Chapter 2216: New Problem Student



Ryouko-san and I immediately got to work. We only had a few minutes, after all. I still needed to interview the club presidents, and she had to return to supervise the Basketball Club.

Despite the lingering tension between us, we naturally fell into a professional rhythm as we discussed the next student they wanted me to "correct."

Yep, That's the word Ryouko-san used.

Furthermore, she emphasized something else.

"Ruki-kun, I don't want you to get too involved with this student."

"Are you worried I'll be influenced by them?"

"It's not that... Because they're not the type who will take your consideration kindly."

I nodded, listening carefully to Ryouko-san's warning. Her expression had shifted slightly, a seriousness replacing the usual warmth in her eyes.

For her to warn me like this despite already knowing my character, that student must be one hell of a troublemaker.

I tried flipping the pages of the 'problem student folder', checking them out one by one. And my hand stopped at the page where Ryouko-san's description matched.

I then lifted my head and asked, "What makes them so different?"

Ryouko-san crossed her arms, her gaze briefly drifting toward the window before returning to me. "This one has a history of being... difficult. They've resisted any kind of intervention so far. Teachers, counselors-even the principal have had little success."

"Even the principal? What about the Director?"

"Oh. She locked this student in the infirmary once. She jumped out of the window."

My lips twitched. Although the infirmary was only on the second floor, who would be reckless enough to jump from it?

No wonder the windows in it were now closed shut and only Hayashi-sensei could open them.

I was about to ask for more clarifications but the door to the office swung open. Led by Komoe, some of the club presidents who sent a request for inspection arrived, looking a bit anxious.

I quickly refocused, remembering the task at hand.

"Well, I guess we'll put a pin in that for now, Ryouko-san," I said, standing up to greet the student while adjusting the armband on my right sleeve. "I'll deal with the club situation first, but I'll keep your warning in mind."

"Please do. Just be careful, Ruki-kun." She replied in a softer tone.

With a brief nod and a reassuring smile, I escorted Ryouko-san to the door before turning my attention fully to the club presidents who were already guided by Komoe in their seats, ready to address the mysterious incidents plaguing their clubs.

As I closed the door after Ryouko-san left, I turned around, putting my full attention to the club presidents seated in front of me.

Expectedly, there's someone familiar among them. I've seen the names of the clubs, after all.

Photography Club, Drama Club, Science Club and Kendo Club.

I smiled and nodded at the presidents of the Photography and Drama Club, trying to ease their anxiousness.

I already interacted with both of them, after all.

On the other hand, the Science and Kendo Club president was someone who I'd be interacting

with first.

It's also quite a coincidence that they're split by gender. 2 girls and 2 boys.

That clearly shows how indifferent I am to knowing the boys in this school.

In any case, the most anxious-looking was the guy from Science Club. It was as if he wasn't used to going out of his lab. He's fidgeting crazily. On the other hand, the Kendo Club president was quite skinny for a Kendo Club president, but like I said, despite his sharp gaze I could sense his anxiety. As if the incident plaguing his club was taking a toll on him.

Komoe, standing by the door, had her usual chipper expression. She's really happy to help. And she's already prepared to take notes and assist me with this.

"Alright, thank you all for coming," I began, resting my hands on the desk. "We've received your requests regarding the missing or misplaced equipment. I want to get a better sense of what's been happening, so I'll ask each of you to describe what's been going on in your clubs. Is that possible?"
