Chapter 31

Z Class is a notable presence within the school.

While the reason for the creation of this class has not been made public, it is widely known that the prince has gathered a bunch of eccentrics to do something.

Many students are interested in this class but do not harbor any hostility.

However, the students of A Class are different.

Many of them do not think highly of Z Class, which is getting more attention than they, who are supposed to be the top students.

And the direction in which Luisha and the others are heading is, as you might guess, A Class.

"Sorry! I'm going to need you to clear the way!"

Barn, leading the way, runs down the corridor, pushing aside the students as he heads for A Class.

Since the students of Z Class, who usually have their classes in a separate building, are rarely seen in the main building, the students naturally focus their attention on Luisha and the others.

"Oh, that's the classroom of A Class. What are you going to do, Luisha?"

"…I'll fix it later."

"Ha! That's great!"

Barn instantly understands Luisha's thoughts and kicks the door open with all his might.

With a loud crash, the door is broken, and the students of A Class are startled by the sudden event.

Luisha and the Three Idiots appear before them, one after another.

Barn glares around the classroom.

It seems that most of the students are present. The culprit is likely among them.

"Hey, hey, hey! I've come to pick a fight! I have a good idea who did it! Come out already!"

Barn shouts, but the culprit does not come forward.

Instead, the students are giggling at the sight of Luisha and the others.

"…It looks like they're going to deny it."

Not everyone in this class is a culprit.

But many of them find it amusing to see Luisha and the others in a bind.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's the students of Z Class. What brings you here?"

Among the students, a central figure named Haurou approaches and speaks.

He is from a very high-ranking noble family and, as expected, has a high sense of pride.

"Hello, Haurou. Actually, someone has vandalized our classroom, and we're looking for the culprit."

"That's unfortunate. But to suspect us is a bit hasty, isn't it?"

Haurou grins as he says this to Luisha.

"Besides, it could be an inside job. There's no student who would go out of their way to vandalize such a dirty, or rather, charming old building. Heh, Z Class, after all, has many students from lower-ranking families. Wouldn't it be better to suspect them?"

As Haurou says this, trying to suppress his laughter, the other students begin to laugh as well.

Seeing this, the Three Idiots are about to attack, but Luisha holds them back with a hand.

"Luisha…! They're definitely the ones! Don't stop me!"

"If we attack them here, it will play right into their hands. We might even be expelled."

"Then you want us to just stand by and do nothing?"

As Barn says this, Luisha grins and replies.

"Of course not. Just leave it to me."

Luisha stands before Haurou and pulls a strand of hair from his pocket.

"This is a strand of hair I found in my classroom."

Haurou, surprised by the sudden appearance of the hair, asks, "So what?"

"This strand of hair has trace amounts of 'salt' on it. And the composition matches that of sea salt. A Class went to the sea for their morning class, didn't they?"
