Tokyo Wingman King

Asama and Matsueda, the biggest suspects in yesterday's school violence, were taken to the KKIS student union.

The campus police in the room looked no different from the student union's minions.

They were made to stand in a place similar to an approval hall, without even chairs prepared for them.

Seeing that some people were still sorting documents and the table opposite was empty, Asana realized that the person who was leading this illegal trial had not arrived yet.

"Vice Principal Matsueda, has there ever been a vice principal arrested by the student union in the history of our KKIS?"

"."

"Since there is no arrest warrant and we are just asking the student union to ask questions, these police officers standing here seem a bit like decoration. Do you think there is a problem with the procedure?"

"."

It seemed that Matsueda had lost the ability to speak because of the incident of [being taken away by the Student Union as the Vice-Principal], and the word "speechless" was written on his silent face.

A member of the student union interrupted and replied,

"Don't worry, Mr. Kondo. If it's a violation of discipline, the student council will punish you. If it's a violation of the law, the police will handle it."

"Is the school paying for the Student Union's decoration? I've seen works by Jeff Koons, Anish Kapoor, David Hockney, Ed Ruscha, and others."

The girl with the purple headband who interrupted continued to reply,
"These works are usually donated by the school board or the parents' committee. If Mr. Kondo is interested, please come to our student union to check the donation list when you have time."

“Is there a possibility of money laundering?”

".Why do you ask this?"

The Hawkeye man shouted at the two of them,
"Quiet!!!"

Asana made a "hush" gesture to the girl as if nothing had happened, and the girl immediately went from trembling with fear to trembling with anger.

[Courtroom] The double doors on the left opened, and the three people walked to the opposite side of Asama and Matsueda.

Two men and one woman, all of East Asian appearance.

The Japanese-style middle-parted boy in the lead said with a smile,

"Mr. Kondo looks very relaxed."

Asama memorized the names and corresponding registration photos of all the students in KKIS, and naturally knew that the man with a gentle smile was Ariaki Yamagata, the actual manager of the [KID] fraternity.

Just by looking at the last name, Asama knew his identity - the young master of the Yamagata family who had followed the Kujo family closely in recent years, and the one who was beaten to tears by Fuzugawa along with Kisaragi Koto according to legend.

Asama swore that he had no personal grudges in taking the initiative to attack [KID], after all, it was not F-san who was suffering.

The appearance of Ariaki Yamagata made Asana understand that the rotating chairman of the KKIS Student Union this month is the [KID] fraternity.

Considering that most of the bad guys yesterday were [KID] members, it was only right for him, the leader, to step in and solve the problem.

The gangster-flavored [KID] is probably something that the Yamagata family came up with.

"It's OK. It would be even better if there were stools to sit on. By the way, I suggest that teacher chairs be popularized in classrooms."

"I've taken note of Mr. Kondo's advice."

Yamagata Ariaki smiled and turned to Matsueda Masamune.

"Brother Zhengzong, long time no see. You came to school last week, right?"

Asana glanced at Matsueda out of the corner of his eye and thought that this person's relationship with the [Yamagumo Group] was from the Yamagata family, not the Izumo family.

"Ah."

Songzhi snorted indifferently, looked at Yamagata Ariaki and said,

"If you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible. We still have academic affairs on hand."

"Don't worry. Let's find a witness to verify it first."

What witnesses could there be?
The 12 people who were punished yesterday naturally could not confront them, so Asana sent them to the hospital.

He was invisible throughout the crime, so there could be no witnesses.

It's impossible to let the victim identify Asama and Matsueda as the perpetrators, right?

Ariaki Yamagata clapped his hands, the door on the right opened, and three people walked in, a teacher, a security guard, and two boys.

"I went downstairs to buy cigarettes early yesterday morning and saw Vice Principal Matsueda and Teacher Kondo just returning to the dormitory. It was around 1 a.m. The dormitory guard can also testify to this."

The teacher said.

"When I was patrolling the teaching building yesterday, I heard a terrifying creaking sound, but I didn't see anything. I was a little scared and didn't check it out directly. When I asked my colleagues to come to the teaching building, I saw Vice Principal Matsueda and this Kondo teacher leaving."

The security guard said so.

"Well, I can't remember the exact time. My phone was confiscated. I was curled up on the ground with my head in my hands. Suddenly, no one kicked me. I'm not sure if they were waiting for me to raise my head and open my eyes before hitting me. When I came to my senses and stood up, they were already piled up on top of each other, and the team leader had disappeared."

"As for the time. 11:50? I had an appointment to fight with those guys, but they suddenly collapsed. Everyone said it was an evil spirit, I thought it was a blood demon. I smelled blood, but I didn't see any blood. Wasn't the school's swimming pool dyed red?"

The two [human-pigs] replied in this way.

Asama sighed,
"The style of study in our school is really comparable to that of America, very tough. Do you guys like to fight in the middle of the night so much?"

Yamagata Ariaki frowned and added,

"The time of the crime is linear. At 11:11, 15:11, 30:11, and 50:, it is entirely possible that two people attacked students in two different places, but it cannot be ruled out that there was a third person, or more people involved. You two are the most likely to have created a strange scene in the teaching building."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think these people's words can be used as evidence that I hurt my classmates."

Asama spread his hands and continued,
"Student, why don't you suspect these security guards? If they were to attack students, wouldn't their equipment be more convenient? They would have more time to do things like landscaping in the teaching building, right? Unless Vice Principal Matsueda is a blood demon, no one is more suspicious than this security guard."

The security guard widened his eyes, staring at the teacher who seemed not good at speaking but was an expert at putting the blame on others.

Songzhi also heard the loophole in the testimony and said,

"Most places in the school are monitored by surveillance cameras. Directly watching the surveillance video will better explain the problem."

Yamagata Ariaki motioned everyone to look at the TV screen on the left and said,

"We have retrieved the surveillance videos from several places last night."

Everyone watched the videos of the sports equipment room, the north side of the teaching building, the flagpole at the main entrance, the golden swimming pool, and several classrooms.

Even the student council members who had seen it before still felt creepy.

Students went into shock for no reason, people floated in the air, flagpoles automatically lowered the flag and raised the person to the top, the color of the swimming pool inexplicably darkened from one point, and the blackboard in the classroom was scratched out of nowhere.
Songzhi was also upset that someone in KKIS was playing tricks, and he asked,

"So what does this have to do with us?"

"I have never believed in ghosts or gods. Vice President Songeda went to the monitoring room to copy the files in the early morning, and he actually secretly replaced these carefully produced videos."

Yamagata clicked on a video. After Matsueda chatted with the staff in the monitoring room for a few words, he fiddled with it for a long time before leaving.

"I copied the video of the office building. I want to know which teachers were working overtime yesterday."

"This sentence sounds strange. Is it normal to work overtime? Don't rush to refute it. Take a look at these videos again."

Asama took a look at the screen and understood why Yamagata judged that he was a suspect.

Scene 9: On the rooftop, Asana loses the verbal battle with the three little beasts from Class of Grade and is driven out of the rooftop. Then the three little beasts fall to the ground in shock.

In scene two, Asama falls down the stairs, and is limping with a cane. Asama is no longer using a cane.

Scene three, at 12:13, Asama walks out of the bathroom, but there is no previous scene of Asama entering the bathroom on the second floor of the office building, nor is there any scene of Asama walking out of the office at the same time.

In the fourth scene, Asama played with his phone for nearly 20 minutes at his seat, and left the camera range of the Humanities Group ① office at 10:55. The scene did not appear again until 12:10, more than minutes after Matsueda entered the office. In the fifth scene, Matsueda and Asama were talking about something at school.

Yamagata Ariaki looked confident of winning.

"Teacher Kondo, has your leg injury healed?"

"It's an ankle injury. It hasn't healed yet, but it's embarrassing to use crutches."

Asana pulled up his trouser legs, revealing his red and swollen ankles.

"It was the school doctor who told me about my injury. Can't you ask her for confirmation?"

Everyone, including the Hawkeye man, gasped. Kondo Shinichiro was really a ruthless person for insisting on going to work even though he was injured like this and yet he could only walk with a slight limp.

"Then, can you tell me, why is there no video of you leaving the office and going to the bathroom? What did you do during this hour?"

"What does it have to do with me that the camera didn't capture me? Wasn't KKIS already haunted?"

"KKIS is not haunted, but there are people who are causing trouble. Mr. Kondo, answer my question, what did you do in this hour?"

"Okay, I'll be honest. I first looked for anti-diarrhea medicine in the office, and then went to the bathroom to poop. Do you know how painful it was for me to poop with a limp for an hour? I think the school's bathrooms should have barrier-free designs suitable for the elderly. Only in this way, injured teachers like me will be more willing to stick to their posts.

If you don’t believe me, go to the bathroom and fish out my shit, and do a DNA test to see if I’m lying.”

Yamagata knew that the injuries of the people who were injured last night were completely different from those who suffered shock on the rooftop; he also knew that the limping Asama would definitely not be able to do what he did last night; he also knew that the main purpose of Asama's overtime work was to take class notes to please the students in Class 9 of Grade .

But he trusted his intuition too much, hoping to cheat out the answer he wanted.

Songzhi spread his hands and said,

"Whether I have replaced the surveillance video or not, you can find someone who knows computers to check the data written and you will know for sure."

The vice president next to him handed Ariaki Yamagata a document.

The examination report came out and there was no suspicious genetic information on the injured person.

In addition, under the bloodstains of [Bullyers Must Die] on their backs, there is a flower-like mark hidden.

Thinking of the rumors on the school forum yesterday, Yamagata Ariaki smiled and said to the vice principal and the new teacher,

"Thank you both for your cooperation in the investigation. It's all for the safety of KKIS. Masamune-san, Kondo-sensei, you can go now."

The door behind him opened, Asana breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"Before I leave, can I confirm a few things with you?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Asana.

"You said."

"Are there more chairs for teachers in the classroom? Are there elderly-friendly handles in the bathroom?"

"Teacher Kondo, you can go to the Academic Affairs Office to fill out the application, but our decision will fully respect the opinions of the majority."

"I see. There is one more question."

"You said."

"KKIS, who has greater power, the president, the president of the student union, or the actual controller of a few fraternities whose names are unknown?"

Yamagata Ariaki narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealed a bit of coldness, and smiled,

"Naturally the principal is older. Mr. Kondo, it is a skill to ask questions, but it is more interesting to find the answers yourself.

He turned his eyes to the pine branches again and said,
"By the way, Brother Zhengzong, please take some time to have lunch together at noon. I have a lot to tell you."

".good."

When the two came out of the student union, the morning meeting had already ended.

"Mr. Kondo is quite eloquent."

"Except Socrates, anyone who studies philosophy will seriously defend his innocence."

Songzhi frowned and thought for a long time, then said to Qianjian,
"Is it really Kondo-sensei and you guys who did this?"

"Carrying a tall and strong high school student to the top of a 22-meter-high flagpole three times in one breath, do you think a cripple like me can do it?"

“That’s why I mentioned [you guys].”

Asama shrugged,

"There is no need to add me to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."

"I don't think this is the work of evil spirits. The motivation is the same as the rumors on the forum. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a strategy to stop bullying."

I have a lot of respect for this group of people. They started thinking about the motives behind the unreasonable phenomena such as the bloody swimming pool before figuring out the truth behind them.

Are bullies all materialists who value power above all else?

Asama smiled.
"So you should be more suspicious of whether you are possessed by a like-minded ghost, rather than suspecting me. At least I went back to the dormitory and slept last night. I won't say anything more. I'm going to class. According to Mr. Songeda's assessment standards, I have already lost a lot of money, and it is easy for students to threaten me with kidnapping based on my attendance rate.

These damn brats, how long are they going to skip classes? "

Looking at Asama's limping back, Matsueda Masamune shook his head.

Several other names emerged in his mind.

Who is behind this chaos?

"Hello everyone, my name is Shinichiro Kondo, and as you can see, I will be your ethics teacher for the next period of time.

According to the teacher's previous teaching records, your progress in ethics class from last semester to now is almost zero, so I decided to start from the beginning."

Asama wrote the word "Ethics" on the blackboard.

"Ethics is about the principles of human relations, and how people deal with all social or natural relationships.

It doesn't matter if you don't learn this course at all.

It is not as universal as Chinese and mathematics, not as practical as physical education for physical exercise or English for broadening horizons, not as enjoyable as music and art, and not as easy to become a topic of conversation as history and geography.

It is a basically useless subject, and the questions it answers are mostly things that humans would think about when they are alone.

When a person loses all the people and things he can rely on and becomes depressed, inspiration from religion, the appeal of ideology, the persuasion of cults, and the comfort of totem symbols can all help him cheer up again.

So, what is faith?
Being harassed or pursued is annoying, being bullied or ignored is also annoying. Things that cannot be obtained will make people painful, and things that are too easily obtained will make people bored.

[How can I be happy?]
Men should be like this, girls should be like that. Which toilet should a boy who thinks he is a girl go to?

[How did gender rules and rights come about?]
What if you don’t hate something that everyone says is disgusting? What if your father broke the law and you get 1000 million if you report him, or you inherit 100 billion if you don’t report him? What should you choose? Your most admired idol is married to your most hated idol. Do you love her and hate her too?
[What is right?]
If you are afraid of a person, can you kill him? Why don't you dare to kill him? What makes you silent?
[What is fear?]
There is neither fun nor hope in life. I think it would be better to just die.

[What is life?]
Which group of people do you want to be recognized by? Which person do you want to be liked by? How can ordinary people be different? How can the weak avoid unconscious malice?
[How should life be lived?]
We can still live a normal life without thinking about the answers to these questions, right?
However, life-saving medicine will only be truly useful when it is needed.

This is what I am about to share with you, about the ethics of life and death.”

No one interrupted the long introduction, and no one even refused to listen.

The students in Class 10 of Grade were quite considerate, even though they were considering giving face to the chain-smoking Zeye.

When he was teaching, no one dared not to listen carefully.

Sawano flicked the ash off his cigarette and asked Asama,
"Can an old-fashioned ethics class save lives even if it's out of date?"

The entire class of Grade 10 laughed in unison. (End of this chapter)
