Airi turned red as several students, mainly from Class D, turned towards her. She gasped silently, avoiding his gaze.

If the student council president acted, there would be nothing we could do even if we didn't like it. He enrolled in Class A and immediately took over as the student council secretary. In December of his freshman year, he became student council president after receiving an overwhelming amount of support in the election. Although some upperclassmen had naturally expressed their discontent, our current desperate situation spoke of their incredible abilities.

The students who were unaware of the exploits of the current president were dumbstruck. Becoming a secretary when he was just a freshman? Also, win the presidential election by a landslide?

His respect and admiration for the man grew even more. His attitude and actions towards his sister, forgotten.

It seems the students admire and respect you more, senpai." Nagumo said. He looked at Manabu with the same reverence as the others.

Horikita felt her admiration for her brother grow more. In addition, her determination to walk by her brother's side, to be praised and proud, grew.

Secretary Tachibana summed up the situation on both sides in an easy-to-understand manner. There was no need for further explanation.

"Based on the aforementioned facts, we would like you to identify which version of events is true."

After completing her explanation and the preface of the procedures, Secretary Tachibana turned her gaze towards us in Class D.

"Komiya-kun and two other members of the basketball club went to the special building after Sudou-kun called them there. There, they claim to have been beaten in a one-sided fight. Is that true?"

"Why don't they just check the phone of the people involved? Wouldn't that be easier?" Inogashira asked.

"It is, but if the victim was called out verbally, then it's useless." Katsuragi replied.

"Whether Sudo-kun is or not, whoever called them wasn't the problem in the first place." Sakayanagi said.

"Huh? I thought that was the point?" Chihiro said.

Sakayanagi smiled at him, "The problem was who started the fight. Calling out a person just doesn't make you the instigator of the fight. It's always who hits who first. Acting on the words of the bully just makes you feel bad." puts you". in a disadvantageous position."

"What those guys said was a lie. I was the one who was called to the special building," Sudou said.

That day, after practice, Komiya and Kondou asked me to go to the special building. Honestly, I thought it was a bit annoying, but I also thought it might have been because they were always hostile to me. So, I went to meet them. "

Sudou was not one to mince words. Normally, Horikita would have been disgusted by his casual way of speaking, but judging from her trembling, she didn't hear him at all. Sakagami-sensei, the homeroom teacher of Class C, looked on with wide eyes in astonishment.

"What's more amazing is that you completely side with your students despite knowing the whole truth." Karuizawa said.

"Karuizawa-san, saying that to a teacher is neither nice nor rude." Hirata chided her.

"What? I just said what everyone is thinking." Karuizawa fought back.

"And it's not that she's wrong, Hirata-kun" Sakayanagi said. "Just us students, there is also a silent competition among the class teachers, over who will graduate from Class A after three years."
