When Ishizaki saw Ryuuen arrive, his tone immediately hardened, carrying the air of someone borrowing a tiger's authority. "You bumped into someone and don't know how to apologize? Didn't your mother teach you that?"
"You did that on purpose, didn't you? What the hell." Sudo had quite the temper as well.
Ike, meanwhile, pulled Sudo back and bowed to Ishizaki. "We're very sorry. We didn't notice that we bumped into you."
"Your bag bumped into me. Why bring such a huge bag when you're here to swim? Running into you guys is seriously bad luck."
"What business is it of yours how big our bag is? Nosy bastard. Ike already apologized, so get lost already." Sudo looked thoroughly displeased. He had never had a good impression of the boys in Class C, so naturally he did not show them a friendly face.
Ryuuen also noticed that something was off about the Class D boys. Sudo's reaction was far too intense; he was desperate to make Ishizaki leave.
"You wouldn't happen to be carrying contraband, or planning to do something bad, would you?" Ryuuen walked up to Ike and tried to inspect his bag.
Yamauchi Haruki, who had been standing silently beside the other two Class D boys, stepped in front of Ryuuen. "Ryuuen-sensei, there are only a few water guns in the bag."
"Is that so? Then let me play with your water guns." Ryuuen casually shoved Yamauchi Haruki aside.
Sudo jumped out again at that moment. "All our personal belongings are in this bag. If you dare snatch it, Ryuuen, I'll report you to the school for invading our privacy!"
Sudo had rarely been so quick-witted under pressure, but unfortunately, Ryuuen had already guessed what they were planning. Whether he searched their bag or not did not matter at
