Ichika's Plan for Freedom Starts Here! 6k!

"We will definitely catch the criminal and report it to the police."

"So, can the task of finding the culprit be handled by our school?"

As he said this, Tsukishiro's gaze swept across the faces of the second-year students one by one.

After all, the other party is an adult.

The second-year students quickly looked at Hachiman.

"Our spontaneous action is simply to ensure the safety of the students, so if the school is willing to take this risk, then we will naturally agree," Hachiman said.

"Mm." Tsukishiro nodded.

He still enjoys acting with his Hachiman.

"Um, can I say something?" Yagami then spoke up. "Although I'm not a criminal, if my withdrawal makes everyone feel at ease, then I'd rather withdraw from the exam."

"So I choose to abstain," Yagami Takuya said.

She seems quite understanding.

But.

"..." Sakurako Tsubaki.

Sakurako Tsubaki, who has a very low profile, is actually not in a good mood right now.

Because Yagami and she were in the same group.

If Yagami automatically logs out, it means she's going to get some work done.

We can't keep slacking off, or we'll lose points, and the worst-case scenario is getting zero points. Then we'll have to compete with the bottom five groups from First-year Class D for the last place.

In the worst-case scenario, they could be expelled from school.

Therefore.

Yagami may have felt good about leaving, but he completely failed to consider her situation.

She was almost certain that this Yagami Taku was no ordinary person, and that he was even the one who caused the attack.

That kind of person is simply insane.

I suppose that deliberately telling them about Kushida-senpai's dirty secrets was also a way of using them.

"It seems we can continue with the exam now."

Chairman Tsukishiro came and went in a hurry.

However, Yagami kept his word and chose to abstain.

Everyone agreed that Yagami was the attacker, so the attacker's departure would make people feel at ease.

At the same time.

The exams are still ongoing.

Only.

"Hachiman- kun——"

Hachiman thanked the students who had helped him. He arranged for them to leave on their own, and his class would also subsidize the losses incurred from yesterday afternoon to today due to the search for Yagami Takuya.

Each participating student will receive an additional 50,000 points.

However, Kanzaki did not leave.

"Do you really have no evidence to prove that Yagami Takuya is the culprit?" Kanzaki asked.

Really not?

Of course!

But.

This is not the time to take it out immediately.

Because Hachiman's goal was achieved.

The dangerous Yagami was eliminated from this exam.

At the same time.

As the school's representative, Tsukishiro needed to ensure the safety of the other students. Therefore, once the danger to all students was over, the exam could continue.

Meanwhile, Tsukishiro also brought videos of Shinohara and Komiyama, confirming that the two were out of danger. The school will likely provide them with appropriate compensation.

The fact that the exams continued instead of being interrupted was also good news for Hachiman.

This means that betting for huge sums of points is still possible.

At the same time.

Ryuen's team can continue to participate in the exam. If both Ryuen and Albert's teams can get points, then Class D' s class evaluation score will exceed 500 points, so he can take 70% of the excess.

This score can be earned until graduation.

And he doesn't need to give Classmate Sakayanagi an extra 10%.

Certainly.

One more thing.

That is, Hachiman saw the attitude of the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro.

Tsukishiro's urgent appearance and desire to resolve the matter, coupled with his deliberate decision to continue the exam, all contributed to the situation.

This shows that Yagami Takuya is quite important to Tsukishiro.

President Sakayanagi once said that after identifying the culprit, he would use his authority as president to expel the culprit.

However, Hachiman did not believe that it could be handled so simply.

Since Chairman Sakayanagi has not yet returned, directly expelling Yagami and sending him to prison would cause Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's father's lineage to lose face.

After all, anyone who could be assigned to deal with Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, who was considered the pinnacle of talent, must have been quite outstanding. So firing them directly would be tantamount to completely offending Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's father and his group.

Because of Kushida's activities, I learned about Nanase's past.

Then it was learned that the butler had helped Kiyotaka Ayanokoji escape against his father's wishes, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji ultimately could only choose to immolate himself to beg for forgiveness.

This shows that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's father was not a kind person, but a ruthless one.

And that's what makes the adult world so terrifying.

Therefore, there is no need for Sakayanagi Arisu to risk directly antagonizing the other party.

However, there are solutions.

Because of the impact this incident has caused, even though he was protected this time, Yagami's reputation will definitely decline.

So.

If the opportunity arises, it is possible to take down Yagami Takuya.

Therefore, the record sheet he had, obtained through Hoshinomiya-sensei's irregular operation, showing that Yagami changed his bracelet after the incident, could be used as evidence against Yagami who had dropped out of school.

"Hachiman Hikigaya!"

While Hachiman was sending Kanzaki away, the three first-year students who were surrounded together, although Yagami left, Sakurako Tsubaki and Utsunomiya did not.

Utsunomiya walked directly up to Hachiman.

"What's up?"

Hachiman looked at the other person.

"Hmm." Utsunomiya nodded. "Actually, Yagami was with us before, and he mentioned some news about Kushida-senpai."

"It's like a rumor," Utsunomiya said. "I think he might be planning something."

It's obvious.

Since Yagami is ruthless, then they too will be unjust.

P. S.: Today's update is here.

Chapter 38: Ichika's Freedom Plan Begins Here! 6k!

[To all students: Two students have been injured and forced to withdraw from the exam. The school retracts its previous statement and will no longer allow indiscriminate robbery or attacks.]

Therefore, from now on, if any student is found to be using violence, please report it actively. The school will take disciplinary action, the most serious of which may be expulsion or being handed over to the police.

The exam will continue.

The school will increase patrols to ensure everyone's safety.

Everyone's tablet received a notification.

At the research site, Ryuen and Hōsen also saw the notice.

At the same time.

The school seems to be doing alright; each student received 2000 resource points, which were deposited into their respective accounts.

"Ryuen, you've really hit the jackpot!" Hōsen frowned as he looked at the notice.

Then he turned around and walked away.

He plans to go back to the starting point now to replace the bracelet he broke.

"It looks like he's gone," said Kohei Katsuragi, who was bald.

As a second-year student, he knew that there was a troublemaker in First-year Class D. It seemed that he came from the same place as Ryuen.

And this troublemaker even went and caused trouble in Second-year Class C last month.

Although in the end, the class evaluation score of the other party's First-year Class D was greatly reduced, even to 0 points.

But he seems like a difficult person to deal with.

Especially when the exam rules were announced, the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, even allowed minor conflicts.

Therefore, Katsuragi was also worried about the possibility of violence.

In this way.

Katsuragi was actually quite wary of Hōsen Kazuomi.

"Are we safe now?" asked another member of Class A, Shun Kito.

Kito is very strong and athletic, and is a top athlete in Class A. However, he also looks like a ghost and is usually taciturn and obedient to orders.

Now, he has also taken the initiative to join the conversation.

"No," Ryuen said. "Although Hōsen appears to have left, we cannot be certain that he is really gone."

"I've been using my supply points to search for Hōsen's location right here in the tent, but unfortunately, the GPS isn't showing it."

"So I suspect he may have deliberately broken the bracelet so that it wouldn't show his location."

"So, it's possible that he suddenly rushed out and attacked me when I was alone."

"So we can only stay at this research site until Hōsen has to go back to the starting point to change his bracelet. Only then will we be safe," Ryuen said.

"Is Hōsen really that difficult to deal with?" Daichi Ishizaki was somewhat surprised.

Because what Ryuen said makes it sound like Hōsen might just be making a show of leaving, but in reality he might be keeping watch nearby.

Just wait until they are out of the teacher's sight at the research site, and then attack.

"He will," Ryuen said confidently.

Because Ryuen himself is this type of person.

Although he subdued Albert, he did not defeat Albert. Instead, he harassed Albert at various times, even when Albert was in the toilet, until Albert finally submitted.

Therefore...

Why couldn't the well-laid plan for a group fight be carried out?

All the other boys in his class had been transferred away. And if it wasn't him, then the only one who could command such a group of people was Hachiman Hikigaya.

This left him with no choice but to stay put.
