DAYLIGHT - K. Rukawa

Chapter 7 : first person pov. Edited 2nd of November, 2021.

I looked at our school head; our principal for short, as he sighed in depression after hearing what happened. And just like how confident I was in the huge trouble that was caused by Mitsui and his gang, together with the basketball club, I was called to the office with Akagi-san and Anzai-sensei with me.

"I apologized. I promised that it will never happen again," Akagi-san responded.

"Are you sure though, Akagi? Anzai-sensei?" The principal asked once again.

"Half of the club members were almost beaten up to the pulp." Suddenly he glances at me. "If Miss (l/n) wasn't there to do the first aid and such, almost all of them were going to be critical for sure."

I gulped, and looked away. I can't handle missed compliments at all. I'm not even sure if it was a compliment or what.

"And how will you be able to handle that, Akagi? Anzai-sensei?"

"Both sides have reconciled. And as the captain says, it will never happen again." Anzai-sensei said, making the principal nod in unison.

What am I even doing here? "Uh, Sir. Excuse me, if you don't have any to ask me, I'll be leaving. But only with your permission," I muttered.

"I didn't dismiss you yet." The principal immediately replied. "As I was saying, the basketball club is the only club that has been troublesome for the past few years, it all includes fist-fights and whatever that is highly prohibited by our school policies."

The school head stood up with a clipboard in his hand. I took a glimpse of it and saw my name. I suddenly have the urge to back out. Realizing that it might have something to do with my behavior grades.

And I don't want a school record. A bad school record.

"(l/n)-san, I believe you're in the voluntary club?" I felt Anzai-sensei and Akagi-san's eyes on me. I nodded, biting my lower lip to stop myself from overthinking.

This must be good right? I treated them. And I did the first aid. I stopped the commotion. I know I shouldn't feel entitled about it, but yeah? I think what I did is great. Right?

Ugh, this will kill me.

"(l/n) (y/n), based on your school behavior records, most of your teachers have given you the highest grade when it comes to generosity and helpfulness. And being a part of the voluntary club is enough to prove that you are really generous,"

What? Am I receiving recognition or something? I thought as the school head kept on suspending what he wanted to say.

But I'm not that really kind. I just did what I think is right. It's actually based on my mood. And sometimes I just don't really have a choice but to help

Damn, I can really just wake up and choose violence but I don't. I just don't.

"For that, I want you to be the medical-based manager of the basketball club."

Thank God...?

WHAT

"E-Excuse me, Sir?" I stuttered.

A medical-based manager!? Does that have something to do with me!? As much as possible I wanted to keep out of their trouble and avoid these basketball players but they just kept on getting in my way!

"What? It is also stated here," he took a glance at the clipboard on his hand again. "That Rukawa Kaede from class 1-7, said that you treated him twice. Sakuragi Hanamitchi from class 1-10, said that you're going to be a big help for the team."

"As much as I wanted just to scold them not to fight or get into trouble, I'm sure they will just ignore it, and even start trouble outside the school and I don't want such things to happen."

"To keep them in shape, I'm sure you're knowledgeable enough to be their medical-based manager."

That Rukawa guy? This is so troublesome. I can accept it, I can accept Sakuragi-kun's statement because most of the time he's really clueless about things, and he genuinely expresses himself, he likes to voice out everything he knows, and I understand that.

But this Rukawa guy. I didn't even think he's the kind of person to acknowledge someone's kindness towards him.

"(l/n)-san," I heard Akagi-san called me. "I know it would be bothersome for you, but I will be glad if you would do it. Our members, especially the first-years, I won't even deny it. They are really the pissed-off heads and they can easily be angered with small things because often they don't use their brains."

I swallowed hard as I fiddled with my fingers. I jumped a bit when I felt Anzai-sensei's hand on my shoulder as he glanced at me with his strange but genuine smile.

This kind of expression usually gets me.

Damn it.

"I'll do it, Sir."
