Trouble from the Dean's Office? Then I'll Conquer the Whole School First!
The next morning, Sing Sing stepped into the school gate with half a red bean bread in his mouth.
Suddenly, the school's public address system blared. "Transfer student Hoshino Seiichi, please proceed to the Dean of Students' office immediately. To reiterate, transfer student Hoshino Seiichi..."
Sing Sing chewed on his bread, his steps never faltering.
Behind him, Mitsuhashi Takashi jumped off his bicycle and caught up with him, his golden curly hair trembling wildly in the morning breeze.
"Hoshino! The administration office wants to see you! That guy's the most cunning one in the whole school!"
"Who?"
"The head of student affairs! That fat guy with the receding hairline. Last semester, a second-grader talked back to him a couple of times, and the next day he got a major demerit, and his parents were called in to put their fingerprints on his papers."
Sing Sing stuffed the last bite of bread into his mouth and patted the crumbs off his hands.
"Lead the way."
The Dean of Students' office is located at the far end of the first floor of the administration building.
The nameplate on the door was shiny, and the corridor was adorned with slogans such as "Uphold school discipline and maintain a positive school atmosphere."
Mitsuhashi dropped him off at the door and then slipped away, giving him a thumbs-up as he left, his expression like that of someone sending a comrade to the execution ground.
Sing Sing pushed open the door and went in.
A plump, middle-aged man sat behind the desk.
The bald patch on his head gleamed under the fluorescent lights, and his mustache was meticulously trimmed.
The guy didn't look up; he was flipping through a stack of documents.
Sing Sing stood at the door for five seconds, but the other party still didn't say anything.
Intentionally leaving someone hanging?
Use silence to create a sense of oppression, waiting for the students to panic first.
Sing Sing casually pulled over a visitor's chair, sat down, crossed his legs, took out a milk candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.
He crumpled the candy wrapper into a small ball and flicked it into the trash can.
The oblivious head of the teaching department was completely unaware of Sing Sing's subtle actions.
It wasn't until Sing Sing yawned that the head of the teaching department picked up the documents next to him and began to unfold them page by page.
"Hoshino Seiichi, a transfer student to Class 3-D. On his first day of school, he assaulted three classmates, injuring them."
"Extorted personal belongings from teacher Eikichi Onizuka, assaulted club members in public in the cafeteria, and repeatedly loitered on campus at night in violation of regulations."
The head of the teaching department closed the document and clasped his hands on his stomach.
"Hoshino, Toyo High School is a prestigious school that values its reputation."
"These are all things you've done in less than a week since you enrolled. We cannot tolerate such a rotten apple spoiling the school's reputation."
As he spoke, he pulled a form from the drawer and pushed it to the center of the table.
Application for voluntary withdrawal from school.
Sing Sing glanced down at the form, then looked up at the head of the teaching department.
Fighting?
In this school where bad students congregate, there are group fights in the third-grade hallways every day at lunchtime. When has the disciplinary office ever done anything about it?
Onizuka's photobook was something he provoked me to do; how can that be considered extortion?
They chose to launch their attack the very next day after he sneaked into the archives.
The Council reacted quickly enough.
Regardless of the reason, the other party has already concluded that he has touched something he shouldn't have.
They'll remove him through administrative procedures.
Clean, legal, and leaving no evidence.
Once he loses his student status, he won't even be able to enter the school.
Ichirai Hisako, Kobayashi Amiko, that cannibalistic laboratory, and the martyrs' records are all lost.
Sing Sing picked up the withdrawal application and folded it with both hands, quickly turning it into a paper airplane.
He breathed on the nose of the plane and flicked his wrist.
The paper airplane glided in a half-arc shape, passed through the open window, and drifted into the flower bed on campus.
The head of student affairs, who had been smiling, was now completely taken aback.
Sing Sing plopped down on the edge of the desk, looking down at him. "Want to fire me? You're not high enough, Director."
"Such a big matter should at least require the principal behind you to come and talk to me personally, right?"
The head of the teaching department's face went from white to red, then from red to pale.
He propped himself up on the table and poked Sing Sing's nose with his index finger.
"If you don't know what's good for you, the school will report you to the Immigration Bureau for serious misconduct! Your residency status will be reviewed again! You'll be forcibly deported, do you understand?"
Sing Sing brushed his fingers aside, jumped off the table, and patted the hem of his Zhongshan suit.
"Director, I advise you to be kind." He walked to the door, then glanced back at the fat man whose face was ashen.
"You're just a Watchdogs; don't think of yourself as the master. If you get your position wrong, you'll only bite your own tail."
The door closed behind him.
At the corner of the classroom, Ichirai Hisako leaned against the doorway, holding a textbook in her hand.
Sing Sing walked over.
Ichirai Hisako lowered her voice, "The Council never deals with disobedient ordinary students personally. They arrange for delinquent groups within the school to create bullying incidents, exert pressure, and isolate the target until they drop out or 'have an accident.'"
"By noon at the latest, someone will come looking for trouble."
Sing Sing looked at her. This girl was well aware of the risks, but she still stood there.
"Thanks," Sing Sing said.
Without saying another word, Ichirai Hisako walked into the classroom with her textbooks.
Sing Sing stood motionless in the corridor.
The light streaming in through the window cast a long shadow over him.
Want to play the bullying game with me?
You want to use thugs to force me out?
Since the Council wants to use someone else to do their dirty work, then they should put away all the weapons first!
Once he has trampled all the tough guys, the defiant ones, and the arrogant ones in this school underfoot, the Council will discover a very embarrassing fact: they will have to resort to external forces.
When the time comes, those hiding behind the scenes will have no choice but to step forward.
Sing Sing turned around and went to the broadcasting studio.
After easily breaking off a piece of the table corner, he smiled and asked today's announcer to leave.
Sing Sing raised the microphone and coughed twice, "Attention all students!"
His voice echoed across half the campus.
"I'm Hoshino Seiichi from Class 3-D!"
"Starting at exactly noon today, I'm going to take over the entire Toyo High School!"
The playground and classrooms erupted in an uproar.
Sing Sing didn't stop.
"Third graders, second graders, first graders—no matter which gang, club, or grade you're the leader of! If you're not convinced—see you on the playground at noon!"
"I'll fight one if one comes, and ten if ten come!"
"Special Announcement! Genji Takiya, I've saved you the travel expenses! I'll be waiting for you on the playground!"
The speaker emitted one last crackling sound of electricity before he casually tossed it aside.
In the third-grade hallway, Serizawa Tamao. "This guy... looks like I'll have to go all out!"
In the second-grade classroom, Mitsuhashi Takashi and Ito Shinji exchanged a glance.
Mitsuhashi jumped up from his seat. "Is he crazy? Taking on the whole school by himself?"
Ito Shinji paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to fight?"
The first-grade hallway is the quietest.
But several muscular Judo Club freshmen had already started whispering among themselves, eager to try it out.
GPS location.
Izaki Shun stood next to Genji Takiya, staring at the sky for a long time.
"Taking on the entire school by himself? He's even more arrogant than me."
