"This is…" Suzune was also shocked.
She hadn't expected there to be another voice recorder on her person. She hadn't even realized she was being specially protected.
At this moment, Kikyō's mood was far from pleasant.
Houtarou was entirely focused on helping Suzune — completely devoted to her ...
2025-05-22 19:21:13 +0000 UTC View PostKikyō felt that Suzune and Houtarou were truly cut from the same cloth — they both exploited her weaknesses as leverage.
And yet, she couldn't refuse when they did this.
Houtarou knew her true nature, while Suzune had gone further by recording it, ready to expose everything at any moment.
With Houtarou, she could still count...

Though their vast difference in power kept them from joining the battle, even from hundreds of kilometers away, they could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from Hashirama and Madara.
Yet even these mighty beings couldn't harm their opponent.
In that moment, ever...

They were clearly waiting for him to find a solution — to handle it.
Each person would need to pay 500,000 Points to avoid expulsion, which they seemed to find acceptable. That's why they had waited for his arrival.

In Class C, Suzune had two people she could talk to: Airi and Kikyō. Earlier, she had befriended Kikyō first to gain points, but that friendship was now gone. Airi, however, remained reliable.

When Kyle returned to the common room after dinner, he spotted her perched on the windowsill. The owl looked exhausted — her eyes drooping, her body visibly thinner, her once-beautiful feathers now dull and gray.
Upon seeing him, Stella lifted her head and tried to f...

Kyle didn't turn on the lights, choosing instead to sit quietly on a sofa, deep in thought. Too many things had happened tonight, and he needed to sort them out properly.
First, he was certain the person they'd seen during their nighttime...

Since Suzune and Minori fell 50 meters from the finish line, it made sense that she couldn't hear their voices. This meant she couldn't be a complete witness.
If anything, this testimony actually supported Minori's false accusation, since turning around could b...

After being unable to participate in the three-legged race and after Kikyō's event finished, Suzune chose to withdraw.
Continuing with Kayano would only drag her partner down to last place, since Suzune couldn't run properly. At least Kayano could still request a different partner from the referee.
