bsolute knowledge regarding these kinds of things, Muttsulini answered.

Oh, I see. So this was installed inside the girl's changing room—

"Eh? Isn't that peeping? Who would do such a thing?"

"Stop playing dumb! Who would do this sort of things besides you guys?"

Hearing this, Hideyoshi steps in and confronts Koyama-san.

"It's not like that. We didn't do such a thing! This dastardly thing of peeping—"

In order to prove our innocence, Hideyoshi got so anxious that his voice got hoarse naturally without anyone noticing. I should respond to that trust.

"That's right, we didn't do such a thing!"

"..(Nods head violently)."

While Hideyoshi refuted this, Muttsulini and I moved forward, only to be glared at by Koyama-san.

"So what's with this dastardly way of peeping?"

"..I..really can't deny it.."

"WHAT? IS THE TRUST BETWEEN US ONLY TO THIS EXTENT!?"

To think that Hideyoshi thinks that Muttsulini and I are of an equal level? I'm going to cry..

"I really didn't think that Yoshii-kun, you guys..will actually go to this extent.."

Among the crowd of extremely murderous girls, Himeji-san said this with an incredulous voice of disbelief. Hearing her say this, it's like we betrayed her trust, it really hurts and aches. BUT I DON'T REMEMBER DOING SUCH A THING!!

"Aki..I trusted you, why must you do such a despicable thing..?"

"Minami, if you really believed me, you wouldn't be preparing those interrogation tools, right?"

On a side note, I don't sense any trust from her at all.

"Himeji-san, you're mistaken! We're really..!"

"I'm angry! You actually went to peep on us while our stomachs were all full with dinner—my waist isn't normally that big, it's a lot skinnier!"

So that's your reason for being angry?

"My, my bust isn't as big as usual, you know!?"

"That's a lie."

"EVERYONE, GIVE HIM A GOOD LESSON!!"

"I'm, I'm sorry!! I accidentally said my true thoughts out loud!"

The girls quickly surround us, forcing Muttsulini and me to kneel down with stone blocks on us. Not good! The only person we can ask for help right now is—

"HELP, YUUJI!! HURRY UP AND SAVE US!!"

"..I won't forgive you for being fickle-minded in love."

"Hang on, Shouko! Calm down for a while GYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"Before you admit your deeds, we'll love you to our hearts' contents!"

Now Minami has finally revealed her sadistic personality. We'll die if we don't improve her mood! I don't like to lie, but we got to praise her a bit.

"Well, I have been looking at Minami's huge breasts you know GYYYYAAAHHH!!"

"Now for the first block."

I definitely praised her! She still dropped such a heavy object on my knees even after I did my best to praise her!!

"Yoshii-kun, so you've seen Minami-chan's breasts..?"

"Ah ha ha ha. Nar nar. Gentle Himeji-san won't want to drop something heavy on me right AHHOOOOWWWW!!"

"You should answer the question properly, you know?'

Nowadays, I feel that there's something more to Himeji-san's smile than a smile.

☆

Seems like I got too close to death a lot more times than usual today.

After 30 minutes of interrogation, we were released due to insufficient evidence.

"This is just added punishment..speaking of which, why am I the only one treated as a victim?"

"Yeah, that'll cause a misunderstanding."

"..There wasn't any visible evidence left behind in the first place."

Muttsulini, your words may end up bringing us back into the torturous Hell!

Oh yeah, Yuuji should be alright, right? Why hasn't he made a single sound yet?

"Yuuji, you alright? Why haven't you said anything yet?"

As I asked, Yuuji suddenly stood up as if he made some huge decision.

"..Isn't this perfect?"

The deep, angry voice bellows throughout the room.

"Eh? What's with you, Yuuji?"

"Since they won't be convinced even with all these, why don't we grant them their wish?"

His eyes are blazing with determination as if they're on fire.

"Are you really thinking.."

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Since they have decided that we were peeping on them, WHY DON'T WE JUST PEEP ON THEM BRAZENLY!!"

"Yuuji, if you really want to see Kirishima-san's naked body so much, why don't you just ask her?"

And we're already thinking about peeping on them while they're on their guard. There has to be a limit to stupidity.

"Wha, are you stupid? I'm not interested in Shouko's naked body!"

Man up and tell the truth, Yuuji, I'm really interested.

"Uh huh, are you thinking of searching for the culprit with the burn mark on the butt?"

"That's right. I already felt that it was too despicable, but since they accused us without any proof, there's no need to consider this too much. WE'RE GOING TO PEEP ON THEM AND CATCH THE CULPRIT WHILE WE'RE AT IT!!"

Yuuji's right. Since we're treated like peeping toms, we should have the right to do this. Besides, if I don't do this, those embarrassing photos of me will be scattered all over the world!

"..The camera and microphone just now were of the same model as the ones the culprit threatened you two with."

"What? Is that true, Muttsulini?"

"..Undoubtably."

"Really? Now that's a fact worth being happy about."

"Yeah."

"..(Nods head)."

All three of them fold their arms and respond in unison. Eh, about that—

"Excuse me..but what's the situation now?"

"Akihisa's still Akihisa. You can't even grasp this level of situation. Basically, here's how it goes." Yuuji takes out a piece of paper and starts to draw on it.

"The person who blackmailed you and me used the same type of camera and microphone inside the girls' changing room as the one used to blackmail us. Then, if the female culprit has a burn on her butt—"

"Ah, I see! As long as we can find the culprit with the burn mark on the butt, all the problems will be solved!"

Though peeping isn't something praiseworthy, we have no choice but to do this. This is for Yuuji, for me, our bright futures! Thus, we have to PEEP!

"But speaking of which, as long as things involve Kirishima-san, Yuuji would be extremely motivated. I'm really suspicious, is there really a need to go to this extent?"

That was a whole world of difference in contrast to his normally lazy attitude.

"..Actually, a while back, I was drugged by Shouko and got unconscious."

"I'm sorry, I forgot about that. It must have been really hard on you."

"The moment I woke up, I found myself kidnapped to her house."

So Yuuji got kidnapped to Kirishima-san's house. Since Yuuji didn't really care, she used such a hardcore method, huh? Kirishima-san really won't give up.

"Heh~so did you say hello to Kirishima-san's parents?"

"No, it's not that, her house--"

Don't tell me not just her parents, even her grandparents are living with her as well?

"--got my room prepared."

So Yuuji's about to take the last step, huh?

"If her family members hears the marriage proposal, my, my future will be.."

Seems like I'm getting used to Yuuji breaking down nowadays, however, a slightly broken Yuuji has a bit more variety. Oh well, that isn't bad.

"Er, guys, if we don't hurry, the bathing time for the girls will end."

"..(Nods head)."

"Eh? Hideyoshi and Muttsulini are going to help us?"

"Of course. My friend's in trouble, how can I just sit back and watch?"

"..(Nods head violently)."

As expected of my good friends; even if I got some unknown criminal record, even if it's really tough and not worth doing, they're still willing to lend us a helping hand.

"And I do have some responsibility regarding Yuuji's marriage proposal.."

Oh yeah, there's another reason to this. But the one who forced Yuuji to say this was me, so Hideyoshi has no need to be bothered by it.

"..I've already confirmed the location of the girls bathing area."

Muttsulini walks out of the room, his feet moving without any hesitation at all.

"Yosh! Yuuji, hurry and get up! We're going to peep! (Gives him a good hit)"

"Ugh—what's going on?"

"Now Akihisa's getting skilled in treating Yuuji."

This most likely is because Yuuji's been moving to that other world for no good reason.

"..There's now 40 minutes left for the later group."

Muttsulini checks his watch to confirm.

"No time left, we got to hurry."

"You're right, let's run."

"Got it!"

We didn't wear any shoes or indoor slips, only socks as we moved about on the corridor. Of course, this is to prevent footstep sounds from being made.

Maybe because the boys and girls bathing times are the same, we didn't meet anyone on the way.

"..After walking past the staircase and down a bit, it'll be the girls' bathing area."

Muttsulini stopped in front of the stairs.

In other words, once we get down the stairs and go all the way, we'll reach the girls' bathing area. Since the place is underground, we can't peek from outside, and had to go all the way down.

"Alright, we don't have much time left. So let's break through the last line of defense!"

"The goal's right in front of you." Yuuji said.

"""..(Nods head)"""

The 3 of us silently nodded our heads and dashed down the stairs at a terrifying speed.

Taking 2 steps down at a time, and then moving down the corridor towards the girls' bathing area..

"I heard that someone placed a video cam in the changing room, so I came over to stay guard. Didn't expect the culprits to really come over."

Looking around to find the source of the voice, the one that appeared in front of us was a familiar male teacher. It's Fuse-sensei, the chemistry teacher.

"What now, Yuuji? It's Fuse-sensei."

"Don't worry, we'll just knock him out with a punch."

"You should be worried, Sakamoto! I'm still a teacher, you know!"

"Got it, then we'll settle it with a punch!"

"What are you doing, Yoshii?"

This was to defend our innocence. Once we find out who the culprit is, everyone will forgive us! That's right, we're pursuing the truth! Justice will always be on our side!

"—However, I'll let you feel all this anger that I built up over remedial classes!"

"THAT'S JUST A SELFISH ACT OF REVENGE!"

My iron fist of justice locked onto Fuse-sensei, ready to fire out any second.

"GGGYYYAAA! Su, summon!"

Suddenly, a little body appeared in front of me and blocked my fist.

"A Summoned beast?"

I quickly jumped back and maintained a safe distance.

A familiar magic array appeared besides sensei's feet. At this moment, what appeared in front of me is a summoned beast of a rather high level, several times stronger than those of the poor performers. If it's a teacher's summon, this summoned beast should have an immeasurable power.

However, a normal summoned beast should be unable to touch humans or physical objects.

"Damn it! So the teachers' summoned beasts can touch physical objects?" Yuuji muttered bitterly.

Like what we're seeing, my fist got blocked by Fuse-sensei's summoned beast. In other words, sensei's summoned beast can interfere with physics.

"Ho, so I finally managed to catch up? Before Yoshii was designated as a 'punishment inspector', we had to experience it ourselves, so our summoned beasts can touch physical objects. Besides, who asked us to be teachers? We have to step in and stop the young from going rampant sometimes."

If so, Fuse-sensei should be rather used to controlling a summoned beast. Damn it, this situation's getting harder and harder to handle.

"But isn't this too despicable! Since you're setting your own questions, wouldn't your summoned beasts be too powerful!?"

Sensei's answers should be similar to those model answers! If we're to fight against someone at such a level, we can only remain in a disadvantageous position and can only try to get back up.

"No, this isn't a real battle anyway, so it isn't really despicable. Besides, you boys wanted to beat me up first, right?"

Adults are really despicable, always thinking of ways to trick us.

"And besides, teachers need to take tests. Our tests are set by teacher from other levels."

"Eh, really?"

"Well, since the principal's philosophy is that 'teachers themselves should be at a level competent enough to educate students'."

Really? Seeing the principal normally acting so nonchalantly, she sure is serious as an educator.

"Alright, time for you boys to be obedient, okay?"

Fuse-sensei's summoned beast got into a battle position, and when we're fighting against a summoned beast that's a lot strong than an ordinary human, we don't have a chance of winning if we don't bring out a similar battle ability.

"Is so, we should resist with all we have and beat down Fuse-sensei's summoned beast."

"That's the spirit! I'll leave it to you, Yuuji!"

Using Yuuji as a shield, I hastily moved forward.

"Hold it right there."

My shirt suddenly got tugged back. What? I'm rushing off to the girls' bathing area.

"Let's hear your chemistry score."

Oh my, really. You don't think you have a chance without me helping, do you? Can't be helped..

That chemistry test. Almost made it, what a pity..just one mark, yes, if I could get one more mark—

"—With one extra mark, I could have gotten a double digit score."

"Hurry up and scram, you useless piece of trash."

It, it's not what you think! I just accidentally miswrote my answers on the next question! It's not because my minds' bad!

"If the opponent's a teacher, it'll be tough for one person to handle. I'll stay as well, Akihisa, Muttsulini, hurry up and move on!"

Even if it's Yuuji, it's unlikely that he'll beat a teacher, so Hideyoshi decided to stay behind and help him. If they're working together, there should be no problems, right?"

"Then I'll leave it to you then, Hideyoshi. Come on, summon!"

"For the sake of clearing the name of my friends, this is nothing. Summon!"

Yuuji and Hideyoshi have summoned their summoned beasts, and the summoning mechanism set within the hotel reacted to their call, causing familiar patterns to appear on the floor.

In the blink of an eye, both Hideyoshi and Yuuji's summoned beasts appear.

"Muttsulini, as according to plan, leave this to Yuuji and Hideyoshi. We'll go—WHAT THE HELL, HE DISAPPEARED!?"

Muttsulini had already hastened his feet as he moved towards the girls' bathing area. What amazing movement; I've got to catch up!

"Oi, you two! Tsuchiya, Yoshii! Hold on a minute!"

"Sorry, Fuse-sensei, but I won't allow you to stop them."

"That's the case, so please stay behind and play with us."

I could roughly hear Yuuji and the others talking, but Muttsulini and I dashed forward without looking back. Just at this moment though—

"Hold it right there."

Another teacher blocked us.

"Ooshima-sensei." Muttsulini lets out a moan of agony.

It's expected that he would be like this, since to Muttsulini, this opponent is like a grand master! This person who came over, Ooshima-sensei, is in charge of Health and Physical Education.

But since the opponent is the Health Ed teacher, it might be good for us in a certain sense. Though Mutsulini is truly a rare national-class idiot when it comes to other subjects, his ability can really match a teacher. Seems like we'll have an exciting match between these two."

"Muttsulini."

"..(nods head)."

Muttsulini looks serious as he nods his head, walking towards Ooshima-sensei.

"..Ooshima-sensei."

"What."

"..This isn't peeping."

Getting ready to summon, Ooshima-sensei stopped what he was doing.

Seems like Muttsulini's not intending to fight right from the start, but will try to convince Ooshima-sensei. This is rare, especially for him.

"Then if it's not peeping, what is it?"

Seems like Muttsulini's tactic worked as Ooshima-sensei retorted. Maybe it'll be easier to convince him than Ironman? I got to see this.

"..This is—"

Though it's soft, Muttsulini's voice echoes inexplicably in my ears.

"—Practical health education."

"Summon."

Unfortunately, his attempt to convince sensei failed.

"I'll leave it to you here, Muttsulini!"

"..Summon."

Muttsulini looks unhappy as he summoned his summoned beast. Did he really think that he could convince Ooshima-sensei with that? If he really thought so, I can only say that he is one enigmatic guy.

"I'll go off first, Muttsulini! We'll meet up once you beat sensei!"

After leaving Muttsulini with these words, I ran on ahead.

"So you think you can take me? You brats better listen, don't ever—UNDERESTIMATE YOUR OWN TEACHERS!"

P.E. Teacher, Ooshima Takeshi, Health Education 663 points

F class, Tsuchiya Kouta, Health Education 424 points

"..eh?"

I continued to run, but stopped due to being shocked.

Did I see Ooshima-sensei's points correctly before I left? 663 POINTS..IS THAT EVEN HUMANLY POSSIBLE? DID SOMETHING GO WRONG?

"Did they change the marks or something..?"

"You idiot, we teachers will definitely not do such a stupid thing!"

My little mutter got a familiar response. This, this voice is—

"YOU APPEARED, IRONMAN!"

"CALL ME NISHIMURA-SENSEI!"

His back facing the girls bathing area, my eternal enemy Ironman, also known as Nishimura-sensei, stood there, his muscular and brawny body blocking me.

"Really, I guess you people don't know, but we teachers have to study as well! This is for us teachers to be professional!"

"Ah, I see. It's been tough on you~"

"That's right, an educator's life is tough." Ironman muttered painfully to himself.

Though I really can't see it, it seemed like it's really tough.

"On a side note, how much did Nishimura-sensei get?"

"I was busy relieving the ex-homeroom teacher, so I didn't have time to take my tests, and so I don't have any marks."

"I see, so in other words, you don't have any marks now, right? As expected of idiot Nishimura-sensei who has only brawns and doesn't have a brain at all."

"Yoshii, for safety's sake, I'll ask you this—what's your blood type?"

Am I thinking too much? Why do I feel like he's about to beat me down to death before transfusing blood back into me again?

"An, anyway, I got to get through! Move aside! Summon!"

I'll reach my goal as long as I get past Ironman! Got to get through no matter what!

Remedial teacher, Nishimura Sochi, combined subjects NONE

Class F, Akihisa Yoshii, combined subjects 929 points.

"BRING IT ON!"

Facing my summoned beast, Ironman only clenches his fists and gets into a fighting position.

Eh? Fists? Isn't he going to summon?

As far as I know, a summoned beast's power is several times stronger than an ordinary human, so only a summoned beast can only fight against another summoned beast. But it seems like Ironman isn't going to summon one.

"So sensei, did you forget that my summoned beast can touch physical objects?"

It's true that normally, an ordinary student's summoned beast can't touch humans, so Ironman can just ignore the existence of the summoned beast and go after the human. However, my summoned beast has the ability of the 'punishment inspector', which allows it to touch humans and use it's tremendous strength to easily beat Ironman. So in order not to allow me to do whatever I want, Ironman should summon a summoned beast to counter.

"You big idiot. How can I forget what kind of ability does the summoned beast of the one problematic student in our school's history has?"

"But if so.."

"Didn't I say it before, I don't have any marks."

Ironman answered me in an uninterested manner.

So without any marks, he can't summon? If so, this is a once in a million rare chance.

"If so, including all the hatred that I accumulated up till now—TAKE THIS, IRONMAN!"

The summoned beast aims itself at Ironman and charges over. I'll let him think that I'm attacking from the front before jumping to the side and throw my wooden sword at him from a blind angle—

"TIIIUU."

Before I could send out a heavy hit, Ironman swung his fist down.

"..Eh?"

The wooden sword lets out a clatter as it lands on the floor.

"How can something like this be possible! For an ordinary human to beat a summoned beast..!"

Something must have gone wrong. I shouldn't have used a weapon that I'm not used to, if I used only my summoned beast's strength to fight, I would have beaten him now!

"Yoshii, do you know why I didn't cancel your summoning rights up till now?"

Ironman quickly kicks my summoned beast lightly.

"GWWAH!!"

He merely kicked my summoned beast lightly, but it got kicked high into the air. Has he completely grasped the rhythm of my breathing?

"Oh my, good thing you're a punishment inspector. If it's just hitting a summoned beast—then it shouldn't be considered corporal punishment, right?"

Flying high into the air, my summoned beast is defenceless as it shows itself before Ironman.

"Eh? I never felt that corporal punishment—"

"GRIT YOUR TEETH AND DIE!!"

In an instant, I got hit by his fist 5 times.

"GUAH!"

The sharp pain that caused my sight to go dark reverberates throughout my body.

How, how can there be such a ridiculous punch? Just the recoil from the punch alone is enough to flip all the contents in my gut..

"However, since you did attack in a manly way, I won't let you get suspended. For gentle and kind Nishimura-sensei to be your opponent, don't you feel lucky?"

Ironman cracks his knuckles as he moves towards my summoned beast.

Not good, not good at all. A kind teacher would have let me off here!

"Oh my, I'm not a devil. I'll let you go once you take my counselling lesson—and that goes for those three as well."

"Eh?"

Looking over at where Ironman is looking at, Yuuji, Hideyoshi and Muttsulini were already subdued.

"Alright. First, you'll write a letter of remorse in English. If any word or alphabet is written wrongly, you have to rewrite it no matter how many times! Those who finished can go back to sleep."

Thus, the four of us ended up with the fate of having to kneel on the corridor and write a letter of remorse in English.
