Volume 45Chapter 2 Part8 (2/2)

”In regards to contact with the outside, I have heard that it strictly includes shi+pping of packages too However, as long as I don't send infor the rules?” Katsuragi asked

”There's no change in the fact that it is prohibited by the rules That is a rule that has not changed since the founding of this school But, it's not prohibited for no reason When the school was first founded, the rules were not as strict as they are now”

The older Horikita looked at Secretary Tachibana, then slightly nodded while s

”It is as he says Originally, the package shi+pping that Katsuragi-kun hoped for was permitted However, there were several students that broke their proes without per happened and now it is absolutely prohibited” Tachibana said

And that's how it is, the older Horikita drilled an absolute rejection into Katsuragi But, Katsuragi is not the type to back down here Even though it's for the 1st years, this man is still the leader of Class A He immediately reassessed the situation and rebuilds his approach

”Then once again Iof the package directly at the shop I will not lay a single finger on the package, I will only pay for its cost If so, there can be no rooi said

”But even so it's still against the rules”

”Against the rules? This school is ability-based, if need be I've heard you can do anything with enough points Buying test scores or trading between students, there are i continued

It seei, the value of the birthday present he wishes to send is great

”If that is the case, the situation will change slightly” The older Horikita, having caled his attitude

”Before we go into the details of the points, can you letit to?” he asks

”It's to my twin sister Since we don't have any parents, I'i said

This was an outcome completely contrary to our scus, it was to a sibling

”I' to correct you on one point but the point systehty one Indeed the action you mentioned earlier is possible But, that is only because 'it is not stated in the rules' What is currently listed in the school regulations as being prohibited, won't easily be altered just like that”

It was a slightly difficult to understand state similar For instance, let's use test scores as an exao, I used points to buy Sudou his test scores That in itself is not 'illegal' It just means points were used to buy test scores But let's suppose that sa to get a passing score on his test and in the case that cheating were to be revealed It would be difficult then to erase the fact that he had 'cheated'

”The rules of the school are there to be upheld”

”That's funny, if that is the case then the rules of this school are full of loopholes”

”There's nothing strange about that It justrules that allow for a way out”

And in response to Katsuragi's question, the student council president responded in a way that h it were obvious

””

Even for the si, it seeards to their ability alone, the difference between thee This man, who for 3 years at this school, was not only in Class A but also carried out the duties of the student council president, had no weaknesses

”You're saying even if I use i asked

”There's nothing you can do If this is so the school expressly prohibits, it will not be allowed even with the use of points”

Exactly as the older Horikita had said earlier, it i was deter option of his is cut off, it meant the end of the line for him

”If you're finished, please leave”

”I seeI understand, please excuse estured that I'd be staying behind to him, he quietly left

”You're not going back?”

”What you were saying earlier, it's about when the act of breaking the rules coht, wasn't it?”

In the i

”What do you mean by that?”

The older Horikita's gaze is now directed at me

”Do you reht with soh it were natural It did cause a huge uproar back then after all

”Back then the Class C students made an appeal to the school and it turned into a case where it led to discussions for punishulations He only thought to ask for an act that would have led to an act of breaking the regulations And the only ones who know about that would be i as well as you two of the student council In that case, as long as you overlook this act of breaking the regulations it would be fine”

This strangely worded phrase, I'm sure if it's the two of the

For instance, even if you commit a traffic rule violation and happen to be accosted by a police officer If you bribe that officer and successfully get hiet for punishiven That's what it meant

”And also, the usually difficult processing of such shi+pping If it's you guys, it would be a simple task, wouldn't it?”

”I see You're saying to resolve everything without first clearing it with the school, is that right?”

Katsuragi had righteously tried to secure permission from the school But if that doesn't work, all he has to do is make sure the school never hears word of this But it i would not be able to think of

”Being able to talk about overlooking school rule violations so boldly, what a scary delinquent!” Only Secretary Tachibana turned to point that out to me

”How did you come to that conclusion?”

”This school forbids acts of violence But you, in your firstback That is proof enough that as long as the school does not find out, anything can be passed off”

Even if it's the student council president, he shouldn't be able to raise his hand in public like that

”That's right If one is to contact the outside anyways, there is no other i did not realize that fact In that instant, he lost his only re option”

”Don't you think of helping him out now?”

”No I'ulations for that man's sake”

”You're rather strict”

”If you really feel that way, you should have told Katsuragi of this method before he left the room But you didn't do that”

Ahh It really is troublesoh me completely It seei that and put hiuard

”I' back”

”I could tell Tachibana to prepare some tea for you now?”

”I'll pass I don't knohat you're going to put in it”

”W-what a rude 1st year!” Tachibana said

And when I moved to leave the room, for some reason the older Horikita also stood up to escort me out

”I'i had to say today So even if you move behind the scenes froate You can do as you please” he told me

”I don't really feel like doing anything of that sort though”

”That in itself is fine too I' involved, that's all”

I was able to read inforree In other words he's telling o ahead and deceive the school well, is that he wants to say

I decided to leave the student council rooh the fact that I was looking into i too

”He's a formidable one, this student council president”
