Keijo Naoya/Ayanokoji Kiyotaka POV

"The chairman?" Ikusaba said what we all were thinking of.

However, it wasn't just the chairman that was there, but also 3 security guards with the head of the security guard who looked familiar, a nurse, the student council president Horikita Manabu, and the student council vice president Nagumo Miyabi.

But why are they here? It's as if this was all expected and planned, could it be that the House Of Cards INC, or rather, Mr. Spade predicted the events to happen this way?

If that was the case then why did he do all of this? Was it really to test our problem-solving skills? Or was it to grab 1 of our attention? Or worst case scenario, a trap for someone?

"What......are you all doing here?" Kiriyama said as his face showed many emotions like nervousness, scared, and confusion.

"We came here from a tip, and to escort you and Kushida Kikyo away from school grounds," Horikita spoke in a cold tone towards Kiriyama.

"Tip? Escort? What do you mean by that Horikita-senpai?" Kiriyama questioned Horikita.

However, instead of Horikita speaking up about it, the chairman intervened and spoke on Horikita's behalf.

"What Horikita-kun means by the tip is that we've gotten it from an anonymous source which said to get to Warehouse 2-A, and bring the security guards, a nurse, Horikita-kun, and Nagumo-kun to the location. We've come to escort you 2 because you and Kushida-san are expelled and being brought to the authorities." The chairman told them as Kiriyama and Kushida widened their eyes at the information they were told.

It appears that Mr. Spade was planning to throw Kushida and Kiriyama under the bus and have them arrested and from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it was a last-minute decision if charges are being brought up at this moment.

"Wait wait wait! What charges?!" Kushida shouts in disbelief.

Now this is interesting, it looks like Kushida isn't putting on her cheery facade anymore as it seems futile.

"Firstly, you and Kiriyama-kun are accused of stealing 2 cases of propofol from the nurse's office. The security guards have already searched your dorm rooms and found a case in each room, both of which were half empty and used. Secondly, you have both been accused of kidnapping Kirigiri-san, and we have video evidence to support this accusation. Thirdly, 2 digital receipts show that both of you purchased a knife, along with a report of an assault involving a weapon used on Keijo-kun and Kirigiri-san. The evidence used on Keijo-kun has been retrieved from the special annex, and we also are about to have the other knife in our possession. In addition, Kiriyama-kun, we possess video evidence of you committing sexual misconduct against Kirigiri-san that the school cannot ignore, resulting in your expulsion and arrest, as well as Kushida-san for theft and abduction." The chairman explained all of this in 1 go without taking a break.
