Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Because Fang Tian was involved in the school's spiritual incident, the Police did not allow anyone to privately contact her until the case was completely solved, which is why people were arranged to guard outside her hospital room.

Of course, it wasn't just Fang Tian's hospital room.

Outside the hospital rooms of the rescued, missing students, there were also Police on duty, whose purpose was to learn about the spiritual incident from these students.

Click.

The door had just opened, and Fang Tian, who was still sound asleep, had already woken up.

When she saw that the visitors were Asahi Rinka and the others, a smile appeared on Fang Tian's face at that moment.

"Fang Tian, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Fang Tian, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Hotta-dōgaku, is there anything you want to eat? Minako-sensei will buy it for you."

"..."

Before Fang Tian could speak, Asahi Rinka and the others eagerly began to ask questions.

"Good morning, everyone. Don't worry, I'm fine. I just have a small wound on the back of my neck, and it will be fine in a couple of days."

Seeing everyone's concern for her, Fang Tian knew they were worried about her, so she quickly said.

"Mm-hmm, then is there anything you want to eat? Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

Tomoda Minako asked again at this moment.

"Minako-sensei, thank you for visiting me. I had breakfast this morning."

"I just finished eating not long ago and only slept for a while before you all came. I originally thought you didn't get much rest last night and wouldn't be able to visit me until the afternoon."

Fang Tian said with a smile.

Hearing Fang Tian say this, and also confirming that she was fine, everyone truly relaxed.

"I'm sorry, Fang Tian. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been injured last night. If I hadn't called you..."

"What are you talking about, Rinka? Aren't we the best of friends? And you're our president, so what's wrong with doing something for you? Besides, I wasn't seriously injured, just a little skin scraped off, some minor wounds that will heal in a couple of days."

Seeing Asahi Rinka start to apologize and say she was sorry, Fang Tian stopped her before Asahi Rinka could finish, and then spoke.

Hearing Fang Tian say this, Asahi Rinka felt even more guilty towards her.

If Asahi Rinka hadn't called Fang Tian, she certainly wouldn't have been injured.

Of course, when Asahi Rinka went there last night, she had prayed inwardly that if there really were ghosts and gods, she hoped they would take her and not harm her friends.

But that was just her unilateral wish; the person who was ultimately taken was Fang Tian, not her.

"Alright, Rinka, don't blame yourself. We all went there last night wanting to find those missing students. As for being taken away, who knew they would be taken away, right?"

"And since we decided to go, no one would regret it. I believe Fang Tian feels the same way."

Kono Mika, who was beside them, spoke to comfort Asahi Rinka.

"Yes, Mika is right, everyone has the same idea."

"Moreover, I should thank you for this matter. If I had been taken away and couldn't be found like the previous students, then I would have been truly in danger."

"Fortunately, you didn't abandon me and even rescued me in the end."

"The most important thing is that we are all doing good deeds. This kind of thing, in fact, is the same no matter who it happens to."

Fang Tian said, following Kono Mika's words.

Hearing Fang Tian say this, Tomoda Minako also nodded secretly.

On the way to the hospital, Tomoda Minako was still thinking if Fang Tian would resent others because of this incident, such as Asahi Rinka, after all, her relationship with Asahi Rinka was the best.

If Fang Tian really resented others, Tomoda Minako wouldn't know what to say.

Now, seeing Fang Tian being so understanding, Tomoda Minako naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way, how are the rescued students? Are they okay?"

Fang Tian asked.

Last night, they went to the art classroom for those captured students, so she was naturally very concerned about them.

Hearing Fang Tian ask this, Tomoda Minako immediately told her about the other students' conditions.

"That's good, that's good. To be able to rescue so many students with just a few injuries, we are truly lucky. As long as we can save them, let alone such minor injuries, even if there were more, it would be fine."

Fang Tian said with a smile.

Speaking of this, Hojo Saki Rei was also a bit curious why Fang Tian made no sound when she was taken away last night. He somewhat wanted to know exactly how it happened.

"Fang Tian, how were you taken away last night? Do you remember?"

Hojo Saki Rei asked, after all, those people being able to take someone away right under his nose made Hojo Saki Rei somewhat interested in their strength.

Of course, the reason he was interested was also out of concern that these people hadn't been caught and would continue to harm other students later.

Originally, everyone was concerned about Fang Tian's injuries, but hearing Hojo Saki Rei ask about this, they all looked at Fang Tian curiously, as if they also wanted to know what happened.

"This... I remember."

Saying this, Fang Tian began to recount the situation at the time.

Originally, nothing happened when they were chanting, but when they got to the end, where one person needed to recite a section, Fang Tian suddenly felt a strange smell at the tip of her nose.

Before she could react to what was happening, her body became immobile.

Even her mouth and nose were covered with a towel at that time, which prevented Fang Tian from saying a word or calling for help from others.

Later, she felt herself being carried away, and in less than thirty seconds, she fell directly into a coma. When she woke up, she was already in the hospital.

"Indeed, our guess was correct. Those people use this method to take people away."

"The strange smell Fang Tian mentioned should be some kind of anesthetic."

Hearing what Fang Tian said, Hojo Saki Rei also roughly understood what had happened.

Looking at Fang Tian in front of him, he nodded.

"Those people are truly despicable. Once they are caught, I want to see what kind of people they are."

Hojo Saki Rei said through gritted teeth.

Although this was the first case to occur at Sakuragi High School, across the country, there were almost annual occurrences of supernatural incidents harming students.

And most of those supernatural incidents were similar to this spiritual incident.

Hojo Saki Rei knew without thinking that those students must have also been taken away in the same manner.

Of course, Hojo Saki Rei was even more curious about another matter, which was how those people built those independent rooms and that passage within the school.

Logically, the school's buildings should not have such places appearing.

Therefore, after experiencing this case, Hojo Saki Rei thought of many things.

That is, did those people already think of using this method to harm people when they were building the school's architecture?

If things were really as he thought, then it would be truly terrifying.

He also wondered if there were other places in Sakuragi High School, besides the art classroom, that had already been arranged by someone.

And also, would other schools be like Sakuragi High School?

Of course, if Hojo Saki Rei's speculation was correct, then those who harmed the students should be the former construction workers, or there were hidden heretics within the school.

Beyond that, Hojo Saki Rei could not think of any other explanation.

"Alright, everyone, don't talk about this matter anymore. You have already rescued the other students, and you have done very well. Now, just wait for news from the Police Department."

"As for the subsequent matters, you don't need to continue wasting time on them."

Tomoda Minako, seeing Hojo Saki Rei fall into deep thought again, immediately understood Hojo Saki Rei's thoughts.

Thinking about what happened last night, she felt a chill down her spine.

In her eyes, Hojo Saki Rei was not just a student, but someone the Organization had spent a lot of money and effort to cultivate.

If something had really happened to Hojo Saki Rei last night, especially if it happened on her watch, she believed the Organization would definitely not accept such a result.

"Mm-hmm, Minako-sensei is right."

"That kind of thing last night, once is enough. I won't go through it a second time, because it was too scary."

"Yes, when Fang Tian went missing last night, I really thought there were ghosts and gods in this world."

"But those people are really powerful, to be able to take someone away silently while others are still present, that's very terrifying."

"The main thing is what Fang Tian just said, what kind of drug is it that can quickly knock someone out?"

Just as everyone else was agreeing with Tomoda Minako, Hojo Saki Rei uttered that sentence.

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei seemed to still want to continue following up on this case, Tomoda Minako couldn't help but shake her head.

It truly was a case of what you fear most comes true.

She had previously warned Beitiaozaki Rei not to go to the art classroom, but Beitiaozaki Rei ultimately went.

Now that Beitiaozaki Rei seemed interested in this case, Tomoda Minako was somewhat worried that Beitiaozaki Rei would follow up on this case again and get hurt.

"Saki Rei-kun, didn't I say not to inquire about this matter? The Police Department will definitely give us answers to these things. Although you solved most of the case last night and found the missing students, those people are very dangerous, so it's best if you don't get involved in this matter."

Tomoda Minako looked at Beitiaozaki Rei and reminded him.

Hearing Tomoda Minako's voice, Hojo Saki Rei naturally knew that Tomoda Minako was doing this for his own good.

But this kind of good, Hojo Saki Rei truly did not need at all.

Although he had rescued those students, his mission had not yet been completed.

Therefore, he had to follow up on this case to complete his mission.

"Ding! Host has completed the mission: Investigate the truth of the art classroom!"

"Reward: Max-level piano reward + 500 points."

Just as Hojo Saki Rei was still thinking about how he could participate in this case, the system's prompt sound appeared at this moment.

"Max-level piano? What do I need this for? To play the piano?"

Seeing the reward the system gave him, Hojo Saki Rei was somewhat dissatisfied. He had indeed wanted to play the piano when he was a child.

But as he grew older, he no longer had any interest in the piano.

However, Hojo Saki Rei still liked the 500 points rewarded by the system.

These points were a necessity for Hojo Saki Rei, as they were required for drawing prizes and exchanging for other items and props.

Last night, Hojo Saki Rei had actually wanted to use the system to exchange for props to find Fang Tian at one point.

If he still couldn't find any clues in the underground parking lot, then he naturally wouldn't have been reluctant to spend those few hundred points.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Just as Hojo Saki Rei had just received the system reward, the hospital room door was knocked a few times from the outside at that moment.

Immediately after, the attending Dr. and two Police officers opened the hospital room door at this time.

The two Police officers looked very young, and they were holding several boxes in their hands.

Upon seeing the boxes in the hands of these two Police officers, everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of confusion, wondering what these two Police officers had brought.

"Hello, these two are officers from the Police Department, and they are here to visit Hotta-dōgaku."

As soon as he entered, the attending Dr. said to Tomoda Minako.

Among these people, he could naturally see that Tomoda Minako was the oldest and had the most authority in speaking here.

It was precisely because of this that he directly approached Tomoda Minako and explained the two Police officers' intentions to her.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than he saw one of the Police officers had already arrived by Beitiaozaki Rei's side.

Immediately after, before anyone could react, that Police officer bowed to Beitiaozaki Rei!

"Hello, you must be Beitiaozaki Rei, right?"

"This case truly owes a lot to you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to solve the case so quickly, and we wouldn't know when we would have caught the culprit."

"We came here this time to thank a few students, and also specifically to visit Hotta-dōgaku."

"Beitiaozaki Rei, Hotta-dōgaku, these are the commendation banners from our Police Department for you." (End of chapter)
