The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

So now I have to guard against Sakayanagi-senpai first.

As for the other girls, they are just not that great.

……

The insignificant support team has arrived at the cave that Hashimoto-san pointed out.

just.

“It feels so humid around here.”

"And it's a little cold."

The girls had already turned on the flashlight mode on their phones, but they still couldn't help but tremble.

The cave is very large, but it gets increasingly damp the deeper you go.

The surrounding area was covered with wet stone slabs, and some dried seaweed grew on the lower half of the stone slabs.

"What we can confirm is that this cave was probably carved by humans," Ishizaki said excitedly.

He was now standing in front of a stone slab.

The bottom of this stone slab is not close to the ground, but is suspended in the air for a distance.

This strange shape is indeed impossible to form naturally.

"This should be the so-called treasure area." Hikigaya-kun took a photo with his mobile phone and said.

"Is there really a treasure?" Sudo had just given up, but now he looked over again.

"It's possible," Hachiman said. "The cave we entered doesn't match the size of the one we saw from the outside. The height of the cave in the photos I took is very different from what we see from the outside, which suggests it's been modified."

As he said this, Ishizaki Daichi, who was walking in front, suddenly looked at the heavy stone slab and squatted down.

"Why is there something white here?"

He squatted down, dug it out with his hands, and quickly dug out the white stuff.

Chapter 037: Their Hearts! Exit! Hikigaya-kun, why are you here?

Ishizaki-san felt like he had finally discovered something.

So dig.

Just one second.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Ishizaki screamed. "This, this is a rib!"

rib cage.

If it was just the ribs Ishizaki would probably not have yelled, but now that he's yelling, it means...

"Is it a corpse?"

Everyone's scalp tingled instantly.

The girls hugged each other in panic.

"If only, if Brother Ryuen was here at this moment!" Ishizaki quickly threw away the bone and said loudly, "He definitely won't be afraid."

"..." Hachiman.

No, Ryuuen would be scared if he saw it.

Hachiman no longer believed Takeo. Didn't you see Sudo also took several steps back?

just.

Hachiman began to think.

If this is really a corpse, then it means... it is useless to ask for help from the cave.

The Morse code sent by the radio at intervals of three hours and the lack of new specific messages indicated that the person in need had lost control of the radio.

Then, there is a high probability that... the person seeking help has been killed.

The fact that the person seeking help has become like this means that there is no one operating the radio device.

So the safest solution is to find a radio device.

just.

Is it just the radio equipment that can sustain power for that long?

Judging from the condition of the surrounding stone slabs, the ground is very wet and there are signs of flooding. The entrance to the cave is at a relatively high altitude, so it is possible that the water rushed out from inside the cave.

Generally speaking, it takes five years for a corpse to turn into bones due to natural weathering. How can wireless devices maintain power?

Judging from the seaweed on the lower half of the surrounding stone slabs and the hollowing at the very bottom of this stone slab, there should be a pool of water behind this stone slab, or there should be a pool of water in this cave.

If there is a pond with fish and it is an island, then biomass power generation is possible.

Think so.

Hachiman looked at the other stone slabs around him.

Looking from the outside, the height of the cave is very high, maybe seven or eight meters, but when you go inside, it is only two or three meters high, which means that the capacity may have been modified in other ways.

And there are corpses here... most likely those of people who went treasure hunting on their own.

"Or, let's go back."

"I totally, totally didn't expect this scene."

The students were already panicking. Matsushita quickly offered a suggestion.

She originally thought someone was asking for help...but now the bones have appeared. How can she ask for help? Just go back and call the police, call the police!

"Yeah." Hachiman also felt that given the situation, it would be better to let the students evacuate.

Next, at most, the teachers will lead the team to come in and take a look.

And when thinking about this.

"This place is spooky—"

Sudo-san stepped on the protruding part of a stone slab.

"Boom!"

Everyone noticed that the stone cave seemed to be shaking, and then a stone slab on the right side was lifted up, but Karuizawa, who was closest to it, had her left hand leaning on the stone slab, but the stone slab disappeared and she fell directly into it.

"what……"

It seemed as if one could hear panicked cries.

just.

"Are you okay?" Hikigaya-kun asked the girl who had just fallen in. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

“…” But the girl who suddenly fell in seemed to be in a daze.

But soon.

She regained consciousness.

"It's terrible, very terrible!"

Yes.

It's scary.

It was clearly Sudo who stepped on the mechanism, so why did she fall in?

Wait a moment.

"Hi, Hikigaya-kun, how did you fall in here too?" Karuizawa seemed to have finally discovered her blind spot and recognized the voice of the person she was talking to.

"..."

Because he was standing next to you just now, and you couldn't stand steadily and subconsciously pulled the person next to you, and the person being pulled was him.

"Calm down first." Hachiman said.

Karuizawa quickly behaved. "So, are you hurt?" she asked.

She also found that it was pitch black all around her. It seemed that the stone slab she was leaning on suddenly disappeared, and then she fell in. But when she looked in the direction again, she found it was pitch black.

"The slab should have been lifted up and then lowered automatically."

"As expected, this cave is probably a large mechanical fortress."

"And the bones we just found should be those of people who came here to look for treasure." Hachiman said.

"Huh?" Karuizawa was shocked. "Isn't this super scary?"

"Treasure hunting... will kill people, so what should we do now--" Karuizawa's voice stopped abruptly.

Because there were faint sounds coming from outside.

it seems that.

"Are you all right—" or something like that.

It was Ishizaki and Sudo's voices.

"It should be fine." Hikigaya-kun also said loudly. "Step on the mechanism that Sudo just stepped on again."

The sound must have gotten through, because soon after, he could hear hurried footsteps. Sudo was probably trying to remember what he had just stepped on.

Hachiman, on the other hand, held up his cell phone.

"No signal," he said.

"Eh!"

Hui also quickly picked up her phone and saw that the signal in the upper right corner of the screen had really disappeared.

"Then, then aren't we in great danger?" Hui said.

"If it is a treasure buried by the ancestors of the Onijima family, it shouldn't directly trap people to death. After all, this is something for future generations. It would be too outrageous to destroy the future generations." Hachiman said.

"Hey, so how do we get out now?"

"I'm not sure. The slab hasn't lifted yet, which means the mechanism Sudou just stepped on can't lift it again," Hachiman said. "But we should be fine. Even if Sudou can't find the mechanism, they will report back to the teacher later."

“Is that so—”

Yes.

The teachers and a large number of students were all in the dormitories outside, so there were as many rescue workers as needed, and we felt very relieved.

And thought of this.

"How terrible!"

Karuizawa directly hugged the boy next to him.

Eh?

Hachiman felt strange when he realized that the girl had hugged half of his body.

Since I clearly explained that it was safe, why would she still be afraid?

just.

Hachiman turned on the flashlight on his phone.

"It seems like we can still move forward here," Hachiman said.

"Eh? So... you mean you want to continue exploring?" Karuizawa said.

"The person seeking help might be the skeleton, but the wireless device has not been found yet."

"Besides, we may have entered a large-scale institution."

"We're in a different place from the radio transmitter," Hachiman said. "You noticed, this space is drier than the dampness just now. I guess it's separated."

And Karuizawa quickly looked around with a flashlight.

Indeed, the ground was dry, and even the surrounding stone slabs had no growth. You could even see traces of dry lime.

And I could faintly hear some sounds, like footsteps coming from further inside.

But this area is only five or six square meters in size.
