"I'm saying, I don't believe in this guy's mercy."
Listening to the D-Class students' discussion below, Kamio Tatsuya smiled and raised both hands to clap.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
"Well, I'll give you credit for figuring that out. Too bad there's no reward."
Kushida sighed.
"Then what exactly do you want, Kamio? As long as it's something we can offer, and it lets us save our classmates, I'll agree to anything."
"Kushida..."
Tsk, tsk, tsk. You'll agree to anything, huh? That's a dangerous thing to say.
Kamio Tatsuya looked Kushida up and down, then turned to the other D-Class students. They all looked deeply moved.
"What about the rest of you?"
"I have no objections. As long as we can save our classmates, I'll do anything too."
Hirata was the second to respond.
So that was it—he'd been waiting for Kushida to speak first. It made sense. Kushida was the one better suited to suggest something like this.
"I-I support what Kushida said too."
"I-I support it too."
At that, Kamio Tatsuya looked over at the D-Class students, contempt plain in his eyes.
Kushida had said that because she wanted to build her reputation. Hirata genuinely was willing to pay any price to protect his classmates.
As for the rest of you, heh. Don't make me laugh. You're only thinking about getting a deal done as quickly as possible so you won't be expelled, aren't you?
As for Horikita, she hadn't said a word. But she had no place to speak now.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Kamio Tatsuya was already standing at the lectern. He rapped on the desk to quiet the D-Class students.
"Since that's the case, I want D-Class to surrender to me completely."
Kamio Tatsuya's voice wasn't loud, but to the D-Class students it sounded like a clap
