Chapter 1800 Catching by words

”Hmm? What’s the matter, senpai?”

Ignoring how the pompous idiot came off like a dog barking at me, I tilted my head as though I had just noticed him. Acknowledging his existence while being nonchalant about it could surely provoke him but who cares, no?

My initial plan was to pretend not to see him or any of his goons and continue to the Club Building after crashing and stomping him to the ground.

That was better, no? It’s a surefire way to provoke them. In the end, fists would be thrown at me. However, if I did that, it would look like I started it all by taking down the idiot first. Hence, I switched it up like this.

While remaining vigilant about the eight thugs surrounding me, I stared at the idiotic clown and waited for his answer.

“Don’t pretend you’re only seeing me now! Where is she?”

“Oh. Are you talking about Marika-senpai? Well… she’s not here.”

I glanced behind me as though searching for the girl’s figure before facing him back and shrugged.

A vein popped out of Ichihara Jun’s temple. His rage was bubbling up but he looked like he was wary about me. So, he didn’t forget, huh?

“This kid thinks he’s funny.” One of the thugs on my left mockingly laughed at me.

He’s the tallest among them and maybe the strongest among them. He had his hands in his pockets but with his stance, tackling me was well within his reach.

“Boss, you’re afraid of this guy? He has nothing but his face to go on. This is overkill if we ganged up at him.” Another idiot added. Even though his words sounded like he was concerned about my well-being when faced against them, he’s most likely the one who enjoys trampling on those weaker and better looking than him.

Looking at how they were all wearing our uniform, the shitty clown provided them that to not be so conspicuous when they entered our school grounds. He had this plan not just to take Marika by force but also to handle me. It goes to show how afraid he is of me.

“Shut up. Just don’t let him run away. I still have questions for him.” Ichihara Jun spat, silencing the two.

Of course, that displeased them but since he probably paid them a hefty sum to act like his lackeys, they shut their mouths and directed their intimidating gazes at me.

As if that’s going to matter.

“I already answered your question, senpai. Can you move away? I feel like I’m hearing some flies buzzing close to my ears. It’s irritating.” I picked my ears with my pinky finger and flicked the nonexistent ear wax in the direction of the one closest to me.

The thug reflexively dodged it before flaring up in rage.

“What the fuck did you just do?!”

A second later, he clenched his fists and raised his arms to throw a punch.

However…

“Stop!” Ichihara Jun shouted in exasperation. His eyes focused on me or rather, on the smirk hanging on my lips.

He knew what I was doing. Like before, I was waiting for them to throw the first punch. That way, I’ll be justified to kick their asses.

In any case, even if he stopped the guy as they’re just hired thugs, they wouldn’t be able to hold themselves back sooner or later.

I put a hand in my pocket and sneakily fiddled with my phone carefully before straightening my back.

I better wrap this farce up. My girls are waiting for me.

“Senpai, do you want me to tell you again why Marika chose me over you? We have an audience, might as well give them something amusing.” 𝘪𝘳.𝘤𝑜

Instead of answering me, the clown gritted his teeth, holding back his rage. Then, the words that left his mouth were another disappointment.

“Do you still not know your situation?”

He knew intimidation wasn’t working on me but he’s still like this. Thinking about it, he never really saw me going all out. He’s probably in the middle of being wary of me and believing that the eight could take me down. And since I was trying to provoke them, his leaning on the former.

Is he really capable of thinking that deeply? Nah. He’s a spoiled idiot who can only rely on his status, after all. He’s never cunning.

He’s probably just afraid that if a fight broke out, I would come out victorious. That’s why he’s like this. He wanted me to back down and don’t escalate things further.

“Situation? Of course, I know. I’m in the middle of catching eight trespassers.” My eyes made a round, looking at each individual before smirking.

I don’t have my Disciplinary Officer armband with me but who’s to say I cannot use its authority? That position and my face were already publicly known anyway. If they look for it, I’ll just say I forgot about it in my bag.

And since I am dealing with eight idiots who think uniform alone is enough to absolve them of barging into our school grounds, I will be in the right to execute my authority with or without that armband.

“Do you think just because they’re in our uniform, I won’t know that they’re not from here? Senpai, you should’ve just used your followers. You’re wasting your money hiring them just to be beaten up by me. Alright. I’ll give you a chance. Walk away now. I will turn a blind eye to this.”

“Boss! This kid is nuts! Just give us the order! Even if someone saw us beating him up, running away from here is easy.”

Before Ichihara Jun could answer, the one excited thug from earlier jumped up and was showing how ready he was to jump at me.

The one who dodged the imaginary ear wax followed suit while the other six also seemed like they were only waiting for Ichihara Jun’s approval.

Although some of them still think that one or two of them were enough, they wouldn’t allow me a chance to run away.

“How much did Ichihara-senpai pay you?” Ignoring the others, I directed that question to the one I deemed strongest earlier.

He widely grinned, perhaps thinking he got a better business.

“What? Are you going to double it? Now, we’re talking.”

“Nope. I just want to know. For the record. I’d like to know how much he’s willing to take out of his pocket in order to deal with me and force his supposed fiancée to come with him.”

“Fifty.”

“Fifty thousand for each of you? How generous, senpai.” I shook my head and faced Ichihara Jun again. I mean, my part-time job might be earning me more than that but he’s ready to splurge 400k to take me down? Talk about having money.

At this point, his face was now a mix of rage and fear. Did he catch on what I’m trying to do?

No… He’s too much of an idiot to figure out that I have started recording this conversation.

For sure, he was just afraid because even when faced with the threat of eight thugs who were taller and bulkier than me, I was still not faltering.

Ichihara Jun soon clicked his tongue, and as I expected, his next words would be his doom, “What if I pay someone to take care of you and make Marika mine again? That’s my privilege! It’s my right! It’s you who don’t know your place!”

At every word he dropped, the eight thug’s sinister smile gradually formed. They knew what he was going to say next after all.

“Go. Take him down and leave. I’ll handle the aftermath. I’m a generous senior, I’ll bring him to the hospital and pay for his bill. A leg and an arm will do. Also, ruin that smug face of his.”

Upon saying that, the guy laughed deliriously, looking like he already won. He then took a step back to distance himself from what was about to happen or perhaps to take a video of this.

However, when he saw me also grinning as hideously as the other eight, the pompous idiot froze. The realization finally hit him. He looked like he was about to order them to stop but I beat him to it.

“Great. Good job, Ichihara-senpai. As the Disciplinary Officer of this school, it’s my job to keep the school grounds safe and in order. I see eight trespassers here. I’ll take the responsibility to throw them out and report to the principal.”

I put a hand back in my pocket, tapping my phone to stop the recording. That’s more than enough evidence. Following that, before any of the eight could throw their first punch, I jumped back, crashing against the one standing behind me.
