Hard way.

Ayase was depressed about Ayane’s condition. She decided she needed to take action about this bullying.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s too much!”, she said, gripping Ayane’s hand as she was lying on the hospital bed.

“Mom, I know you are angry but this is my injured hand. It hurts if you grip it like that.”

“Eh?!? Sorry Ayane!! I didn’t realize I was gripping your injured hand!!”, she yet again proved her dull-headedness.

To get her revenge legally, she first went to the principal of the school and filed a complaint a few days later after Ayane got her medical leave from the hospital.

“I transferred my daughter to your school hoping that you would treat her nicely, and this is what you do to her??!!”, she slammed her reference documents on the principal’s desk.

The principal was quite shocked at what had happened. Ayane was a famous actor, and she got those referrals from a colleague of hers, it's an honour for someone of high status to give a normal school referral.

“My deepest apologies, Ma’am! I will immediately look into these actions!”, he said in a panicking tone.

“And I am complaining about the homeroom teacher too!”, Ayase said.

“Mom!! I told you that there is no need for that!”, Ayane intervened.

She had respect for all teachers, and complaining about them did not sit right with her in any way.

“No Ayane, I have changed my mind. She needs to learn her lesson! What if she does the same to another student?”

That was a valid question that Ayane couldn’t reply to.

The teacher, Masato and some other students in her class who were involved in this were given detention. The principal was even planning on Masato’s expulsion.

“No! I don’t accept this!”, Ayane again used her veto.

“Why Ayane?”, her mom asked.

“I just… cant. It is going to ruin his life, maybe forever. He might’ve made a little dent in my life, but that doesn’t mean I should ruin his.”, she said.

Ayane has grown. She had said something that made her mother and her homeroom teacher, who was standing in a corner proud. Her thoughts about Ayane changed and became even better.

“You are so kind-hearted, Ayane!”, her mother hugged her in front of the principal and the homeroom teacher.

“Mom!!”, she shouted embarrassed.

“Sorry sorry. I just couldn’t help it.”

Ayane decided to forgive Masato for what he had done, but society thought otherwise.

“I didn't expect you to do this, Masato! You have disappointed me!”, Masato’s mother screamed, “You are grounded. And your phone is confiscated!”

All of the culprits who were involved were angry at Masato. After all, they were only following what he said. They decided that they had to take revenge on this matter.

The other students didn’t fall back in this regard too, they also teamed up against him after the detention was over.

Now the tables were turned, and he was experiencing the same medicine she had given Ayane.

On just one occasion, he lost all his friends, made them enemies, became the most hated in the school and disappointed his family.

He learned his lesson the hard way.
