The living armor who was named Gravel Stone froze, however it didn't stay like that for long.
Uuuung
Gravel's body flared up, ready to run away, Carlos simply stared and spoke.
[Go ahead, If you want to break the 4th rule so badly]
[...]
Gravel stopped, he knew what It meant to break the 4th rule, of course he didn't know what exactly would happen but he did know he would face a fate far worse than death.
It was better to accept the punishment without resisting, of course he would get severely penalized but it was better than resisting and getting an even worse penalty.
[Wise choice]
The moment Carlos said this, Gravel Stone had completely disappeared from his spot.
[Gravel Stone has been sent to detention for 1 month due to breaking the 2nd rule which prohibits all acts of violence]
Carlos declared to someone, however they were nowhere to be seen
[H-hooo]
Fiend who brought Carlos to the cafeteria took deep breaths. Fiend had done exactly as Cale had asked of him but Cale.
[...]
Cale was lying lifeless on the floor, eyes completely drained of vigor.
Cale died, or at least on the verge of it.
[Cale Dice....]
Carlos walked towards the cold body of Cale and spoke.
[In my memory I remember telling you that acts of vigilantism are prohibited]
[?]
Fiend froze by what Carlos had just said.
[W-What do you]
[Due to breaking the rules...]
Carlos pointed at Cale with his index finger.
[You will be sent to detention for 1 and a half month]
Cale's body then disappeared, the blood stained floor became clean and any trace of Cale's attempts to survive were all terminated.

I was drifting, I felt like I was in an ocean, my body felt tranquil, I had forgotten all the pain that was Inflicted on me, I didn't know why, but I couldn't even remember why I had screamed at the top of my lungs.
Was I being dramatic? Did I really feel and experience that? No... what did I even feel In the first place?
It felt like a lie, I had been in so much pain before and suddenly I felt at peace.
I was treading water In a horizontal position, floating above the water.
I was motionless, not out of my own free will but someone else's.
I didn't know who or what it was and I wasn't smart enough to find out.
So I simply stared at the beautiful night sky above me, Its stars shifted and moved constantly.
No other thought filled my mind, the only thing I could see and think of was the night sky.
This wasn't out of someone else's will, this was my choice, I wanted to carve the beautiful picturesque scenery in both my eyes and mind.
I never was one that was fond of taking pictures, but I felt it was truly a shame that I couldn't take one when something this beautiful blessed my retinas.
It was so beautiful that I couldn't even feel the sensation of drowning in the ocean.
I was so entranced by the night sky that even the pain I felt In my lungs seemed like a beautiful thing under this perfect art piece.
I plunged deeper Into the dark ocean, a smile full of wonder and delight filled my face as I kept staring at the picturesque sky even as blood flowed from my eyes, mixing with the ocean that drowned me whole.
***
"..."
I stared at a ceiling, I couldn't remember what happened to me, but I recalled that I was close to death.
A dream?
I felt like I dreamt something very good, my body also felt completely refreshed.
"Ugh..."
I groaned as I clutched my head in pain, memories of how badly I got beaten up were included, however I couldn't remember the nice dream that I had when I fell unconscious no matter how hard I tried to recall it.
Where am I?
I snapped out of it and looked at my surroundings.
Is this....a classroom or a cell?
The walls resembled the kind of wall you'd see in a jail cell, the chalkboard and lectern looked normal but what was most peculiar, was the position of the desks.
All of the desks are facing.... the window?
Every desk In the 'Classroom' faced the only window in the room where light poured in, It was a peculiar sight.
I sat at one of the desks, close to the middle of the class.
step
A soft footstep was heard from behind me, I turn back and look at the figure.
Carlos?
This was my first thought the moment I saw the figure but
No...it isn't him
It looked like Carlos at first glance because the figure in front of me was invisible, with only its clothes being the only visible thing but not only did it not have the square Iconic glasses of Carlos, Its clothes were completely different as well.
Is it a girl?
I didn't know if these monsters had any genders and there wasn't any way to find out.
But the way it was dressed up made me confident it was a girl, it wore a skirt, its invisible legs donned in black stockings, it also wore pure white shoes.
[Hello there Cale Dice]
She spoke to me, she stood before the podium that also faced the only window of the room.
[You are probably wondering where you are correct?]
I opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off.
[Ah I heard you were mute]
She wrote in something that looked like a notebook.
What is she writing?
I couldn't tell and I wasn't curious enough to ask her.
[I will explain to you what had happened while you were unconscious]
My ears perked up at those words.
[First of all, this place is detention]
What? why am I-
[The reason for why you are here is simple]
She kept speaking, regardless of my shocked expression.
[You broke the rules]
"..?"
What the hell is she-
[Acts of vigilantism are strictly prohibited, this is why you were sent to detention and will stay there for 1 and a half months]
"..."
I paused, I wanted to refute what she said but.
Technically she isn't wrong....
From a teacher's perspective what I had done was actually an act of vigilantism, though barely.
Poof
Something appeared out of thin air, It was books, my books
They fell on my desk, the invisible woman continued speaking.
[Those are your books, read them, every important thing in the book has been outlined and highlighted for you to understand more easily]
That's surprising? they are making it easier for me to survive?
The woman scoffed
[Of course, If you don't read them, no matter how easy we make it for you to understand It will all be meaningless if you don't open the book in the first place]
Is she...making fun of me?
[Well that is all, bye~ I hope you enjoy your solitary confinement~ Well... it isn't really one if you've got a neighbor, right?]
She disappeared, she was gone completely, not a trace of her remained in the classroom, I couldn't even open my mouth to question her.
"How the hell am I supposed to survive here for 1 and a half month here?"
I spoke, expecting my voice to come out, but
Huh...
Nothing came out, something as simple as a voice should've come out when I opened my mouth to speak but this time I couldn't.
I couldn't speak whatsoever
H-How, no why can I not
I panicked, my palms were drenched in sweat, my breath turned ragged quickly, I heard a loud thump In my head.
It was my heart and it was beating so fast and so loud that it drowned out any other sound that I made.
I stood up, my legs felt weak, but I forced myself to move toward the door.
I gripped the handle and pushed.
"Hmp!"
Nothing, I tried to pull it but I was met with the same result.
"Ha.. Ha.. Ha.."
I spent a lot of time trying to open the door with various other method like kicking it, throwing a desk at it and all sorts of other ways before giving up.
'What Is this door made of!'
I tried instinctively talking but only a weak squeal came out of my mouth.
I stared at the door once more, I took a few steps back, then I sprinted and-
Crash!
Threw my body at the door.
I fell down at the ground and stared at the door whilst panting.
It hadn't even bent slightly.
Well if throwing a desk or kicking it didn't work, It wouldn't have made any sense If the door suddenly broke simply because I threw my body at it.
I got up to my feet, I patted my clothes and then laid my eyes at the only window in this room
My feet started moving towards it before my mind could even tell them to move.
I reached the window and looked at the ground.
"..."
Where in the world did they shove me in exactly?
I couldn't see anything below, a void was all I could see. However when I looked up.
A clear bright sky and a bright sun met my vision, the difference between the two was clear.
My hands moved and tried to open the window.
It wouldn't budge at all.
I was completely and utterly sealed in.
I felt like a caged animal, stripped of any freedom and forced to do one thing.
My eyes lock onto my desk.
Study
I walked back and sat down at my desk, taking the opportunity to study with no distractions since I knew I wouldn't get a chance like this again.
