During the break, Private Toyogasaki, teachers' office.
Perhaps it was just her imagination, but Mafuyu Kirisu had been getting headaches from time to time lately. For instance, right now—watching the four students Shizuka Hiratsuka had called into the office was giving her a splitting headache.
According to Hiratsuka-sensei's account, this was probably another case of campus bullying.
Perpetrator: Sogo Doma.
Victims: Takuya Fujigami, Utaha Kasumigaoka.
Witness: Yukino Yukinoshita.
The witness, Yukino Yukinoshita, spoke first. "I guarantee that everything I'm about to say is true. I will not lie. I personally witnessed how Sogo Doma knocked both Fujigami and Kasumigaoka unconscious!"
The suspect, Sogo Doma, argued, "Miss Yukino, may I ask how I supposedly knocked them out without injuring them? They don't even have a bump!"
Yukino Yukinoshita held her fingers together like a blade and demonstrated. "You went 'bonk,' just like this!"
Mafuyu Kirisu: "..."
