For Duanmu Huai, this was nothing more than an utterly ordinary matter. As long as nobody had died, he could not be bothered to intervene. Although Sato had not actually killed Kuzuryu Natsumi because of Duanmu Huai, and had only acted on impulse, no matter how one looked at it, it was still attempted murder.
After discussing the matter privately, both sides decided that Sato would withdraw from school.
As for Kuzuryu Natsumi...
When Kuzuryu Natsumi appeared before Duanmu Huai again, she had completely lost her previous smug expression. Although she had been furious at the time, once she had come to her senses and realized that she had walked right past the gates of hell, she had become quite frightened. Besides, she had spouted off and offended quite a few students before. It was not as though she had only provoked Sato. In the past, she had thought, So what if I offend them? I'm a member of the Kuzuryu Group. What can they do to me?
As it turned out, someone really had dared to kill her!
If Duanmu Huai had not blocked that blow, Kuzuryu Natsumi would have become Corpse A by now.
Who wouldn't be afraid after that?
It could be said that although Sato's club had not killed her, it had completely shattered her defenses. Now, everyone looked like a potential murderer to her, but Kuzuryu Natsumi was too embarrassed to swallow her pride and ask for reconciliation. Moreover, if something really happened to her here, her brother would have trouble cleaning up the mess. After thinking it over again and again, she decided it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Pride was still less important than her life.
Still, she was sensible enough to come and thank Duanmu Huai before leaving.
"Hmm..."
