A soft female voice came from inside the door. Hashima Hikaru and Ibuki looked at each other and pushed the door open together.

After entering the student union, the scene inside was not as serious as the boy had imagined. The furnishings in the spacious classroom were not complicated. Several red beech tables and chairs were placed in the middle. Many students were working on something there with their heads down. There were also many colorful folders piled on the desks.

At the innermost part of the student union classroom, there was a completely different set of black wooden tables. Sitting on the chair was a man who had met Hashima Hikaru once before, Horikita Manabu, who was looking at this side.

"You are first-year students, right? What can I do for you in the student union?"

At this time, the female voice that just said "please come in" came to Mitsuru Hashima's ears. He turned around and saw a girl with purple hair standing next to him. She had a beautiful face, a petite figure, and two buns on her head.

Judging from her attire, she should be a senior student, and she was holding a brown notebook in her hand.

"Hello, we are..."

Just as Hashima Hikaru was about to greet her and explain his purpose, he found that after seeing his face, the other party's expression suddenly became excited and immediately shouted, "It's Hashima-san!"

"Senior, do you know me?"

The boy seemed particularly surprised by this reaction. In his impression, this should be the first time he met the other party.

Ibuki next to her immediately frowned. She looked at Hashima Hikaru standing next to her, and her mind began to quickly think about what was going on.

"President, it's Hashima-san who's here."

The purple-haired senior was very surprised when she saw Hashima. She quickly walked to the table and chair at the back and said to Horikita Manabu, "He should be here to join the student council, right?"

"uncertain."

Horikita Manabu looked at Hashima Hikaru standing there and the short-haired girl next to him. Although he didn't know what had happened, judging from the only contact he had with the boy before, things should not be that simple.

"Um, Horikita-senpai?"

Hashima Hikaru decided to take the initiative and walked directly towards Horikita Manabu with Ibuki.

"Hashima-kun, what brings you to the student council office today?"

Horikita Manabu adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his sharp eyes fell on Hashima Hikaru again.

"It's not my business. I just came here to accompany this classmate."

Hashima naturally stepped back half a step, introduced Ibuki to Horikita, and slowly explained, "This is Ibuki from Class C of the first year. She came to the student council to file an accusation."

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the purple-haired senior student next to her suddenly changed, but she did not ask any questions. Instead, she immediately looked at Horikita Manabu who was sitting there.

"Accusations? What accusations?"

Horikita Manabu shifted his gaze to Ibuki Mio, who was standing next to him. After looking her up and down, he said, "Could you please explain in detail?"

"Ok."

Faced with Horikita Manabu's powerful aura, Ibuki Mio couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but since she had come this far, she was unwilling to give up halfway.

"I want to accuse my classmate, Ryuen Sho, of attempting to use violence against me this afternoon in order to achieve his goal."

The girl smoothly made her accusation and then quietly waited for the response from the man sitting upright in his seat.

"A charge of violence?"

Horikita Manabu's expression remained unchanged after hearing her words. He glanced at Hashima Hikaru, who remained silent, and continued to speak to Ibuki, "If this is an accusation of violence, witnesses and testimony are required."

"Do you have all of these?"

"Of course."

Ibuki nodded, then gestured to Hashima Hikaru next to him to hand over the phone.

"Ah."

Seeing the two of them behave like this, Horikita Manabu curled the corners of his mouth and reached out to take the phone handed over by the boy.

"President, what exactly happened?"

Akane Tachibana, who was standing by, looked anxious as she watched Horikita Manabu checking his phone. After all, accusations of violence didn't happen often, and the senior students all knew the school rules and wouldn't cross the line so blatantly.

"It's indeed an act of violence."

After watching the video shot by Hashima Hikaru, Horikita Manabu nodded slightly.

The picture displayed on the phone was very clear. A man with long hair was swinging his fists and assaulting the girl in front of him, while the other party kept dodging and almost hit her several times.

In order to better strengthen the impression of violence, Hikaru Hashima cut most of the video on the way here, leaving only more than ten seconds, which looks quite impactful.

Although it wasn't long, it was more than enough.

Violent behavior is not judged only after it is successfully committed. As long as you take action, you must be punished regardless of whether you hurt anyone in the end.

"Tachibana-san, come over and take a look."

Horikita did not make a direct conclusion, but handed the phone to Akane Tachibana next to her. The purple-haired senior's face turned very ugly after watching the video. As a woman, she could understand the situation Ibuki was facing at the time.

"Ibuki-san, are you okay?"

Tachibana Akane approached Ibuki with concern, asking about his condition with a gentle demeanor. The short-haired girl simply shook her head and said slowly, "My motor skills are quite good, so I was able to dodge his violent behavior."

She explained in detail, following the statement she had just made with the boy: "Hashima-san happened to be in the science classroom next door. He saw the scene and filmed it with his phone."

"I see."

Horikita Manabu nodded, but quickly pressed on, "So how did this incident end? Why did Ryuuen-san stop?"

"I sent a message to the other students in Class B, asking them to come over," Hashima Hikaru answered the student council president's question, looking directly into Horikita Manabu's eyes without a moment's hesitation. "Because I knew we couldn't defeat Ryuuen, I called for help."

"When he saw that there were several of us, he gave up on the idea of ​​continuing to use violence against Ibuki-san and finally left."

"Why would Ryuuen be violent towards this Ibuki-san?"

"He wanted to be the class leader, but I disagreed, so he asked me out to try to persuade me. But once we got there, he tried to use violence to force me to vote for him."

"He also said that if I didn't agree, he would beat me until I agreed."

This was actually true, so the expression on Ibuki's face was very natural.

After the two finished explaining in unison, Ju Qian, who was standing aside, could no longer bear it. She was usually calm, but after hearing this boy abuse a girl and force her to do something she didn't want to do, her inner anger was completely ignited.

"President, I believe this egregious act of violence warrants the most severe punishment. It completely violates school regulations. I request a summons for Ryuen-san."

"can."

Horikita Manabu nodded, and just as he was instructing the student council cadres to prepare to carry out the order, a frivolous voice suddenly came from the door.

"Horikita-senpai, I heard there were accusations of violence against students here. I want to help with something as serious as this."

The next second, a blond boy walked into the student union classroom. He was handsome, with an interested smile on his face, looking at everyone standing there.

"It looks like there are quite a few new students here. Let me introduce myself to you. I'm the vice president of the student union, Nan Yunya."

"What are you discussing? Can I listen in?"

Chapter 28 Nan Yun

When the man who claimed to be the vice president of the student union walked into the student union, Hikaru Hashima noticed that the purple-haired senior girl holding notes next to him suddenly became much more nervous.

Horikita Manabu, who was sitting in his seat, also had some reaction, but it was very subtle. He just stared at Nan Yun Miyabi who was walking over with his sharp eyes.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? As a student council member, I'm supposed to help these lovely juniors." A gentle smile appeared on Nanyun's face. He walked over to Ibuki and asked enthusiastically, "Is this junior being bullied?"

"Nanyun-san, this matter has already been accepted by the president, so naturally he should handle it." The hostility on Tachibana Akane's face was obvious, and she was completely unwilling for him to interfere.

"How can you say that? Horikita-senpai has too many things to worry about every day. Wouldn't it be better for me to handle this violent incident involving first-year students?"

"It can also make Horikita-senpai's life easier."

"But..."

Akane Tachibana wanted to continue arguing, but Horikita Manabu stopped her with his eyes. The man with glasses didn't care about Nanyun's behavior, but looked at Hashima Hikaru next to him.

"Hashima-kun, this is Nagumo-san, a second-year student and the vice president of the student council."

"Hello, Nanyun-senpai."

Hashima Hikaru had been observing the situation since the golden-haired man came in. After listening to Horikita Manabu's introduction, he quickly bowed and greeted Nanyun Miyabi. His courtesy was very considerate and there was nothing wrong with it.

Not only that, he also tugged at the sleeve of Ibuki who was standing next to him, signaling the other party to respond in the same way.

"Nanyun-senpai...Okay."

Although the girl was caught off guard by his action, she still cooperated and greeted him.

"Hello, hello, you are truly serious juniors," Nan Yunya said with a satisfied look, indicating that she could leave the matter to him. "Since you want to file an accusation, I can handle it."

"this..."

A hint of hesitation appeared on Hashima Hikaru's face. He was certainly not afraid of offending the man in front of him who claimed to be the vice-president of the student union, but he wanted to test Horikita Manabu's attitude.

"We've already given the video to Horikita-senpai, so why don't we let him decide?"

"Okay, I also want to know what Horikita-senpai's plan is."

Nan Yunya didn't care about Hashima Hikaru's throwing of the ball. He was just a first-grade kid, and he didn't intend to take it seriously at all.

"Since Nanyun-san is so eager to help me, I'll give you this opportunity to review the case." Horikita Manabu's expression remained calm. He said to the two student council members he had just called over, "Go to Class C of the first year and bring Ryuen-san over."

After assigning the tasks, the student council president looked at Nan Yunya, who still had a smile on her face, and said generously, "However, as the vice president of the student council, I believe that Nan Yun must have a very clear understanding of the school rules. Please do not make any mistakes in your judgment during the review, otherwise it will affect the authority of the student council."

"Please rest assured, Horikita-senpai, I will definitely make a fair and impartial judgment and will not let you down."

After accepting this suggestion, Nan Yun Masa immediately turned her attention to Hashima Hikaru and Ibuki next to her, as if she wanted to check the mobile phones in their hands.

"Nanyun-senpai, this is the video we filmed, recording Ryuuen-san's violent behavior against Ibuki-san."

After Hashima Hikaru handed over the phone at the right time, his tone suddenly became indignant.

"Ibuki-san clearly didn't do anything wrong. He simply refused to vote for Ryuuen-san, but he actually dared to attack her. Furthermore, as a boy, bullying a girl is extremely despicable. Please, Senior Nanyun, please seek justice for us!"

"...Don't worry, I will make the most fair judgment."

After taking the phone from Mitsuru Hashima, Nan Yun carefully watched all the contents of the video, and then a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.

Although it looks like the man in the picture is abusing the woman, judging from the woman's expression and specific movement trajectory, she seems so at ease, as if she is not afraid of the other person's fist hitting her at all.

No, this is fake, there must be something wrong with the content of this video!

This was a premeditated frame-up.

Nanyun Masaharu made a judgment in his mind, so he looked at Horikita Manabu who was sitting upright in the chair. The other party was looking down at the documents on the table, as if he didn't care about all this at all.

So that's how it is. You want me to take the blame.

The blond man's face darkened, but he didn't react at all. Instead, he silently kept all this in mind.

"What's wrong, Nanyun-san? Are you incapable of this task?" Horikita Manabu raised his head, his sharp eyes falling on Nanyun Miyabi. "If you have other important things to do, I can do it now."

As soon as these words came out, the student council members that Nanyun had previously won over immediately looked over. They all stared at Nanyun, wanting to see what decision he would make when facing Horikita Manabu.

"Of course not. Since this is a task Horikita-senpai has assigned to me, I must complete it beautifully. Otherwise, I will be unworthy of the title of Vice President of the Student Council."

Nan Yun's face immediately showed a confident look. He looked at Hashima Hikaru and Ibuki standing there and said solemnly, "Don't worry, since this student really dared to commit such a violent act in school, I promise to make sure he gets the punishment he deserves."

"Then we are grateful to Senior Nanyun. I believe you will be able to make the most correct judgment."

Hashima Hikaru quickly bowed to him and thanked him with a humble demeanor, and even Ibuki next to him was a little stunned.

In her mind, this pretty boy-looking Mr. Hashima is a liar who is full of lies. Since she met him yesterday, until now, the girl has not heard a word of truth from his mouth.

"Don't worry, I will make the most fair judgment." Nanyun stared at Hashima Hikaru's face with a haughty expression. "However, when the deliberation comes, for the sake of fairness, I will also let this Ryuen-san explain himself. You will need to debate with him then."

"Otherwise, if I wrongly accuse a good person, I will be guilty of a great sin."

The blond man looked at the first-year boy in front of him. The boy had an extremely striking face. Although he looked harmless, it was obvious that he was the mastermind behind this false accusation.

Humph, this year's freshmen are really extraordinary. They have given me such a big surprise just a few days after school started?

"I understand. We will tell you all the information and ensure that Senior Nanyun will not make a wrong judgment." Hashima Hikaru's expression was still respectful, as if he had great respect for the second-year vice-president of the student union in front of him.

"Ah."

Horikita Manabu, who was sitting next to him, looked at Hashima Hikaru's performance and had a deeper opinion of him.

He is very intelligent, but also very thick-skinned, so he should be treated with caution.

Chapter 29 Review Concludes

After Hashima Hikaru and Ibuki waited in the student union for five or six minutes, the door of the student union was opened again. The two student union seniors who were on a mission walked in front, followed by a long-haired man, who was Ryuen Sho.

"Vice President Nagumo, Ryuuen-san is here."
