As for the personal belongings he had bought over the past month, he had no interest in taking them.
With slightly heavy steps, he began walking toward the school gate.
When he had first arrived last month, the entrance had been covered in cherry blossoms. Now, on May 1st, the blossoms had not completely fallen yet, and the expanse of pink made for a rather pleasant sight.
But that scenery no longer belonged to him.
He was no longer a student of High School of Advanced Education.
Still, he did not feel much resentment now.
Rather—
"It was quite an interesting experience."
He muttered to himself.
Outside, he had always been someone who feared neither heaven nor earth. Yet after coming to this school, he had encountered three monsters in a row and been taught a harsh lesson almost three times consecutively.
"There are always higher heavens and greater people."
But he believed that this experience would become nourishment for him someday.
That was right.
Kazuomi Housen would not stop here.
Before long, he noticed a man standing at the school gate with bowl-cut hair and a face that never smiled.
The other man was still just as unlikable.
And perhaps his sleep had been terrible as well.
"Come out already," said Sumakiden, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-D. "I don't have much time to waste on you."
"Let's make this clear. You no longer belong to this school, and you are not allowed to disclose anything that happened here to the outside world."
"Also, you no longer need to interfere in matters concerning Ayanokouji."
"You must keep that confidential as well," the teacher said.
?
Housen frowned.
His arrangement concerning Ayanokouji had been an agreement between him and Principal Tsukishiro. Why did his homeroom teacher know about it too?
