281 Chapter one, 2017, a new year: 4 (1/2)

Two days late Ulf returned to school. He got his arse handed to him by Amaya the evening before, and after that a desperate hug from her where she showed how worried she had been.

Then, to his enormous surprise, James appeared at the door, only to leave together with Amaya. Things had progressed in an interesting direction during Ulf's absence it seemed.

Right now he got his arse handed to him by the moron someone mistakenly had led into the principal's office. Said moron even tried pretending he held the competence needed for the job.

Ulf thoroughly despised the specific kind of incompetence inherent in the type of person personified by Kareyoshi. A small-minded, self-important narcissist who wrongly believed he had anything to provide to human society. In short the kind of person Ulf made short time of whenever TAP made a horrendous enough mistake when it came to employment. As those years went by, such mistakes became exceedingly rare.

Now, however, Ulf faced the prospect of spending his remaining years in high school with the arse as his principal.

It began in accordance with what Ulf had expected. As punishment for arriving two days late he got suspended for a week. A true genius! Someone plays hooky and you reward the absentee with another week of no school, rubber-stamped by the principal.

Ulf didn't mind. He'd learn more efficiently away from the classroom than in it. You didn't get two academic degrees by depending on the presence of a teacher.

Facing Principal Kareyoshi Ulf made an attempt at looking repentant. He failed gloriously.

Then Kareyoshi dropped the bomb.

”I'm going to disband that filthy club of yours.”

”I thought that was for the student council to decide,” Ulf said, still reeling from the shock.

”The former principal was your advisor. I don't plan to take on that role.”

”We could find another,” Ulf responded.

”No, as a matter of fact, you can't. Besides, the student council will do what I tell them, if they know what's good for their futures.”

'He openly threatens the student council? How fucking stupid can he be?' Ulf fingered the recorder in his pocket to make sure it was still on. 'Can't use it any-time soon. Just adding shit to pile on him for later.'

Because that was the problem. Kareyoshi was on the inside. The other side of the inside, but inside still. Flushing him out would only be possible if they could add enough shit to him to endanger the very organisation that lay behind the secrecy around the arrivals.

”I hope you're aware the exam results average for club members have risen substantially compared to the rest of the first years.”
