Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

However, since the other party is able to prevent surveillance and detection, there will be no mistakes in the handwriting.

As expected, after seeing the handwriting on the note, Ichinose did not react at all.

"Does Ichinose-san have any guesses?"

"............I can't see anything."

"I see. That's a shame. If the problem can be solved like this, we won't have to worry about it."

Sakayanagi was as confident and proper as ever.

"............If it's possible, Sakayanagi-san, could you please hand me the stack of test papers in your hand?"

"Of course, Ichinose-san. That was my original plan. Although I've already read the contents, I still don't want the battle between our two classes to be affected by these things."

If that were the case, then I wouldn't have checked the contents of the note.

Since Sakayanagi was still in Class A's classroom, Ichinose only glanced at the note after receiving it and said nothing more.

"How about this, is this a question about the test questions that Class A is going to make?"

Sakayanagi seemed somewhat interested, or rather, provocative.

"............In order to fulfill the agreement between us, I can't tell Sakayanagi-san about this. I think Sakayanagi-san also has this idea."

Ichinose showed no sign of wavering or resolute calmness, which was probably because the content of the note had not been confirmed.

The authenticity of the note is questionable.

"Yes. Right now, I am just concerned about you as a friend of Ichinose."

"Thank you for your concern. I will give Sakayanagi-san an explanation as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for Ichinose-san on this matter. After all, the opponent's skills are so outstanding, I'm sure the problem will not be solved in a short time. If there are more test questions made by Class A in our classroom later, I will also send them to Ichinose-san."

"......Then I'll trouble you, Sakayanagi-san."

Ichinose tried his best to smile in response, but in reality, he was a little hesitant.

"Since this isn't Ichinose-san's fault, it would be rude to continue staying in Class A like this. Well, please allow me to take my leave."

"Do you need my help?"

Ichinose probably wanted to lend a hand because he saw that Sakayanagi had trouble walking.

"I appreciate Ichinose-san's kindness, but it would be better if you don't force yourself."

Sakayanagi answered.

Obviously, Ichinose was not the one who needed a cane and had difficulty walking, but the word "reluctantly" came out of Sakayanagi's mouth. The current conversation seemed a little difficult to understand, and I didn't know what the other party meant.

Before leaving, Sakayanagi took the beret on his head as a farewell.

Afterwards, the other group walked towards the back of the classroom.

It is not difficult to understand that Class B's classroom is behind Class A.

So you want to go out from the back door of Class A? Isn't this action a bit too bold?

Sakayanagi didn't notice anything wrong with her behavior, and the other Class B students following behind her seemed to have gained strength from their class leader and remained calm in the face of danger.

Before I could recover from Sakayanagi's unexpected move, he had already arrived in front of me.

My eyes followed Sakayanagi to the back door, and her figure disappeared......

No, actually Sakayanagi was standing right in front of me. Himeno took a step to the side, frowning slightly, feeling a bit uneasy. Kanzaki was much calmer, watching silently.

Then the next step is——

Under my gaze, Sakayanagi placed her hands on my chest, and her whole body tended to lean into my arms, but she stopped at the most critical step. This did not prevent her from getting closer to me.

"Lord Luo should be satisfied with this result."

satisfaction?

Why satisfied?

Everything you do, whether from a class standpoint or as an individual, only makes me angry.

But why?

Why don't I feel anything about this now?

Sakayanagi moved her fingertips slightly, inserted four fingers into the gap between the buttons of my shirt, and pulled it down hard. It looked like she was helping me tidy up my clothes, and in fact, I did feel a lot more relaxed.

"Trust between humans is such a fragile thing."

Sakayanagi lowered her voice so that only the two of us could hear this conclusion.

It turned out to be the case.

The reason why I don’t have any feelings is because I haven’t gotten any results yet.

Whether it's Sakayanagi, Himeno, or even all the students I know in and outside the class, including myself, it's just a process of proving myself now.

The real answer lies with Ichinose.

I met Sakayanagi's gaze with indifference.

"Sakayanagi-san!"

At the podium, Ichinose suddenly shouted, and the students who were unable to react were startled. Even Sakayanagi was not expecting this move, and her fingers that were holding my shirt began to waver, but she quickly calmed down and returned to her normal state, slowly loosening her grip.

Ichinose seemed to realize that his voice had just gone awry, and adjusted his tone in the next sentence.

"Excuse me, is there anything else I can help you with?"

The gentle tone was different from before, carrying a heavy sense of depression, and the atmosphere around it was also mixed with contradictions.

In this situation, Ichinose would normally look shaken, but she didn't show that.

For a moment I saw what I wanted.

But it was only for a moment.

What I want and what I want, although different, are mutually exclusive.

It doesn't matter how much hatred I bear from humanity, what matters is change.

"Nothing, just a quick hello."

Sakayanagi turned around and chuckled, then left Class A without looking back.

"See you next time, Luo Jun."

I didn't respond.

Chapter 201: The ambiguous consciousness wanders

[Luo Jun should be satisfied with this result. ]

Parting words.

Just as Sakayanagi said, what she did just now was just to satisfy my purpose, not as a unique gift given to me......

No, in a sense, this is indeed what Sakayanagi called a "gift" earlier, but this gift is given to all the students in Class A, and is openly directed at me.

Everything happened under my witness, and this is a fact that cannot be tampered with by human power.

But, something is strange——

I felt this way as I recalled the conversation I had with Sakayanagi some time ago.

There was no mistake in the negotiation, but there was a clear sense of disharmony from the gift trap.

[What do you think of this gift I gave you? 】

[But it doesn’t matter, after all, I have prepared a gift. ]

I saw the attitude of everyone in the class.

"......"

It turned out to be the case.

When things have come to this point, it means that the other party has already determined that the situation is irreversible.

Because I won't do anything to hinder it.

I was never a "gift recipient" from the beginning to the end, and Sakayanagi never stated this. If the current situation is compared to a chemical reaction, then I can only be regarded as a by-product of the reaction at best.

So--

[Perhaps if Luo-kun tells Ichinose-san about this, he might be able to find out. ]

So the real purpose is to build Ichinose's psychological defenses?

Judging from the reaction of the previous conversation, there was no sign of direct contact between the two parties during this period. In other words, Ichinose learned some information through other means.

I need to confirm whether Ichinose has even had that little bit of doubt.

Even more deeply, Ichinose may have figured out the trick I used in the special test of survival on the deserted island. If I want to confirm this indirectly, I can find out by asking Mr. Hoshinomiya.

In this ruse, Sakayanagi calculated the actions of all of us, including me.

On this basis, she deliberately used it in the most ostentatious way, making Ichinose think that she was [helpless], while directing the problem to the students in her own class, and I was just a pawn of the other party.

[Trust] is the only weapon that Ichinose can use to disrupt Sakayanagi's plan.

If he could relate this to the trick I used in the special test for surviving on an uninhabited island, then Ichinose might be able to see the current situation more clearly.

I hope Ichinose can remain calm enough, but at the same time I don't want her to analyze everything too thoroughly.

Rather than the result of victory, both my rationality and emotion are eager to know the little that is left in my heart.

【Trust between humans is such a fragile thing. 】

Are we worthy of trust?

So, I can also become a catalyst.

“............What on earth is going on?”

There was silence for a long time, and no one could suppress the doubts in their hearts.

"The [Offense] test we made was leaked to Class B, and Sakayanagi said something like that to Rakuten-san......"

"Does Captain Ichinose know what happened? And Takuya, why would Sakayanagi say that to you?"

Although the leader of Class B, Sakayanagi, has left Class A's classroom, the disturbance she left behind is still disturbing everyone in our class.

Under the podium, everyone was clearly discussing their disagreements. From the looks in their eyes, it was clear that everyone was trying their best to avoid the idea of ​​"class betrayer"; but given the current situation, it was hard not to push things in that direction.

[Luo is a traitor to the class.]

"Luo, do you know what Sakayanagi-san meant by the last words he said to you?"

After a burst of noisy noise, Okabe, who was on good terms with me, could no longer bear it and asked me a question.

Slowly, the class became quiet and everyone's eyes fell on me.

The same is true for Ichinose.

Kanzaki, who moved to my side when Sakayanagi approached, showed no emotion and was quite calm. He seemed to be expecting my explanation, but also seemed to be observing my reaction.

Ji Ye tilted his head and looked at me in confusion.

If I am the [Class Traitor], then I think Himeno is one of the most difficult people in the class.

Why do I do this, why do I have such strength, and what has been my purpose so far......

If I spread the impact of the incident to the whole class, maybe I can get that special result.

Therefore, it is not necessary to solve everyone’s confusion right now.

"Although it's a little sudden... [Raku-kun should be satisfied with this result.]... Sakayanagi-san, what you meant by this is that I'm the one who leaked the [Offense] test questions for Class A... right?"

It would be nice if I could show that I'm troubled at this moment, but I'm not sure what effect that would have.

"What kind of answer is that............"

I directly stated the speculation that the rest of the class wanted to avoid the most, and everyone expressed dissatisfaction with my statement.

It should have been a misleading statement, but it sounded slightly different to Ichinose.

The two pupils were peering over here.
