Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 29 29. School Grade Judge
The next day, the negative news about Jiuzhou Cheng had been completely fermented in the school.

Regardless of the fact that the "Niulang Exposure Post" on the school forum has reached the top of the popularity list, with hundreds of comments underneath, and users who claim to be "in the know" are competing to expose Kyushu Cheng's personal information in the comment area, Even members of the student union posted a statement saying they would "seriously investigate this matter."

Obviously, the Ministry of Information has been secretly fanning the heat of this topic, trying to embarrass Makoto Kyushu in this school.

Take Jiuzhoucheng as an example when he walked into the school this morning. He clearly felt that the discipline committee members at the school gate were staring at him strangely, and even 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 is in an RPG game, then the game screen will probably have bubble chat boxes constantly popping up on both sides of the game screen:
"Is he the cowherd student?"

"This kind of person is actually a special recruit with a full scholarship. It's really a decline in the world!"

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

"Keep your voice down, it is said that the cowherds in Kamurocho are all murderers."

Makoto Kyushu ignored the noise and came to the shoebox where the indoor shoes were replaced.

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 cowboy", "get out of school" and "disgusting", which are obviously a prank against him.

The student standing next to changing shoes couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering when he saw Makoto Kyushu's angry eyes.

Although it is not known whether these stickers were stuffed in by some students spontaneously or made by the news department, Cheng Jiuzhou could only take a photo as evidence, and then tear off all these stickers and throw them into the trash can.

When he walked into the class, the students also looked at him with strange and timid eyes and whispered in low voices.

At noon, Kyushu asked Bad San to go to the rooftop to accompany Junior Shuiqiao for dinner, while he ate alone in the classroom.

Jiuzhoucheng asked them not to get too close to him for the time being, so as not to be excluded together as "cowherd's party".

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

His current enemy is not just the News Department and that vicious Sister Yachuan, but the entire school.He has been pushed to the opposite of everyone.

This battle belongs only to Kyushu Makoto.Neither Bad Three nor Junior Mizuhashi have the ability to get involved, so it's better to keep them away.

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

On the second day, Jiuzhou Cheng still had a hard time at school. In the corridor, he could often see his classmates casting strange glances at him, and the shoebox was still full of abuse notes posted by others.

At noon, Suzuki Yuhito sent him a text message, saying that the few of them had not been affected by public opinion.However, Junior Mizuhashi seems to be very worried about the situation of Kyushu Makoto, and has been frowning.

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

Kyushu Cheng's heart tightened, knowing that the most critical moment was coming.

After school, Kyushu arrived as promised.

There were not many people in the conference room, but they were all heavyweights in the school - their grade director, several experienced teachers, and the chairman of the board with eagle eyes.

Teacher Jiang Niao was also in the conference room, everyone's expressions were extremely serious, and Jiuzhou Cheng was the prisoner they were about to interrogate.

But the more it is on this occasion, the more Kyushu Makoto has to keep calm.

"Student Jiuzhou, you should be well aware of the topics that have been circulating in school recently, right?" An elderly teacher spoke first.

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

Halfway through his words, another teacher made a "stop" gesture, and then said: "We are not going to listen to your defense today, but just want to inform you of the results of our discussion."

"..." Jiuzhou Cheng frowned nervously, and his nails could not help digging into the palm of his palm: "I offended, please say."

"At yesterday's meeting, your class teacher tried his best to defend you, insisting that you are a good student with both good character and academic excellence." It was a stern middle-aged woman who spoke, her voice was a bit harsh:
"But those photos are not fake. You did walk into the public relations shop with a cowboy at the same time. No matter what the facts are, you have caused a bad influence on our school."

Hearing this, Jiuzhou Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, and he retorted: "I claim that this is a rumor against me by the Ministry of Information without knowing the truth! Even if it has a bad impact on the school, the Ministry of Information should be blamed !"

Kyushu Cheng didn't say a few words, but was interrupted by a kinder teacher:
"We also feel that the truth of the incident is open to question. After all, we cannot ruin the future of a good student just because of a few photos."

"If you want to verify, you can go directly to the store to investigate." Jiuzhou Cheng quickly suggested: "If I were a cowherd, you would definitely find evidence in the store."

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

Moreover, even if the teachers go to the store to check, the store manager and colleagues will not admit the fact that Makoto Kyushu works here, otherwise the store will get into trouble for "hiring school students to work in the custom industry".

"No, the teacher can't go to that store to investigate your work situation." The teacher frowned regretfully:

"As you can see, our teachers cannot enter the custom district at will. If we are caught by reporters with ulterior motives, it will arouse public opinion."

The teacher was right.Wano country attaches great importance to "teacher's morality", and there is even a strict saying that "teachers should not dress too beautifully, otherwise they will be tempting students".

In such a strict social environment, once a teacher haunts Custom Street and is discovered by unscrupulous reporters—even if he tries his best to justify that he is only investigating the students working here—he may be written out of context and included in news reports, and then Being dubbed the "unscrupulous teacher" caused a "big news".

Moreover, the teachers should also be able to think of the possibility of "serial confession in advance in the Kyushu Chenghe store", even if they go to investigate, they can't find out why.

Just then, another teacher said:

"Normally speaking, a student like you would be subject to suspension or even expulsion. But your class teacher has been trying to defend you and begging us to believe you, so the school decided to give you a chance. A week later, we will hold a meeting for you A class referee."

"School referee...?" Kyushu Makoto looked confused.At any rate, he has also familiarized himself with the school rules of Xiujin Academy, but he has never heard of this term.

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

"The so-called school-level referee is a kind of moot court where students are dissatisfied with the school's punishment after making mistakes, thinking that they have been framed."

"Students can prepare materials within a week. Wait until the day of the grade judgment, and students will defend themselves in a moot court open to the whole school, and the "teacher-student jury" will make the final judgment on you. "

"If the student is able to convince the majority of the jury that he is found "not guilty," the school will cancel his sentence.As compensation, the school will unconditionally satisfy a reasonable wish of his. "

"However, if the student cannot convince the jury and is still found "guilty", the school will increase his punishment and require him to pay the full cost of the convening of the grade referee. "

Let students of this age stand in the campus moot court to defend themselves, "innocent" will be rewarded, "guilty" will be punished.What a radical rule... Kyushu Makoto gasped.

"I understand that there are rewards for being found "innocent", but why is the punishment increased for being found "guilty"? Kyushu asked carefully.

""The court is like a game field. There is no difference between a loser and a gambler who has lost everything. You must deal with it with the mentality of "one step to heaven, one step to abyss""... This school rule aims to encourage students to speak up for themselves, but You must also understand the consequences of failure to appeal and make the most sensible decision. "The chairman crossed his fingers and stared at Kyushu Makoto sharply:
"Our school has been reorganizing policies and improving school rules in recent years. I want to try to include "grade referees" in the school rules, so that students can have a voice when they are wronged. "

"That is to say. Will this school-level referee be my last chance?" Makoto Kyushu swallowed and asked.

"For the school, this will be a bold attempt." The chairman responded calmly:
"It is precisely because Mr. Jiang Niao insisted on giving you a chance to prove your innocence at the seminar that I came up with this proposal."

Hearing this, Kyushu Makoto turned to look at Mr. Jiang Niao in the corner of the meeting room.The teacher smiled awkwardly and nodded in embarrassment.

"With the liberty to ask, who are you referring to by the "teacher-student jury"...? "Jiuzhou Cheng took the opportunity to ask the last question.

“The jury will choose from teachers who are highly respected and students who are both good in character and learning, such as members of the student union and discipline department,” explained a teacher.

"You mean... the students from the News Department will also be on the jury?" Kyushu asked worriedly.

If you want to say "excellent in character and learning", the most important thing for the Ministry of Information is such people.If the jury only takes "excellence in character and learning" as the selection criteria, it is very likely that a large number of members of the news department will be mixed in.

If things develop like this, Kyushu Makoto will be the enemy of the jury in court.

"Who's suing our jury!" He definitely didn't want to hear that in a moot court.

A teacher shook his head and said, "Although you claim that the Ministry of Information framed you, you have no conclusive evidence, so we cannot ban members of the Ministry of Information from participating in the jury."

"However, considering the fairness of the school-level referees, apart from the student union and the disciplinary committee, each student organization can only send two students at most, which is [-]% of the jury." The chairman interrupted the topic calmly Sound explained:

"As long as more than [-]% of the jury members are convinced, "not guilty" can be obtained.This rule is very lenient to you, right? "

Kyushu Cheng frowned, trying to digest the information.

Holding a moot court for a student who seriously violated school rules... This is an unheard-of attempt for Xiujin Academy, and it also makes Kyushu Makoto feel like he is walking on eggshells.

However, this is the opportunity for him to come back.

The martial artists of "Unlimited Fighting Art" are all ruthless people who practice the criminal law as a mental method. Even if they kill someone, they must let themselves be found not guilty.Therefore, Kyushu Cheng has never been afraid of the occasion of "court".

"I see, thank the chairman and all the teachers for trusting me." Makoto Jiuzhou took a deep breath and bowed politely:
"I will be ready to prove my innocence in the "School Judge" seven days later and get a "not guilty" verdict! "
