"A perfectly normal occurrence."
Dark curled the corner of his lips into a smile.
When those students had planned their prank, they surely had not expected the new teaching assistant to report the matter directly to the vice principal.

Dark naturally chose whatever method was most convenient.
After being suddenly summoned to the vice principal's office, those children must have been terribly nervous and afraid, right?
But being afraid was exactly as it should be.
