After Katsuragi and the others left with the teacher, Kamuro quickly took out her phone and reported the situation to Sakayanagi.
"This is really a big gift, Kamuro, thank Kanda for me."
The joyful voice on the other end of the phone made Kamuro certain that Kanda was faking it.
But it was too natural, wasn't it?
When most people fall, they instinctively use their arms to protect themselves, but Kanda just went limp and fell naturally, without any sign of acting.
So at first, she was stunned. If she hadn't seen that Totsuka Yahiko didn't actually touch him, she might have run over in a panic.
Damn Kushida Kikyo, doing what I wanted to do!
On the other side, the librarian, Hiraizawa Naotsugu-sensei, quickly took the students involved to the monitoring room to find out what happened.
The library's monitoring room is next to Hiraizawa-sensei's office, so he didn't need any special permission and took everyone inside.
"When did this happen?"
"From the time it happened until now, it should be about ten minutes ago."
Katsuragi answered immediately, making Horikita Suzune frown as she was still thinking.
Hearing this, Hiraizawa-sensei quickly retrieved the files and pulled up the surveillance footage from that time.
Suddenly, a screen showed several split screens, honestly displaying what was happening in almost every corner of the library.
"Found it."
Hiraizawa-sensei immediately pressed the pause button.
"Where?"
Ayanokouji stepped forward and pointed to the second-to-last split screen on the right: "This one."
Following Ayanokouji's finger, they saw everyone under the surveillance camera.
But Hiraizawa-sensei didn't zoom in immediately. Instead, he checked the other split screens first.
Surveillance cameras can only record what they see from one angle, and often things can only be fully understood from different angles.
Unfortunately, the library's location was quite secluded, and besides this camera, no other cameras captured this area.
Normally, this wouldn't happen, but the library hadn't had any incidents for many years. Even troublemakers wouldn't come here, so it was overlooked, and now this happened.
Seeing this, Katsuragi's face didn't look good because with only one camera, it might not clear Yahiko's suspicion.
From the surveillance footage, there were three groups of people: Horikita Suzune's group at one table, Katsuragi and Totsuka Yahiko at another, and Kanda Shuichi and Kamuro at another.
The incident started when Sudou grabbed Horikita Suzune's collar, then their mouths moved, and Totsuka Yahiko stood up from his table.
After Totsuka Yahiko said something, Kanda Shuichi also stood up from his table, then as if remembering the pencil case, the next second, the pencil case flew towards Totsuka Yahiko's head.
Then Katsuragi blocked the flying pencil case, and Kanda Shuichi stood up and walked towards Totsuka Yahiko.
Totsuka Yahiko, looking angry, quickly stepped forward and reached out his hand towards Kanda Shuichi.
But here's the problem!
From the camera's angle, Totsuka Yahiko's outstretched hand was blocked by Kanda Shuichi's body, entering the camera's blind spot, so no one could tell if he actually touched Kanda Shuichi.
Then Kanda Shuichi's head tilted slightly upward, he took a small step back, and then fell to the ground.
It's over!
Katsuragi immediately concluded that no matter who watched this video, the result would be the same: Totsuka Yahiko reached out and hit Kanda Shuichi, causing Kanda Shuichi to fall unconscious.
This is bad, it's like mud falling into your pants.
"You are not my students, so I won't judge you. But I will hand this matter and this video to the student council. The student council president will decide."
Decide my foot. Even Katsuragi, who is usually calm, cursed in his heart.
"Sorry for the trouble, sensei."
On the other side, Sudou carrying Kanda Shuichi to the school hospital scared the nurse on duty. A student getting hurt is no small matter. If it's serious, the school might face questions from the public.
So even though the school has less than 1500 people, the school hospital is set up to very high standards.
When Sudou arrived at the hospital with the unconscious Kanda Shuichi, a nurse immediately called a doctor to ask about the situation.
After examining Kanda Shuichi, the doctors came to a conclusion.
The patient's body is weak, and the reason for the fainting might be a concussion from hitting his head when he fell.
There's no other problem with his body except being weak, so they had to blame it on the head.
Otherwise, if they couldn't find a problem, it would make the doctors look incompetent, and they wouldn't get their bonuses. And this person looks weak and got punched, so it must be a mild concussion.
At this time, Kanda Shuichi was indeed asleep. According to Sudou and Kushida, Kanda Shuichi might have woken up for a moment on the way but soon lost consciousness again.
His pupil reaction matched the state of sleep, but considering a possible head injury, they decided to let him rest more.
While Kanda Shuichi was sleeping, Kushida Kikyo stayed by his bedside. Soon, Miyake Akito and Hirata Yosuke arrived at the hospital, slightly out of breath.
"How is he, Kushida?"
"Don't worry, Miyake. Kanda is resting now. The doctor said he might have hit his head when he fell, causing a mild concussion. Sudou just went back."
Hearing this, Miyake sighed in relief. A mild concussion is not too bad. With good rest, he will be fine.
"That's good, that's good."
Hirata also sighed in relief. When he heard that Kanda Shuichi was knocked out, he dropped his phone in shock, scaring the people around him.
"Kushida, let me help take care of Kanda."
"No, Hirata, you have important things to do, right? So please leave the care to me."
Kushida gently refused Hirata.
Seeing Hirata still unwilling to give up, Miyake decided it was time to step in.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Kushida. Do you need any help from us?"
Hearing Miyake's words, Kushida thought for a moment and made a request.
"Please help me return the books in the library."
"No problem! If Shuichi wakes up, please let me know immediately."
Miyake agreed quickly and left with Hirata.
Looking at Kanda Shuichi lying on the hospital bed, Kushida smiled again. How could I let you, Hirata, take this chance to gain favor with all the students?
Because the hospital's temperature was so comfortable, Kanda Shuichi slept until the afternoon. When he woke up, he didn't open his eyes right away but first thought about what had happened before. This was his usual habit.
After sorting out the events, Kanda Shuichi slowly opened his eyes. Smelling the familiar scent of disinfectant, he knew where he was.
Back in the hospital after a month, how strange.
Opening his eyes, Kanda Shuichi looked around and saw a beautiful girl with short blonde hair dozing off beside his bed.
"Kushida?"
Kanda Shuichi's soft call woke up Kushida Kikyo, who was dozing off beside him. She looked at him excitedly.
"Kanda, you're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"My head is still a bit dizzy."
Kanda Shuichi cooperatively reached out his right hand to hold his head, pretending to massage it.
"Dizzy? Wait a moment, I'll call the doctor."
Saying this, Kushida got up and left the ward.
