Chapter 126: 68 Perfect Solution
"..."
Miura Yumiko and the others were all stunned, all staring at Yuigahama Yui in horror.
"Yui, you, you, you, you said, what you said is true?"
"You, you have already lived together?"
Yuigahama Yui and the others did not speak very quietly before, so the people around them almost heard their conversation. At this moment, the whole class almost fell silent.
Then Miura Yumiko questioned Yuigahama Yui, and everyone heard it clearly.
"Hasegawa and Yuigahama Yui have already lived together!!!"
This sentence echoed in everyone's heart.
Swish, countless eyes fell on Hasegawa.
Hasegawa felt a bit overwhelmed. The scandal between him and Hiratsuka Shizuka had not yet subsided, and now there was news that he was living with Yuigahama Yui. It was so chaotic and exciting.
"Ah, that, that, no, it's not cohabitation, it's just, Hasegawa is temporarily renting an empty room in my house. It's just temporarily renting." Yuigahama Yui blushed and explained in a panic.
But Yuigahama Yui's words didn't seem to be very convincing. In short, many people were wondering whether Hasegawa had a relationship with Yuigahama Yui or with Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Of course, some people's ideas were more exciting, that is, Hasegawa was playing both sides, one foot on Hiratsuka Shizuka, the teacher, and the other foot on Yuigahama Yui, the student girl.
The most important thing is that whether it is a student or a teacher, they have a lot of intersections. Doesn't Hasegawa worry about capsizing?
This made many people admire him.
Hasegawa felt that this matter was a mess, and he had to stand up and explain it.
Hasegawa walked to the podium and knocked on the podium with a wipe board.
"Dear students. I know that today, I, who usually don't pay much attention, have suddenly become the focus of all students, because I have become the center of a certain scandal, no, now there are two scandals."
Hearing Hasegawa say this, some people below couldn't help laughing.
"Hasegawa, is it really a rumor?"
"Yes, it can't be the fact."
"Hasegawa, how did you do it? Catch up with a teacher and a student at the same time?"
Hasegawa stood there calmly, not saying anything, just quietly looking at the people below, especially the few who were talking.
"Tobe Kakeru, you are Tobe Kakeru, right?" Hasegawa asked the person who spoke the loudest.
"Yes, I am Tobe Kakeru." Tobe Kakeru really enjoyed the attention of others because Hasegawa called his name and asked other people in the class to pay attention to him, so he was particularly proud and nodded proudly.
"The rumors about me and Hiratsuka-sensei must have spread from you." Hasegawa had recognized him. He was one of the people who escaped from the rooftop.
"You, don't talk nonsense. It didn't come from me, and who knows if it's a rumor or true. It's possible that it's the truth." Tobe Kakeru shouted guiltily.
"You don't need such a loud voice. The more guilty you are, the more you will use such a voice to bluff and try to enhance your persuasiveness. But it is precisely because you are guilty that you do this."
"I am not guilty. I, I just--"
"I just saw that Hiratsuka-sensei was looking for me today, so I was curious and couldn't help but follow him quietly. Because it was a sneaky follow, I couldn't get close. In the end, I could only rely on the few words I heard, and then exaggerate at will, no, it should be a random fabrication. In the end, it became the kind of rumor content in other people's ears. That's it." Hasegawa looked at Tobe Kakeru with sharp eyes.
I don't know if it's because of his high level of kendo or because of the momentum cultivated by a level 5 skill. At this time, Hasegawa, in Tobe Kakeru's eyes, actually has a very strong sense of oppression, which makes him a little scared and a little terrified.
"Tobe Kakeru, do you know what the consequences of doing this will be? Have you ever thought about this? Probably not. After all, you probably only care about your own thoughts and temporary happiness, and you don't think about the consequences of what you say."
"You never thought about what the consequences would be for me and Hiratsuka-sensei, the center of this rumor. Well, that's right, just two people who don't want to do it at all. A poor boy from the countryside, the only chance to change his fate, even if it is ruined, it doesn't matter at all. After all, he is just a poor boy from the countryside. Because of this rumor, his future is ruined and he is expelled from school. At most, he will just return to the countryside and work hard in the fields year after year. The harvest of the last year is not even enough to cover the expenses of a month in Tokyo."
"It's just a poor boy from the countryside. "It doesn't matter anyway. He is just a poor boy from the countryside who doesn't want to do it and is looked down upon by others. Even if he is hit by rumors and has to choose suicide because he can't face the parents who have given everything to change the fate of their children, it doesn't matter. After all, he is just a person who doesn't want to do it. "
"As long as you are happy and get attention, you don't care about the life and death of others. Right. "
Hasegawa just stood there quietly, speaking these words in a tone that was neither strong nor weak. But these words were like a knife, piercing into Tobe Kakeru's heart fiercely.
Tobe Kakeru's face was pale, and he couldn't even stand steadily. He sat down on the chair, and his whole body completely lost the kind of flamboyance he used to have.
"And——"
"Enough. Hasegawa-san, enough." At this time, Hayato Hayama couldn't help but jump out and interrupted Hasegawa: "Tobe didn't mean it, he didn't think about it at all. You are too cruel to Tobe."
"Cruel? Is this cruel to him? Then, I would like to ask Mr. Hayama. What about me? Is what I have to face because of the rumors cruel? If I can't stand up and can't stop such rumors, then what will be my final result? Suicide? Maybe I have enough courage to face reality and choose not to commit suicide, and then from a future Tokyo University student, I will become a poor boy who can only go back to the countryside to farm. Is this fate cruel?" Hasegawa stared at Hayato Hayama with sharp eyes.
In fact, Hasegawa really doesn't like people like them, people like Tobe Kakeru, and even hates them.
Most of these people are self-righteous, only care about their own feelings, and just enjoy the eyes of others. In order to get more attention and become the focus of others' eyes, they do things that seem to be flamboyant or individual.
They don't consider other people's feelings at all, nor do they consider whether their behavior will cause trouble to others. They don't think at all.
Perhaps, they don't have any malice in their hearts, but just think that these are trivial matters. But it is precisely because there is no malice that it is the greatest malice.
"Although Teacher Hiratsuka has various defects, it is undeniable that she is a very good teacher and a very qualified teacher. No one doubts this. In such rumors, she will be under greater pressure because she is a teacher. If she cannot clarify it, the fate she faces is probably that she will be dismissed. Even, it will become a lifelong delay for her, and she can only say goodbye to the profession of teacher. Even, even in the future, she will be pointed at by others with such a stain. Live a lifetime under the shadow of others pointing and pointing."
"Have you all thought about these?"
Hasegawa looked at all the students in the class, almost all of them bowed their heads under Hasegawa's gaze.
"To be honest, I don't want to say this. I'm just a poor boy from the countryside. I've been working hard to change my fate. I know that I'm different from you. It doesn't matter whether you study or not, but this is my only chance to change my fate."
"So, I need to put all my energy into studying. I don't have the time or energy to take care of other things. Not to mention dating."
"Dating, a youth game for you, is too far away for me. I can't play it. I really can't afford it. I want to change my fate, so I can only abandon everything except studying. Maybe this is a nerd in your eyes. But I have no choice."
"You can spend your youth wantonly, date the person you like, and even do everything you like. But I can't. I don't have the capital."
"To be honest, when I was with you, I was very inferior, really, very inferior. I I have nothing, I can only study, even though I am not so good at studying. But there is no way, I can only rack my brains to study, just to be able to enter a good university. "
"Finally, I declare again that my current task is to study, and my goal is the University of Tokyo. In addition to studying, I have no interest in anything. If you want to fall in love? Sorry, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to play any games. Sorry, it has nothing to do with me. "
"I would rather encounter school bullying and so-called cold violence. I even hope that everyone can isolate me, because only in this way can I concentrate on studying without being disturbed. "
"Well, by the way, the second rumor is about Yuigahama. I am very grateful that Yuigahama can stand up and speak for me at this time. She is a very kind girl. "
When Yuigahama Yui's name was mentioned, the other people in the class subconsciously looked at Yuigahama Yui, and Yuigahama Yui blushed slightly and lowered her head.
"Indeed, I am living in Yuigahama's home now. That's because Yuigahama is not only kind, but she also has a kind mother."
"A poor boy from the countryside, except for tuition, has no money at all, and even no place to live. In this situation, Yuigahama's mother resolutely extended a helping hand to me and let me live in her home temporarily. To be honest, I am very moved and very grateful. There are always such good people in this world."
"Even though they knew that doing so might cause trouble to Yuigahama. But they still resolutely chose to help me."
"Compared to most people, they are really very good people. I found the glory of humanity in them."
"Okay, that's all, I don't want to say anything else. Finally, I declare again that my goal is Tokyo University, and I have no other ideas. If it is not necessary, please don't bother me. Thank you."
After speaking, Hasegawa turned and walked down the podium, returned to his own work, and even pretended to take out the textbook, looking like he was studying.
The eyes of other people in the class changed when they looked at Hasegawa. Many people looked at Hasegawa with admiration, thinking that Hasegawa was really amazing and excellent.
Although he was usually taciturn and looked inconspicuous, Hasegawa was simply too excellent compared to people like Tobe Kakeru.
And Tobe Kakeru, one of the parties involved in this incident, had a miserable face and rapid and disordered breathing. In particular, he noticed that other people in the class looked at him with strange eyes, and some even pointed at him.
To be honest, if it was before, Tobe Kakeru would be more excited in the face of this situation, because he liked the feeling of being the center of attention. But now, he just felt dizzy, his eyes black, his eyes rolled over, and snapped. He fell to the ground and fainted.
"Tobe Kakeru has fainted, send him to the infirmary quickly."
It turned out that Tobe Kakeru's friends saw Tobe Kakeru like this, and couldn't help but exclaimed, and then ran out with him in a group.
In fact, if they were just friends who were easy to play with, they would probably stay as far away as possible, after all, Tobe Kakeru's reputation is not right now.
However, spreading rumors is not just done by Tobe Kakeru alone, but Hasegawa only mentioned him and let others escape. This is equivalent to letting Tobe Kakeru take all the blame.
So at this time, they will stand up, which can be regarded as making up for their debt to Tobe Kakeru. As for others, they will never stand up and say that they have a part in this matter.
Seeing Tobe Kakeru being carried out. Hasegawa's mouth corners slightly raised an arc.
"Really mean." Kato Megumi's voice came from the side.
Because of Kato Megumi's own specialness, no one else noticed her. But Hasegawa is now the center of attention. So although he understood that Kato Megumi was talking about him, he did not speak.
Otherwise, if he turned around and talked to Kato Megumi at this time, the persona he had just established would collapse.
Yes, the previous conversation was the persona Hasegawa set for himself.
How should I put it? In fact, from the beginning, from the moment his face changed, he had been thinking about how to reduce the impact.
Later, there were rumors that Shizuka Hiratsuka and he had an intimate relationship. He had almost formed such a plan in his mind.
Tobe Kakeru was a scapegoat he found, but it can't be said to be a scapegoat, after all, his own behavior was indeed wrong.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to solve the matter. This opportunity, he originally planned to present it if Shizuka Hiratsuka's action failed and the rumors could not be cleared.
However, he didn't expect that Yuigahama Yui would have another situation at this time, and Hasegawa had to act in advance.
But it seems to be effective.
Not only did he set up a persona for himself, but he could also reduce disturbances and troubles. At the same time, it also cleared up the relationship between him and Shizuka Hiratsuka, and even solved the situation with Yuigahama Yui.
Everything was perfect. No one could see the flaw except for people like Kato Megumi, Aki Tomoya, or Yuigahama Yui who knew Hasegawa to a certain extent.
Because Hasegawa was really a poor boy from the countryside. Hasegawa was indeed a top student, the first in the grade.
In the normal thinking of people, even if Hasegawa was very smart and could take the first place in the grade, he should have invested a lot of energy in studying.
Therefore, what Hasegawa said was completely normal and even completely correct in the eyes of others.
Especially when Hasegawa was talking, he mentioned more than once that he was a poor boy from the countryside.
As a countryman, he would be laughed at, even ridiculed and looked down upon. Even in school bullying, the bullied people are often such countrymen.
But Hasegawa here cleverly used the advantage of language to put himself in the position of a weak person.
People always admire the strong, but pity the weak.
Therefore, Hasegawa successfully created the image of a weak person who was bullied, and then won a lot of sympathy.
Almost everyone stood on Hasegawa's side. And Tobe Kakeru, the unlucky guy, obviously became a victim.
Although Tobe Kakeru looks miserable, in fact, he deserved it.
Maybe he didn't seem to have done much bad. But as Hasegawa said, he didn't realize that he was doing bad things, but it didn't mean that he didn't do bad things.
In addition, Hasegawa really didn't like his flamboyant personality. It can even be said that he is probably the one Hasegawa hates the most in the class. If he doesn't be a scapegoat, who will?
