Horikita POV

"I have evidence that proves the students of Class C are guilty and are the culprits of this entire incident."

The entire room was enveloped in an eerie silence when Chabashira-sensei said this. I quickly glanced around the room to see everyone's reaction to Chabashira-sensei's shocking statement.

Like me, Sudou-kun was at a loss of words. The three students from Class C looked pale as if they have experienced a traumatizing event. Sakagami-sensei and Tachibana had a look of disbelief on their face. Nishida-kun's eyes were wide and his mouth was agape. Although my brother was calm and composed, I could see the right corner of his lips curved upward.

Did he expect this? Did he know something like this was going to happen?

"E-Evidence? T-That's preposterous. If it was actually evidence, Class D would have presented the evidence yesterday," Sakagami-sensei said. His objection was supposed to come off as confident, but his voice quivered as he said that. Chabashira-sensei's statement clearly caught him off guard.

"Yes, we would have if we had it yesterday, but an anonymous person delivered this to me yesterday," Chabashira-sensei pulled out what appeared to be a flash drive from her pocket. She then turned to my brother, the student council president, with a smug grin.

"You're going to want to see this, student council president."

"N-No! Just wait a second!" A panicked Ishizaki scrambled to salvage the situation.

"W-We want to withdraw our complaint! You were going to let us do that! Right!? We want to withdraw our complaint!" Ishizaki screamed with a borderline hysterical voice.

"No, I never said that, and I would like to see this new evidence. Tachibana, if you please."

"O-Oh, yes sir." My brother's request brought Tachibana-san back to reality and she speedwalk to Chabashira-sensei and grabbed the flash drive.

"No no no no no no no no no no no NO! She said she wouldn't send the evidence to the school!"

"We're so fucked!"

I looked back at the Class C students and looked as if the world around them was falling apart. Ishizaki's body was shaking violently and tears were in his eyes. Komiya was frantically pulling his hair so hard that I thought he was going to tear his hair out. Kondou looked deathly pale and as if he was going to pass out.

"N-Nishida-kun, do you know what's going on?"

"I-I'm just as lost as you Horikita. I-I have no idea what Chabashira-sensei is talking about," Nishida-kun spoke as if he had just seen a ghost. His eyes were fixated on Chabashira-sensei and his right leg was frantically tapping against the floor. I'm glad I'm not the only one that was completely caught off guard by this whole change of events.
