"This is outrageous. How exactly did a fight break out with the students we invited to our facilities for the debate?" asked the director of Seaford High School.
Daisy heard all this commotion as she was in the school board meeting and had to find a solution with the teachers of this place.
Carmen, Daisy's rival, said in a cold tone, "We know that the kids we invited from Del Valle School were the ones causing the problem. How can we deal with them based on our rules?"
"You're jumping to conclusions, Carmen. You can't sentence my students based on the arguments of a few confused kids from your school," Daisy coldly halted Carmen's arguments and, looking at the director, said, "From what I heard, my kids defended one of your students who was being attacked by his classmates. Then his friends came, and they confused the benefactors with the culprits."
The director furrowed his brows and, looking at Daisy, asked, "Are you saying this whole fight was based on a misunderstanding?"
"That's too hasty to consider," Carmen said, discreetly looking at Daisy.
Daisy looked at Carmen and asked, "What exactly do you want to confirm?"
"They can't get away with causing such a big commotion. How exactly do you want us to resolve this problem?"
Daisy simply replied, "As far as I know, this problem is more than resolved with the statement of the affected boy. As far as we are concerned, your students soon sought out mine and started fighting."
"Yes, and your students beat ours," Carmen claimed, making an essential point.
Daisy furrowed her brows and asked, "Do you want my students to be the only ones beaten? They only responded to the aggression your school's students proposed."
The director was sweating cold seeing how these two teachers seemed closer to blows, so intervening, he asked, "We're not looking for a culprit; what we want is a damn solution so we don't have parents on our backs for the entire month."
"How about a tournament?" Carmen looked at Daisy challengingly and pointed out, "We can solve this problem like a simple dispute fight between two Karate groups that have been in rivalry for a long time."
"Our student Jack placed second a few years ago in a major tournament. Now that you mention it, it makes sense," the director responded, very interested.
"Do you really want to solve this with a tournament between schools? I don't know how many students you have who know Karate, but we have some very competent ones, so it won't be fun if they lose overwhelmingly," Daisy said coldly, looking at Carmen with a smug smile.
The director choked on the coffee he was drinking, now more relaxed, knowing there was a solution to their future problems.
Carmen exploded and said, "You're as arrogant as the last time we saw each other. Have you even thought that's unpleasant?"
"And why do you think I keep behaving the same way? If you can't even maintain composure in a professional conversation, that speaks much worse of you."
"We could also apply to have a teacher fight," Carmen said, taking off her glasses.
"No tournament is necessary!" Daisy said, turning around, and chaos erupted in the teachers' lounge.
"Young ladies, stop!"
In a separate room, Dash looked at Jack, who was sitting in front of him, and asked, "So, will your dojo participate in the national karate club tournament?"
"We're working on it. Who wouldn't be interested in having a gold medal?" Kim seemed calmer and responded directly.
"Who would have thought that all this mess was due to a misunderstanding? Mental agility also needs to be trained," murmured Devon, still a bit upset.
Hawk, who was in the background, muttered, "Exactly, they should apologize."
Jack looked at Hawk and said, "You attacked me first. How is this supposed to be resolved just by talking?"
"Well, by talking..." Dash muttered these words but also looked at Hawk, who was like a soldier waiting to be sent into battle.
Eddie, who hadn't fought, asked, "So, what am I doing here if I didn't get involved in any trouble?"
