"Ha..."
Ryuen Kakeru seemed to have heard some fantasy, his shoulders hunched slightly, and his eyes looking at Horikita Suzune were filled with pity as if he were looking at a fool.
"Hey, Suzune. Did you get hit so hard that your brain finally broke? No matter what, I lost too... Such bluff lines, given this Desperate Situation, can't even be considered a third-rate script."
He didn't even bother to take his hands out of his pockets. His condescending posture seemed to have convinced him of the prey's death.
"Unfortunately, it's not what you thought."
Horikita Suzune was not irritated. Her voice was still cold, even with a hint of strange determination.
"However, before the official announcement... first take out the phone in your pocket that is still recording the video."
"Keeping the camera pointed at this side, this boring little trick has no meaning."
The air solidified for a moment.
Ryuen Kakeru's originally mocking expression was slightly startled.
Then, the curvature of the corners of his mouth not only did not shrink, but instead grinned even wider.
"Oh..."
He slowly took out a mobile phone that had been recording from his pocket, pressed the stop button, and threw it in his hand.
"You have good observation skills, Suzune. Even when you are on the verge of mental collapse, you can still notice such details... It deserves praise."
It was prepared to record Horikita Suzune's desire for Extract Information and the way she knelt down, as a handle to completely control her in the future.
"But that's all." Ryuen Kakeru took the phone back.
"So what if you find out that I'm recording? This can't change the reality. Kinoshita's injuries are real, and your violent behavior has been recognized. If you still want to delay time here..."
"So I said, this is not procrastination."
Horikita Suzune No more words.
Under the dim corridor light, her finger gently pressed the play button.
In this empty Corner Tower, a recording without any modification and with a little noise sounded.
"Listen carefully, I will tell you now what to do in order to frame and defeat Horikita Suzune of Class D..."
That voice.
The kind of voice that is full of malice, arrogance and no concealment.
Several people present could not be more familiar.
That's the voice of Ryuen Kakeru.
Kushida Kikyo, who was standing aside, had a false smile on his face. The moment he heard these words, his pupils shrank violently.
The recording continues.
"I'll show you something interesting..."
Next, there is the specific tactical arrangement, how to make Kinoshita pretend to be injured and fall to the ground at the moment of contact.
"Although I don't intend to oppose your battle, you must give me a chance to fight Horikita..."
That's the voice of Class C Ibuki Mio.
The so-called "accident" turned into a naked "premeditated crime" at this moment.
"This... this is..."
Kushida Kikyo's voice was trembling.
She suddenly turned her head to look at Ryuen Kakeru, "Ryuen, what's going on! Why does this kind of thing..."
Why is it in the hands of Horikita Suzune?
If this spreads out, not to mention Horikita Suzune Expulsion, Ryuen Kakeru, Class C who participated in this plan, and even her as an accomplice, will face School Authority's severe punishment.
This is intentional harm.
"..."
Ryuen Kakeru said nothing.
The expression on his face was not as panicked as Kushida, but...
He listened to the voice from his cell phone when he was planning the conspiracy.
"Haha... hahaha!"
Suddenly, Ryuen Kakeru threw his head back and laughed.
"Interesting... really interesting!"
He lowered his head suddenly and stared at the mobile phone in Horikita Suzune's hand.
"Kikyo, don't you think this is interesting? This illustrates one thing..."
"It means that in Class C... there is a damn 'Mole'."
He finally realized it.
What Horikita Suzune said before, "The person who gave her the possibility of victory."
It turned out to be no bluff at all.
Someone revealed all of his most secret plans under his nose, and even recorded it and gave it to the enemy.
This is betrayal.
But for Ryuen Kakeru, the anger caused by this betrayal was actually mixed with a hint of... excitement about the unknown opponent.
"I never expected that the boat would capsize in a place like this."
Ryuen Kakeru put away his cynical attitude and his eyes became sharp, "It seems that the person who is hiding in the dark and controlling all this is my real opponent..."
At this tense moment, the situation reversed instantly.
A burst of leisurely footsteps came from the shadows of the corridor.
It was as if the time had been calculated correctly, as if he had been watching the show unfold.
"It seems... it has been solved."
That familiar voice sounded a bit careless.
Kazehara Tetsu slowly walked to Horikita Suzune's side, his casual look was incompatible with the tense and explosive atmosphere at the scene.
"It's okay."
Horikita Suzune turned off the recording and held the phone in his hand.
Although the situation was reversed, there was not much joy of victory on her face.
"Now that the problem of being blackmailed has been solved."
Kazehara Tetsu did not look at Ryuen Kakeru's murderous eyes, but turned his head and looked at Horikita Suzune beside him.
"So, as the party that holds the 'weapon' at this moment... don't you plan to make some compensation?"
"After all, someone just arrogantly asked you to kneel down and pay for it."
Situation exchange.
Now, the one holding the opponent's handle has become Horikita Suzune.
As long as this recording is handed over to the school, the fate of Ryuen Kakeru is self-evident.
"Compensation..."
Horikita Suzune looked at the two people in front of him.
She was silent for a moment.
"This matter... I'll let you decide."
Horikita Suzune made an unexpected decision.
"Huh?"
Kazehara Tetsu raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised by this answer.
"Leave such an important decision to me? That's not like you, Horikita."
He looked at her with a half-smile, "Could it be that you plan to use this favor... to repay my 'favour' to you?"
Use this opportunity to counterattack Ryuen and leave it to Kazehara Tetsu to extract benefits from Ryuen, thereby offsetting the favor of Kazehara Tetsu for helping.
Horikita Suzune shook his head.
"No."
She answered decisively.
"These are two different things. You provided this recording, and you planned this tactic. Therefore, the power to deal with Spoils of War should belong to you. You deserve it."
"So... this is not my repayment of gratitude to you."
"I will not use other people's information to repay my kindness, nor will I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
"I owe you a favor, I owe you... a price."
"I will use my own way and the way that belongs to Horikita Suzune to repay you in the future."
