People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

Horikita Manabu took out his key, unlocked the student council office, pushed open the door, and went inside.

"Come in, everyone."

With her two little buns on her head, Akane Tachibana was like a domineering CEO's personal secretary, never leaving his side and following closely behind.

Immediately afterward, Bai Lan rushed in before Nan Yun.

Seeing this, Nan Yun couldn't help but get angry again, but soon he laughed.

Keep being arrogant for now, because your time to fall is coming soon!

Nan Yun cursed under his breath as he was the last to enter the student council office.

"Close the door," Horikita Manabu said again.

Nan Yun understood perfectly, after all, "family scandals should not be aired in public."

Then, he casually closed the door.

"The door's closed, Horikita-senpai, we can start now. But please, just give me some face and say a few words, that's enough," Nagumo said gleefully, "pleading" for Bai Lan.

Horikita glanced at Nangumo.

For some reason, Nagumo felt that Horikita Manabu's gaze was a little strange.

Nagumo sensed something was wrong.

Horikita Manabu didn't respond to Nagumo's words, but turned to look at Bai Lan and said, "Bai Lan, tell me... what exactly did Nagumo do to deserve this?"

"Huh?" Nan Yun exclaimed in surprise.

its not right!

This is not right!

I'm the victim here!

I was the one who was bullied. Why did Horikita-senpai immediately assume that I did something wrong first, as if I deserved to be "bullied"?

Why does Horikita-senpai trust this guy named Shirai so much?!

Thinking of this, Nan Yun couldn't help but ask, "Horikita-senpai, are you mistaken?"

Although I did some things when I was young and impetuous that made me seem difficult to deal with, you can't just assume it's my fault every time a problem involves me, can you?

I've also worked hard for the student union and made contributions. I've also been trying to improve. Your lack of trust in me, your preference for a newcomer who hasn't even joined yet over a long-time subordinate, is... truly disheartening.

While speaking, Nagumo kept a close eye on Horikita Manabu's expression, trying to glean some feedback from it.

However, Horikita Manabu's expression remained as serious as ever, his face stern and imposing, showing no reaction to Nagumo's words, and Nagumo couldn't discern anything from him.

However, after Nagumo finished expressing his doubts, Horikita Manabu still intended to explain to the other party why he did what he did.

After all, it is the student council president's responsibility to explain the legal basis of his law enforcement to the students involved in the incident.

Then, Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses with his middle finger and said, "Shirai-san will be joining the student council as a disciplinary committee member."

"Disciplinary Committee Member?" Upon hearing the title of this position, Nan Yun was somewhat taken aback.

Nan Yun was quite familiar with the position of "Disciplinary Committee Member". Due to the widespread use of surveillance in schools, Disciplinary Committee Members had nothing to do at all. At most, they would temporarily take on "miscellaneous" tasks when there was a shortage of manpower. They were just doing odd jobs and had no authority to manage any affairs.

Having nothing to do is the same as having no rights.

Therefore, the disciplinary committee member is a position with virtually no power.

Now that Bai Lan has taken this position, does he still have room to suppress others?

and many more.

Is Bai Lan a member of the disciplinary committee?

He initially said that he was invited by Horikita Manabu to do something...?

Then, Nan Yun became agitated. He pointed at Bai Lan and then asked Horikita Gakuen, "President, I'm reporting that Bai Lan just used your name to swindle people. He said you invited him to take on the position of secretary, but it turns out he's just a disciplinary committee member."

At this moment, unable to answer Nagumo's question, Bai Lan couldn't help but speak up and explain, "No, I didn't lie to you. The chairman did invite me to be the secretary, but I wanted to be a disciplinary committee member, so I became a disciplinary committee member."

"Huh?" Nan Yun was dumbfounded.

Bai Lan would actually give up the more powerful "Secretary" position and voluntarily request to become a powerless "Disciplinary Committee Member"?

This was something that Nagumo, who liked to be in control of power, found incomprehensible.

"Even if he joins the student council and becomes a disciplinary committee member, what does that have to do with you, Horikita-senpai, suspecting me, the 'victim,' of being the 'wrongdoer'?"

Horikita Manabu explained, "My attitude towards student council recruitment has always been 'better to have none than to have bad ones.'"

I will not hire people who are not talented enough.

Therefore, I didn't approve any of the applications for joining the student union that the student union collected last month.

I would not create useless positions, because schools are covered by surveillance cameras, which are far more efficient at detecting violations than human surveillance. The role of disciplinary committee members patrolling the campus to catch violations is negligible.

Therefore, I had not looked for anyone to fill the position of disciplinary committee member before this.

"But since I invited Bai Lan to join the student council and appointed him as a disciplinary committee member, it means I recognize Bai Lan's abilities and believe he can play a very good role in this position."

"Huh?" Nan Yun was somewhat dismissive: "With so many surveillance cameras in the school, how many can the disciplinary committee members replace? Besides, like I said, what does this have to do with your bias towards newcomers?"

Horikita Manabu did not directly answer Nagumo's question, but continued, "The job of the disciplinary committee is to patrol the campus, stop and deal with violations, and maintain the campus atmosphere and discipline."

Although our school is equipped with surveillance cameras everywhere, there are still many blind spots that the cameras cannot detect, and many students often take advantage of these blind spots to commit disciplinary violations.

In areas that surveillance cameras can't cover, that's where disciplinary committee members come in.

At this point, Nagumo raised another question: "Plugging all the loopholes? Is that really possible?"

Horikita Manabu: "You'll only know if you try it."

"Hehe..." Nan Yun disagreed with Horikita Manabu's words and said, "Let's not talk about whether Junior Brother Bai can actually do it."

But even if we succeed, so what? Discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities—isn't that part of the school's process of testing and training our students' ability to adapt to society?

This world is full of loopholes, and often these loopholes are part of the rules themselves.

If he could really plug all the loopholes, wouldn't students lose an opportunity to develop their skills at school?

Hearing what Nagumo said, Horikita Manabu also felt that there was some truth to it. He pondered whether he should distinguish which loopholes should be plugged and which should not be plugged, and did not reply for a while.

At this moment, Bai Lan couldn't help but speak up: "Please, is that 'finding loopholes'? Are you sure it's not 'copying loopholes'? Besides, the rules for updating loopholes in this school are different from those in the outside world."

Nagumo: "What do you mean?"

Horikita Manabu asked curiously, "Oh? What are your thoughts, Shiro-kun?"

Bai Lan: "This world is indeed full of loopholes, but these loopholes are not static. The emergence of these loopholes often benefits some people while harming the interests of others. Those who suffer losses will definitely try to plug the loopholes."

In the struggle to plug vulnerabilities, there are winners and losers. If you succeed, the vulnerability is plugged; if you fail, the vulnerability remains.

Even if the vulnerabilities still exist, they are generally affected by the struggle.

The impact can be positive or negative; it can lead to the expansion of vulnerabilities or it can lead to their reduction.

Besides, even after the loopholes were plugged, the struggle was not over.

People who lose out because a vulnerability has been patched will try to find another vulnerability or discover a new one.

Therefore, vulnerabilities are not static, but constantly changing.

The vulnerabilities that exist today may not still exist tomorrow.

Even places that seem perfect now might become vulnerabilities the next moment.

If left unchecked, vulnerabilities will only increase. It's just that the number of existing vulnerabilities remains unchanged, not the total number and state of vulnerabilities.

The vulnerabilities that existed in the past will eventually become common knowledge and will no longer require observation.

Moreover, the methods for using these loopholes are so common that students don't need to observe or think at all; they can just copy them, which doesn't develop their observation skills at all.

When people realize that the well-known vulnerabilities are enough for them, most will become complacent. Since they can make a good living by exploiting vulnerabilities at school, they have no motivation to look for new vulnerabilities.

When the loopholes become too numerous, that's when the school's system will collapse.

Of course, the school will not allow itself to collapse because of vulnerabilities; it will definitely try to fix those serious vulnerabilities before they cause serious harm.

The school's rules actually change every year. These changes are in order to control loopholes and maintain a system that both tests students and ensures its stability.

So, since the school will patch the vulnerabilities sooner or later, why not use these vulnerabilities to train our ability to 'find vulnerabilities' while also training our ability to 'patch vulnerabilities'?

In any case, vulnerabilities will always keep appearing; there's no way to solve them once and for all, and they can never be completely patched.

The new vulnerabilities just need to be discovered by someone. In this way, wouldn't these new vulnerabilities be used to help students develop their observation skills?

Isn't it ingenious to use one cave for two purposes?

I don't know how to do it, but I know it's a long time

3仪唲叭义汜易Ⅲ纠

Moreover, because schools and students have different perspectives, some extremely harmful vulnerabilities may go unnoticed by schools but can be discovered by students. By the time schools discover these vulnerabilities, it is often too late, and the schools are already at risk of being destroyed by them.

When that time comes, the school will try to fix the loopholes before they destroy the system, but that will be a huge and very dangerous undertaking.

Just like treating a seriously ill patient suffering from multiple ailments, the slightest carelessness could hasten their demise; there's no time to rush it.

Because there's no rush, by then the speed at which the vulnerability is patched may not be able to keep up with the vulnerability's emergence and expansion, and in the end, all that can be done is delay the demise.

You don't want our school to 'die' either, do you?

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a vulnerability patching system that originates from the perspective of us students.

That's my point of view.

After hearing Bai Lan's speech, Horikita Manabu's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement. Then he asked Nan Yun, "Nan Yun, do you have any more questions?"

Nan Yun opened his mouth, but in the end he just shook his head.

105. It's so frustrating. Why do I have to choose between two options? Why can't I offend both of them?

Perhaps she felt that she appeared too weak.

Nan Yun quickly added, "It's not that I don't have a problem, it's just that I haven't thought of it yet. My view on this issue is to put it aside for now, neither supporting nor opposing it. Once I discover the problem, I will definitely refute you firmly and stop you from continuing to act recklessly!"

"Hmph~" Bai Lan shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

“Since there’s no problem…” Horikita Manabu continued, “However, even if you know the direction in which to use your abilities, it’s not something that just anyone can do.”

To excel as a disciplinary committee member in a highly monitored high school, one must first possess "insights that surveillance cannot provide," understand the limitations of surveillance, and discover disciplinary violations that surveillance cannot detect. Only in this way can one fill the dark corners that surveillance cannot observe.
