Ziggy sprinted to the entrance of the storeroom. After hearing the ruckus, he took out his phone, and set it to record mode before replacing it into his pocket.
"Jane, you've grown powerful now, haven't you?"
"Did you think you will gain influence just by having a genius student?"
"We asked you to buy us dinner last night after school. Where were you?"
"That's right! Did you know just how long we waited here?! Do you have a death wish?"
"I think now that Jane has a genius student, she thinks that her value has risen and no longer wants to do our errands for us!"
"That's right! Looks like we're all her personal assistants from now on!"
...
Jane replied weakly, "It's not that, I had something urgent yesterday, so I forgot..."
"Shut up! I think you're just a wretch who needs to learn your lessons!"
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since we reminded her of her place!"
"Isn't that so? I think she has forgotten who she is!"
...
Ziggy's tiny knuckle knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock— A moderately heavy rapping on the door disrupted the noise from inside.
"Who is it?"
A voice questioned from inside the storeroom.
Ziggy's lips curled up as he said, "My name is Ziggy and I'm looking for my teacher Ms. Jane. She has disappeared."
There was a pregnant pause in the room before an answer came. "You're looking for Ms. Jane? I think she went to the bathroom."
Ziggy's fingers danced on the digital panel of the door. A short moment after, the unlocking mechanism beeped quietly as the talking resumed in the room.
No one in the room heard the door unlock as Ziggy's lips curled up slowly into a devilish grin.
Then, with the littlest amount of force from his tiny hands, the storeroom's door was easily pushed open.
Ziggy marched into the dimly lit storeroom and flicked the light on casually.
About three to four professionally-dressed teachers were standing in the room while they had their hands pressed onto Jane, pinning her tightly onto the table.
Seeing Ziggy's sudden entrance, the teachers were dumbfounded as they traded confused looks.
'Did we not lock the door properly? How did this twerp come in??'
Ziggy's sudden appearance had made Jane worried, and even though her hair was as messy as it was, she still looked classier than the properly-dressed teachers in front of her.
"Ziggy, please leave!"
Instead of heeding Jane's words, Ziggy looked at the teachers. "Teachers, didn't you say Ms. Jane isn’t here?"
The teachers exchanged looks, and one of them immediately lunged forward to close the door.
At the same time, another teacher advanced and lifted Ziggy off the floor by his collar.
"Ziggy, is it? We would like to advise you not to poke your nose into somewhere it doesn't belong. This is a matter between us teachers, a twerp like you shouldn't get involved!"
Immediately, she loosened her hold on Ziggy and returned to the other teachers' side, panting.
She shuddered uncontrollably. Seeing Ziggy's icy gaze had reminded her of another person, someone familiar.
Unperturbed, Ziggy reached for a piece of wet tissue in his pocket and wiped his hand.
The lead teacher stared at the shuddering teacher. "You're useless, you can't even handle a runt!"
"What are you still waiting for?! Go and teach the runt a lesson!"
The two teachers went forward as they tried to catch Ziggy.
Jane, who was pressed against the table by the remaining two teachers, was anxious
Suddenly, the door to the storeroom opened up again with a beep.
This time, a gaggle of police and security rushed in, including the headmaster and reporters.
Seeing the scenario in the storeroom, the shock was the unanimous response in the room.
'What is going on?'
The headmaster looked at his phone. Just a while ago, he had received an anonymous text about some thugs appearing in the storeroom and that something was happening in there...
In his haste, he immediately called the police. After all, the students and teachers of the Minnow Nursery School were all precious! It would be a tragedy if any of them were hurt!
However, he could not fathom that his teachers would be the ones to incite the aforementioned school violence!
Not only were they terrorizing another teacher, but they were also enacting aggression onto a student!
Feeling the lull in strength behind her, Jane took the chance to break free of her aggressors and scrambled to Ziggy, taking him into her arms...
