No, Disciplinary Committee!
“Give me something to do?”
Minoru went dazed for a moment.
Looking at Hiratsuka’s somewhat “nefarious” smile, a strong sense of deja vu suddenly welled up in his heart.
Sobu High, no friends, care from a single female teacher getting up in age, sudden arrangement…
Combining these elements together was practically beyond familiar!
Minoru’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Was it finally coming?
That iconic plotline!
Even though he had read so many anime crossover web novels over the years that he felt sick of this trope…
When it was actually his turn, who wouldn’t want to see the cold and tsundere Yukino Yukinoshita with their own eyes?!
In a moment, she would surely be taking him to open the door of a secluded activity room, where a dark-haired, long-haired ice-cold beauty sitting inside reading a book quietly would be waiting.
Immediately after, he would be forcibly stuffed inside, coerced into accepting the “Problem Child Rehabilitation Plan”!
“Follow me.”
Hiratsuka ignored Minoru’s wild internal thoughts, standing up directly and striding out of the office in her usual decisive manner.
Minoru took a deep breath, suppressing the flicker of anticipation and excitement in his heart as he quickly followed.
The two crossed the hallways of the school building one after the other.
Along the way, Minoru had already begun calculating how he should say his first greeting to look classy.
However.
When Hiratsuka brought him to a halt in front of a spacious, bright office door, the anticipation on Minoru’s face instantly froze solid.
The sign on the door prominently bore two large words—
[Disciplinary Committee].
“…”
Minoru widened his eyes, staring at the door sign, then turning to look at Hiratsuka, completely dumbfounded on the spot.
Seeing Minoru’s bewildered expression, Hiratsuka raised an eyebrow and couldn’t resist asking.
“What’s wrong?
Look like you’ve seen a ghost.
Is this place that scary?”
“N-no…
it’s nothing.”
Minoru quickly composed his expression, coughing dryly twice to mask the embarrassment, “It’s just…
feels a bit sudden.”
*I thought you were taking me to the Service Club!*
Hiratsuka crossed her arms, leaning against the doorframe as she explained to Minoru:
“If you always rely on personal violence to solve problems privately, sooner or later you’ll get into huge trouble and turn into another kind of ‘perpetrator’.”
Hiratsuka’s expression turned serious and earnest; she was clearly considering Minoru’s future in earnest.
“So, I specifically recommended you to the school and student council.
Starting today, you are a member of Sobu High’s Disciplinary Committee.”
“With the status of a Disciplinary Committee member, you can patrol the school legitimately, maintaining campus order while also allowing the school to place some restraint on you, understand?”
Listening to Hiratsuka’s earnest words, the disappointment originally in Minoru’s heart was instantly replaced by a surge of wild joy!
Wait!
Disciplinary Committee Member?!
Legitimized campus patrols?!
Maintaining order completely legally and compliantly?!
Doesn’t that mean he could wander around the entire campus out in the open, searching everywhere for “evil events” like school bullying and rule violations!
Indeed!
He was a champion of justice!
He wasn’t some scumbag protagonist trapped in a cheesy harem novel!
Compared to being locked up in the Service Club’s activity room solving trivial relationship drama, becoming a Disciplinary Committee member opened up a vast, boundless horizon for him!
At this thought, the bewilderment in Minoru’s eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by an undisguisable gleam of excitement.
“Hiratsuka-sensei, you are a genius!”
Minoru stood straight and gave Hiratsuka a somewhat non-standard salute with absolute seriousness.
“Rest assured!
As a Disciplinary Committee member, I will absolutely make every inch of Sobu High’s grounds shine with the radiance of justice!”
“…”
Seeing Minoru suddenly acting super hyped up like he had been injected with adrenaline, even spouting out such chuunibyou lines, Hiratsuka’s eyelid twitched slightly.
Does this kid…
have a problem in the head?
For some reason, looking at Minoru’s eager-to-go attitude, Hiratsuka suddenly felt an illusion that she had unleashed some terrible monster.
“Ahem…
having this drive is a good thing, but remember, everything must follow the rules.
You can’t beat someone like you did yesterday!”
Hiratsuka massaged her throbbing temples, pushing open the Disciplinary Committee door.
“Come in, I’ll introduce you to the environment and grab your armband and patrol handbook while we’re at it.”
Minoru followed her inside right away.
The Disciplinary Committee office was quite large, housing several desks and filing cabinets.
Currently, two or three upperclassmen wearing “Disciplinary” armbands were sorting through files.
Seeing Hiratsuka walk in, several students hurriedly stood up to greet her.
Hiratsuka nodded, pointing to Minoru behind her: “This is Minoru Kuroe from Class 2-F.
Starting today, he is your new member.”
Then, she turned to Minoru: “This is Shiroyama-senpai from the third year, Vice President of the Disciplinary Committee.
If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, you can ask him.”
The boy named Shiroyama adjusted the glasses on his nose, sizing Minoru up from top to bottom, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
“So you’re Minoru Kuroe?”
Shiroyama-senpai had clearly heard about his exploits already.
Stepping forward with some excitement, he patted Minoru’s shoulder.
“Nice work!
We actually felt that Sakata wasn’t a good bird for a long time, but we just struggled to catch solid evidence.”
“You beat him up good yesterday!
Your actions brought us joy!”
“Senpai praises me too much; punishing evil and promoting good is only my duty,” Minoru smiled humbly.
It seemed the atmosphere in the Disciplinary Committee was even better than he imagined; at least these upperclassmen looked like a group with a strong sense of justice.
“Good kid!
Just for those words, your senpai will cover for you in the Disciplinary Committee from now on!”
Shiroyama laughed heartily and handed Minoru a red armband with white text.
Printed on it were two striking, prominent characters—[Disciplinary].
Minoru accepted the armband and solemnly fastened it onto his left arm.
[Ding!
Detected that the Host has obtained official law-enforcement status: Sobu High Disciplinary Committee Member!]
[Hidden Achievement Triggered: [Iron Fist of Justice (Beginner)]!]
[Achievement Reward: Miniature Detective Disguise Glasses x1.]
[Miniature Detective Disguise Glasses: When worn, slightly lowers presence, comes with built-in audio/video recording features, and video evidence can be directly transmitted to the system inventory for storage.]
Hearing the system prompt in his mind, the grin on Minoru’s lips was almost impossible to suppress.
As expected, joining the Disciplinary Committee was an exceptionally correct decision!
If he encountered a scumbag like Sakata again in the future, even without Veritaserum, he could directly record their crimes using these glasses!
“Since you’ve taken the job, no time like the present.”
Shiroyama-senpai handed Minoru a patrol handbook.
“It happens to be lunch break right now, and plenty of students like going to the old school building or the rooftop to smoke and fight.
Kuroe, your first task today is to do a patrol loop over by the old school building, any problem?”
“None at all!”
