And then the fateful morning came――
“Oh no! Did I oversleep?!”
As soon as I woke up, I realized that the alarm on my phone hadn’t gone off. In a panic, I picked up my smartphone from my bedside and found out that its battery had already dried out.
It was no wonder that the alarm didn’t go off.
“Please, please, please, please! Still be morning, be morning, be morning!”
While praying to God, I ran into the living room and checked the wall clock.
It was fifteen minutes before the school bell rang.
If I hurry up, I can just make it in time!
I felt so relieved…
I had just been involved in a fight. On top of that, if I’m late, I felt like that combination would end up giving off the worst possible outcome ever.
With this in mind, I knew it would not be long before my neck would be disconnected from my body!
Rather, it was not actually the time to feel relieved!
I quickly got dressed and left the room.
I ran through the school road at full speed, made my way into the entrance hall, changed into indoor shoes, and dashed with all my might to the principal’s office!
In front of the principal’s office, there were all familiar faces with serious expressions standing around there.
Kohaku, Akari, and Mashiro-san.
Seeing me out of breath and running toward them, the three of them had rather relieved looks on their faces.
“I’m relieved that Touma-kun is now here.”
“I was worried that you would voluntarily drop out of school when you didn’t show up. You haven’t done anything wrong, really. Go in without any worries.”
“I told the principal what had happened yesterday. I’m sure he will understand.”
I had no idea if I was going to be reprimanded once I went inside, but the three of them had done everything they could for me.
Knowing that I had three strong heartfelt friends on my side, I was very much relieved.
Just knowing that made me feel a little better.
“Is the Principal… in there already?”
“He’s been waiting for you for about an hour now.”
Uwaa. I had been keeping him waiting for so long.
The principal’s goodwill toward me should be pretty non-existent now.
If I made him wait any longer, I had a feeling that I may be expelled from school the moment I walked into his office.
After taking a deep breath and calming myself down, I knocked on the heavy door.
“– Enter.”
As I received permission, I entered the room, feeling very tense.
“Aren’t you quite late today? Did you oversleep on a day as important as this?”
It was the principal who said so with a groaning voice from his seat on the leather sofa.
His stature was just as scary as a yakuza, with a body that would definitely suit someone who practiced judo.
It was at a level that would make anyone scream and run away the moment you encountered such a frightful figure on the road at night.
But I couldn’t run away.
I deeply bowed my head with the utmost respect.
“I apologize to my best ability for being late!”
“It doesn’t matter. It seems that the vice principal only told you to go to the principal’s office before homeroom. I did expect a much later visit than normal, well, it’s still very much before the homeroom after all. For now, have a seat.”
“Y-Yes, excuse me…”
I sat down on the sofa as the principal peered across the table.
It was a rather luxurious sofa, but perhaps because of the tense atmosphere I found myself in, I couldn’t feel comfortable sitting in it.
With my anxiety reaching new peaks at every passing moment, the principal said, “Well then… Is it true that you were involved in a fight at Cosmoland?”
“Y-Yes, it’s true…”
“Then, can you tell me how the fight started all in all? I’ve already heard about the incident from the teachers, but I’d like to hear your side of the story as well.”
“Um, I… no, eh, I, uh no, perhaps… me?”
“It’s nothing to be anxious about. It’s fine to be just your usual self.”
“Um, sorry. Then I will take on your suggestion. Yesterday, I saw Shirasawa-san and Akamine-sensei being hit on by a party of two men at Cosmoland. But it was when they said something really rude to Shirasawa-san … that I really lost my cool. Right when they had caught hold of my collar and were about to punch me, I gave them a headbutt straight to the head.”
“So in short, you intervened out there to protect my daughters?”
As if not willing to miss even the slightest lie, he looked straight into my eyes for confirmation.
The sharp glint in his eyes made me want to look away immediately, but I held back my impulses and nodded while staring right back at the principal’s eyes.
“It’s true that I intervened. Of course, I had only intervened because I wanted to, and it’s not like I was pushed by the three girls to do so. So, if you’re going to punish someone, please let it be me and me alone.”
“I had no intention of punishing the three of them from the beginning. And from what I’ve heard, your actions seem like self-defense.”
Hearing his judgment of self-defense, I could see the light of hope at the end of the tunnel for a moment. However――
“However…”
The principal gave me a stern look and my faint hope that I might be forgiven was forever crushed.
“Whether it was in self-defense or not, the fact remains that you got into a fight outside of school. And then, acknowledging the precedent, you should definitely be expelled from our academy.”
“… Was there a student who went through the same thing as me in the past?”
“It’s not exactly the same. To tell the truth, the two men you were engaged in a quarrel with were students who were enrolled at our school four years ago.”
“Eh? They were past students of this very same academy?”
“Yes. The two of them caused a violent incident during a fellowship excursion. I expelled them myself from our school.”
I did the exact same thing they did — I got into a fight in Cosmoland on a fellowship excursion trip.
