Chapter 10: Chapter 11: Reports, Punishments, and Rewards
Questions must be directed to the class representative.
The class representative has become the strongest shield.
"Alright, I understand. Let's put that question aside for now," Rey said, not getting a chance to gather more information, and shifted the topic.
"Let's talk about something else. I saw one of my classmates carelessly destroy school property. I want to report him. What kind of punishment will he and his class receive? Will it be announced, or does the school not care if students damage things? Also, are there any rewards for those who report their classmates?"
"Aside from that, I also want to report a second-year senior who insulted students from Class D by calling us 'defective products.' That's an insult to our character. I want him to apologize, and it would be best if he compensates us, preferably in points."
"I've already prepared the evidence."
Rey had previously overheard the second-year student insulting Class D as 'defective products,' and now he brought up the issue.
He didn't hesitate—whether it was his classmate or a senior, he reported them without any hesitation.
Hearing Rey's words, Horikita Manabu frowned.
"Is this really necessary, junior?"
"Shouldn't this be something the student council handles? Or maybe the school has a disciplinary committee? Or does the school just turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior?"
Rey stepped forward and stared directly at Horikita Manabu.
"No, this is indeed a matter for the student council. Bring the evidence, and let me take a look," Horikita Manabu said, lifting his gaze.
Rey smiled slightly and handed over the recording he had copied earlier.
The school's surveillance system was excellent, not only showing clear footage but also recording conversations.
Horikita Manabu checked the video and slowly calmed himself.
In the video, the red-haired student was seen in front of a convenience store, eating instant noodles when the second-year student came to provoke him. The entire conversation was captured.
Essentially, it looked like a group of wild dogs fighting for territory.
"Don't take me lightly just because I'm still a first-year!"
"Do you really dare to talk back to a second-year? Didn't you see our stuff here?"
"We brought our stuff here. So get out."
"What?"
"What do you mean by that? Hey!"
"Get out of here, you 'defective products.' Pathetic. We're leaving now."
"Trying to run?"
"Yell all you want, yell! Soon, you'll feel hell."
Not only was there the argument, but also the second-year student's insult calling Class D 'defective products,' and finally, the red-haired student kicking a trash can and recklessly throwing trash.
"Indeed, it all happened."
"Are you from Class D? His classmate?"
On the first day of school, one of his classmates stabbed him in the back, and now he was reporting his own classmate. Horikita Manabu was already getting a headache. Rey seemed to have no team spirit. Maybe he never saw his class as a team.
Horikita Manabu began to understand why this student was placed in Class D. Despite being very observant, he was a bit troublesome. What troubled him more was his younger sister, who was in the same class.
"Yes, that's correct. I want to report them. Please tell me what can be done, Student Council President," Rey said.
He wasn't interested in the punishment or reward; he was just focused on understanding the school's mechanisms.
"Regarding the punishment for kicking the trash can and damaging school property, that is determined by the school. The student council cannot intervene, and we cannot give a definitive answer."
"However, we can issue an official warning to the students from Class D as a reminder."
"As for the reward you asked about, I'm sorry, but we've received your report, but there is no reward. The school generally does not give rewards for such things."
Horikita Manabu fell silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Just a warning, huh? So kicking the trash can and things like that won't result in serious punishment. Even though I've cleaned up the trash, the points won't be returned, right?"
"It seems like only major issues like cheating on exams or school violence lead to suspension or expulsion. For minor infractions, it's all about deducting class points."
Although Horikita Manabu didn't explain everything directly, Rey understood.
If the situation were not as the school said, Horikita Manabu would have already mentioned a punishment for the red-haired student. The fact that he only gave a warning meant the punishment had already been handled, or it was something the school didn't care about.
Rey began piecing together parts of the school's system.
This information was still locked for now, but it might be revealed after the next points distribution.
It seemed the school wanted to issue a warning to the new students. There was no point in hiding that information forever. Once the points were published, the truth would come out.
Rey felt that when his classmates saw their class points decrease drastically, their reactions would be interesting.
Horikita Manabu didn't respond, just staring without saying anything, confirming Rey's suspicions.
