Chapter 4 - Punishment

╚═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════╝

Sitting inside the principal's office, the five Magnolians sat while being scolded - they were seated perfectly in a straight line right in front of both the principal's desks.

Lucy flinched as Principal Dreyar slammed his palm on the desk, looking furiously at his students. "Are you dunderheads out of your minds!?" he yells whilst José is reclined in his chair, his signature creepy smile plastered across his face. "Ms. Fiore said specifically that there was to be NO FIGHTING DONE, and you dimwits went and broke it THE FIRST DAY BACK. You all have major explaining to do..."

The room stayed in silence before Levy broke it, biting her lower lip as she decides to take defense. Yes, the girl who didn't fight was also getting in trouble. If she was there at the scene, the teacher told her, she was to be punished as well. "We originally didn't want to fight...but you see..the five Fioreans out there were pretty much bullying the announcer from this morning...."

"Yeah, they were mimicking him because of his little voice crack and pushing him against the wall.." Lucy says, backing up Levy.

Makarov leaned back in his chair as he massaged his temples. "José, have you ever taught your students that it's bad to bully..?"

José combines his hands together as his elbows rested on the arms of his chair. "Yes, all the time," he says, putting emphasis on his last three words.

"Well, obviously not good enough." Makarov looks over to José, a glare in his eyes.

José also glared back, clearing his throat in a spine tickling way. "How do you know their not lying, hm? Since your Mister Detective, here?"

Makarov looked back at Levy and Lucy as he spoke. "Those two are trusted by me. If it was Natsu or Gray, I wouldn't believe any of it," Gray and Natsu's faces showed confusion as they look at Makarov as if they had done nothing ever. "Erza is apart of the student council and knows if she lies she'll get her privileges taken away. Really, José, your students are obviously to blame."

"You're being soft, Makarov," José says, him and Makarov starting a staring contest, but with competitive glares. This went on as the teens in front of them sat and watched in silence before Makarov's telephone rang, disrupting the intense staring.

Makarov puts up his pointer finger saying '1 moment' silently before picking up his phone. "Hello?..... Yes, this is Makarov Dreyar.......You need me right now?.... Is it important because I am dealing with something right now... Okay, fine. I will be over in a few." he hangs up and sets his phone on the desk, looking up at the students. "I have been called to an urgent meeting so you all will get your punishment later, meaning you are to stay here and wait for me to get back."

Lucy sat straight up, interjecting. "What?! But, Mr. Dreyar, it's the first day of school...can't you just punish us tomorrow...or let it slide..?"

He shot back a glare at Lucy, making her recoil. "No, it's all of your faults that your in this situation, so you will learn to take the consequence." Makarov stands up from his chair, walking to the door and opening it. "I will leave José to punish his students alone, which should take up the time before I get back. Now, get out of my office and don't you dare think about fighting with those guys out there." he says, looking specifically towards Natsu who muttered a 'fine'.
