"Manabe-san, please help me."
Morofuji-san cried and ran towards Manabe-san. Just as Maezono was about to reach out and grab Morofuji-san, Maezono's hand suddenly felt intense pain coming from the back of her hand.
A crisp slap sound attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone saw the petite girl glaring fiercely at Maezono.
"Ibuki-san!"
Ibuki Mio usually had a very bad relationship with Morofuji-san and Manabe-san.
But at this moment, Ibuki-san's help greatly boosted the confidence of Manabe-san and the others.
Even though they disliked Ibuki Mio's tomboyish demeanor, they also knew that Ibuki Mio was the only girl who dared to resist Ryuuen-san with violence and earned his recognition. With Ibuki-san there, Karuizawa-san and her ilk couldn't stir up any trouble.
"Hey, you guys are going too far. Morofuji-san has already been bullied to this extent. Let's end this here."
After Ibuki-san finished speaking, she picked up her tray and was about to leave. Just then, a remark from Shinohara-san reignited the conflict.
"You say it's over, and it's over? Why can you make Karuizawa-san kneel, but we can't make that Morofuji-san kneel? Besides, she deserved it, didn't she? If she hadn't taken advantage of her numbers to bully Karuizawa-san and made excessive demands, would any of this have happened?"
Just as Shinohara-san was about to say a few more words to vent, there was a loud clang.
Ibuki-san directly smashed her tray at Shinohara-san's feet. The drinks and food from the tray instantly stained Shinohara-san's pant leg and shoes.
"Ugh, you lunatic! Do you know what you're doing? Damn it, this grease won't come off!!!"
While Shinohara-san was busy wiping her pant leg with a tissue, a pair of white sneakers appeared in her sight. Immediately after, Shinohara-san's collar was forcibly grabbed by Ibuki-san with brute force and pulled up. Shinohara-san, who was bending over to clean the stains, was instantly yanked up by Ibuki-san.
"Don't you need my apology?"
Ibuki-san's icy eyes instantly silenced Shinohara-san, and even Maezono gritted her teeth, not daring to say a word.
Manabe-san and Morofuji-san, seeing that Karuizawa-san's side was completely suppressed, Morofuji-san took two steps and slapped Maezono across the face.
"That's for bullying me just now."
Morofuji-san revealed a look of satisfaction.
Manabe-san and the other two girls also looked triumphantly at the sudden reversal of the situation.
Maezono covered her face and glared at Morofuji-san, but when she saw Ibuki-san's gaze shift towards them, even in her anger, Maezono had to endure it.
The other party initiated violence; as long as they preserved evidence and reported their violent behavior to the teachers, it would be fine. Just endure a little longer, just a little longer.
"I said..."
"Shut up! Did I give you permission to speak? Hey, don't play dead, answer me quickly."
Karuizawa-san originally wanted to mediate, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a fierce shout from Ibuki-san made her retreat a few steps, not daring to speak again.
Ibuki-san looked at Karuizawa-san with contempt, then loudly questioned Shinohara-san in front of her.
Ibuki-san's voice attracted other acquaintances.
"Ibuki-san? Are you guys fighting? What's happening here?"
Ishizaki-san and Albert-san, seeing that Ibuki-san seemed to be in a conflict, quickly walked over.
Maezono's face immediately turned pale when she saw that boys from Class C had joined the dispute.
It seemed they had encountered a tough opponent this time.
"I don't know either. This woman was very unfriendly to me, so I taught her a lesson. For other matters, you should ask Morofuji-san."
Ibuki-san still didn't understand what had happened, but she was annoyed by Shinohara-san's arrogant lecturing.
Who was she to lecture Ibuki Mio?
Ishizaki-san had a headache and was about to ask Morofuji-san when he heard a voice that made him tremble.
"Yo, what, still fighting here? Is food meant to be wasted like this?"
Amane-san, hands in pockets, casually walked to the table laden with food.
She casually picked up a fried chicken piece that looked very appetizing and put it in her mouth, chewing.
For a moment, the entire No. 1 cafeteria was so quiet that only Amane-san's chewing could be heard.
Many of the onlookers had already begun to quietly leave.
Those who were dining also lowered their heads, concentrating on enjoying their meals as if they hadn't noticed the commotion that had just occurred.
Ishizaki-san looked at the changes around him in surprise. He hadn't expected Amane-san's influence to have grown so much.
Even students from Class A avoided Amane-san, fearing they would be dragged into disputes between other classes.
"Miyako-san, you're here too. I really don't know what happened here. Albert-san and I just came to eat..."
Ishizaki-san didn't know why he felt the need to explain to Amane-san, but he had a feeling that something bad would happen if he didn't.
"It's fine, I don't know either, but I can solve the problem."
"Huh?"
Ishizaki-san showed an expression of 'Do you know what you're saying?' Amane-san didn't know anything about the situation and was going to solve the problem without even asking. Wasn't that a bit exaggerated... wait, Amane-san wasn't planning to solve the problem by punching everyone, was she?
"Miyako-san, I think they're just having a minor spat. It's not necessary to use violence to solve the problem."
"Huh? Do you see me as a savage who only uses brute force?"
Amane-san rolled her eyes at Ishizaki-san, who mumbled a few words and dared not speak again.
After all, the punch that almost sent him to meet his great-grandmother was still fresh in Ishizaki-san's memory.
"Ibuki-san, let go first."
Amane-san's first command was for Ibuki-san to release her hand.
Ibuki-san, with her back to Amane-san, showed a ferocious expression.
Then, reluctantly, she let go of Shinohara-san's collar. The next second, Ibuki-san took two quick steps, then delivered a beautiful roundhouse kick towards Amane-san's head.
"Ibuki-san!"
"Oh no!"
Ishizaki-san and Albert-san immediately moved, but they were still a step too late.
Thud!!!
Ibuki-san's face made intimate contact with the stained floor.
Amane-san pressed down on Ibuki-san's head with one hand, rubbing her face repeatedly on the floor.
"I am now, in my capacity as a disciplinary committee member, intervening with violent actions against Ibuki Mio, a first-year student from Class C."
When Ishizaki-san heard Amane-san invoke her role as a disciplinary committee member, his face crumpled. How was he supposed to plead for her now?
Albert-san, on the other hand, looked at Amane-san with shining eyes.
Amane-san's counterattack just now was truly beautiful.
First, she tilted her head to avoid Ibuki-san's roundhouse kick, then grabbed Ibuki-san and pulled her close, extended her leg forward, and gently pushed with her palm. Ibuki-san, standing on one leg, immediately fell backward. At that moment, Amane-san suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Ibuki-san's hair, and using her own strength, spun Ibuki-san's body half a turn before slamming her onto the ground.
That's right, slammed.
It looked very complex but was completed in mere seconds. Finally, she could keep Ibuki-san from getting up just by pressing down on her head, which showed how much force Amane-san used.
And the reason Amane-san only used one hand throughout was probably because her other hand was holding food, and she was afraid of getting grease on Ibuki-san's school uniform, so she subdued Ibuki-san with one hand.
Such a fluid counterattack was something he, Albert, could never achieve.
Seeing Amane-san get serious, some of the onlookers had already started calling the teachers, but what puzzled them was that no matter which teacher they called, no one answered, as if all the teachers had disappeared, which was strange.
