"No, teacher! It was Inoue-senpai who brought a group of people to provoke Kuriyama-senpai!"
"Kuriyama-senpai, he was just acting in self-defense!"
Next to her, Asaka Yui scratched her throat and defended herself against the protective teacher who took the lead. Her snow-white neck was swollen red.
Kazuhara and Yoshikawa, who were standing on the other side, also explained to the teacher:
"We can all prove it! It was Inoue who caused trouble first! Amai, he just fought back!"
Inoue Kunio covered the pain on his body, with a sly smile on his face, and shouted angrily:
"Both of them! And that little girl! We can't let them go! They are all accomplices!"
"Don't let anyone go!"
The leader did not express his position at this time, and only made a slight gesture. The well-trained security team behind him had already formed a battle formation, and several anti-explosion forks had surrounded Kuriyama Mai.
Kuriyama Mai knew that with only one baseball bat, he was far from being able to fight head-on.
Even if he was lucky enough to find a way out, Asaka and the others would be in dire straits...
He had no choice but to protect Asaka Yui behind him with his hands, and his eyes signaled her not to speak for the time being. The two of them stepped back carefully and silently observed the situation at the scene.
The timing of these teachers' appearance was too strange, and judging from Kunio Inoue's proud expression, these people might be the ones he relies on to run rampant on campus.
"Report to Mr. Matsushita! The injured inside all identified this classmate Mai Kuriyama as the murderer who injured them!"
Another team of anti-explosion team members walked back into the cafeteria from the side and reported respectfully to the lead teacher.
"What else can you say to quibble? Kuriyama-san." The leader, Mr. Matsushita, smiled jokingly, "'Justifiable defense'? So many people have fallen, and you are still okay?"
Arata Yoshikawa was a little angry and shouted hurriedly to the crowd that had not dispersed yet:
"Hey! Hey! Didn't you have any reaction? Just now, Amai..."
"Do you still want to quibble?" Teacher Matsushita interrupted him rudely. He turned to the students around him and asked calmly:
"Did these people do it first?"
At this time, Inoue Kunio cast a few ambiguous glances at the crowd.
The crowd suddenly became noisy. First there were some vague "I don't know" and "I just came here, so I don't know!"
After a while, other noises appeared, "It seems like he did it first!" "When I came here, I saw Kuriyama-san beating someone else!"
After a while, they said, "He's the one causing trouble!" "It's him!" "Inoue and the others are clearly having a good meal, but he insists on causing trouble!"
"Yes, yes! It's all Kuriyama-san's fault!"
"This kind of person just likes to cause trouble everywhere and doesn't do anything serious."
"Let this bad guy get kicked out of school quickly!"
The few busybodies became more and more excited as they talked.
"You..." Yoshikawa Arata looked at the crowd in disbelief, "You guys keep doing this! Who will dare to come forward in the future!"
But other students cast disdainful glances at him.
"This man also followed Kuriyama-san to beat up others!"
"Teacher, please don't let them go!"
"..." Yoshikawa Arata's eyes were about to burst into tears. He raised the baseball bat, but he didn't know where to swing it.
Asaka Yui tightly grasped the corner of Kuriyama Mai's clothes, her little hands were covered with sweat.
She wanted to speak out to refute the crowd several times, but she was stopped by Kuriyama Mai. Seeing the senior shaking his head firmly, she had no choice but to hang her head helplessly.
"Why……"
"Obviously the senior did this for their own good."
The girl frowned and stared blankly at the ground. She couldn't find the answer.
"Whoever wins, they will help." Kuriyama Mai saw her confusion, patted her shoulder lightly, and whispered, "Or, whoever gives them hope of winning, they will help."
"?" Asaka's only hand clutched her chest tightly, and she raised her doubtful eyes to look at him, her face as resolute and courageous as ever, "Is it necessary to win?"
The crowd was still talking quietly, "He obviously wants to be a hero. It's none of our business."
"If you don't have that background, just stop meddling. Look, this is retribution."
"He just wants to be the second Kunio Inoue. Looking at his ferocious eyes, no one will believe him!"
…
The reaction from the crowd was not surprising to Kuriyama Mai. After all, if anyone dared to speak for him at this time, he would naturally be regarded as a thorn in his side.
It's his fault today that he was too reckless... He started acting recklessly before he understood Kunio Inoue's background clearly. Sure enough, the young man's passion has not completely faded away...
Kuriyama Mai thought of this and smiled helplessly.
Mr. Matsushita put on a calm expression and said:
"Kuriyama-san, I think you have no point in making any more excuses. My classmates can see this very clearly. So please come with me to the security office."
"Wait, teacher." Kuriyama Mai observed the attack formations of the explosion-proof forks around him. He wanted to delay some time to find a loophole to escape.
"What else do you want to say?" Mr. Matsushita's voice was already a little impatient, and the subordinates around him began to make moves.
"I would like to ask, can you check the canteen surveillance today?"
Kuriyama Mai glanced around, thinking about ways to escape. If he was really captured and taken to the security office, it would be very dangerous.
"It's a pity..." Mr. Matsushita spread his hands, "The canteen surveillance system is undergoing maintenance today. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out."
Sure enough, this Inoue Kunio, the referee and the athletes are all his people. Kuriyama Mai shook his head gently.
He was waiting for an opportunity. When the explosion-proof forks from all sides were surrounding him, as long as one person slowed down his movements, he would have room to escape.
Mr. Matsushita waved his hand:
"Take them all away! Go to the security office and educate them properly!"
Kazuhara Kazaya and Yoshikawa Arata over there were instantly pushed to the ground by well-trained security guards.
The explosion-proof forks around Kuriyama Mai were all deployed here. He squeezed Asaka Yui's little hand tightly, trying to seize the flaw and run away.
"3, 2, 1"
He was counting in his mind, and when the explosion-proof fork was about to hit, he swung the baseball bat back hard, betting that a space would be opened behind him.
Because his eyes were focused on the front just now, the security guard behind him might be relaxed.
With a "bang" sound, as he threw the bat, he grabbed Yui Asaka and ran back.
But just as Kuriyama Mai passed through the security guard who was distracted by the baseball bat behind him, several more well-equipped security guards suddenly appeared in the cafeteria. They all used explosion-proof forks and pinned Kuriyama Mai to the ground in a few strokes.
Is he still hiding this hand? Kuriyama Mai, who was tied to the ground, complained unwillingly, why is this school security team so professional!
Teacher Matsushita slowly walked up to him, leaned down and looked at him with a strange smile.
"You can't fly out! Be honest!"
"You'll feel better~" Kunio Inoue also limped up to him, and he glanced maliciously at Yui Asaka, who was pushed aside by the security team.
"It's just a pity that such a pure and lovely school girl has to be punished with you, haha~"
Being pushed down by brute force, Asaka Yui sat helplessly on the side with her fists clenched, a bitter expression like mud on her pretty face.
"Why am I so weak...I can't even help senior..."
Big tears dripped onto the skirt of the girl's school uniform.
Kuriyama Mai tried hard to struggle, but the anti-explosion fork was too tight, and the system couldn't even draw out a weapon at this time...
The only one that was of any use was a bottle of water of life worth 540 heartbeat points. According to the system, as long as you didn't die, your body could be restored to its original state.
Kuriyama Mai couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he had to wait until he came out of the security office before making long-term plans...
"Take them away!" Teacher Matsushita turned around and motioned to the security guards to pick them up and leave.
The crowd instantly gave way to a wide passage for them.
There were people on both sides whispering, "Look, this is the result of going against Mr. Inoue!"
"There is nothing to sympathize with this kind of person..."
"Who makes him not have that strength and want to destroy the good atmosphere."
"Hahahahahaha, what a fool..."
But the smiling classmate suddenly noticed something and quickly covered his mouth.
In an instant, the triumphant smile on Inoue Kunio's face froze.
Mr. Matsushita, who was standing at the front, had a surprised expression on his face.
A tall girl stood out in the passage. Her school uniform was neat and tidy, without any wrinkles.
She forcefully pulled off the pollen mask on her mouth, revealing her delicate and fair face. Her high ponytail was blown by the breeze, like a beautiful girl who had stepped out of the second dimension.
"Ms. Matsushita, I can prove it!"
"Kuriyama-san, it was completely self-defense! Inoue-san was the one who started the trouble!"
Although her cold voice was not loud, it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"Haruhi-kun, are you sure?"
"So many classmates around me say it's Kuriyama-san's problem."
Mr. Matsushita's voice also lost a bit of confidence.
"I'm sure!" Kasuga Chinatsu's tone left no room for negotiation.
Kunio Inoue on the side looked even more constipated, and turned around to give Kuriyama Mai a blank look.
Kuriyama Mai, who was controlled by several big men from the security team, shook his head and smiled helplessly, "This guy, Minister, was she watching just now..."
