There Is Truly Nothing Written Above

When she arrived at the Student Council, Kiryuin Fuka showed no respect whatsoever; she sat down and crossed her legs, acting as if she were the one in charge.

Tachibana Akane poured her a cup of tea.

After taking a sip, she said, "You didn't call me here just for tea, did you?"

Horikita Manabu tapped on the laptop on the desk and turned it around to show her a video—it was the footage of her being spanked yesterday.

Kiryuin rolled her eyes at Horikita; if he weren't the Student Council President, she would have already snatched the laptop and smashed it.

"You had a contest with a first-year Class A student yesterday and lost, correct? Afterward, you gave him a notebook."

"Is that all?" Kiryuin tilted her head. "I did give him a notebook, but there was nothing written in it."

"Then how do you explain this?" Horikita opened another video, which showed Yagami Shizuka explaining the S System to Class A.

"Huh?" Kiryuin was also full of curiosity. She had been wondering why Yagami Shizuka only asked her for a notebook.

Now, she saw Sakayanagi Arisu flipping through the blank notebook while someone else was holding court.

How could these two things be connected?

"Wait a second, don't you have eyes? That's the notebook I gave him, and there's nothing on it. And is this uninhabited island survival thing even real? I have no idea."

Horikita frowned in thought. "Is it possible you leaked information to him through other means?"

"Do you have proof? Can the Student Council President make false accusations without evidence? You can check my phone's chat logs and contact history, and you can check the places I visited yesterday. If you don't have proof, I can sue you for slander."

Kiryuin Fuka was truly not afraid of the Student Council.

Not to mention she hadn't done it, even if she had, not even the school's Chairman would dare convict someone without evidence, let alone a Student Council President.

"President, I think the question we should be discussing is how Yagami Shizuka obtained that information," Tachibana interjected.

"Regardless of the reason, isn't obtaining information a testament to his own ability?" Seeing that they were no longer questioning whether she had provided the intel, Kiryuin became uninhibited.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted? Are you going to go ask him for an explanation? If you do that, what's the point of this exam? In any case, if he discovered the information through his own skills, he hasn't violated any rules. That's his own capability."

Kiryuin's words were very reasonable, and they had no choice but to concede.

This first-year exam was designed this way; as long as no specific rules were broken, or as long as he couldn't be caught breaking them, the information he obtained remained valid.

"What I don't understand is why he asked you for a notebook. He couldn't have understood all the rules in such a short time. If he had already discovered the rules, why would he need to find you..." Horikita offered his own perspective.

"Is there a possibility that he was just trying to hide his tracks? He might have researched this school before enrolling. Besides, it's impossible for Sakayanagi Arisu to know nothing, right? Didn't he say Sakayanagi told him?" Kiryuin seemed to enjoy discussing this, her face betraying hidden excitement.

"Wait a moment." Horikita raised a hand to interrupt.

Horikita felt things were getting convoluted and wanted to organize the information first. "Didn't you see that Sakayanagi Arisu looked just as clueless? By that same logic, if Sakayanagi Arisu already knew the information, there would be no need for such trouble. There is only one possibility: this information has nothing to do with Sakayanagi Arisu or you. He discovered it himself."

"You mean to say he knew all the information before enrolling, then locked onto me after entering to make me his scapegoat, and had Sakayanagi Arisu help him play the part in class? A double-sided scapegoat strategy to clear his name completely?" Kiryuin acknowledged the possibility.

With two people helping, he could claim at any time that it was the other person's fault, forming a closed loop with no flaws.

Tachibana spoke up at this moment: "Some information couldn't have been known before enrollment, and it's even less likely for Sakayanagi to have known it. We in the Student Council only just obtained this information ourselves, so the theory that he obtained it before enrollment doesn't hold up."

Hearing this, Kiryuin thought of another possibility. "Then it must be that your Student Council leaked the information, and you're blaming me?"

Horikita glanced at Tachibana and then at the other Student Council members, his mind racing as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"I apologize for the trouble. This matter truly has nothing to do with you. You may leave." Horikita pointed coldly toward the door.

"Wait, I think I can discuss that student with you further. Can you give me some of his files? I am the top disciple of Detective Conan, after all; I think I could be of help... Hey, hey..."

Under Horikita's icy gaze, Kiryuin was dragged out of the Student Council room by Tachibana.

"So, someone worth betting on has finally appeared."

Horikita adjusted his glasses; his mind was exceptionally clear now.

He did not believe anyone in the Student Council had leaked the information, because the intel Tachibana mentioned was known only to him and her, and Yagami Shizuka had only been in contact with a few people.

So, how did Yagami Shizuka know the information?

Through a teacher? Or the Principal?

He couldn't figure it out, and the more he couldn't, the more he felt that Yagami Shizuka's talent was unfathomable.

And such a person was exactly who he wanted to find.

After Tachibana returned, Horikita asked, "What is Kiryuin Fuka's physical fitness level?"

"Her comprehensive sports score is A+. She is known as a 'super athlete' among the second-years, even stronger than you, President."

"Cough... cough!" Horikita choked on the tea he was drinking.

The main thing was that he hadn't even known about such a person until now.

Furthermore, if a girl with such universal athletic ability could lose to that first-year student, didn't that just prove even more that the student was extraordinary?

"President, her academic performance is also at the A+ level, meaning she scores over 95 in every subject, with most being perfect scores," Tachibana added as a reminder.

Horikita Manabu felt even more surprised; he was certain that not another student like Kiryuin could be found in the entire school—not in the third year, nor among any of his former seniors.

Therefore, Yagami Shizuka approaching her had been a calculated move, and even the timing and location of his appearance to help pay the bill had been planned in advance.

"Was Kiryuin's insufficient balance also calculated beforehand?" Horikita Manabu muttered to himself. If one were to carefully analyze the entire process, it would be enough to instill fear.

"School has just begun; how is it that Kiryuin is already out of points?"

Tachibana Akane looked over some transfer records and gathered data, saying, "She owed quite a bit of debt last semester, and because the class points dropped suddenly, she had almost nothing left after paying it off."

Horikita Manabu rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought. He felt that finding out about her insufficient balance wouldn't be difficult, but it was strange that no one had noticed the process of investigating Kiryuin.

Meanwhile, in the Class A classroom, the teacher who had come to give the lecture was bewildered.

They had never seen students so proactive and serious on the very first day of class.

After glancing at Sakayanagi Arisu, the teacher felt a sense of inspiration, proud to have a student like Sakayanagi Arisu in their class.
