Haha.

Yeah, I ran from doing extra work for free. There's no way I'm standing for that. Hopefully, the village will already have everything figured out after I log back in...although I doubt they will.

Why am I not taking advantage of the situation and become something like the ruler of the village?

Why would I do that? Tsk. It sounds like a giant pain in the a.r.s.e.

I've never wanted to rule over a crowd or be surrounded by important people.

Although most of the people I know are pretty important huh...it's not even my fault nor was it my intention.

I sighed before getting out of the gaming capsule and stretching. The capsules next to me were all still closed and online.

I guess Eugene and my brothers must be busy in Sapphire.

Hah. Can't relate. I don't regret my decision of remaining solo at all.

I smugly chuckled before preparing dinner early.

Yes, I'm the official chef in the family. Although the only meal I cook is dinner.

I quickly whipped up a few servings of pasta and put them into the fridge so that my brothers (I sort of think of Eugene as a brother) could find and eat them once they logged off. My father had already left a note saying that he wouldn't come home tonight.

It's rare for him to stay out. I'm guessing that something important happened at work.

The next morning when I arrived at school my desk was clean and n.o.body looked at me.

I furrowed my brows in confusion. Just what the heck was going on?

Looking around the cla.s.sroom I saw many people either whispering in groups or looking at their phone. Some spared a few glances at me with complicated expressions.

Ohhh....yikes.

I quickly took out my phone and checked the school news, which I rarely look at.

[HOT NEWS! TYRANT OF THE SCHOOL FINALLY EXPELLED!]

I clicked the article and I almost dropped my phone. Good thing I didn't though, it's a pretty expensive model.

"The infamous tyrant of Tanaka Academy along with his followers have finally been brought to justice. The son of Ok.u.ma Kenjiro, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ryuu Kenjiro was expelled along with X, X, X, and X after being reported to the police by an anonymous informer with evidence of their violence towards other cla.s.smates and also bribery and threats towards various teachers. The teachers who have accepted bribes have also been dismissed from their positions and are blacklisted from....."

I skimmed through the rest of the article which listed all the things that he had done while still a student of the school.

I was shocked at how detailed the information was. Basically, the entire school was cleaned up? In just half a day?

.....When exactly did this happen?

I always knew that Ryuu was the son of somebody important but I never expected it to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs....? He seriously let his son act like that? What type of c.r.a.ppy father is he...unless he didn't know, of course.

Well, I don't really care.

He's one of the people who work side by side with the Prime Minister. I think I've seen him a couple of times.

No. The better question to ask would probably be who exactly did this. Eugene? Akane? Sia?

I'm sure that it wasn't Joker, just a few hours ago he was telling me to beat them up. I doubt he would expel them before I got the chance to do that. Haha...

Obviously the person who reported Ryuu has a more powerful background than him and isn't scared of the consequences. If it was a person from an average household there's no doubt that Ryuu and his supporters would do all that they can to get revenge. After all, they probably have a few people working in the police who would happily tell them who snitched on him.

If they don't, bribes always loosen lips. They definitely don't lack money.

Hmm.....I don't think Akane is the type of person who would do such a thing. She doesn't seem to like to stick her nose into unnecessary things. I doubt she would take action after doing nothing all this time. Unless she finally got sick of him or decided to get rid of him for the sake of the school's reputation...nah.

It's much more possible that it was Eugene or Sia. Sia did tell me herself that she would do something about the bullying. She's also a genius at getting information so it would be easy for her to get hold of evidence to hand to the police. But her background...

Might as well just ask.

I messaged both Sia and Eugene if they knew anything about Ryuu getting expelled.

While waiting for them to respond, I finally added Ryan as a contact after getting his number from Eugene earlier today.

---{h.e.l.lo Rye. Do me a favor?

A few seconds later he had already responded.

As expected of the most wanted hacker in the world.

---[Boss!?

---{Mhm. Are you going to do me a favor or not.

---[It doesn't have to be a favor, I'll do anything you ask. You haven't contacted me in forever!

---{It looks like you haven't changed at all. I bet you're tracking my location with this phone right now.

---[Hahaha, yeah. So you are in j.a.pan after all huh. No wonder Eugene suddenly wanted to go there with his father.

---{Alright stop with the chit chat. There's this girl named Ichigo Yotsuba, also known as Matania in Sapphire. Find her?

---[Gimme a sec....Alright got it. I'm guessing you want to me remove the little stain she has on her criminal record?

I'm still not used to how fast he is at finding stuff...

---{Tell me what it is first.

---[Let's see.....pickpocketing, shoplifting, also one case of breaking into a car and stealing some stuff. Heh, she's honestly not that good at this type of business. She was caught a few times.

Huh...she didn't tell me about breaking into a car.

---{Do you know why she did all this?

---[Of course, my t.i.tle isn't just for show you know. She's currently in debt and is being chased by a gang called....Reign? Pfffft- Reign? Lol, that name is hilarious. I don't really know why she would go as far as stealing to pay them back but maybe it's cause she's starving half to death.

I frowned. Tania isn't a stupid person (I think) so why would she be chased after those loan sharks?

---{Where did the debt come from?

---[Parents. They suddenly disappeared and left their two daughters. Tch. The b.a.s.t.a.r.d type.

Hm....

---[Also, according to camera footage she doesn't seem to resist the police.

---{What's her sister doing?

---[Well.....one younger sister in a coma. She doesn't seem to be doing great. They're also lagging behind on paying the hospital bills.

---[That makes her desperation for money make sense. Huh.

I thought about Tania's situation for a bit.

I guess I'll help her? Never hurts having another lack- *cough* friend around. I'm a nice person after all.

---{Alright, send me pictures of her parents and pay for the hospital bills. I'll deal with....Reign.

I have a feeling Joker wouldn't like the idea of sharing j.a.pan with some thugs.
