"My mother is dead!"
Kubo Sabae, who was kicked again, heard Kazuki"s words. Whatever he thought of in his mind, he shouted out with resentment, as if he was venting his emotions.
Upon thinking about how unfathomable it was that the person in front of him was able to kick him twice, and about how there was not a single part of his body that did not hurt, he felt wronged in his heart. However, he was unable to resist.
Through the beatings from these two feet, he understood that even if he got back up, he would not be able to beat Kazuki. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The more upset he got, the more wronged he felt, and his tears couldn"t stop flowing.
The three people in the security room were expressionless after watching this scene.
Iwai Taifu was astonished. Kazuki is truly still fierce to be able to make someone cry straight away just by kicking him twice.
The two boys that followed Kubo Sabae were also shocked. Boss had actually cried from being hit?
Kazuki took a step back. Although he was shocked at how fragile Kubo Sabae"s emotions were, he coldly continued, "Then ask your father to come."
"My father is also dead!"
After hearing this, the two boys at the back of the security room were speechless.
Kazuki frowned. He didn"t know whether Kubo Sabae was telling the truth. As he thought about it, he softened his demeanor, "Even if this is the case, it is not an excuse for you to be bad and skip school. Later, you"re going to ask for a day off from your teacher, go to a barber and dye your hair black, and then go back to school to apply for a school uniform."
"What if I don"t?" Kubo Sabae wiped away his tears stubbornly.
"If you don"t? Then get out of Sakura Kyu." Kazuki said coldly, "If not, every time I see you I"ll hit you. Remember, after school finishes today afternoon, you need to come to Cla.s.s One of the soph.o.m.ore year to find me, wearing your school uniform after dying your hair black. I am only going to wait 10 minutes for you. If I don"t see you 10 minutes after the end of school, I"m going to take it as if you have dropped out of school. If this happens, the next time I see you in Sakura Kyu, I will make you regret it."
After he finished speaking, he was too lazy to listen to Kubo Sabae"s nonsense and turned to face the two boys that were still in the security room, "You two!"
"Yes!" Both of them trembled, bodies standing as straight as pencils.
"The next time you want to be purposely late, I will hang you up somewhere and hit you."
Kazuki stopped talking and left. After waiting for Kazuki"s rearview to disappear within the school building, the people present let out relieved sighs. Even Iwai Taifu"s tense mood softened.
He looked at the trio in front of him, sighing, "Kazuki"s might is growing stronger and stronger. You guys should be more honest in the future. If you provoke him, being hit is still not serious. If you"re not careful, he will help you turn a hospital into a home."
"Kimura? You mean Kazuki?"
"If I wasn"t talking about him, who would I be talking about? Provoking anyone isn"t good, but you guys just had to provoke him."
Provoke him? It was obviously him that randomly came up to us and kicked Boss down to the ground, okay?! We didn"t do anything.
Hearing this, the trio wanted to cry. Especially Kubo Sabae, who was already crying after being hit. He originally wanted to find someone to help him take revenge, but after realizing that his enemy was Sakura Kyu"s biggest baddie, in an instant, he no longer had this idea. At this time, his heart was even more afraid. When he thought of how he had to find Kazuki after school ended this afternoon, he was in despair.
Putting Kubo Sabae"s trio aside, when Kazuki entered the school building, the recess bell rang.
The first-floor corridor was filled with a large number of students, but to Kazuki, they were all strangers. Only a small amount of students, upon seeing the Sun and Moon Sword on Kazuki"s waist, turned away after their face changed slightly, not daring to look at him.
It was only until Kazuki had gone up two floors did they secretly let out sighs of relief.
Upon reaching the second floor, the corridor also had many soph.o.m.ores, noisier in comparison with the freshmen. When the soph.o.m.ores saw Kazuki, they immediately quieted with awe in their eyes. When they saw Kazuki walking towards them, they subconsciously made way for him.
Some teachers had not yet left the cla.s.srooms, and upon seeing how quiet the corridors were, their hearts could not help but skip a beat. The teacher that walked out of the cla.s.sroom door and saw Kazuki in the hallway smiled and waved, "Kazuki, I heard you had requested for two days off. During these two days all of us teachers were so nervous, afraid that you would be stolen by other schools."
Kazuki smiled helplessly, "Mr. Nomura, you shouldn"t be joking."
"Kazuki has finally returned. I"ll need to trouble you to help me take on two cla.s.ses on Monday, my old bones have to go to the hospital to be checked these days." An old teacher with white hair said had just exited a cla.s.sroom, and when he saw Kazuki he was wild with joy, "Same as always, I"ll give you a tuition fee for both these cla.s.ses."
"Okay, is it Monday morning or afternoon?" Kazuki replied quickly, without any opposition. He was used to subst.i.tuting cla.s.ses for Mr. f.u.kuda, who was over 70 years old.
"Monday afternoon, the two math cla.s.ses in your cla.s.s."
"No problem."
"Mr. f.u.kuda, I think you should retire as soon as possible." The rest of the teachers agreed, opening their mouths. The teacher in front of them, Mr. f.u.kuda, had been a teacher for a lifetime. Not only them but all the teachers in the entire district, respected him greatly.
However, recently, he had been visiting the hospital quite frequently, and they were all worried.
"What do you mean "to retire," I am a man who has sworn to die on the podium." f.u.kuda Tos.h.i.+kei carried the textbooks, filled with enthusiasm. In the end, he still turned around to look at Kazuki, smiling kindly at him, "Even if I want to retire, I"d want to see Kazuki enter the University of Tokyo before retiring."
"What are you so loud for? Can"t you see that I still have a cla.s.s?"
Before Kazuki could open his mouth, a female teacher of about 30 years old walked out of Cla.s.s Five of the soph.o.m.ore year.
When the other teachers saw Sakura Haruko coming out, their expressions were unnatural and one by one, upon waving Kazuki goodbye, returned to the teachers" office.
Sakura Haruko was a woman who had been secretly deemed "Queen" as a nickname by all the students and was not to be provoked.
Seeing this, Sakura Haruko coldly snorted. Upon seeing Kazuki, her expression softened, and her taut complexion revealed a smile, "You"ve come back! This time you asked for two days off, has there been any incident?"
"It was a little issue and has already been resolved, Ms. Sakura."
"Whatever it is, do not keep it in your heart. You can talk about it to your teacher if I can help in any way I will definitely do so."
"I will, teacher." Hearing Ms. Sakura"s sincere words, Kazuki smiled.
As if Sakura Haruko had thought of something, she said softly, "Kazuki, do you want to work?"
All the teachers in school knew that Kazuki"s family"s financial situation was difficult, and many of them wished to help him. Some teachers even tried to secretly donate money to help him, but when he discovered it was happening, he put a stop to it.
However, this kind of paid work, Kazuki was naturally unable to refuse, especially since he needed money, "What kind of work, teacher?"
Sakura Haruka whispered, "Like this, in the afternoon, after school has finished, you should come to the teacher"s office to look for me. I"ll bring you to meet the princ.i.p.al, and we"ll see if we can make something work."
"I can do that," Kazuki readily agreed, without asking anything else.
f.u.kuda Tos.h.i.+kei, who was standing by the side, watched as the two finished their conversation. He smiled, preparing to talk to Sakura Haruko, "Sakura, when are you coming home? Tomohito misses you a lot."
"You smelly old man, can you not call my name? You better be careful, or I"ll report you for s.e.xual hara.s.sment. Also, don"t say your son"s name, I"ve already divorced him, and when I hear that name, I feel disgusted." Sakura Haruka had a face of dislike. After saying that, she looked towards Kazuki, "Remember to find me in the afternoon. If you can get this job, you can earn a lot of money."
"Thank you, Ms. Sakura, I will," Kazuki replied sincerely.
After that, Sakura Haruko and f.u.kuda Tos.h.i.+kei said goodbye to Kazuki and returned to the teacher"s office.
Kazuki saw f.u.kuda Tos.h.i.+kei blindly following Sakura Haruko, talking endlessly at her side. This scene made him smile.
Thinking about the situation at midnight, he felt that school life was still the most comfortable.
