All the students...
Hearing the shocking statement from Katsuragi Ren, everyone present fell into silence. Wasn't this going a bit too far?
However, Chie Hoshinomiya, sitting in the Class A audience seats, remained calm. She wasn't surprised at all by Katsuragi Ren's nonsense. She simply uncrossed and re-crossed her legs, which were feeling a bit sore.
Having entered the Chairman's office twice, snatching food frantically from the jaws of Chairman Sakayanagi, and finally successfully seizing a large piece of the cake—for Katsuragi Ren, saying something like this was perfectly normal.
From the start of school until now, whatever Katsuragi Ren did, his vision had already surpassed all the students present, and perhaps even the two teachers here.
So Chie wasn't worried about him. In fact, she even started calculating her own little plan in her heart.
She wondered if, as the homeroom teacher, she could get a share of the cake Katsuragi Ren had secured this time.
"All the students? Are you joking, Katsuragi-san?" Ryuen Kakeru was so angry he laughed. He didn't even bother to raise his hand and directly voiced his question to Katsuragi Ren.
When Katsuragi Ren said "all the students," how could Manabu Horikita, the Student Council President, and Akane Tachibana, the Student Council Secretary, fail to understand what exactly had happened between the two classes?
It was nothing more than Class C indeed stalking and tailing Class A, and Class A beginning to counterattack, even attempting to pin the crime of sexual harassment on the other party's head.
As members of the Student Council, all they could do was wait quietly for both sides to finish their debate before presenting their own thoughts and verdict.
Right now, all they could do was watch the show.
"President..." Akane Tachibana whispered, asking Manabu Horikita.
After receiving Manabu Horikita's tacit permission, Akane Tachibana no longer dwelled on Ryuen interrupting the meeting.
"Ryuen-san, do I look like I'm joking?" Katsuragi Ren narrowed his eyes with a smile.
At this moment, Katsuragi Ren was like a beast that had hunted its prey, baring his fangs and anticipating the wails and resistance of the prey under his claws.
Ryuen couldn't care about that right now.
The moment Katsuragi Ren said "all the students," he already understood what the sexual harassment claim was about.
Undoubtedly, Katsuragi Ren wanted to blow the matter up to maximize the benefits.
To think he had pondered so much before.
Suspecting whether he had issued the wrong orders, suspecting whether some of his subordinates really had unclean hands.
It turned out all his fantasies were wrong.
It could also be said...
This was intentional on Katsuragi Ren's part—intentionally said for them to hear.
The opponent was expecting his resistance, just like a cat that caught a mouse wouldn't kill it immediately but would try every means to toy with it first.
How truly arrogant...
Thinking this way, Ryuen's verbal defense didn't stop: "Leaving aside the fact that the defendants of Class C didn't sexually harass the students of Class A at all."
After cleverly applying a patch for himself in advance...
Ryuen continued, "Even if the defendants really committed sexual harassment, that would only be towards the opposite sex, right?"
"On this basis, the lie of sexual harassment you mentioned, Katsuragi-san, has already collapsed on itself."
Not exceeding Katsuragi Ren's expectations, Ryuen's defense was indeed not much different from what he had calculated.
The sexual harassment was fake to begin with, so claiming sexual harassment against the entire class was naturally Katsuragi Ren spouting nonsense.
But through Katsuragi Ren's nonsense, the final compensation would be nearly doubled.
And this extra double was all the boys in Class A.
Seeing that Katsuragi Ren didn't speak, Ichinose, who understood the true situation of Class A, conveyed her support to Katsuragi Ren in her own way.
The girl wrapped her hands around Katsuragi Ren's palm, which was covering hers, rubbing it gently, hoping to bring warmth to the boy.
Squeezing Ichinose's small hand, Katsuragi Ren maintained his initial smile and refuted Ryuen.
"Ryuen-san, your claim that sexual harassment only applies to the opposite sex doesn't hold water at all."
"Even without discussing whether there are gays among the defendants of Class C, let's take the male students of our Class A as an example."
"How do you judge that they won't be sexually harassed just because they are of the same sex as the defendants?"
"Most of the male students in our class are gay, and they are the submissive ones. For them, the stalking and tailing behavior carried out by your Class C is no different from sexual harassment."
"As for the remaining small portion, they are either bisexual or identify as Walmart shopping bags."
"No matter which category they belong to, the fact is they were sexually harassed by the defendants."
"Unless you can produce valid evidence proving that the students of your Class C had absolutely no contact with all the plaintiffs of our Class A."
"Otherwise, this is sexual harassment."
Katsuragi Ren stated words that shattered one's worldview with a serious face.
This was complete sophistry, yet Ryuen had no way to deal with Katsuragi Ren's sophistry.
Was he supposed to make the male students of Class A prove they were gay on the spot by letting everyone see with their own eyes how gays fight?
Leaving aside whether Class A would bother with him, even if they agreed...
The Student Council President sitting above wouldn't accept such an unreasonable request.
Pfft.
Teacher Chie Hoshinomiya, who was leisurely watching the show, unscrewed her very girly light pink teacup. Just as she took a sip of tea, she heard Katsuragi Ren's extremely outrageous sophistry and couldn't hold it back, spraying the tea from her mouth.
A large spray of tea rained down on the seats in front. Fortunately, everyone in Class A was crowded in the plaintiff area, avoiding Teacher Hoshinomiya's sudden attack.
Seeing his homeroom teacher lose her composure like this, Katsuragi Ren turned his head and spoke gloomily towards Chie Hoshinomiya: "Hoshinomiya-sensei..."
"Sorry, sorry, Little Ren. My bad." Chie clasped her hands together and apologized to Katsuragi Ren with an apologetic smile, showing none of the seriousness a homeroom teacher should have.
Chie's behavior drew sideways glances from everyone in Class C. Is Katsuragi Ren's relationship with his homeroom teacher that good?
Standing beside Ryuen, Teacher Sakagami, whose face was already as black as the bottom of a pot, was accustomed to Chie's appearance.
The homeroom teachers of the other three first-year classes knew Chie's flighty nature all too well.
"Katsuragi-san, this is just your one-sided story. What about the views of the plaintiffs in Class A?" Ryuen considered how to break Katsuragi Ren's sophistry.
After thinking about it, he concluded that for something like this, the parties involved had to speak up.
So he shifted the question to the rest of Class A.
Hearing Katsuragi Ren's sophistry, the girls of Class A behind him lowered their heads one by one, their faces flushed red, afraid that they might accidentally laugh out loud.
As for the boys, their faces were all as black as the bottom of a pot, just like Class C's Teacher Sakagami.
Seeing Ryuen question the people behind him, Katsuragi Ren turned his head sideways and asked in a kind tone: "Do you guys have an opinion?"
"No opinion. What Katsuragi-san said is the truth."
Kanzaki forced back his dark expression and answered with a normal face. After speaking, he even kicked So Shibata, who was standing beside him.
Shibata, having been kicked by Kanzaki, cleverly chose a relatively better reputation: "Katsuragi-san is right. I am indeed bisexual."
"I won't pretend anymore. Me too..."
"What what what? My gender as a Walmart shopping bag, which I hid for so long, was actually discovered by Katsuragi-san."
Among the Class A boys, some admitted it honestly, and some took the opportunity to be funny, but not a single one jumped out to refute Katsuragi Ren.
Nodding with satisfaction, Katsuragi Ren turned his head back. The corner of his mouth curled up in an arc, revealing his canine tooth that glinted coldly.
"Ryuen-san, look..."
"They have no opinion."
