Hosen: What's Going On with the Second-Years? Is It Really That Big a Deal That Two People Got Hurt? (Continued)

But.

"I didn't see the criminal."

Two of the cameras captured two or three groups of people, but these did not match the scene of their murder in Komiyama.

When they filmed it again, it showed Hachiman others.

But at that time, it was them who went to find Shinohara and the others.

"Perhaps the culprit avoided the cameras," said Nanase, poking the ground with a stick for a while. "Because the camera coverage isn't comprehensive. Like where Shinohara and Komiyama were just now, there's a mountain behind them. Maybe the culprit climbed the mountain and avoided the cameras."

"Would a prisoner really go through the trouble of climbing up a mountain to attack?" Yukimura found it unbelievable. It must be incredibly strenuous.

"Um..." Nanase said, standing up.

"I have troubled you both yesterday and today."

"But today, I think it's better to go back and act with my team."

"I'm so sorry to have bothered you these past few days." With that, the junior nodded to everyone, then picked up her backpack and turned to leave.

"This junior is so energetic," Yukimura commented.

Hachiman remained silent.

Although this junior student's goal Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, she is actually a person with a strong sense of justice.

So she probably felt that Hōsen was only targeting Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, and that innocent people had been dragged into Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. She was furious, so she probably went back to confront Hōsen.

But.

Could it really be Hōsen?

Hachiman pondered the Matoba where he had just discovered Shinohara and the others.

As Nanase said, there is a mountain behind them. If the criminal climbs over the mountain from there, he can avoid the cameras.

However, the mountain is very steep, and climbing it is like rock climbing. Moreover, there are no safety measures, so most people cannot or dare not climb it.

Would Hōsen really go to such lengths to attack Shinohara and his group?

You see, Hōsen's target is Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. If he were to attack Shinohara and be discovered, he would be the first to be expelled from school. Hōsen wouldn't do something so foolish.

Hachiman was well aware that the reason he was able to completely control First-year Class D this time was largely due to the fact that he brought up the [Student Council 'Hachiman authority to expel a student unconditionally].

In other words, Hōsen really didn't want to be expelled from school.

"Nanase has left..."

"Speaking of which..." And Yukimura finally showed some intelligence for once. "Kiyotaka Ayanokoji."

"What possibility is it Hōsen?"

"For example, Hōsen knows we're here," he said.

Because he had previously been part of the Hōsen Agreement, he witnessed Hōsen's methods and was almost scared to death.

They also learned that Hōsen and the others had received an anonymous mission: dropping out of Kiyotaka Ayanokoji would earn Ayanokouji 20 million Private Points.

20 million is equivalent to 16 million in cash, which is enough for a student to take a risk.

But Yukimura felt that this didn't make sense.

Because Hōsen had previously undergone surgery, and it was even photographed.

Do they really have the guts to attack again?

"I don't know," Kiyotaka Ayanokoji said expressionlessly.

His face is often expressionless, so others can't tell what he's thinking.

"I've decided to go back to where we started," Hachiman said. "So we'll be parting ways here."

"Two of my team members forfeited," Hachiman said.

"Then we..." Yukimura hesitated. Ike also withdrew because he had to go take care of Shinohara.

Then their group only had 2 people left.

"We'll stay and continue the exam," Kiyotaka Ayanokoji said. "As for Yukimura ... we'll split up if necessary."

"Or, Yukimura, you can go back to the starting point with Hachiman Hikigaya and the others first."

In other words, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji also considered whether Shinohara and the others were attacked because of his involvement.

Therefore, it was decided to separate Yukimura as well.

But.

"I will stay," Yukimura said quickly.

Leaving at this time would be like deserting. Besides, he already knows that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is being targeted. So, leaving now wouldn't be safe for her either.

"Tonight at midnight will be the sixth day. We can check the GPS then," Yukimura said. "Then we can go find Hirata!"

Hirata!

Hirata was also very strong in fighting before.

It gives people a strong sense of security, and it also reveals that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji has been put on the wanted list to be expelled from school.

Therefore, it is necessary to stick together in times like these.

In this way.

Everyone made their decisions, and so they parted ways without even having lunch.

Ibuki has been privately discussing being paired with Hikigaya Hiyori Hachiman Hikigaya, and needs Hiyori to protect Hachiman's safety.

At first, Ibuki didn't think there was any risk in this kind of exam.

But we are now becoming more vigilant.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful. Since we left the starting point in the morning, the return trip is not far now.

After a two-hour journey, at 2 p. m., Hachiman and his companions returned to their starting point.

"That was a real surprise."

Classmate Sakayanagi was still on her recliner.

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had actually returned, Sakayanagi Arisu greeted them.

But.

Hachiman walked right past her and headed to the school's supply depot.

As I saw this morning, the person in charge of today's supply depot is Ms. Chie Hoshinomiya hair looks fluffy and flowing.

"Hachiman Hikigaya ignored you just now," Sakayanagi Kamuro watermelon.

"Idiot." But Sakayanagi Arisu gripped her cane and stood up. "Something must have happened."

"This is the first time I've seen Hachiman."

Yes.

Hachiman is a bit angry right now.

Because if it is confirmed that White Room student did it, then why did you White Room student target Kiyotaka Ayanokoji instead of an ordinary student?

And.

What if things get so big that the exam can't be held as scheduled due to problems?

Certainly.

The main issue was that they noticed Shinohara and the others weren't in good condition.

If they remain undiscovered, trouble will ensue. At least, Hachiman enjoys exploiting and plundering points from this school for his own future development.

However, it's not the case that we can disregard the safety of the students.

Hachiman came to Hoshinomiya-sensei.

"Teacher, could you show me the registration form for the bracelet changes over the past two days?" Hachiman asked.

According to the exam rules, all students' wristbands must remain on their bodies and cannot even be removed.

However, we also took into account the possibility of unexpected issues causing problems with the bracelet's functionality.

Therefore, if the wristband is found to be damaged, it needs to be replaced at the starting point within 24 hours.

The reason why Hachiman wanted to change the information on the bracelet was quite simple.

If White Room student did this instead of Hōsen and his group, then the risk of it pointing to them would be eliminated.

So.

It won't appear on the surveillance footage.

At the same time.

The wristband has a location tracking function.

So.

Even if the video footage doesn't capture it, it's still possible for someone to have passed by the crime scene.

So the only way to deal with this is to break the bracelet and disable the GPS positioning.

Then it's possible that the other party will come back to replace the bracelet.

"No, that won't do." But Hoshinomiya-sensei refused outright. "This has to be kept secret from the students."

"Although I would like to tell you, this is my duty."

In other words, Chie Hoshinomiya also needs to follow the rules.

"Well then." Hachiman took a cell phone out of his pocket. "Hoshinomiya-sensei, do you know whose cell phone this is?"

The cell phones that Hachiman took out were the same model as those of the students.

White shell.

Does that mean Hachiman didn't submit his phone before the exam? Hachiman Hikigaya, you're cheating!

But.

Hoshinomiya noticed a herringbone-shaped scratch about the size of a thumbnail on the back of the phone case.

And who happens to know the phone number of the person with this Hoshinomiya?

"Hehe..." Hoshinomiya seemed to chuckle.

Then.

"Then I'll check it out." Chie Hoshinomiya quickly changed her words.

Clearly, rules mean nothing to her.

However, she probably hasn't received any news yet.

He immediately perked up when he saw the phone in Chabashira's hand.

So they started violating the rules.

They immediately took out the registration form.

"You're right. After all, we're surviving on a small island. Although the wristbands distributed by the school are of high quality, three students have replaced their wristbands in the past few days."

Hachiman looked at the information on the registration form.

Two of the contacts were acquaintances.

The first course.

Yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, Utsunomiya from First Year Class C came to change his bracelet.

At 1:30 today, before Hachiman and the others returned, another person came back to change their bracelet.

The other person's name is Yagami Takuya.

Although I thought this White Room student was somewhat unreliable, I was surprised that he was this unreliable.

"Hachiman, did you find any useful information?" Hoshinomiya asked.
