Muxia's action of biting into her bread abruptly froze.
Right.
How did he manage to buy all these snacks?
Could it be...
Muxia and her deskmate exchanged a glance and then blurted out in unison, "Climbing over the wall!"
He must have left that way!
Otherwise, during the lunch break, with no teachers around, he couldn't have gotten a leave slip!
After speaking, the two of them quickly covered their mouths, warily surveying the people around them.
Luckily, it was lunchtime, when the playful ones had gone to the playground and the studious ones to the library, so the classroom was empty except for the two of them.
Relieved, Muxia and her deskmate let their hands drop.
You see, the school rules at First Middle School were strict. If someone found out he had climbed over the wall to leave, he would certainly be punished—lighter offenses involved a notice of criticism, while more severe ones were recorded in the files.
It would be too costly a loss by then.
