He saw Yumi Kikuchi and her two followers walking out of the classroom, chatting and laughing.
A sparrow flew silently over the teaching building. Looking through the window of the corridor on the other side, I saw Kikuchi Yumi and her group arrogantly ordering a short girl around and slapping another girl's cheek without any politeness.
A typical bullying scenario.
"If we want to get rid of the goblin label, we must correct this nasty personality trait."
Qingze silently took a sip of the goji berry water from his thermos.
He knew that to truly change a person, it was often necessary to overturn their environment.
The most effective way to deal with bullies is perhaps to let them experience the feeling of being bullied firsthand, thereby developing empathy.
But as a teacher, he absolutely cannot do such a thing himself.
After much thought, Qingze turned his gaze to Yatohime.
Her "flower of evil" image and decisive style of doing things made her an excellent candidate to carry out this "special education program".
"Let's find an opportunity to talk to her at noon."
Qingze thought to himself that he could also complete the interactions related to the [Paradox Fairy] tag and obtain enhancements.
As a young male teacher, the only time he could naturally interact with Yatohime and Hoshino Saori was during club activities that they would participate in.
We need to avoid any other situations to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.
Chapter 18 Special arrangements
The lunch break at Nagato High School starts at 12:20 and ends at 1:00 in the afternoon, lasting only forty minutes.
Qingze didn't go to the cafeteria for dinner; he just bought two red bean buns and a bottle of iced cola from the vending machine.
He quickly finished his simple lunch as he walked toward the club building.
He held the packaging bag and empty can in his hand until he reached the trash can at the entrance of the club building, where he accurately threw them in.
Qingze entered the building and walked up the stairs to the fourth floor.
The philosophy club was at the far east end; he pushed open the door.
The activity room, which is about 60 square meters, is not empty. Against the wall stands a bookshelf filled with philosophical classics.
The north-facing window was open, letting in a refreshing breeze, but it did nothing to dispel the tense, frozen atmosphere inside.
In the center of the activity room, Yatohime and Hoshino Saori stood facing each other.
Both men clasped their hands together, their index and middle fingers forming a sword gesture, their arms slightly bent, assuming a ready-to-go stance, their sharp eyes locked on each other, as if they were about to unleash some ultimate technique at any moment.
Qingze was taken aback and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"duel!"
Hoshino Saori's face tightened, and her tone was unusually serious, "I must make Yato personally experience what it feels like to be hit by the Thousand Years of Death!"
"Hmph, bring it on."
Yato-hime raised her chin slightly, her face radiating an aura of fearlessness.
Qingze couldn't help but scratch his head and complain, "Hey, let's skip this kind of vulgar game that damages the image of a beautiful girl."
"It was all Yato who started this war!"
Hoshino Saori angrily complained, her cheeks flushed.
Who would have thought that when she bent down to change her shoes without any warning, she would suddenly be "pointed at" from behind.
She was so startled that she almost tripped and fell flat on her face.
She must repay this "humiliation" tenfold.
Qingze changed into indoor shoes and didn't try to persuade him any further.
He walked to the low table in the room, bent down, picked up a black-covered notebook, and casually opened it, saying, "Hoshino, what earth-shattering quote has been born today?"
Hoshino Saori continued to watch Yato-hime warily, but a look of confusion crossed her face as she asked, "Huh? Teacher, when did you become interested in this?"
"I just think you are likely to become a great philosopher in the future, and I plan to read your intellectual masterpiece in advance."
Qingze casually offered a compliment.
These words struck a chord with Saori Hoshino.
She immediately beamed, and the green tag above her head, "Paradox Fairy," began to glow. A tiny green light suddenly shot into Qingze's brow.
hum.
The familiar amplification of senses resurfaced.
Unlike the pure brute force of increased strength, this enhancement focuses more on ultimate control.
The trails of dust particles floating in the air, the subtle patterns on the wooden floor, the flow of wind outside the window, even the faint sounds of members of the karuta club next door reciting waka poems...
Everything became incredibly clear, as if he had opened up an invisible realm of perception centered on himself.
This feeling is so wonderful.
"Hehe, teacher, you finally recognize the brilliance of my ideas! I'll explain it to you in detail now..."
Saori Hoshino was so excited that she was about to launch into her long-winded speech.
Qingze slammed his notebook shut, interrupting her, saying, "Alright, we'll talk about your philosophical discussion later."
Now, there's a special matter that needs to be addressed.
Hoshino Saori pouted her cherry-like lips, but curiosity ultimately prevailed, and she leaned forward to ask, "Teacher, what kind of special event is it?"
"I discovered that Yumi Kikuchi from Class D of Grade 11 is bullying others."
As a teacher, my direct intervention might have limited effect, so I'd like to ask Yato to step in.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Yatohime chimed in, her tone tinged with eagerness, "Should I beat her so badly she ends up in the hospital?"
"of course not."
Qingze quickly waved his hand, "Just give her a simple threat, tell the other students not to associate with her, and let her experience what it feels like to be bullied."
Only in this way can she truly realize her past mistakes.
Qingze revealed his plan.
Yato-hime readily nodded; after all, this was a good thing to "uphold justice," and she was happy to help.
……
Yumi Kikuchi was leaning against the window of the second-floor corridor, enjoying a leisurely afternoon.
The unpleasant experience in the restroom this morning vanished completely after I returned to my familiar classroom and started using my familiar classmates again.
In her second year of high school, she remained the undisputed leader.
She was excitedly discussing the latest lipstick shades with two companions when she noticed that one of her companions suddenly turned pale and looked behind her with a terrified expression.
Kikuchi Yumi's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up inside her.
She turned her head and saw the blonde girl striding towards her like a victorious queen heading to the battlefield, exuding a powerful and awe-inspiring aura.
Kikuchi Yumi's expression changed slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and was about to question him.
boom!
Yatohime punched her in the abdomen, the force just right, not enough to seriously injure her, but enough to make her gasp in pain and bend over.
“Listen,” Yatohime said coldly, looking down at him, “From today onwards, I am the boss of Nagato High School.”
"Anyone who dares to associate with her again is going against me, and don't blame me for being ruthless."
Her sharp gaze swept over the two silent followers beside Yumi Kikuchi.
The two men were so frightened that they nodded repeatedly, not daring to breathe.
Yatohime snorted coldly and turned away gracefully.
Kikuchi Yumi rubbed her aching stomach, a hint of resentment flashing across her face, and said bitterly, "Damn it, does she really think I'm afraid of her?"
The words had barely left his mouth when all around him fell silent.
She turned her head and saw that the two so-called "friends" had quietly moved several steps away, their eyes darting around.
"Where are you going?"
Yumi Kikuchi couldn't help but ask.
The two men did not answer, but instead quickened their pace and blended into the crowd in the corridor as if avoiding a plague.
This scene made Yumi Kikuchi tremble with anger.
Those two disloyal bastards!
She glanced around reluctantly, only to find that the girls who used to fawn over her were now looking at her with unusually calm, even indifferent, eyes.
This sudden sense of isolation filled her with inexplicable panic.
She mentally made an excuse to go to the restroom, hoping to temporarily escape the suffocating atmosphere.
In the cubicle, she tried to calm herself down, prepared her speech, and planned to "magnanimously" forgive the two lackeys when she got back, and then try to reason with them and salvage the situation.
However, when she returned to the classroom door, she found that something was wrong.
Several classmates were pointing and whispering about her seat.
Her heart tightened, and she rushed into the classroom.
In just a short while, her seat had been completely transformed, which only shows that some people's "efficiency" in committing evil is astonishing.
Kikuchi Yumi's face flushed instantly, her anger overwhelming her reason. She slammed her hand on the table and roared hysterically, "Which bastard did this?!"
Chapter 19 The Law of the Jungle is Not Worthy of Advocacy
The classroom was as noisy as ever.
The students gathered in small groups, laughing and chatting, as if the hysterical roar from before was just an insignificant background noise, and no one even bothered to glance at her.
This deliberate disregard that permeates the air is more suffocating than direct mockery.
