The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

"Let me hold it." Archangel Ichinose said considerately.

Then, with Ichinose's help, the stone gate blocking everyone's way was lifted up by the mechanism.

Almost at the moment the stone gate was lifted up, a large amount of water rushed towards them, which quickly became over their knees instead of over their ankles at the beginning.

We simply didn't raise the water level any further, and everyone could barely stand.

Shining a flashlight forward, I saw the scene inside. This area was quite large, perhaps over a hundred square meters, but there were puddles and pools of water that were knee-deep.

"Hachiman, is that the radio device you're looking for?"

Karuizawa now took out her mobile phone and turned on the flashlight mode. She found that after the stone door was opened, there was a pool of water inside. The depth of the pool was still uncertain, but she quickly saw a device half-hanging on the wall following the light.

And devices for biomass electricity conversion.

"Wow--"

There seemed to be something in the pool, but judging by the sound, it was probably just a fish.

"Don't go any further for now," Hikigaya-kun said. "We can't be sure how deep the pool ahead is."

"and."

Hachiman pulled Karuizawa back a little.

Following them out came a sizzling electric eel.

It’s pretty much as expected.

Biomass power generation.

This is a very rare device.

In other words, the fact that they can think of this and prepare such a device means that the owner of the device is well prepared.

"We've found a radio device," Hachiman said. "And a pool like this is simply unsuitable for human survival."

Even so, Hachiman continued to shine his flashlight forward. He could see that this wasn't the center yet. He could go a little further inside, or perhaps there was another stone chamber. And that stone chamber was completely dry, unlike this one.

Although Hachiman was using a flashlight, there was some light in the pool.

Because you can see some bright lights when you look up. It is still afternoon and the starry sky has not appeared yet, but if it is night, you can probably see the night sky above from here.

Should be a nice sight.

If the mechanisms in this cave were all arranged and made by the predecessors of the Onijima family, then someone would have needed to keep pressing the switch to open the door just now.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to open the door, or you won’t be able to get out once you get in.

This must be a message to future generations about solidarity and mutual assistance. Once you get inside, you can see the beautiful night sky.

But there's no point in thinking about it now.

"At first," Hachiman said to the two. "I had no hope that the person seeking help was still alive."

"Because if the other party is in a better condition, they can directly use their cell phone to communicate, but our cell phone just lost signal in here. Only the person asking for help has a radio device."

"And the radio keeps sending the same information repeatedly at intervals. This is not conducive to the other party's self-rescue." Hachiman said.

"Does that mean the other party is in great danger?" Ichinose felt a little sad when he heard that.

"That's probably the case," Hachiman said. "Actually, we came in from another cave and found a pile of bones. It's very likely the person who asked for help. He might have entered this pool, and because of the trap just now, without someone holding him down from outside, he couldn't get out."

"so."

"He was trapped inside, but he tried to save himself, as everyone heard on the radio. But no one responded, and he died before rescue arrived," Hachiman said.

"Then the body began to dissolve over time. The tide washed it away, and only then did a piece of bone wash up in the cave where we came in."

After hearing this, the three of them fell silent.

Ichinose's class came here to rescue people, but what they got now is...the rescuer has been dead for a long time.

It's inevitable to feel a little sad.

However, now that the radio device has been discovered, everyone's actions have come to an end.

"Let's go out." Hachiman said to Ichinose.

"Ah."

Ichinose, who had been pressing the switch, also let go.

"Click--" the opened stone door closed again.

The amount of water overflowing from the cracks in the stone gate also decreased.

However, the three of them could only support each other and wade through the water to walk out.

Fortunately, they remembered the location of the mechanism they used to get in, so the way out was not difficult. It took about 20 minutes to walk back and forth.

"Click——"

They heard the sound.

"It seems like a stone door opened. Oh, surprise! They came out."

It turned out that Sudo and the others were still staying in the cave.

"benefit!"

Karuizawa's friends were still there, and when they saw Karuizawa coming out, Sato quickly hugged her.

Matsushita breathed a sigh of relief, because it was she who suggested getting everyone to work on this, and if something really went wrong, she wouldn't be able to take the responsibility.

"You guys are really brave."

Hachiman noticed that two teachers had come to the cave at some point.

He is Hikigaya-kun's former and current homeroom teacher.

Chapter 040: Sakayanagi's secret message, as the vice president, he understands it very well!

Both class teachers were in the cave.

"Don't come to such a gloomy place," said Mr. Sakagami, Hikigaya-kun's current homeroom teacher. "Ishizaki just said they dug up bones. This is not something you should be involved in."

in fact.

Mr. Sakagami supports treasure hunting, but he can't stand it if human lives are actually at stake.

"Don't act on your own. Even if you have an idea, it's best to report it to the teachers." Chabashira-sensei was gentler, but his tone was a little reproachful.

Since Karuizawa also lost contact, and Karuizawa is a student in Class D, it is not surprising that Chabashira-sensei appears here.

just.

Perhaps it was difficult for Chabashira-sensei, Hachiman noticed that even though she was still wearing high heels, she felt like her ankles were covered in dirt.

Then there is a high possibility that he heard about the students' situation, rushed over, and then his shoes fell off.

Then he hurried over.

It’s hard for her.

Hikigaya-kun felt a little guilty.

However, the teachers were all present at the scene, which did put some students' minds at ease.

So Hachiman took the initiative to say,

"Originally, we were considering whether anyone might need help. So we formed a temporary support team."

"This happened after I accidentally touched the mechanism," said Hachiman.

"So there really is a treasure?" asked Mr. Sakagami.

"The three of us walked to a place close to the center, where there was a pool of water," Hachiman said. "Then we found the radio transmitter."

"But unfortunately, the water inside was up to the knee level."

"No one survived."

"And the person sending the radio message might be the owner of the bones we first found in the cave."

"..." XN

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

I wanted to help others, but found that the person I was looking for help had already turned into bones.

Then it would be a waste of effort.

And what's the point of treasure hunting? People have already died.

just.

"Eh? Why is Ichinose-san in here too?"

Apparently, it was only then that everyone realized that there was a little tail following Hikigaya-san.

"Oh, it's similar with Ichinose and the others. They entered the cave from a different place than us, but they all entered the cave with the intention of seeking help, and then they met him," Hachiman explained.

"The students in my class were really worried, so we formed a team of 15 and went to explore the cave," Ichinose said. "But we got separated by a mechanism in the cave."

"So what's the situation of the others now?" Teacher Sakagami asked quickly.

"There was no signal in the cave, but now we're out and have received the message," Ichinose said. "Kanzaki, Shibata-san and the others have reunited and are already out of the cave."

"Everyone, let's go back to the dormitory first." Ichinose said.

"Next time, such unauthorized actions will not be allowed." And Mr. Sakagami said. Hoshinomiya was not here, otherwise he would definitely say something.

However, this means that all three second-grade classes, BCD, have people assigned to investigate.

Although this rash action is out of line and may be subject to investigation, it is acceptable as long as no one gets into trouble.

and.

This also reflects the kindness of the students.

From this perspective, the students in Class A didn't enter the cave at all. So, the students in Class A were actually not as good as them.

Sakagami-sensei thought it was perfect.

Because of incidents of accidentally touching switches and even people being locked out, all the students who came with the intention of helping and being curious initially went back.

after all.

It would be terrible if the person seeking help died and his companions were also injured.

So everyone withered.

Simultaneously.

Mr. Chabashira and Mr. Majima are preparing to discuss with other teachers how to deal with this matter.

Have to report back to school.

Then, we had to temporarily ground the students. After all, it wasn't just the second-year students who were on the island, there were also first-year and third-year students. If the first-year and third-year students were also so cheerful and carefree, it would be difficult to handle and they would get into danger.

No one will be responsible then.

but.

The situation of the remains dug up by Ishizaki Daichi still needs to be dealt with, and he should report it to the nearest police station first.

Ask the other party to arrange someone to come over.

I hope it won’t affect this month’s special exam.

The teachers thought to themselves.

Hachiman and the others also returned to the dormitory.

just.

"Next, let's go take a bath." Hachiman suggested.

"Let's take a shower. I always feel like I smell a little weird after staying in the cave." Sudo said. Then he sniffed his own body and frowned, as if he was moldy.

There is nothing much to say about the girls.

Because they entered the lake together with Hachiman, Ichinose and Karuizawa took off their socks and waded in the water together.
