Kuoh Highschool, Kuoh, Japan

Perverts. That was exactly the right word for the trio composed of Issei, Matsuda, and Motoyama. And not, it is not a normal perversion that every male teenager had that appeared together with the curiosity for the opposing gender. The trio was kinda sick in their heads for it. But, incredible enough, Issei was the less 'sick' of the three. While the last two would act on their perverted minds by stealing clothes and going for an 'accidental' touch when they could get away with it, Issei was more like a respectable museum visitor: he would look, admire, and critique, but would never touch. Not without the consent of the other part, of course. Even so, the trio was a big headache for all the girls in the school, with emphasis on the ones that were part of a club that needed a change of clothes for their activities, like all the sports-related ones.

When the first complaint reached Erik's ears, he decided to act immediately. After all, Erik was the father of five cute girls and the favorite uncle for an even greater number of them, and he would hate to know that there was a group of perverts peeping on them at school, a place that they should have been safe for them.

So, it was at the end of the day for the club's activities, the period that he had heard from the girls that the perverted-trio acted with more vigor, that Erik decided to go 'pervert hunting'. He did a quick search for them with his senses on the school's ground and got the bullseye! On the back of the part of the building that housed the dojos for the clubs together with the changing room, the perverted trio was grouped around one point of the wall while being hidden by the garden bushes. Erik calmly walked around the school and arrived at where he had sensed the perverted trio. What he found was something that repulsed him a little. The three male students were grouped around a point on the wall where one of the three had his eye 'glued' to a point on it where Erik supposed was the location of a peeking hole. The action of peeping was not what had repulsed him, he knew that the curiosity was natural to the age that they were. No, what had him repulsed was their actions of them while doing it. The three of them were giggling in a perverted way while throwing comments about the development of the girls that they were peeping on's bodies. And they were not nice ones either.

Erik had the time to take out his cellphone and record an entire minute of their perversion until the engrossed boys noticed his presence. And when they did notice it, it was not the usual 'nice teacher Erik' that they saw looking at them. It was a different person that was looking coldly at them like they were some kind of dirt that he had under his nails, making the trio go pale on their faces instantly. The trio stood there, pale and in silence while Erik calmly stopped the recording function of his cellphone and pocketed it.

"You three, follow me."

Erik said in an authoritative and cold tone that would not accept a 'no' for an answer. He then turned his back to them and started to walk back to the building without looking behind to see if he was being followed or not. Some minutes later, which looked like the walk of their lives for the three boys, Erik arrived at his destination and briefly knocked on a door to a room that had a plaque that read 'Student's Councilor' on its side. After hearing an 'Enter' coming from inside the room, Erik opened the door and entered it. Inside was the school's psychologist, the one responsible to talk with students and discuss things with them. The nature of these 'things' could vary greatly. The woman, who was reading a book when Erik entered, looked at him and smiled.

"Teacher Ravenclaw! What a nice surprise. To what do I owe the visit?"

The woman asked Erik, who turned to look at the open door. From outside, Issei, Matsuda, and Motohama entered quietly the room and stood on their feet with lowered heads. They very much knew that they were in big trouble. The thought of running away had passed by their heads for a moment, but then they remembered that the person who had caught them peeping was not another student like the last time, it was a teacher. No, not a teacher, it was THE teacher. And he had a video record of them peeping.

"Ah. Trouble between students?"

The psychologist said after seeing the three male students.

"Almost right. Here."

Erik replied and then took his cellphone out of his pocket, passing it to the psychologist after selecting and hitting the play button for the just recorded video. The woman watched the recorded video with attention while the audio coming from the cellphone filled the room with the perverted comments coming from the three boys. A minute later, when the video ended, the psychologist gave the cellphone back to Erik and looked at the boys with a grave face.

"Take a seat, boys."

The woman said and then turned to Erik.

"Teacher Ravenclaw, you are welcome to stay for this conversation. The voice of a successful man would help a lot here."

The woman said to Erik, who gave her a short nod with his head in confirmation. While the three boys took their sit, Erik walked to the door and closed it, taking a seat of his own after. What followed was almost two hours of the two adults drilling into the boys' heads the wrongness of what they were doing. The worst part of it was that for two of the three boys, all the talking seemed to enter by one ear and exit by the other. The 'shame of being caught' aside, Motohama and Matsuda, looked very much like they would be there repeating the act tomorrow, just being more careful when doing it again. Issei, incredible enough, was the total opposite of his friends. The boy looked repulsed with himself when he heard what he and his friends had said in the recording from a listener's perspective, but what seemed to nail the idea of what they were doing was wrong through his head was when Erik asked the trio to imagine themselves in the place of the father of one of the girls that they were peeping on early and being told that there were three perverts at school that was looking their daughters' bodies as they changed after club's activities.

At the end of the two hours, the boys were freed to go home with a promise coming from Erik.

"If I hear any complaint about the three of you about something like this ever happening again, I will catch you and you will be invited to leave the school permanently."

Erik said, warning the trio just before the two adults left them free to go home for the day, what they hurriedly did. When there was only Erik and the Psychologist alone in the room, the woman turned to Erik.

"That last warning. Was it really necessary?"

The woman asked Erik, who nodded his head before giving his vocal answer.

"Yes. Unfortunately, two of the three students seemed to not care at all about everything that we talked about in these two hours, only answering what we wanted to hear. The warning will have a more strong effect on them."

Erik replied, making the psychologist think more about the boys' reactions during their two hours-long talk.

"Matsuda and Motohama?"

The psychologist asked Erik, who nodded his head in confirmation.

"Exactly."

Erik replied, making the woman let out a sigh in defeat.

*sigh*

When it was announced to the staff that the school was going to be co-ed, all the necessary personnel had received extra training to face the possible problems that could appear in a school full of hormonal teenagers. How to deal with horny male teenagers was a part of it too. Noticing that the school's psychologist's mood was turning sour, Erik retrieved a little package from his internal pocket without the woman seeing. He then put it on top of her desk, breaking the woman's train of thought with it. She looked at the small package and them to Erik with an inquisitive look on her face.

"A gift as thanks for the good work."

Erik said while standing up.

"Don't blame yourself for not managing to help them, Miss Shiro. One has to want to be helped before the help can help them."

Erik said while walking to the door of the office. He opened it with one hand and looked back at the woman again before going out.

"At least one of the three understood what we were saying. Have a nice rest."

Erik said with a smile on his face and exited the room, closing the door after him. Miss Shiro looked at her colleague exiting her office while thinking about his words. After some minutes, her attention went to the small package that Erik had left on top of her table. With curiosity, the woman opened the small package and saw a small pile with half a dozen of biscuits or more. With a small smile on her face, Miss Shiro took one of them and absentmindedly took a bite. Instantly, an explosion of deliciousness occurred in her mouth, making her let out a moan involuntarily. Fortunately for her, Erik had closed the door after he exited the office, and unfortunately for her, she would pass the rest of her life in search of such 'divine flavor'.

Erik and Miss Shiro's seemed to have some effect as predicted in one of the three students. On the next day, Issei Hyoudou looked for the girls that he had been peeping at the previous day and asked for their forgiveness while saying that he had been shown the wrongness of what he was doing. The girls ignored his words at first, thinking that it was only some kind of bet that he had lost to his perverted friends, but then they took his words more seriously when they saw him doing the same to the girls of other clubs.

Three months later, Motohama and Matsuda were invited to change schools due to them being caught peeping again on the girls while they changed clothes. The last time Erik heard from them, their parents had put both of the unrepentant perverts to study in an all-boys school to their horror.
