Anime Crossover: A single ranking exposed the world

Page 199

"Is this the title they've given me? How ironic..."

However, upon hearing Monokuma address him in that way, his brow furrowed slightly.

Before gaining supernatural powers, Kanzaki Teru was an assassin.

"As an assassin, you were already a much more suspicious person than others, but now you've deliberately exposed that you possess a murder weapon. Isn't that just walking into a trap?"

"I can't just watch someone die and do nothing, can I? I didn't have a choice before."

"I could only kill endlessly, but now I'm free. What I want to do, whom I want to save, is my own business."

"Oh ho ho, what a heroic spirit!"

Although he said that, Kanzaki Teru felt no respect from the other party whatsoever.

Chapter 322: Siege

"Just how much do you know about me?"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, what are you talking about? Of course I know everything! After all, I'm the headmaster!"

As the dean, of course I need to know the situation of my precious students; otherwise, I would be unworthy of my profession.

He cunningly shifted the focus of the conversation, but after all, the other party was just a character in this illusion.

Even threatening it wouldn't work, so Kanzaki Teru gave up on continuing the topic.

"Is killing students something a dean should do?"

"I'm just making an example of someone to scare others; after all, I don't want any unrelated deaths to occur."

But if I don't do this, you guys probably won't believe the current situation.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Kanzaki Teru's gaze drifted to the hot girl he had just pushed away.

Although Monokuma did not show any particularly obvious expression when he noticed his gaze.

However, Kanzaki Teru was still able to keenly sense that the other party's reaction was somewhat strange.

"Isn't that reason enough?"

At this moment, the people around finally realized what had happened, especially the hot girl who had almost been killed.

His face was filled with disbelief, and he was still somewhat shaken.

How dare you do this!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, it's all because you resisted me, but now you know I'm serious."

If anyone disrupts the academy's order again, I will punish that person without hesitation.

After saying this, Monokuma got up again.

"Then let's all do our best in the search, and see you at the class trial later."

With a light jump, a hole about the same size as the black and white bear suddenly appeared under its feet.

Then it just fell in, and the crater disappeared completely.

Everyone was left standing there, stunned.

"Then it seems that Ms. Enoshima Junko is not the culprit."

The girl in the black gothic outfit made a calm judgment at this moment, but Kanzaki Teru also learned the name of the hot girl from earlier.

"Ceresia, it's too early to draw conclusions. Perhaps the other party did this on purpose."

It's possible that Junko Enoshima is in cahoots with Monokuma, and this method is used to clear her name.

"Do you think you can escape from that attack, Togami Byakuya? It looks like Monokuma attacked with the intention of killing her."

Despite Togami Byakuya's tough stance, Celestia did not back down in the slightest.

"Please stop arguing, both of you. No matter what, we need to gather evidence now."

"Just as Kyoko Kirigiri said, this is the key now."

Arguing here won't get us anywhere; let's gather evidence first.

Celestia accepted Kyoko Kirigiri's suggestion, but the focus shifted to Hikaru Kanzaki at this moment.

"Kansaki Teru, where have you been all this time?"

You completely disappeared after our first meeting at the start of the semester, making you the prime suspect here.

Moreover, your title is "Ultimate Assassin," so your killing ability must be top-notch.

Upon hearing this, Kanzaki Teru realized that he did not have the memories of the start of school that they were talking about.

But now it seems very likely that this is something like a pre-set configuration.

Although I have no memory of it, the other party knows it perfectly well.

"I cannot answer that."

"Don't try to fool me! Admit it! You killed Sayaka Maizono, didn't you!"

Seeing the other party's incessant chatter, Kanzaki Teru sighed helplessly.

Although he was able to remain calm in such an environment, he was ultimately just a high school student.

"If I really did kill them, I certainly wouldn't have left so many clues."

Moreover, if my goal was to kill, why did I reveal my strength just now?

This is such a simple thing, you could figure it out with a little thought, right? You'd probably have to repeat elementary school.

Upon hearing Kanzaki Teru's words, Togami Byakuya merely wore a disdainful smile.

Pfft—But at that very moment, an untimely laugh rang out from the crowd.

"Say what you will, but right now you are the prime suspect. If you want to clear your name, then go find the culprit."

"If you have time to stand here like an idiot, you might as well go and investigate to see if there is any useful information."

"I would have investigated even if you hadn't told me!"

He turned and stormed out of the room, and most of the others, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, also left.

Chapter 323: The Talent to Kill

Only Kyoko Kirigiri, another unusually robust-looking girl, and Junko Enoshima, whom Hikaru Kanzaki had just rescued, remained in the room.

Why don't the three of you leave?

"I want to thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to survive."

Although he appears unruly on the surface, he is not inherently bad.

Even after learning about Kanzaki Teru's title, Enoshima Junko still sincerely thanked him.

"It's okay, I'm just doing this for myself."

Even so, I am very grateful to you, and I will definitely repay you if I have the chance.

After saying that, Junko Enoshima left the room.

But for some reason, something about her seemed a little strange just now.

Although he could sense something was off, Kanzaki Teru didn't delve into it for the time being.

After all, it doesn't seem to have much connection to the current case.

"There are still things I want to investigate."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kyoko Kirigiri answered Hikaru Kanzaki's question directly; she was also the one who had been chuckling earlier.

Although it may appear cold on the surface, it actually has a side that is not known to others.

However, it doesn't seem that Kanzaki Hikari stayed in the room because of anything else, as she had already begun investigating the body.

"And why are you staying here, Oogami Sakura-san?"

Upon hearing Kyoko Kirigiri's question, Sakura Oogami simply stood still, staring intently at Teru Kanzaki.

"I'm doing this to protect you. This person is dangerous, and you definitely can't fight him."

Upon hearing her words, Kyoko Kirigiri did not react.

Although Kanzaki Teru admires the spirit of companions like Oogami Sakura, he doesn't have any abilities right now.

Kanzaki Teru couldn't possibly lose to an opponent like that; after all, he's just a high school student.

Although he was also a high school student, the amount of hell they had experienced and seen was completely different.

In terms of death-phase waves, Kanzaki Teru was confident that he had more experience than anyone else present.

"No need, Oogami Sakura-san. I appreciate your kindness, but I believe Kanzaki Teru-san isn't that kind of person."

"But......"

"It's fine."

Seeing her firm stance, Oogami Sakura had no choice but to give up.

"If you try to fight me, I will stop you even if it costs me my life."

Although it was threatening, Kanzaki Teru knew that she was simply worried about Kirigiri Kyoko's safety, so she didn't take her words to heart.

Moreover, Kanzaki Teru has more important things to deal with right now, even though Monokuma said he needs to solve this case.

But for Kanzaki Teru, it's not that simple, because his student handbook seems to be a little different from everyone else's.

Taking advantage of this break, Kanzaki Teru first picked up Maizono Sayaka's electronic manual and compared it with his own.

"It is indeed somewhat different."

I glanced at the content above, and although they were exactly the same in the most basic aspects.

However, the content on Kanzaki Hikaru's document is significantly more extensive, and Kanzaki Hikaru has already been given his own mission.

Find the truth behind all the events and uncover everything behind them.

Although it is only a short line, it contains a wealth of information that cannot be understood in a short time.

"Find the truth behind all the incidents"—this single sentence was enough to make Kanzaki Teru feel uneasy.
