I heard some sounds coming from outside. The entrance captured most of the students attention.

*Open*

Ah, how can I forget about them? A mob erupted; of course, they were all second and first years. I had forgotten that they were also called here. Mostly because I only observed the third years and completely forgot about them.

[SECOND YEARS AS WELL AS FIRST YEARS BE SEATED QUICKLY. THIS IS FOR EVERYONE; DO NOT FORM A GROUP AMONG EACH OTHER. WE NEED YOU TO BE PATIENT FOR JUST 15-20 MINUTES.]

"What's happening?" Iris whispered to me.

"What do you think? The rest of the second year addition to that first year is also coming," I answered.

The teacher kept walking until we were all few steps away from the stage. I must say, the view from here is spectacular. I can see all the way to the back of the Auditorium. Still, now isn't the moment to be amused by the sight, but to consider what's going to happen.

I cast a glance towards the Principal, who motioned for me to wait. So, for the time being, my only option is to wait.

"Except Allen you may return to your respective class," she said in cold tone. Somethings weird. 

"Wh-" before any of them could say a single word she glared at each of them. All of them seemed hesitant to say another word except two.

"I need an explanation, why we are the only one going back?" Lily asked me.

"I also need to know," Iris agreed to it. I guess their position can be of use some times. But the teacher still didn't seemed to be fazed by it all. I guess she had already guessed it might happen. But if Iris isn't the one to back off so easily.

"If you leave now, you will know it in next minute or either you can all wait here and waste all of our time, and there is another route, i.e., you can do as I say told you." She looked serious.

"…" no one further stepped in. Even Iris seems reluctant now. This teacher is really dangerous. I will have to be caution. 



"So, what's this all about? You can at least tell me, right?" as we both were standing there alone I asked her.

"Well even if you know it will of no use so let's tell you either way," as she was about to say something I fluently placed both of my hands in my pocket and listened to her.



"… So, you are this is a…" I asked.

"Well, you can say it that way," she said, "So far, no one has been able to get away from this, so brace yourselves for the impact. So, don't even think that you'll be able to avoid this either." She looked a little bit delighted.

"…"

[ALLEN AND THE SCHOOL'S PRESIDENT HARVEY IS REQUESTED TO GET ON THE STAGE.]

"It's time," she pushed me forward.

"What if I would to drag you down with me?" I gave her a smirk.

"Wha-" she looked worried all of sudden. I just returned the favor to her.

"What's happening?" someone among the crowd whispered.

"Why are they both being called on the stage?" the doubts began to increase. But the one who was most looked most worried was someone among the crowd.

The crowd was confused but don't worry all this will be cleared soon. As I stepped up I noticed that I was again on a higher plain but the difference wasn't much from earlier.

As I ran my eyes around I noticed the same person I encountered on the entrance coming up the stage. Is he the School President? Ah, so that's what he meant by that. Now it all makes sense. They really would have caught me off guard.

He took a single look at me and let out a smirk. In return I did the same to him.

*Ahem*

{GOOD MORNING TEACHERS AND THE PRINCIPAL MA'AM. I'M THE SCHOOL MEMBER OF SCHOOL COUNCIL AND THE PRESIDENT. YOU MUST BE CONSIDERING WHY WE CALLED YOU ALL HERE. THE REASON IS SIMPLE.} Someone handed him the mic and started his pretend speech. I just looked at the audience to see the reaction to each and every comment he was about to make.

{THE REASON IS THAT OUR PRECIOUS SCHOOL HAS STARTED TO LOSE ITS POSITION.} He looked in my direction and continued his speech.

{OUR SCHOOL, WHICH WAS HONORED AS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE SCHOOLS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, HAS BEGINN TO SLIP. WE OUTPERFORM EVERY OTHER SCHOOL IN EVERY ASPECT. WE WON SECOND PLACE IN THE NATIONALS OLYPIAD IN MATHEMATICS. WE WON FIRST PLACE IN PHYSICS AND THIRD PLACE IN BOILOGY. WHAT DOES THIS SHOW US?} He asked the whole crowd but before someone could say anything he continued.

{WE ESTABLISHED OUR POSITION, OUR NAME AND OUR EVERYTHING WE HAVE, THROUGH SHEER DEDICATION AND EFFORT MADE BY EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. DO YOU AGREE WIH ME OR NOW!?}

"… He is right."

"Yeah."

"Is this the only reason we were called here…?"

In an instant, the entire auditorium appeared to agree with him. He's a tremendous public speaker. That's probably why he was able to quickly sway everyone's viewpoint. It's true that he was able to persuade the entire school with only a handful of words.

{BUT IT HURTS ME FROM INSIDE TO SAY THIS BUT WE I NEED TO SAY THIS.}

"What does he want say?" someone from the front row asked.

"What is it…?"

Oh, I know what he wants to say. I'll see what I can do about it.

{OUR NAME IS BEING TARNISHED, EVEN AT THIS MOMENT AS I SPEAK. AND ALL THIS IS BECAUSE OF THIS ONE STUDENT. A SECOND YEAR STUDENT, ALLEN!} So that's how you are going to play.

{BUT BEFORE ANYONE COULD SAY ANYTHING TO HIM I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. ALLEN AND SIX OTHERS RETURNED FROM SOMETHING HORRYFYING WE COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE. I SYPATHIZE WITH EACH ONE OF THEM-} Huh? A drop of water slide through his right cheek. He sure is a good actor along with that speech.

{AH, DON'T MIND ME…} He stopped for a moment and continued again, {BUT WITH WHOM I DON'T SYMPATHIZE WITH IS ALLEN. YOU'LL MUST HAVE HEARD SOME WEIRD RUMORS ABOUT ALLEN. LIKE HIM HOLDING A GUN AND USING IT. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. THE POLICE IS ACCUSING HIM OF THAT. THIS ADDS CREDIBILITY TO IT.}

"…" the whole auditorium fell silent.

{NOT ONLY THAT, SOME OF YOU HAVE WITNESSED HIM USING VOILENCE, IN SCHOOL GROUNDS. ONLY BECAUSE OF HIM OUR EFFORT AND DEDICATION TO MAKE THIS SCHOOL ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL HAS BEGUN TO CRUMBLE.}

"Yeah he is right…"

"Yeah I saw him fighting." The crowd was already in his hand. If he were to become a politician the opponent party will lose no matter if they were to go against him without a plan.

{IT HURTS TO SAY THIS TO ONE OF MY FELLOW SCHOOLMATES BUT IF IT'S TRUE I NEED TO MAKE A DECISION. FOR THE SAKE OF THIS SCHOOL'S FUTURE I NEED TO STEP FORWARD FOR EVERYONES SAKE.}

"…" most of their gaze was Harvey while the remaining rest of them were looking at me with hostility. And the one who seemed a bit delighted was the same teacher that pushed me up here. I must assume she collaborated with Harvey.

{AS THE PRESIDENT OF THIS SCHOOL AND AS A FELLOW STUDENT I HAVE COME TO A CONCLUSION.} And I think what that is.

{TO EXPELL ALLEN FROM SCHOOL BEFORE HE FURTHER TARNISH OUR EPUTATION!}

"Yeah!"

"Expel him…!"

"No…" amongst the crowd few tried supporting me but it didn't matter.

{ALLEN THE WHOLE SCHOOL IS WILLING TO EXPELL YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY SAY?} He again smirked to me. I guess I need to give him the taste of his own medicine.

"Can I have the mic…?" I politely asked me. He handed me the microphone while grinning at me. He placed his other hand on top of the mic and whispered to me as he was going to offer me the microphone.

"Don't get me wrong but the moment you talked to me was the moment you had already lost," he said arrogantly.

{SHH…! EVERYONE ALLEN HAS SOMETHING TO SAY. IF THIS IS HIS LAST TIME HERE IN SCHOOL I THINK WE SHOULD LISTEN TO HIM. THAT'S THE LEAST WE CAN DO FOR HIM. EVEN THOUGH HE TRIED TO DEGRADE OUR SCHOOL WE CAN STILL LISTEN TO HIM.} He handed me the mic.

I rolled my eyes around the whole audience. Almost everyone's eyes were filled with rage, animosity, and frustration, but amongst them a handful had an empathetic and worried expression.

{I GUESS I DON'T NEED TO INTRODUCE ME, RIGHT…?}

"…" no response came. Well that's to be expected.

{SO, I GUESS I'LL JUMP STRAIGHT TO THE POINT THEN.} Every single eyeball was at me.
