Taichi never learned precisely what went down after that, but suffice it to say, the subsequent investigation brought to light a certain conspiracy among a specific subset of the teachers. Apparently they wanted to improve the graduation rates to encourage more prospective students to enroll at Yamaboshi. This wasn’t a crime, of course, so no disciplinary action was taken against them... but naturally, the tennis club supervisor’s reputation tanked. As a result, no additional homework was assigned to the tennis club, nor any other punishment beyond a slap on the wrist.

As one might expect, the details of this incident were not openly made public to the student body at large, and yet rumors had a way of getting around regardless...

“Yaegashi-san—no, Yaegashi-sama—no, Yaegashi Almighty! Thanks a billion!” Kimura exclaimed energetically. “Seriously, how did you find out about that? I gotta know!”

“That’s... a secret. Really, it was just a coincidence.”

“No need to play it off! Man, I guess these things just happen when you’re Yaegashi-san, the star of the school...”

Just then, two first-year girls passed by in the hall.

“Yaegashi?”

“Yeah, he’s that one guy.”

“What one guy?”

“Haven’t you heard? He blew the lid on the teachers’ extra homework conspiracy in order to protect us.”

“Oh yeah, I heard about that! What a cool guy!”

Just like that, the entire school now hailed him as a hero for his courageous actions.

“Yeah... You’re awesome,” Kimura agreed.

As Taichi headed back to his classroom, someone from up ahead caught sight of him.

“Congratulations on your masterful victory. Without your help, I would’ve been a party to a horrible conspiracy,” said Fujishima Maiko.

She was, of course, the mastermind who had dragged Taichi into the debate in the first place. He’d been wondering how she felt about the results, considering she hadn’t mentioned it since.

“I have to hand it to you—you beat us fair and square. Of course, ultimately it was for the best that we lost, but...”

“No way. You guys clearly out-debated us on every point.”

“We may have won the battles, but we lost the war. And that’s what counts.”

“Classic Fujishima outlook.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Her expression was soft, with no hint of sour grapes over their loss—

“Fortunately, that war was but one small part of a larger war. And I’m winning that one.”

Her tone hardened. All at once, she exuded the posture of a warrior.

“What are you... talking about...?” Taichi had a bad feeling about this.

“There’s no way you could’ve known about a conspiracy between two faculty members... and yet somehow you did.”

“No, I—”

“Can you actually read minds?”

“Like I said, I—”

“And yet you seem entirely ignorant of my plans... Is there some sort of limit to your power? Yes, that would explain it. Otherwise you would’ve outpaced my arguments in the debate, or else revealed the tennis club supervisor’s secret much sooner. After all, it’s not in your nature to keep us in suspense.”

Right before his eyes, she was analyzing the information she had at her disposal. Searching for a solution.

“Hmmm... Does your power only trigger at random? Or does
