บท 74: Chapter 74 Camera Becomes A Topic Of Discussion

"I don't think Nanaya-san would do something like that,"

Kushida Kikyou showed complete trust in front of all the classmates.

As the little angel of class D, she was able to display such unconditional trust, which must have been dazzling to the eyes of those in the class.

Only Fang Li knew why Kushida Kikyou had such unconditional trust in him.

It was because this girl had self-awareness.

Kushida Kikyou should have been very clear that Fang Li, as someone who had seen her true face, would not be jealous for her, right?

In fact, Kushida Kikyou really thought so.

"Although there is no evidence, I know what kind of person Nanaya-san is, and I don't think he would fight for me," Kushida Kikyou secretly glanced at Fang Li and said, "So I hope everyone can also believe in Nanaya-san, there must be some misunderstanding here."

What misunderstanding?

Of course, it was caused by the people in the class.

"Is Kushida-chan saying that the class is falsely accusing Nanaya?" asked Ike Kanji, who seemed to be jealous of Kushida Kikyou's defense of Fang Li.

"But it's also possible that Nanaya himself doesn't want to admit that he did such a thing, right?" Ike Kanji said, perhaps without any malicious intent, just feeling that something was strange.

Many boys in the class seemed to agree with Ike Kanji's words for this reason.

What a group of naive people.

As a result, he didn't become jealous of anyone, but others became jealous of him.

This was probably due to the male students in the class accumulating grievances over time.

After all, Fang Li and Kushida Kikyou had been getting closer during this period, going to school together every day, and even returning to the dormitory together many times. To outsiders, it seemed like they had a very close relationship.

This fact was used by Ryuuen Kakeru, which led to the excuse for the violent incident.

Now, this has become the only factor that made the students in the class doubt Fang Li.

If it weren't for jealousy, the students in class D couldn't imagine that Fang Li was capable of violence.

At least, many boys thought so.

"Ayanokouji, do you think so too?"

Even Yamauchi Haruki was planning to drag Ayanokouji Kiyotaka into this.

"....Well, there's always that possibility,"

Replied Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who seemed as unobtrusive as ever. He didn't want to attract too much attention and just followed the topic, reducing his presence to a minimum.

Horikita Suzune noticed this and cast a disdainful glance at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who turned his head away.

At this moment, it was Sudou Ken who spoke up for Fang Li, while rising his arm.

"I don't think Nanaya would fight with anyone. He looks weak and doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would fight," said Sudou Ken.

Perhaps only Sudou Ken could say such things.

But in a way, Sudou Ken wasn't wrong.

Fang Li never fought, only kills.

And since Sudou Ken, who was good at fighting, had said that, the students in the class believed it to some extent.

"I want to believe in Nanaya-san too," said Hirata Yousuke to everyone in the class. "If it was someone from another class, I could understand being suspicious, but it's not right to be suspicious of a fellow classmate from the beginning. So, I hope everyone can believe in Nanaya-san."

Hirata Yousuke's girlfriend was the first to express agreement with him.

"Well, if Yousuke says so, I don't object," said Karuizawa Kei, in agreement with Hirata Yousuke.

Now, everyone in the class was leaning towards the belief that Fang Li was innocent.

Hirata Yousuke, Kushida Kikyou, and Karuizawa Kei were the center characters of D-class and had a high degree of influence over their classmates.

Just like last time when the Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken, faced expulsion, it was the three of them who ultimately brought the entire class together.

Now, the three of them spoke up again, and even if their classmates had different thoughts in their minds, they would certainly agree on the surface.

Even Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki could only express their discontent with their agreement.

Except for special cases like Kouenji Rokusuke.

"Using violence is not beautiful at all, but what you all are doing is quite interesting. Let me sit back in the audience and see how this farce will play out."

With an air of arrogance, Kouenji Rokusuke shook his head and expressed his intention to remain a spectator.

Of course, no one in the class expected this self-centered classmate to do anything.

In class 1-D, aside from Fang Li and Horikita Suzune, Kouenji Rokusuke was the most isolated.

Since the beginning of the school year, he had not shown any respect for anyone, except those who were attracted to Kouenji's wealth and tried to flatter him. No one else wanted to approach him.

The class then began to shift the topic towards proving Fang Li's innocence.

"How can we prove that Nanaya is innocent?"

"The sensei said we need to find evidence before next Tuesday, right?"

"But where can we find evidence?"

"Has no one witnessed what happened?"

The students discussed this and that.

No one noticed that the head of Sakura Airi sitting quietly next to Fang Li became lower and lower when someone mentioned "Has no one witnessed what happened?"

Although no one noticed this, Horikita Suzune noticed the clue that was closely related to it.

"By the way, you were playing with a camera all day yesterday, weren't you?" Horikita Suzune looked directly at Fang Li as if trying to see through his mind and said frankly, "The day before you were playing with the camera, you had a dispute with students from C-class. Does that camera have an important connection to this incident?"

This statement by Horikita Suzune made Sakura Airi clench her fingers tightly, and her fingertips seemed to turn white.

Unfortunately, the students in the class were still attracted to this incident.

"What camera?"

"Is it a camera that captured the scene?"

"That's the best evidence!"

"Take it out quickly!"

The students in the class spoke one after another.

Until...

"You don't need to worry about this matter."

Fang Li finally lifted his eyelids and glanced at everyone present, saying,

"Just focus on your own tasks."

After finishing his sentence, Fang Li did not say anything else.

This made the students in the class confused.

"What about the camera?" Horikita Suzune pursued, "Don't you want to explain it?"

"There's nothing to explain. That's my business." Fang Li replied indifferently, "Besides, that camera is broken. I will take it to be repaired on my holiday. You don't need to worry about it."

"....Is that so?" Horikita Suzune fell silent for a moment, and then replied disinterestedly, "Then it's up to you."

The discussion about the incident ended here.

Seeing that Fang Li himself did not take this matter to heart, the students in the class were also indecisive, and could only continue to complain.

In the midst of these complaints, only Sakura Airi lowered her head and muttered to herself.

"On holiday..."
