The next day, the negative news of Makoto Kyushu had completely fermented in the school.

Regardless of the fact that the "Cowherd Exposure Post" on the school forum has reached the top of the popularity list, hundreds of comments have been set off at the bottom, and users who claim to be "insiders" are vying to expose Kyushu Cheng's personal information in the comment area, and even members of the student union have posted that they will "seriously investigate this matter".

It is clear that the Ministry of Information has been secretly fanning the heat of the topic in an attempt to embarrass Makoto Kyushu at this school.

Take Kyushu Cheng walking into the school this morning, he obviously felt that the discipline committee members at the school gate were staring at him with strange eyes, and he deliberately checked his school uniform a few more times.

When he came to the corridor of the school, he felt that there were countless pairs of cold eyes full of malice staring at him, and the students on the side of the corridor seemed to be talking about him.

If he's in an RPG, the chat box will probably pop up on both sides of the screen right now:

"Is he the Cowherd student?"

"This kind of person is actually a full-award special enrollment, which is really the trend of the world!"

"I heard that he not only worked as a cowherd, but also smuggled guns and ivory..."

"Be quiet, it is said that the cowherds in Kamuro Town are all murderers."

Ignoring the noise, Makoto Kyushu came to the shoe box where he had changed his indoor shoes.

As soon as he opened the shoe box, he saw a large number of stickers stuffed inside, almost drowning his indoor shoes.

Most of these stickers have words like "garbage cowherd", "get out of school", "disgusting", etc., and are obviously pranks against him.

The students who were standing next to him changing their shoes couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker when they saw the annoyed eyes of Makoto Kyushu.

Although it is not known whether some students spontaneously stuffed these stickers into them or if they were made by the Ministry of Information, Kyushu Makoto can only take a photo as evidence, and then tear off all the stickers and throw them in the trash.

He walked into the class, and his classmates also looked at him with strange and timid eyes, whispering in whispers.

At noon, Kyushu Makoto asked the bad three to go to the rooftop to accompany the Shuiqiao junior to eat, and he ate alone in the classroom.

Kyushu Cheng asked a few of them not to get too close to him for the time being, so as not to be excluded as "Cowherd and the same party".

Shakespeare said that if you rashly intervene in a duel between two masters, you will only be killed by a chaotic sword.

His current enemies are not just the Ministry of Information and the vicious Sister Yachuan, who is as vicious as a snake and scorpion, but the entire school. He has been pushed against everyone.

This battle belongs only to Makoto Kyushu. Bad San and Shuiqiao juniors are not capable of getting involved, so it's better to let them stay away.

After school, Makoto Kyushu chatted with Mr. Etori again, and then Mr. Etori was called to a meeting.

The next day, Makoto Kyushu was still having a hard time at school, and he could often see his classmates casting strange glances at him in the corridor, and his shoe box was still stuffed with abusive notes from others.

At noon, Yuhito Suzuki sent him a text message saying that the few of them had not yet been affected by public opinion. However, the Mizuhashi juniors seem to be very worried about the situation of Kyushu Makoto, and they have been worried.

In the afternoon, a senior from the student union came to Kyushu Makoto and asked with a straight face: "Kyushu students, can you come to the conference room of the Academic Affairs Office after school?" ”

Kyushu's heart tightened, and he knew that the most critical moment was coming.

After school, Kyushu Makoto arrived as promised.

There weren't many people in the room, but they were all the school heavyweights—their head of grade, a few veteran teachers, and the eagle-eyed president.

Teacher Etori was also in the conference room, and everyone's faces were extremely grim, and Makoto Kyushu was the prisoner they were about to interrogate.

But the more this is the case, the more Makoto Kyushu has to stay calm.

"Kyushu-san, you should know about the topics that have been circulating in school recently, right?" The first to speak was an elderly teacher.

Kyushu Cheng nodded and replied unhurriedly: "I know, but I assert that this is a rumor and slander against me, and I have never worked as a male publicist." ”

In the middle of his sentence, the other teacher made a "stop" gesture and said, "We are not going to listen to your argument today, but we just want to inform you of the results of our discussion." ”

Kyushu Makoto frowned nervously, and his nails couldn't help but dig into the flesh of his palm: "It's me who offended, please say." ”

"At yesterday's meeting, your homeroom teacher tried to defend you, insisting that you were a good student with excellent character and learning." It was a stern middle-aged woman who spoke, and her voice was a little harsh:

"But those photos aren't fake, you did walk into the PR shop at the same time as a cowherd. Whatever the facts, you have made a bad influence on our school. ”

Hearing this, Kyushu Makoto couldn't bear it anymore, and retorted: "I advocate that this is a rumor spread against me by the Ministry of Information without knowing the truth!" Even if it has had a bad impact on the school, the Ministry of Information should be blamed! ”

Kyushu Cheng didn't say a word, but was interrupted by a more kind teacher:

"We also feel that the truth of the incident is debatable, after all, we can't ruin the future of a good student just because of a few photos."

"If you want to verify, you can go directly to that store and investigate." Kyushu Makoto hurriedly proposed: "If I were a cowherd, you would definitely be able to find evidence in the store." ”

Anyway, he is not a cowherd, just an ordinary waiter, there is no promotional photo of him on the "Cowherd photo wall" outside the store, and his name is not on the "Cowherd Roster" in the store.

In addition, even if the teachers went to inspect the store, the store manager and his colleagues would not admit the fact that Makoto Kyushu worked here, otherwise the store would get into trouble by "hiring school students to work in the custom industry".

"No, there's no way the teacher can go to that store to investigate your work." The teacher frowned and said regretfully:

"As you can see, we teachers can't go into the custom neighborhood at will. If it is caught by a reporter with ulterior motives, it will arouse public opinion. ”

The teacher had a point. Wano Country attaches great importance to "teacher morality", and there is even a strict saying that "teachers can't dress too beautifully, otherwise they are tempting students".

In such a strict social environment, if a teacher is found in the street and unscrupulous reporters – even if he tries to justify himself only to investigate the students who work there – he may be taken out of context and included in the news report, and then branded as an "unscrupulous teacher", causing a "big news".

Besides, the teachers should also be able to think of the possibility of "Kyushu Seiwa store confessing in advance", and even if they go to investigate, they can't ask why.

At this moment, another teacher said:

"It stands to reason that a student like you should be suspended or even expelled. But your homeroom teacher has been trying to defend you and implore us to believe you, so the school has decided to give you a chance. In a week's time, we'll have a school-level referee for you. ”

"School-level referee...?" Makoto Kyushu looked confused. He had also read the rules of Xiushen Academy, but he had never heard of this word.

"This is the school rule of a private aristocratic high school in Tokyo called "Takamagaharamine". The chairman, who had never said a word, suddenly spoke:

"The so-called school-level referee is a kind of mock court that students apply for after making mistakes because they are not satisfied with the school's punishment and think that they have been framed."

"Students can prepare materials in a week's time. On the day of the school judge, students will defend themselves in a mock court open to the whole school, and a "teacher-student jury" will make the final verdict on you. ”

If the student can convince the majority of the jurors that he is found "not guilty," then the school will remove his punishment. In return, the school will unconditionally fulfill a reasonable wish for him. ”

"But if a student is found guilty of not being able to convince the jury, the school will increase his punishment and require him to pay the full cost of the judge."

Let students of this age stand in the campus moot court to defend themselves, and there is a reward for "not guilty" and a punishment for "guilty". What a radical rule... Makoto Kyushu gasped.

"I understand that being found "not guilty" is rewarded, but why does being found guilty of "guilty" increase the punishment?" Makoto Kyushu asked cautiously.

"The court is like a gambling field, there is no difference between a loser and a gambler who loses, and you must deal with it with a gambling mentality of "one step to heaven, one step to the abyss"... The school rules are designed to encourage students to speak up for themselves, but also to understand the consequences of failing to appeal and to make the most rational decisions. The chairman crossed his fingers with his hands, and stared sharply at Makoto Kyushu:

"In recent years, our school has been reorganizing its policy and improving its school rules, and I would like to try to put the "school-level judge" into the school rules, so that students can have a voice when they are wronged."

"That is to say... Will this academic judge be my last chance? Kyushu Makoto swallowed his saliva and asked.

"It's going to be a bold move for the school." The chairman calmly responded:

"It is precisely because Mr. Jiang Bird insisted on giving you a chance to prove your innocence at the discussion meeting that I thought of this proposal."

Hearing this, Kyushu Cheng turned his head to look at Teacher Jiang Bird in the corner of the conference room. The teacher smiled wryly and nodded a little awkwardly.

"I would venture to ask, what you call a "teacher-student jury"... Who is it? Makoto Kyushu took the opportunity to ask one last question.

"The jury selects respected teachers as well as students with excellent academic character, such as members of the student council and the discipline department." One teacher explained.

"What do you mean... Will DPI students also be on the jury? Makoto Kyushu asked uneasily.

If you want to say "excellent character and learning", the Department of Public Information has no shortage of such people. If the jury were to select only "good character and learning" as the selection criterion, it would most likely be mixed in with a large number of members of the Department.

If things turn out like this, Makoto Kyushu will be tantamount to being an enemy of the jury in court.

"Who is suing us for a jury?" He definitely didn't want to hear that in a moot courtroom.

One teacher shook his head and said, "Although you claim that the Department of Information has framed you, you have no hard evidence, so we can't ban members of the Department from jury trials because of that." ”

"But in consideration of the fairness of the referees at the school level, each student organization can only send a maximum of two students, or 10 percent of the jury, except for the student union and the disciplinary committee." The chairman interrupted the topic and explained in a calm voice:

It only takes more than 60% of the jury members to be convinced of the "not guilty". This rule is very lenient for you, right? ”

Makoto Kyushu frowned, trying to digest this information.

Convening a moot court for a student who has seriously violated school rules... This is an unheard of attempt for Xiushen Academy, and it also makes Kyushu Makoto feel like walking on thin ice.

However, this is the opportunity for him to turn the tables.

The martial artists of the "Unrestricted Martial Arts" are all ruthless people who practice criminal law as a mental method, and even if they kill someone, they will be acquitted. Therefore, on occasions like "court", Kyushu Chengke has never been afraid.

"I see, thank you for the trust you have in me." Makoto Kyushu took a deep breath and bowed politely:

"I will be ready to prove my innocence at the "Academic Judge" in seven days and get the "Not Guilty" verdict!"
