88fury. How to eradicate violence (3)
“Now you can understand my actions and words. That's right. As you can see, I am a distinguished guest of the royal family staying in the royal castle at the request of His Majesty the King. Therefore, I would like to say that such an act of insulting me is committing the same sin as insulting His Majesty, who called me to the royal capital..”
“…….”
Lloyd's sonorous voice echoed throughout the restaurant..
no one answered him.
No, I didn't dare to complain..
Lloyd's words continued in everyone's silence..
“I also heard beautiful stories about how this academy operates with the grace and support of His Majesty the King. In other words, all students here are under His Majesty's patronage. However, I never dreamed that a student receiving His Majesty's support would dare to insult a distinguished guest invited by His Majesty and dismiss the authority of the royal family as personal.?”
One side of Lloyd's lip curled up..
I glanced at the housemaster as if to say if I had anything to say in response..
The housemaster shrank his neck and asked a question..
“But, uhm, isn’t that a one-sided argument on your part??”
“It's a one-sided argument.?”
“Is there any objective evidence that our student, Diego Lacona, insulted you?.”
“Evidence. haha.”
Lloyd chuckled..
I shrugged my shoulders and asked a question..
“Of course, there are plenty of them. Don’t you know better about the evidence??”
“yes? What am I…….”
“This guy here is Julien Frontera..”
terrestrial.
Lloyd's hand stretched out..
It was placed on Julien's small shoulder..
For a moment, Julien shrugged his shoulders in shock..
But Lloyd didn't care at all..
He said while still calmly putting his arm around his shoulder and looking at the housemaster..
“Just to confirm in case you don't know, this guy is my younger brother..”
Julien flinched once again.
The housemaster's eyes also shake slightly.
Lloyd continued..
“Insulting and persecuting my younger brother in front of me is insulting to me, insulting me like that is putting a blemish on the honor of a royal guest, and belittling the honor of a royal guest is a violation of the royal family's authority. Doesn't this mean that you ignore?”
“How come…….”
“Are you trying to deny what I said??”
“…….”
The housemaster's mouth became livid again..
Lloyd's harsh words continued..
“And neither the housemaster there nor the other students behind him will deny that they know what kind of relationship this guy named Diego and my younger brother were carrying on.?”
“…….”
Everyone is silent again.
I couldn't answer quickly..
It was obvious.
It was a known fact that Julien was bullied by Diego every day..
No, it wasn't just Diego..
The same was true for other high-ranking nobles..
Everyone ignored, discriminated against, and insulted Julien..
Among those lined up behind the housemaster, there were many who had harassed Julien. They even flirted with each other by making a bet to see who could torment Julien in more novel ways..
There was only one reason for that..
It was simply because Julien came from a country baronial family. Nevertheless, his academic achievements were excellent and he received praise from his professors several times..
In other words, acting without knowing the topic was the biggest reason for bullying..
Just like that, Julien was being treated like a public property with discrimination and contempt at the academy..
‘That's why I do it, man.’
Lloyd tightened his arms..
He pressed Julien, who tried to move his arm away, with force..
I could feel his eyes glaring at me..
Why are you making such a fuss?.
What is the use of this?.
Are you planning to leave all the responsibility to yourself?.
Julien's protesting gaze was focused on the side of my face in real time..
But Lloyd ignored that look..
An attitude that tolerates and reduces unfair discrimination and violence..
This was because I was convinced that it was not a desirable response to school violence..
‘Because just holding on won’t solve anything..’
It's real.
I wasn't just talking about ideals..
Actually, really, realistically it was..
That was also a lesson Lloyd learned from his own experience of the fluorescent light incident..
‘I was scared at first too after I did it. But as time went by, I realized that wasn't the case. Things took a completely unexpected turn..’
Immediately after first beating Iljin like a blood clot with fluorescent lights and chairs..
Of course there was an uproar at school..
Parents were called and a school violence committee was held..
At first things went against him.
In fact, it could have been so.
The only thing Iljin had done wrong to him was to send him on an errand to 'buy bread' and to do a little harm to him..
But himself?
Sent the other person to the hospital.
So I got suspended..
I thought it would end like that.
But it wasn't.
‘As it turns out, that Iljin guy has done a lot of things in the meantime..’
About three days after the incident occurred, another parent in the same class called my father. And he said: He said his son had been bullied a lot by that Iljin student. But he gained courage after seeing what this side did, and he was the first to tell them about it..
That was the beginning.
There was a series of similar reports..
The karma(?) of that group has been exposed in detail..
From small items such as bags, clothes, hats, and shoes..
Broadly speaking, game consoles, cash, bicycles, cell phones, and laptops..
At least 1200,000 won.
Up to 23 million won or more.
After collecting reports, I found out that the scale of stealing and exploitation of other children was greater than I thought..
In that way, the team faced a backlash..
The parents banded together, filed a complaint, and ended up in juvenile court. Literally, the victims came together and showed that ‘life is real, just do it.’.
‘I mean. First of all, you can't take it easy when dealing with something like this. If you're already tinkering with it, you need to step it up..’
You can't just trust the school.
You have to get the law, the police, and the media on your side..
To do that, you have to do something big first..
The bigger the stakes, the more advantageous the victim becomes..
So, after calculating, I took action..
I really stepped on Diego..
Now it's time to crush the school..
“So, the housemaster, please tell me something. Are you still thinking of taking issue with my actions??”
“…….”
Lloyd tilts his head to one side.
The housemaster felt his head becoming confused..
‘I'm embarrassed.’
The housemaster's brow furrowed..
Of course, the housemaster knew that Julien was usually hit by other students..
But I turned away. didn't care.
But I wasn't particularly sorry..
This was because this phenomenon was considered a natural tradition..
‘He is the son of a baron from a rural corner..’
So, the king is also ignored by the children of high-ranking families. Sometimes they are looked down upon and even physically lynched..
But I didn't think it was wrong. Because this has been a common occurrence at the Academy for decades now. Because it’s a natural phenomenon.
I didn't even think about correcting it..
I didn't want to get involved in something like that..
It was a loss to have a relationship with the sons of high-ranking nobles. It was even more so when I remembered that there were brilliant families standing behind their backs..
So I stood by and watched..
there was no problem.
But not anymore.
If the older brother of the bullied student was a royal guest, the story would be completely different..
“You're raising an issue. You are welcome.”
The housemaster only laughed with his mouth..
I changed my attitude according to the quick calculation..
“As you know, I am the person who manages and is responsible for the dormitory here. When an unpleasant disturbance occurs in the dormitory, it is also my responsibility to verify the authenticity of the incident..”
“So what I want to say is?”
“I hope that if you get involved in a dispute in the future, you can call me instead of going to the trouble of getting involved yourself..”
“aha. We will provide you with an excellent dispute resolution tool called arbitration.?”
“I'm glad you understand what I mean..”
He was an experienced housemaster in an academy dormitory crowded with children of nobles..
Lloyd thought as he saw the housemaster's smile..
‘He's like a snake..’
Before I knew it, I secretly abandoned Diego..
Trying to secretly board this coin..
Rather, I felt that this incident was an opportunity to create a relationship with this side..
I couldn't help but laugh out loud..
Meanwhile, the housemaster, who greeted us politely, stepped away..
The students who had gathered together, whispering, dispersed..
Even then, Lloyd clearly identified and remembered each and every aspect of them..
‘I am sending you to goal. please.’
I made a promise to myself.
If I hadn't intervened, I wouldn't know, but it was already a step taken..
If you stop here clumsily, you and your family will lose prestige. I felt like if the image of a pushover was created like that, I would suffer losses for a long time in the future..
‘So I guess I should tie the knot at this point..’
Lloyd had a dark heart and had planned to group them with a set menu and kill them..
And then I looked back at Julien..
“The food has lost all taste. let's go.”
“what?”
It was Julien who was still glaring in this direction..
He was also the one whining as he tried to untie the shoulder strap he had put on..
One of his eyebrows was raised..
“Let's go. where.”
“You'll find out when you go.”
We moved with our arms around our shoulders.
I left the restaurant as if I was half-carrying Julien away or dragging him along..
I could hear whispering and murmuring from left and right in the hallway..
I just ignored it.
I ignored Julien's struggling body..
I passed through the hallway without hesitation and went to the other side of the lobby..
There was the dormitory office that I saw earlier..
It's probably similar to some kind of school administrative office..
With that in mind, I opened the door..
“I have some business to do..”
It's already been a step away.
The people in the office widen their eyes at the actions of this person who suddenly enters the office. A clerk in the office who hesitates because he can't quickly answer the question, "What's the matter?".
said the clerk.
“I would like to take a leave of absence. His name is Julien Frontera. The period is 1 year.”
Julien's eyes widened at his bombshell..
♣
“What are you doing now? it's crazy?”
In front of the main gate of Midwinter Academy.
Julien's voice in front of him became harsh..
It had to be that way..
It was absurd..
I was so shocked that I almost fainted..
“What are you doing, misbehaving in the dormitory? uh? Why on earth are you arbitrarily stopping my studies and making me take a leave of absence?.”
Something just occurred to me.
Lloyd enters the dormitory office.
I went through the formalities for my own leave of absence..
There was no way to stop him..
So he suddenly found himself in a situation where he had to stop studying at the academy for a year..
‘Nonsense!’
I was angry.
I didn't understand Lloyd's behavior..
It just felt like a very lackadaisical and irresponsible action..
‘Besides, I have no thoughts.!’
You don't know how surprised I was when they brutally assaulted Diego..
Of course, on the one hand, I felt refreshed..
It was Diego who had been tormenting him quite a bit..
The sight of that guy getting beaten up by someone definitely gave me great pleasure..
It was even thrilling when my brother took out the royal guest's badge..
‘But what is it? What's the use of feeling good for a moment??’
it's no use.
It also has no meaning.
The refreshing pleasure is only temporary.
from now on?
After Lloyd leaves?
If only I remained here?
He will have to bear the repercussions of Lloyd's actions on his own. There will definitely be retaliation. There will be several times more harassment than before..
Even if my brother showed signs of being a royal guest,?
There will be no significant change in reality..
‘Because I can bully them so they don’t get caught..’
From the perspective of other noble children, there are plenty of ways to harass just one person without getting caught..
Thinking about that already made me feel dizzy..
I didn't even have the confidence to handle it..
But Lloyd wasn't enough and even arbitrarily took a leave of absence from the academy.!
“say it. Are you really telling me to run away? ok? My brother was responsible for the accident. You didn't have the confidence to take responsibility for that, so you just pulled me out of the academy? uh?”
I didn't like that.
Even though it was painful, I wanted to stay at the academy..
No matter how difficult or angry I was, I wanted to keep studying..
Because he thought that was the only way he could help his family..
‘If I don't study, my family will definitely be ruined. Because that thoughtless son of a bitch is going to ruin the whole family..’
I'll have to deal with that for the rest of my life..
To do that, you need to build up knowledge and make connections..
It was Julien who had already made up his mind to do so..
But they forced me to take a leave of absence out of nowhere..
I was so angry.
I felt like it was just an attempt to trample on the resolve I had in mind..
Maybe that was why.
A bitter smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..
“under. Do you think I'm doing this without any calculation?.”
“……what?”
Isn't it obvious??
Julien wanted to respond like that..
However, Lloyd's following declaration reached my ears first..
“First, you need to clear up some misunderstandings and train hard..”
“What now... … misunderstanding? training?”
“uh.”
“What am I misunderstanding?.”
“First of all, I act recklessly. Two, if you get trained, you will be able to deal with those guys like Diego or something like that..”
“…….”
Julien swallowed the reply he was about to make..
Lloyd suddenly looks back and says.
The look in his eyes looked so serious..
There was no playfulness, deception or flirtation to be found..
It was a little unexpected.
It was the first time I saw your eyes.
Maybe it was because I was unknowingly persuaded by those eyes..
Or, it may have been because he was tempted to hear that he would be able to deal with Diego well..
“All you have to do is train it... … What kind of training? where? Something like swordsmanship?”
Julien mumbled and asked back without realizing it..
Lloyd's lips twitched and an unknown smile appeared..
I brought out a secret plan to strengthen my weak younger brother's body and mind..
“What kind of training is it? On the construction site. It's a shovel.”
Just like that, Julien Fronte, a delicate and bright handsome boy, suddenly became involved in a suspension bridge construction project that he had never seen before, as a laborer..
