*Derrick watches*

He flips to the next page, telling him to look at it through a microscope. He leans into the microscope on the table, adjusting it to see into it well after turning it on. A clear message can be seen: BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, NERD! Haruka, confused by this, turns this to a higher magnification. Suddenly, the microscope malfunctions. The glass of the lens breaks, and he is looking into pure light. His eyes begin to burn a bit, so he groans. He stumbles around a bit, before knocking into a water fountain to clean out his eyes. He uses it without a doubt in his mind, and he opens his eyes, preparing for the water.

(BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME NERD same?????)

"..."
Atsuya, foreseeing the outcome, turns away.

*Leona laughs*
"Isnt this great!"

*Derrick continues watching*

*Dahlia starts to cry*

Suddenly, as he pushes the button, acid sprays in his face. He cries out for help, yet his hand seems to not be able to move from the control mechanism for the water fountain. It turns out he forgot to wear gloves. The mixture of chemicals met his skin, paralyzing him in that exact moment. He reaches to the counter with his other hand, not able to see anything. He tries to grab whatever it is, but it falls to the ground and shatters. He continues to spray acid on his own face, until he can feel no more.

Barbie claps.
"Excellent! The party will live on! You may now go back upstairs!"

Akiko, visibly shaken, rushes upstairs.

*Derrick heads back upstairs*

*Dahlia runs upstairs crying*

*Ken is...being Ken doing some shit and preparing*

*Leona cackles and she walks back up stairs*

"..."
Atsuya lingers in the trial room for a bit.

(flashback to liliya watching kyoudo's dead body)

As the students file upstairs, Barbie turns to Ken.
"Looks like everything is working out just fine. Ahahahaha!"
