[Matsuoka Rei POV]
I was sitting in the dark room since the other girl here with refused to turn it on. Making myself comfortable on her couch, she eventually walked over to .
I looked up at her.
"I did what you wanted to, Akachi Hi. Are you going to explain your intentions to now?"
"Aw, co on, Rei, don't you want so tea?"
I sighed.
"I only did what you asked because I thought that it was interesting. Don't get the wrong idea, thinking that we're friends."
Akachi laughed.
"Alright, alright. I wouldn't want soone from the Ideal Human Project to turn on ~."
I still didn't understand how she knew that. From all my mories of that ti, there was no sign of anyone like her being part of the project. Despite knowing a lot about my past, she had no recollection of Tachibana-sensei, which was the part that confused the most.
"Who really are you?"
"Aha, you don't have to be so blunt."
"You know, you really know too much about . If you don't explain yourself, I will get rid of you."
She laughed again.
"I was part of the Ideal Human Project too."
"That's a lie. I don't rember you at all."
"Is your mory that good?"
I got up. Despite the fact that I was getting into her personal space, she didn't move back at all. Instead, she was just listlessly smiling at .
She poked my nose before speaking.

"The Ideal Human Project was based off Subject Zero, also known as ."

"I don't know what you an."
"It's not that hard to understand, you know?"
"Explain it further."
"I can't just tell you everything like that. Don't worry, though. I've got another job for you."
I looked down at her.
"I'm not here to run your errands."
"It'll help you get what you want, too~. I know that you Outcos value your Mission above anything else. So I'm sure that you'll happily agree."
"What is it."
"I assu you know who Akihiko Harumi is, right?"

... [Return to Mizuhara Ayato POV]
I was reading alone in my dorm room when I noticed the subtle glint of what appeared to be a cara. It seed to have been planted on my cupboard, which was a weird position for it since it was facing toward the door, instead of anything that Kimura or I might have been doing
Making my way over, I pulled it off the wood that it was stuck to.
It was very small, almost unnoticeable, had the sun not found its way to that exact spot. There weren't any buttons on it, which ant that it was controlled remotely.
What a pain.
This didn't seem like the type of thing that Tachibana would try, which ant that there was soone else who had sothing against either Kimura or . I'd have to figure that out eventually.
I called Akihiko to my room.
...
A few minutes later, the door slid open.
"What's the matter, Mizuhara?"
I showed her the cara.
"I found this in my room."
She seed surprised. Holding it in her hand, she looked at it closely.
"I did see these being sold at the store."
"You didn't plant this, did you?"
She looked at .
"No, of course not!"
It didn't seem that she was lying.
"Do you have any idea where it could have co from?"
She was examining the cara. I wasn't sure how much technology knowledge she had, but it was possible that it was a first-year who planted this, especially after the situation with Matsuoka Rei.
"I'm not sure exactly who might have done this. They must have had access to your room. Who's your roommate?"
"It's Kimura Haruto."
"I see. I'm not sure if there's anyone from the first-years who might be close to him."
"It's fine then. Just keep an eye on Matsuoka. Tell if she does anything unexpected."
"Alright."
With that, Akihiko left. It seed that she was in a rush for so reason as well.
She had given the cara back to , so I decided to just leave it inside one of the drawers. If Kimura really was related to this, then he'd likely try to retrieve the cara or do sothing else with it.
As I opened Presetqa, I noticed sothing interesting. It looked like we couldn't observe the attributes of students from other year levels. It seed like a redundant additions since you could just ask soone from their year level to check for you.
I guess the school must have so other reason for setting that up. The school never made decisions for no reason, especially since Tachibana Kohei was such a ticulous person.
I could've asked Akihiko to check the stats I needed for , but there was sothing else I wanted to do. Putting on my shoes, I made my way out of my room.
I was eting with Hamasaki to discuss what we were going to do about Furukawa. It was clear that he had gained a lot of credibility after the special exam, which ant that it would be much easier for him to gain control of the class.
Hamasaki had booked a room in the karaoke centre, which was the best place to talk without the risk of being seen. I didn't exactly see the need for so much privacy, but it didn't matter that much where we talked.
Eventually, I entered the room to see that she was already seated.
...
She looked over at .
"You're finally here."
"I'm on ti, am I not?"
"Just barely."
I took a seat opposite her.
She took out her phone and showed sothing.
"I talked with so of the others in our class, and it seems that a lot of them are unhappy with the way Kaoru acted during the special exam."
"I suppose that's understandable."
"We need to find a way to build her reputation back up."
I decided to let Hamasaki speak; to see what her ideas were in regard to this.
