Kaoru Igarashi's gaze fixed on Yuka as she grinned. " That's the kid from before, right?" she remarked and proceeded to walk toward them.

Yuka felt uneasy as Kaoru extended her hand in her direction. However, Yukihira intervened and shook his head at the older girl, cautioning, " Stop, you might just devour her," he whispered.

Kaoru chuckled and returned to her seat on the couch. Yuka's eyes widened in fear, thinking, 'She's quite intimidating.'

The door abruptly burst open, revealing Yukihira's co-teacher, who appeared frantic. " Yukihira Sensei!! Finally, I've found you!" the teacher exclaimed, panting and leaning against the door frame for support.

Yukihira inquired, " What happened?"

" The elementary division student, Narumi-kun, has been showing embarrassing pictures of teachers &*^!$!! Please help us!" the teacher implored. Yukihira couldn't help but sweatdrop upon hearing the other teacher's predicament, while Yuka awkwardly scratched her head, thinking it had indeed been an unusual day for her.

'Shouldn't have come with Sensei,' Yuka sighed and glanced at Yukihira Sensei.

Yukihira, once again, dragged Yuka with him. When they arrived at the scene, they found a boy being carried by a teacher and a group of students as if they were his servants.

" Eh?" Yuka exclaimed as she looked at the mysterious boy.

" Anju, what are you doing?" Yukihira questioned him, his brows furrowing in confusion.

Anju Narumi glanced at Yukihira Sensei nonchalantly and retorted, " I felt tired walking, so I'm taking my horse carriage for a ride."

Yuka sweat dropped, whispering to herself, " Higher authorities must be obeying his orders."

" Stop that now!" Yukihira exclaimed, intending to put an end to the child's unruly behavior. Yuka flinched at the teacher's raised voice but kept her eyes on the blonde-haired boy, whose purple eyes were mesmerizing.

Narumi shrugged his shoulders and then snapped his fingers, signaling the "carriage" (the students and the teacher with a horse helmet) to set him down. " Happy?" he taunted Yukihira with an indifferent expression once his feet touched the ground. Narumi stood with his hands in his pockets, gazing at the frustrated teacher.

" You fool!!!" Yukihira snapped, his patience wearing thin due to the student's disrespectful behavior toward teachers and fellow students. However, he couldn't entirely blame Narumi, given the other students' view of him.

The "horse" teacher smiled at Jinno, trying to pacify him. " There, there, Jinno Sensei... No need to get angry," he offered.

" Your attitude leaves you vulnerable to bullying by these students!" Jinno retorted to the "horse" teacher and glared at Yukihira, who was scratching his neck.

" I didn't meet your expectations... just punish me with more missions; why should you even care," Anju Narumi hissed and glanced at the teachers with his usual aloof expression. " Funny how you treat me like I'm special behind my back while expressing how disgusting and dirty I am..." his tone shifted as he berated the adults.

Yuka was taken aback by the boy's behavior but couldn't help feeling pity for him given his situation.

" The way you all constantly judge me—makes me sick. As you all expected, I've become disgusting and dirty... I've had enough of all of you!!" Narumi rebuked, raising his voice slightly.

His eyes fixed on Yukihira, and he pointed an accusing finger at the teacher. " Annoying teacher, go away!" he shouted, but Yukihira knocked his head in frustration.
