章節 22: Chapter 22: Kiana's Little Confusion
"Hey... hehe, now you can't escape!" Kiana panted, her pupils were bright, and there was light in her eyes.
Akito snorted and turned his head away: "I can run away! If something hadn't tripped me!"
"Want to cheat? Since you lost, you should listen to me."
Akito retorted: "We don't have this agreement. Who said I have to listen to you if I'm arrested? Also, hello, Principal, hello, leader."
There was a gleam in Kiana's eyes, and she nodded and smiled confidently.
"You want to lie to me? The last time was just a coincidence. I don't believe you're so lucky every time. I am going to teach you a lesson now!"
After saying that, Kiana rolled up her sleeves, ready to "show off her skills."
"Stop it! What are you doing? It's class time now. It's fine if you don't want to go to class, but it's disgraceful for boys and girls to fight and tug at each other! Wait... it's you again! It's you again! It's you again!"
Principal Chiba was shaking with anger, pointing at Kiana tremblingly, repeating it three times in fury, his eyes seeming to blaze.
Kiana's whole body stiffened. She turned her head mechanically, forcing an awkward yet polite smile on her face: "Hello, Principal..."
"Okay! Okay! You big-headed ghost! No, hold it in, hold it in, don't be angry..."
At that moment, Akito watched the expression on Principal Chiba's face change from rage to madness, and then quickly from madness to calmness, with a bit of anger in the calmness, and then it became serious and solemn.
Awesome, awesome. It's a pity he didn't become an actor.
The mayor of Nagazora City walked slowly to Akito and Kiana, covering his swollen cheek with his right hand, which was burning.
Then...
In the principal's office, Kiana and Akito were standing in the corner like children who had done something wrong, listening to the principal scolding them.
"Tell me what happened. Tell the truth, or you will bear the consequences!" Principal Chiba said with a stern face.
Mayor Fu had already instructed that Akito must repay the suffering he endured.
Of course, repayment didn't mean the literal sense—it meant bringing him equal benefits. The adult world is all about interests.
That white-haired ball seems to be in good physical condition. If she could bring glory to Nagazora City...
Therefore, Principal Chiba's purpose was very clear. First, he wanted Akito to achieve as much academic success as possible and win the top spot in the upcoming joint examination of eight cities.
Once Akito really got the top spot and publicized it, the entire Chiba Academy and Nagazora City would also benefit from it.
At least the people above would notice. In the long run, more financial allocations would be given to Nagazora City, and the official career of the mayor of Nagazora City would also be easier.
Principal Chiba wasn't worried about Akito's condition at all. Although a million people were taking the joint entrance examination of the eight cities, Akito's talent was obvious to everyone. How could a person who easily won the first prize in an international academic competition not cope with high school questions?
It would be easy to win the top spot with a normal performance. With this, recruiting students for Chiba Academy would become simple and effective.
This would continue to form a virtuous cycle.
But Kiana was the difficult problem to solve. Principal Chiba had initially planned to expel this undisciplined student as a warning to others.
But her relationship with Akito didn't seem simple, so he had to observe for a while.
"What happened? Well... actually, it's nothing, it's just that..." Akito racked his brains for a reasonable excuse.
The point was that the excuses they'd made the first time they were caught had already been ridiculous!
This time, openly challenging his leader and the principal, he should thank his ancestors for not being expelled.
Akito gave Kiana a look and poked her with his elbow.
'Come up with a reason, idiot!'
Kiana returned an embarrassed look and quietly pinched Akito's waist hard.
'How should I know? Isn't this something you're good at? Come up with a solution quickly. I don't want to drop out of school yet.'
Akito had no words to express his pain. 'So, let me be the bad guy.'
'I just ask you, silly lady, to be gentle with me after you turn into a Herrscher of Flamescion...'
'No, let's be more direct. I'm afraid one blow will leave me half-dead, and I'll have to give it another blow...'
'Ahhh, why is my other identity the Herrscher of Domination!'
'It must have been done by miHoYo. This world has never been a good place!'
(TL: Keep calm and blame miHoYo)
After calming down, Akito stood up again, stood in front of Kiana, took a deep breath, and calmly said to Principal Chiba: "This is my fault. I played an inappropriate joke on Kiana because I was playful, which led to the subsequent incident. Now that I think about it calmly, it is indeed my fault. I joked too much and shouldn't joke with my life so easily."
Akito's tone was heavy and tactful as if he wanted to take all the responsibility on himself.
Principal Chiba began to re-examine Akito.
Life, a joke? Could it be that when talking about the elders who passed away in the family, it was indeed an unrealistic joke?
But would Akito really make such a disrespectful joke?
But there was no need for him to say that. Such a statement would only give me a bad impression. No one would tarnish their own image in the eyes of others, right?
'It seems what Akito said is true, but I didn't expect that a good student like Akito would actually be... a little disappointing.'
Principal Chiba sighed. Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say. Akito had already admitted his fault, so what else could he do?
"This won't happen again. You two go now and don't make such a stupid mistake again."
"Thank you, Principal. Let's go." Akito pulled Kiana and quickly walked out of the principal's office, finally relaxing.
"It was a close call. I thought we'd at least be punished and the whole school would be informed or something. I didn't expect it to be so easy." Akito said thankfully.
But when Akito turned his head to look at Kiana, he unexpectedly saw her silent, with her ten slender white fingers jumping and crossing repeatedly like a lost deer.
Kiana lowered her eyes, and her clear blue eyes seemed to be filled with thoughts.
"Thank you." Kiana's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
Akito thought there was something wrong with his ears and confirmed: "You just said thank you, right?"
Kiana admitted openly: "Yeah."
'Is the world going to end?' Akito couldn't help but think. He never thought Kiana could be so sincere in thanking him, even though he asked her repeatedly.
That frankness was totally unlike Kiana.
As if seeing Akito's doubts, Kiana said softly: "You don't have to take all the responsibilities. In the future, the principal will think you're a..."
"A child with a bad nature?" Akito continued.
Kiana nodded and murmured: "Well, actually, I can take some responsibility. The way the principal looked at you just now... was very disappointed."
