I'm Just a Supporting Character
Principal


I walked in a daze, tailing the supervising teacher towards the principal's office. As I walked, I could see all the disciples looking at me and pointing at me and then whispering to each other.


There's no way news of me is leaking that fast, right?


It happened just a few minutes ago! We cannot underestimate the gossip. Gossip is dangerous!


We passed through the classroom and finally reached the teacher's room. I kept observing the situation with my mouth twitching. How could this troublesome thing happen to me? Argha!


My holiday is really threatened this time! Is there really no hope...


The supervising teacher opened the door and we entered the teacher's room. But this room is not the destination. We still continued walking to the end past the teachers. There's a room in the corner. The room looks very VIP. This is the principal's room.


It's very awkward for me because the teachers look at me as I walk, so I keep my head down without paying attention to them.


The supervising teacher opened the door "Let's go in" he said.


I stepped in reluctantly. Inside the room the headmaster was sitting at his desk holding a pile of files. When he saw us coming in, he immediately moved his file to the side while looking at us.


"What actually happened? I've received the report" the Headmaster asked.


The Headmaster was an old man in his 50s, the same age as my father. His body was not short and not too fat. Even though he was middle-aged, his body was still good and sturdy. I remember the story in this comic. To be honest, I have absolutely no recollection of the role of the principal. She is a supporting role with little dialogue and also very rarely appears in comics.


But there's one thing I know. This principal is not a bad person. I know he's always been supportive of Rin and I'm sure he's a fair man.


The supervising teacher also told me everything that happened with excitement. He also added a word of provocation like 'this kid always falls asleep in class', 'never takes lessons seriously', 'just wants to play'.


I looked at the supervising teacher in annoyance. How could he say such a thing about me. I fell asleep too from the exhaustion of studying! It's true that I've never been serious about taking lessons, but that was before the exam.


After hearing the supervisor teacher's story, the Headmaster began to turn his attention to me. "A defense?" he said while raising his eyebrows.


"I don't cheat at all. I got that bottle of yogurt because a classmate gave it to me! I never cheat at all" I said, not to lose. How can you corner me like that? I'm not gonna lose, humph!


"Stop lying!" snarled the supervising teacher.


I looked at the supervising teacher with my mouth twitching. I'm not lying at all! But I dare not rebel like that. I was afraid that my attitude would be considered impolite later on.


"I'll think about it" said the Headmaster. "Can you tell me who gave you the bottle?" he asked Nana.


"That's Dian" I replied directly. "It doesn't make sense but they really set me up, Dian and his friends" I said.


"Alright, I'll call them" said the Headmaster.


The supervising teacher was not happy with the Headmaster's words. "How can he involve an innocent student and after all he has no proof. He could have accused the other students of his own fault." he explained.


I really want to hit this supervising teacher if I can. Was I that bad in her eyes until she didn't believe me?


***


Shin was currently busy with his phone. Darwin continued to speak beside him worriedly.


"How's this? I know that rabbit is stupid. But I can't believe he would cheat like that" Darwin said anxiously. "If he's cheating, he's very unprofessional" he said.


Then suddenly his body froze and he smiled. "I'm guessing he didn't..." Said Shin.


Then he contacted the Headmaster to clear up all the misunderstandings.


Darwin frowned confusedly when he saw these gestures of his best friend. But he did not care much about her and continued his chat.


***


The Headmaster wanted to call the other three disciples who were considered to be involved.


Then Ting! Suddenly the phone rang.


The headmaster checked his phone and his eyes lit up.


He looked at the supervising teacher with a smile. "Let the girl come back" he said as he pointed at Nana.


"Eh?" the supervising teacher widened his eyes in shock. "How can sir? Even though he used the money to clear up the matter, we still can't let go!" she insisted.


The headmaster's eyes narrowed and his tone sharpened. "Do you want to dispute my orders?" said cold.


"No. I don't dare..."


The headmaster looked at Nana then smiled "You can go back"


I was a little surprised by the attitude of the school captain. But I'm very happy. I am not being punished! Yeay~


Then my exam will be fine. I just need to wait for you to announce the results of the exam.


"Thank you sir" I said kindly while saluting. I stepped foot out of the principal's room with a relieved smile.


After Nana's departure, only the supervising Master and the Headmaster were left in the room.


"How could you do that? It would make those students disrespectful if we don't punish them" he objected again


"look at this" the Headmaster said as he showed his phone. Inside the phone is a cctv recording. Where four disciples gathered. Then one of the students started handing out bottles of drinks to the other students. They were Nana and the other students.


"The girl didn't lie" the Headmaster said.


The supervising teacher became awkward. Cold sweat started to appear on his forehead.


"What do you think? The decision lies with you. Do you want to punish them?" ask the principal again.


"Em.. I don't think it's necessary to overdo it like that, after all, it's just children's play." The supervisor's response was nervous. Fear the principal will take action.


The headmaster's eyes narrowed. He gave off an extremely cold aura. But the aura dimmed later. "Children's game yeah.you're right.." said the sarcasm.


"S.pak...pak..."


"Call 'em. I wonder what game they're playing" said the Headmaster, making the supervising Master sculpt.
