The living armor named 'Gravel Stone' froze, however it didn't stay like that for long.
Uuuung
Gravel's body flared up, ready to run away, Carlos only stared, not worried in the slightest.
[Go ahead, If you want to break the 4th rule so badly]
[...]
Gravel stopped himself before doing something worse, he knew what It meant to break the 4th rule, of course he didn't know what exactly would happen but he did know he would face a fate far worse than death.
It was better to accept the punishment without resisting, this would lead to Gravel severely penalized but it was better than resisting and getting an even worse penalty.
[Wise choice]
The moment Carlos said this, Gravel Stone had completely disappeared from his spot.
[Gravel Stone has been sent to detention for 1 month due to breaking the 2nd rule which prohibits all acts of violence]
The words were declared to someone, however they were nowhere to be seen
[H-hooo]
Fiend who brought Carlos to the cafeteria took deep breaths. His task had been done exactly as Cale had asked of him but.
[...]
Cale was lying lifeless on the floor, eyes completely drained of vigor.
He's dead, or at the very least on the verge of it.
[Cale Dice....]
Carlos walked towards the cold body of Cale and spoke.
[In my memory I remember telling you that acts of vigilantism are prohibited]
[?]
'He's not going to'
Fiend froze by what Carlos had just said. But he knew what he was leading with this
[W-What are you-]
[Due to breaking the rules...]
Carlos pointed at Cale with his index finger.
[You will be sent to detention for 1 and a half months]
Cale's body then like a mirage disappeared in the air, the blood stained floor became clean and any trace of a student trying to survive were terminated.

While this was all happening
Cale was drifting to a place full of the unknown. Cold water kept dousing his back and slightly to the front, it was the ocean moving him along the small waves that raged timidly
Tranquility permeated throughout his entire body, he had already forgotten all the pain that was Inflicted on him, truly a miracle but Cale didn't know that, he couldn't even remember why a blood curling scream came out at the top of his lungs.
'Was I being dramatic? Did I really feel and experience that? No... what did I even feel In the first place?'
It felt like a lie, being and having been subjected to so much pain before and suddenly feeling at peace. It was a strange experience that made one want to savor this calm
In all of the large body of water, center of all of it was Cale treading the water In a horizontal position, floating above the fragile surface of the water.
His body motionlessly moved with the tiny waves of the calm water, not out of his own free will but someone else's.
He didn't know who or what it was, and he didn't have the smarts to find out the who.
So Cale did the only thing this strange place allowed him to do
Stargazing at the beautiful night sky above. Its stars shifted and moved constantly, different constellations forming and deforming into a variety of shapes
No other thought could fill his mind, not even the whispers he heard in his skull constantly ringing inside, let alone his speech
The only thing that could be seen and thought of was the night sky hanging limply above.
But this wasn't out of someone else's will, this was Cale's uninfluenced choice, he only wanted to carve the beautiful picturesque scenery in both pupil and mind.
He wanted to sear the scene in his retinas, so others could encapsulate the beauty shown, it felt a shame that only he could see this place and no one else but he also felt special for being the firs꩜^ to ever witness a place like this
Cale never was one known for being fond of taking pictures, but felt it was truly a shame that there couldn't be one taken when something this beautiful blessed eyes that could hold any significant understanding.
The starry sky was so unfathomably beautiful that Cale couldn't even feel the sensation of drowning in the ocean.
So entranced was he by the night sky that even the pain In his bleeding lungs seemed like a beautiful thing under this perfect art piece.
He never surfaced back up, only plunged deeper Into the dark ocean, a smile full of wonder and delight filled face were etched like a scribble on his skin. Cake never tore his eyes from staring at the picturesque sky, even as blood flowed from his teary eyes, mixing with the ocean that drowned his destiny whole.

"..."
A ceiling blushed under the intense glare of Cale, not able to recall what exactly happened detail to the hair, but was able to faintly remember that death flirted on his doorstep.
'A dream?'
He knew a dream very good was experienced but it was utterly impossible to recall with memory alone, his body also felt completely refreshed but there was a piercing ringing in his head.
"Ugh..."
A head was clutched in pain, trying to shield it from the flooding memories of how badly he got beaten up
'Where am I?'
Finally snapping out of it, the surroundings were thoroughly analyzed
'Is this....a classroom or a cell?'
The walls resembled the kind of wall you'd see in a jail cell, the chalkboard and lectern looked normal but what was most peculiar, was the position of the desks.
'All of the desks are facing.... the window?'
Every desk In the 'Classroom' faced the only window in the room where light poured in. It was a peculiar sight to anyone who saw it.
'What could be the meaning of this?'
Cale rested at one of the desks, close to the middle of the class. Attempting to see and find something he otherwise wouldn't unless he sat but there was nothing under the desks nor the other desks
step
A soft footstep made itself heard from behind, turning back to the source of the sound, only one look was taken at the figure.
'Carlos?'
The first thought associated the figure with one of familiarity
'No...it isn't him'
It looked like Carlos at first glance because the figure in front of was invisible, with only its clothes being the only visible thing but not only did it not have the iconic square glasses of Carlos, Its clothes were completely different from him as well.
'Is it a girl?'
Cale didn't know if these monsters had any genders and there wasn't really any non-offensive way to find out.
But the way it was dressed up made him confident it was a girl, the long skirt it wore, its invisible legs donned in black stockings and the pure white shoes its feet neatly settled themselves in with the black suit it wore a stark contrast from the white, these were all indicators that the individual here couldn't be a guy.
'She has...a medium and..compact sized heart'
Only true and laid bare facts were displayed. Cale only saw what could be seen that could be used as evidence to support his claims.
[Hello there, Cale Dice]
She spoke to the student twisting their body towards the chalkboard, she stood before the podium.
