ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The half-baked gang Red Dragon, who suddenly raided the school with the help of Iketsuki and his crew, were brutally defeated and now lay sprawled out in the schoolyard.

Their supposed backup, the bald-headed leader of a rogue biker gang, quickly abandoned them.

Trembling in despair, Ryuzaki followed the orders and gathered the unconscious members of Red Dragon, along with Iketsuki, who lay face down on the ground like a dead frog.

They were all forced to kneel in the center of the schoolyard.

The commotion caused by the attack on the school by Red Dragon had been anticipated, and orders were given to inform the fire department and the police beforehand.

They were told, “There will be a surprise evacuation drill at the school on Wednesday,” so even though alarms rang, the fire department did not rush to the scene.

The smoke from the flares was thinning out, and many onlookers who had evacuated were gathering in the schoolyard. 

Teachers and everyone present murmured restlessly at the bizarre sight—Iketsuki and a group of people in flashy clothes kneeling in front of me, seated on a folding chair in the center of the yard.

I casually crossed my legs, pointed upward, and the kneeling members of Red Potato and Iketsuki also looked up, drawn by my gesture.

“Let me tell you first, we have everything recorded. The part where you attacked the school and all of you ganged up on me—it’s all on video.”

Ryuzaki and the others were shocked to notice three drones hovering above, gently shifting their positions in the sky.

“In other words… what’s about to begin, this hellish judgment show, will also have the added bonus of being self-defense on my part.”

As I gave a cold smile, both Iketsuki and Ryuzaki, their shoulders trembling, kept their heads down, fully aware of the violence disguised as judgment that was about to start.

However, if any of them were to call the police and turn themselves in right now, that would be a problem… It would make things complicated.

“All right, if any of you have a smartphone or a cellphone, take it out and show it to me now.”

The worthless punks looked at each other, hesitating to follow my orders.

“Hey, Red Potato, you show me yours first…”

Called out by name, Ryuzaki’s gaze darted around nervously… 

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten—”

[Smash!] I stood up with force, grabbed Ryuzaki by the head, and slammed him into the ground. When I lifted him back up, blood was pouring from his nose, and his eyes were filled with tears.

“Don’t make me wait too long… One, two, three, four—”

As I started counting again, Ryuzaki, panicking, quickly pulled his phone out of his back pocket and handed it to me with a forced smile.

“Do you guys want me to start counting down for you like I did with Red Potato? Next time, I might make the countdown shorter~”

Iketsuki and the other members of Red Dragon hurriedly raised their phones and smartphones in the air, desperately trying to appeal to me.

“Collect them and analyze their contents…”

I gave instructions into the small microphone attached to my collar, and several female staff members in suits appeared from behind the school gate, going around to gather the phones into a box.

“Fudo-sama, we’ll also take care of this phone for you,” Mifune-san said with a slight bow as she took the phone from Ryuzaki with both hands.

“Mifune-san, how long will it take?”

I asked as she handed the phone over to a staff member collecting the devices behind us.

“About 30… no, 20 minutes should do.”

“Haha, that’s quick. Well then, let’s enjoy the judgment show for the next 20 minutes~”

As I watched the staff heading toward the van parked nearby, which was equipped with the necessary equipment for the analysis, I clapped my hands to get the attention of the punks who were nervously looking around.

“Now, let’s begin the judgment show! First up, Red Potato-kun! You owe me about five hits, so you’ll be getting punched.”

“!? Huh?”

“Hm? Didn’t you hear me? Red Potato-kun still owes me five full-force punches.”

Not realizing that I had added the word “full-force,” Ryuzaki’s face turned pale as he prostrated himself before me, begging for forgiveness.

“I’m truly sorry! I swear we won’t do anything like this ever again, so please forgive me!!”

With a smile, I patted Ryuzaki on the shoulder. As he looked at me with a desperate smile, I delivered a powerful uppercut to his chin.

[Crack!] The massive Ryuzaki was lifted off the ground by the force of the punch. As he began to fall, I followed up with a direct punch to his solar plexus, causing him to double over in pain and collapse to his knees, vomiting. Without missing a beat, I hit him with a backhand to the cheek, sending him flying several meters before he finally passed out.

“Alright, Red Potato-kun, that’s three hits down. You’ve got two more to go. We’ll continue when you wake up later, okay?”

“Next up! You over there, you’re getting kicked three times!”

I pointed at one of the thugs, who wet himself and tried to run away.

“Oh, by the way, if you try to run, the guy next to you will take the hits instead~♪”

Reacting to my words, the guys on either side of him quickly pinned him down before he could escape.

“Let me go!! Aren’t we supposed to be allies? This monster’s going to kill me! Let me gooo!!”

As I approached the worthless punk being held down, he begged for mercy like Ryuzaki did. I ignored his pleas and delivered a single kick to his face, knocking him out cold.

The judgment show turned into a chaotic mess of insults, with some trying to escape my payback and others desperately trying to avoid becoming the next victim. 

All that talk about being allies was shallow in the end.

In the end, everyone except Ryuzaki passed out after just one hit, unable to withstand any more.

“There’s only five minutes left, so if I can’t finish the rest of the punishment now, I might come pay you a visit later.”

Ryuzaki and the members of Red Dragon, who had finally regained consciousness, were already in shambles. Without even asking for forgiveness, they just knelt in front of me, sobbing and bowing their heads.

“Now, the last one to face judgment is Iketsuki, but since he has over a hundred hits left, I’ll enjoy collecting them every day from now on~”

Trembling and crying, Iketsuki pleaded desperately,

“F-Fudo-kun, w-wait! I have nothing to do with them! That’s right! I was threatened, I had no choice…”

“You bastard! You think you can get away by yourself!?”

“This is all your fault! If you had warned us he was a monster from the start, we wouldn’t be in this mess!”

The members of Red Dragon were furious, shocked by Ryusei’s attitude.

“Well, well, Iketsuki-kun, the star of the judgment show, will be thoroughly cornered from now on♪”
