"Matsuyama"

"As in that Matsuyam-sensei?"

Just as they were discussing this Matsuyama came into the room. "Aren't you already to leave yet? There's nothing left for you to do. So me a favor, pack your things and go." he said

Everyone stared at him.

"I'm terribly sorry but there's something else we need to talk about"-Naru

"Hmm, what's left to discuss?"-Matsuyama

"Sensei, I think that you should hear this."-Naru

"What? Is this about your fees"-Matsuyama

"You idi--"-Mai was about to yell but Monk held her back 'What's with this old jerk' she thought.

"Don't you dare try to trick me. Never mind, just leave now."-Matsuyama

Naru showed him the sheet.

"What's this"-Matsuyama

"It's a cursed charm"-Naru

"A cursed charm?"-Matsuyama

"Sensei are you aware that kukkuri-san is popular in your school?"-Naru

"Well... its just a silly game"-Matsuyama

"This is used in Kokkuri-san. It seems that someone has introduced a new deceptive form of kokkuri-san."-Naru

"So?"-Matsuyama

"The cursed charm was used to cast a murder hex."-Naru

"That's completely absurd! It's possible to kill someone with a curse. And who, might I ask, was the intended victim?"-Matsuyama

"You, Matsuyama-sensei. Isn't that right, Lin?"-Naru

"Yes sir"-Lin

"Why me?"-Matsuyama

"Takigawa can you read sanskrit?"-Naru

"Uh-huh, well enough to get by"-Monk

"Please read what it says here on the right."-Naru

"It says "write the name of the cursed victim here". I see, I can make out the name Hideaki Matsuyama."-Monk

"Wha-"-Matsuyama

"Sanskrit is completely unnecessary for playing kokkuri-san. Also, the left side lists an age, Naru can you read it?"

"I'm terrible at reading Kanji, but it says "Tou sai go juu san" It means, 53 years old this year. That's about your age, isn't it?"-Naru

Matsuyama stared at Naru

"Good thing for us that the age at least was written in this standard legible way. If matsuyama had been written this clearly, anyone could have guessed something was going on. I wonder why it was deliberately written in sanskrit?"-Naru

"Who-who could have done this"-Matsuyama

"Invoking orikiri-sama became popular within the art club and first year students. But not everyone is capable of performing this curse easily. This is clearly a person to be reckoned with."-Naru

"Wait! Was it Sakauchi!? What was that idiot trying to do? What the hell are you?"-Matsuyama

"Don't you realize why you were chosen?"-Yasu

"Yasuhara"-Matsuyama

"'I'm not a dog'. That's all that was in Sakauchi-kun's suicide note. We all felt this school treated us like we were dogs. Any of us could have written this about you sensei. Sensei you represent everything that's wrong with this school."-Yasu
