Chapter 187 – [Bonus ] Intimidation And Provocation Gone Wrong
Feb 20, 2017, Academic Contest, 3rd Floor Literary Auditorium, Seventh District University
The rivalry of the students in the night class section and regular students became more evident the moment Sofia and her classmates entered the venue of the contest.
The coldness of the air conditioning in the auditorium could not even compare to the cold glares that the regular student was sent to them. Few of the regular students boldly expressed their opinions… while others were reprimanding them.
"Why are they here? I don't really like to be in the same room with poor students. Such a disgrace!"
"Tsk! I did not know that the night class section is so ambitious to join our contest?"
"Guys, don't be like that. They are students in this school too."
"Why are you defending them? They are nothing like us!"
"Don't quarrel over garbage. They are not worthy."
While the regular students kept on talking to one another, the subject of their discussion did not even pay a glance to them.
Sofia secretly admired her classmates for turning deaf and completely ignoring the provocations from the other students. Most of them decided to were earphones while the rest looked completely uninterested to indulge in any verbal activities.
There were eight students in the night class section who managed to be present in the place. This attendance was already impressive considering that their section was never bothered with school activities before. Half of the attendees were representatives of the contests. They sat silently in the front area, near the faculty members' seats.
Even before the contests began, the regular students had been complaining about how the night class section does not deserve to compete against them. Halfway through the contest, the complaints began to grow and the comments became nastier. By the time the contests were finished, those who were complaining became frustrated and irritated by the lack of interest from the opposite party.
"Woah, their face is so thick that it won't even budge after all the things that we say to them."
"Naturally, the night class students are really thick-skinned. Only they request to have a night schedule so that they can work in the day… really ambitious!"
"Let's find a chance to catch them later!"
Because the words of provocations did not work against the night class students, the group of regular students devised a plan to intimidate their prey.
It happened that Kristelle and Sofia decided to use the restroom. They secretly slipped out of the auditorium and the group of regular students quickly find a good opportunity.
"How did your essay, Sofia? This kind of contest is not challenging at all!" Kristelle murmured while they walked together in the hallway. Sofia opened her mouth and was about to respond.
However, out of a sudden, Kristelle's body was pushed forward by a strong force behind her, making her completely lost her balance and tripped on the floor.
"What the f*ck!!!" Kristelle yelled and turned her head to see the group of students who pushed her. Her hand instinctively clenched on the side as she felt a sting in her knee.
"Psh! Don't block our way!" the leader of the group proudly stood in front of them. The girl placed her hand on her waist and looked domineering.
"Fellow student, it's not good to harm others. There is a CCTV camera here. We can report you to the guidance office," Sofia told the group while glancing at the camera. But then, her expression changed when she realized that there was no sensor light on the lens, which was an indication that the camera was turned off.
Sofia sighed quietly offered a hand to help her classmate but she was also shoved on the side, her body hitting the wall.
"Are you deaf? I said, don't block our way! What CCTV camera? It's not even working! Hihihi…" the leader of the group repeated after shoving Sofia. Her laughter resembled that of a villainous witch in some fictional drama.
"Hey!" Kristelle reacted and in a split second, she kicked the girl who pushed her. The girl was hit in the leg and she could sense that something snapped before her entire body dropped on the floor.
"AHHHH…" the hallway was quickly filled with a scream of the girl that Kristelle kicked. An agonizing scream but since no one was around, only the other regular students behind her could hear.
"What have you done?!" Her companions looked paled as they stepped back and retreated for a few steps. They could tell that it was something serious. They just planned to prank and scare the two nigh-class students. But now, their leader ended up sprawling on the floor.
"Since you like pushing, I'll let you push something every day," Kristelle coldly said. Then, she raised her knees and stomped the other leg of the girl using all her force. They could hear the bones cracked while her foot made in contact with the leg.
Sofia had no time to even say a word when her classmate attacked again. She could only gulp after realizing the meaning of Kristelle's last statement. She meant to broke the girl's legs and let her use a wheelchair for the rest of her life!
"WAHHHHHHH… That hurts! That hurts!" the girl continued to scream while her hand was trying to massage her legs.
Kristelle give the girl a cold smirk before she shifted her attention to the companions of the girl. "Do you know who I am? Oh, well… If someone asks you what happened here, tell them this is an accident. Otherwise, I find you and cut your tongues! You understand?!"
The girl's companion trembled and nodded their head. Tears started to roll in their eyes as they silently cried on the side.
"Huhuhu, my legs! It hurts! It's so painful!" the leader of the group started to sob.
Kristelle turned around and look at Sofia who was stupefied on the side.
Sofia had witnessed this kind of attack but only in online games and not in real life. Her gaming experience was not enough for her to prepare on seeing how Kristelle went on full rage in front of her.
"Are you okay?" Kristelle asked seeing Sofia's shocked expression. Her expression had turned friendly while examining Sofia's arms.
"I think so," Sofia said and blinked her eyes a couple of times.
"You think so? Didn't you gamers are more exposed to violence too? Why is it that you look so shocked? Hahaha," Kristelle giggled. The two of them started walking as if nothing had just happened.
"I've never seen an actual combat before," Sofia admitted.
"Still, you play games everyday and kill your opponents. Isn't it the same?" Kristelle wondered.
"Not the same," Sofia shook her head. Definitely not the same!
Behind them, Sofia could hear the group of girls started to call for help. She suddenly felt anxious and bothered by the leader of the group. If Kristelle was serious, then, her legs were really useless!
"We might get in trouble. Did you broke her legs?" Sofia mumbled worriedly. This was her first time getting involved directly in an assault. No matter what, in her eyes, it was a physical assault that would surely result in a major injury, right?
"I did! But, they have been provoking us inside the auditorium. If I don't give their leader a hard lesson, they won't learn. Besides, I'm not afraid of anyone in this school! If there is one that scares me here, it's actually you," Kristelle responded.
"Huh?" Sofia was taken aback. "I don't think I have that ability to be in actual combat," she quickly added.
"Hehe, I heard from double sigma that you are their boss. It was a talk on the town since yesterday. At first, I thought they meant a different Sofia. But, they said it was the famous gamer," Kristelle stated.
"Ohh… The fraternity… Don't misunderstand… I'm not the kind of boss that is in your mind. My friends planned to open a hostel in the intersection street and they will work as employees there," Sofia said.
"It doesn't matter what boss it is. That fraternity is most feared in this district. Back then, my parent's house was burned by them because my father offended Derek. The police would not even want to get involved and my father also claimed that it was an accident. So, yeah, if they considered you as a boss, then, you are someone to be feared above them," Kristelle responded.
"Sorry to hear that. But, I am just an ordinary citizen that is their employer. And I don't plan to do illegal things," Sofia muttered and the two finally reached the lady's comfort room.
On the other location within the campus vicinity, the school clinic was filled with students after the incident was known. Those companions of the girl were interrogated by the guidance counselor, yet, all of them claimed that it was just an accident.
"Do you see me as a fool? There is no such thing as an accident in the middle of the hallway!" the guidance counselor scolded. But no matter how she pressed any information from the students involved, all of them had the same answer. It was an accident.
As for their leader, she was too shocked to even speak. The girl just cried until she fell asleep.
"The students had been so bold day by day. First, the incident of that boy Martinez. And now, here is another incident. Call the head of the guards and tell him that I am requesting the footage of the CCTV on the 3rd floor," the guidance counselor instructed her assistant while glaring at the students that she was trying to interrogate.
