Chapter 80 Support 2.0 The Complexity of Human Nature

Everyone was stunned. This was the second floor, how did she climb up?

The Rainbow Dragon exhales, hiding its merits and fame.

Except for Yamabuki and Shonan Jonari, everyone else present knew Ryouna's identity.

Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, Ryouna locked her eyes on Ryuzaki Sumire, her target clear.

"Coach Ryuzaki, it's been a while. You should still remember me."

Of course, Ryuzaki Sumire would never forget the little girl in front of her. When she rushed over that year, Ryouna had already finished making trouble and was about to leave the Qingxue Tennis Club, so the two of them only met for the last time.

It was because of her that Yamato came up with the idea of ​​reforming Seigaku.

Ryuzaki Sumire has always been reserved about reform, and even opposed it.

In her opinion, samurai Nanjiro Echizen also started by picking up the ball in the first grade, and there was nothing wrong with that.

But Yamato insisted again and again, and even wanted to insist on reforms on the condition of his own resignation. Ryuzaki Sumire had no choice but to compromise.

Fortunately, the reform had a good effect, so she didn't say anything else.

After all, Ryuzaki Sumire is a veteran with many years of experience, and her momentum is no less impressive. Suddenly, the room was filled with smoke.

"Sis?! How did you get here so fast?!"

Chiye's noisy voice broke the serious atmosphere.

This place is quite far from Ryouna's school. She is so busy, I thought she would come at least tomorrow.

Liangnai rolled her eyes at him unhappily. If she hadn't been concerned about the boy's injuries, she would have used her fist to press against his temples and ravaged him severely.

"If I hadn't come so quickly, you wouldn't have even noticed that you were being tricked."

She ignored Chi Ye, who looked like he had eaten a bitter melon. She glanced around and found that she didn't see the person she wanted to see. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

She turned her attention back to the three coaches and raised three points of questioning.

"First of all, how could Akaya, a highly athletic tennis player, be so careless as to fall down the stairs?"

"Then can I make the following guesses?" Ryouna held up two fingers. "One, there's something wrong with the layout and construction of the stairs. Two, someone deliberately pushed him down the stairs."

The three coaches all had strange expressions on their faces, and the way they looked at Liang Na suddenly changed.

Either guess is a dead end.

If we admit the first one, then it is the responsibility of the Tennis Association. If we admit the second one, then it is the responsibility of their coaches for improper management.

Taro Sakaki cast an incredible look at Ryouna. She was so vicious at such a young age. It was not ordinary.

"Secondly, this accident is so inexplicable. As a coach, not only did he not care about the students' physical and mental health, but he also privately decided to put an end to this matter on behalf of Chiye?"

"Aka doesn't know how to protect himself. As an adult, do you want to just brush it off?"

Ryouna turned on her full strength and sneered at Ryuzaki Sumire, "You don't think you're very generous, do you?"

"Finally, if you don't investigate the truth behind this accident, can you guarantee the safety of all the contestants going forward?"

The arguments were well-reasoned and left everyone present speechless.

It's over. My sister is completely angry. Chi also swallowed his saliva tremblingly, afraid that he would be the next one to be taught a lesson.

The others were so shocked by Ryona's terrifying aura that they couldn't say a word, and they fell silent because of Ryona's words.

We are not fools, how can we not see that Ryuzaki Sumire wants to make a big thing small.

Taro Sakaki and Aoi Hanamura originally wanted to put the overall situation first, but after hearing Ryouna's series of questions, they realized how wrong this was.

Sakaki Taro spoke slowly: "Coach Ryuzaki, I think she is right. This really shouldn't end so hastily."

"This is not only a responsibility to Akaya, but also a responsibility to all the athletes in the training camp." Aoi Hanamura also agreed with his opinion.

Ryuzaki Sumire choked hard, and finally compromised, "Then I'll give you one afternoon. If you don't find any results from the investigation, this matter will end here."

"It's a deal." Ryona smiled confidently.

"If you need anything, feel free to ask me for help." Atobe Keigo tapped the teardrop mole on his face.

Others also said, "Yes, if we can help, please let us know."

Kamio and Ibu are also among them. After getting along with him for the past few days, I found that Kirihara Akaya is not as bad as I imagined.

"Thank you in advance." Ryona gave them a friendly smile.

At this moment, only Ryouna, Yukimura Seiichi and others were left in the room.

Chi Ye was stared at by Liang Nai and felt weak. A short pain was better than a long one. With a hard heart, he stretched his neck towards Liang Nai and said, "Sister, hit me. Don't be angry."

With his eyes tightly closed, he was ready. But he never expected that what he was waiting for was not a strangulation skill.

There was a sinking sensation beside the bed and a warm touch above my head.

Liang Na's voice rang in his ears, "Stupid Chi Ye has been wronged, you must be very scared. I know that our Chi Ye has always been a brave and kind child."

There is no imagined blame, but unexpected encouragement.

All of a sudden, Akaya hugged Ryona and burst into tears.

He was afraid of being discovered by Liang Nai. Yes, how could he not be afraid? From the moment he fell down the stairs, all the bad thoughts consumed him.

I was afraid that I would be seriously injured and that I would never be able to play tennis again.

How could he not be afraid? Of course he was afraid. At this moment, all his fear and grievances were released.

After crying enough, Akaye saw the three seniors gathered by the window through his tearful eyes. He realized belatedly that his face was getting hot and he let go of Ryouna with sobs.

"...I, I thought, sister, you would scold me."

"Why would I scold you if you're injured?" Ryona was both angry and amused.

Although she was very angry about Akaya's concealment, she knew the reason why he did so.

Chiye has a quick temper, but he has always been a simple and kind child.

She understood Akaye, and saving face was the most insignificant reason. He knew that Ju Xing didn't mean to push him down, so he didn't blame Ju Xing.

He also knew that if everyone knew that it was Ju Xing who did it, he was worried that she would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion.

Because Chi Ye understood this feeling best, it was like drowning, damp and suffocating.

But Akaya, human nature is far more complicated than you think.

"Akaye, I'm asking you seriously now, did you really fall down by yourself?"

"I--" Chiye opened his mouth, a little hesitant.

"Akaye, human hearts are complicated." It was the first time that Ryona spoke to him so earnestly.

It was also the first time I had a serious conversation with him about the sorcerer.

"Cursed spirits are the product of human negative emotions. As a sorcerer, I've seen too many ugly faces."

"A group of explorers were trapped in a cave by a cursed spirit. A second-level sorcerer took on the task of exorcising it, only to discover upon arrival that the originally second-level cursed spirit had become a quasi-special-level one."

"The disparity in strength was too great, and she was unfortunately injured. The cursed spirit broke two of her ribs, and she happened to fall at the feet of one of the explorers."

Ryona smiled sarcastically, "In the end, that person kicked the curser away in order to protect herself, and let the curse spirit eat her first."

Yukimura Seiichi looked at Ryouna's profile and felt a pain in his heart.

The others also vaguely guessed who the sorcerer was referring to.

"Fortunately, the sorcerer held on until the very last moment and killed the cursed spirit, which allowed everyone to survive."

"However, the person who took advantage of the situation not only didn't apologize to the sorcerer afterwards, but also made excuses for himself, claiming that he was just too scared and reacted in self-preservation."

Ryona looked into Akaya's eyes seriously, "What I want to tell you is that the other party will not appreciate what you have done."

"Even if she didn't mean to do it, she didn't admit her mistake, didn't seek help right away, and didn't even come to see you and say sorry."

"And Chiye, nothing serious happened this time, but what about next time?"

"What do you want our parents to do? What do you want us to do?"

What Ryouna didn't say was that the scumbag at the end actually took it for granted that the sorcerer should sacrifice his life to protect them.

She touched Chiye's drooping head and said, "If you do something wrong, you should apologize and accept the punishment. Your concealment is not helping her, it's hurting her."

"I, I understand."

Akaya took a deep breath, "It was Kikyo who pushed me."

Even though we had a premonition, everyone still got angry.

"But the surveillance cameras there are broken." Chiye buttoned the quilt, "Even if I say she pushed it, no one will believe me."

This is also one of the reasons why Chi is unwilling to tell the truth.

"We believe it." Yanagi Renji took out the hairpin Fuji Shusuke gave him, "Sei Gaku and Hyotei will believe it too."

"So, Akaye." Yanagi Renji's voice was firm but also a little comforting. "We are all behind you, don't be afraid."

Yukimura Seiichi also rubbed Akaya's head and said, "I won't let my members suffer injustice in such an unclear way. Akaya, you must trust the seniors."

Sanada Genichirō, who had been silent the whole time, also coughed twice and said, "Kirhara, don't let your guard down. Leave the rest to us."

“Wooooaaaaaaaa——”

Chi also stared at them blankly, moved to tears.

"Sister, and seniors! You, you are so kind to me!"

He thought of Liangnai's unusual way of entering the house, "Sister, why did you come in from the window? Are our parents on the way as well?"

"I'm glad you know, idiot." Ryona couldn't help but poke his uninjured shoulder.

"You really are not a worry at all."

After enough appeasement, it’s time to start settling the accounts.

"Do you know that I, your elder sister, borrowed Geto-sensei's Rainbow Dragon to fly here?"

"When mom and dad heard the news that you were injured, they were almost worried sick, but they couldn't leave, and you still wanted to hide it from us!"

Chiye was being talked down to less and less, not daring to make a sound.

Didn't you say you wouldn't scold him? Why are you still asking for revenge?

Ryouna was so dry-mouthed from talking that Yukimura Seiichi kindly handed her a cup of water.

She took a sip and continued, "Don't worry about the surveillance. I'll ask someone to see if it can be fixed."

With the mechanical pill's technique, there shouldn't be any problem. I'll ask him later.
