A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1207

Chapter 1207: Chapter 818 Had Been Wanting to Do This_3 Chapter 1207: Chapter 818 Had Been Wanting to Do This_3 “If you're talking about that fat pig, he's already out of here.”

Duanmu Ai spoke bluntly, leaving Niijima Makoto completely taken aback.

“Eh?”

“As principal, he let bullying and harassment in the school run rampant and even led to a student jumping off a building to commit suicide. He thought he could get away with saying he knew nothing about it? Hmph, not a chance. If he had any shame, he would've resigned voluntarily; otherwise, the board would've kicked him out the door.”

Duanmu Ai spoke quietly, then looked toward Niijima Makoto.

“Oh, by the way, I'm taking over as the interim principal.”

“Eh———-!?”

Needless to say, this was the most shocking thing to Niijima Makoto.

“Duanmu? You're taking over as principal?”

“I'll be in charge until a new principal is found. Don't ask why, and besides, only you and Kawakami Sensei know about this for now. Don't spread the word.”

“……Okay, I got it.”

To be honest, Niijima Makoto was also incredibly shaken at the moment, considering that a girl who appeared younger than herself had suddenly become the school principal…

“May I ask why you wanted to see me……”
“Of course, it's about the upcoming matters at the school.”

Duanmu Ai said, nodding her head.

“An announcement will be released tomorrow, and then everyone will know that fat pig is gone. Next, we have to start over with this school. The previous bullying by teachers and the suicide incident obviously made the students lose quite a bit of trust in the teachers and the school. We have to regain their trust.”

“But what should we do?”

It had to be said, Niijima Makoto was very much in agreement with what Duanmu Ai was saying. After all, she was the Student Council President and knew the current situation at the school very well.

“Firstly, that'll involve the Student Council. I'll issue a statement saying that if students have any concerns, they can come to the Student Council to discuss.”

“Wait, come to me?”

“Exactly. Simply put, we need to clarify what issues are troubling students. You categorize these issues and then bring them to me. I'll see if I can solve them–just don't make me run errands to buy manga.”

“Uh……In that case, why not let the students come to you directly……”
“I don't intend to reveal my identity. If students knew the principal was among them at school, it would make them uncomfortable.”

“That does make sense……”
Niijima Makoto had to admit that this was indeed an issue.

“So I won't show up. If you need me, just call on me in the name of the Student Council President to help with chores; that's less likely to blow my cover. We'll start from tomorrow, no issues, right?”

“I understand.”

Niijima Makoto nodded, and then she suddenly remembered something.

“Ah, right, President.”

“Just call me by my name.”

“Okay, Duanmu, President–no, ex-President once asked me to investigate the Gang of Thieves, should I continue?”

“That fat pig asked you to investigate the Gang of Thieves?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Ai frowned. She knew Niijima Makoto had been monitoring the Gang of Thieves' activities; she had thought that the latter was just learning to solve cases as a detective, not that it was a task assigned by a superior.

“Why? Did he think the Gang of Thieves were students?”

“Because the first case took place in the school. The President… the ex-President seemed to have been insisting that the Gang of Thieves were students from the school and wanted me to investigate.”

“……”
Faced with this unexpected information provided by Niijima Makoto, Duanmu Ai furrowed her brows in thought. Why would that cowardly fat pig actively search for the Gang of Thieves within the school? With his personality, wouldn't he just pretend not to see it even if he realized members of the Gang of Thieves were students, just like he ignored the previous bullying and harassment?

Quickly, Duanmu Ai made a decision; after all, she had already figured out who the Phantom Thief was.

“No need to investigate any longer. As long as the Phantom Thief doesn't cause trouble in the school, it's none of our business.”

“Okay, I got it.”
