"What should we do?"
"Hayato was defeated?"
"Tobe, didn't you always brag about being a fighting expert?"
"Hurry up and help Hayato!"
Urged by his companions, Tobe hesitated, completely timid.
"I, I need to go to the toilet!"
Tobe panicked, and ran away.
"Tobe…"
Hayato, who was being held down on the ground, showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
Although he wasn't really hoping for Tobe to help him, the latter's act of running away still dealt him a heavy blow.
He couldn't help but start doubting whether the "friendship" he had always tried his best to maintain was correct.
"Yoshida! You, you let go of Hayato!"
Yumiko's voice trembled. Despite her strong exterior, she was actually quite fragile inside.
"He was the one who made the first move."
"Since you chose to make a move, you have to pay the corresponding price."
With that, Tenya not only didn't let go, but instead added a little more force to his palm.
"Ahhh!"
Hayato's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
He felt as if his arm was caught by an iron clamp and was about to be snapped off.
"Please let go!"
Yumiko paced back and forth anxiously, but there was nothing she could do.
Yui, who was on the side, suddenly had a moment of clarity and looked at Rikka for help.
"Takanashi-san! I'm sorry!"
"Could you please help persuade Yoshida-san to spare Hayato this one time!"
When the Minami clique bullied Rikka earlier, Yui was one of the few people in the J Class who spoke up for the latter. Rikka secretly remembered the other party's kindness.
"Tenya, that's enough."
"The magic power on you is too strong. If you release it casually, it is likely to destroy the world."
Rikka used Chuunibyou lines to subtly persuade Tenya.
"Since it is Rikka's request, then I will be magnanimous and spare this foolish offender for now!"
Unexpectedly, Tenya didn't hesitate at all and released Hayato very readily.
Yui, who was good at reading the atmosphere, instantly understood something.
She took the lead and bowed to Rikka to thank her, "Thank you for your generosity, Takanashi-san!"
Yumiko, who saw her friend being saved, immediately broke into a smile through her tears and cast a grateful look at Rikka.
"Thank you…"
"Uh, I just don't want the world to be destroyed…"
Rikka was instantly overwhelmed by the attention.
Having gained the approval of the Yumiko group, everyone in the F Class's perception of Rikka changed greatly unconsciously.
"So that's how it is."
A look of understanding flashed across Megumi's eyebrows.
At this moment, she finally understood Tenya's operation.
He deliberately manipulated Hayato to force the small group led by Yumiko to seek help from Rikka.
Under Rikka's persuasion, Tenya released Hayato as a matter of course.
Yumiko's small group then became grateful to Rikka.
In this way, no one in the class dared to look down on Rikka anymore.
Reviewing the entire incident...
Tenya not only protected Rikka but also elevated the latter's position in the class.
Such a man with both wisdom and courage!
It's really hard not to be moved!
The violent incident that occurred in F Class was somehow spread.
It attracted the high attention of Mafuyu, the class's homeroom teacher.
"...I have a general understanding of the matter."
"Yoshida, do you admit to using violence to beat a classmate?"
Facing Mafuyu's questioning, Tenya didn't hesitate at all and gave a straightforward affirmative answer, "I admit it."
Hearing this, Minami and the others immediately looked happy and cursed inwardly, 'Bastard! Let's see how you'll handle this now!'
"Sagami, Satoshi, Suzuki, regarding your bullying of Takanashi, do you admit it?"
Mafuyu suddenly aimed her spearhead at Minami and the others.
An ordinary teacher might choose to mediate, or simply give both sides a fifty-fifty punishment. After all, the classic saying is that it takes two to tango.
However, Mafuyu is a highly responsible teacher who is absolutely clear about right and wrong.
"Ah, this..."
Minami and the others' expressions immediately froze, and they evaded the question, not daring to answer directly.
"I heard with my own ears that you called Takanashi-san a bitch, seducing Yoshida-san, and so on..."
Megumi unexpectedly took the lead in starting the attack.
"Kano, you!"
Minami immediately glared at her although she still didn't get the name right.
"I heard it too... Sagami and the others bullied Takanashi, the things they said were so nasty!"
Yui bravely stood up.
"I can also testify!"
Because Rikka had persuaded Tenya to let go of Hayato, Yumiko felt a hint of gratitude towards her.
With the support of Yumiko, the leader of the girls, more people began to denounce Sagami and the others.
"You guys…"
Minami and the others went in a panic.
They seemed to have not expected that their small group, the second echelon of F Class, would be reduced to a state where everyone would shout at them.
"The handling results for the main culprit and the accomplices are different…"
Hachiman's sinister remark immediately made Minami's small group feel insecure and suspicious of each other.
Tsk tsk!
As expected of Hachiman.
Tenya gave him a look of approval.
'Was I seen through with just one glance? What a terrifying man!'
Hachiman immediately shrank his neck, trying to be low-key again.
"This matter was led by Sagami…"
"Right, right! Sagami instructed us to bully Takanashi!"
"Kirisu-sensei! Actually, we are also victims."
"Bastards! You all had a part in it! You even said you would seduce Yoshida together, trick him into getting married, and get a green card to America…"
Facing the scapegoating of her fake friends, Minami simply went all out, dropping a bombshell and revealing the shocking plan of the gold diggers.
"Holy cow! There's even this kind of operation?"
The onlookers were all dumbfounded.
"Cunning succubi!!"
"But Tenya has the Sharingan, so he won't be fooled by you!"
Rikka stared at Minami and the others with a vigilant expression.
"Uh…"
Tenya was also stunned.
Although he didn't mind being seduced, being targeted by gold diggers still made him feel a wave of disgust.
Through the testimony of multiple parties, the fact that Minami's small group bullied Rikka was basically confirmed.
Mafuyu was very angry about this and immediately arranged to meet with the parents of the relevant individuals.
Unexpectedly, she learned that Rikka's father had passed away, her mother had run off.
Her only guardian was her older sister, Takanashi Touka, who was only a few years older than her.
Mafuyu immediately felt even more heartache.
"So she's a wild child with no father or mother?"
"Tell me, how much money do you want to extort?"
"Only then will you be willing to settle?"
The parents of the bullies, seeing that the Takanashi sisters were weak and alone, wanted to use money to silence them.
"Who wants your stinky money?"
"We don't accept a settlement!"
Although Touka was not old, she worked as a head chef in a high-end restaurant, and her income was not low.
Usually, due to her busy work, Touka had little time to accompany her younger sister. As soon as she heard that her sister was being bullied at school, she couldn't tolerate it.
"Little girl, you have no manners!"
"Who allowed you to talk to adults like that?"
The parents of the bullies tried to adopt the strategy of acting old and relying on their age.
But Mafuyu sternly warned, "Watch your words!"
"As parents, you have not set a good example for your children!"
"You make mistakes and don't know how to repent!"
"Since none of you have the sincerity to settle, then everything will be handled according to the school's rules and regulations!"
Facing Mafuyu's tough attitude, the parents of the bullies also panicked for a moment and quickly begged for mercy.
"Wait!"
"Kirisu-sensei, we know we were wrong. Please give the children a chance!"
"We are willing to apologize and make amends!"
However, the damage had already been done.
