However, being obedient is one thing, but being confused is another.

"What's wrong, teacher? I was just about to take a break."

"Ms. Mashima, what happened?"

"Good news? Or bad news?" Morishita Ran, who was sitting on the ground, jumped up and asked casually.

Hashimoto Masayoshi smiled and said, "What bad news could there be? It can't be that Class C has turned around and reported us, can it?"

"I didn't see any of them."

"Besides, we don't really have anything to report, do we?"

After Hashimoto Masayoshi said this, several classmates fell silent.

Katsuragi Kohei remained silent, pondering whether what he had done yesterday constituted a violation of the rules. Should he have been reported for such an excessive act as seizing a location under the guise of reporting?

Kito Hayabusa remained silent, a cold sweat beading on the back of his neck. He had thrown a punch in his moment of impulsiveness, unnoticed by his classmates, and dared not report it. But if it were reported...

Sakayanagi Arisu was completely baffled.

What's there to report? Let alone the fact that reporting is now a forbidden practice, even if it weren't, they wouldn't have anything to report. Wasn't it already said that the punishments would be handled uniformly after the exams?

What are you doing now?

“…Kito Hayabusa.” Without offering much explanation, Majima Tomoya simply uttered a name: “You broke the rules.”

"If a student damages the equipment of another class, the class to which the student belongs will be immediately disqualified, and all personal points of the student will be confiscated."

"So now, your personal points will be confiscated in full, and Class 1B will lose its eligibility to take the deserted island exam."

"You may now prepare to leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakayanagi Arisu's expression turned extremely ugly.

Chapter 221 "Tell the school that Class C of Year 1 is withdrawing from the deserted island exam."

"what?"

"Wait, teacher, I cannot agree."

Why is this happening?

"If I can't give a convincing reason, I will protest to the school."

With a furrowed brow, Katsuragi Kohei said in a deep voice.

He simply couldn't understand why things would go wrong at this crucial moment, when the exam was going well, despite some twists and turns and some back-and-forth confrontations.

Ultimately, why would they possibly do something like 'damaging equipment'?

It should be noted that, apart from the report made at Class C's camp last night, they had no opportunity to access the equipment of other classes.

If it's violence, he might have to wonder if Kito encountered students from other classes while checking the base under Sakayanagi's instructions, and then couldn't help but take action.

But the charge of damaging equipment...

He cannot agree.

"It's bad news after all." Morishita Ran yawned, seemingly unsurprised.

Katsuragi stepped forward, and his little follower Totsuka Yahiko was clearly not going to back down either.

"Yes, teacher! We need a clear explanation!"

“…Destruction equipment.” On the cruise ship, as he pondered this word, a strange light flickered in Sakayanagi Arisu’s eyes.

Ghost-headed falcon?

Destructive equipment?

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't connect the two things together.

As the violent representative of Class B, Kito Hayabusa has always been a relatively useful pawn in her hands.

Although it was precisely because he possessed this violence that he had previously become a target of Class C, it was also because of this previous incident that he had become a pawn in his own hands.

The kind that hits exactly where you point it.

He has no reason to make a mistake behind his back.

That......

“There’s no point in arguing about it. The evidence is conclusive. The school’s cameras clearly recorded his violation.” Majima Tomoya said with a straight expression, taking out his tablet and showing the surveillance footage sent by the school.

Flip the screen to display the surveillance video that has started playing.

And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, in the dim light of the night, Asakusa Toru's face flashed by.

Seemingly aware that there would be a few minutes of blank time ahead, Majima Tomoya gently dragged the progress bar again.

Soon, time was skipped, and Kito Hayabusa's signature hooked nose appeared on the screen.

He was panting, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger.

He threw a punch.

"This is......"

"I did it." Before the other students could start their noisy discussion, Kito Hayabusa stepped forward, raised his hands, and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I acted on impulse, so I hit him."

"It's my fault."

He bit his lower lip, and an unexpected look of self-reproach appeared on his fierce face.

"—Stop!" Taking a deep breath, Arisu Sakayanagi's voice came through the walkie-talkie, drawing out the sound: "Don't make it sound like a tragic self-sacrifice. Now, immediately, right now."

Tell me what happened.

"What did Mashima-sensei show you?" She couldn't see the contents of the video recording, but could sense the strange atmosphere from the few words coming through the walkie-talkie.

"What have you done that I don't know about?" She didn't know what Ghost Falcon was admitting or what he was saying without authorization.

Sakayanagi Arisu, however, looked extremely grim and needed to know what had happened.

"Mr. Mashima..." Kito Hayabusa was about to explain something.

But at that moment, Majima Tomoya seemed to have no regard for the homeroom teacher and interrupted him without hesitation.

“You can explain it when you get back to the ship, and the discussion can continue after that,” he said. “But no matter what the outcome of your discussion is, the school will not change the punishment.”

"The facts of the violation have been confirmed, so your exam eligibility must be revoked on the spot."

Majima Tomoya's voice was calm, but Sakayanagi Arisu, who was listening to him, was anything but calm.

"—Mashima!" She couldn't help but call out her homeroom teacher's surname, and after calming down a bit, she slowly added the title: "...Teacher."

"I want to communicate directly with the school."

She said things that seemed reasonable to her, but were clearly unfair to the other students.

Is that correct?

This doesn't make sense, does it?

Didn't we agree to leave all problems to be resolved after the exam?

I was just getting the idea to gradually take over Class A's base, but it ended before I even started?

Why did I send Kito to take over Class C's stronghold?

...That's damn good.

Instead of my dad calling, you, Mashima, bypassed me and made our class leave.

It's hard for Sakayanagi Arisu not to suspect that this was Majima Tomoya's own doing.

"Sakayanagi, watch your temper." Majima Tomoya frowned slightly and bent down a little, speaking calmly into the walkie-talkie in Kamuro Masumi's hand: "This is the school's decision. Even if you have a temper, don't take it out on the teacher."

As for the issue of whether or not to communicate with the school...

"Students have no right to initiate private communication or meetings with the school."

"If the school wants to speak with you privately, then the school will choose to contact you."

After saying that, Majima Tomoya straightened up and looked up at Kamuro Masumi.

"The walkie-talkies should be turned off too. If there's anything, we can talk about it back on the ship."

As her voice echoed, a sense of powerlessness washed over Sakayanagi Arisu's hands.

The girl's small hand holding the walkie-talkie felt weak, and she pursed her lips.

She never imagined that this special exam would end in this way.

Giving up the comfortable time on the cruise ship, he resolutely chose to leave the island and listen to all the exam rules, and on this basis, he became a behind-the-scenes strategist.

Was this the reason they were ultimately disqualified?

I can not accept.

I can not accept.

Sakayanagi Arisu's heart began to race, but it was clearly not because she had fallen for anyone.

I was just angry.

“…Hoo.” Taking a deep breath and patting her cheeks, Sakayanagi Arisu said through gritted teeth, facing the walkie-talkie that seemed to still be connected, “Masumi-san, turn it off.”

She used her last bit of strength to say those words. As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't even want to hold onto the walkie-talkie anymore. She let go of it and let the broken walkie-talkie fall onto the deck with a thud.

So annoying.

How annoying.

What's this all about?

It's not fair at all, it's not reasonable at all, it's not legitimate at all.

I hate it the most.

I don't care about you guys anymore!

With her small hands groping around, she grabbed the cane, stood up from the chair, and, leaning on the cane, turned and went back to the bed.

She placed her hands aside, took off her indoor shoes, and sat on the edge of the bed. She removed the white stockings from her legs, revealing her smooth, jade-like toes. She stretched her ten toes back and forth a few times, then casually tossed the knee-high socks aside, holding the white stockings. Only then did Sakayanagi Arisu collapse onto the bed in a deflated manner.

Roll here, roll there.

Suddenly, she stopped rolling, grabbed the sheet, buried her head in it, and mumbled incoherently.

After doing something she herself didn't know she was doing in a room where no one could see her, Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to calm down a little.

She lifted the blanket, revealing her rosy, slightly damp face.

"Phew..." Sakayanagi Arisu let out a long breath and looked up at the sky.

She knew it.

Majima Tomoya's attitude is quite clear.

This time, she lost.

There is no room for explanation.

Therefore, it was he, the homeroom teacher, who notified him of this, not his father, who was the chairman of the board.

And... what does it mean that they won't even let us make phone calls?

This means that this matter, unlike previous 'violations,' cannot be dealt with after the exam.

...I'm not happy.

I'm still unhappy.

Even after repeatedly venting her emotions, Sakayanagi Arisu still couldn't feel happy.

She had finally managed to stick to her plan and was determined to have a good fight with that guy.

As a result, he didn't even get a correct answer and was eliminated.

I hate it.

Especially when he thinks about how that guy will laugh and mock him again in today's diary, just like he did yesterday when he mocked Class D.
