(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!)

Things were going well, maybe a little too well; No one was breaking any rules, not even the new ones. Shizune had been tempted to add more and more rules to see whether she would meet some resistance at some point. As some kind of twisted social experiment, see what you could get people to follow. But she gave it up, thinking what they had was pretty good right now, so why risk it? The students following every rule wasn't a concern anymore, not with their new system; Miki always had someone to punish among the lowest scores on exams. This lottery idea had proven great, now there would always be someone at fault, someone to send to Miki... Unless of course all students scored perfectly. But it was unlikely to happen, and if it ever did, the benefit would drastically outweigh Miki's unhappiness. Shizune thought everyone was happy, and it was quite a surprise when Miki expressed her disappointment over the situation;

Miki: 'Man, I kinda wish people would start breaking rules again.'
Misha: 'Oh? Why would you want that?'
Miki: 'I don't know... I wish I could actually punish someone who deserves it. It's not the same if we make it up. If we just take some random student.'
Misha: 'Wahaha, Miki, we do not make it up, oh no! Underperforming students who refuse to commit themselves to improving their grades are as deserving as someone breaking the rules!'
Miki: 'I know that, it's just... I kinda developed a taste for being rightful, for once. Even if it's weird. I thought I was making people better... And yes, enjoying myself doing so, but I helped too, I think. Emi doesn't run in the hallways anymore, Hanako doesn't skip classes. It made a difference. I made a difference. Now... I don't feel like I'm doing much. Bad students are still bad students after I spank them. And I think you know that well, that's part of the reason why you made that "students won't be spanked twice in a week" rule thingy. You know the same names would always come back no matter what, right?'

Shizune knew, of course. The worst students would always be the same, regardless of any punishment they received. But she couldn't get herself to admit it to Miki, even if she knew as well.

Misha: 'Even if they stay in the worst half, they can improve! This is not pointless, Miki!'
Miki: 'Yeah. Maybe... Anyway, I gotta leave now, see you guys tomorrow?'
Misha: 'But you haven't spanked anyone today? We're almost done with the test results, shouldn't be much longer!'
Miki: 'Bah, I'll do it tomorrow. Don't feel like chasing after them today. Later.'

Shizune tried to sign something quickly, but Miki was already jogging away. This is bad, she thought. Miki not being in the mood for spanking was not the main concern... But if they lost her for this, they would lose her for the work as well. I'll figure something out, she thought.

.....

The next day, fifteen minutes into the first class, it happened; Like a sign from heavens, the answer to Shizune's problem. Not only a new student - likely to ignore the rules - was to join their class, she was also late. On her first day. Shizune looked in Miki's direction, and she saw that Miki was thinking the same. More than that, she was restless; She spent the whole class looking at the clock on the wall, drumming on the table with her fingers, tapping on the floor with her feet; She couldn't wait for this to be over, so she could deal with that new problem student.

Poor girl, thought Shizune; She knew Miki wouldn't hold anything back, after her last few half-assed spankings, dealt to students she didn't even consider all that guilty, and with good reason; After all, Miki was also among these low scoring students. But this one, she was late. Not only that, she also slept through half the class, and didn't pay much attention to the lesson even when she was awake. Shizune looked her up and down, trying to get a good idea what kind of girl she was; Her hair was dyed blue, a shade darker than her eyes. Her skin was extremely pale, and as much as she hated doing this, Shizune considered what condition she might have; Was it a skin condition? Or perhaps she didn't didn't go outside much. In Yamaku, those often came in pairs though. She was in blue from head to toe, her clothes being blue as well; Light for the shirt, darker for the skirt. Her favorite color, thought Shizune? Or just matching her clothes and hair to her eyes. She did have pretty eyes, though she didn't keep them open much. She was such a little thing too, and Shizune recalled Miki saying something about how she liked to spank tiny girls... Though she did mention she liked girls who had some fight in them as well, and this one seemed too lazy to be much of a fighter. Shizune took a mental note to check up her file, to make sure she didn't have anything that would make spankings a threat to her health or well-being.

When the lunch bell rang, the newcomer lazily grabbed her books and slowly walked out the door, where Miki was waiting for her;

Miki: 'Hold on, Smurfette!'
Blue-haired girl: 'Can I help you?'
Miki: 'Ehh... You probably can, yes! Follow me, I'll show you how.'
Blue-haired girl: 'I need to eat my lunch first. Got a pill to take. Who are you anyway?'
Miki: 'Your new best friend! We can have lunch together, then I'll show you something.'
Blue-haired girl: 'Suit yourself.'

And with this, they left for the cafeteria, but not before Shizune had Misha tell Miki to wait ten minutes before doing anything; They still had to know about her condition. Shizune went to the headmaster's office, to learn more about this new girl.

Headmaster: 'Yes, give me a second, I had her file somewhere... Ah, there is it. Suzu... Suzu Suzuki. Bad case of narcolepsy. Can fall asleep at any time. Often late to class, obviously. But she seems to be dealing with it quite well, at least she was at her previous school; Top of her class, second in the entire school. Recommendations from all her teachers. Seems like a brilliant girl. You sure you need to be on her case? She's not much of a problem student.'
Misha: 'We need to set an example, sir. You can't be late to class and expect no punishment.'
Headmaster: 'It's her condition though... Bah, fine. You're having great results so far, I'll let you do this one. But she's probably gonna be late a lot, I don't want this to be a permanent thing, you hear me? Just once, to pass the message, then find someone else. Got it?'
Misha: 'Got it, sir!'

They went back to the cafeteria, and once Shizune grabbed Miki's attention with a snap of her fingers, she showed her a thumbs up, which made Miki smile, as the student council duo walked away;

Miki: 'C'mon Smurfette, that lunch ain't gonna eat itself! Here, I'll help you.'

Miki took her juice box, and drank most of it before the girl even reacted; She seemed to have two different speeds on her; Sometimes she was fully aware what was happening, moving quickly, almost hyperactive... But sometimes she was like a zombie, moving slowly like she was about to fall asleep, talking slowly, not paying attention to anything. It was the same in class.

Suzu: 'Hey... That's my juice. Give it back. I need it to take my pill.'
Miki: 'I'm sorry, think it's empty now. You can get water, over here. Come on girl, eat faster, we don't have all day!'
Suzu: 'What do you even have to show me anyway?'
Miki: 'That's a surprise! Don't worry, you'll like it. What's your name, by the way? I'm Miki. Nice to meet you!'

She hesitated a while, then a half-smile appeared on her face;

Suzu: 'Smurfette. Nice to meet you too.'
Miki: 'Fine, whatever.'

The girl took a forkful of her food, and stared at it for a minute before bringing it to her mouth, while Miki waited impatiently;

Miki: 'This is taking way too long... Let's speed it up. You don't need that much food anyway, small as you are.'

Miki took the rest of her food and ate it quickly, expecting to hear a protest, but nothing came.

Miki: 'Good to go, now?'
Suzu: 'Sure. Where are we going?'
Miki: 'The student council room! Most important place in the school, you'll see!'

Miki stood up and watched the girl slowly getting up as well, wondering whether she would have to carry her, to get there faster... They didn't have much time left, and it'd be quite silly to spank her as punishment for arriving late to class if they also arrived late to their very next class. But they made it, after a few minutes, and Miki closed the door behind them.

Suzu: 'Wow. Beautiful place. So, what did you want to show me in here exactly?'
Miki: 'I wanted to show the cost of disobeying the rules in Yamaku.'
Suzu: 'Say again?'
Miki: 'I'm Yamaku's disciplinary officer, in charge of punishing students who refuse to follow the rules.'
Suzu: 'Oh. Yeah, I heard about you.'
Miki: 'You heard about me and broke the rules anyway? I think it's gonna be double the-'
Suzu: 'Shizune's mad dog. I think that's what they called you.'

Miki wasn't used to people interrupting her; Her reputation was intimidating enough that most people were scared to even talk to her, worried she might think this an attempt to pick up a fight. With Miki too shocked to reply anything, she kept going;

Suzu: 'That's one way they put it, anyway. Heard other names for you.'
Miki: 'Yeah? Like what?'
Suzu: '"The bully turned vigilante". This one had a nice ring to it. "Cunt on a leash", not nearly as nice.'

Miki was furious, and could barely stop herself yelling; She grabbed her by the shoulder and got close to her;

Miki: 'Who the hell said that? I want their names, NOW!'
Suzu: 'How could I know, me being a new student and all? I'll ask if I see them again. Were they right?'
Miki: 'No one's holding me on a leash, I'm-'
Suzu: 'I was talking about you being a cunt.'

Miki couldn't believe her ears; That she would dare talk to her face like that, in the same ways other were probably doing behind her back... It didn't even sound like she was insulting her either; Her tone was drab, emotionless. Like she was just stating facts, or talking about the weather. Miki tightened her grip on her shoulder and moved even closer, but it didn't provoke any reaction either; Why isn't she scared of me, thought Miki... I could break her in half. Miki had always wished for the students to stand up to her, or at least put up a bit more resistance against her, but now that someone was doing it, she didn't know how to react. Parts of her found that funny that such a tiny girl could act like that with her, without any fear. Miki found this amusing, and she had to stop herself from smiling. She was fumbling, trying to come up with something to say, something to do.

Miki: 'I'm not... I don't... Whatever! I'm not the one at fault here, and your punishment just doubled for that.'
Suzu: 'So that's quadruple now? I'm in for a treat. What am I punished for exactly?'
Miki: 'For huh... Oh. Being late to class. And sleeping in class. There was some more but I forgot. So that's ten, plus five, but it's double so... Fifteen and then-'
Suzu: 'Quadruple. That's sixty. Math ain't your strong suit is it?'
Miki: 'Screw math! I'm gonna show you my strong suit.'

She dragged her to a table nearby, but the girl spoke again before she could begin;

Suzu: 'Do you even know why I was late? Why I was sleeping in class? Or to put it this way... Do you know what I have?'
Miki: 'A nice ass, is what you have. You better bare it now, because if you let me do it, won't be gentle.'
Suzu: 'As you wish. You'll probably find out what I have sooner or later, anyway.'

She dropped down her skirt, then bent over the table, waiting;

Miki: 'Panties too! Come on!'

She shrugged;

Suzu: 'I'm fine just like that. Do it yourself if you really want to look at my ass, I don't care.'

Miki slammed her fist on the table, right next to the girl's face... But it didn't even make her flinch; Miki moved her hand back, but just couldn't get herself to take the panties off; What is going on with me, she thought... Never had any problem baring the other girl's butts before.

Suzu: 'Guessing that's a no?'
Miki: 'Shut up!'

Miki saw a tiny smile appear on her lips, and knew that she was losing it; Twice her size, probably ten times as strong, about to spank her so hard that walking would be painful for a week... And yet, Miki felt like she was losing. So she did what she did best, in a last attempt to turn this situation around; She spanked her hard, over her panties. Miki wished she could take them off, but couldn't get herself to do it. She was kinda cute too, and Miki would've liked to see more of her, but something was stopping her, preventing her to take these damn panties off, and she wasn't sure what it was exactly; The fuck is happening to me, she asked herself... She spanked her again, to occupy not only her hand, but also her mind.

Suzu: 'Hmphh.'

She spanked once more, but didn't get a word out of her, let alone a scream;  She only kept her mouth shut, and Miki suspected she was biting her cheek to help with the pain, but that wasn't enough for Miki... After all this defiance, she wanted more; She needed more. And so she did it again, and again... Without ever getting what she really wanted; To have her beg for Miki to stop. To see her pleading eyes express what she wouldn't allow herself to say... But she wasn't getting any of it. Being denied this way should've angered her, or bored her... But she was getting more and more into it... Or into her? Thoughts like those kept passing in Miki's mind, and she did her best to chase them away, but without getting any reaction from the girl, without screams, attempts to fight back or escape, it was like Miki was playing by herself, and that's when her mind roamed free, in ways she didn't want it to; She spanked her hard again, hard enough that she felt pain in her hand... This one had to sting.

Miki: 'SAY SOME-'

She stopped herself mid sentence when she realized the girl was sleeping.

Miki: 'What the fuck. Wake up! I SAID WAKE UP!'

She slapped her, and again on the other cheek, but nothing seemed to have any impact; She might as well spank a slab of meat, for all it did. She tried again, and again, failing even at waking her up. This damned girl... what was her name again? She ought to ask Shizune at some point, unless she was to keep calling her Smurfette. She couldn't get her to scream, to fight back, she couldn't wake her up, she couldn't get what she needed, what she wanted out of this... she couldn't even get her damn name. Without even doing a thing against Miki, she was winning this battle; Miki felt powerless, weak... She slapped her ass again, without even putting any strength into it; What's the point? She's asleep. Or... is she?

Suddenly a thought crossed Miki's mind, and she gently pressed her fingers on the unconscious girl's neck; Taking her pulse. When she felt it, she relaxed, and then called herself stupid in her mind for even thinking about that; And for caring about it, as well. Miki stood there for a moment, waiting for a solution to appear, but none came; With everyone else, Miki felt in control, powerful, invincible; She knew she put the fear in everyone's heart, and when they fought back, it made her feel even stronger, because no one could withstand her. But with this girl, this damned Smurfette... She felt like a child; She didn't know what to do, she didn't know whether she could even do anything. Miki realized that this girl... Scared her. Oh, not physically, as a threat; She could probably not hurt her even if Miki didn't fight back. But Miki feared what she made her think. How she made her feel.

At this moment, the girl moved a little and opened one eye, seemingly confused about the situation; Miki considered pretending nothing happened, to resume the spankings... But part of her was afraid she would do something stupid if she stayed there a minute longer... And so she left; Walking backward at first, then turning around to get to the exit faster. She opened the door and turned around before leaving, a desperate attempt to keep her dignity;

Miki: 'This is NOT over. I'll see you again, and soon!'

She didn't wait for her reply, and ran to her room. She bumped into someone she didn't recognize on the way, but Miki wasn't even looking; Might have been a teacher for all she knew. She wanted to be away from these people, away from the students, away from the teachers, the headmaster, away from the student council, away from her duties... But most of all, away from her; Away from this damn girl who defeated her by... doing nothing. Away from this girl who made her feel things she hadn't felt in years, if ever. She had to take her off her mind. Tomorrow, she thought; I'll finish the job, then I'll forget this girl even exists.

She spent the rest of the day running, exercising, but not on the track, or in Yamaku's gym; She didn't want to see anyone else, and mostly she didn't want to be in a situation where she would have to spank anyone else... Anyone but her. She skipped supper, and went to bed early that night, turning the lights off before she slipped under her sheets.

Miki used to masturbate almost every night, before going to bed; Not only to satisfy her needs, but it also made her relax, to give into sleep right away; But this time, as soon as her hand moved between her legs, under her panties... That girl's face appeared in her mind, smiling, taunting her; "I'm not gonna run away from you", Miki read into her smile; "You're the one who ran.".

She took her hand off herself, panicked; "Why can't I take her off my mind", she thought... "This damn blue haired girl, this damn... Smurfette. I should've asked her name. Maybe that's why I keep thinking about her; I just need to know her name, that's all."

She allowed her hand to move back between her legs, and tried to think about anyone else she ever spanked, anyone else she ever felt desire for, but this girl always came back, no matter how hard she tried to chase her away; She was getting more and more into it, and eventually, she stopped caring about who she was getting herself off to; She came, thinking of her, with a smile on her lips;

"Tomorrow I'll know her name", she thought. "Tomorrow I'll finish what I started, and then I'll be free of her. Of these thoughts, of these feels, of myself. I can't wait to see her again... So this can all be over";
These were her last thoughts for the night, right before she fell asleep.
She slept peacefully this night, and her dreams were tinted blue.
