"Ryuuen, you don't want your violence video sent to Sakagami-sensei, right?"
Ryuuen initially wanted to act, but hearing that voice, he turned toward it.
A tall man stood there. He looked gentle, but the dark circles under his eyes gave him a fierce impression. 'Is he a punk from middle school?' thought Ryuuen.
As a former gang leader, Ryuuen had only been in class briefly today, but he knew most Class C students were troublemakers.
Naughty girls and naughty boys.
Ryuuen's memory was accurate. He remembered this man was his classmate, named Miyama Sendoh.
The silver-haired girl beside Sendoh was also from Class C.
She was one of the prettiest girls in class, so even though Ryuuen didn't remember her name, he had an impression of her.
The result?
Very good.
One of them recorded Ryuuen beating up seniors, and the other verbally threatened him. Really good.
Ryuuen's expression turned cold.
"What do you want?" asked Ryuuen.
"Nothing," Sendoh replied calmly. "I just thought, if you, Ryuuen, don't control your violence, it will harm Class C. So, I'm warning you. If you don't stop, the video I recorded will be sent to the school."
"So, you deliberately recorded me beating people, then stole school information," said Ryuuen, narrowing his eyes, his aura frightening.
Shiina's expression changed.
"What are you talking about?" Sendoh remained serious, his expression unchanged. "Why so suspicious? We were just passing by, saw you beating people."
"I didn't intervene because I knew I couldn't defeat you. So, I recorded your crime and happened to hear seniors giving information."
"That information proves I'm right."
"If the school evaluates our conduct, and you, Ryuuen, don't control yourself, Class C will lose many points. You will become the class's scapegoat."
"Moreover now, you've surely beaten seniors on the first day of school. Are you sure... you're free from the risk of expulsion?" said Sendoh.
"..."
Ryuuen stared at Sendoh with a sharp gaze.
But he thought clearly.
Violence was his method. Without violence, how would he get school information from seniors? But if caught, it was dangerous.
Ryuuen didn't want to be expelled.
His grades weren't enough to enter a school with this special treatment. After knowing the difference between this school and the outside world, he was interested.
'Why should I leave?' thought Ryuuen.
"Besides, you only recorded me beating people," said Ryuuen. "If I delete the video, you can't do anything. You're new students, don't have contacts yet. Impossible to send the video to others this quickly."
'Ryuuen's IQ is indeed high,' thought Sendoh.
Sendoh and Shiina had just met, only had contact with each other. Both were here, phones in their hands. If Ryuuen attacked and took their phones, he could delete the evidence.
But...
"That's useless," said Sendoh. "We indeed don't have many friends yet, but don't forget, we have Sakagami-sensei's contact. If you try to take them, we'll send the video to the teacher."
"Besides, look, they're not seriously injured, right? If they report, you'll still be punished," continued Sendoh.
"Will you report?" Ryuuen stared at both seniors sharply.
"No, no, we won't report!" Both seniors hurriedly raised their hands.
They seemed cowardly.
But no.
Both seniors thought, once safe, they would report Ryuuen.
Initially they didn't know Ryuuen's name, but from the conversation of these three first-year students, they knew. The red-haired man with a middle part who beat them was named Ryuuen.
'The girl among them is pretty, has a literary aura,' thought one of the seniors. 'Doesn't have a boyfriend yet, maybe? But Ryuuen must leave school!'
Usually, fighting doesn't cause expulsion. But Ryuuen was a new student, attacking seniors during the first month when behavior was strictly evaluated. The punishment would be severe.
Even if not expelled, Class C could lose 100-200 points.
A big punishment.
Although beaten until submissive, the hearts of both seniors didn't give up.
"Are you sure?" said Ryuuen. "If you can't get me expelled at once, I will take revenge."
"By the way, I'm in Class C first year. Even if this class knows the school's secrets earlier, maybe only 100-200 points will remain at the end."
"It doesn't matter losing points now!" Ryuuen stared sharply.
The seniors' idea of reporting immediately withered.
"Miyama-kun," said Shiina, realizing the problem.
Sendoh nodded.
'Ryuuen isn't just smart and violent,' thought Sendoh. 'He also masters psychology.'
Ryuuen threatened the seniors: if they didn't let him go now, he would take revenge. But actually, if reported, Ryuuen wouldn't be immediately expelled. At worst, the second or third report would expel him.
Ryuuen used psychology, made the seniors afraid.
And both seniors were clearly intimidated.
"Leave here," continued Ryuuen. "But remember one thing."
"School information shouldn't be carelessly leaked. Your actions violate the rules."
"You see, right? They recorded me beating people, surely also recorded your voices leaking school secrets."
"If the video of me beating people and your voices are exposed, imagine the consequences."
"We're in the same boat now. If you report, you're also finished," threatened Ryuuen.
Both seniors left with gloomy faces, even abandoning the free items from the minimarket.
Ryuuen looked at Sendoh and Shiina. "Now it's your turn. What are your objectives?"
