Chapter 34

---

Inside a conference room a tense conference is being held. The conference is headed by F city competition committee chairman, Sherlock, and is attended by the principals and vice principals of the four schools competing for the single division championship—Tanhausser, Toro, Lett, and Melrose academy.

The representatives from Toro, Lett, and Melrose are glaring at the representatives from Tanhausser. Yet their furious glare only received compose smirks from Tanhausser principal and vice principal.

"What do you have to say for yourself, Mr. Tanhausser principal?" started Melrose academy's principal.

"What ever do you mean, Mr Melrose principal?" Tanhausser academy principal sarcastically asked back.

Slam!

"You know what I mean!"

Slamming his left hand on the table, Melrose principal pointed at the still compose principal from Tanhausser.

"Indeed. You're school's students were purposedly injuring our students." said Lett academy's principal.

"You better give us a proper explanation or else..." Toro academy principal threatened.

"...Or else what? You're gonna file a protest? Quit the competition? If you can show evidence that what you said is true by all mean, please go ahead." The Tanhausser principal taunted.

"""You!"""

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Our students purposedly injuring your school's' students? Everyone knew whose schools are doin what you've just claimed, you hypocrites!"

Hearing the three schools hypocrisy, Tanhausser academy's principal can no longer hold his anger and let out words ladden with sarcasms.

"Where's your evidence!" Toro academy principal stood and pointed at Tanhausser academy's principal.

"Back at you." Tanhausser academy principal quip with narrowed eyes.

The three principal were silenced after hearing the opposite party's venomous reply. They wanted to argue more but couldn't find the right words.

"Do the four of you have enough of useless bantering? If you do then be seated and let's discuss properly." said committee chairman Sherlock.

Toro academy's principal suddenly noticed that he is the only one standing and embarrasingly took his seat.

Seeing everyone seated, chairman Sherlock scanned everyone before speaking.

"I will not go around asking who started this facade because I already knew. Those who think that they will not be caught for exploiting the competition rules are naive. One should never understimate the competition committee for it had existed far longer than any of your schools."

Chairman Sherlock's voice was calmed and cold as he looked at the representative from Toro Lett and Melrose but one could feel the threats on that cold voice.

"There will be punishment for the intestigators but for now I want all of you to return to the venue and tell your students to compete with fairness, understood?" he added as he warned the principals from the four schools.

Though he included Tanhausser on when giving the warning, most of it were directed to the three schools—making the three principal pale.

Back at the venue, the audience, participants and netizens are waiting with bated breaths.

"What do you think the committee's decision would be?" Dianne asked Dylan whose seated beside her.

"It should be okay. The competition committee are not stupid. They will know how to properly handle this." Dylan answered with a smile.

"Right. Those three schools will surely get the punishment they deserve. Anyways, your plan to blow the situation out of proportion worked splendidly." Liz agreed while praising Dylan for having come up with such a plan.

"He-he-he-he! That's nothing. If this guy did not held back, we might not even need to compete for the group championship!" fatty Jing suddenly butts in.

"The hell are you talking about, you damn fatty?" Dylan growled at fatty Jing with annoyance.

"Bah! How long do you think we've known eaxh other? Do you think I don't know how sinisterly scheming you could be when annoyed? Hell, I still remember how you forced an abusive teacher from 3rd grade to resign!" fatty Jing ignored Dylan's displeasure and reveal one of Dylan's past deed.

"Eh?"

"Really?"

"He actually did that?"

Everyone's attentions focused on fatty Jing, curious of what he just said. Dylan on the otherhand could only cross his arms together and turn his head in annoyance, knowing full well that he could not stop the annoyinh fatty.

"He-he-he. Let me tell you it happened—"

"Ah! The principal and vice principal had arrived!"

Someone suddenly cut down what fatty is about to say. Everyone including the annoyed fatty turn around and saw the principal and vice principal walking towards them.

"Good work everyone, your earlier performance truly delighted us. The way you all acted to protect one another made me incredibly proud." said the principal the moment he arrived.

"We only did what we must, sir." someone answered.

"I know and that's the main reason I am so happy." the principal replied.

Dylan and the other students looked at the principal with smiles on their faces.

"Sir, what's the committee's decision?" The main team's captain Dexter asked.

"The competition will proceed as usual but all unsportmanly action will have to stop. Meaning you just need to perform properly and avoid purposedly harming the other participants." the principal answered.

"Will those guys from ths other schools agreed?" fatty Jing asked suspiciously.

"Relax. They have no choice but to agree or they'll be forced to forfeit." the principal reassured.

"Sir Principal, will there be an investigation?" Dylan finally asked.

Looking at Dylan, the principal smile widened. He knew that the plan to blow things out of proportion was Dylan's idea. Because of his action, the committee was forced to make a move. As such the principal could not help but look at this mysterious and monstrously powerful young man with approaval.

"There will be after the competition. Our school will also received punishment but it is assured that it'll be very light like paying a fine. On the otherhand, the three schools will be in hot water." the principal explained with a big grin.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Serves them right!"

"Hmph! I hope those responsible would lose their positions. It's infuriating how they used their own students for their own goals."

"Right. It's truly nauseating!"

While many of Tanhausser academy students are complaining because of the three school's dishonorable actions, an official from the competition committee arrives and made an announcement that the competition will resume shortly. He did not mention anything about the committee's decision of the earlier event but anyone with brain can easily figure out that the ones responsible for the earlier facade will have hell to pay.

After the announcement, the single competition resumed. Having gotten the orders from their school's higher ups to perform like they usually do, many of the students are finally able to breath out in relief. As such the finals of the single division restarted anew.
