Resting for around 10 minutes, we got up and started to walk to the school with our bikes by our side.

  I didn't notice it immediately, but people were looking at Leona and me, not in a good way. She seemed to ignore all of that; why was she so carefree?

  When we entered css, everyone was looking at us, whispers everywhere.

  "Did you hear about the transfer student?"

  "Leona? Yeah, she is a criminal." – Huh, what are they saying about Leona

  "She came here to Japan after her parents kicked her out."

  "I heard she is a pervert like Hikari, no wonder she stays around her."

  I slowly made my way to my desk, and Leona followed me; she was sitting next to me.

  "Don't listen to them, if you want any expnations, better hear them from me", – She whispered while opening one of her notebooks.

  "We really need to talk after school. I want to know more about you,"- I whispered back.

  I just don't know things anymore. I know that my cssmates want to bully me and that they may make up things, but Leona is a criminal? What did she do? At worst, I thought she would be a delinquent who only got into fights with people.

  The csses were tense; I had just got into high school, and the number of things we had to learn was staggering; I didn't want to go to cram school like I did in middle school; that pce was torture.

  3rd break, after we cleaned the cssroom:

  "Hey, let's go outside a bit" – Leona waved her hand toward me, and I followed her outside.

  "Did something happen?" - I replied.

  "Not really, I saw you are still a bit depressed, some fresh air can go a long way" – She grabbed my hand and made me sit on the pavement outside the school.

  "Why are we sitting down? Our clothes can get dirty; this skirt is so hard to wash" – I pouted and then looked at how Leona was dressed; her outfit somehow didn't viote our dress code, which was strange. She is wearing dark pants, looks stylish, and a blue cardigan. Our school, unlike others, allows us to wear more types of clothes to school, but you rarely ever see girls dressed in pants around these parts.

  "Then wear pants and not a skirts; those are a pain to wash and even more of a pain to wear in physical education" – I am starting to like how she thinks; she gives simple solutions to most of the things I mention.

  "You are right, never really felt too good in skirts. But I am scared of the dress code in school and what if I viote it" – My attention drifts to someone, a teacher watching us.

  "Miss Leona and Miss Hikari, why are you doing on the ground?" - It's Mister Tsushima, one of the few teachers I know by name; he is a math teacher, and he has a reputation for bckmailing students, but I don't know if the rumours are true.

  "Talking and admiring the sky's view." - Leona quickly replied to him.

  "Well, I'll need to borrow Miss Hikari for a bit; I need to talk to her about her test scores.

  "Sure" – I rose from the ground and followed the teacher. He somehow led me to the back of the school, strange, but the teacher's office was there, so it did make sense; maybe he would invite me in.

  I have a feeling like someone is watching me, strange. I looked behind me, and there was no one.

  "Now, Hikari, you got a bad test score, you never attended css that day and the test was mandatory so I had to fail you, but there is a way that I will treat you favorably and let you retake the test without any extra hassle" – He is looking behind me, more girls are coming our way.

  "Mister, here is what you requested" – The 3 girls were shy; they didn't look at me, but I did recognize them as being from my css; they did look at me, not with disgust or pity, but like they somehow regret something.

  "Oh, ok, these are perfect. Now, Hikari, if you provide a picture showing your full body without any clothes on, then we can talk about the test scores and… huh?" - The teacher stopped.

  "Behind you, asshole!" - That's Leona's voice from behind the teacher? Wait, she followed us?

  "What the….? Aaaaahhhhhhhh" – The teacher slowly fell on his knees; I now realize that Leona first hit him in the throat since he was holding his hands at his throat, then punched him in the stomach, followed by pinning him on the ground using her body weight and violently jumping down on his body. Mr Tsushima was almost out of the air; somehow, Leona didn't make much noise, and nobody was alerted.

  "You 3, can you be witnesses and testify against him. Here" – Leona grabbed her phone and sent all 3 a message.

  "How did you know our numbers?" - All asked simultaneously.

  "It doesn't matter; that's a recording of him bckmailing Hikari. Take it to court. I have already called the police, and they will be here shortly. While at it, I will peruse your ptop files to see what you have here, cuz damn sure you don't only have math problems in here.

  In some weird way, Leona had the teacher's ptop somewhere nearby. It's strange, but I approached her and looked at what she was doing.

  "It's password protected, how are you gonna look?" - I stared at the ptop screen.

  "A little password won't stop me. Watch this" – I don't know too much about computers. Still, she entered the BIOS of the computer, changed some settings and then entered some weird menus that I didn't know existed in the start screen and opened a command window where she entered a command that changed the password for all users; how does she know to do these stuff? And she was quick at them, too; by this point, everyone was around the ptop to look at the teacher's file.

  "More encrypted files, huh?" - Leona smiled widely.

  "No problem, I can code a quick decrypter in a batch file, the algorithm they use is pretty simplistic I might say" – She grins ear to ear like a maniac. Well, I now know why they called her a criminal; she must have been involved in cybercrime; that's not that bad.

  Her hands moved quickly on the keyboard, and she managed to decrypt the files in due time.

  Well, let's just say I was horrified by what I had found, and Leona looked like she was about to kill the teacher with just the look in her eyes.

  "You seemed to like middle-schoolers way too much." - The teacher still couldn't move or even breathe properly from the beating that Leona gave him.

  The police did arrive, and long story short, he was arrested, and Leona was taken in for questioning, as well as the other girls and me; we weren't held long, but I was surprised that Leona didn't get any type of juvenile correction or detention facility visit.
