Mrs. Hedwig seemed to be in a much worse mood than usual and even flat out mentioned she was very disappointed in the class. "I'm very disappointed in this class," she walked around her students as they froze in their seats, trying to hide their fear from her. "We've been in school for over a month and your work refuses to improve! Your essays were beyond my wildest nightmares with your poorly organized thoughts! Most of you should be ashamed of yourselves."

Robert took out a paper bag and started to breathe through it.

"I want to see improvement on you and I want to see it starting today!" Mrs. Hedwig firmly told her students. "Robert, you may begin with your oral report on New York City history!"

"You can do it, Robert." Akito assured his friend.

Robert was anxious, he collected his papers and took another deep breath, forcing himself to move to the front of the class. "Stay calm and everything will be alright." Robert reminded himself quietly. He adjusted his tie and looked to the class, stuttering a little with his words and anxious to get started.

"Robert," Mrs. Hedwig stopped him. "Does your report have a title?"

"Oh, umm... Yes..." Robert smiled nervously.

"And would you tell us what the title is?" Mrs. Hedwig demanded.

Robert gave the title, he looked to his friends to encourage himself to try harder, but the other students were laughing at him. Akito and Estelle began to tell him to just ignore the students laughter. Robert did his best to, but was unable to. Mrs. Hedwig silenced the other students.

'Finally, she did something useful.' Vincent thought to himself.

'You can do it, Robert.' Akito thought to himself.

Robert kept trying his best, but still struggled.

"Robert, stop looking at your friends," Mrs. Hedwig scolded. "They can't help you."

Eloise felt something inside of her break, that felt like the final straw to her.

'That tears it!' Akito thought to himself.

"Aw, I'm sorry, Mrs. Hedwig, I forgot what I was gonna say..." Robert gave in, not finishing his report.

"Absolutely terrible, Robert!" Mrs. Hedwig scolded. "Take your seat!"

Robert felt very bad.

Eloise raised her hand up high.

"Not now, Eloise!" Mrs. Hedwig told her. "Class, that was an example of the horrible work you've all been producing. You see, if Robert had bothered to do his work, he would've maybe been able to deliver his report. But, obviously, he didn't, and that is why he'll be receiving an F."

This made the Fudo cousins rage on the inside and they decided to show this teacher a thing or two. She was worse than how Cherry often acted, she may have been a cold, emotionless woman, but at least she cared about her family.

"Mrs. Hedwig." Eloise spoke up with her hand up.

Jenny gasped in fear for her. The Fudo siblings joined in with their cousin.

"Excuse me, you four..." Mrs. Hedwig glanced at the cousins. "Did I call on you?"

"No, but we have a question." Estelle replied.

"It can wait!" Mrs. Hedwig snapped at her.

"No, it can't!" Eloise stood up from her seat with her cousins.

Jenny wanted to do the same, but she was too scared to, she showed support for them though.

"We have had enough." Vincent said.

"Why do you have to be so mean to everyone?" Eloise added.

"WHAT!?" Mrs. Hedwig nearly shouted.

"Please, Mrs. Hedwig, we're all trying our best!" Akito spoke up. "But all you do is yell at us and push us around like we're your slaves or something! I think it would be nice if you tried to help us maybe a little and didn't yell as much, that's what our parents tell us, as long as we try, we're going to be just fine!"

"My mother tells me the same thing and I know she's right!" Eloise firmly agreed.

"Yeah and teachers aren't suppose to so negative towards their students, they're supposed to be fair and honest and never mean to them or even be evil towards them!" Estelle said firmly.

Mrs. Hedwig had enough of them. "You four are coming with us to the Headmaster's office," she made them come to the door and looked to the other students. "One of us shall return and one of us shall never come back, if I hear a word out of any of you in our absence, you will be in a lot of trouble!" she then shut the door behind her.

The students then stayed silent as they were left alone in the classroom.


"No matter what happens, we're glad that we spoke up." Akito smiled.

"Agreed..." Eloise had curved face that they were being sent to the office, but she did feel pretty good.

"She had it coming." Vincent agreed.

"Yeah, we only said what was true." Estelle said.

Mrs. Hedwig glared down to them and knocked on the door of the Headmaster's office. They were let in and the teacher told him everything that had happened. The Headmaster glared to the four kids and dismissed Mrs. Hedwig to return to her classroom.

"No matter what happens, no matter what he does, we won't regret for what we told Mrs. Hedwig." Akito told them.

"She deserves it..." Eloise agreed, taking their hands gently.

The cousins all held each other until their names would be called.


"Akito Fudo, Estelle Fudo, Vincent Fudo, and Eloise Fudo, please step into my office immediately!" The headmaster called for them.

The cousins all then went inside the headmaster's office; ready for whatever he had for them. On the inside, the kids were nervous, but tried to remain calm at any costs. There were four chairs in front of the headmaster's desk and they took their seats. It was now scary for the four as it was quiet in the room; almost scary quiet, but all four of them were not going to turn back and held each others hands and to wait for the headmaster's wrath.
