Amasawa Ichika and Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish

The first-grade students, unaware of the truth, were somewhat stunned. Moreover, the scores decreased sequentially from Class A to Class D. Was this a coincidence?

"Everyone, go back to your classrooms. It's time to tell you the truth about this school."

The first-grade homeroom teacher dispersed the first-grade students who had gathered there, and then, as required by the school, explained to them the true nature of the school.

The students in Class 1-D were completely stunned after hearing the teacher's message.

"These things were originally supposed to be told to you a month later, but Hosen caused a huge scene at the second graders' area at noon and was punished by the Class Points Student Council, resulting in a deduction of 100 Class Points."

At this moment, the students in Class 1-D realized that Hosen's seat was empty and he was not there.

"What about Hosen? Did he get expelled?"

"Expulsion? Won't that have some impact on the class?"

Looking at the students who were suddenly thrown into panic, Suma Norinori shook his head inwardly. Although he had heard about it before coming, he was still worried that Class D was so bad.

"Hosen has been suspended from school for a week for disregarding his elders and ignoring the Student Council's mediation."

Upon hearing this result, Class D erupted in uproar.

The students in the other three first-grade classes breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to Hosen, otherwise they wouldn't have known that they had already lost points.

In particular, Class C saw that their score of 866 points meant they had fallen behind the two classes ahead of them.

After school, Kushida immediately went to find Shuichi Kanda talk to him about Yagami.

Let's talk about it when we get back.

Back in the dormitory, Shuichi Kanda sat in the computer chair and looked at Kushida across from him.

"Kikyo, is Yagami really your junior?"

Not only Shuichi Kanda, but even Kamuro looked over curiously.

"Who knows? I don't even know that guy! I never saw anyone like that in the Student Council when I was in middle school!" Kushida gulped down the tea that Shuichi Kanda had poured for her, then said fiercely.

"Then why did you pretend to know him?" Kamuro asked, looking puzzled.

"Because Yagami is threatening her."

Shuichi Kanda's answer surprised Kamuro for a moment, and then she looked at Kushida.

"That's right, that guy was threatening me. If I hadn't admitted it, he definitely would have told me everything."

Yagami's statement that he was a member of the Student Council at that time was a signal.

"Kikyo, agree to team up with him."

After thinking for Shuichi Kanda suddenly spoke to Kushida.

"Huh? That guy knows about my past?" Kushida's expression was somewhat incredulous.

"That's precisely why you should agree to his request to form a team now; you must keep him calm until you can come up with a solution."

"I understand." Kushida nodded somewhat reluctantly.

"It would be best to find some time to investigate and see if he really knows about it. If he's just bluffing, then we can ignore him. But if he really does know, tell me immediately, and I'll deal with him."

At this point, Kushida nodded, and then at that moment, Kushida's phone received a text message.

"It was from Yagami," Kushida said after taking out his phone and reading the text message.

The OAA System contains not only information about each student but also their contact information, so it's not surprising that Yagami was able to contact Kushida.

What did he say?

Kushida didn't reply, but silently looked at the text message he received on his phone. Then he let out a long sigh, and his face turned gloomy.

"There's no need to probe Yagami anymore; he definitely knows about me."

"So, he really is your junior?"

I glanced at Kamuro; this kid really isn't very bright.

"While it's not impossible, I'm more inclined to believe that guy heard about it somewhere, perhaps even from the families of the victims."

Of course, there's another possibility that Shuichi Kanda didn't mention: that this guy is from Tsukishiro.

Aside from Kushida's classmates and the families of the victims of the Kushida, it wouldn't be difficult for the school's Acting Chairman to know a student's past information.

The school must know about Kushida's situation, otherwise they wouldn't have assigned her to Class D. So, if the school knows, it means that Tsukishiro also knows, which means that the student in the White Room he sent might also know.

"Don't worry, I'll confirm that guy's identity as soon as possible." At this moment, Shuichi Kanda could only comfort Kushida.

However, he didn't intend to just talk the talk. This Yagami was causing trouble right from the start, and Shuichi Kanda wouldn't feel comfortable until he figured out his true purpose.

Kushida could only nod.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Shuichi. I'm going to go play with my friends. Masumi, do you want to come along?"

"Hey? Do I have to come along too?"

Kamuro paused for a moment, then looked at Kushida Kikyo.

"Well, you're already in Class A, you should make more friends of the same sex."

As he spoke, Kushida reached out and grabbed Kamuro's arm.

"That's good, more social interaction is beneficial." Shuichi Kanda quickly nodded.

There's nothing I can do; my body just can't handle it.

"All right."

Kamuro reluctantly left with Kushida, and soon after, Shuichi Kanda received a message from Kamuro.

[Don't you dare sneak off to see Ichinose!]

[Okay, okay.]

Shuichi Kanda was slightly speechless. "I wanted to rest for a few days."

After Kamuro and Kushida left, Shuichi Kanda took out the Time TV from his Four-Dimensional Pocket. He wanted to investigate who this Yagami was.

Since the other party claims to be Kushida's junior, then at this time last year, no, the year before last, the other party must have been at the school Kushida mentioned.

Then, Shuichi Kanda took out his phone, opened the calendar app, and found a school day from two years ago. In order to avoid not being able to see anything, Shuichi Kanda also made a point of avoiding the tsunami that caused him to travel through time.

The chosen date was sometime in October of the year before last, which was a day during the second semester, when Kushida should still be in middle school.

After entering the date into Time TV and then locking onto Yagami Takuya, Time TV immediately displayed an image, but the image looked strange.

What's this?

The scene displayed on the Time TV was not a school Matoba, not a classroom, nor a playground; apart from Yagami Takuya, the person involved, there was only white surroundings.

Is it broken?

However, when Shuichi Kanda used the Time TV to investigate the tsunami incident, he didn't see this scene.

Wait, everything's white... this guy... he's from the White Room!

After taking a screenshot, Shuichi Kanda smiled.

This is truly unexpected and wonderful news!

Yagami is actually from the White Room?

Shuichi Kanda originally didn't plan to select someone for the White Room from among the 160 people, because that would be too expensive.

Assuming there's only one student in the first grade who's in the White Room, the probability of not finding them after 80 consecutive searches is 1/2. Even if each student searches for one minute, it would require an investment of 8 million Private Points.

And that's not the key issue. The key issue is that the power of the items is probably insufficient.

Using Time TV to help Ayanokoji find someone is simply a losing proposition.

But now...

Although it's unclear what Yagami is planning, his deliberate exposure has provided Shuichi Kanda with unexpected information.

Perhaps, we can use this to get Ayanokoji to do something.

You're trying to use me, aren't you?

So, it's not unreasonable for me to take advantage of you, is it?

No, this isn't exploitation, it's a transaction. I help you find the people in the White Room, and you help me out during an exam. It's fair, right?

Having figured all this out, Shuichi Kanda little tune as he went out. He hadn't gone out to buy anything earlier because he had something to do, but now he was going to go for a stroll.

However, when he returned to his dormitory, he was ambushed.

What are you doing?

In the dormitory's first-floor lobby, Shuichi Kanda had just walked in when he was stopped by Sudo and Ayanokoji. A short while later, Horikita also arrived, accompanied by a girl she didn't recognize.

This girl has long red hair tied in pigtails, with a strand of hair hanging down on each side of her face. She has a playful smile on her face, which looks very frivolous at first glance. Her orange inner layer with a black bow makes her look very unique, belonging to the sexy girl type.

"Um, actually..."

Sudo looked a little embarrassed, Ayanokoji remained silent, glancing around but showing no intention of moving aside.

"There's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Seeing how useless the two of them were, Horikita was somewhat annoyed by their incompetence.

"Help?" Shuichi Kanda was speechless. "You really can't do anything without me, can you?"

"There's no other way; we need a guy who can cook."

As she spoke, Horikita glanced at the ingredients that Shuichi Kanda.

"A guy who can cook?" Shuichi Kanda tilted his head, finding it a little strange. "Why?"

Horikita sighed, then glanced at the girl beside him.

"This is a junior from Class 1-A, Amasawa Ichika."

"Good afternoon, Kanda, I'm Amasawa Ichika from Class 1-A."

"Hello."

Shuichi Kanda immediately recognized her name after Horikita mentioned it.

1-A Amasawa Ikka (Ten shot awa itinat shot u)

Academic ability A (87)

Physical ability A-(83)

Flexible thinking ability D+(38)

Social contribution C+(57)

Overall ability B (68)

Although her overall abilities are similar to Horikita's, this girl is a formidable character with both academic and physical abilities at an A level. However, judging from her critical thinking and social contributions, she is probably someone who doesn't have many friends and doesn't really want to make friends.

"Is this the partner you found for Sudo?"

After learning about her background, Shuichi Kanda immediately considered this possibility.

"That's right, we ran into Amasawa- senpai by chance today, and she said she'd be Sudo's partner, but..."

"But I like men who can cook, and obviously Sudo- senpai doesn't fit that description." Horikita's words were cut short by Amasawa, who picked up the conversation with a smile.

"But I'm not a demanding person. It's fine if someone else cooks for me instead of Sudo- senpai." Amasawa's smile grew increasingly unrestrained. "Oh, right, it has to be a boy, girls can't just have sex!"

Looking at Amasawa Ichika with her devilish smile, Shuichi Kanda was speechless, feeling as if he had been unjustly attacked.

Chapter 292 Amasawa Ichika and the Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish

Looking at Sudo staring at him expectantly, Ayanokoji with a blank expression, Shuichi Kanda was speechless. What could he do? Of all the guys these people knew, he was probably the only one who could cook.

At least he didn't know who else in Class A was a good cook. During the Training Camp Exam, they even made a mess of the customized breakfast, so he couldn't count on them at all.

"Let's talk about the problems upstairs. What's the point of staying in the lobby like this?"

After glancing at the passersby, Shuichi Kanda spoke up.

After hearing Shuichi Kanda's softened tone, Horikita secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Shuichi Kanda had not directly refused and even invited them to his room to discuss the matter, it meant that there was still a chance for things to turn around.

"Eh? Are we going to Kanda- senpai's room? I've never been to a boy's room before," Amasawa Ichika said shyly.
