COTE: A Man On A Mission II Love is War?

Then, She stood up and looked at Komiya and the others.
　　
"Are you sure your current injuries were caused by Sudo-kun?" Suzune asked with a suspicious look.

"Yes, Sudo's attack was neither light nor heavy. We were in pain for a while!" Ishizaki Daichi cried, as if still feeling the punches, and vomiting blood in the karaoke room.

"Oh, and you are saying that Sudo-kun was the one, who injured you like this?" Suzune immediately understood.
　　
"Then please drop out of school." She said with a cold expression and then looked at Horikita Manabu.

Although it is very stressful to face my brother directly. But.
　　
Perhaps my performance just now made him want me to drop out of school again.

So, Suzune still wants to gain the other party's approval. After taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth.

"I want to plead not guilty for my classmate. Because everything is a false accusation by the students of Class C."

"Also, they planned the beating incident at the beginning, and now, everyone happens to be here, so the Student Council President, I would like to appeal to punish the false accusation incident of Class C of the first grade!" After saying this, Horikita Suzune raised her head stubbornly, looking at her brother with fire burning in her eyes.

　
And, the Student council president finally changed his stance.
　　
Although, he didn't react when he saw his sister being tickled just now, but now, he seems to be taking a stand.

But. "Hey, hey, hey..." Hearing Horikita's voice, the head teacher of Class C, a slightly thin man wearing glasses, immediately looked over.
　　
"Please don't make such false accusations against students in our class without authorization!" the man said quickly, didn't expect such an appeal from Class D students.

"This is the exchange and struggle of the students. As teachers, we shouldn't interfere, right? Digital teacher on the board." However, Chabashira-sensei intercepted and said from above, with a small grin on her lips.

"..." Numbers on the board. 'What happened to Chabashira Sae? Her attack power suddenly increased?'

She is already taking charge of Class D students for the second time. In this school, strength comes first, and so do the teachers, whose salaries are also linked to their classes.

As the head teacher of Class C, the number on the board is always on guard against Chabashira.

But. She did nothing the previous term. In other words, it had no offensive power before.
　　
Results now. Has the output started? Did you acquire a hidden gem or what? Sakagami-sensei was not impressed.

(A/N: I'm leaving Numbers on the board as it is, it sounds funny lol)

　　
"What evidence is there to prove Sudo's innocence?" Horikita Manabu asked, not being affected by Sakagami-sensei's outbursts in the slightlest, "Don't change the subject without authorization."

"We have witnesses of Sudo-kun's fight." Suzune said. "In other words, eyewitnesses.... It can be confirmed that Daichi Ishizaki, Komiya, and Kondo of Class C deliberately framed Sudo-kun.”
　　
“And they even made false accusations in return! This is injustice to our Class D!” She said this, deliberately in a slightly louder voice than before.

"Yes, yes! I must have been wronged!"
Sudo, the said victim, who had been unable to join the conversation, immediately started to give his own two pieces, “Komiya and the others are jealous that I became an official member of the basketball club when I was still a freshman. So they must be trying to mess with me!"

He realised that the tide was turning, so he shouted with all his might.

But obviously, his defense did not get to the core.

"This kind of thing is impossible." Ishizaki Daichi said quickly. "We are the innocent ones. Everyone knows that Sudo is violent. And our injuries are still there!"

In fact, they had already rehearsed for this trial.
　　
But the content in it was for them to accuse Sudo, but now this counter-defendant's false accusation has completely fooled them.
　　
Because this is not according to the script. Can't handle the play. Of course, everyone is not a professional actor like our little angel Kushida-san.

_______

“What's wrong, Kikyo-chan? You looked a little upset just now. Are we really going to lose?” Mii-chan asked in a worried tone.

“..." Kushida, she was talking to her best friend Mei-yu Wang, about what will be the result of Sudo's trial and if their class will lose points.

“Eh...ah no, I just thought that someone was praising me in a....very rude way!” Kushida-san was quite irritated, her woman's intuition was tingling like crazy.

"..." Author-san. Oh, did you have superpowers too? He was a little scared now while typing.

___________

"Do you have any evidence? Rather, you said there are witnesses. Let him come out and have a look!" said the Number on the board. "Or, you just want to deceive the students in our class?”

"And even if you find the so-called witness at random, it may be false!"

“And if it is perjury, then we, Class C, will definitely hold you accountable!"  Number on the board shouted in anger.

Full combat power. But he was a little afraid in his heart, if something goes wrong here....then yeah.

“Hey! Sakagami-sensei! Am I being persecuted?!” Class C teacher's mobile phone yelled at his owner, he was really horrified by this situation.

"...." Sakagami-sensei. He patted his small child over his pocket, trying to give some comfort.

"Number on the board!" Chabashira-sensei looked over in anger.
　　
Because the teacher on the board has started to interfere in the affairs between the students.

The other party is already an adult and was also from this school in the past.
　　
So. The brain is also bright. Start helping Ishizaki Daichi and the others.
　　
Because first-year Class D spent the last week looking for witnesses to Sudo's fight.

Unfortunately, even with so much help and even using the student council's bulletin board, no witnesses were found.

So based on this, the numbers on the board reminded them that the current rhetoric may be just a defense method of Class D, used to deceive their truth.

So, let Ishizaki Daichi and the others never say the wrong thing. And the other party probably understood.
　　
Because if it is proven that Class C made a false accusation, the consequences will be serious.
　　
Even to the point where he couldn't accept it. 'So, I want to save my child.'

The above is the digital teacher on the board of Class C, launching a debate on both sides of the trial.

Generally speaking, both sides can prepare defenders. But there is none here in Class C.

On the one hand, in addition to Ryuen's arrangements, there is also the presence of reliable, Numbers on the board, their head teacher. He will try his best to guide Class C.
　　
Ryuen's ability to integrate classes so quickly was partly due to his own methods, but also the secret support of the Numbers on the board.
　　
In other words, he believes that his favourite student can go up this term.
　　
And if he can rush forward, he can also get a lot of benefits, such as increase in salary, and at the same time, he can gain some dignity.

Because Class C and Class D are similar, they are both garbage classes, so Sakagami-sensei has no face.
　　...

"Speak with evidence." Horikita Manabu said while remaining calm. "If it's a witness, then call it out. If it's evidence, show it."

If it was a debate, I could only say so.
　　
Incidents of fights between students are nothing new, and there is a set of procedures for handling them.
　　
However, since it is now a code of conduct test, the deduction of points will be heavier.

Result. Are there any surprises now?
　　
But Horikita Manabu no longer paid attention to his sister, he set his sights on another person.

The boy has not shown his own opinion yet.

Previously, the other party took the initiative to destroy the monitoring and expose the class evaluation scores, but now if it was just a fight, Horikita Manabu felt that the other party had other operations and should not just do nothing.

And under the watchful eye of Horikita Manabu.
　　
"Then there is." Hikigaya-kun, who had just changed seats with Teacher Chabashira and tickled the sister of the Student council president, in front of everyone, took the initiative to speak.
　　
"Horikita Suzune is the witness, and this is the information she recorded." Hachiman said such horrible things with this poisonous mouth. Then take out a camera's sd card.

"..." Horikita Manabu did not reply immediately.
　　
Instead, he looked at Tachibana Akane.

She understood immediately and went to collect the SD card.
　　
Then the device operation was performed to show the contents of the sd card onto the projector.

"..." Sakagami-sensei, remained calm but his mobile phone didn't stop yelling at him, even more terrified than before.

“Sakagami-sensei!” His child cried in despair.

In fact, it has been discovered that the situation has become dangerous.
　　
Because, if you are just an eyewitness, you may not come forward to testify for one reason or another.

However, if it is recorded material or something...is this kind of thing scary?
　　
Because once this kind of information is exposed, it will be an absolute disadvantage for Class C.
　　
Then the evidence can be used to refute the trial from the beginning.
　　
Instead of delaying it until now...even the Student council president is here!
　
That is to say. Was Class C actually the one who got cheated? This kind of thing.....
　　
Teacher Sakagami thought of the terrible situation, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

　　....

With the operation of Secretary Tachibana, the content recorded on the SD card has been projected.
　　
A few first-year Class C students stayed in the special experimental teaching building.
　　
"Don't worry, he will come." A brown-haired delinquent threw the cigarette at his feet and stamped it out, saying with disdain, "The kind of idiot who will be angered by a casual word, how can he not after seeing the letter we wrote?”

"That's true." The delinquent with medium-long red hair who spoke at the beginning also laughed, "If this guy wasn't so stupid, how could we frame him?"
　　
“Hey, stop saying those words!" Class C Ishizaki Daichi scolded, "Sudo is coming soon, so be careful not to be overheard by him. Otherwise, Ryuen-san's plan will be ruined, and we won't get any good results."

"I understand." Hearing Ryuen's name, the brown-haired delinquent trembled slightly and nodded.

"Asshole! Where are you? Come out!"
Just as Kondo was about to speak, an angry voice came from the stairs below.
　　
Then it was complete, Sudo was held up, and then beaten by Ishizaki Daichi, and then only he started to fight back.
　　
Seeing such a scene, Ishizaki Daichi and the others also had fear on their faces.
　　
Because this was Ryuen's plan from the very beginning, they attacked Sudo first, and... the injuries sustained when both parties left were filmed.

In other words...

When they were separated, they didn't have any of these injuries on their bodies, so when they went to the hospital later and asked them to examine the injuries, it would be revealed that they were intentional.
　　
"Fuck! So I was framed!" Sudo was quite furious, after seeing that.

Originally, he had been thinking of being more restrained and trying hard without deducting points, so he was acting in self-defense.

As a result, it’s not even self-defense now, but it was framed in the first place!

Because Ishizaki and the others in the video said this was Ryuen’s plan. In other words, it’s the abominable Ryuen!

This bastard! Sudo wanted to hang this guy up.

"Everyone, calm down." Horikita Manabu warned Sudo, to stop lashing out like an angry dog, "The evidence is now conclusive."

"The incident of first-year class C accusing Sudo of beating someone was classified as a false accusation."
　　
"As usual, 100 points of class evaluation points will be deducted." Horikita Manabu declared in a powerful voice, "However, this involves the wastage of time of the Student council, so I will deduct an additional 100 points."

"At the same time, because it is in the code of conduct test, the severity of this matter will also increase, so the amount deducted will be twice of the total deduction. And this punishment, is also issued by the Student council.” This statement silenced the small whimpering of the students of Class C.

"...." Quiet.

“Sakagami-sensei! It's all that bastard Ryuen's fault?!” Someone's very angry voice was heard among the deliberation room.

"..." Numbers on the board, lowered his head, after realising it was his own mobile phone, which was yelling at him in utter despair and full of hatred.

Because doesn't it mean deducting 100, adding 100 and then doubling it again to get 400 points?

"Why is this..." Ishizaki Daichi and the others immediately looked at the digital teacher on the board.

But his face has turned pale, and started patting the right pocket of his pants. 　

But the Student council president was not finished yet, "Then, after the results are announced, the class evaluation scores will be announced the next day, and then your first-year Class C will become Class D. It’s the first time I have encountered this situation in the mid-term.”

This statement directly broke some people's fragile hearts.

Because a class fell down in the first month after enrolling. This is also the first time for the school.

But. "There must be something wrong with this!" Sakagami-sensei didn't want to give up, he wanted to complain "I think there must be something wrong somewhere!"

"Then what's the problem? Teacher Sakagami, as a class teacher, your current behavior has crossed the line." Horikita Manabu said in a cold tone, as if disappointed at a professional's behaviour.

"This..." The digital on the board also understood, it's over. There is no hope.

Because this school is different from the outside world, the student council has great power, sometimes even more than the faculty.

So in some cases, they, the head teachers, are not as good as the Student council president.

"Then, since we already have this kind of evidence, why didn't they reveal it earlier, instead of bringing it out at this point." But Sakagami-sensei was fighting for his child here.

So, how could he give up like this,"So I suspect this is also a conspiracy of Class D!"

Yeah, just throw this pot away on the opponent's head!

He doesn't want this kind of dangerous stuff, Sakagami-sensei felt like taking drugs was much safer than this pot full of poison!

"They deliberately wanted to cause trouble, and this is all that girl, Horikita Suzune's fault!" This is a reasonable explanation.
　　
At the same time, everyone immediately looked at the witness Horikita Suzune, who was just named.

This fox-eyed girl. Because, since she is an eyewitness, she has never provided evidence, and then brought it out on such an important occasion.

Is it just to make Class C's punishment more severe?

Do you know, how terrible this is?! Are Class D's students so scary this year?

Have no shame?! But.
　　
"..." Horikita Suzune. She looked at her father sitting beside him, utterly dumbfounded.

Who was the witness again?! She didn't even know that they had some  kind of ghost evidence like this, before today's morning?!

She was complaining crazily in her heart. 

Horikita Suzune, who is always alone, has become accustomed to being alone.

At the same time, she does not pay attention to other people's eyes, so now that everyone is looking at her, she can still remain quiet.

However, this is not the case inside.
　　
Because, Suzune was doubting life.
　　
She didn't know why Hikigaya-kun would blame her even though he was the witness!

It's like throwing the blame on her head. But now there can be no denial.
　　
"That's probably because Horikita  didn't expect you, Class C to be so shameless." At this time, Hikigaya-kun spat some words full of venom, “You actually aggravated your injuries and then framed the students in our class!"
　　
“Your class C has no bottom line from the beginning. And we, Class D, have always fought back like a victim should. Isn't this what you said, Student council president?" Hachiman asked from a higher person, even using the President's name for his explanation.

So, everyone turned their attention to the student council president.
　　
The President has long since stopped resting his chin on the back of his hand. He knew this guy was poisonous.

Manabu gently pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and declared again, "The ruling stands.”
　　
This means that the requirements for punishment will not be changed.
　　
"As for Class C, first grade, although the school puts strength first, it will also allow some simulations to enter the society in advance, but there are some actions that will not benefit you even if you enter the society. I hope you can learn from it. " With that said, the Student council president walked out directly.

"President!"

Secretary Tachibana glanced here, but quickly followed, with her notebook in hand.
　　
However, this also marked the end of the trial.

　　...

"In other words, not only am I not guilty, but Class C was deducted 400 points?" Sudo finally realized it at this time. "So our class actually got promoted?" He was astonished by this result.

Are there really such good things?
　
"Of course" Hachiman agreed with this relieved child, "Sudo, you endured the humiliation and persisted in self-defense and maintained the score of the class. I am very touched."

"Hey!" Sudo suddenly felt proud, "I just said, I was in self-defense, there's no problem with me!"

"Damn you, Ryuen!" So it must have been this guy's fault.
　　
"By the way, have you ever had any issues with this person named, Ryuen?" Hachiman continued to ask.
　　
Generally speaking, it is a bad thing to ask the victim, because the perpetrator is definitely at fault.
　　
But. If there is absolutely no connection, then it is difficult to say.
　　
The reason why Ryuen chose Sudo to attack was...
　　
"This..." Sudo Ken's expression seemed a little embarrassed. And this must be because he was bullied by Ryuen in private.
　　
Because even though Sudo looked rough and fierce but is actually a softy inside his heart.
　　
Hachiman saw this on his first day of school.

"Hikigaya-kun." Horikita Suzune looked towards him at this time.
　　
Because. Although her class won the trial in the end, she did not forget that she was not informed at all that the other party had obtained evidence of Sudo's fight, and she only really knew that he had evidence 10 minutes before the trial.

Result. Just now, Suzune was treated as a witness without being informed by the other party.

So, she was thinking about where she was placed by the other party in his heart.

Not trusted? Suzune was not happy at all.

Hachiman did not reply to Horikita at this time, but looked at Sudo who gained some insight at this time. "I'm leaving first. Thank you, Horikita, for helping me record the evidence, otherwise I would have had problems."

With that said, he ran away like a wind.
　　
Because of the beating incident, he was not only criticized by his classmates in class, but also did not get along well in the club.
　　
The president directly canceled his status as a regular player.

And now, to tell the senior students the results announced by the student council, there is absolutely no problem with his character!
　　
There is no problem with his physical fitness, and there is absolutely no problem with his pursuit of basketball!

_________

In this way.
　
Both, Hachiman and Horikita also walked out of the room.

Came to the corridor. He paused for a moment and replied to what Horikita had just said about her being a witness.

"This was my plan. Our goal is to be promoted to Class A. It's just that this is where Hirata and Kushida excel, but you are not very popular in the class yet."

"So I have to make some good impression for you, so that it will be much easier to direct my classmates in the next exam."

This sentence was.... true.

Hachiman broke the camera.

Although the impact was eliminated by Hirata, in the perception of some students, he is still a very bad person.
　　
And then, as the leader, some students won't listen to him.  So if you praise another person, the effect may be different.

If this is the reason, then Horikita Suzune can accept it.
　　
Hachiman continued to treat her wounds, "Also your brother would be here today. So, obviously.... you want to do something."
　　
"That is to say...the fact that you controlled Class C and then counterattacked them is on you" He concluded and looked at this girl.
　　
"A-are you trying to save my face in front of my big brother?” Horikita Suzune's tone trembled slightly.

"I'm very grateful for this,” She took a deep breath and then continued, “but my brother must think that I am still incompetent. So, I'll do my best next time.” Suzune then shook her head gently, refusing to accept Hachiman's credit like this.

Really? Indeed. Suzune is a proud person, and wouldn't accept something like this.

So, when she intuitively felt some intense stares from unknown people  who were very, far far away.....

Suzune still remained her aloof expression.

"..." Chabashira, she also stared here with her eyes slightly warm.

She felt that Horikita was a bit like her past self, but still there's a difference.'Because, I was not as easily deceived as this child!'
