Chapter Thirty Six

"THIS COUNTRY IS RUN BY IDIOTS," Yoshihisa Hanna, the female lead of our Amazing Romance novel, loudly announced with great pride and confidence. Her entire aura had this sassy cold vibe around her, but Julia could definitely feel that the wrath of the people around her was greater than that. 

'Oh my god, Hanna! You were never like this before!? What happened to the sweet Hanna that I always knew?!' 

"You, little disrespectful brats!" One of the cops barked at her. "Where are your parents? Did they not teach you how to respect your elders?!"

'Respect is earned not donated into a charity for hopeless idiots. ' Julia commented inside her head as she stepped into the fight saying, "She is just a child." 

"Exactly! She needs to listen to us adults!" The Cops yelled back at her. "Hey, kid! Go back home and mind your own business will ya?!" 

"...Listen-" Julia tried to intercept again into their snapping, "since you are older than her, just let her be. She is still young and a child," She shielded Hanna from their face, trying to cover up the evil intent of the Cops. 

"Who are you? Are you our teacher too?" The Cops told her. 

Hearing this, made Julia snap out of anger. Enough was enough to drag people into dirt and mud like this. 

"I'd rather die than become a teacher of some idiots. It's embarrassing you know?" Julia told them. "There is a reason I love my job at the prestigious Paradise Academy," Julia lied. 

Soon the argument became very heated between everyone, the Cops angrily lashed out at Julia as they snapped, "Shut up, you old fatty hag!" 

Julia froze. 

...

Old...

Fatty...

...Hag...

Old...

Fatty...

Hag? 

Her world ended right there and then.

"If she is an old fat hag, you must be a trash bag found in a landfill," Igarashi Keith coldly announced, finally as he opened his mouth. 

Usually, Igarashi didn't speak out because it was unnecessary for him to get involved into something that was generally stupid, but for some reason this made him pissed off. 

"And Trash bags need to be exterminated as they pollute our oceans, land, and our environment." He said coldly. "I will do my best to exterminate them all to protect our world." 

Like that. A raining hell of fire dawned on everyone.

"OH MY GOD! YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT!" A boy came running into the classroom door, almost sliding in as a fugitive on the run. His sleuth was so amazing that he landed right on his spot and yelled, "Guys! You won't believe it! Someone found Yoshida-sama and Nakashima-sama!"

It was like news on steroids. Everyone in Class-2A got up from their seats in surprise and applauded with cheers with such a beautiful surprise! The treasures of their class were back!! They were safe!

"Wooooo!"

"Time to party y'all!"

"Finally!"

"Yay!"

"Oh, Yoshida-sama and Nakashima-sama! They must have been scared!"

Tsuchiya Mina was the most surprised, had they already found out who kidnapped Yoshida Toshiro and Nakashima Arima. What an interesting development! She applauded gleefully with their return.

But how did this all happen? 

Tsuchiya Mina raised her hand and said, "So, who found them?" 

The boy who delivered the news scratched his head saying, "I-I don't know... the police are saying it's a weird old woman who is a staff member of this school." 

"Huh?" The other students scratched their head, "Is there such a weird old person?"

"...What about Sensei Julia!" A person said asking with a bright face. "She is after all one of the weirdest teachers I know at this school!" 

Everyone went quiet and silently sent a menacing glare at the person who said that. Weird old teacher? Sensei Julia?! She might be weird, but she didn't deserve to be insulted that way at all.

It had been decided. That kid is going to spend the Lunch alone for the rest of the school year. No one will dare to talk to him again, not even the other people from another class!  

"That sounds suspicious," Someone else commented. "There is no way Sensei saw Nakashima-Arima and Yoshida Toshiro in her own neighborhood!" 

The other people in the class agreed. After all Sensei doesn't even fit the profile image. How is that even possible? 

Besides that, it's way too coincidental. For a student of your class to be gone and then seen again in your neighborhood on the day you took a leave...

Was there more to it?

"YOU CROSSED A LINE, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE," Igarashi Keith said as he stepped into the fight exerting a powerful dominance over the group of taller adults. His presence was very powerful. He looked at the Police Cops who were shamelessly standing there insulting Julia. "There is a limit to your bullshit," 

He cursed at them as he pulled out his phone. "I recorded the entire conversation and the severely disrespectful remarks you threw at us without giving anyone a valid legal excuse or help," 

A video recording of the violent Police Officers yelling at them all was shown in great detail on his phone. And with this announcement, the Officers paled. 

Julia's jaws dropped one more time. How is that possible? H-how did he manage it so fast? 

'A-are you like a genius or something?' 

"I'm sending this to the Court if you put anyone up for arrest," Igarashi warned, "my lawyers will also come after you," 

"Ahh...." The Officers swallowed all of their words back in as they stared at the video recording. One of them paled, the other two were in shock as they said, "Y-you, can't do this," 

"I can and will," Igarashi said as he pulled away from his phone. "In fact, I can't wait for this video to become viral on the internet," He smiled darkly at the Officers. "If you want to insult a citizen, you should not exert your warrant or police authority to degrade this country's reputation," 

All of them took a step back from him. His powerful aura was supported by the powerful words that he had over all the others. 

...

Seeing that everything was frozen in time, Julia stepped in and then quickly said, "S-since we solved that problem... our primary focus should be on the investigation," Julia pleaded earnestly. 

"... Of course... I-I apologize," The Cops said as they bit their lips and bowed respectfully. "W-we will get to it immediately. I apologize for doubting and accusing you..."

Julia cranked up the fakest business smile possible as she said, "Of course, just don't go around calling everyone a criminal and an old hag," 

The Officers flinched with the attitude. "Y-yes, we understand," 

Coming to this resolution the officers decided to peacefully negotiate with the Chairman and possible suspects for this kidnapping. Hoping that everything in this crazy world would come to an end. 

That's what... Julia had sincerely hoped. She closed her eyes and prayed that everything would go back to normal. That everything could go back to the real-life Romance novel that it was supposed to be. 

Seeing that the conflict became resolved or somewhat solved... Yoshihisa Hanna turned around to face Julia, biting her lips, Hanna smiled subtly and said, "T-thank you Sensei for defending me," 

Julia was frozen. Her? Yoshihisa Hanna was thanking her?! After this girl literally bickered and threw lighting and thunder against the Officers without fear?! Julia became slightly intimidated. She knew she was scared of Highschoolers, but not like this. 

"O-of course not. Just don't get into scary situations like that again." Julia warned them again, "but I should be thanking both of you for coming to my defenses," Julia bowed politely as the heroine and villain of the novel. "Thank you, Yoshihisa-san and Igarashi-san," 

"Of course not, Sensei!" Yoshihisa Hanna cried back, "It's our fault for kicking into the problem... I just couldn't stand the thought of you being insulted and falsely accused," 

"Exactly," Igarashi Keith said as he nodded along. 

Julia sighed loudly as she rubbed on her foreheads. These students of hers... are really... troublesome and interesting in their own ways. As she pressed on her head, a question arose in her head. 

... Why were they here though? 

"Wait! What are you two doing outside, skipping your classes?!" Julia realized and quickly asked them both. "Did you think it was appropriate to skip the class because there was a substitute teacher?!" 

Both Yoshihisa Hanna and Igarashi Keith flinched at the sudden change in attitude. Afterall, Julia was going through her time period of sudden mood changes– it was called the second puberty! 

'Y'all really be gangsters to the Cops until I ask you why you skipped class, huh? These strange Highschoolers...' 

"If you don't explain now, there will be detention for both of you!" Julia announced.
