Before Mari could come to a decision, however, another face popped up in the bus. With a shirt soaked with his sweat and a child-dummy in his arms, Shun had finally arrived inside, just in time to catch both the tanned girl and the musclebound man. Those bright eyes narrowed slightly at his approach, flickering back to the students at the exterior of the bus, before the large man’s hand immediately wrapped around the throat of one of the dummies.

[b]“Well then, one can keep a secret, but two…”[/b] He spoke softly, a nonchalant smile creasing his features. [b]“Guess that’s a bit too much to expect. Listen up you two, ok? You aren’t going to say a word to this to those heroes outside. You’re going to leave this bus and tell them to all leave and if you don’t I’ll snap this fellow’s neck.”[/b]

The Mastermind paused, then a shrug.

[b]“Of course, if you got everyone here to rush me down, you could probably stop me, but, well…would be a pretty big splotch on your record if the people you’ve saved ended up dead anyways, right?”[/b]

The woman was clearly taken aback by this. Did the explosions and screams ruin this child’s sense of hearing? She knew it. Should have told the Principal to dial it down on the theatrics. But even excluding one’s sense of hearing, didn’t it make sense that this outfit wasn’t normal? That no normal human would just wander into an area of the outskirts that was actively being used as Jigokuraku Academy’s testing field? That, with the whole ‘villains are also in the exam’, it was right to at least be cautious about this?

Or maybe she was using too many big words and the masked guitarist simply didn’t understand her. Not that she was ever going to repeat that shit a second time to the same person. But at the same time, she had to stick with the role, and really, if she didn’t have to hit anyone to make them stay still, that would be optimal, right?

So instead, she doubled down on the ham and the cheese.
