Luan still doesn't feel well in the stomach, he doesn't usually eat that much chicken, he prefers vegetables and legumes, but it was the only way he found to "relieve" his host's desire to break bones, the first classes go normally, at break time the Guild meets in the cafeteria to settle the last details, before the meeting, Mary, the president of the Guild, gives Luan some information about the girls in question who bullied Olivia, there are three girls from the second year, there are many complaints about them, their last victim was Katty, but she got important evidence about the three of them, Luan reads the following account of Olivia's case in the incident book:
Notebook of Intercurrences:
First report - Year 1 student B reported that while she was in the cafeteria queue, she had to pick up snacks for students A, B and C several times, after a small disagreement in physical education class, student X accidentally bumped into Student B, and by the way ended up dirtying her uniform, after this event even with student X's apology, she took her uniform to the laundry, but even so she was harassed every day.
Students A,B,C at first deny the accusations, and say that they are all made up and that they haven't done anything, Luan knows that it will be a long debate if he doesn't find a way for them to confess, and have their punishments handed down to them, he notices one of the students as soon as Derick enters the Guild meeting room, he notices their interest, so Luan has the bright idea of asking Derick for help, Luan stands up and asks him to help him, Derick is aware of the situation at first he refuses, Luan then puts his hand on his stomach saying:
"Derick I just need them to confess, you can have your way, just try to get this to have the necessary outcome, otherwise all the work Katty's put into gathering information will have been in vain...me.... Ouch, I've got a stomach ache, I need to go to the bathroom..."
Luan quickly leaves the room, leaving Derick unable to respond. Knowing him, he knows that he has a sense of justice, he will do his best to help, he keeps peeking through the door and sees that Derick is walking to the table where they are, but in fact Luan has to go to the bathroom, leaving him alone with the three girls, Mary and Kenji are in a board meeting talking to Principal Luke Becker and the coordinator, Derick sits in the chair and crosses his arms, looking at the three girls, they are all excited because one of them has a crush on Derick, the girl B she constantly stalks sending him messages, but never gets an answer from him, so she asks:
"Why don't you answer my messages Derick, I've been sending them for so long?"
Girl C falls silent at Derick's response, he doesn't like having to talk about things like this, but since they're girls he's having to be more careful with what he says:
"You're going to be punished anyway, but you could at least think about your attitudes and improve them, now if you maintain your attitudes and don't even want to repent and maintain this kind of behavior being just students, do you really think you're going to survive outside? Things are very different out there, and don't think they'll be the best, you'll certainly be used and discarded, I myself would hate to have a person like you near me, who is selfish and doesn't even know how to admit their mistake."
The girls remain silent, but Girl A, grimacing, mutters:
"Pff... surely your ideal girl must be like Katty, the pretty and cute girls... that cheater"
Derick looks at Girl A, sighs slightly annoyed and says:
"Who is or isn't ideal for me is nobody's problem but mine...you're the ones being accused at the Disciplinary Board, and all you can think about at the moment is boys, you should show some repentance, ideally you shouldn't feign fake repentance, you should really reflect, well you've got a few hours left to admit it, so be responsible for your actions."
The three girls look at each other in awe, the Disciplinary Board will take place tomorrow, Derick gets tired of talking, so he gets up and goes towards the exit door, before leaving he says his last words, he decides to play with the girl who sends him messages and stalks him:
"Oh, and if you really want me to answer you one day, be really sorry, and admit your mistake."
The girl is surprised and feels hopeful. Derick leaves the room and bumps into Luan standing in the doorway, listening to the conversation.
"Oh, what a fright Luan..."
"Hm, well done, Derick, you made a good point."
"Hm, don't make me do that again, it's much more complicated to talk when it comes to girls."
Luan agrees, and slaps Derick on the back:
"Oh yes thank you, I know, I know it's complicated, that's why I left these complications for Mary to take care of, I'm getting ready for the next one with Tommy and San."
Derick raises an eyebrow and says:
"They're still giving us a hard time."
Luan agrees and sighs, looking anxious and irritated at the same time. As Mary returns with Kenji and Mary to the meeting room with the three girls, there is a hush in the room as they wait for the three girls to sign their confession, so that the Disciplinary Board can run smoothly. Derick goes to his classroom to get his backpack, and Luan has to leave because today is the DSO's first day at work.
While Luan waits for Derick to go to DSO, Luan goes to buy something in the Cafeteria, he ended up getting a little irritated and his stomach still wasn't right, and finally he didn't eat anything today, so his stomach is really empty now.

"I'm so hungry, I still haven't forgotten what you did to me yesterday..."
A voice pops into your head
"Don't get smart with me, idiot.... I have thousands of years of experience..."
Luan answers him quietly, but disguises it so people don't think he's crazy.
"That explains it then, you're very old, but even Grandpa Han isn't as grouchy as you are....haha"
"Cheeky prick...
Luan starts laughing, just as Derick is arriving and looks at the scene in question and thinks:
(He's so young, and he's already not right in the head... poor thing, it must have been stressful with those three, what complicated girls).
Derick nudges Luan and hurries him off to DSO:
"Luan, stop talking to yourself, you're sounding crazy like that...come on, we've got an appointment."
"Alone? That's another rude prick, he's forgotten that I listen to all of you...."
Luan gets up quickly, that voice in his head is really going to drive him crazy one day, it appears when it wants and at the time it wants, he mutters to himself:
"Shh, be quiet... I'm going to sound crazy like that."
Derick listens and thinks Luan is talking to him:
"What? Are you telling me to be quiet, Luan?
Luan shakes his head no, then waves his finger in denial and points to his head, meaning "it's the thing here", Derick rolls his eyes, he's forgotten about this detail for a moment, he's also still adapting.
"Can't you block him Luan, I don't know, do a protection spell?"
Luan agrees but retorts:
"You can do a blocking spell, just to protect memories, but it doesn't stop him from taking over whenever he wants, and right now I need to restore my memories when I was little, I feel like I need them again for some reason, and I believe that only the 'thing' can restore them."
The two arrive at the entrance to the DSO, which is located in a very large square, it is very close to their house, this will make it much easier for them, Luan looks out and says:
"Finally we're at the DSO, well it looks like an old church, not much has changed from the photo I have."
