Chapter 51: Snap
(3rd pov)
The school ended just a few minutes ago, so everyone was still in the classroom witnessing Ryoma annoying Ryoto. Some students wanted nothing to do with this, and others wanted to interfere as Terasaka started laughing, but Ryoto, a target, changed his expression from indifferent to emotionless. The defense was subtle, but more observant students noticed it.
The air around Ryoto changed, becoming cold, saying that you'll get hurt if you go near him.
As Ryoma was laughing together with Takuya and Taisei, Ryoto got up and slowly headed towards their group. He stopped in front of Ryoma, 'looking' him in the eyes. They were the same height, 180 cm.
Ryoma: "What do you want!?"
Ryoma didn't back of even if he is usually the taller one. He thought that he still had an advantage. After all, there are three on his side, and Ryoto is alone, plus Ryoma is bulkier than the one in front of him. Clothes can hide muscles quite well.
Ryoto didn't answer him. Instead, he reached to Ryoma's uniform collar with one hand, lifted him up, and slammed against the wall.
Ryoma: "Guagh!!"
It caught everyone's attention, even those who wanted to ignore the conflict. It also worried them. No one knew Ryoto's personality. He could very well be a violent person, and if he is, Ryoma is in trouble.
Ryoto could easily break the wall with Ryoma's body, but he held back significantly. It didn't even look like he struggled with having 77 kg Ryoma up in the air. He looked extremely calm, terrifyingly so.
Ryoma tried to break free from Ryoto's grasp, but he was unsuccessful. Even while using both of his hands. Takuya and Taisei wanted to help him, but Ryoto was unmoving. He just stood there 'looking' at Ryoma while lifting him up by the uniform shirt.
Megu: "Somone call the teacher!"
The one who spoke was Megu Kataoka. She is the female class representative and is level headed individual. She noticed that Ryoto wouldn't be easily stopped and probably wouldn't listen to anyone at the moment, so she decided it was best to call for a teacher.
Tomohito: "On it!"
Tomohito Sugino, a former baseball club member. He is probably the most athletic student at the moment, and that's why he volunteered to run to the faculty office.
As soon as Tomohito exited the classroom, Ryoto started talking calmly.
Ryoto: "Can I climb a little higher first? I don't think it will do enough damage from this height."
Karasuma's gaze sharpened at his answer.
Tadaomi: "Drop him now, or you'll lose the right to get the reward. Let me tell you, all of you, the only one who you can hurt is this... thing."
Karasuma pointed at Koro-sensei, who usually would protest being called a thing was quiet. The situation is too serious.
Tadaomi: "You're not allowed to harm students. That's the rule that not only applies to him but all of you as well."
Ryoto narrowed his glowing blue eyes and released his grip, dropping Ryoma, who needed to take a few deep breaths, in the process. Ryoma looked at Ryoto in fear, but Ryoto wasn't focusing his attention on Ryoma anymore. It was shifted to Karasuma.
Ryoto: "Done, happy now? Because I'm not."
Ryoto walked towards his desk to get his backpack. He wasn't nervous, as if he didn't do anything wrong.
Tadaomi: "Come to the faculty office."
Ryoto was stopped by Karasuma once more. He calmed a bit after he put down Ryoma and was able to think more clearly.
Ryoto: "Understood."
That is the only thing Ryoto answered and left shortly after checking his backpack. This left the whole class in various emotions. Most of them were scared, but there were. Also, individuals who were curious or even worried.
As the students were digesting the situation, Ryoto was sitting in front of Karasuma and Koro-sensei.
