Upon realizing that the two had noticed them, the disciplinary committee members quickened their pace and swiftly approached the bench.

As Minister Kawaguchi Shoko waved her hand, several disciplinary committee members immediately surrounded the benches on both sides of the path.

However, before Kawaguchi Shoko could begin her "questioning," Gwen, who had crossed his legs, suddenly spoke up—

"Raiden, does Senba Academy Japan, also have such blatant gang members?"

"?"

Raiden Mei, who was prepared to confront her former friend, suddenly froze, turning to look at Gwen on the other side of the bench, only to see a puzzled look on Gwen face.

"..."

Across from the two, Kawaguchi Shoko, who had been arrogantly poised to point fingers and criticize, suddenly lost her composure and glared unfriendly at the haughty Gwen.

"Student, please look carefully here. We are the school's disciplinary committee members."

If you are illiterate, I can apply for a place in junior high or elementary school for you. Please do not interfere with our official duties.

As the minister, I suspect there is an inappropriate relationship between the two of you that is not permitted by the school. Please cooperate with our investigation...

Raiden Mei, and this illiterate classmate.

Upon hearing their minister's words, the disciplinary committee members around Gwen, whose expressions had already darkened due to his attitude and words, immediately revealed mocking looks, eager to see what kind of expression Gwen would make—

The saying goes that like repels like. Most of the students didn't have a good impression of Gwen, who was far more attractive than them and arrogant, instead of obediently accepting questioning. Now, hearing their minister mock Gwyn for being illiterate, they were secretly pleased.

However, faced with the sarcasm and questioning of this so-called minister who had come on so aggressively, Gwen remained unfazed. He straightened up slightly from the back of the bench and explained in a serious tone:

"Let me clarify, I am a transfer student from Germany. I am fairly familiar with Divine Land, but I don't know much about Japanese, which is derived from Divine Land."

Moreover, the knowledge recorded in your textbooks is child's play for me, and studying here is just a way to kill time.

Therefore, we shouldn't joke about the so-called junior high school curriculum.

Finally, those who are supposed to be disciplinary committee members, please show your identification before handling any matters.

Otherwise, I will have to treat you all as gang members posing as disciplinary committee members.

"..."

Kawaguchi Shoko was just about to see Gwen make a fool of himself, was so angry that her chest swelled up a few inches as she glared at Gwen.

However, being the young lady who could be friends with the former Raiden Mei, Kawaguchi Shoko took a deep breath, her face displaying a formulaic expression, and said in a flat tone:

"Hey classmate, you can ask Raiden Mei next to you to verify my identity."

Furthermore, as a well-managed and excellent school, no student at the Senba Academy would dare to impersonate a Student Council member and commit wrongdoing. Your concerns are completely unfounded. Please cooperate with our work.

Hearing her former friend's articulate answer, Raiden Mei sighed inwardly. Just as she was about to confirm Gwen's question, she heard Gwen's slightly mocking voice—

"Effective management?"

I find it hard to agree with letting someone who lacks even basic logic manage discipline.

If I suspect an inappropriate relationship between two strangers who have only known each other for less than five hours, I find it hard not to doubt whether this student possesses basic logical thinking skills.

Or have you been watching too many soap operas and think you're living in a melodramatic soap opera?

Gwen lowered his left leg, crossed his right leg over his left, and leaned back against the chair, scoffing.

"Raiden Mei was arranged for me by our homeroom Teacher Fujimura, to help me understand the students at the school. You can verify this with him."

"You..."

Kawaguchi Shoko could no longer maintain her composure; veins throbbed on her forehead as she stared intently at Gwen.

Seeing their minister get the short end of the stick, the disciplinary committee members who were accompanying this young lady didn't just stand by and watch.

Retrieving a law enforcement tool that, while not particularly powerful, was enough to give unarmed students an absolute advantage, Hayama glared at Gwen, trying to save face for his boss and future superior:

"Student, please cooperate with our work, otherwise the disciplinary committee has the right to take enforcement action."

"Ha, why don't you try picking one up?"

Under Raiden Mei's astonished gaze, Gwen slowly stood up, twisting his wrist as if preparing to fight.

Chapter 138 Slap

As a young master who was forced to flee to the Far East after getting into a fight with a group of young noblemen at an upscale banquet, Yuzuru was naturally not a good-tempered person.

Therefore, resorting to violence when facing a disciplinary committee member with a clear tendency towards malicious enforcement is clearly in line with the character's persona.

So, after Gwen stood up and showed signs of taking action, the disciplinary committee members, who had dealt with many troublemakers, did not hesitate to wield the law enforcement equipment that was just a toy to gangsters, but very useful to students who were unarmed.

However, a mere three or five disciplinary committee members accustomed to bullying others with weapons were clearly no match for the German young master, who was prone to violence and had undergone professional training.

"Tch, still claiming to be not a gang member, but his decisiveness in taking action is no slower than those gangsters..."

Swinging his right hand, which was red and swollen from being hit twice, Gwen kicked Hayama, who was lying on the ground twitching, and grinned at Kawaguchi Shoko, whose face was very ugly from the rapid reversal of the situation, revealing his white teeth with a few bloodstains from being hit.

"Young man, I hope you can calm down."

Looking at Gwyn's Gwen teeth, who had easily beaten all his followers to their knees, Kawaguchi Shoko's confidence vanished completely, and she felt that even the slightest breeze blowing through the forest was bone-chillingly cold.

However, unlike Raiden Mei, who was showered with love and affection, Kawaguchi Shoko, due to the competition within her family, was not as psychologically fragile. Although she was flustered inside, she didn't show too much embarrassment. Her face was just a little pale, and she forced herself to say:

"We are simply carrying out the duties of disciplinary committee members to investigate any potential inappropriate interactions on campus. Please do not resist with violence."

Although she knew she was probably in deep trouble this time, Kawaguchi Shoko still insisted on the nature of the incident—

Having learned to fight even before graduating from elementary school Kawaguchi Shoko knew very well what to say at this moment to be in her best interest.

"Kawaguchi Shoko, do you really dare to say that what you did today was in accordance with school rules and regulations and that you were diligently carrying out your duties as a disciplinary committee member?"

Although still surprised by Gwen's superior strength, which allowed him to defeat several Disciplinary Committee members before she could even help, Raiden Mei immediately spoke up when she saw her former friend still trying to frame her. Worried that the impulsive Gwen might fall into a trap, she coldly questioned her former friend.

"Certainly."

As the daughter of a prominent family, Kawaguchi Shoko had been engaged in family feuds for many years, was clearly much more thick-skinned than Raiden Mei. She remained unfazed, even retracting her retreating steps, straightening her chest, and speaking with righteous indignation.

"As one of the Student Council leaders in charge of discipline, I have an obligation to maintain the campus discipline of the Senba Academy and to investigate any behavior that may corrupt the school's atmosphere."

Raiden Mei, if you have any objections to this, you can report it to the Student Council and request an investigation into me.

Before that, I must uphold my responsibilities.

Although the wails of her minions on the ground made Kawaguchi Shoko panic, she still stood tall and met Raiden Mei's gaze without backing down.

Even though the situation has spiraled out of control, caused by that idiot Hayama's impulsiveness, Kawaguchi Shoko can only insist that she acted entirely out of selfless devotion.

At worst, the blame can be shifted to Hayama afterward, since he was the one who acted independently, not the one who gave the order. In the end, it will just be a matter of poor discipline.

"You..."

Originally, Raiden Mei thought her former friend was just good at putting on an act, but she never expected him to be so shameless. She was furious and her chest heaved, but she didn't know how to expose him.

Fortunately, unlike last time when she was falsely accused, this time Raiden Mei has Gwen by her side—

Unlike Raiden Mei, who was helpless against the shameless Kawaguchi Shoko, Gwen merely sneered, took two steps forward, and raised his hand—

"Smack!"

A slap landed on Kawaguchi Shoko's face, whose innocent beauty was not much inferior to Raiden Mei's, causing the righteous and stern discipline minister to stagger.

Gwen, the perpetrator, casually pulled a tissue from his pocket, wiped the hand that had committed the crime, and then crumpled the tissue, which was slightly stained with chemicals, into a ball and threw it at the victim.

Then, without even glancing at Kawaguchi Shoko, who had been slapped quite hard, Gwen turned to look at Raiden Mei beside him:

"Thunderbolt, where is the school clinic?"

"Yuan, are you injured?"

Where? Is it serious?

Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei, who was still frowning and thinking about how to help the two of them reduce their punishment, looked at Gwen with some concern, not wanting Gwen to be injured after being implicated by her.

"The last thing I hit was too hard, and my hand seems to have dislocated a bit."

Gwen frowned as he rubbed the wrist of the hand he had just wiped with a tissue.

"..."

Raiden Mei paused for a moment—the last thing she hit?

However, looking at Gwen's hand, Raiden Mei quickly realized that he was saying that Kawaguchi Shoko was too shameless.

Suppressing the urge to laugh, Raiden Mei took a half-step closer, getting even closer:

"Yuan-kun, I have some experience in treating simple external injuries from my time practicing swordsmanship. Why don't you let me take a look..."

Although she didn't intend to escalate the conflict to this extent, now that things have come to this, Raiden Mei had no intention of blaming Gwen. She was just thinking about how to deal with the Student Council's accountability and even the school's questioning.

Although the head of the grade and even the principal had always been kind and gentle to her, like a kind elder, Raiden Mei, having come to terms with some realities, knew that it was probably more because of her father and his ME Company.

But now...

However, although she felt a little more worried, Raiden Mei's mood was more relaxed than before, and the smile on her lips softened.

Meanwhile, Kawaguchi Shoko, whose head was still a little dizzy but whose hearing wasn't significantly affected, had a flushed face—

The bulging side is from being hit, and the other side is from being angry.

However, having failed in the direct confrontation, Kawaguchi Shoko did not utter any boastful cries of a defeated dog. Instead, her lowered eyes were filled with resentment as she considered how to deal with the two of them when she returned to the Student Council.

Just then, a white-haired girl humming an unknown tune appeared lightly at the end of the path.

However, when the girl with excellent eyesight saw the group ahead, she subconsciously frowned. Instead of avoiding trouble like most Japanese students, she quickened her pace and went to meet them, shouting loudly:

"What are you doing!"

Chapter 139 I'm not here to break them up, I'm here to join them.

As an "outsider," Kiana didn't have a good time at the Senba Academy.

Although Kiana initially gained popularity among male students due to her outstanding appearance when she first transferred to the school.

However, after Kiana rejected numerous confessions and even kicked away a guy who was about to force himself on her, the tide turned and the rumors began to circulate about Kiana as a rude and clueless European barbarian.

Kiana didn't really care. She was there to find her father anyway; enrolling was just an accident. If she couldn't find him within two months, Kiana was prepared to leave anyway.

Although she didn't care about the gossip, the incident involving Asakura Miyuki Year still left Kiana with a bad impression of the school—beneath its glamorous exterior lay too much ugliness.

However, even so, when Kiana saw someone being beaten, she rushed forward without hesitation after receiving Siegfried's "Caslana Honor" education since she could remember.

However, as she approached, Kiana involuntarily slowed her pace—

She seemed to know everyone present.

She's a disciplinary committee member who caught her being late and sleeping in class several times, and Kiana doesn't get a good impression of her.

Raiden Mei, a "popular figure" at school, was targeted by Kiana herself for speaking up for her, but Kiana only saw her from afar and did not speak to her.

Kiana was more familiar with Gwen than with him because of their meeting a couple of days ago.

Between the two, Kiana has a slightly higher preference for the Gwen Raiden Mei combination.

Although there were many rumors about Raiden Mei at school, Kiana, who had never seen her in person, didn't really believe them. Moreover, Kiana instinctively felt that there was something wrong with such rumors.

However, those lying on the ground all seem to be members of the Disciplinary Committee, while the only ones who could have done the beating were Gwen and Raiden Mei. This left Kiana somewhat confused; what exactly was going on?

Although Kiana didn't really like the arrogant disciplinary committee members, beating them up directly... wasn't that a bit too harsh?

"Kiana, please stop here. Someone is attacking a member of the Disciplinary Committee. Please report this to the Student Affairs Office immediately."

Seeing Kiana, who was usually a troublemaker, Kawaguchi Shoko found herself finding her somewhat agreeable.

Although her head was still a little dizzy, her thoughts were still relatively clear, and she immediately began to establish her persona, trying to portray herself as the lawful and benevolent party in the eyes of Kiana, a third party.

However, despite her best efforts to act, Kiana didn't believe the one-sided story of this disciplinary committee leader whom she didn't particularly like. Instead, she looked hesitantly at Gwen and Raiden Mei, who were standing very close to her.

Wasn't it me who was explaining Raiden Mei's situation to Gwen yesterday?

How come these two ended up together today?

Under Kiana's questioning gaze, Raiden Mei suddenly realized that she seemed to be standing too close to Gwen. She let go of Gwen's hand and quietly took a half step back, creating some distance.

Gwen looked at the Kiana that had suddenly rushed out, feeling a little strange—

"Could it be... that the first formal meeting between the Kiana and the cook was because of today's events?"

"So, does this mean I've sabotaged the formation of the Destined Protagonist group?"

Thinking to himself, Gwen glanced at his points balance... hadn't changed much?
