Chapter 34 |
Assembly
I quickly submitted the evidence in the staff room.
” ..Endō. Well, can’t we just cut them some slack…? “
“What? I think it’s for the teachers to judge and punish.”
“No, I mean, I don’t know how to say this… “
“All I do is to submit the evidence. First of all, to the teachers. If that’s not enough, then the vice principal, the principal. If that’s also not enough, I’ll go to the PTA and the school board.”
“Okay, I get it… We’ll check it out and take the appropriate punishment. It will probably be a suspension. Not expulsion. Appropriate punishment. Isn’t that right? “
“Yes, that’s right.”
I smiled back at him and he let out a big sigh.
“Can the victim hear you say that? “
” That… “
“Well then, excuse me for now. Thank you very much for your cooperation.”
I bowed to the teachers. Then I bowed again to the vice principal who was watching me.
“Thank you vice principal. I’m sure I’ll repay you for this sometime soon.”
“No, you don’t have to worry about this. But if you feel you owe me a favor, there’s a place I’m interested in. If you, the daredevil, will be there, I can go in without hesitation, even though I am a small fry.”
“Yes, I’d be happy to do that.”
“I’ll let you know when it happens.”
I bowed three times and left the staff room.
“…Akira-kun, do you have a good relationship with the teachers? “
Yui looked at me with a puzzled look, and I nodded.
“We get along very well. They are all sensible and good teachers.”
“Well said. How many of those damn teachers did Akira kick out last time? “
“Five, I think.”
“Ah, right. He got rid of a lot of them.”
“Thanks to you, all the weird teachers, they’ve all quieted down a little bit. Akira, you’re all over the place.”
“Don’t give me that kind of praise. Come on, let’s get back to class.”
” ” Yes! ” “
Taking Yui’s hand, we return safely to class, surrounded by the three handsome guys.
There, an altercation had already broken out.
“Hey! Why are you resisting? Just give her to us! “
“Why are you defending a b*tch who self-proclaims to be Kaichō’s sister? “
Few people from the other class are trying to storm into our class.
Meanwhile, students from our class are standing in their way.
“Huh?! Shut up, outsiders! It’s becoming a daily routine for me to vomit up sugar when I see you two trying to flirt with Kaichō and yell at the two of you catfighting! “
“Don’t you try to destroy my object of respect, you octopus! Stay out of this!”
I’m the object of their respect…
I don’t know if that’s real or not, but shouldn’t you keep it to yourself?
“Hey. Could you step aside, please?”
” ! Kaichō…”
“Kaichō! Yui-chan is safe and sound?”
“Ah, yeah. Let me through.”
The other class’s students in the class flinched and retreated, seeing my appearance.
As soon as I entered, I asked the other students to close and lock the door.
“Thank you everyone, for protecting Tsuyuri.”
“Onī-chan…! “
A frightened-looking Tsuyuri runs up to me and hugs me.
“Okay, that was scary, but it’s all right now.”
I comforted Tsuyuri and left her with the other girls in the class, and stood up on the podium.
I look around the classroom. Already, everyone’s eyes are changing color.
I smiled.
“Guys, first of all, I’d like to thank you. Thank you. Thanks to you I was able to protect Tsuyuri and Yui.”
I said, and each of them looked either embarrassed or proud.
“So, here’s the main issue. ――I’m sure you’re all aware by now that this morning is more than just the spread of bad rumors.”
They nodded, and I continued.
“It’s weird, really abnormal. I know you’ve all experienced it before my dear friends. Yes, we have. This is just… Someone is trying to break up our peaceful daily lives again.”
Tsuyuri says in confusion, [Again…?]. I only smiled back and continued to call out to the whole group.
“Corrupt teachers, delinquents, bullies. The essence is the same. If we don’t stop it, if we don’t root it out to its roots, we lose something forever…”
I took a beat and asked.
“Will you guys help me? “
The response was dramatic.
“Of course! “
“We’ll follow Kaichō anywhere!”
“I will never forget what you did for me! What do you want me to do? “
The whole class erupted into a roar of excitement.
Tsuyuri widened her eyes and looked around while Yui was moved to tears and nodded her head.
“Right, this is. Akira-kun is always that kind of a person.”
I gave a single clap. Then everyone became quiet.
“Thank you, everyone. Okay, I’ll explain what I’m going to ask you.”
I draw a simple diagram on the blackboard.
“There are three main things I’m going to ask you to do. One is to protect Tsuyuri and Yui in my absence. I cannot protect them when they have to change their clothes in gym class and so on. In such cases, I need all the girls to protect them.”
“I understand!”
“Okay!”
“Leave it to me!”
“Next, I want the boys to protect the girls. There is a possibility that some of them will force their way through the girls’ encirclement. I want you to stop such people by acting as a wall. If you can’t handle it, call me anytime.”
“Don’t underestimate me! “
“We’ll screw them over ourselves without Kaichō’s help!”
“You’re the reason we’ve been working out so hard!”
“Thank you. Finally, I’d like to ask the whole class to gather some information.”
I hold up my phone in front of everyone.
“You know Yoshimasa’s information-gathering group, right? I think a few of you have already joined it, but I want the whole class to join it and post any suspicious information around the school. If Yoshimasa sends you a message, please respond to it as well.”
“I’m in the group, so if you’re not in the group, let’s get together.”
One of the members raised his hand and everyone gathered there.
Seeing this, I sent a message to Yoshimasa.
[ I’ve got the whole class on my side, so they’ll join the information-gathering group. ]
[ Your charisma is working wonders for you lol ==. Well, this will shorten the collection period by one day. Thanks! ]
[ Thank you, too. Thanks for everything. ]
[ No need to say thank you to me. I’ll keep you posted as soon as I get some information together. ]
I send a stamp and end the conversation. I look over to see that the group has been assembled and the class is now seated.
I nod my head in satisfaction and call out.
“I can’t thank you all enough. Let’s get to work. We have until after school tomorrow. Then we kick on.”
The whole class shouted [Let’s go!].
