Cardfight!! Vanguard: Generations Volume 1 [Yuuto Birth]

- Part 3

I watched as the A Class students, Sakigamiya and the two sensei left first. When they were all gone, I solemnly walked out of the student council room, my back hunched and hands deep in pockets.

After I left, Masamoto came out of the student council room and locked it. He sent a dirty look my way, then went off. I was going to hit him, but after the trial I had to put some self-restraint for once.

For some strange reason, Sakigamiya and Chabashira-sensei was waiting outside.

"What the hell are you two still doing here?" I asked.

Admittedly, I did feel a lot better seeing those two lovely ladies standing outside, waiting for me. It was like I had my own mini-harem. The super sexy Chabashira Shizuka-sensei, and the thigh goddess Sakigamiya Alice. Yeah, I was pretty happy with this strange outcome.

"I think that's the first time I saw you look weak." Chabashira-sensei said.

"Huh? Don't screw with me, I didn't look weak in that trial."

"Sticking up for your friends, showing regret, and begging not to get expelled. How uncharacteristic of you."

I flinched at her borderline sarcastic response. I didn't do all those things, did I?

"Huh? I'm not like that, sensei. You know that I'm a strong man."

"And that's the reason why this incident occurred in the first place. It's because of your foolish pride that any of this happened. Whether you're in the right or wrong is trivial. In any case, let this trial serve as a lesson to not let something stupid like this happen again. You were nearly on the brink of expulsion. You do understand that, don't you?"

I lowered my head.

"Yeah..."

"You're lucky that Tachibana-san was in charge of overseeing this trial. If it were anyone else on the student council, I can almost assure you that you would've been expelled. It seems he's also changing as a person too."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Even though I didn't care about him, I just wanted to talk to sensei a bit longer.

"The Tachibana-san of last year would've definitely agreed with expulsion. It seems he's taken pity on you after his own incident."

"Taken pity on me? Hah, like I need stuff like empathy from others. I would've fought with my last breath to overturn my expulsion if it did go through. Even if everyone else abandoned me, I would've gone to fight against the current of fate by myself!"

"And that sort of stubborn behaviour landed you in this situation in the first place. I don't think you've truly reflected on your actions, even after all that."

"Being stubborn can be a good quality."

I smirked and rubbed my nose. Chabashira-sensei gazed at me disappointedly.

"You're a ridiculous boy. Try to admit your mistakes, rather than shove blame to someone else, Yukimura-san. There's strength in recognising your own faults, and getting stronger from that as a person."

I scratched my head. I don't think I understood what she said, but at the same time... I feel like I grasped what she meant. Admitting my mistakes though... that's so unlike me.

As Chabashira-sensei was about to leave, Sakigamiya called out for her.

"Wait, sensei! I was wondering still... about Tachibana-senpai. What did you mean by "his own incident"?"

Chabashira-sensei looked over her shoulder.

"He was accused of sexual harassment by two girls. That's what I meant."
