Book 14: Chapter 2: The Curtain Rises on the Uninhabited Island Exam, Part 2
“Yoo~hoo~ Ayanokōji-kun!”
I arrived at the C6 Task site after about 40 minutes of walking, only to find Class 2-C’s homeroom teacher, Hoshinomiya-sensei, lying in wait inside a tent in an attempt to escape the scorching heat of the sun.
Furthermore, nearly 20 students from all three school years could be seen in the surrounding area.
“You came all the way here, but unfortunately, registration closed up about five minutes ago.”
Other than Hoshinomiya-sensei, there was a second adult who I had never seen before in the process of explaining the Task to the gathered students.
“So it seems.”
With that being the case, there was no point in me staying here any longer. I tried to leave, not really wanting to be around Hoshinomiya-sensei any more than necessary, but she grabbed me by the arm just as I turned to go.
“Oh don’t be in such a hurry! Feel free to sit back and watch for a while~.”
“Don’t you think it’s wrong for a teacher to encroach on a student’s time just for their own convenience?”
