I wasn't finished yet; I could just incinerate Harvey's reputation to the ground, but I won't use it unless I'm about to lose, and based on the response, I don't believe I need to use it right now.

But it's funny seeing all those who were trying to expel me earlier are now aren't able to say a word against me. I guess they could only follow up behind the President.

{AH, NOW I GET WHAT THE PRESIDENT WAS TRYING TO DO. HE WAS USING ME AS A SCAPEGOAT.}

"What? Are you out of your mind!?" the President said to me while he glared at me.

"Oh come on," I placed my hand on the mic and said, "You think I wouldn't know? I think you really underestimated me, didn't you?"

"Fufufu…" he let out laughter. What is he thinking?

"What's so funny…?" I asked him out of curiosity of my own. He is going to go down soon enough but he doesn't look a bit worried. Is he that much confident that he won't lose?

"Did you really think that something like this going to sway them away? Or did you think they are going to believe someone… like you?" he asked.

"…" I silently stared at him.

On the other hand, while I and the President were talking the audience was in turmoil. It's natural since I tried to defame their school, President. Now that remember, during our first encounter the crowd only consisted of the third years, does this mean he can control the all? It's a little hard to believe but it's really true then I guess he is bad news.

"I have been here in this school for three years and then on the other hand there's you," he smirked at me again, "Seeing you, I know you are intelligent so answer me this, a boy being suspected for holding a gun by the police and with addition to it, the rumors spreading around the city I wonder who will they believe?" he said haughtily. Well, his reasoning isn't wrong either. 

"…" yet I didn't respond to him. Because he was right, but with his haughty tongue, he offered me a clue how to counterattack him.

To be honest, I expected him to be concerned after witnessing me state facts and prove him a liar, but... looking at him right now, that isn't a worried expression, it's the face of someone who isn't scared at all. He had a smug smile on his face. Does he have this much confidence in himself? I asked myself again. 

Alright, let's begin the third step shall we?

{ALRIGHT, EVERYONE LISTEN TO THIS, THE PRESIDENT IS DENYING THE FACT THAT I'M BEING USED AS A SCAPEGOAT, SO LET'S HEAR WHAT YOU ALL BELIEVE.} With this statement I grabbed every single person's attention.

"It's not true." One said.

"Of course you aren't right." Another said.

"The president wouldn't do something like this…" soon almost all the students were taking the President's side. Not one, not two but a bunch of students were on his side.

{PRESIDENT HARVEY, IT LOOKS LIKE ALMOST HALF OF THE SCHOOL TRUST YOU.}

"Give me that," he asked me for the mic and I handed it to him.

{OF COURSE, THEY WILL TRUST ME, I TRUST THEM AND THEY TRUST ME. THAT'S THE REASON I'M THE SCHOOL PRESIDENT AND YOU ARE NOT.} He gave that answer as he glanced a smile at me.

"Yeah!!"

"That's our school president for you...!" he stirred the whole auditorium in his favor again.

"Hand over the mic to me," I said to him.

{OKAY, OKAY. I ADMIT I'M NOT WORTHY OF BEING THE SCHOOL'S PRESIDENT BUT I JUST NEED TO ASK SOMETHING.} I said, {BUT IS HE ALSO WORTHY?} I asked.

For a brief minute, the entire floor was deafeningly quiet, but it wasn't for long because all of a sudden a wave of shouts broke out.

"What are you saying?!"

"What?" many seemed outraged? It looks like he does have a lot of influence.

{I SAY HE IS NOT. FOR THE LAST 5MONTHS OUR SCHOOL HAVEN'T RECEIVED A SINGLE AWARD, WHY IS THAT? IS IT BECAUSE OF ME? DEFINITELY NOT ME, SINCE THE PROBLEM I CAUSED CAME ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO AGO. SO, DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE PRESIDENT IS BLAMING YOUR FAILURE ON ME? AND DON'T YOU ALL DARE TO DENY THIS, OKAY?} I made a bold statement. 

"Give me the mic," Harvey snatched the mic from my hand and I willingly let him have it.

{EVEN IF YOU MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THIS, THE RUMORS ABOUT YOU HAVE STILL AFFECTED OUR REPUTATION. EVEN YOU CAN'T DENY THAT OR CAN YOU?} I see so he lured me into a trap. Because this way I can't deny the fact that those rumors aren't affecting the school.

"Fufufu…" I laughed a little.

{WHAT'S WRONG…?} He asked me as he saw me laughing.

"Hand over the mic and I'll tell you," I extended my hand. He handed me the mic but his expression wasn't the same as before.

{IF YOU REALLY THINK THE RUMORS ARE TRUE THEN WHY DON'T YOU ALL BECOME DETECTIVES AND FIND SOME SOLID PROOF RATHER THAN JUST MOVING YOUR LIPS UP AND DOWN. THE POLICE HAVEN'T HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SINGLE PROOF AND HERE YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY MADE IT LOOK LIKE I DID IT.}

"B-but the rumor…"

"Those rumors still have…" many were still obsessing with those groundless rumors.

{IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE ALL THESE STUPID RUMORS THEN WHY ISN'T IT USED AS A PROOF TO PUT ME IN JAIL YET? BECAUSE… IT'S JUST A RUMOR AND THE DEFINITION OF RUMOR IS A CIRCULATION OF A STORY OF AN UNCERTAIN OR DOUBTFUL TRUTH. SO, IF YOU HAVE A SINGLE SHRED OF BRAIN LEFT, YOU WILL THINK THIS MATTER OVER AGAIN AND IF YOU STILL DON'T CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE THEN THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH YOU.}

"… We can still expel you, you know?" Harvey tapped on my shoulder and said to me.

{YOU CAN'T EXPEL ME.} Oops. Instead of taking of the mic I mistakenly said it out loud. Or is what I would have thought but right now I don't care.

{BUT ALLEN YOU HAVE STILL AFFECTED OUR SCHOOL LIFE, HAVE YOU NOT?}The President snatched the mic from my arm and said.

{IF YOU BELIEVE THIS REASONING IS GOOD ENOUGH THEN I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO EVALUATE YOU AND YOUR SCHOOL'S REAL POSITIONING. IF YOU USE SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO BLAME ME I DON'T THINK THIS SCHOOL WAS GOOD ENOUGH SINCE THE BEGNNING.}

"Are you making fun of this school?!" someone from the crowd shouted and it echoed throughout the Auditorium.

{IF YOU'RE GOING TO BELIEVE SOME STUPID RUMOR, SO WHAT IF I DID SAY THAT?} I said.

"Huh?!"

{DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN MAKE ME LEAVE THIS SCHOOL?} I asked.

"…" thought so. All bark and no bite is what I thought about them. But man, they sure are blindingly following the President.

"Did you really think that you will be able to expel me that easily?" I turned over Harvey, "Even you must be knowing that you need some kind of legitimate reason to expel me and if you have one why haven't you used it yet? Or it because you don't have one?" of course this time I remembered to put away the mic. I won't make the same mistake as before.

"What are you implying?" he asked me, "You think I won't be able to kick you out?"

"Oh, I'm not implying anything. I'm just saying that you can't do that," I replied, "But I can give an opportunity to do so."

"… What do you mean?" he looked confused.

{FINE, I WILL LEAVE THIS SCHOOL ON ONE CONDITION. GIVE A SINGLE SOLID PROOF BECAUSE OF SOME STUPID RUMOR I WON'T BE LEAVING THIS SCHOOL.} This is the opportunity I was talking about.

"…" but not a single one could say anything. The answer was simple because there was no proof, to begin with. Even if they still denied I could just show them the proof that the rumors were spread from this school only.

{EVEN IF YOU ARE THAT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SCHOOL'S REPUTATION, WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY TO REPEL AWAY THOSE RUMORS TO PROTECT YOUR PRECIOUS SCHOOL FAME?}

"What are you saying…?"

"What?"

{I MEAN, YOU HAD A CHANCE TO DENY THE RUMOURS. RATHER THAN STOP THEM FROM SPREADING FURTHER, YOU CONTINUED TO LET THEM CONTINUE UNTIL THEY AFFECTED THE SCHOOL AND EVEN YOU. ALSO, BEFORE I FORGET. THE RUMOURS ABOUT ME THAT SEEM TO BE STILL GOING ROUND BEGAN TO SPREAD FROM THIS SCHOOL ONLY. SO, IF YOU WANT TO BLAME SOMEONE, BLAME THE PERSON WHO CAUSED ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE.}

With that, I looked directly at one particular teacher, and seeing her expression I could easily make out that she isn't pleased with the outcome. She deduced that I would go down like water in a waterfall but actually I'm the water that will break the stone blocking my path. So, if I fall or not doesn't matter much because I'll break through whatever comes in my path, no matter who.
