Another Order of Expulsion.
"First, I was given an order of expulsion because I was weak, I was the weakest and didn't have any money. I was about to get expelled because of being weak,"
"Really?" I nodded.
"When, Ryan?" Gwen asked.
"When I lost my parents in an accident, Mr. Johan thought I don't have any money to pay the tuition fees, as I was the weakest they wanted to expel me. But that's when I proposed them for a Leveling game. But for making it touch enough, they matched me against the school's third spot holder, Robert Capron. That's how I saved my expulsion, by winning against Robert,"
"Is it true?" Rigid asked. Robert nodded.
"And now… when I have gained my power back, when I am not the weakest anymore, when I am in the top ten community still they want to expel me. Well, we can't stop it from happening. Strong or not you will get expelled. That's how it will be,"
"We can't go against principal either. If we went, we will be suspended or even expelled. If Dr. Mary went against him, she will lose her job and will never get on in any of the academies. That's how it works," Devon said.
"Okay. I will wait till the Principal gives me an official order of expulsion, the time he does, I will happily leave this school. I don't wanna argue and after what I did, I don't think I have any right to protest,"
"I can't believe this. He was just fucking trying to protect his mates… this is really tragic. Can we really not do anything?"
"You… are Naomi Mitsuda, half-Japanese half-American foreign exchange student right?" Rigid asked. Naomi nodded her head.
"You. You have lost your spot in the top ten,"
"W- what? Top 10?! Seriously?"
"Naomi is in the top ten!?"
"I expected that to happen. The moment I got up to fight against that fucking perverted guy, I knew using my Trait will lead me to lose my rank in the top ten,"
"Dumb! You are really dumb, Naomi! Really stupid! What did I tell you? I told you to keep away from this shit, to not to get involved in this shit, you will lose all of your reputations but you still-"
"But… after seeing Ryan put his own reputation, his own life literally on the line just to fight away some guys who were bulling Pete for fun… I thought that yeah if this guy can do this then why the fuck I can not? Why can not I forget about ranks and regulations for a while and fight with such devotion as him?" She looked at me. I was flushed.
"You are the idiot, Ryan" huh, come on, you are not supposed to get shy after cursing someone, Naomi! "You were really cool though," she looked away from me. She's acting like a tsundere. Is she a one though?
"I was moved because of him. I ended up using my Trait, knocking that person out, and lost my rank in the top ten"
"Naomi Mitsuda. I think Mr. Johan will change his mind cause he didn't kick Devon out. Not a single teacher voted against Devon, so I think he will bring you back. You were supposed to hold the sixth spot after all," Robert grinned.
"Sixth? W- what is your Trait level?!"
"Five. Exactly five,"
"Y- you are strong, you must be strong, Naomi," Gwen reacted. Naomi shook her head. She lifted her head at me. I smiled.
"Who knows if I am strong just because won some little leveling games beating students for no reason, just because my Trait level is high can't guarantee I am strong..." she stared at me with shy eyes, "Cause the Trait level of an idiot standing half-naked there is only three but still he stood there stronger than anyone by beating Academy's third spot holder and beating the shit out of a bully whose Trait level was a whole point more than his," she looked away.
'Wh- why am I being called an idiot here?' I thought.
"Hm, we can't judge someone based on their Trait level," Doc added.
"That adds it up all. That is what the meeting was about. I hope something comes up and Ryan's expulsion gets canceled," Rigid said. I gave him a light smile, "If you had this power with you all along, why didn't you used it from the start?" Okay not this question again, "I hope you don't get kicked out of this school. I wanna have a fair all-out fight with this new Ryan Walker, with his new power,"
"Guess my Trait has awakened," I joked.
"Eh, no way!" Gwen jumped.
"Haha, maybe who knows, it takes a lot of training for someone's Trait to evolve, but if you say so I will believe cause we all can see your power,"
"I was just kidding, Rigid..."
"So am I. But yeah I sure want an official fair all-out fight with you one day,"
"Sure. I will if it is an official fight. I don't like fighting without a reason though, but if it's an official fight then I will. My Trait level will go skyrocketing if I won against you, just kidding"
"Sure. I will just be satisfied if I am able to beat you. Surely your Trait level is not what it seems, your power surpasses that of Devon and Robert,"
"Haha, how can you-"
"No it really does, Ryan,"
"What do you mean, Devon?"
Knock knock knock.
Three knocks on the door. We turned our eyes at the infirmary's door.
"Greetings, sir" Doc greeted Mr. Johan. Students bowed their heads but I didn't. He walked inside, walked, and stood right in front of me.
"Sir,"
"I see you have already heard about things from your friends here," he looked at Rigid and Robert. I nodded, "Ryan, I told you there won't be a second time, remember?"
"Hm, I do"
"Good. I didn't want a drama here. Ryan Walker. You are officially expelled from the WN Academy of Superpowers for the second time,"
"Sigh okay, what can we do" I shrugged.
"Sir. Is there anything-" I lifted my hand to stop Doc from saying anything further.
"Doctor Mary. Even when you left the conference in between I believe you have still seen the way Ryan's fight, and you have also seen Colm's face, haven't you? Speak another word your job will be in danger,"
"Sir," I looked straight into his eyes.

"You wanna expel me? Sure, I don't care about this fucking school,"
"Mind your words, Ryan Walk-"
"Oh! You mind what your words. Do you want me out of this Academy? Oh sure! I don't fucking need this either. But..." I moved closer to his face. He was smaller than me in height. I lifted my index finger and pointed it at him. I opened my mouth, words were just about to come off.
"Ryan! Stop, please stop speaking! Don't speak anymore!" Doc cried. He was staring at me, I was staring at him. I didn't speak anything.
"Come here," she pulled me back.
