Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Just as everyone was still wondering if this announcement was about the school's spiritual game case, the broadcast sounded again.

“I am Principal Tozawa Yota. This announcement is to tell the students good news.”

“This is good news about the school's spiritual game incident!”

As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Principal Tozawa Yota's voice had just appeared, and he had already told everyone what he was going to say next.

At this time.

Upon hearing the principal say this, almost all the students in the school couldn't help but become even more excited.

Before this, they had indeed heard the whole story about the school's spiritual game, but some students who liked thrills and adventures did not believe that the disappearances of students in the spiritual game were man-made.

But now, since the principal had already spoken, they were naturally looking forward to what the principal would say next.

Without any delay, the principal's voice came from the broadcast again.

“Perhaps students already knew this good news this morning, or even earlier.”

“Our school's spiritual game, all of this is baseless; someone is behind it!”

“Now the mastermind has been arrested by the Police Department, and similar incidents will never happen again at our Sakuragi High School.”

“Of course, the main content of this announcement is to thank the students who solved the case.”

“Below, I will announce the list of these students who solved the case. Please ask other students to learn from these students!”

“The list of students who solved the school's spiritual game incident this time is as follows: Shiratori Kashiwa from Class 5, Grade 2.”

The moment the principal read out the name, in Class Five, Grade Two.

Almost all the students looked in the direction of Shiratori Kashiwa at this moment.

After all, before this, almost no one could have imagined that Shiratori Kashiwa would also go to the art classroom.

Even if Shiratori Kashiwa's identity as the principal's daughter was not known to all students, there were still a few students in the class who knew it.

As the principal, Tozawa Yota naturally knew how dangerous the art classroom was.

Given that, he certainly wouldn't let his daughter go to that place.

But now, the broadcast announced that Shiratori Kashiwa was also on the list of case solvers this time. How could this not shock the other students?

Especially Tanaka Taiwa, at this moment, Tanaka Taiwa looked at Shiratori Kashiwa in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

Before this, he had not thought that Shiratori Kashiwa would play this game.

He would even less think that she could become one of the case solvers.

Of course, after reacting, Tanaka Taiwa immediately thought of something.

That is, since Shiratori Kashiwa is one of the case solvers, then could the other person be Hojo Saki Rei?

This idea had just emerged when Tanaka Taiwa confirmed it.

Because in his opinion, Shiratori Kashiwa could not have played that spiritual game alone.

Because Shiratori Kashiwa knew better than him how terrifying that spiritual game was. As the principal's daughter, Shiratori Kashiwa must have known how many people had gone missing in the school.

If that were the case, even if she were to play this spiritual game, she would only do so with familiar people.

Who is Shiratori Kashiwa more familiar with?

This is very simple. Besides Hojo Saki Rei and a few others, Tanaka Taiwa couldn't think of anyone else.

Although Shiratori Kashiwa knew before coming to the classroom that if the school announced their names, it would definitely attract the attention of other students in the class.

But now, when she saw all the students in the class looking at her, Shiratori Kashiwa was still somewhat unaccustomed to it.

And while everyone was still shocked by this, in Class Three.

When Esashike Takuya heard the principal announce the list, he was extremely nervous, fearing that Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka's names would be read out.

But soon, he found that the name the principal read out was a student from Class 5, Grade 2.

After learning that this person was from Class Five, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Principal Tozawa Yota's voice came from the broadcast again.

“Kono Mika from Class 1, Grade 2, Asuka.”

The principal continued to read out two more students from different classes, leaving only three spots. Esashike Takuya became even happier, and his head unconsciously lifted at this moment.

“What was I worrying about just now? How could they be the ones who solved the case?”

Finding that three names had already been read out, but Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka were still not among them, Esashike Takuya couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

“Hotta-dōgaku from Class 4, Grade 2!”

As the principal read out another name, Esashike Takuya no longer had any worries.

However, just when he thought that Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka would definitely not appear on the list announced by Principal Tozawa Yota, the voice in the broadcast instantly stunned him at that moment.

“Hojo Saki Rei from High Two (3) Class, Asahi Rinka…”

Boom!

As the principal's voice fell.

Esashike Takuya was completely stunned.

He had originally thought that after the principal finished reading the list, he would be able to mock Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka severely.

But he never expected that the last two names would actually be Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka.

For a moment, Esashike Takuya was completely stunned, standing rooted to the spot like a block of wood.

At this moment, the other students in the classroom were also shocked by the principal's announcement, and they all looked in the direction of Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka.

“The spiritual game incident not only had a huge impact on our school but also cost the Police Department a lot of effort. Therefore, the school decided to give huge rewards to the students who helped solve the case this time. In addition to financial rewards and priority access to various school supports while they are in school, the school is also preparing to give these students direct admission to the University of Tokyo!”

“This announcement is complete. Please ask other students to learn from these students and strive to be useful members of society!”

Boom!

Wow!

As the broadcast ended, Class 3, Grade 2's classroom instantly erupted in an uproar!

When looking at Hojo Saki Rei, almost all the students' eyes were shining with indescribable colors.

“Oh my god, I didn’t expect Saki Rei-kun to be among the ones who solved the case, that’s too exciting!”

“What was I doing before? I actually didn't believe what Asahi Rinka said, I deserve to die!”

“Hahaha, that Esashike Takuya, look at him, his face has turned green.”

“It's hilarious. Before, he was mocking Hojo Saki Rei and arguing with Asahi Rinka, but now that the school's announcement is out, he probably won't dare to face Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka anymore, will he?”

“This is too amazing. When Asahi Rinka said that Hojo Saki Rei had solved the case, I should have believed them. I just thought Asahi Rinka was lying.”

“Hahaha, this is great. I didn’t expect there to be students from our Class 5 among the case solvers this time. This is truly wonderful.”

“It seems that Esashike Takuya was wrong this time. Saki Rei-kun is not only bold but also solved the case, and he even brought Asahi Rinka with him.”

“I was wondering why the teacher didn't mention this before. It turns out it was to give us a surprise.”

“Rinka-san, can you tell us how you solved the case back then?”

“……”

After reacting, many female students walked towards Asahi Rinka.

As for the male students, when they looked at Hojo Saki Rei, their eyes were filled with admiration.

Clearly, they were all very impressed by what Hojo Saki Rei had done.

“Students, don't be too enthusiastic. We just happened to be there. Let's talk about what just happened. Didn't Esashike Takuya just say that Hojo Saki Rei couldn't have been involved in this matter?”

“Now that the principal has personally announced the list, Esashike Takuya, do you have anything to say?”

Just as the other students were crowding around Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka, the extremely embarrassed Esashike Takuya's first thought was to run out of the classroom.

However, he hadn't even started to move yet.

Asahi Rinka, surrounded by the crowd, spoke at this moment.

As Asahi Rinka's words fell, everyone remembered what Esashike Takuya had said earlier and turned their heads at this moment.

Then, they saw Esashike Takuya, who was about to escape.

Upon seeing this scene, almost all the students instantly walked towards Esashike Takuya.

These students also felt that what Esashike Takuya had said earlier was a bit too much.

After all, everyone was in the same class. Even if Hojo Saki Rei hadn't done this, they shouldn't have said those unpleasant things about Hojo Saki Rei, and they even deliberately mocked Hojo Saki Rei, saying that Hojo Saki Rei had such strong abilities for nothing.

Now that the results were out, they naturally wanted to hear if Esashike Takuya had anything else to say.

Being stared at by so many classmates, Esashike Takuya felt immense pressure at this moment.

At this moment, he truly regretted it.

If he had known earlier that Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka were involved in this matter, he would never have provoked Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka.

Now, being surrounded by these students, if he didn't say anything, these students probably wouldn't let him off so easily.

Thinking of what he had done before, Esashike Takuya was filled with immense regret at this moment.

But he also knew that at this moment, he could only back down.

Only then would Asahi Rinka and Hojo Saki Rei let him go.

The other students would also not hold it against him.

“Saki Rei-kun, Rinka-san, I'm sorry!”

Just as everyone was still anticipating, Esashike Takuya suddenly bowed towards Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka, his face flushed, and he apologized to Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka with shame.

Upon seeing this scene, almost all the students were stunned.

“No, is he apologizing to Saki Rei-kun and Rinka-san?”

“I thought this guy wouldn't apologize, but I didn't expect him to apologize after all.”

“People, you just can't be too arrogant. You say whatever you want. Even though Rinka-san had already told him that Saki Rei-kun was one of the case solvers, he still didn't believe it and waited until the school gave the notice before apologizing.”

“Exactly, exactly. If Hojo Saki Rei hadn't really been involved in this incident, would Rinka-san dare to say that?”

“Didn't he realize that Asahi Rinka and Hojo Saki Rei simply don't lie? How could what they say be false?”

“Is just one apology enough? This guy was deliberately annoying Hojo Saki Rei before, is just this apology enough?”

“I think this matter must be reported to the teacher, so the teacher can give him some punishment.”

“I didn't expect Esashike Takuya to be such a person. I misjudged him before. I thought he really knew that Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka were not among the case solvers.”

“……”

Although he apologized to Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka, the discussions of the other students still reached his ears from time to time. At this moment, Esashike Takuya felt extremely ashamed.

He had made many mistakes in his life, but none had made him feel as humiliated as this one.

However, since things had come to this point, Esashike Takuya naturally knew that he could not continue like this.

He tried to calm his mind and then said, “Actually, what I said just now was indeed a bit too much, but I just couldn't believe that Hojo Saki Rei did all of this. The reason I said those things before was just hoping that Hojo Saki Rei, with his strength, could help others. If Hojo Saki Rei wasn't willing to help, I don't know how many more students would have gone missing because of this spiritual game.”

“But Saki Rei-kun is much better than I imagined. Knowing that he had enough strength, he decisively took action. Saki Rei-kun, you are the pride of our classmates.”

“I have also realized my mistake. Please forgive me, Rinka-san, Saki Rei-kun.”

Saying that, Esashike Takuya bowed again to Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka. (End of Chapter)
