025 Men don't flick when they have tears
The next day, Shigeichi Ikeda returned to school, and before he had even entered the classroom, he saw on the bulletin board that Miura, Asano, and Irie were suspended for reflection.
It appears that the police notified the school.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone muttering, "Isn't Ikeda the head of these three?" Why wasn't he suspended? β
"It should have been the three of them who covered up and let him run away, right?"
"What's going on at school, just let the four of them suspend school together, how can those three fight without Ikeda's share?"
Suppressing his anger, Ikeda forced himself to release his clenched fists, pretended not to hear the whispers, and walked towards his class.
At this time, he heard someone say, "He shaved his head, could it be that he swore to avenge his brothers?" β
"I've heard it's for the sake of Tokyo."
"Eh, there are people who say that he wants to change his ways. I heard that he paid back all the money he had extorted. β
"How is it possible, it must be an illusion."
Shigeru Ikeda frowned, turned his head and strode towards the person who said this.
It was a trio of people who had gathered together, and when they saw Shigeru Ikeda walking towards them, they all looked dish-faced, and one of them had his legs clamped tightly, and he looked like he was about to pee.
"Hey! I did pay back the extorted money! β
The three boys who were quite able to talk just now didn't dare to put a single fart, and they all nodded like chickens pecking rice.
Shigeru Ikeda turned, shook off the irritability in his mind, and walked towards his class.
The classmates in the class still avoided Shigeru Ikeda as usual.
Shigeru Ikeda didn't think much of thatβhe just wanted to make amends, but that didn't mean he had to have good relationships with the people in his class.
He sat boredly in his seat, looking out the window.
In fact, he never knew how to appreciate the scenery, but now he doesn't seem to have much to do but do it.
As a good student, it seems that you should open the textbook and preview the content of the upcoming class. However, Shigeru Ikeda's plan for rehabilitation does not include studying well.
He didn't know that his admired master Kiryu and Ma were going to be admitted to the University of Tokyo, and he thought that Kazuma would definitely use his kendo prowess to get recommended for admission and enter the Metropolitan Police Department.
This became the route he wanted to take.
If he had run into Kiryu and Ma this morning, he would have been stunned by the sight of Kiryu and Ma walking and burying their heads in the test center.
Just as Shigeru Ikeda was looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, a trembling voice suddenly entered his ears: "Ike, Ikeda-san, excuse me." β
Shigeru Ikeda followed the prestige and saw Kondo, the "punching bag" and "four-eyed pig" he had been bullying, standing next to his desk.
He lowered his head, and Shigeru Ikeda couldn't see his face at all, except that his sweat was pouring down, and the sweat that had gathered on the tip of his nose was dripping and ticking.
A sense of disgust welled up in Shigeru Ikeda's heart, in fact, he started bullying Kondo-san because he was always disgusted and sweating.
And it wasn't Shigeru Ikeda who bullied Kondo at first, but the girls in the class, and Ikeda just took over the baton from the girls.
"What's the matter?" Shigeru Ikeda suppressed his disgust and asked in the most friendly voice possible.
Kondo-san looked at Ikeda and took out a piece of paper, as if hesitating to hand it to Ikeda.
Shigeru Ikeda snatched the paper and glanced at it, only to find that it was a detailed list of the people he had blackmailed Kondo.
"YouβAlthough you paid back the money you recently extorted," Kondo-san, as he spoke, glancing at the three hot girls in the class from time to time, "That, that, didn't you say that you want to change your ways?" Then give me back all the money you blackmailed me! β
Shigeru Ikeda looked at the list again, then at the girls in the distance, and asked, "You were bullied by Saya and them?" β
Kondo immediately shook his head like a rattle, and the action shook up all his sweat and flew to Ikeda's face.
Ikeda ducked back and said, "Okay, don't shake your head, I see!" Owe money right, I'll pay you back! I'm working now to make money, and I'll pay you back in batches when I'm a son. β
Kondo-san, as if amnesty, fled as if flying.
Ikeda looked at the Taimei group on the other side of the room, but they all looked away.

At lunchtime, Ikeda used his deterrent power as always, and quickly bought the most sought-after chow noodle bread, and he was about to return to the classroom when suddenly a first-grade bad appeared in front of him and hit him directly, and the cream side of the brioche bread in his hand was directly attached to Ikeda's school uniform.
"Oh do, isn't this Ikeda-senpai? I'm sorry, I didn't see it! The first-year guy said in a strange voice, "Ikeda-senpai, who has changed his mind, is he not going to be angry about this?" β
Shigeru Ikeda clenched his fists, but suddenly found that the head teacher in charge of life was walking into the cafeteria.
The consequences of a brawl in the cafeteria are serious, especially in the presence of the head teacher of life.
Shigeru Ikeda could only let go of his clenched fist again and smiled at the first-year sneer, "Be careful next time." β
The next moment, his classmates, who were still hiding around him, let out an "oh" noise.
"Change the evil and return to the right! The Prodigal Son Turns Back! The leader came up and looked at Shigeru Ikeda from a very close distance, "But do you think you can turn back if you want to?" Do you know how many people want to beat you up? You're going to really turn back, just like an ordinary student, and show me the opposite, senior~"
"Even if you're an ordinary student, you don't have to be completely submissive," Shigeru Ikeda finally retorted, "There is still a legitimate defense in the law!" β
"NONO, SENIOR, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, DO YOU? Ordinary students resist, it is called legitimate defense, you resist, how do you think the police will characterize? Of course it's the bad students brawl hahaha. β
As he spoke, Shigeru Ikeda, who didn't know his name, turned around and beckoned to a few of his followers: "Let's go!" There is nothing to say about people who will not be able to come to school tomorrow because they will be sent to the hospital. The legend of Mingqing Middle School is over. β
His henchman laughed.
One of them also said to Shigeru Ikeda: "Remember, you can't resist~ Farewell, senior~"
Shigeru Ikeda stood still, clenching his fists and releasing them.
At this time, the life teacher shouted, "Ikeda! Are you going to fight again? How far do you want to ruin our Mingqing's reputation? β
Shigeru Ikeda turned his head and glared at the teacher, who wanted to shout loudly and tell the teacher that I was no longer the delinquent boy Shigeru Ikeda.
He wants to complain to everyone: I really want to be good, I really want to be a good person, why don't you believe me?
How can you trust me?
After so many years since his mother ran away from home and left behind his alcoholic father and himself, Shigeru Ikeda once again felt the urge to cry.
He gritted his teeth and choked tears into his stomach.
Because a long time ago, on the afternoon of her mother's departure, she told Shigeru Ikeda that men don't flick when they have tears.
Shigeru Ikeda held back tears and used his last stubbornness and unyieldingness.
