DY GRIMONY's POV
"Can you just pass my paper? Thanks."
"You don't have hands now, is that it?"
"For your information, I'll go to the restroom. Since you're the Class President I leave my paper to you."
"Seriously? You're going to be there for an hour?"
"Better to prepare early—"
"Tch."
"You know what? Forget it! Give me back my 'thanks'!"
"You can have that 'thanks' of yours! I don't need it!"
"Hope you get karma! Troublesome!"
In the end, I just left my answers in the hands of Senon. He's the secretary.
I excused myself to him before I head out 'cause he's in charge of the attendance and keeping track of noisy students.
I was just going to the restroom. I didn't expect things to turn out the way they did. What do I mean by that?
"You're Dy Grimony?"
That line sound familiar to you?
"Uh... yeah? Why? What do you want?"
The girl eyed me from head to school shoes.
"So, you're the one, huh?" The girl had a snarky attitude, but her face looked angelic.
"Huh?"
"This is a warning. Don't you dare repeat your awful behavior toward Ish. Unless you want trouble and enemies here on campus."
"What're you talking about? Can you ask your friends to move? They're blocking the door, I can't get out."
Instead of moving, they just stood there with their arms crossed. I look at my shoes and started thinking. This is straight out of a soap opera!
"Hey! Witch, look at me!"
I looked up at the girl. "Witch?!" She really called me that? That's offensive! Me? A witch?!
She smirked and crossed her arms.
"Yup! You're a witch! You're the one who hurt Ish! How dare you to slap him? I'm warning you! If you hurt him again, you'll be up against me. Remember that!"
"Well… well… well… excuse you? A bit of advice—don't bother me or else… you'll be the one bothered," I said with a smirk.
She raised an eyebrow and smirked too. "Oh, really? In that case… be friends with fear."
She gave me a light push—so weak, I didn't even flinch. Then she used her exskill to scare me.
Glowing moving creatures came out of her body—projectiles that looked somewhat like birds and made chirping sounds. I was surrounded by them. The light was blinding, but I'm immune to that now. I am light.
"Know that if you do anything that displeases me… this school will become your Gehenna. I hope I won't have to see your ugly face often."
She left after all that drama. Her followers followed her.
Who even were they?
Do those fangirls really think I'll be intimidated? No way! If they try again, I swear they'll get what's coming to them.
I won't let anyone treat me like that. I don't see any reason to allow that. Honestly, I hate characters who let themselves be bullied.
I walked out of the restroom and returned to class. In my mind, if those idiots tries to bother me again then I'll give them chaos.
When I arrived in the classroom, it looked like they had already passed the papers.
Before going back to my seat, I thanked Senon. Now, I stared at the board, replaying the faces of those witches in my head.
I glanced over at Ish who was sitting at the front. He was reading something on his phone with a smile on his face. Must've read something funny?
It's already Friday and in just one week Ish already gained fangirls.
"Sis, you look like you're thinking deeply," Sol said, tapping me from behind. Where did he went earlier? I wanted to leave my paper with him but he's nowhere.
I shook my head. "It's nothing, bro."
"Really? It looks like you've got a big problem. If it's about that debt you owe me from last month, don't worry about it. I'm used to you not paying me ba—"
"It's really nothing, Sol."
He raised an eyebrow and left me alone. He went back to listening to his music.
"What happened in the restroom?" Azure asked. She was painting Maye's nails.
"Nothing."
"Okay." she shrugged and went back to her task.
"You're so good, Azure!"
"Of course! I am amazing, Maye, duh~"
Azure being nice to Maye? This is the first, I think?
I couldn't help but look for Seth. He's part of our circle, it's only natural. I spotted him chatting with some of our classmates. They were just chilling since the teacher wasn't around. Even yesterday the teacher wasn't here. Where is that teacher? We were just assigned to write essays.
Yesterday's essay was about exskills. Today's essay is about our opinions on the super society.
ISH MOTRANGA's POV
I hate Dy. You all know that. But... I don't support bullying.
I know Dy's a bully... even if she doesn't realize it, but... even if she acts like a beast and we don't get along I don't want her to suffer because of those so-called harmful simps. Before things escalated, I took action. I followed the bullies when they left.
"Teacher Askad Tala?"
"I heard your conversation, and I didn't like it."
"Huh?"
"Wait—don't get me wrong. I'm not being a creep here. It's just that the hallway is so quiet that your voices echoed. I happened to be passing by and heard everything. All I can say is... I'm not happy."
"S-sir?"
"Your names?"
"Sir, let me expla—"
"Give me your names."
"K-Kira... Kira Novembre, sir!"
"Listen, Ms. Novembre. I'm not pleased with what you did. I heard Ish's name in your conversation and I have a hunch he's the reason for this conflict. I don't want you to be the reason there's tension between my two students. Ish is the Class President and Dy is the Vice President. I want them to get along in order to fulfill their roles properly. So, please? Set aside your jealousy. Leave. Her. A. Lone."
"But... it's just..."
"If you repeat what you did, it'll reach the TIC, and I'll do everything to make sure you're punished! Bullying is not part of this Academy's ethics. I know you know that. But if you don't? Visit the library sometime. Read books instead of bothering people. Got it?"
"Y-yes..."
"Great."
"I'm sorry, Sir..."
"You shouldn't be apologizing to me, but to the girl you picked on."
I know what I did was deceptive, and if Teacher Askad Tala finds out I imitated him... I'm screwed! On top of that, I used his image to scold those students. If I get caught, I might end up in trouble.
I took a gamble for that girl. Unlike her, I feel guilt. I don't want her getting bullied just because of me.
I didn't expect to get fangirls. I didn't even know people like that existed in real life. Sure, I've read about them in books and seen them on TV, but those types of fans? They're so toxic. They'll do anything for their own interests.
Yes, I'm happy that there are people who admire me, but I'm also uneasy because... they're willing to hurt others just for me? I don't even know them, yet they'd go that far? Forgetting themselves for someone else isn't right!
So for now... I'll keep an eye on Dy to make sure no one bullies her—except... me. Of course.
