Chapter 6: Showdown

Taichi had split away from the group, so when he heard Katori’s announcement, he ran straight for the gym. But when he didn’t see anyone else from the CRC there, he turned back and headed for the clubroom. There, he found three people: Inaba, Chihiro, and Enjouji.

“You’re late! Didn’t I tell everyone to meet up in front of the Rec Hall?!” Inaba raged.

“Well, Katori wants us in the gym, so I’d figured we’d all meet up there.”

“No word from Iori, Yui, or Aoki... Tsk! Well, how’d it go? Any luck?”

“Well, their reaction was definitely different this time around, but as you might expect, no one was outright eager to join our side. As it stands, Watase and Ishikawa are the only people who’ve explicitly told me they’ll trust us.”

“Th-That’s still an incredible accomplishment on its own!” Enjouji exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.

“Then I tried to bribe Sone and Miyagami by saying I’d teach them how to get a girlfriend, but they both got so offended, they nearly punched my lights out.”

“And you would have deserved it,” Chihiro remarked, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

In the end, it took a fair few minutes to get the whole club together, so they were late to arrive at the gym. By then, almost everyone else was already there.

That said, the crowd looked a great deal smaller compared to the initial 100-plus headcount. Taichi estimated it was about the same size as the audience they’d spoken to on the one occasion they’d gone onstage — approximately 80 students, including the student council and the CRC themselves.

As he looked around the room, he spotted students that had previously never bothered to show up. According to Katori, this was the last assembly he would need to call for... because they were going to escape. And since that was such an appealing prospect, chances were good that the entire population of the Isolation Zone was currently present.

Considering they’d started with 118, this would mean they’d lost... more than 30 students?

The students were gathered at the far end of the room. On the other side of the crowd was the student council and outreach committee... and yet Katori Jouji was nowhere to be seen. Where was he?

In just a few moments, though, Taichi felt a strange fervor spread through in the air. Everyone was looking up at the stage and yearning for something with all their hearts.

«The Third»’s group was conducting an experiment to observe changes in the human heart. Here in this petri dish, emotions of every stripe arose and vanished — emotions that would normally never occur back in the real world. Some of these feelings were positive, while others were negative. So how would one describe the feeling currently dominating the room?

It was so intense, Taichi could practically see the whirlpool of emotions threatening to consume everyone in the vicinity.

Then one person appeared, summoning the entire whirlpool to him. He had style, poise, and a handsome face... and when he stood above the rest, it gave him a natural sense of authority.
