Kapitel 75: -75- Willing to do what I can
Not long after, it was time to finish school.
Class D seemed to be having a heated discussion about the violence incident announced earlier in the morning.
Even though Hori stated that nobody needed to worry about it, as it concerned class points and personal points, the students in the class couldn't calm down.
While everyone was worried, Hori, as the person involved, remained as indifferent as ever, doing whatever he needed to do without paying much attention to the situation. This attitude irritated many.
In fact, the students in the class were the real innocent ones in this situation. Because of the game between Hori and Ryuen Kakeru, both Class C and Class D were involved, and even Classes A and B had their personal points distribution delayed. All four classes were affected.
This reflected the school's significant concern about violence incidents or any competition among students. This might have led to such a situation.
From this perspective, the students in the class were merely collateral damage, and it's understandable why they were upset.
During this time, both Hirata Yousuke and Kushida Kikyou consulted Hori more than once, but all they got was the same response: "Just don't worry about it."
Hori's response left Hirata and Kushida feeling quite helpless.
Especially Kushida, who didn't expect herself to be the cause of the violence incident, felt guilty and kept apologizing to Hori. However, in this incident, Kushida had done nothing wrong, so Hori couldn't accept her apology.
As a result, Class D seemed unable to stay idle. They even tried to gather information from other classes to see if anyone witnessed the incident.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Class D students asked, the information they received was very limited. It was certain that someone occasionally witnessed Hori and the three others from Class C entering the special education building.
Apart from that, there was no other useful information.
Even Kushida Kikyou went to Class C to gather information. However, like Class D students, Class C students considered themselves victims and not only didn't provide any information but also accused Class D students of being deceived by Hori.
In this situation, what could they gain?
Class D found themselves in a dilemma.
Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka watched the situation clearly but didn't intervene.
"This violence incident is serious or not depends on how it's handled in the end. However, if it's just a fight, both sides will definitely be punished. I don't think there will be any new developments," Horikita Suzune analyzed calmly.
Basically, Horikita Suzune wasn't wrong.
In fact, it's difficult to determine who the aggressor and the victim are in a fight.
Even if someone witnesses the fight, as long as they are not involved, in the eyes of a third party, both sides of the fight have problems, right?
And even if one side is at fault, it's difficult to determine who is right and wrong after the fight. Even if there are witnesses, whose side they will favor is also a problem.
So, campus violence seems to be a topic for post-dinner small talk for bystanders, but actually solving it is very difficult.
Unlike murder, where the law clearly states who should bear all the responsibility and punishment, this kind of incident is the most difficult to resolve.
Horikita Suzune didn't have high hopes for the development of this incident.
As for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, his statement was even more straightforward.
"Anyway, Nanaya definitely has some thoughts."
Therefore, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka adhered to his usual seclusionism and kept himself out of the event.
From this perspective, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was similar to Kouenji Rokusuke; both wouldn't intervene in collective interests without a reason.
Of course, Hori wasn't any better.
But Hori indeed didn't take any obvious action in response to the situation.
While the students in the class were worrying about it, Hori picked up his bag after school and left the classroom.
However, as Hori was about to return to the dormitory, someone stopped him.
"Seems like you've got yourself into trouble, Nanaya-kun," said the person who followed him out of the school building, Ichinose Honami.
"I heard from Hoshinomiya-sensei that you were involved in a violence incident, right?"
Ichinose Honami, as always, expressed her thoughts directly without any calculation.
This made Hori somewhat amused.
"Involved...?" Hori chuckled and continued walking, saying, "According to you, you seem pretty sure that I'm not the perpetrator."
"Yeah." Ichinose Honami caught up with him, walking beside him, and smiled. "Because, Nanaya-kun, I don't think you're someone who would resort to violence."
It's quite a profound misunderstanding, Ichinose.
If harming others counts as violence, then I've learned violence since I was four years old.
Moreover, Ichinose Honami probably didn't just think Hori was innocent because he didn't seem like someone who would resort to violence, right?
The main reason was that among the parties involved, there was Class C, and among Class C, there was Ryuen Kakeru, whom Ichinose Honami considered extremely dangerous and ruthless. That's why she believed Hori was the one who got involved.
So, although Ichinose Honami is very honest, she also has her own thoughts.
Being a leader in Class B, honesty alone is not enough.
That's how Ichinose Honami, who didn't know what Hori was thinking, expressed herself.
"Do you need help?" Ichinose Honami looked at Hori and said, "If you need help, I'm willing to do what I can."
This statement, Ichinose Honami said extremely sincerely.
To this, Hori just responded with a smile.
"Are you looking to team up with me against Ryuen?"
That's the reason Hori could think of.
For Class B, Class C, which has been biting them, is a big threat.
Ichinose Honami wants to help Hori, probably to thwart the conspiracy of Class C and strike back at them?
Ichinose Honami didn't deny that she had this idea.
"I indeed don't want to see Class C's conspiracy succeed, and I've always been wary of Ryuen, but my desire to help Nanaya-kun is also genuine."
Ichinose Honami sighed.
"Events like this, no one knows when they will happen to whom. Because this school pits classes against each other, it's always pregnant with the danger of conflict. This incident is just a representation. If the lying side wins, it's a big problem."
Saying this, Ichinose Honami suddenly smiled.
"Moreover, personally, now that I know about this, I can't just ignore it."
That's the reason Ichinose Honami gave.
