Chapter 29
Instructor Onizuka was speechless for a moment, but still answered first: "He will drop out of school."
[After all that trouble, all you get is expulsion. Should you use your persuasion skills to sentence him to death? Guaranteed the suspicion level will skyrocket!]
Hearing the system's encouragement, Bo Yezhai, maintaining a cold exterior, muttered to himself: [First of all, this level of suspicion is too risky; there's no need to be rash. Secondly, what do you take me for?]
System: [Of course I don't think you're some kind of pervert who gets happy by killing people you don't like. I just think you're definitely dissatisfied with this result.]
It's alright, I knew it would turn out like this.
Usakabe Saiki remained remarkably calm: "[What expectations do you have for a country where the existence of the death penalty makes little difference? You've seen Japanese dramas, haven't you? Let's not even talk about how his first shot was an accident, and the second shot was considered provocation, especially since the bullets were training rounds issued by the police academy. Even someone who attempted murder at the police academy only gets expelled; they don't even have to write a self-criticism, it's considered nothing happened—that's already pretty good.]"
The system, clearly unaccustomed to Japanese dramas, was utterly shocked: [Attempted murder only results in expulsion? Are you talking about police academy?]
"[It's a police academy, you don't think everyone who gets into a police academy is a good person, do you? Where do corrupt cops come from? Believe me, at least seven people in this graduating class used to be bullies, and this guy is one of them.]" Bo Yezhai revealed and mocked, "[So naive, why are you acting like a suspicion system? Go be a trust system.]"
system:【…………】
After reciting the system until he was completely speechless, Usoya Saiki slowly replied to Instructor Onizuka, "I have no objection."
Instructor Onizuka: "..."
Suspicion from Instructor Onizuka began to rise rapidly.
His tone became somewhat hesitant: "I understand you might be a little unhappy, but he was frightened, and the fact that he can't become a policeman in the future is a form of punishment..."
Usoya Saiki interrupted in a very disrespectful manner, using the honorifics that Hanchuan Shenliu would only pay special attention to under his identity: "Excuse me, what I just said was that I have no objection. You don't need to explain so much. I completely understand."
Instructor Onizuka: "..."
It's precisely because you said you had no objections that I felt something was off!
How could you not have an opinion? How could you possibly not have an opinion!
You were held at gunpoint before. Even if it was a training round, it could still hurt someone at that distance. Would dropping out of school solve the problem?
Wait, he seems to have skipped over the complaints... I see, no objection doesn't mean there are no complaints, right?
Instructor Onizuka barely managed to convince himself.
Bo Yezaki didn't say much, only seemingly agreeing, which earned him a lot of suspicion.
It's not always effective to say strange things intentionally. As long as you master the techniques and timing, you can still increase your suspicion value by speaking normally. This operation left the suspicion value system in awe.
Instructor Onizuka remained silent, but Usaku Saiki spoke up first.
"Did you call me here just to talk about this? I fully support the school's judgment."
For some reason, Instructor Onizuka felt uncomfortable every time he heard him use honorifics: "No, explaining his handling plan to you is only one thing. I have other things to say to you."
Looking at the young man in police uniform standing opposite him, who seemed completely calm and composed, as if he really didn't think he had any problems, Instructor Onizuka knew that he couldn't expect this guy to reflect on his actions, so he could only ask him the question himself, feeling a bit annoyed.
"Why did you provoke him? Don't you know it's dangerous? What if he actually hit you?"
"I was wrong," the young man replied crisply.
Instructor Onizuka was somewhat dazed: "…………"
Huh? He's admitting his mistake so quickly? I thought he'd make some excuse... Why is he admitting his mistake so fast? Is there some kind of conspiracy going on?
No, no, no, how could he think of his student like that? Although the guy is indeed a bit suspicious, he hasn't done anything really wrong so far...
All of Instructor Onizuka's planned lines were rendered useless. Feeling like he was punching cotton, he could only say dryly, "Well... since you know you were wrong, write a self-criticism."
Students can be incredibly difficult, which can be frustrating. But then suddenly they become easy to manage, which can be just as frustrating. Life is truly unpredictable.
Bo Yezaki readily agreed.
Instructor Onizuka took a deep breath and changed the subject: "I want to ask you something else. Did you learn how to disassemble guns from anyone before?"
“There are illustrations in the textbook.”
"...So you looked at the paper diagrams, and then on your first try, you were able to disassemble it with one hand faster than I could with both hands, is that what you mean?"
Bo Yezhai nodded.
Instructor Onizuka remained expressionless: "Do I look like someone who's easy to fool? You could at least say you've disassembled model guns before."
Bo Yezhai readily agreed: "I've disassembled model guns before."
Instructor Onizuka: "………………"
The instructor glared at him for a long time, took several deep breaths, and frantically chanted in his mind, "This kid is a victim, this kid is a victim," before he managed to keep his voice from uttering a shout.
He used to think this guy was just going through the motions and not putting in any effort, but now it seems he did put in some effort, though not much. He just copied it verbatim right in front of him!
In fact, Instructor Onizuka still had many doubts, but seeing this guy who had caused the biggest incident since the start of the semester still wearing his police uniform and standing obediently in front of him, and remembering that the reason he had become like this was because Kenji Hagiwara was almost accidentally injured...
Then he recalled the answer that had troubled him and his colleagues for so long during the interview...
He thus put all his questions back into his stomach.
Since Han Chuan Shenliu is still in this world, and is still willing to wear a police uniform and stand calmly in front of him, perhaps it's better to maintain the status quo rather than digging too deep.
"Sigh, never mind. Just be careful in the future and don't do anything so dangerous. This is a police academy. If you need anything, come to me, your instructor. Don't try to do it yourself, understand?"
Seeing Instructor Onizuka's helpless yet relieved expression, and his apparent lack of intention to ask any further questions, Usoppei Saiki felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"……Understood."
"Okay, you can go now."
Bo Yezhai bowed and left the office.
Kenji Hagiwara was waiting for him outside his dormitory. When he saw him return, she first looked him over, but regretfully couldn't tell anything. So she asked, "Are you alright? What did the instructor say to you?"
"Let me write a self-criticism." Usakabe Saiki took out his key, opened the door, and let Hagiwara Kenji in.
"Haha, when I went to the restroom, I heard everyone complaining about writing self-criticisms."
After all, apart from the two people directly involved, the rest of the students in the class were just stunned and did nothing, yet they were inexplicably given dozens of pages of self-criticisms. Everyone felt it was an undeserved disaster, and there was a lot of resentment. They held a deep grudge against the person who fired the shot.
We haven't offended anyone!
However, today's events were more direct than any verbal instruction, and these students will likely remember the details of checking the safety and the direction of the gun muzzle from now on.
Bo Yezaki did not respond, but simply sat down at his desk and took out his manuscript.
Kenji Hagiwara asked curiously, "Have you ever written a self-criticism?"
"……No."
"Can you write it?"
"No." Bo Yezaki glanced at him. "You'll write it for me?"
“Sure.” Kenji Hagiwara readily agreed. “After all, you’re standing up for me, aren’t you? Hmm.”
He paused as he bent down to approach the desk, then laughed awkwardly, "My tailbone hurts a bit, but I checked and it's nothing serious, I just bumped it... I'm telling you this so you won't blame yourself. You were trying to save me, after all. Training rounds can kill people too."
"...I told you it wasn't for you, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment."
Usoya Saiki's brows furrowed involuntarily.
The system responded sarcastically: "Standing up for a friend is nothing to be ashamed of; it's just a shame about his suspicion level. Look, he hardly suspects you anymore."
"He only considered me a friend because he thought I was a good person who would stand up for what's right, but you know what's really going on... I don't intend for him to know me, and I don't consider this friendship." Usakabe Saiki stated coldly, "I simply hate having cockroaches constantly staring at me, so I just got rid of them."
System: [Fine, I believe you! I can't stand you people. I'm not some heartless system; what's wrong with making friends? What's so hard about admitting it?]
I told you this isn't friendship, he's not...
[Alright, with your lousy acting skills, you're nothing without the "behind-the-scenes halo." I think aside from being a chatterbox, he understands your true nature better than vodka... What kind of weird fastidiousness do you have? Even your mother might not truly understand you. Haven't you ever had friends?]
Bo Yezhai's Record: [...]
system:【…………】
This silence, fraught with complex meaning, led the system to decide to shut up.
What did it say before?! It was even being sarcastic and sarcastic just now!!!
It's bound to some strange host. If the original body hadn't really never trained, it would have suspected that this guy was a lone wolf killer in his previous life.
The next day, Usui Saiki handed in the self-criticism that Hagiwara Kenji had helped her write.
Instructor Onizuka stared at the familiar handwriting and fell silent.
Has that Hagiwara kid forgotten that he wrote a lot of self-criticisms last year?!
Instructor Onizuka silently repeated "This is the victim" several times before barely ignoring it and indicating that it was over.
When Kenji Hagiwara returned, Instructor Onizuka complained to him about it: "You could have at least made him copy it again, why did you just hand in what you wrote?"
Kenji Hagiwara looked surprised: "I made him copy it again, didn't he?"
"...You're quite open and aboveboard, aren't you?"
Since leaving the office, Usakabe Saiki has been in a low mood, and after submitting his self-criticism, his mood has become even lower.
Even the system was puzzled and began providing psychological counseling.
After waking up in the middle of the night and slapping myself, the system decided to support its host in making friends.
[You're way too career-driven! My former host, even knowing it was for boosting scores, still felt bad about being misunderstood. You didn't seem to mind being suspected before, so why are you so uncomfortable with being treated kindly... So what if you're a little less efficient? With your methods, you'll make it back quickly! Don't get so anxious just because I keep urging you; that's because I didn't know your capabilities before... If they don't give you this meager amount, they don't care anyway, we don't even want it...]
When Bo Yezaki walked into the classroom without any regard for the system, the students who were discussing something suddenly fell silent.
Actually, I overheard everyone outside talking about that guy dropping out of school yesterday. It's normal for them to feel uncomfortable seeing him, another party involved.
Soon, everyone changed the subject and started discussing other things, but they couldn't help but keep their attention on Usaku Saiki.
Unconcerned about these people, Usakabe Saiki's gaze swept around the classroom before heading towards one person.
The man was initially unsure, but when Usakata Saiki stopped beside his table, he stood up, flattered, and said, "Kankawa-kun..."
His eyes sparkled, as if he was pleasantly surprised to be treated differently by Han Chuan Shenliu.
“I remember, you and that guy were neighbors?” asked Usakata Saiki.
The classmate paused for a moment, then immediately understood who the person was, and was overjoyed that Han Chuan Shenliu remembered such a detail: "Yes, he's my neighbor... Is there anything I can help you with?"
“Hmm…” Bo Yezaki pondered, “Then please pass on a message for me.”
"What?"
“'You still owe me an apology.'”
The classmate excitedly agreed.
Usakabe returned to his seat and calmly began tidying up his textbooks.
The system vaguely sensed something: […What are you trying to do? I remember you said you had no objection to the school's handling of the situation, that you expected this all along?]
"I don't want to do anything, I just want someone to pass on a message." Usoya Saiki said nonchalantly.
Oh, I thought you were taking your anger out on your friend because of his tailbone injury, which is fine now.
I've already said that.
Bo Yezaki tapped the table with his book.
I don't need friends.

Bonus chapter for landmines~
I highlighted a lot of funny anecdotes in the last chapter; you can find them in the highlighted section of the app's comments.
.
Well, some people probably already know what Bo Ye is planning... after all, there were hints in the previous text. Don't worry, he knows what he's doing.
This neighbor is someone who admires strength, someone who both fears and respects. Although there's a hidden agenda surrounding him, because he feels the principal has already approved his admission, he doesn't delve too deeply into conspiracy theories. (A naive and innocent type like this...)
.
Although Han Chuan is an alias, he is actually a facet of Bo Ye, because his terrible acting has exposed many details, such as his love of joking and his somewhat perverse sense of humor... especially his cold personality, which isn't something that can be concealed by a smiling face...
Currently, Hagiwara is indeed the person who understands Usuiba the most in this article.

P.S.: A police academy student who attempted murder and was only expelled—it's really like something out of a Japanese drama…
