Trying the Patience of a Saint

Trying the Patience of a Saint (, Ebisu no Kao mo Sando Made, Lit. "Until Ebisu's Face (is stroked) Three Times") is the 4th side case in Lost Judgment.
==Plot==
A teacher greets Yagami while he walk down the halls. Three students kick a ball to his head, and the teacher, Ebisu, emanates a fierce aura before calming down and telling the students to mind the rules. Amasawa calls Yagami to the MRC room to explain what happened. She states it will take long, and double-checks with Yagami if he has enough time. 
After he agrees, she states that Ebisu is a Japanese teacher whose real name is Katsuma Ara. Due to his positivity, he was nicknamed after the mythological figure . This is only his current behavior; he left his previous high school due to causing a violent incident and was known as a short-tempered teacher who had hospitalized several students nicknamed Katsuma the Ogre. He was formerly a professional masked wrestler who had played heel.
Amasawa fears that Ebisu is on the verge of losing his temper due to delinquent students playing pranks on him, and may lose his career if he causes another incident. She had previously warned the delinquents of Ebisu's past, but they did not believe her, and Ebisu would not corroborate the claim due to wanting to keep his past a secret.
In his wrestling days, Ebisu was known as "Masked Bishamon" and was unbeatable. He would frequently get his opponents' blood over him, and would break the rules by using metal objects. He fought outside the ring every day, too, and would continue beating his opponent even when the referee ordered him to stop if he was enraged, requiring several people to stop him. She asks him to stp the pranks even if for today while she finds evidence to prove to the delinquents that they are endangering themselves.
Yagami meets Ebisu in the faculty room and states Amasawa requested he guard him. Ebisu heads to his classroom, 2-3, and Yagami sees the delinquents from earlier, Ikeyama, Anno and Kibayashi, inside. Feeling they had set a prank, Yagami observes the area. He sees a chalkboard eraser trap in the door, and removes it. However, Ebisu slips on a banana peel when entering the classroom, as the eraser was a decoy trap. Ebisu is able to calm down and Yagami continues to observe from outside the classroom.
Ebisu is about to sit down when Yagami warns him to stop. He feels something is amiss, and observes the area. The delinquents had hidden a whoopee cushion under the chair's cushion, and a second cushion under a carpet under one of the chair's legs. After class, Ebisu states he does not want to control his students through fear, and had vowed to never let anger control him. Two of the delinquents arrive, and Ebisu tells Yagami he needs to use the restroom after class. Thinking they may have set a trap for Ebisu, he follows him.
When Ebisu reaches the restroom, Yagami notices all three delinquents are present, and asks to check the area before Ebisu uses the restroom. The students had set another chalkboard eraser trap, and used paper to put opposite-sex signs on the bathrooms. If Yagami is successful, he throws the paper at Ikeyama, who tosses it back and hits another teach, Fujita, who takes them to the Student Guidance Room.
Ebisu is done for the day, and informs Yagami he waters flowers before going home each day. He shows Yagami the flowers he planted in the courtyard, which he had named Taro, Hanako, Shigeru, and Gogh. Hearing the delinquents again, Yagami asks Ebisu to wait while he checks on them. He sees that the delinquents had urinated on the flowers. Yagami orders them to rinse the flowers before Ebisu arrives, but they state they hate how much Ebisu smiles and fight him. Though he is able to beat them even with their weapons, Ebisu sees the damage they have caused. No longer able to suppress his anger, Ebisu prepares to lash out at the delinquents, but Yagami gets in his way and fights a tough battle to stop him.
The delinquents see the threat they were trying to provoke, and Ebisu regains his senses, learning from Yagami that he had nearly lost himself. Amasawa arrives after having found proof, but sees that an incident had occurred. Yagami fills her in on the details, and the delinquents apologize. He forgives them, and expresses gratitude for their safety. Amasawa is glad she does not need to reveal Ebisu's past, and notes that the mythological Ebisu was known as a vicious deity before being regarded as a benevolent one, much like the teacher Ebisu.
===People===
===Details===
A request from Amasawa. Apparently a beloved teacher, Ebisu-sensei, is actually a former masked wrestler who loses control when he gets pissed off. Unfortunately, some mischievous students keep messing with him, taking advantage of his cheerful kindness, and Amasawa is worried that a tragedy might happen eventually...
Ebisu-sensei finally snapped and flew into a rage, but at least he earned the respect of his students once they saw his god-like strength.
