The following week there was a meeting in the square and the director spoke, saying he would take corrections of what had happened with an annoying tone.
All you hear is murmuring. Snaider showed up and in a serious tone called names of all those involved, and told them to report to management.
In that office was Alison, some of her class and almost all of the class 1 the director left to enter first the course where there were more involved, one by one everyone entered, then all of the class 2 that there were, the last one was Alison.
When he entered the principal's office, he found a mature man with black hair, black eyes and some beard and gray hair.
Pretty angry, he looked at him and said.
- Since one person can cause so much damage to a school's facilities by challenging almost half the class, the damage is not only material and physical, but what you did was challenge a whole system created to put everyone in classrooms that will fit their abilities and avoid making power differences so visible, but you have a level almost of a 2 year old.
-I have here your entrance results, you didn't stay in class one because of your social performance, and other weird stuff, which I'm going to find out.
-I was thinking about this incident, I should expel you and there wouldn't be any problems, but the strange thing is that several people interceded for you, so that you wouldn't be expelled, however you will be suspended for 2 weeks, in addition you will have to pay a fine, and you will have to do community service.
The director showed you the amount to pay for the damages caused in the event room, which would also have to be paid by the others involved and noted what happened at the time on your record
- You can go now and from today you will have to do the community service, he said.
..... .... ....
The room was a little empty, there were about 8 people missing among them Alison, everyone said that the most probable was that he would be expelled, representative Saul asked for a group to go and ask the principal not to expel him, well he is one of the best freshmen, the school currently participates in those games, and for him to be expelled will not be convenient for the next years, we discussed this for a while, until at the break time we went to the principal's office and talked to him. He told us that he had not been expelled, he had just been suspended for two weeks.
We were all surprised.
Two weeks is a long time.
- It was either that or get expelled, the man told us.
We couldn't tell him anything else, he had already been clear and with his look he told us
- They are not the only ones who asked not to be expelled, he added before we left.
After that we went to the cafeteria and in the hallway we found the notices of the suspensions and as he said the tour had been suspended for 2 weeks.
Everyone was whispering things, I just hoped the weeks would go by quickly.
When I got back to the classroom, Saul and the rest started planning how to teach Alison what we would see in each class, and we came to the conclusion that the people who understood her the most would teach her, no one objected to the idea, exactly in three weeks they would take some tests, to determine which ones would participate in the ones between courses.
Being the closest to Alison I went to look for him nearby in the gardens where I was told he might be.
And I saw him in a gardener's suit, he looked a bit strange.
- What are you doing here, Luan?
-I just came to talk to you and explain what the salon will do to help you. -I'm sorry.
-Don't worry about me, he said.
-Okay.
I saw the right moment to ask him why he'd been helping me.
-Alison, tell me why you're helping me.
He looked away from me, and he put his hand on his head.
-Well, you look a little bit like my teacher, well, you were the first schoolmate I met, I wanted to help you, he said.
- Do I look like your teacher?, that you tell me that is a little uncomfortable, siem...
In between my words Alison for a moment looked away from me.
-I understand, I answered quickly when I saw that he stopped paying attention to me.
From one moment to the next he pounced on me.
He was on top of me.
We were both on the ground.
-Hey, Alison, what's going on?
He didn't answer me and I saw a cut on his arm.
He got up quickly and took my hand, I didn't understand what was happening.
- What's going on, I kept asking him.
I looked back and saw two people in another school's uniform.
I understood that something had been thrown at us and Alison prevented me from being hurt.
We both walked away from that place and arrived at one of the coliseums.
- Can't you fight them?
-Because of their height and maturity they look like third graders, I can't fight someone from a higher grade, although it might buy you time to find a teacher.
He was right, but he looked a little pale and his arm started to turn red.
-I can't leave you alone, you look a little bad, maybe that's why they threw.
I grabbed him by the shoulder and we tried to get to the blocks where we were taking classes, but they caught up with us.
-What do they want, Alison asked.
-Lombardi says hello," said one of the men.
And one of the subjects moved quickly and tried to hit Alison in the face, but he crossed his arms to avoid taking all the impact.
The other guy was not far behind and almost at the same time he hit him in the stomach and managed to hit him.
Alison fell to her knees.
-Stand up," said one of the men.
They seemed to really want to hurt Alison.
I thought of going for help, but it might be too late, I took a dagger I had and attacked one of them from behind.
He was screaming and touching his back, trying to get it off.
The other one, seeing this, elbowed me in the neck, fell to the ground and kicked me in the head, in retaliation for what I had done to his partner, took my arm and temple him.
Alison was just recovering from the blow she had received, the subject realized this and went to finish him off, forgetting about me.
-It's nothing personal, but he's very upset by her boldness. Let this be a warning to you that bureaucrats are not to be trifled with.
He drew a sword and pointed it at his hand.
Alison stood up and wrestled with the man. The man responded by trying to choke him with his hands, and they both dropped the weapon.
That's how Alison started to lose consciousness.
While this was happening, I stood up and took off a necklace, it was shaped like a sharp crystal.
And I jammed it into her arm.
He immediately let go of Alison and with his other arm he hit me in the face.
I stood up.
-Do you feel anything? -You should be writhing in pain from the arm.
And he took off his collar as he was bleeding.
-I better cut your hand off to see if you feel anything.
He took that sword and turned to me.
And suddenly a watchman appeared at the door, watched what was happening and called out to someone.
The guy with the sword grabbed his companion who seemed very upset by his wounds, and they ran out of the coliseum.
Alison tried to get up and looked at me, then I saw that everything started to go black.
