War Blade Mukuro! Escalating Slaughter!
"Based on my initial investigation of the scene, I found that there was only one perpetrator."
Kirigiri Kyoko stroked her smooth, fair chin with her left hand, which was covered by a leather glove, looking thoughtful.
All 13 members of the Student Union died...
"That's interesting."
Wang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said leisurely, "This is not a serial murder case or Chamber of Secrets murder. Killing 13 people at the same time is not something that everyone can do."
Although he had taken some time to train in physical education and practice Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) techniques, and was somewhat confident in his one-on-one fighting ability, Wang Yan was unwilling to live on the same campus as a freakish character who could instantly kill thirteen people.
"Then... I'll go."
Kirigiri Kyoko nodded slightly and left without looking back.
Only Nanami Chiaki, Komaeda Nagito, Hinata Hajime, and Wang Yan remained on the scene.
"Hope's Peak Academy has had its share of murders before, but this is just too much, isn't it?"
Hinata Hajime looked somewhat frightened, but his face was full of anger. His voice was steady, with little tremor. "We must find that murderer! Bring him to justice!"
He was still a teenager overflowing with a sense of justice.
"Speaking of which, being able to instantly kill 13 Student Union elites while concealing one's identity..."
Komaeda Nagito's performance was completely different from Hinata Hajime's.
A sickly smile played on his face, and a hint of admiration shone in his eyes. "Thinking about it carefully, the murderer was actually a very capable and talented person..."
Upon hearing Komaeda Nagito's words, Hinata Hajime's expression froze, and he immediately began arguing with him.
Wang Yan was taken aback.
He realized something he had overlooked.
Talented people commit crimes...
Therefore, the murderer is not a student from the Preparatory Course, but an Ultimate individual.
There are currently only a few dozen talented individuals at the Hope's Peak Academy, and even including teachers and staff, the total number does not exceed one hundred.
In this situation, identifying the murderer is not a very difficult task.
The guy who committed such a crime, since he was able to leave a scene without any evidence, must not have been a fool who committed murder on a whim.
So...
What exactly is this guy trying to do?
Wang Yan's logical chain of reasoning is not complicated; anyone with a modicum of intelligence could figure it out.
Soon, similar opinions spread throughout the Hope's Peak Academy.
"Devil Fruit user commits a crime!"
"Because he was a genius, the school deliberately protected the murderer!"
Such comments are rampant and endless.
The school has repeatedly made statements in an attempt to appease the students who paid to enroll in the Preparatory Course, but these efforts have not been very effective.
Within the school, an invisible chasm exists between the Preparatory Course students and the gifted students in the regular courses.
Wang Yan, who remained a detached observer throughout, witnessed it all.
He vaguely felt that this scene was somewhat similar to the gender antagonism in online public opinion when he was in China.
Behind the scenes, there is an invisible force at work.
However, the other party was like Translucent, extremely cunning, and even the Ultimate detective, Kyoko Kirigiri Kyoko, could hardly find out their secrets.
Under such circumstances, the few students with higher "fighting skills" in the formal department almost dared not go out.
Wherever they went, they were stared at as if they were murderers, and whispered among themselves.
Public opinion can kill!
They attacked his heart with words!
The students of the Class 77 were the first to be affected.
[Ultimate Kendo Master] Peko Pekoyama, [Ultimate Yakuza Scion] Gundham Tanaka, [Ultimate Gymnast] Akane Owari, [Ultimate Manager] Monokuma...
These people, who appeared to possess considerable fighting skills, were fiercely hated by the Preparatory Course students, who even attacked them with rotten eggs and tomatoes, and wrote words like "murderer," "criminal," and "self-righteous madman" on their dormitory doors with paint.
Soon, the freshmen of Class 78 were also affected.
[Ultimate Martial Artist] Sakura Ogami, [Ultimate Biker Gang Leader] Mondo Owada, [Ultimate Soldier Akane Owari Mukuro Senba.
The treatment these three freshmen received was even worse than that of their predecessors from the Class 77.
In this situation, the school arranged for all the talented students from the Class 77 and Class 78 to move into the "Safe House".
Unfortunately, whether it was because a talented person emerged from the Preparatory Course or because someone in the school administration was eager to stir up trouble, the location of the Safe House was soon exposed.
The anger that the incompetent students in the Preparatory Course had been building up for days suddenly erupted.
Armed with steel pipes, baseball bats, and Molotov cocktails, they smashed and looted everything in sight, venting their anger and surrounding the talented individuals.
"Hey, you guys, if you want to fight, come at me!"
[Ultimate Biker Gang Leader] Mondo Owada watched as the swordswoman Peko Pekoyama was bullied by a group of talentless individuals and dared not fight back, and he was extremely annoyed. "What kind of man bullies a woman!"
As he spoke, Mondo Owada rushed into the crowd.
Wang Yan silently observed everything.
While he couldn't be described as completely powerless, he certainly couldn't play a significant role in this situation.
Mondo Owada's fighting prowess is truly remarkable, but he is, after all, only a mortal. He can fight ten against one, but he cannot defeat more.
Soon, he was beaten black and blue, and he struggled to keep himself upright, clutching a stolen baseball bat in his hand.
"I'm done!"
[Ultimate Soldier] Akane Owari is actually a rather beautiful girl.
She seemed unable to tolerate the situation and also rushed into the marching crowd.
When professionals handle it, the results are completely different.
Blood splattered everywhere, and screams of agony rose and fell!
Soon, blood flowed like a river.
In front of the Safe House, a pile of corpses lay!
Before entering the academy, Akane Owari was an absolute elite on the European mercenary battlefield!
To those children who grew up in a greenhouse, she is an Arlong!
Thirty-five people!
It only took seven minutes for Akane Owari and scatter the marchers!
Everything seemed to have settled down.
The farce seems to be over.
But Wang Yan's gaze toward Akane Owari gradually sharpened.
Although the other party had been a mercenary and killed countless people, with blood on their hands, they revealed many problems during this massacre of their classmates.
Don't misunderstand.
Wang Yan is not the kind of saint who can't distinguish right from wrong under any circumstances and thinks that killing is always wrong.
He simply noticed something that his companions had overlooked.
This woman Akane Owari...
When she stabbed others with a military dagger and a knife, her facial muscles were tense, but an uncontrollable, morbid sense of satisfaction surfaced in her eyes...
