Compared to security, the access control of Hope Peak is the most relaxed. When I swaggered into the academy dressed like some member of the Peace Love Cult in a black robe, no one even noticed me or even interrogated me.

It's right to think about it. Looking at the whole of Japan, there should be no organization group that dares to come here to make trouble; If there is really a personal disturbance that has nothing to do when you are full, or there is a deep blood feud......

In this school, from the guy who draws the lottery like picking up cabbage, to the guy who jumps into the maglev in one step, it can really be said that it abounds. If there is a real imitator of the Love of Peace cultist, the fireworks will be thrown out at the first time.

According to the description in the prequel novel, the peak of hope is terrifyingly large. But it's not as comprehensive as it is in the novel. The pre-university building (or "tax center") to the west is also scaffolded, as if it were being expanded; The new undergraduate building, which looks like a skyscraper to the east, has more and more scaffolding erected, and it is still being demolished, and it is estimated that it is almost completed.

In contrast, if the dormitory to the south can be described as "normal", the old school building to the north can be described as "lifeless" or even "desolate".

Wait, that's it. In despair...... Each episode is darker than the last......

Could it be ...... I looked up and saw the college flag raised high in the sky, and my heart sank.

Damn, didn't catch up with the grand event of beating Brother Koma?

It's a pity...... Although I don't agree with the logic of the madman leader, I have to thank him for helping to wake up someone very important.

Stand in the middle of the academy, where it is called the "Central Square". In the vast woods like a park, I felt a little melancholy.

Then I saw her, a white-haired woman wearing a mask and frustrated with her nervous eyes, sitting by the fountain in the central square, where Sotsumi Hinata and Chiaki Nanami played games together in the Hope Chapter. Although I couldn't see her expression clearly, I knew that she was crying without looking at me.

OK...... Time Old Man. And I'm in the same camp. I walked up and patted Shizuko Kimura on the shoulder so she could notice me.

"Ah...... Hello...... Hello......" Shizuko Kimura wiped her tears and sighed, "It's a pity...... I can't...... Help...... Anyone...... I...... Expel...... ...... student status"

I admit that if it weren't for the way I would need her so much in the future, I really didn't want to communicate with her just because she stuttered words in groups. It's so uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, senior sister, I'm not looking for your help," I said, "I'm here to help you." ”

Perhaps suspecting that she had misheard, Shizuko Kimura raised her head in surprise and looked at me in astonishment: "You want to ...... Help...... I? ”

I nodded in the affirmative.

"How...... Help ......"

"I want to ...... I can give you the opportunity to continue researching the drug. I said.

Unlike the almost zombie madman in the despair chapter, she just sighed and didn't have a seizure.

"It's useless," Shizuko Kimura's voice revealed a faint, indescribable bitterness, "I...... Can't help ......"

"You can't help people, and it makes you feel desperate, right?" Jumped up and sat on the back of a park bench, "I didn't expect that...... You are a person with a high degree of altruism. I'm curious, are you really happy? ”

"Huh?!" Shizuko Kimura raised her head abruptly and subconsciously retorted, "As a pharmacist, isn't it right to help people?" And...... And people who have benefited a lot from using my potions...... They were all very happy......

I really didn't expect that in a hurry, Shizuko Kimura's speech speed instantly became coherent.

"Well, I believe. I'm just one of the guys you met in the park today.,Crazy guys—this school park,There aren't a few students who aren't crazy—unlike your biggest client.,she's more vocal," I came to force a verdict, "They really need you, and they should help you when you're in trouble." Unfortunately, no one did. Even your best friend, every time he asks you for help, says that you are best friends; Once it didn't like it, he scolded it. Do you know...... Why is that? ”

"No...... I don't listen! Shizuko Kimura covered her ears and shouted, "What the hell are you ...... ...... the end?"

"Your help is too cheap," I said, "and you won't refuse, you won't make conditions, you won't even ask for help!" Unilateral charity will not be seen as a savior, but only as a ...... A fool who can throw it away when it runs out. ”

"Say no more!" Shizuko Kimura angrily ripped off her mask, and her bright braces looked particularly incongruous under her sickly complexion. She covered her ears and yelled at me, "No way! No way! It won't be like this......"

"Whether it will be like this or not, you and I know very well. You should know that too, right? Even if you go back to school and graduate successfully, the situation will not change," I spoke at a rapid pace, "Soon, someone will invite you to continue to satisfy your hobby of 'unpaid giving', but the situation will not change in any way." Think of it, to join those people and continue this one-size-fits-all replica of life; Or accept my offer and try new sensations, the choice is yours. ”

Seeing a beautiful woman in her twenties in a light-toned maid outfit walking slowly, I decided not to meet her. Without waiting for Shizuko Kimura to answer, I jumped straight out of my chair and walked away.

……

Damn Akafuku Shoutaro, he wasted too much of my time, and now I have to hurry.

I knew that the next idea was simply one of the "biggest and most arrogant ideas in the history of Hope Peak", but I had to give it a try.

But now, even the undergraduates who entered the Hope Peak Academy have already encountered trouble.

"Hey, talk about you!" As I stepped into the new campus in the East End and stepped in front of the magnificent undergraduate building, a rude voice came from the left. The security guard, who was drinking tea in the booth at the door before, seemed to have changed a group of people at this moment, and a spirit jumped up, as if facing a great enemy.

A strong figure lunged at me. Before I realized what was happening, the figure reached out a hand, grabbed me by the collar, and pressed it against the wall.

"I've never seen you," the other person's attitude, as if he was talking to a mass of garbage, "what are you doing in here?" ”

What a ...... Brainless Violent Maniac ......

In the face of this violent maniac, I still tried to squeeze out a smile and spread my hands.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Tsuzo," I said with a smile, "I'm a freshman in the '78th class of undergrad. A super-high school hypnotist.,Ryusuke Onikawa.。 ”
