"Still," Hirata was not convinced.

"Sakagami-kun, they're talking totally bad about you. Is that okay with you?" Hoshinomiya laughed.

The older man was unfazed, "What's the point? Whatever Sakayanagi said was true after all. As a teacher, our duty is to guide and support our students without revealing the school system ourselves, and definitely not to interfere with the class competition based on a small grudge that happened years ago."

Hoshinomiya's eye twitches. 'tch.'

That's a lie. Sudou-kun called us to the special building."

"Don't fuck with me, Komiya! You were the one who called me, idiot!"

"You don't seem to remember your position here." Sudou, irritated, impulsively hit his desk. Immediate silence followed.

"Please calm down, Sudou-kun. Right now, we're just listening to what both sides have to say. Komiya-kun, we ask that you also show restraint and don't interrupt."

"Uh, well..."

"Both parties insist that the other called them, so the accounts conflict. However, the stories share something in common. There was a dispute between Sudou-kun, Komiya-kun, and Kondou-kun, correct?"

"I wouldn't call it a dispute. Sudou-kun is always fighting with us."

"Looking for fights"?

"Sudou is better at basketball than us, so he always brags about it. We practice with everything we've got, but he doesn't exactly feel good when he makes a fool of us. So we often clash."

I didn't really know the details of Sudou's club activities, but when I saw the veins appearing on his forehead, it was pretty obvious that they were lying. Next, the secretary Tachibana spoke to Sudou.

Yume frowned, "So-"

"It may seem obvious that they were lying, but logical reasoning cannot overcome the injuries that were seen on their bodies. Hard evidence is still needed." Ichinose interrupted Yume.

"Not one iota of what Komiya said was true. Those guys are just jealous of my talent. When I practice, they constantly get in my way. That's the truth."

Naturally, both parties claimed that the other party was at fault.

"Both parties have filed their complaints, but now we have to come to a trial with the evidence gathered."

"Sudou-kun beat us senseless. It was a one-sided fight."

"However, there were three of them and they still lost?" Shibata said.

"I heard that Ishizaki-kun was a great fighter in high school." Miyake added. "That seems suspicious."

"For them to call Ishizaki just because Sudo-kun called them was suspicious." Yukimura said.

Class C seemed determined to focus the discussion on their injuries. The three students seemed to have black and blue faces. That was undeniable.

"That's a lie. They attacked first. It was in self defense."

Haruka leaned towards Miyake and whispered, "I thought Ishizaki-kun was a delinquent in high school? How come he lost?"

Miyake shrugged, "It must have been for the purpose of framing Sudo-kun."

"Hey, Horikita," I whispered to Horikita, who remained speechless with her head down.

Clearly, this situation was really bad. If we wanted to prevent Sudou from getting carried away, we had to act sooner rather than later. However, she did not show any reaction. It was as if his mind had gone. Did the mere presence of his brother really have that much of an effect?
