The rain was still falling.
After crushing two heads in an instant, the Faceless Man showed not the slightest hint of madness.
On the contrary, he caught the rain drifting down from the sky and wiped his bloodstained hands.
Once he had finished, he turned to face Jiangnan.
In the end, his gaze settled on the metal badge at Jiangnan's trench coat collar.
"Hmm?"
The Faceless Man stroked his chin, seeming to inspect it, yet also seeming to recall something.
"Chinese Class Representative... Are you that brute Fujino's disciple?"
He straightened his tie and slowly walked over to Jiangnan.
Huala.
To everyone's surprise, this ghost Principal actually gave Jiangnan a gentlemanly bow.
"My apologies."
His voice was no longer shrill, but low and cultured.
"That uncouth fellow slipped out while I was sleeping this morning and went a little wild."
"He caused you trouble and gave you quite a fright."
"Now that he has come to his senses, he has hidden himself away again."
"As the Principal of Rose Middle School, I offer you my most sincere apologies for that loss of composure just now."
Jiangnan looked at him coldly, his mind racing.
"A split personality... or twin souls?"
"The black persona is clearly the high-IQ type that values reason and rules."
"And... he places great importance on this badge."
Since that was the case...
Without hesitation, Jiangnan pulled out a note.
[Your other half frightened me. I have suffered severe psychological trauma.]
[I am applying to go to the infirmary for treatment.]
The Faceless Man peeled off the note. Not only was he not angry, he seemed even more remorseful.
"Indeed."
"As Principal, allowing the school's finest student to be frightened is a failure of my duty."
He shifted slightly to the side and made a gesture of invitation.
