When everyone received the list of suspects from Hachiman, they all checked the OAA system.

Then I looked up information about Yagami Takuya from First Year Class B.

Then I learned that the other person's Academic Ability was A, but their physical ability was only C.

It looks very ordinary.

According to the account, the person who wanted to attack Shinohara and Komiyama was a very skilled individual, which is why they needed to travel in groups of five or six.

Based on the information obtained, there seems to be some problem with the list of prisoners provided by Hachiman.

Only.

Out of trust in Hachiman, Kanzaki did not hesitate and directly arranged for the students to arrest him.

At the same time.

He felt uneasy.

Because I was looking at the data from OAA, I knew that Yagami Takuya's strength was quite average.

The rankings also show that Yagami's ranking is not high.

But.

What if, what if Yagami Takuya hiding his true strength?

Then the situation becomes dangerous.

Why would the other party conceal their strength?

Then what is the specific purpose?

Is he like Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, serving as a secret weapon for the class? However, according to the information we have, Yagami Takuya became a trusted figure among the students of First Year Class B shortly after enrolling.

In other words, he is the Class representative.

They're Class representative now, so they're quite conspicuous.

So why is it still necessary to hide it?

This kind of thing is terrifying when you think about it more deeply.

Therefore, Kanzaki became more vigilant.

"Yagami Takuya, is that you?"

"They attacked students in our class!"

While the boys in Second Year Class B are reasonable, the boys in Ryuen's class are... used to be the violent ones, and they've all been in fights.

So.

They wouldn't be so bothered by losing a fight and getting injured.

But.

Komiyama was ambushed, which even forced him to forfeit the match.

This is something that cannot be tolerated.

"It seems like the seniors are talking about something terrible," Yagami Takuya said with an innocent expression. "I could not do it, and I would never do such a thing."

"Furthermore, since you're targeting me like this, what evidence do you have, seniors?"

"As for evidence—"

The students from Second Year Class D, who had been so aggressive just moments before, seemed to pause for a moment.

Because of evidence and such.

No.

It is said that Hachiman immediately checked the surveillance footage, but did not capture the criminal's image.

But at that moment, two first-year students were brought over from a distance by Sanada from Second-year Class A.

The first-grade students spoke up.

We also know that someone was injured yesterday.

"Then some older students asked us about the situation."

"We were passing by in that area at the time."

"Then."

One of the First-year Class D said, "I think I saw Yagami back then."

"Because Yagami is so fast, I thought I was seeing things."

"I didn't see Yagami's face clearly, but I think it's very likely that it is Yagami," another student added.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yagami.

Meanwhile, Yagami Takuya stared at the two First-year Class D.

Because, given his speed, he deliberately avoided the cameras, while the two first-year students were questioned by the upperclassmen simply because they appeared under the cameras.

So.

It's impossible for those two first-year students to see him.

So.

This means that the two of them committed perjury.

Yagami's brows furrowed slightly.

Because.

He had already realized that these older students were there to ambush him.

Now they're even using perjury.

But.

It's obvious that just two students were injured and forced to leave, yet almost half a grade had to be mobilized to stop him. Are the students in this school really that united?

Thinking this, Yagami noticed that the upperclassmen suddenly looked back.

Immediately afterwards, Yagami Takuya noticed that Hachiman Hikigaya, whom he had met in the grip strength measurement project yesterday, was leading a group of people toward him.

In other words...

Is it him?

It was he who organized this encirclement.

Yagami Takuya realized that the two students he attacked seemed to be members of Hachiman Hikigaya's group.

No wonder the other party took action.

Only.

Why were they targeting him? How did they target him?

You see, Yagami waited for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji for a long time, but the other party didn't make any move. In other words, he was fully prepared and wouldn't be discovered. Only Kiyotaka Ayanokoji noticed something was wrong and caught up could he find any clues.

This is a challenge from Yagami Takuya to Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

He wanted the opponent to take the initiative and fight back. It was a battle between him and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

"Yagami Takuya from First Year Class B." Hachiman Hikigaya stepped forward.

"We are investigating the students who attacked my group members yesterday."

"Their methods and tactics are despicable. If we don't find them, all the students will be in danger," said Hachiman Hikigaya. "I will investigate everyone our group encountered yesterday."

Oh.

I see.

So, we started investigating each person we met one by one.

That makes sense.

Yesterday was the fifth day of the exams, and the average student's physical strength was starting to wane, so even when they went to the designated area to check in, they encountered fewer students, and even fewer students were participating in the project.

Then.

It's normal to investigate everyone you encounter.

But.

"It seems you've already started taking matters into your own hands."

At that moment, an adult's voice came over.

The students all remembered this timbre.

Because it was none other than the person introduced by Majima-sensei on the ship as the examiner for this exam, and then the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro allowed a small-scale conflict.

Meanwhile, Tsukishiro listened for a short while.

He was looking for a suitable entry point.

Hachiman Hikigaya commanded the second-year students to take action, and their target was clear: Yagami Takuya.

Tsukishiro knew very well that Yagami was the No. 1 of the fifth generation of White Room student recruited by Shirofumi, whom they had secured from White Room.

The fact that Hachiman Hikigaya directly wanted to capture Yagami indicates that he already had evidence of Yagami's attack.

However, what is being presented now is a false testimony, and there is also an appearance of seeking verification, making it seem impossible to catch Yagami immediately.

His work skills are not very good.

Tsukishiro, being a shrewd person, quickly realized that Hachiman was giving him a way out.

Hachiman Hikigaya knew that he was someone who had been arranged to expel Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, and he also learned that this time he had borrowed White Room student's power.

So.

The Hachiman Hikigaya gave Takuya such a way out... means that... the other party had already seen through Yagami Takuya 'White Room student identity as Shirofusa.

Although that's what she was thinking, Tsukishiro stayed to the side for a while, looking for a way to make a clean break.

Because if he were to actually produce evidence that Yagami was the culprit, it would be difficult for him to proceed.

So now, Hachiman hasn't produced any evidence, it's perfect for him to take action.

So he spoke up immediately.

"Yesterday, a student committed a serious assault. The school is very sorry about it," Tsukishiro said. "However, I don't think that suspecting everyone in the past is a good solution, because it will frighten many students."

"Therefore, in my capacity as Acting Chairman, I guarantee that we will strengthen patrols and pay more attention to your safety."

"At the same time, I also apologize for my previous remarks. I originally thought that I could give you more freedom and allow some minor conflicts, but now I realize that allowing minor physical conflicts was something I didn't think through."

"Therefore, this exception is now being cancelled."

"The requirement that violence is prohibited during the exam will be reinstated. Anyone who violates this rule will be severely punished, even expelled," Tsukishiro said. "A unified message will be sent to your tablets shortly."

"But," the students said, but they didn't buy it.

Kanzaki frowned.

The boys in Second Year Class D found it unacceptable.

Since the injury has already occurred, do you think you can just let it go with a single sentence from your Acting Chairman?

"I've certainly considered that as well," Chairman Tsukishiro said, then took out his tablet.

I clicked on a video.

The students around the video fell silent as they watched it.

Because.

The scene shows Shinohara and Komiyama, who were attacked. They are lying in the ship's medical area, but both have regained consciousness.

Judging from their mental state, they seem pretty good.

There shouldn't be anything serious.

"Both injured people have regained consciousness."

"But I will also take appropriate action."
