Nanase Tsubasa chose to stand in front of Horikita Suzune at the last moment. On that point alone, there was nothing to criticize about her in this incident.
"Goodbye, President." Nanase Tsubasa gave Shiraishi Makoto a slight bow. After watching him leave, she turned to Hosen Kazuomi. "Do you have gauze, iodine, or anything like that in your room?"
"You don't need to worry about me." Hosen Kazuomi took off his jacket and forcefully tore open the lining, then pulled the knife embedded in his leg out. He immediately tied the strip of cloth he had just torn off around the wound to stop the bleeding.
Watching Hosen Kazuomi limp out of the grove, Nanase Tsubasa turned back to look at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka merely met Nanase Tsubasa's gaze in silence, but a heavy air gradually began to radiate from her.
"Since Ayanokouji-senpai knows about the bounty, I won't go into too much detail." Nanase Tsubasa's eyes grew sharper. "But I'm helping Hosen not just because this benefits the class."
"I don't think Ayanokouji-senpai is suited to living at this school."
With that, Nanase Tsubasa turned and left the grove as well.
"She seems to know you?" Horikita Suzune came over to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's side and couldn't help asking.
Until now, she had only known that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had been hiding his abilities, but she had never demanded that he give it his all. Compared with Kouenji Rokusuke, who constantly dragged the class down, it was already pretty good that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka occasionally helped the class.
But what had happened today had somewhat overturned her worldview. She found it difficult to understand what could make the school authorities lower themselves to target Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
Previously, Shiraishi Makoto had probably been the only one who knew Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's true circumstances.
