The blond boy stood in front of the gate of Didan High School, raised his head and looked at it for a few times, then raised his steps and walked in.
He no longer had any expectations for school.
Grade B, Grade 2.
"This is our new transferred classmate. Please introduce yourself." The blond teacher Judy looked at the boy who also had blond hair.
"Nikaido Takuichi." The young man looked shy, even a little scared, and the hand holding the chalk trembled slightly, but he still wrote his name on the blackboard.
"Is Nikaido-san from abroad?" someone asked below.
"No, I have been living in Japan." The blond boy shook his head.
"Oh~" There was a thoughtful sigh from below.
"Okay, Nikaido-san, you can sit in that seat." Judy pointed to an empty seat.
"Okay." The blond boy responded in a low voice, carrying his schoolbag to the empty seat.
"Now that the new classmates have been introduced, it's my turn as the new teacher to introduce them." said the female teacher with blond hair and glasses.
"My name is Judy, Judy St. Timilion, an American. I am your new English teacher. I think many of you have heard of me before." Teacher Judy introduced herself.
"Of course, we have long heard that there is a beautiful foreign female teacher, and she is indeed very beautiful." A student responded below.
"Thank you for the compliment." Judy smiled.
"Okay students, we are going to start English class." Judy reminded her as she clapped her hands.
After a class, Judy would always take a few glances at the new transfer student.
After all, transferring schools at this time is a bit suspicious.
But the other person looked like an ordinary, weak young man who was afraid of strangers.
Sometimes when he meets her eyes, he will panic and avoid her.
Judy shook her head inwardly, dispelling her doubts.
When school was over, Judy saw her new student again.
The figure of the blond boy looked lonely among the crowd of people around him.
Standing at the school gate were several teenagers with tattoos, pierced ears, and haircuts wearing school uniforms from other schools.
After seeing the other person, he smiled like an old acquaintance, put his arm around the other person's shoulders, and led them to a place.
Judy hesitated for a moment.
This new student...
Do you know these students from other schools? Are they friends?
She was thinking this in her heart, so she missed the best opportunity to follow up.
By the time she thought about it, those figures had disappeared.
Judy hurriedly picked up her pace and ran in the direction where she last saw them going.
Finally, I heard a sound in a corner.
The sound of fists hitting flesh.
She followed the sound and saw the scene of her student who had just transferred to Didan today being beaten and kicked by several students from other schools.
One of the figures even held a lit cigarette in his hand and pressed it to her new student's forehead.
Nikaido Takuichi was pulled by his hair and raised his face. He could not escape and could only accept the other party's behavior.
The green eyes were full of accustomed calmness and numbness.
"What are you doing?" Judy stood up and yelled.
"Tsk, here comes a golden retriever like this kid, a bastard or a foreign girl?" The figure who pressed the cigarette on Nikaidou Takuichi's forehead spat and cursed.
"I'll let you go this time, and let's play together next time." He patted the blond boy's cheek, his voice playful.
"Let's go." Several other figures let go of their hands, cursed and followed each other away.
The blond figure fell to the ground and stood up on his own.
"Are you okay?" Judy walked up and asked.
"Let me see..." She stretched out her hand to check the spot on the boy's forehead that was burned by the cigarette.
"Pa." But his hand was opened.
"I'm sorry..." The blond boy apologized in panic.
"I'm fine, I'm used to it..." He lifted his bangs and smiled reluctantly.
On his forehead, there were traces of a row of cigarette smoke.
In addition to the newly permed one just now, there are also some old wounds that look like they are four or five years old.
In other words...this bullying...
It lasted for at least four or five years.
It started when the other party was in middle school.
Judy's eyes became serious.
No matter which country you are in, school bullying exists.
Unexpectedly, she encountered such a situation when she became a teacher for the first time.
"Do you need me to call the police for you? Or contact parents? Or notify their school?" Judy proposed her own solution.
The young man's eyes showed no expectation from beginning to end.
"No need, they all know."
"I thought... I could get rid of them by transferring to another school..." His voice was filled with tears that could not be concealed.
"Obviously I have paid a lot to get rid of them..." He squatted on the ground, buried his face in his knees, and his voice was hoarse.
"Sorry, I scared you, teacher." After crying for just a moment, the boy raised his head, wiped away his tears, and stood up.
"I'm leaving." The blond boy picked up the schoolbag that was thrown to the ground and had several footprints on it, patted it and put it on his back again.
"Where is your home? I'll take you there..." Judy suggested.
"No need, today's service is over, they won't look for me again." The young man rejected her proposal.
A man left with his schoolbag on his back.
Judy stood there, watching the boy's back disappear, and finally returned to where she parked the car.
…
The fragility and bulliness on the face of the blond boy who turned his back to Judy disappeared completely.
Walking among the crowd with cold eyes.
"Sousuke, that brother's eyes look a bit scary." Elementary school student Ayumi said cautiously.
The boy with brown hair and blue eyes turned his head, met the gaze of the blond boy with green eyes, and subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, he seems to be very difficult to get along with. No one will like him, right?" Masaki Sousuke said in an innocent tone.
The blond boy listened indifferently to the nonsense of the guy pretending to be a primary school student, with eyes full of malice and ridicule.
But it only took a moment for him to regain his indifference again.
After walking through several corners, we came to a small alley.
"Brother Nikaido, you are here." Several figures who had punched and kicked him before were now standing in the alley in fear. When they saw him coming, they quickly threw away the things in their hands.
"I'm really sorry just now, we..." They subconsciously bowed at ninety degrees to apologize.
"You did a good job just now." The blond boy praised them coldly.
"Yes, you taught me everything well!" Several figures said respectfully.
"In a few days, come back and block me at the school gate. If you see the blond female teacher, leave." The blond boy ordered.
"Yes!" Several figures bowed to show that they understood.
Brother Nikaido must want to get to know the new teacher in this way! Let the new teacher feel pity for him!
