Daily life in Zongman

As she was about to walk to the podium, she was blocked. Fujiwara Haru walked to the podium before her. While they were looking at each other and talking, he had already pulled out his precious sword from his desk.

The Ice Soul Sword, the second of the Seven Swords, boasts a narrow blade and a sharp edge. When wielded, it creates a mesmerizing sound like an icy zither. Warmed by ice and snow, and sealed with talismans, now is the time to unleash it against the evil!

"Holding a three-foot-long sword, I will slay all the injustices in the world!"

Fujiwara Haru learned this sentence when he was playing with his classmates in another elementary school. He thought it was very cool and had memorized it for a long time. Now he could finally shout it out.

snort~

The Ice Soul Sword was released from its seal, and Fujiwara Haru pulled it out and swung it. Snowflakes drifted and filled the entire classroom. He was now the Rainbow Cat Hero, punishing evil and promoting good!

"Hello? Hey! What are you doing!?"

"Wait, wait, Fujiwara-san, don't do anything stupid!"

"do not want!"

Amid their shouts, Fujiwara Haru rushed forward and said, "I'm obviously going to beat you up, who wants to chat with you!"

At the moment when Fujiwara Haru rushed forward, Nishimiya Shoko, who was standing behind him, clearly heard her own heartbeat for the second time.

Plop…plop, plop!

Violent, fast, and surging!

She watched Fujiwara Haru rush forward, waving a popsicle amidst the tattered newspapers and snowflakes, beating up Ishida Masaya and also beating up the four people who tried to stop him.

There is no beautiful picture, no handsome moves, and no gentleness.

But in the eyes of Nishimiya Naoko, all this was indeed so beautiful. It was the most beautiful scene she had ever seen, and it was also a picture that was engraved in her heart.

So handsome.

This was the only thought left in Nishimiya Shoko's mind.

22. It’s not the children who are wrong, it’s the adults’ worldliness.

"I did nothing wrong, I'm not apologizing!"

"you you you!"

Teacher Takeuchi looked at Fujiwara Haru standing upright before him, his face grim as he took deep breaths. Even after understanding the entire situation, he didn't think Fujiwara Haru had done the right thing. If someone teased a classmate, couldn't they just warn them verbally? Couldn't they report it to the teacher? Why did they resort to violent assault? Even if the intention was good, the moment violence was used, the impact of the incident was completely different!

Forget it. Right or wrong is not important at this moment. What is important is to apologize quickly and make a big thing small. As an adult, he just wants to minimize the impact of the incident.

However, Fujiwara Haru refused to apologize. He held his head high, stood straight, and looked stubborn, refusing to apologize.

Finally, Teacher Takeuchi could only sigh a sigh of relief and pick up the phone. Six students had gotten into a fight, and five had been injured. Ishida Masaya was also left with a black eye and swollen face. This was an extremely serious incident, and if the "culprit" Fujiwara Haru refused to apologize, then all the parents would have to be called to the school.

Let the parents handle the negotiation themselves, he can just say a few words from the sidelines.

During the second class in the afternoon, Fujiwara Haru stood in the office for the entire class. His feet were a little sore, and he heard the sound of the office door being pushed open.

"What happened to my daughter?! Where's my daughter?"

An auntie rushed in. She looked a bit like Ueno Naoka. Fujiwara Haru guessed that she was Ueno Naoka's mother.

Afterwards, many aunts and uncles arrived one after another. They shouted at the teacher, some glared at him fiercely, and one even cursed: "Uneducated thing! Barbaric and vulgar!"

Fujiwara Haru curled his lips. This guy was obviously not following his ideals and making trouble. He couldn't beat him, so he kept silent.

In the end, all these parents went to the health room. Fujiwara Haru treated everyone equally and beat up all five people involved in the bullying incident. Among them, he beat Ishida Shoya the hardest. Now all five of them are in the health room treating their wounds.

After waiting for a while, Nishimiya Shoko's mother, Nishimiya Yaeko, finally arrived. She was a nurse by profession, and even if she took leave, it would be difficult for her to arrive quickly because she had to finish her work first.

The parents of the six children gathered in the meeting room. They communicated and argued with the teacher, and finally fell silent.

Among them, Shimada Ikki's father looked at Fujiwara Haru and asked, "Where are your parents? Why haven't they come yet?"

Fujiwara Haru had no seat and had been standing against the wall. When he heard the question, he looked up, then lowered his head and continued counting the squares on the floor.

"In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with Fujiwara. It's your child who bullied my child. This is school bullying. Do you still want to rely on your adult status to continue bullying a child?!"

The strong Yaeko Nishimiya responded to the parent. Her words were very harsh, using the term "school bullying", which is a very serious term no matter which country it is.

Shimada's father grumbled, "It was that Ishida kid who asked my child to write it! And he didn't want to!"

Nishimiya Yaeko stood up and stared at Shimada's father. "If he doesn't want to write, he doesn't have to! I'm not forcing him to write! If he writes, he's actually participating in this school bullying!"

She kept on biting the word school bullying, she would not allow them to downplay this incident as a child's prank. This argument had been going on for a long time, and now it was just a repetition of what had been said before.

Shimada's father yelled, "No matter what, it's wrong for him to hit someone! Hurry and call your parents!"

Nishimiya Yaeko frowned at him. "In the final analysis, you just want compensation, right? Okay, this incident happened because your children bullied my daughter. This is undeniably evil! You were the ones who did the wrong thing first, so you apologize first, and then I'll pay for the medical expenses if you get beaten!"

Fujiwara Haru looked at Nishimiya Yaeko and felt that what she said was reasonable and domineering, much more impressive than herself who took a long time to react before refuting her.

They started arguing again. Fujiwara Haru, who didn't care much about their quarrel, looked out the window and found that the sun had dyed the sky orange.

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and Ishida Masaya's mother, Ishida Miyako, walked into the conference room with Ishida, who had recovered, and they walked directly in front of Nishimiya Yaeko.

"I'm sorry. This was my son's fault, and it was also my fault in my upbringing. I sincerely apologize for his behavior in bullying your daughter. I'm truly sorry!"

She bowed deeply with her head lowered very low. Ishida, who was beside her, turned his head to the other side and whispered "I'm sorry."

Fujiwara Haru looked over and felt a little surprised. He thought Ishida's mother would be as unreasonable as Shimada's father.

The meeting room fell silent, and no one spoke until Nishimiya Yaeko sighed and said, "I hate you, but I accept your apology."

Ishida Miyako stood up, said goodbye to her homeroom teacher, Takeuchi-sensei, and left the meeting room with Ishida Shoya. Then, the mother of class monitor Kawai also took Kawai Miki's hand and walked over to Nishimiya's mother. They both apologized and left the meeting room.

The parents of the other three people then left the meeting room one after another. They did not apologize or argue anymore, and Yaeko Nishimiya did not stop them. In the end, only the homeroom teacher, Mr. Takeuchi, Yaeko Nishimiya, and Haru Fujiwara were left in the meeting room.

Nishimiya Yaeko walked up to Fujiwara Haru and bowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, thank you for protecting my daughter."

Fujiwara Haru felt a little uneasy. He felt that he had only fulfilled his promise to Uncle Daliang to stop the bullying. Being a bit "naive", he didn't yet think that actions should be judged by heart. He felt a little embarrassed to be thanked for saving someone when he hadn't done it out of his own will.

"No...you're welcome."

Yaeko Nishimiya stood up, said a few more words and then left. In the end, only the homeroom teacher, Mr. Takeuchi, and Fujiwara Haru were left in the meeting room.

Mr. Takeuchi lit a cigarette, took a puff, and looked at Fujiwara Haru: "What's going on with your parents? I can't reach them by phone, and my employer said they no longer work there."

The meeting room was silent for a long time. After a while, Mr. Takeuchi threw his cigarette into the ashtray and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Troublesome."

His voice was soft, but his tone betrayed dislike and disgust. He disliked students who disrespected him, and he also disliked students who were troublesome. In his opinion, Fujiwara Haru was both of these. Even if he had good grades and a decent character, he was still troublesome, and he disliked her intensely because she was always disobedient and causing trouble.

"Pack up. I'm going to your house for a home visit. Don't think about running away like last time, unless you don't come to school anymore."

After he finished speaking, he left the meeting room. Fujiwara Haru lowered his head and returned to the classroom in a bad mood, packing his schoolbag.

When I walked out of the classroom with my schoolbag, I found that Mr. Takeuchi was already waiting at the door. He raised his head and gestured with his chin: "Let's go."

Fujiwara Haru's mood became even worse. He walked in front dejectedly, kicking pebbles with his feet, and moved towards the unfinished building step by step.

He didn't want to talk about his parents, nor did he want to be seen living in an unfinished building. All of this would expose his scars and show his miserable past to others. He didn't like it, but he couldn't resist. As the homeroom teacher, Mr. Takeuchi was the one he couldn't resist, unless he didn't want to go to school anymore.

He also wants to be admitted to the University of Tokyo.

The "naive" Fujiwara Haru still remembers his goal and wants to work hard to achieve it.

Dejected, he arrived at the unfinished building where he lived. As he was about to go in, Mr. Takeuchi's voice behind him was clearly filled with anger: "Fujiwara! How naughty can you be! Now, immediately, take me to your house! I want to talk to your parents!"

Fujiwara Haru muttered, "This is my home..."

His shoulders were grabbed, and he couldn't resist the adult's strength. The dilapidated fence gate was right in front of him, but he couldn't move forward.

Behind him was Mr. Takeuchi's angry voice: "Fujiwara Haru, do you think it's fun to tease the teacher?"

His shoulders hurt a little, and he lowered his head. He had no choice but to talk about the past that he didn't want to mention: "My parents..."

"let go,"

The hand on the shoulder was opened, and some ice crystal fragments floated past Fujiwara Haru's eyes. They were crystal clear and sparkled in the dusk.

23. Kind people will eventually be treated kindly by the world

Fujiwara Haru disliked Mr. Takeuchi. He was unfriendly and unfair. He even threw his Ice Soul Sword, which had been broken into two pieces due to excessive force, into the trash can without giving him the chance to repair it with glue.

He's a terrible adult.

But he is the homeroom teacher, the homeroom teacher of Class 6-2, more specifically, the homeroom teacher of Fujiwara Haru.

The identity of a teacher is naturally oppressive, not to mention that the teacher is in charge of him, who is tall and strong, so he has no way to resist.

He was not afraid of finding his parents, but was afraid of being expelled from school. Fujiwara Haru had no choice but to listen to him. He stood in the meeting room for a long time, and then took him to where he lived. He was even forced to tell him about his past.

Fujiwara Haru dislikes Teacher Takeuchi to the point of being afraid of him. He even has some "cowardly" fantasies in his heart: if only the dean were here, he would stand up for him.

Last night, he got into a fight at another elementary school. Someone accused him of stealing something he hadn't stolen, but a girl yelled in front of the class that he had. The whole class pointed fingers at him, and the teacher demanded he apologize. Furious, he beat up the girl who had accused him, and was then taken to the teacher's office for a lecture.

"You didn't steal anything, so why are you so anxious? I think you stole it!"

"Naughty! You're a lawless brat! You must tell your parents about this!"

"What do you mean you did nothing wrong? She framed you! It takes two to tango! Think carefully about what you did wrong!"

Snapped,

After hearing everything, the dean slapped the teacher in the face. He said calmly, "One slap can make a loud noise. You have no talent or moral integrity. You are not worthy of being a teacher."

Takeuchi: "Ms. Yukino, as I just said, your brother got into two fights at school in the past month and is very violent and vicious. This time he caused such a big trouble and didn't apologize after doing something wrong. This is really immoral."

Snapped,

After hearing everything, Yukino Shindong slapped Takeuchi in the face. Her tone was cold: "I don't think he's wrong. You're the one who's wrong."

"He was right to fight against bullying."

"He was fighting to help his classmates, and that was the right thing to do."

"And you, as the homeroom teacher, turned a blind eye to the situation within the class and adopted a laissez-faire attitude, allowing bullying to occur among the students. When it escalated to the point of violence, you came out and said it was the students' fault, completely clearing yourself of any responsibility."

"You have no talent or moral integrity, you are not worthy of being a teacher!"

Fujiwara Haru, who was standing behind Yukino Shinfuyu, looked up at her. She completely blocked the scene in front of her. The frightened Teacher Takeuchi could no longer see anything. He could only see her light blue hair scattered on her back and hear her cold words.

The figure of the dean's grandfather gradually overlapped with her back, and for a moment Fujiwara Haru could not tell whether she was dreaming or in reality.

Teacher Takeuchi was about to say something, but Yukino Fuyu waved her hand and froze his feet: "That ice won't melt in half an hour."

His hand was held, and Fujiwara Haru was led away from the door of the unfinished building with a slight force. He kept looking back at Takeuchi's feet, where two ice rings were restraining them.

Teacher Takeuchi's face was filled with shock, as if he had seen something extraordinary, but Fujiwara Haru was thinking: [Special abilities do exist!]

"Tiga definitely exists, right? I'm going to find a chance to learn from him, and become a great hero after mastering the Fire Dance Whirlwind! No, no, I should become a Taoist priest and learn the seventy-two transformations like Sun Wukong!"

His thoughts were so jumpy at this moment, instantly jumping from modern Ultraman to ancient martial arts heroes, and then to the realm of cultivating immortals. Children's worldviews are inherently imperfect, and as someone who loves watching cartoons, he instantly accepted the existence of extraordinary abilities.

Yukino walked in a hurry in the middle of winter, and Fujiwara Haru felt that she was a little flustered. It was not until she turned into an alley where there was no one around that he heard her let out a long sigh and stroke her chest gently.

She was really nervous. She had some social barriers and was not good at communication. She found it incredible that she could finish a long string of words fluently and quickly. Now that she has calmed down and thinks back on it, she doesn't know how she could have been so courageous and smart just now.

Looking at Fujiwara Haru whose hand she was holding, she did not let go. She held her hand and squatted down, looking straight at her: "Um... I'm sorry... I just said I was your sister without discussing it..."

Fujiwara Haru shook his head to show that he didn't care. He was actually quite happy. He saw Miss Yukino again, and she helped him. He felt really happy.

Yukino Fuyu breathed a sigh of relief, moving around Fujiwara Haru and observing him, "Were you injured during the fight?"

Are you injured?

Fujiwara Haru opened his mouth, his body a little stiff. This was the first time anyone cared if he was injured. When he went to save Meima, no one cared that he was soaked. When he went to save Katsura Kotonoha, no one cared that his shoes were soaked with water. When he went to help Nishimiya Shoko, no one cared how many times he was hit back.

Everyone was grateful to him, but no one cared about the "details".

Only Yukino Shindong, after hearing what happened today, was concerned about whether he was injured.

Fujiwara Haru didn't know why his nose felt sore, and his voice was very dry: "No..."

Yukino Shendong relaxed a little. She asked quietly, "I have something I want to discuss with Fujiwara-kun. Can you come to my house first?"

She did not directly state her purpose. Instead, she used a little trick and planned to take the man home first and talk after the door was locked.

Fujiwara Haru didn't say anything, sniffed and nodded, then followed Miss Yukino all the way back to her home. When they got home, she said they would talk after dinner, so she sat in the living room and waited quietly.

The dinner was very sumptuous: Mapo tofu + thick-cut pork chops + steamed egg with minced meat + cold celery + cabbage egg drop soup.

After checking his pocket to make sure that the 100,000 yen he earned at noon was enough to pay the bill, Fujiwara Haru felt relieved and ate to his heart's content. He was then gently reminded to chew slowly and not to gobble it down.

Correcting bad habits is a difficult thing. Xue No Shendong knows this. She decides to take it slowly, supplemented by encouragement and rewards, and slowly modify this bad habit.

"Thank you very much."

After the meal, Fujiwara Haru expressed his sincere gratitude and handed over 10,000 yen. He didn't know how much this meal would cost, but he was really grateful to Miss Yukino for helping him out.
