before the school called him, but the approval process would take some time.

Kikyo pouted: "Shutting down the forum won't do any good. Each class has its own class group, and there are also some smaller groups. The spread of information just won't stop. It's just a change of the main battleground for arguments."

Longyuan is also having a headache about this issue. After all, it's impossible to shut down all the third-grade students' phones. If that were the case, the online arguments might escalate into offline fights, and the situation might get even worse.

"It's better to guide than to block; directly arresting those who spread rumors is more effective."

Kanzaki also expressed his opinion: since we're already here, we can't just do nothing; we should at least do our part.

Kanzaki comforted himself, telling himself that he wasn't helping Ryuen solve her problems, but rather working towards the overall development of the school.

"But right now there are absolutely no clues about the suspects, and judging from the current speed and scope of the spread, there must be more than one person who committed the crime."

As someone who has experienced a similar event, Kikyo has a fairly clear understanding of the current symptoms.

The room fell silent again. If the perpetrator were so easy to catch, there would be no need for everyone to sit here and discuss this.

"There are some clues, though."

Long Yuan tapped on his phone and quickly brought up some account information.

"These are the accounts that were obtained through the school's access privileges and were the first to spread information online."

"Then why not just take control of these accounts registered under the students' real names?" Kikyo leaned back in her chair, thinking she could finally show off her skills, but it turned out she had no room to maneuver at all.

Long Yuan shook his head: "The school's authority is only to obtain information about these accounts. It cannot verify that the person who posts information online is the person whose account is registered under their real name. It is very likely that the account has been stolen by someone else. Many of these accounts belong to first-year and second-year students. Moreover, we do not have the authority to arrest the real-name owners of those accounts."

"Why? Don't we, the student council, even have this much right?"

Kikyo didn't understand. She thought the student council had a lot of power, after all, they were all-powerful during Nagumo's time.

Ichinose, who had worked in the student council the longest among everyone present, explained to Kikyo with a wry smile: "The student council's power comes from the school, but the exercise of power must be in accordance with school rules and laws. We have no right to arrest people arbitrarily. Even the account information that Ryuen has is, strictly speaking, the students' personal privacy and absolutely cannot be leaked or used. If students question us on this matter, it will be very troublesome."

Long Yuan nodded again: "Therefore, this account information must not be disseminated to the outside world. We can only use this account information to conduct some investigations into the person behind it. If we really find the person behind it, the person who will take coercive measures will not be us, but the school. That is why the school contacted us first."

"Tsk, so the school wants us to solve the problem, but the school will accept the final result, right? That's disgusting."

Kikyo makes no attempt to hide her complaints about the school.

Ichinose comforted Kikyo, saying, "You can't say that. Helping students solve problems is our student council's job, and the results are shared between the school and us, and will ultimately be counted in our academic performance evaluation."

Kikyo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Could it be that doing a good job can earn extra points on the exam?"

Ichinose realized Kikyo had misunderstood and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. Every student council has a final performance evaluation, and if the evaluation results are excellent, the student council can become an outstanding student council."

This was the first time anyone else present had heard about it, including Long Yuan.

Kanzaki adjusted his glasses, showing interest in the matter: "What are the benefits of being named an outstanding student?"

Ichinose was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly, "The benefit is, well, the school will give me a certificate."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"nothing else?"

"……there is none left."

"What? It's completely useless. Why bother with third-grade nonsense? It has nothing to do with us second-grades anyway. It's fine if we do nothing, right?"

Kikyo lost her enthusiasm, and Ichinose was somewhat at a loss. Her purpose in bringing this up was not to dampen everyone's spirits.

"I also think that doing nothing is the best option."

Ayanokouji, who had been silent until now, suddenly stepped forward to support Kikyo, surprising not only Kikyo herself but also Ryuen, who narrowed his eyes in surprise.

"There is less than a week left until the end of the third year. In this week, as long as there is no violent incident, it doesn't matter what the public opinion is like. The school only requires that the third year students graduate peacefully. The so-called 'peaceful' means that everyone graduates in good physical condition. As for mental trauma, I think it is not within the scope of consideration."
