Iron hand (a Miki story) chapter 3

(This is part of a multi-chapter story, if you haven't read the first one, go to https://pastebin.com/gtbQ1W11 or click my name 'MREN' on the top left, to continue where you're at in the story!)

Miki: 'Screw you!'

Shizune didn't think for a second that getting her to listen would be easy, and she didn't let Miki's reaction discourage her. She ignored her and signed to Misha.

Misha: 'We have a proposition to make, will you not listen at least?'
Miki: 'What kind of proposition? I told you, I'm not gonna apologize. Just expel me I don't care.'

Miki looked like she was about to bolt, and if she did, neither Shizune nor Misha could hope to catch her. They had to win her over, and fast.

Misha: 'We have an offer from the headmaster, a way for you to stay in Yamaku. Without apologizing! And you get something out of it too.'
Miki: 'Sounds fucking great, it's like I won the jackpot! Now what's the catch?'
Misha: 'You need to come with us, talk to the headmaster. He'll explain everything.'
Miki: '...Nah, pass. You explain, then I'll decide if I see him. But I'm telling you, I'm not apologizing to him any more than to... whatever his name is.'

Shizune was torn between giving her a bright picture of 'the deal', or being honest. She didn't want to deceive her, but she didn't want to lose her either. To Shizune, this deal was more than just helping Miki out; It was a way to get more work done in the student council, and to get the students to follow the rules, two things Shizune was fond of; Work, and order. She went for honesty with just a bit of truth-bending and embellishment here and there, and signed to Misha.

Misha: 'You will be allowed to join Yamaku's student council, as a worker and disciplinary officer. Your duty will...'
Miki: 'Are you fucking with me? Disciplinary officer? What am I doing exactly, I'm not watching over detention, that's boring as fuck.'
Misha: 'If you would let me finish? I was about to explain. Your duties will include manual labor inside and outside the school under our supervision, along with paperwork, when necessary. In exchange, the headmaster is willing to forget about your little... incidents, and let you stay in Yamaku, as long as you behave properly in the future.'
Miki: 'So I get to stay in your stupid school, join your council, do a lot of work for you? This better be the fucking catch, because if that's the main appeal, I'm out.'

She tried her best to stay defiant, but her voice was weaker than the usual, and she didn't look quite as confident, arrogant, despite her words. Shizune ignored her and kept going with her sales pitch.

Misha: 'The headmaster is also willing to experiment with new disciplinary techniques. And this where you come into play.'
Miki: 'Oh?'
Misha: 'As the disciplinary officer, you will be tasked to dispense corporal punishment to students who refuse to abide Yamaku's rules.'
Miki: 'Are you serious? You want me to beat the shit out of delinquents? Sign me in!'
Misha: 'It wouldn't be that harsh a beating... We were talking formal punishments here. Spankings, light canings. Paddling. That sort of thing. The headmaster seemed to like the idea, and it's probably gonna happen, whether or not you accept; Someone's gonna do it. Would you like it to be you?'
Miki: 'I dunno. Maybe.'

Miki was feigning indifference, but even Misha noticed her eyes shining, and a small smile on her lips.

Misha: 'Would you at least come with us to the headmaster, so we can discuss this more in an official setting?'
Miki: 'Sure, whatever. Got nothing better to do!'


...


They walked into the headmaster's office together; After all, everyone was involved in this, for better or for worse.

Headmaster: 'Miura. Hakamichi. Mikado. Please take a seat.'
Misha: 'Thank you, sir! Miki... I mean Miura is really interested in the offer!'
Miki: 'Woah! Hold on, bubble butt! Never said I was really interested. I wanted to hear what he had to say.'

The headmaster frowned and looked at Shizune upon hearing those words, then took a sheet from one of his drawers.

Headmaster: 'I'm sure they explained the rough idea of our proposition, correct?'
Miki: 'Something like that, yeah.'
Headmaster: 'I will be blunt. If you refuse our offer, clean your room, and vacate the school's premises, your expulsion is effective immediately. If you accept, on the other hand... You are now a member of the student council, from now until your last day in Yamaku, as the disciplinary officer. Your general duties will include manual labor in...'
Miki: 'Yup, already got that speech. Skip to the beatings.'
Headmaster: 'Let me be perfectly clear, Miss Miura. We are not talking "beatings" here. We are discussing the possibility of integrating corporal punishments to our disciplinary procedures, for our most recalcitrant students.'
Miki: 'Like me!'
Headmaster: 'No Miura, not like you. Not anymore, if you wish to stay in Yamaku. You will not represent the law only by your disciplinary actions, but also by example.'
Miki: 'Fine, whatever. Go on.'
Headmaster: 'So I wrote down a list of the main rules you will be in charge of enforcing in the school, the most common infractions to these rules, and the appropriate punishment in each case. As you can see, it starts as low as two hits with the paddle, and goes up to five hits with a cane, for more serious offenses.'
Miki: 'Do I really need to use paddles and shit? I'd rather use my hand.'
Headmaster: 'Some of the students might not like this, Miura.'

She grinned.

Miki: 'Oh man I assure you, none of them will like it.'

Shizune wanted to let them talk, trying not to get too involved in this, no more than she had to... But for the first time, seeing Miki's grin and after getting Misha's translation, she felt worried about this whole idea. Now that the headmaster was involved, it wasn't just on her, which made her a bit more at ease, but still... She had a bad feeling about all this. She could only hope it would work out fine in the end.

Headmaster: 'Very well. I will write a new list for you then, no tools, only your hand.'

He took five minutes to type a new list on his computer and print it while Miki, obviously bored, looked around his office, drummed on his desk with her fingers, rolled the old list in a ball and threw it on Shizune's forehead when the headmaster wasn't looking... Which did nothing to ease Shizune's newfound misgivings about all this. It was too late to turn back though; They would have to see it through.

Headmaster: 'Here, the new list. It starts with five hits, for minor offenses, and goes up to fifty.'
Misha: 'That many?'
Headmaster: 'Well, a hand doesn't hurt quite as much as a paddle or a cane, so I brought the numbers up.'

After translation, Shizune couldn't help but wonder whether the headmaster already forgot about Hozumi's face... Miki's hand could deal some serious damage. Then again, a slap on the ass isn't anything like a punch in the face, so it might not be as bad. Still, fifty...

Headmaster: 'Now, there will be more rules for you to follow; The first and most obvious one: You are not to put any student's health in danger. You will not use corporal punishments on anyone with a heart condition, low blood pressure, weak bones, anyone who suffered a concussion, and a list of other injuries or disabilities. Here, take a look at this folder.'

Miki gave it a once over; A list of all Yamaku's students, some of them crossed out with a big, red X.

Miki: 'So what happens with them?'
Headmaster: 'For them, nothing changes; They'll have detention, additional homework, that sort of thing. And expulsion of course, for the more serious offenses. For everyone else, you will follow the appropriate punishment guidelines and use your judgment, as well. If a student is bleeding, you will stop right away, even if the punishment isn't over. If a student commits repeated offenses, you are to use common sense to determine whether another punishment is appropriate, or would detention be better, in any given situation. You have to be reasonable.'
Miki: 'Oh don't worry, I'm the very model of judgment and common sense.'
Headmaster: 'You better be, Miura. You don't seem very serious about this, and this worries me... But I'm willing to give you a chance, and you better not make me regret it. Oh, and keep something in mind at all time; If this gets out and turn out badly, if you hurt a student, Yamaku will deny any responsibility. This will fall on you. And, perhaps, the rest of the student council. So take this seriously. I know that both your fathers, Mr. Miura and Mr. Hakamichi, are generous donators to Yamaku's foundation... But don't believe for a second that I will endanger the school's reputation for any amount of money. If you mess it up, this will be on your heads. So don't mess it up, you hear me?'
Miki: 'Crystal clear!'
Headmaster: 'Very well. Now, if you don't have anything more to add, this meeting is over. I wish you good success as our new disciplinary officer, Miura! Hakamichi, Mikado, could I speak with you in private now?'
Miki: 'Try not to talk behind my back now! Later guys!'

And with this, Miki left the office... Only to be bumped into by Emi, running in the hallways;

Miki: 'What the fuck, can't you fucking watch where you're going?'
Emi: 'Sorry Miki... I was in a hurry and...'
Miki: 'I don't fucking care. I should kick your ass for this, maybe...'

A small crowd was gathering around them now, expecting them to fight, all aware of Miki's reputation by now;

Headmaster: 'Miura, could you take this to the student council's office, please? We are trying to work here. Oh, everyone, Miss Miura is our new disciplinary officer. Think of her as an extension of my authority. If you follow the rules, you don't have anything to worry about. Now move along, get back in class!'

The students looked concerned not with what he said, but rather what he left unsaid; If you follow the rules, you don't have to worry... What if you don't follow them though? But they eventually left, leaving Miki alone with Emi. Shizune and Misha were with the headmaster, back in his office. Miki had almost lost it, but she came back to her senses and realized it was her first opportunity...

Emi: 'What's happening?'
Miki: 'You're coming with me, is what's happening.'
Emi: 'Why, because I ran in the hallways? Come on! Also, the headmaster's office just there, I don't have to follow you!'
Miki: 'The headmaster's busy. I'm in charge of discipline now, didn't you listen?'

Emi had no idea what was Miki supposed to do exactly, but she wasn't worried about Miki the disciplinary officer; She was worried about Miki, the person. The one who beat up Hozumi so bad, that he quit the track team, just to avoid her.

Emi: 'I don't want to follow you.'
Miki: 'Tough luck, you have to!'
Emi: 'We'll see!'

And with that, Emi tried to make a run for it, but Miki caught her by the arm, a split second before she was out of reach.

Miki: 'You run fast, little bunny, I'll give you that. But we're not on the track now. And you just doubled your punishment'
Emi: 'Let me go! Let me go right now!'
Miki: 'You're coming with me. You can walk normally, or I can drag you around, it's up to you. But you're coming anyway.'
Emi: 'Stop it, I'm not coming! Shizune! Headmaster!'

Misha appeared in the door frame, and Shizune a moment later, to see Miki half-dragging, half-carrying Emi away... But Emi's pleading eyes didn't help her, and they both turned their back on her and walked back into the office, closing the door behind them.

They arrived at the student council's office a few minutes later, the few students they met on the path all moving out of the way, despite their curiosity.
Once in front of the room, Miki pushed Emi inside, came in after her and closed the door behind.

Miki: 'So... I'm sure you're wondering what's gonna happen to you right?'

Emi, stubborn, looked away from her and stayed silent.

Miki: 'Well, as the disciplinary officer, the headmaster put me in charge of inflicting corporal punishment on misbehaving students. So, we can do this the easy way, and it'll be over quickly... Or you can fight back, try to run away, and I promise you, this is gonna hurt.'
Emi: 'Really funny. Can I go now?'

She made an attempt to walk to the door, but Miki moved in front of her;

Miki: 'You don't get it, do you?'

With this, Emi tried to rush past her, but Miki grabbed her at the waist, lifting her off the ground. Emi was furious, but with Miki's reputation, she didn't dare fight back, or even try that hard to free herself from her hold... What if she accidentally hit her? Miki would go ballistic... And with two important races coming up, Emi didn't want to end up like Hozumi. Even with two hands against one, Emi didn't believe in her chances against Miki. Once she stopped struggling, Miki sat down on a chair, still holding Emi, bringing her to sit on her lap, facing away from her. She then reached into her pocket to find the rules sheet.

Miki: 'So! Running in the hallways, that's five. But I doubled your punishment because you tried to run away, that makes it ten!'
Emi: 'Ten what? Can you even read, anyway?'

Miki smiled at this, and moved Emi around effortlessly, bringing her over her knees, facing down.

Miki: 'I'm adding five more for that.'
Emi: 'For what?'
Miki: 'Disrespecting Yamaku's student council members. I think it's in there somewhere. We're at fifteen now... Anything more to add?'

Emi kept silent this time, not wanting to add more to these fifteen...whatever it was.

Miki: 'Great! See, you're learning to behave already! Alright, here's the first one!'

She moved her right hand up high, and brought it down fast on Emi's right ass cheek, over her bloomers;

Emi: 'Owwww! What the hell Miki?'
Miki: 'One down, fourteen to go!'

This time she hit on her left cheek, and Emi, not paralyzed by the surprise anymore, tried to stand up... But Miki was much taller, bigger, and stronger; Even with just one arm, without even a hand, she was holding her down effortlessly.

Emi: 'You can't do that! There are rules against that!'
Miki: 'Actually, no, there are rules FOR that. Here, have a read while I'm doing my duty.'

She placed the rules sheet on the floor, right below Emi's face, then spanked her once more; And another. Emi, aware she wasn't strong enough to get out of this, tried to read the rules, see if Miki was making it all up... But it was difficult to concentrate while getting her ass beat up by Miki's hand. Five now. Six. Seven.

Emi: 'S... Stop. '

Her voice was shaking, and when she turned her face to look at her tormentor, Miki saw her eyes were welling up with tears.

Emi: 'Stop Miki, please... I won't run anymore. I promise!'
Miki: 'Oh Emi... You're on the track team, I know you'll never stop running!'
Emi: 'That's not what I - Owww!'

Eight. Nine. Ten.

Emi: 'That's ten now! Please stop, it hurts! I'm sorry about the disrespect... Won't do it again. Can we forget about these last five?'
Miki: 'Hmm, let me think... Naaah.'

Eleven. Twelve. Miki knew Emi well enough to know it had to hurt real bad; She was prideful, so for her to admit she was hurt, it had to be some serious pain;

Emi: 'Ok, stop now. I can't take it anymore. I promise I won't run in the hallways anymore, not ever!'

Thirteen. Fourteen. Miki held her hand up high for while, savoring the anticipation of one last, strong hit; Emi felt this one more than all others combined, and people most likely heard it from outside the room. Miki let her hand rest on Emi's ass for a moment, then released her; Emi, too tired or hurt to move, stayed on Miki for a minute, sobbing. The thought of throwing some insult at Miki crossed her mind, but she knew it would only add to her punishment, so she only turned toward her, an apologetic look on her face;

Emi: 'I'm sorry Miki... I won't do it again. You happy now?'
Miki: 'Emi, Emi, my poor Emi... You got it all wrong!'

She bent over, bringing her mouth close to Emi's left ear, and spoke in a low voice;

Miki: 'I want you to keep doing it. Dragging you in there again for round two, now THAT would make me happy!'

Emi stood up after that and looked at Miki like she was thinking "you freak!", not daring to say the words. She opened the door to the student council's room, rubbing her butt, when she saw that a dozen people were outside the room, looking at her; Miki's spankings had been directly on her bloomers, but they were quite short, and Emi's red ass was visible to anyone who'd look down there... Which was, all twelve of them. Emi rubbing her ass, apparently in pain, with a red ass, made it quite clear what happened in that room; Upon realizing that, Emi started sobbing again, and for a second, she considered running away... But only for a second. She looked behind her to see Miki, making sure she wasn't about to get spanked again for the thought crime of running in the hallways, then she walked outside, slowly, avoiding to look anyone in the eyes;

Miki came out a moment later, glowing, a large smile on her face.

Miki: 'Who's next?'

The crowd dispersed fast, everyone going in different direction, going back to class, or whatever business they had to do;


...


When the bell signaled the last class of the day had come to an end, Shizune and Misha walked to the student council's room, as usual, to find Miki standing in front of the door;

Miki: 'So, what are we doing tonight?'

Misha explained the tasks at hand; Carrying art supplies from the warehouse to the art room, cleaning computers in the teacher's office, taking the garbage out, things like that. They had never seen anyone work so hard, so fast; The work that usually required two, two an a half hour, was over under an hour. They already knew Miki was a hard worker, so it wasn't that big a shock... But the most surprising thing was that she didn't even complain once; In fact, she was smiling the whole time, and looked so happy, like she was walking on clouds.

Satisfied her idea was working so well, Shizune couldn't help but smile too, and Misha followed; Everyone was smiling. Little did they know about what they'd unleash this day;
