At this moment Pythagoras spotted a distraction in his classroom and stalked over. He saw the drawing on Muko's desk and snatched it from him, furiously. He stood menacingly over him for a couple of seconds without saying anything, then glared at him, thrust his arm out towards the door with index finger pointing, and shouted:
“Get out! You are not worthy to be in this class!”
Muko burned with indignation at the injustice but couldn't say anything. He was angry at Paidia and Gelio for landing him in it and causing him to be sent out. He didn't blame Amartia, though.
He did as he was ordered and exited the classroom, standing for a while near the door. He hadn't been there long before he heard voices round the corner. He wrestled with his conscience, which was telling him it was none of his business, but in the end his conscience lost and he tiptoed towards the corner. The voices were now louder but he still couldn't see anyone – he guessed they were round the next corner. He crept closer and peeked very cautiously past the end of the wall, immediately snatching himself back. He'd seen two teachers gesticulating vigorously, deep in earnest conversation.
