CH 60

In a corner of the residential area, there is a commotion in front of the cafeteria where the students of Class 1-16 have set up a store.

“Really?　Kurumi is happy to be expelled!”

“It seems like she always wanted to go to the special training class!”

“Are you insane?　Why did you go to that hellhole, ……?”

Everyone in the room looks at each other in disbelief.

But the two girls who happened to be there are different.

The saint and Miko, who are more beloved than anyone else in this school, are the only two who are frozen in place as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

Both of them have a look on their faces that says, “That’s the way to do it?”

Yes, the girl who yearns for hell is not alone. ……!

“Chef Leopin!　I’m coming ……!”

Kurumi, who have been sentenced to banishment, looks completely refreshed and tries to run away from the scene.

But the vice principal, who has turned into a monster bird, blocked her way with both hands flapping like wings.

“Ki Kiekiekiekie! Kieeeee!! I rescind the order I just gave you!　”Expulsion” is revoked! Kurumi-san will remain in Class 1-16! Everything I said is not true…!”

Then, the remaining Kurumi ticket disappears in a fizz from the end of his flapping hand.

The vice principal says, “Gah!” and jump up as if he has been shot out of a gun.

“No!　It’s not an order, sir!　I’m just rescinding the order I gave earlier!”

But no matter how much he appeals, there was no way he could get his tickets back.

“I was going to use the other ticket I have left and reorder you to never go near that trash again!? KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

The head teacher, whose backup plan is crushed, grabs the shelf where the “RPG Candy” is placed with a gulp, wondering what he is thinking.

“Keeeee!　Just as I had suspected, Kurumi-san was a bad student! She’s selling evil candies and influencing the other students! I’m going to mess her up right here and now!”

Kurumi stops.

“Hey! Don’t do that vice principal!”

“No!　Shut up!　I hate bad students!　I’m going over there!”

“Kya!?”

Kurumi is violently pushed, but is caught by the strong arms of a certain female student.

Continuing on, the vice principal is grabbed by the collar like a cat and is lifted into the air.

She holds Kurumi in one hand and hoists the vice principal up with the other.

There is only one female student who could do such a feat.

The vice-principal’s eyes peel back as he flaps his legs.

“To- Tomoe!? Instead of helping the delinquent student, I can’t believe you would use violence against a Teacher!?”

Tomoe glances at the vice principal with a quiet glint in her eye.

“This is what violence means!　…… Hmph!”

Tomoe throws away the vice principal he is holding with a rough snort.

The vice principal looks at Tomoe as if he is a child who has been beaten by his parents for the first time.

“No!? You’re Kotone’s attendant, what are you doing?”

“That’s what I’m talking about!　The way the vice principal is acting now, I don’t think he’s an educator! I can’t stand the sight of you now. …… Go away before you embarrass yourself even more! If you don’t, I will smash your skull open with my rock-cutting sword and bring you back to your senses by force!”

The vice principal backs away from the students, “Hyee!”

But as they giggle, he wields his bravery.

From the inside pocket of his dusty tuxedo, he grabs a ticket and throws it into the air.

On the front of the ticket is a picture of the members of Class 15, a class of troubled children.

“Yes!　The three Pila brothers!　Boodle-kun!　I’m coming out! I’m going to punish Tomoe for hurting me!”

As the tickets fizzle out, four men appear through the crowd.

Dressed as barbarian bandits, they are wearing neck bands around their necks and bandages on their hands.

They look very painful, but they are more brave than the vice principal.

“Hyah!　I didn’t think I’d be able to use violence with the approval of the vice principal!”

“This woman used to have a problem with us!”

“Just because she’s a woman doesn’t mean she can’t hurt us!　I’m not gonna let her get away with it!”

“Hunting female bears can be quite fun. ……!”

The gangsters completely turn into the head teacher’s minions and immediately surround Tomoe.

Tomoe does not move from the spot and looks around at the hoodlums with a stern gaze.

“I’m not going to be the one to dust off the fire.”

“Ha-ha-ha-ha!　It’s too late to ask for forgiveness now!! It’s too late to be embarrassed in front of all these people. ……”

“I’ll crush every spark of fire that comes my way. ……!”

Tomoe finally draws her sword.

… Shuran!

Her power is so strong that even the hoodlums aare scared to death.

The vice principal thought it was a bad idea and started to take out new tickets as if it were a card game.

“At this moment, I’m activating Tomoe’s ticket!”

Tomoe is astonished by the unexpected counter-attack, “That can’t be ……!”

“Yes, that’s right!　It’s the ticket Tomoe paid for when she bought the wooden sword at the store! The order is to you, Tomoe, not to fight back!　You’ll be sorry for the mess you’ve made!”

Monaka and Kotone are the first to try to run in, but they are held back by the other attendants.

“Please stop, vice principal! “Stop it, Tomoe!”

Their pleas are drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

Tomoe quietly kneels down and sits on the ground with her knees together.

She places her beloved sword beside her and slowly closes her eyes.

“The most important thing for a warrior is the life of his lord. And the next most important thing is the pact with others. I’ll fulfill my pact with the vice principal right here and now. …… Do as you please.”

“Mu-ho-ho-ho! I know it sounds tricky, but you can’t fight the power of the ticket! You can’t resist the power of the ticket!　I’m not afraid of you because you’re not resisting!”

As soon as the vice principal realizes that Tomoe was not going to fight back, he takes the initiative and attacks her.

The goons follow suit.

“I’m not afraid!　I can do whatever I want!”

“Stop it ……!

The screams of the two girls ring out.

Not only the girls, but all of their classmates shrink back.　

When they opened their eyes fearfully, they found …….

…… Dogwa …… Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The five goons are blown away as if they are being erased by a full horizontal swing.

They plunged headfirst into a pile of garbage that had been temporarily used as a waste disposal site.

“Fugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?!”

The impact causes the pile of scrap wood to rattle and collapse, burying them alive with a scream.

It is a tragic scene, but none of the classmates can see the hoodlums anymore.

Who in the world did this ……!

I look at the person who is casually walking away.

I know it is him,…….

“Le- Leopin!!?!”

Leopin is turning his back on his classmates with logs on his shoulders.

However, he reacts to the call and turns around, “What?” 

The boy looks around at his stunned classmates and those buried with only their legs sticking out with a mocking expression.

“Ah, sorry, sorry. I thought I hit something, but it was a thug. It seems that there is one new addition to the group. …… Well, it’s a thug, isn’t it?”
