## Chapter Chronology

**"GORDON"** (ゴードン, *Gōdon*) is the 11th chapter of You Chiba's manga series, *Kindergarten WARS*.

## Summary

Rita, Doug, and Hana stumbled into Kindergarten Noir, battered and bruised, much to the dismay of Principal Erina. Erina had just volunteered to send the children home so they could seek treatment at the infirmary. Interestingly, both Doug and Rita, who had been at the Kindergarten a few days longer than Hana, hadn't visited the infirmary themselves. Rita's curiosity sparked, imagining that the school doctor who would attend to them might be an attractive rouge.

As the three approached the infirmary door, they were startled to see an enormous figure, possibly as big as a grizzly bear, brandishing an axe. Reacting instinctively, they sprinted away from the person who seemed to be the school doctor. Their escape was abruptly halted when the school doctor skillfully hurled his axe to block their path, leaving all three of them in a state of shock. He then told them that all the injured needed to rest and receive proper care. The doctor promptly whisked them away to patch up their wounds.

Once their wounds were treated, the doctor kindly offered them some candy, but they declined. Introducing himself as Gordon Z. Sky, the Vice Principal and school doctor of Kindergarten Noir, he revealed that he was a former soldier like Erina. However, despite his intimidating appearance, he emphasized that he was not a fan of fighting and believed in love and peace, which surprised them. Gordon then reminded them of their responsibility to take care of themselves as they were the only ones who could protect the children. This revelation made the trio realize that despite his intimidating look, Gordon was actually a genuinely kind person.

After conveying his message, Gordon approached Hana and informed her that he needed to remove a bullet from her body, dragging her towards the operating room.

After successfully removing the bullet, Gordon inquired about any other injuries Hana might have sustained. Initially, Hana replied with a simple "no," but then she admitted to feeling a strange pain since earlier, causing Gordon to panic, wondering if she had been shot elsewhere. Hana explained that her chest felt tight and painful, especially around a particular person. Even the mere thought of him felt like a stab in her chest, leaving Gordon dumbfounded by her revelation. Hana's inquiry about her condition brought tears to her eyes as she anxiously asked Gordon if she was sick and if it was serious. Gordon hesitated for a moment before he could respond.

Just as Gordon was about to answer, an unexpected individual barged into the infirmary and fired shots at both Gordon and Hana, leaving them shocked. Rita and Doug rushed into the room, with Doug seeming to recognize the assailant as he mentions that the guy who just barged in is from Chrysanthemum Class. The newcomer boldly proclaimed that the tightness Hana felt in her chest was nothing more than a common cold.
