Now Kamio Tatsuya understood.
Generally speaking, knowingly providing someone with a weapon to hurt another person was obviously a crime—specifically, intentional assault.
That was why Amasawa had repeatedly stressed that she had only provided Hosen with the knife he needed for his self-harm act, not a knife to hurt Ayanokoji.
Those were two entirely different things.
If Amasawa had known Hosen was going to stab Ayanokoji and still provided him with the knife, then there was no doubt she was an accomplice.
But Amasawa's purpose had clearly been to steal the knife so Hosen could stage his self-harm act and frame Ayanokoji.
That was a different matter altogether.
As a student from the White Room, Amasawa had even studied the entire Japanese legal code, so she naturally knew the two situations weren't the same.
The former would make her guilty of intentional assault, while the latter might not. At any rate, the punishment for the latter would be much lighter.
However, she had forgotten that this wasn't a courtroom. It was a school!
The school's judgment didn't have to be as rigorous as the law. It only had to follow the school rules.
"Looks like the result is obvious now," Nagumo sighed. "Amanawa Ichika knowingly provided a weapon that could injure someone, and she also stole Ayanokoji's property.
"Taking all the charges into account, Amanawa Ichika is expelled, and First Year Class A will lose 300 Class Points."
There was nothing to be done. This year's First Years were simply too outrageous. They'd actually resorted to using a knife—something even Nagumo hadn't expected.
He didn't want someone to suddenly stab him one day.
Amasawa froze for a moment, apparently not expecting to be expelled. Then she instinctively looked toward Tsukishiro, who had been listening to the hearing the entire time.
