In an instant, Kugo lunged forward—splitting the air with overwhelming force—his strike aimed straight at Al's exposed back.
"I don't give a damn about some baseless rumors about you! Don't think you'll walk away alive—die, brat!" he roared.
However—
BRUKK!!
A hand appeared out of nowhere, catching the blow effortlessly with a single palm.
The force dispersed through the air, rippling invisible energy across the room like a vibrating wave.
Kugo froze, his eyes widening in disbelief at what had just happened.
"W-What—?!"
He staggered a step backward, breath knocked out of him.
Meanwhile, Al—the very target of the attack—merely yawned softly.
"I suppose you couldn't stand this drama either," he murmured under his breath.
Between Al and Kugo now stood a man with neatly combed white hair, wearing a teacher's suit with a gleaming nameplate pinned to his chest.
Sebastian.
"Mr. Sebastian?!" the Principal exclaimed in shock.
Sebastian bowed politely.
