"My life... now belongs to me."

......

Inside the office of Chairman Sakayanagi.

On the thick velvet carpet, Arisu Sakayanagi, leaning on her ever-present cane, slowly walked to Narumori Sakayanagi's desk.

I met my father's gaze, which was a mixture of weariness and concern.

The girl smiled slightly.

next second.

In Sakayanagi Narumori's narrowed pupils, she actually let go of his hand and casually tossed aside the cane that she regarded as half of her body.

"Arisu... what's this?!"

Sakayanagi Narumi suddenly stood up and placed his hands on the table.

She looked at her daughter in disbelief.

Instead of collapsing to the ground with her legs weak as usual after losing her cane, Sakayanagi Arisu slowly raised her right foot.

Although his steps still looked a little unsteady, like a baby who had just learned to walk.

But she did take a real step forward without any external help!

"You...successfully?"

"Arisu..."

Sakayanagi Narimori, who was usually unswayed by emotions, now had a slightly trembling voice:

"You really succeeded?!"

"good."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and nodded, feeling the solid ground beneath her feet and the strong, reassuring heart in her chest, no longer throbbing.

She opened her arms wide, like a queen reborn:

"Dad, my body... I have everything I need!"

Sakayanagi Shigemori's eyes were slightly red; this was his greatest wish for many years.

But his eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed again.

"Unfortunately, you were chosen by that black ball."

The man sighed deeply: "If you weren't marked by it, I might still be able to try and use the power of my family to move you away from this island while I still can..."

Sakayanagi Arisu shook her head.

She bent down and calmly picked up the cane from the ground.

Although the body has fully recovered, the brain still needs time to adjust to its balance.

She walked over and sat down on the leather sofa, her posture still elegant.

“Even the politicians and tycoons at the top are completely helpless against that thing, and now we can’t even monitor the students’ cell phones at the underlying level.”

"Making these assumptions is pointless. Besides..."

A glint of light flashed in the girl's eyes:

"My staying inside is actually a great thing for the Sakayanagi family. After all, a player who has firsthand information will always have the upper hand than a spectator sitting on the sidelines feeling the elephant blindly."

As she spoke, Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to remember something, and suddenly changed the subject:

"By the way, Dad. What's the situation with Chihiro Shirahami, the student from Class B who failed the exam? What's the situation with her family now?"

When it came to serious matters, Sakayanagi Shigemori regained his authority as chairman.

He rested his chin on his hand, his tone grave:

"In the memories of her parents, relatives, and even junior high school classmates, Chihiro Shirahami... died in a car accident just before entering Advanced Nurturing High School. The local police station even has a complete accident file."

Sakayanagi Arisu gasped.

"Should we directly modify our understanding and erase causality from the source...?"

The girl's fingers unconsciously rubbed the rounded end of the cane:

"If this force were targeted at high-ranking officials or politicians, no one would be able to escape it."

"I really don't know where those people in the White House got the guts to come here and die after witnessing such power."

Sakayanagi Chengmori smiled bitterly:

“Ayanokouji-sensei’s ‘greatest masterpiece’ is, after all, right here with us. And… faced with a power capable of overturning the world order, if he doesn’t come over, there are plenty of greedy and ambitious people who would want to try. We’ve just happened to become the chessboard in this game.”

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and shook her head:

"Interestingly, neither of these two geniuses from the White House were selected as regular players by the Black Ball immediately. Even Tianze, who was crammed in yesterday, almost died on the spot during the preliminary test."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing their reactions."

Hearing his daughter's teasing, Sakayanagi Shigemori did not laugh.
