"?!"
As soon as the light went out, I heard a murmur throughout the venue.
The gazes of the nearly 1,000 people in the surrounding stands were directed towards me, and immediately afterwards most of them blocked their gazes or averted them of their own volition.
His childhood friend who will likely be in the audience... will probably be watching closely.
The other nine people on the stage with me were moving so much that I could tell they were upset even through their hoods.
Among them was the red-haired girl, her face slightly flushed visible under her hood.
The teachers... looked stunned, their mouths hanging open.
So, why are you reacting like that?
I followed the teacher's instructions and turned on the device without fail.
Given the nature of Masquerade, it seemed odd that it would cause such a stir no matter what form it took.
So I check as much of myself as I can.
"Hmm, hmm?"
First, extend your hands out in front of you.
A clean, well-maintained human hand, without a single blemish or blemish.
In other words, there's nothing strange.
The voice... sounds a little strange.
It feels a little higher key than usual.
Your eye level hasn't changed, so your height hasn't changed.
I don't feel anything obstructing my mouth or view.
"My body feels light. No, it feels strange."
Trying a light jump, I was able to easily jump to the same height as if I were jumping at full force before activating Masquerade.
However, something just feels off.
The center of gravity is strange, and there is a movement that seems to follow the jump.
So I turned my attention to the source of the discomfort...
"Wow, it's huge..."
Seeing how big it was, you couldn't even see your feet by moving your neck, I couldn't help but mutter.
Yes, there are breasts.
It's a great size, with plenty of firmness and elasticity, yet softness at the same time.
And now, having come this far, I finally understood the reactions of those around me.
yes.
Right now, I'm not wearing anything, neither a top nor a bottom, in fact, I'm completely naked.
I came to realise this fact.
"Hide, hide!"
"Stop the camera! This is a broadcast accident!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!"
"Someone bring me some cloth! Quickly!!"
"No, more importantly..."
Yeah, I see.
Even an idiot like me knows about the crime of displaying obscene materials, and I can understand that it's generally not a good thing to have a nearly adult woman naked exposed in a public place like this.
However, I was just doing what the teacher told me to do, so this was more of an accident.
I've also heard that things should be exposed as they are, whatever the outcome.
These are indisputable facts.
So, even if I exposed myself naked, I wouldn't be charged with a crime.
In the first place, what I look like now isn't my real naked self.
"Well, you know what you need to do."
At this point, a girl with shiny, metallic hair like iron came running up to me from offstage and called out to me.
The way she looks at me... she seems a little unsure about where to look.
But what needs to be done, what needs to be done...
I hear this is the place for the unveiling.
Although I could hear the teachers telling the cameras to stop, I didn't hear any telling them to cancel the unveiling.
What happened to me was an accident and I have nothing to be ashamed of.
And if my current appearance was as I thought it would be, then there shouldn't be a single part of me that I should feel ashamed of not being able to show.
And, it was because I was right that the girl in front of me was unsure of where to look, and the people around me were probably feeling more embarrassed than shaken.
If that's the case, there's only one thing to do here.
"I just want to show off my beautiful body to the audience!"
I spread my legs a little wider, placed my left hand on my hip and my right hand stretched straight out in front of me, and with my chest out, I made the bold declaration without showing any sign of embarrassment.
"I'm telling you to turn off your masquerade, you slut!!"
Immediately after.
A giant metal cage appeared from the hand of the girl in front of me.
It was thrown with such force that it made a clean hit on my head... after which, the cage moved skillfully as if it was alive, swallowed me up, and trapped me inside.
I don't understand.
"Sorry, Disciplinary Committee Chairperson. I was late in responding."
"That's fine. It's an unexpected direction, but that's my job. I'm going to take this slut to the interrogation room, so teachers, please resume your unveiling once things have calmed down."
"Oh, I understand. Thank you for your quick response."
Before I knew it, a metal shutter had been lowered over the gap in the cage, and the only information coming in from my surroundings was sound.
Eventually the cage begins to move, moving away somewhere accompanied by the sound of it scraping against the ground and regular shaking.
It feels like I can hear the voice of my childhood friend from far away.
Hmm, how did it end up like this?
I don't think I've done anything wrong or bad, but... I really don't understand.
However, the fact that the disciplinary committee chairman came out and arrested me meant that there was definitely some kind of flaw on my part.
....
Since there was nothing I could do, I decided to reflect on what had happened so far today.
Yeah, about three hours ago.
Let's look back from the moment I came from the countryside with my childhood friend to enroll in the National Duel Academy and stood in front of the school gates.
