Hearing the words of Mia and the other, Principal Rikka stopped in her tracks and smiled at them, asking, "Do you think Katou-san has taken drugs?"
Mia and Ogura Asuka shook their heads, "We didn't say that, it's just that Katou Mio's improvement this time is too great, it's hard to believe."
"Yes, we're not talking about reporting her or anything. We just want to say a few more words, every athlete's body is very precious, it shouldn't be taken lightly," Mia and Ogura Asuka weren't being sarcastic, they spoke very sincerely.
Seeing their attitude was not bad, Principal Rikka smiled and said, "I can assure you, Katou Mio definitely hasn't taken any drugs, her performance is entirely due to her own strength, there's no foul play involved."
Ogura Asuka suddenly asked curiously, "Then, could it be related to that person named Hikari?"
Principal Rikka raised an eyebrow, "How do you know about Hikari?"
Seeing Principal Rikka's expression, Mia and Ogura Asuka's eyes lit up.
This Hikari seems to really have something to say.
The two roughly recounted what the girls next to them had told them after watching the interview.
Then Mia couldn't help but ask, "Is that guy Hikari some kind of super amazing coach or something, or does he have some secret technique for track and field, that's why Katou Mio has improved so much in such a short time."
Ogura Asuka also curiously said, "Yes, yes! I really want to know this too!"
Looking at the two girls full of curiosity, Principal Rikka smiled and said, "Actually, there is indeed some trick to it."
Hearing this, the eyes of the two girls lit up.
Principal Rikka continued, "It's not that I can't tell you, but I have a condition."
The two girls quickly asked, "What condition? Please tell us!"
Principal Rikka smiled and said, "It's very simple, I actually quite admire you two athletes. As long as you withdraw from Seisei Girls' Academy and join our Seika Girls' Academy, I will tell you."
Hearing this, Mia and Ogura Asuka shook their heads repeatedly, "No, no, we can't just withdraw from the academy."
"Yes, the academy has invested a lot in our training."
Principal Rikka seemed to have anticipated their response, she smiled and continued, "Then I'll take a step back, you can keep your enrollment at Seisei Academy while also joining our Seika Girls' Academy. Then in the future, when you participate in track and field competitions, you will compete under dual enrollment."
"Anyway, matters concerning Hikari-kun are a secret of our academy."
"If you really want to improve your athletic abilities, you must agree to this condition, otherwise, no deal," Hearing Principal Rikka's decisive tone, Mia and Ogura Asuka struggled for a while.
Finally, they gritted their teeth and said, "Okay! If it can really improve our track and field level, we are willing."
They both want to be track and field athletes, the temptation to improve their level is extremely great for them, just like someone telling an ordinary student that enrolling in a class can get them into the University of Tokyo.
Seeing how Katou Mio improved so much in such a short time, like she had taken drugs, they naturally couldn't resist this temptation.
Principal Rikka, who had anticipated this, smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go, come to my office for a detailed discussion."
Watching Principal Rikka turn and leave.
Mia and Ogura Asuka quickly followed with their long legs, their full and impressive chests bouncing up and down with each step.

On the other side.
Hikari, who didn't know yet that he had been sold by a certain academy director.
Had just made up a few excuses to brush off the fact that he knew Katou Mio.
After listening curiously, Shiina Chizuru glanced at the time.
Then suddenly her expression changed, "Oh no, I forgot I had something to do, Ms. Shirakawa, Ms. Tsukishima, I have to go, bye!"
Earlier, she had borrowed a book from Ms. Tsukino and agreed to return it to the office shortly after school, but when she was about to go, she saw Hikari and forgot about it.
After saying goodbye to Shiina Chizuru, Shirakawa Miwa also left arm in arm with Tsukishima Kyouko.
Before leaving, she advised Hikari to go home early, otherwise she would worry and such.
Hikari smiled and agreed, then also packed up his things.
At the same time, he occasionally responded to the vibrating messages coming from his phone.
The three gyaru, Reina, Yukina, and Ruri, who had slept until the afternoon, seemed to have rested well and had been urging him to hurry home to have a tooth party.
Probably because they had tasted the marrow and knew the flavor, these guys.
Hikari shook his head, glanced at the sunset sky outside the window, and walked out of the classroom.
Some are happy, some are worried, while Hikari was happy because he had bet on Katou Mio to win and made a lot of money, many gambling addicts were also in despair.
.
.
.
In the classroom office.
Teacher Tamura, with sparse hair and a belly as big as a ball, was staring at his phone screen with an extremely ugly expression.
His face showed a very unpleasant expression, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, and threw his phone to the ground with a fierce throw.
"AHHHHH! It's over!!!"
"This damn Mia! Why are you so unambitious? You didn't win the championship! Do you know how much money I bet on you?"
"Twenty million! A full twenty million yen!"
"Damn it! I went bankrupt, even embezzled public funds, just to support you, and you couldn't win the championship, you really deserve to die."
"And that bitch named Katou Mio! How could you be the champion, how could you be the champion?"
"Did you take drugs? That girl must have taken drugs, right? Will there be a rematch? There will be a rematch, right?"
"AHHHHHHH!!!"
Tamura was furious, cursing and shouting, anxious and making a scene, even banging his head against the wall.
He vividly portrayed the scene of a gambling addict's loss.
After a while, he calmed down.
"It's over, it's really over."
"A rematch is impossible, I've completely lost the bet."
"Why do I always encounter such bad things, why am I always so unlucky."
"It's really over..."
Tamura held a passbook in his hand, his face ashen.
"The funds for the holiday trip are due next month."
"I just wanted to borrow a little, make some money and return it, I never intended to embezzle public funds."
"But I can't pay back this more than ten million yen. If this continues, if I get caught, I'll be fired, no... I might even be sentenced, right?"
"With a meager high salary, taking care of these brats, and managing such troublesome funds, can't I just have a bit of good luck? Why is my luck always so bad!"
Tamura held his head in his hands, his face full of pain.
He began to ponder hard.
"No, this can't go on, I don't want to be fired, if I get fired now, I definitely won't be able to find another job, my wife and children will leave me."
"What should I do, think carefully..."
"Got it!"
Tamura looked at the desk opposite him, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"I just need to secretly put the travel fund passbook into Tsukino's desk, then anonymously report him to the higher-ups, and the director will immediately come to me to verify this, right?"
"At that time, I'll pretend I don't know where the passbook went, as if it was stolen, and finally find this now empty passbook in Tsukino's desk drawer... hehehe!"
"That bastard Tsukino, making me lose face in front of the students, I'll fix you good!"
Tamura picked up the passbook and quickly walked over.
"While the office is empty now, I need to be quick, quick!"
"The beloved teacher Tsukino becoming a morally bankrupt embezzler and being dismissed, just thinking about it makes me happy..."
Walking to Tsukino's desk, Tamura stuffed the passbook into the drawer, a smug smile on his face.
Suddenly, his body stiffened, as if he had thought of something.
"No... no!"
"I was the one who withdrew the money, if they check the bank surveillance, wouldn't they know it was me immediately?"
"And there are many points in this plan that could be exposed, upon calm reflection, it's full of holes."
"Damn it! Damn it! What should I do!"
Just as Tamura was anxiously racking his brains, almost going crazy.
A beautiful figure with long straight purple hair appeared at the office door.
"Teacher Tamura?"
Hearing this sudden voice, Tamura was greatly startled, he quickly closed Tsukino's drawer, then turned around to look at the person.
"It's... it's Shiina-san, right?"
"You... what are you doing in the office at this hour?"
Tamura looked at Shiina Chizuru, although his legs were already trembling, he still tried to appear calm.
Although Shiina Chizuru noticed that Tamura's expression was a bit off, she didn't pay attention.
Having a very poor impression of Tamura, she casually asked, "I need to find Teacher Tsukino, do you know where he is, Teacher Tamura?"
"I don't know, you... go look somewhere else," Tamura just wanted to quickly get rid of Shiina Chizuru, to avoid being discovered for embezzling public funds and trying to frame someone.
Shiina Chizuru immediately turned to leave, suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Tsukino's not tightly closed drawer out of the corner of her eye.
She asked strangely, "That... why isn't Teacher Tsukino's drawer closed properly? I just saw, was it you who opened it, Teacher Tamura?"
"Just now I also saw you seemed to be holding a passbook, could it be..."
Hearing Shiina Chizuru's words, Tamura broke out in a cold sweat.
'It's over! She saw! Damn it! I'm finished!'
'Wait... she's just a student, so, there might still be some way and room!'
Looking at Shiina Chizuru's puzzled eyes, Tamura suddenly had a brainwave.
He pretended to be calm, while explaining with a wave of his hand, "No, things aren't as simple as what you saw."
"Originally, I didn't want students to know about such things."
"But you seem to have a good relationship with Teacher Tsukino, right? Since you've seen it, I'll tell you."
"Actually, Teacher Tsukino... embezzled public funds from the school," Tamura said with a look of helplessness.
"WHAT? Teacher Tsukino embezzled public funds?", Shiina Chizuru showed a look of surprise.
Tamura continued to pretend to be helpless, "Actually, I didn't believe it at first, but because someone anonymously reported it, I was assigned to collect evidence."
"But we all know Teacher Tsukino's character, this must be a misunderstanding, how could he do such a thing."
"I thought so too..."
"Until I saw this, I was really shocked."
With that, Tamura took out the passbook he had just stuffed into Tsukino's drawer with a look of regret, and said, "Look, this is the evidence, the holiday travel deposit in the passbook is almost gone."
"These are all evidence of Teacher Tsukino embezzling the deposit!"
Unable to see through Tamura's feigned regret, Shiina Chizuru murmured with a grimace, "How... how could this be, I don't believe Teacher Tsukino would... would do such a thing... no... it can't be..."
Seeing that Shiina Chizuru still hadn't left, Teacher Tamura was also anxious.
'Damn it, why hasn't this damn Shiina left yet.'
'If another teacher comes into the office and finds out, what should I do, adults aren't as easy to fool as these kids!'
