HAPPY FISH Aya Fujii Tied Up

At St. Juan Academy's principal's office, Aya was caught by a disciplinary officer after sneaking out to the downtown district during mass. Even when reprimanded, she defiantly maintained her cocky attitude. I summoned her to the special disciplinary room to carry out re-education—failure was not an option, as I had to prevent word of her misconduct from reaching her parents. Unable to endure my words, she started whimpering and crying out just from having her buttocks slapped. After stripping her naked, I bound her tightly with rope and dripped candle wax on her body, causing her to scream and wail uncontrollably. I continued tormenting her until she was too exhausted to cry anymore, eventually reduced to murmuring pitifully, "I'm sorry. I won't do it again." Whether my re-education succeeded or not, Aya became noticeably obedient afterward. But I had no intention of letting her go. Until graduation, I made sure she would regret ever defying me. I gathered the school's delinquent gangs in the principal's office and announced they could torment Aya as they pleased. I believe in using the principal's authority to protect those who obey me. Even if it seems unreasonable, learning to endure quietly is the most important lesson one must acquire at school. Aya learned its significance through her own suffering.
