Chapter 5 is so good!
"Hey, young man, you're late too?"
It turns out that I'm not the only one who's been unlucky all along. With this mindset, he greeted the young man running behind him towards the sunrise.
"Yes, you too."
The young man responded subconsciously out of politeness, and then his face turned into a awkward expression. He was probably thinking: why could I respond so naturally to such a strange greeting?
Wait! That familiar hedgehog head, the unchanged T-shirt + white shirt combination, and the unfortunate aura that keeps emanating from his pores; could this guy be the troublemaker who's always on my mind, the one I've been trying to avoid, the brother of Miao Mei?
"Haha, how could it be such a coincidence...? Your name wouldn't happen to be Kamado Tanjiro, would it?" Introducing himself with a hint of expectation, one in ten thousand, he asked the young man behind him.
"How did you know my name?" Kamijou Touma thought that the dead fish-eyed high school student he met today was strange; not only was his greeting strange, but it was also strange that he knew his own name, even though he had never seen this person before in his impression.
“……”
"Goodbye, no more goodbyes!"
Ji Lu initially had a gloomy face, feeling that believing the author had integrity made him an idiot. In an instant, he switched his ability 'Quantum Acceleration' to 'Footstep Acceleration', rapidly fleeing from this unlucky hedgehog head at 70 yards per second.
Kamijou Touma stared blankly as he watched Accelerator quickly disappear into the distance, his mouth agape and speechless; why did his running speed seem to increase like a dog was chasing after him once he confirmed my name? Could it be that the unfortunate rumors about me had already spread throughout the various high schools in Academy City along with my name?
It's really... unfortunate!!!!!!!
"Hoo...!" Xiaoyi finally saw the school gate in sight, and a feeling of breaking free from fate's shackles arose in his heart; indeed, as long as he was willing to work hard, even the protagonist who had given up on all fantasies could break free from it, hahaha!!!
"First arrow of the journey!"
Just as Kai Ryōsuke was catching his breath after entering the school gate, a familiar voice sounded in his ear. Hmm, it seemed to be the person who called him this morning. Turning around, a middle-aged bald man dressed in a suit stood at the entrance of the campus, and his eyes were looking at Kai Ryōsuke as if he was looking at a fresh turd.
No matter what, being stared at with this kind of gaze is really annoying. Ever since I was a salesperson and punched that client who dared to set his dog on me in the nose and got fired and switched jobs; I haven't been looked at with this kind of gaze again.
"What?" Even if the other person's identity might be a teacher, Jie Lü Chū Yì felt that when facing this kind of gaze, he really couldn't use any other tone to respond.
"What's with your tone? You're late for three or four hours and you still dare to speak to me in this tone? Don't you have any semblance of being a student? Aren't you already in high school? Are you still holding onto that childish rebellious attitude from middle school?" The middle-aged man in the suit, who was going bald, felt his anger ignite at the sight of this dead-eyed high school student; since becoming the school's principal several years ago, no student had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone after doing something wrong. If he didn't get a satisfactory explanation from the student, he would be doomed!
"Well, I don't know who your math teacher is, but what I want to tell you is that even if we count from the time school starts until now, my late arrival hasn't been as long as three or four hours. Thank you! What I hate the most are those people who like to exaggerate others' mistakes. Admitting one's mistake doesn't mean being wronged by others; these are two completely different things."
"You dare to talk back!" The middle-aged man in a suit, who was going bald, felt like his lungs were about to burst. He had never met anyone who dared to resist under his authority before. He took three steps forward and stopped in front of Jie Lü Chu Xiang, using his short, thick fingers to poke at his head repeatedly, shouting: "A piece of trash like you, the school can't continue to educate! People like you will either become criminals or garbage collectors after graduation! If you don't want to study, get out of this school early and go hang out with those hoodlums on the streets!"
"It's really laughable......" Ji Lü Chū Yì grasped the middle-aged man in a suit, who was balding and pointing at his own head, with one hand. His dead fish eyes turned sharp and ferocious.
"What are you trying to do?" The middle-aged man in a suit with a bald head asked, avoiding the sharp and fierce gaze of Shang Jie's sudden change, his heart feeling guilty.
"As an educator, can you really shift the entire responsibility of not educating students well to just one student?...
Ji Lü Chū Yǐ grasped the middle-aged man's fingers and bent them in the opposite direction of the joints. The pain transmitted through the nerves caused the middle-aged man in a suit with a bald head to involuntarily hunch over, forming a く shape. Then, Ji Lü Chū Yǐ naturally lifted his knee and violently struck the middle-aged man's protruding abdomen."
"It's because of people like you that this city has so many problems! Who is it that needs to reflect on themselves?"
"Ugh..."
At this time, the middle-aged man in a suit with a bald head had already been knocked to the ground by a severe blow to his abdomen and was vomiting uncontrollably.
"Stop it! What are you doing to the teaching director over there?"
"Teacher Tianwei, look at the school gate over there. The one who fell on his knees seems to be the Dean of Studies..."
"Oh, Minako, look! The annoying vice principal has been knocked down at the school entrance..."
"Nowhere... nowhere..."
"Let me see..."
Due to the commotion at the school gate, students in class and teachers in their offices couldn't help but look over here. What came into view was: the bald-headed principal being knocked down, and a beautiful scene of the school security guard's uniform being pressed onto the ground.
"This scene has nothing to do with the word 'dignity'!" Jie Lü Chū Yì thought to himself, feeling extremely humiliated that he was pinned down by a few security guards in front of the whole school; and to be subdued by a few trash with combat power of only 5? This is just too humiliating!
"At this time, you're still spacing out and saying some inexplicable things. Have you reflected on yourself properly?!" The principal, seated behind the office desk, slammed his hand on the table, bringing the daydreaming Jiaolong Yixiang back to reality.
"Principal, this student has seriously violated school rules and regulations, and this incident has brought very bad influence to the school. I suggest giving him expulsion as punishment." The middle-aged man in a suit with a bald head stood beside the principal, making the suggestion, which would humiliate him in front of the whole school. If not handled severely, who would still know the authority of the teaching director in the future?
"Is there anything else you can explain about this matter?" The principal supported his forehead with one hand, this matter made him feel very headache; students openly beat the instructor in front of the school gate, which was the first time since the school was founded; if it spread to the ears of the school board, even he would not have a good outcome. Thinking of this, he had already decided on the handling result for Jie Lu Chuyi.
"No." Ji Lu shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to say; it was done and there was no use explaining it. Could good explanations make people treat mistakes as if they never happened? Since the outcome was already predetermined, why waste words on futile efforts.
The bland reaction of Kaiji Kaito made the middle-aged bald man in a suit standing next to the principal very unhappy. Originally, he had wanted to trample on his face when Kaiji apologized and begged for another chance, then give him a desperate outcome to vent his own hatred.
"Hmm...” The principal put down the hand that was supporting his forehead and stared at Kai Tora, saying: “In that case... due to your actions being a serious violation of school rules and bringing a huge negative impact on the school, I am formally notifying you; the school has decided to expel you. You can go gather your belongings now, and a written notice will be delivered to your residence tomorrow."
"Uh-huh."
He nodded slightly and raised an eyebrow to indicate that he had received it, then turned around and left, going back to the classroom where he was before to collect his personal belongings.
