Monokuma spoke as if he was about to leave.
"Of course, you can leave now, I'll take care of the rest."
"Kansaki Teru! You...!"
However, before Ōwada Mondo could finish speaking, everyone froze in place.
Because just as Monokuma was about to jump into the trap, Kanzaki Teru disappeared from the spot.
They grabbed the black and white bear by the head and slammed it to the ground.
A huge crater appeared in the ground instantly.
"However, it would be better for you to go to the Western Paradise."
Chilling to the bone, Kanzaki Teru's voice was like a cold wind blowing through the hearts of everyone present.
His previously kind and gentle demeanor had vanished without a trace, replaced by an indescribable coldness.
"That was really rough! But considering the system malfunction just now, I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."
Just as everyone was stunned, Monokuma's image reappeared on a screen in the room.
At this point, they also realized that this method would not solve the problem.
"Then I thank the Dean for his gift."
As he spoke, Kanzaki Teru picked up the weapons scattered on the ground again and instantly destroyed all the surveillance cameras in the room.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
"I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"what is the problem?"
Seeing Kanzaki Hikaru's actions, everyone was stunned. At this moment, they realized even more the weight of this person's identity as the "Ultimate Assassin".
However, with such skills, no one present would doubt that he was a warrior.
What year is it this year?
"If I remember correctly... it should be 15... Why are you asking this? Don't you know?"
Hearing this question, Asahina Aoi was also somewhat puzzled.
After all, in their eyes, such questions shouldn't even need to be asked, but that's not the case for Kanzaki Teru.
After all, Kanzaki Teru was an outsider and didn't know what kind of world this was made of.
That's why they asked such a question, and it's not just for that one reason.
"What about you?"
"us?"
"Do you also remember 15 years as a period of time?"
"Of course, is there even a need to ask that question?"
"You should have just started school, right? In that case, you should only be in your first year of high school."
"That's right, so what!?"
After hearing the other party's answer, Kanzaki Teru was certain of his guess.
"You should be around eighteen years old now, not fifteen."
"what!?"
Almost everyone expressed their confusion in unison, as Kanzaki Teru's words were completely baffling.
"Didn't I just say that?! I'm a freshman!"
Seeing her excited expression, it was Togami Byakuya who first understood my situation.
"You mean... all our memories from these past three years have been erased?"
"That's right, that's what I mean. Putting aside how the other party did it, a person's skeleton grows very rapidly before the age of twenty."
The skeletons are different almost every year. I also investigated Sayaka Waltz's body before and found that she was already eighteen years old.
However, I didn't pay much attention to that at the time, after all...
It's very common for idols to lie about their age, since in this industry, being over twenty is considered old lady.
The age limit for any idol agency is only twenty years old, so it is common for people to lie about their age.
But thinking about this, Kanzaki Teru felt that this was not something he should say to everyone, so he swallowed it back.
Chapter 358: Erasing Memories
"You actually investigated something like this...?"
"Liar! How could this be!"
The one who reacted the most was probably Yamada Hifumi, whom Kanzaki Teru had never paid much attention to before.
Seeing his reaction, Kanzaki Teru had a vague feeling that he might be an idol otaku.
However, besides him, even Kyoko Kirigiri was staring at Teru Kanzaki with a strange look at this moment.
"But then I discovered something suspicious about the problem."
While saying this, Kanzaki Teru's hands never stopped moving.
He is currently disassembling Monokuma to see what its structure is, or to see if he can find any useful clues.
"I've noticed that it's not just Sayaka Waltz; your figures and physiques all seem to be inconsistent with your age."
After looking around at everyone here, I first ruled out the most special one, Oogami Sakura.
After all, this person's muscles were comparable to those of an adult, and when Kanzaki Teru first saw her, he didn't even think she was a high school student.
"After that, I observed you all carefully. Although it was just a general guess, you were all definitely over fifteen years old."
"How is this possible!"
"However, that is the truth."
Although some people still cannot accept the status quo, Kanzaki Teru always spoke in a calm and somewhat cold tone.
"So, will you accept this?"
He casually tossed a disassembled part into Togami Byakuya's hand, and the latter examined it carefully.
Could it really be true?
When he saw the part, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
After all, this whole thing was just too incredible from beginning to end; even he probably never imagined such a possibility.
"What's on this? It's just a broken part."
However, the others did not understand what Kanzaki Teru meant by throwing this part over, and they all stared at Togami Byakuya with puzzled eyes.
"Did you see this number? GBX5465-02017."
Pointing to a line of numbers above, Togami Byakuya showed it to everyone.
“Could it be—!”
Upon seeing this line of numbers, both Kyoko Kirigiri and Celestia realized what was happening.
Even the usually composed women could no longer maintain their composure, as the stark reality was laid bare before them.
"What's wrong! What does that mean!?"
However, some people were still clueless and kept asking them what it meant.
"The last number, 02017, is the year this part was manufactured."
In other words, this part should not be produced for another two years, as we understand it.
"So... what does this mean!?"
"In other words... our memories have been erased."
A deathly silence fell. When Togami Byakuya uttered those words, everyone present was utterly shocked.
They might even forget to breathe; everyone remained silent in such circumstances.
Or rather, everyone is pondering the meaning of this sentence. Although it is just a simple sentence, it contains a great deal of information.
"Does that mean we've known each other for a long time?"
To Kanzaki Teru's surprise, it was Asahina Aoi who was the first to break the silence.
Although I didn't expect it, it's also quite reasonable.
After all, she was kinder than anyone else, and her care and love for others far exceeded that of others.
Faced with such an absurd reality, her first thought was still about the relationships between everyone.
"Where is your last memory?"
"Enter the school—"
"Enter the school—"
......
Everyone's answers were surprisingly consistent. If this memory wasn't fabricated, then they were indeed very likely classmates who had lived together for three years.
It was these former friends who, at this moment, began a chilling killing game.
"You don't need to worry about this for now. After all, if the other party has the ability to erase memories, they might also have the ability to tamper with memories."
This wasn't just something he said to everyone else; it was also a way for Kanzaki Teru to comfort himself.
"No matter what happened in the past, isn't it enough that we're still alive now?"
"But...but...it's bitter!"
Her voice became somewhat choked up; the fact that her classmates were killing each other was a heavy blow to Asahina Aoi's heart.
After all, she was the gentlest person among them, so it was only natural for her to have such thoughts.
