Arisu Sakayanagi looked at the students below and changed the subject, his tone becoming serious.

"But what I didn't expect was that someone else would post such a nasty message on Saturday morning, even though I hadn't modified the content of the email when I printed it. This was clearly a targeted attack."

"Hashima-san, please."

"Ok."

After receiving instructions from Arisu Sakayanagi, Hikaru Hashima immediately ordered the students of Class A standing in the backstage to push out the photo materials that had been printed long ago. The photos were pasted on a movable whiteboard, and when they were pushed to the front of the podium, all the students could see them clearly.

"There are two photos here. The first one shows the content of the email I received, and the one below shows the specific time I received the email."

Arisu Sakayanagi pointed first to the left, then to the right, "The second one shows the specific content of that post."

"Everyone can clearly see that the content of the email sent to me and the final post on the forum are completely different. The level of severity has increased a lot. It is obviously intentional."

"That seems to be the case, but why did you send it to Sakayanagi-san first?"

"Yeah, who on earth is doing such a thing?"

After seeing these two photos, the students started talking about it.

"The specific reason why it was sent to me first is not clear at the moment, but that is not the focus today."

Arisu Sakayanagi glanced at Nanyun Miyabi, whose expression was uncertain, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The key point is that someone modified the content of this email and exaggerated it into that post before publishing it. This is a serious rumor-mongering act. After discussing it with Hashima-san, I decided to step forward and provide some support."

"Yes, that's what Sakayanagi-san was talking about."

Hashima Hikaru took over the conversation, gazing at the crowd below, his tone amplified. "Spreading such a vile rumor not only significantly impacts Ichinose-san's reputation, but also places immense strain on her mentally. Do you think such behavior is permissible?"

"I think what Hashima-san said is quite right. Spreading vile rumors against girls is really despicable. Have you found the real murderer?"

As an upright boy, Hirata Yosuke took the initiative to respond at this time.

"Yes, thanks to Sakayanagi-san, we have tracked down a very important clue."

"What's the clue that Hashima-san mentioned?"

Nan Yunya suddenly took the initiative and said, "I'm interested too."

"This clue may require Senior Nanyun to come forward and explain. After all, you are a senior, so your words naturally carry more weight."

After seeing him speak, Hashima Hikaru smiled with satisfaction on the spot.

How to say walking into a trap.

"I?"

Nan Yunya was a little confused.

"Yes, Sakayanagi-san prints emails in the student council office. That printer can be used to query specific print records through permissions. Once we find the specific records, the truth will be revealed, right?"

"Is it?"

Nanyun Miyabi pretended to think seriously at first, then revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment. "But I remember that there was a problem with the printer a few days ago, and the printer usage record is invalid. I'm afraid I can't help Hashima-kun with this?"

"No, the record is not invalid."

"?"

Chapter 532: Nan Yunya is in desperate situation.

In the noisy gymnasium, students listened to the conversation between Hashima Hikaru and Nanyun Miyabi, and many of them became interested. Everyone wanted to know who had spread such rumors.

"No, the record is not invalid."

After saying this, Hashima Hikaru said to Nanyun Miyabi, who was trying to remain calm, "Since Nanyun-senpai entered school a year earlier than me, you should understand that authority in this school is divided into different levels, right?"

"That's natural. For example, within the student union, there are only two people who have the authority to view printer usage records: me and you, Hashima-kun."

Nan Yunya smiled faintly, as if she knew everything. "You can check it with your own permissions. You should know that the printer was malfunctioning, right?"

"That's right, that's right."

Hashima Hikaru suddenly clapped his hands and smiled, "I checked it right away. There was indeed a problem with the printer a few days ago, which caused some records to be invalid. I can't see the specific content at all."

"What are you going to do?"

Nan Yunya stared at the handsome face of the young man, trying to find out the real reason why he was so confident.

"Hey, have you forgotten what I just said, Nanyun-senpai?"

Hashima Hikaru raised a finger. "This school has different levels of authority. Besides the student council, there are naturally higher-level authority holders. Accounts with higher authority can access detailed print records."

"Wait... who is this person you are talking about?"

Nanyun Masa subconsciously thought of Horikita Manabu, but then she thought, the other party had his own pride, and when he left office, he handed over all the authority very openly, so it definitely couldn't be him.

Who could that be?

"It's the chairman."

Hashima Mitsuru smiled slightly, and when he said this word, the students watching the excitement below exclaimed again. Although they had been enrolled for a long time, there were only a handful of students who had any contact with the chairman.

Ryuen Sho and Katsuragi Kōhei, two important figures in the class, both had their expressions changed when they heard Hashima Mitsuru mention the chairman.

"Chairman? Did Hashima-san even go to see the chairman specifically about this matter?"

Nan Yunya looked at the boy's expression and was suddenly shocked. When he first fought with Hashima Hikaru, he never thought that the other party was actually connected with the chairman.

Because according to convention, the chairman of the board will only deal with major management and operational matters of the school and will not interfere in situations between students. These matters are handled by the student union and class teachers.

"Yes, because this matter is so important. When I was in dire straits, I suddenly thought that the chairman could be someone I could ask for help."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly, took out a printed record sheet from his pocket and showed it to Nanyun Masa.

"Fortunately, the chairman is a very gentle person and quickly agreed to my request, so I was able to obtain this information smoothly. Senior Nanyun, would you like to take a look?"

"Just tell me who printed the email."

Nan Yunya's tone dropped several degrees. He was thinking quickly about how to deal with this matter. If he wanted to distance himself from it, what other methods were there?

"Okay, then I'll just announce it!"

Hikaru Hashima turned around and posted the printed document on the blackboard, displaying it to all the students below.

"Wait, this is a second-year senior, right?"

"Yeah, could he be the real murderer?"

The students recognized the name instantly because they had previously held a full-grade integrated training exam to integrate the three grades. Many first-year students were very familiar with their second- and third-year seniors and could call out many of them by name.

"Yes, and it seems that he is a student in President Nanyun's class..."

"This……"

Some students reacted immediately, but looking at the golden-haired boy standing in front of the second-grade students, they didn't know how to express it for a moment.

"Noda Shunwa-senpai, this is a student from Nanyun-senpai's class. How do you plan to explain this?"

Hashima Hikaru looked at Nanyun Miyabi and his tone became much more serious.

“…Is it actually him?”

An expression of shock appeared on Nan Yunya's face, as if it was completely beyond his expectations.

"Senior, are you trying to say that you don't know?"

Hashima Hikaru raised his eyebrows slightly. Nan Yunya's reaction was within his expectations. It was impossible for him to admit it so easily.

"Of course I didn't know. If I knew, I would definitely stop this guy from doing such a terrible thing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a boy with ordinary looks walked out from the noisy group of students from Class A of Grade 2. After he walked out, all the students below focused their attention on him, and everyone was very curious.

"Did you do this?"

Nan Yunya looked directly into the other person's eyes, as if he had become a judge with the power of decision.

"Can I explain this to you, Nagumo-san... and Vice President Hashima?"

Although he was being watched by everyone, Noda Shunkazu was not only a student in Class A of the second grade, but also a veteran of the student council. He had outstanding abilities and was naturally not frightened by such a situation.

"Please explain, Senior. After all, we all want to know the truth, and we will never wrongly accuse anyone. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as what this criminal did?"

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly and acted very generous.

"I did use the printer on that day, but isn't it too absolute to say that I am the culprit for posting the message based on that?"

Noda glanced at the rebellious Nanyun Miyabi with a calm expression. "I'm in the same department as Sakayanagi-san. Seeing that she received this email, it's understandable that she'd be interested in it, right? Does that make me the culprit?"

"That's true. Just printing the email doesn't prove that Noda-senpai is the culprit."

"Then what do you mean by acting like this?"

"Haha, what Noda-senpai said was exactly what I expected. In order not to wrongly accuse you, we have made a lot of preparations."

Hashima Hikaru showed a very confident look, which naturally made Nanyun Masa and Noda Shunkazu's expressions change slightly. In fact, they were not sure at all and were just holding on.

"Since Noda-senpai said he printed the email out of curiosity, then what's the deal with this anonymous ID?"

Hikaru Hashima took out another piece of information from his pocket, which was also known through Sakayanagi Narimori's authority and was the real killer move.

"Even if you give ten thousand reasons, I want to emphasize that no matter how anonymous you are, as long as you use the school's internal network, the forum's anonymity function is just a decoration."

The boy picked up his cell phone and made a gesture as if to dial a number.

"ID registration requires a mobile phone number. Do you want me to call this number? If Noda-senpai's phone rings, what reason do you think you have to deny it?"

After these words were spoken, Nan Yunya's feigned calmness finally broke down.

The man's face turned pale and his hands clenched into fists.

This is desperate.

533

Chapter 533: Nan Yunya decided to fight to the death.

After Hashima Hikaru picked up his phone and declared the last sentence, the entire venue suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the few people on the podium, looking forward to the final result.

"Want me to call this number? Noda-senpai."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the second-grade boy who had been pretending to be calm just now became very unhappy. He pinched his drooping palm with his thumb and bit his lip, not knowing how to respond.

"Looks like there's no way to deny it. Really, if you dare to do it, you must dare to take responsibility. That's what a man should do."

Without any hesitation, Mitsuru Hashima looked past Shunkazu Noda and locked onto the equally gloomy face of Masaru Nanuno.

"Nanyun-senpai, since Noda-senpai is a student in your class, how do you think we should deal with him after he did something like this?"

The young man kept asking, his tone threatening.

"This is different from what we are doing now. Gathering classmates and locking the door does not violate the student handbook or campus regulations. However, spreading rumors about classmates and causing a huge impact is strictly prohibited by school regulations. Just like using violence, it must be punished."

"Indeed, that's true. Putting aside the fact that the person he's spreading rumors about is a first-year girl, the number of views and reposts alone on this post is terrifying, isn't it?"

While Nan Yunya was silent, Kiriyama Ikuha, the representative of Class B of the second grade, had already walked up to the podium. He stood next to Noda Shunkazu and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Noda is still a member of the student union. Your actions have strictly violated the student handbook and campus regulations, and go against the original intention of student union members. We absolutely cannot allow students like you to continue to stay in the student union!"

"That's right!"

"It's really him! What a disgusting senior! He actually spread rumors about Ichinose-san."

“Must be punished!”

In addition to the people that Hashima Hikaru had arranged in advance among the student group, many girls took the initiative to express their opinions and unanimously issued severe accusations and condemnations against the boy named Noda Shunkazu.

"Nagumo, as the president of the student council, you should know how to handle this matter, right?"

As the last person to speak, Horikita Manabu's statement became the decisive factor.

"Horikita-senpai...this incident really surprised me. I didn't expect there would be such a student in our class. It's really too much!"

Nan Yunya glanced at the people around him. Public opinion was overwhelming, and there was no way for him to cover up even if he wanted to.

Moreover, this matter also involves the involvement of the chairman of the board. If he blatantly violates the rules, it is more likely that he will put himself in a passive situation.

"According to the student handbook and campus regulations, there must be punishment for doing something like this."
