Chapter 57: 57 The Evil One Needs to Be Punished by the Evil One
When I went to school on Tuesday, I felt that the attention in the class was sharper.
What's going on?
"Do you feel like the girls in class are staring at me again?"
"A little."
During the break, Jinghua and I chatted casually in the corridor.
"Those people in the classroom aren't as hostile as before, but they're a bit more explicit." The girl tilted her head slightly, glancing down the hallway. "It's like they're gloating over someone else's misfortune."
As for that vague and somewhat piercing gaze, at least Jinghua and I can feel it now as we stand in the corridor.
To be honest, I'm getting a little impatient.
After the afternoon physical education class, when we returned to the classroom, this impatience reached a critical point.
It all started when I changed my clothes and sat back at my desk when I suddenly felt something was wrong.
The desk was clean and tidy, and the chair was fine, but there was something off about it. A faint odor emanated from the desk drawer.
I reached out my hand expressionlessly, and my fingertips touched something cold, slippery, and soft.
Hidden in my desk was a long-dead frog that had been gutted.
"Jiu Jing, what is this?!"
Kirihara's scream startled the already small number of students in the class, and everyone's curious eyes instantly focused on us, with some curious male classmates even coming over.
"Ouch! That's disgusting!"
"What is this?"
"It looks like the frogs used in biology classrooms."
"Which bastard pulled this prank—!" It was the first time I saw Kirihara Akaya so angry. "Did anyone of you see that?"
Unfortunately, everyone had just changed their clothes after physical education class. The boys looked at each other and could only shake their heads in confusion to indicate that they didn't know.
"Jiu Jing, are you okay?"
"Throw away the frog first. Do you want us to help you?"
As for the girls in the class, because they were afraid of this kind of thing, except for Jinghua who came to my desk, everyone else stayed away.
"It's okay, I can handle it myself."
I took out a tissue, wrapped the frog, then stood up and walked out of the classroom with Jinghua.
Not long after they walked away, Kirihara suddenly jumped over and said, "I'll go with you!"
"Damn it, who did this?"
"Kirihara-kun, do you know about the rumors about me in class recently?" When we went to throw away the trash together, he seemed really angry, so I interrupted him.
He paused for a moment, "...I know, but those are all fake." Then he realized, "Could it be the people who spread the rumors? Damn, that's Panasonic and the others. I heard from my friends that they were the ones who spread the bad things about you."
It looked like she did, but I don't think she had the guts. I checked with No. 385 last time, and none of the people who confronted her in the restroom that day were from our class.
At best, he should be just the thug of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"As for her, she locked Homura and I in the warehouse during gym class earlier."
"Huh?"
"ha?!"
Kyoka's words were like a bombshell, and Kirihara was really angry. I saw that his eyes seemed a little bloodshot.
"No, no, no, Kirihara-kun, calm down first."
"How can I calm down? It's not enough that those people slandered you, and now they're doing this again? Damn it, if they weren't girls, I would beat them up!"
"But that's probably all she did." Jinghua was completely unfazed and continued, "During physical education class today, Matsushita and her friends never left my sight. And we don't have frog dissection in biology class."
In other words, they had neither the time to commit the crime nor the opportunity to prepare it.
Perhaps it was because Kyoka's tone was so casual, but Kirihara calmed down. "Izumi-san, do you really like detective novels?"
"My current family works at a detective agency."
“Oh, that’s it—huh?!!”
I always feel that this kid is particularly excitable today.
But it’s better to talk it out. Xiao Jinghua and I are on the same side this time. We both want to find the person behind this by our own efforts.
After throwing away the dead frog, Kirihara scratched his head and said, "Um, could it be that Izumi, you are angry too?"
The girl, the smallest and least talkative of the three of us, nodded silently.
Should I say someone's beastly intuition is very accurate? After all, until she said just now that she had been monitoring those people, I didn't realize Jinghua was concerned about this matter.
The kelp-haired boy, who usually focused on playing tennis, frowned and used both hands to mess up his already messy hair. "Okay, so is there anything I can help you with?"
Of course.
He just had to do me a small favor, which was to notify the tennis club.
On the one hand, Vice President Sanada and Senior Yagyu are both members of the Discipline Committee, and they would definitely be furious if they knew about this. On the other hand, they did this because they couldn't stand my close relationship with the members of the tennis club, so of course I had to give them a stab.
Frankly speaking, this trick worked. A few days after the rumors were denied by the tennis club, I was blocked at the classroom door by several senior girls after school.
"You are Jiu Jingyan, right?"
"Yes, you are?"
There were three people on the other side, one of whom was a girl wearing heavy makeup. She seemed to be the famous troublemaker and bad girl in our school.
"Come with us."
After saying that, the other party grabbed me and walked upstairs without saying anything.
Took the bait.
"You've been so popular lately, you're only a sophomore in junior high school, but don't be so arrogant!"
Well, the setting sun, the empty classroom, and the menacing female senior. Wow, this really does echo the dramas I've watched before.
"It's fine if you're hooking up with someone from another school, but what kind of magic did you manage to get those regular players on the tennis team to do? You don't look that good, do you?"
"That's right, much uglier than Lisa, ugly girl!"
Lisa?
"Hey! You!" The heavily made-up girl suddenly got angry and turned her attention to the girl with the twintails following her. "What do you mean by saying that now? Are you trying to make fun of us?"
"Huh? I, I didn't mean anything else!"
What's going on, internal strife?
But, have I heard the name Lisa somewhere before?
Just then, another voice came from the door.
"What are you arguing about?"
A girl wearing a mask, long sleeves and chestnut hair walked into the classroom.
"Lisa-senpai!"
"You, why are you here?"
"Why am I here?" the girl lowered her voice, closing the classroom door and locking it. "The Discipline Committee just came through the school. Do you know that if you're exposed, I'll be implicated!"
"But, but this guy——"
“That’s enough!”
As soon as the girl got angry, the bad girl immediately let go of my hand. At this time, I noticed that the girl named Lisa, who was wearing a mask, seemed to have some rash-like marks on her body.
"Huh? Isn't the model here today Lisa-chan?"
"My agent said I ate something I was allergic to and it caused a rash. I can't film at all now."
………………No way?
"Are you the one who instigated them recently?"
The girl called Lisa looked at me and frowned. Even through the mask, I could tell she was quite cute. "You used such harsh words. You were the one who resorted to such cunning tactics first, weren't you?"
"Build a good relationship with the regular players in your class, then use them to get into the tennis club and approach the boys openly. Are we wrong?" The short-haired girl who had been hiding in the background was indignant. "Niou-kun is so nice to you! And you're still smiling with other boys."
The girl with twintails who was scolded earlier also stood up: "Kirhara-kun is so innocent, but he was deceived by a scheming girl like you!"
"ha?"
No, it's totally wrong!
How could I have lied to that guy whose mind was solely focused on tennis? I was the one who was dragged into the tennis club, okay?!
"So you let those girls from Panasonic bully me?"
The girl who looked bad laughed: "We have been unhappy with you for a long time, but we didn't say anything."
"I see. What about the frogs from a few days ago? Who released them?"
"Stop pretending!" I don't know what triggered this, but she grabbed me by the collar. "If it weren't for you, Lisa wouldn't have lost such a hard-earned modeling opportunity! She doesn't normally come into contact with allergens!" Her eyes turned red with anger, and she grinned. "Yeah, I was the one who released the frog. I was just teaching you a lesson. Did you have fun taking pictures with that Kise-kun?"
What the hell is she talking about? I had no idea there was a part-time model student at school before today, let alone that she was the one who didn't make it last weekend!
"Forget it, Reiko." The girl called Lisa waved her hand pretentiously. "Don't bother with people like that. She's just like her aunt who's an editor. They just use their looks to get close to men and treat them as stepping stones. I've seen a lot of people like that."
At that moment, the blood in my body turned cold.
"……What did you say?"
"What? Still playing innocent? Didn't your aunt also rely on men to get to the top of that editorial department?"
-------------------------------------
As soon as Risa Kirima finished speaking, the girl standing next to the podium grabbed the hand of the blonde delinquent girl.
In the next second, no one could see what happened. The girl, who was a full head taller than her and a well-known bad boy in the school, was thrown out violently.
"ah--!"
"Reiko-senpai?!"
Jiu Jingyan did not stop. She rushed to Kirima Risa in two steps with an expressionless face, grabbed her neck and lifted her up!
The other party's scream was stuck in his throat.
"Ri-Risa-senpai?!"
"What are you going to do!"
"What are you doing?" The red-haired girl tilted her head as she looked at the three panicked people in front of her. "To teach you a lesson."
"you--!"
"You bastard, let Lisa go!" The girl named Reiko obviously did not give up. She picked up the stool that fell beside her and rushed over.
Jiu Jingyan let go of her hand expressionlessly, pushed Kirima Risa to the side, and then faced the chair that was hitting his head head-on.
As if by magic, she dodged the first blow lightly, then stretched out her hand, easily blocked Reiko's fist, and then punched the other person in the stomach!
It only took a few seconds to do all this. Seeing Reiko fall to the ground with a cry of pain, she turned around, grabbed Kirima Risa, who was kneeling on the ground, by the hair, and forcibly pulled her up.
"Reiko-senpai!"
“Help…Help! Help!!”
Ignoring the panicked screams of the two girls next to him, Jiu Jingyan grabbed the woman who slandered his aunt and simply pulled off her mask.
It is indeed a beautiful face, but now it has some rashes, which is a bit of a flaw.
"First of all, I didn't even know you before we confronted each other today. Secondly, watch your mouth. If I hear you say something dirty again, don't blame me for not saying it today."
Her voice was usually soft and sounded very lively, but at this moment it was cold and emotionless.
"If you want to drag me to hell so badly, fine. But—"
Jiu Jingyan looked at the tearful face of the girl before him, and with his left hand he picked up a plastic ruler that had been placed on the podium. The ruler pressed squarely against Kirima Risa's soft neck, sinking into it.
"Before I go to hell, I will send all of you there to accompany me."
As she spoke, she curled up the corners of her mouth into a smile, and her red eyes were as cold as frozen blood.
"I think Lisa-senpai might not know this. The human body is very fragile sometimes."
"I'm...I'm sorry...I'm sorry."
No matter how much she gossips with others in private, incites others, or even has close personal relationships with bad girls, Risa Kirima is just a 15-year-old junior high school girl.
"I, we...will never dare to do that again..."
Jiu Jingyan's smile remained unchanged. She narrowed her eyes, leaned closer to the girl who was already crying her eyes out, and whispered softly in her ear, "Remember what you said today."
After saying that, she exerted force and threw the person aside.
"roll!"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Well, you don’t think that Homura is really just a softie, right?
Her nickname, Run Lin An, the Fighting King, wasn't fake; she used to be incredibly difficult to deal with. But after entering Seireitei, her attacks subsided because her colleagues generally didn't push her sore spots.
Of course, we still do not advocate using violence to fight violence in school. Although I think Li is sometimes a bit of a admirer of the strong (far-sighted)
Lisa was allergic because some people in her class couldn't stand her and teased her, but their small group had always been targeting Homura, and with the people teasing her, these people really began to suspect that Homura was the one who did these things.
Besides, he had no other reason for instigating others to mess with Homura in the beginning, he was simply unhappy with her popularity in the tennis club.
