"Stop."
The group of four girls and three boys slowly turned to . The tall boy with red hair, who I assud was the leader, fixed his blue eyes, contrasting with his hair, on and frowned.
"What do you want? I hope you have no intention of playing the hero?"
The boy shifted his eyes from to my chest and looked at my na badge. Then he suddenly burst out laughing.
"You're second to last and you're going up against seven people? Do you really think I believe those stupid rumors, huh?"
The boy approached step by step, but I didn't take my eyes off him.
"Speak the fuck up! Are you frozen?!"
The redhead raised his fist and swung at , but it was so wasteful and aimless that I simply dodged it.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise and I let out a deep sigh.
Do you have any idea what hell I've been going through with Professor Calvin for a month? If you did, you would have pity on your face, not bewildernt.
Ignoring his surprise, I pointed my finger at the girl they were bullying.
"Ripped clothes and obvious bruises. From that alone, you can infer harassnt, direct damage to personal property, and non-duel injury within the academy... On top of that, you attacked when I did nothing to you."
I tried to talk him out of bullying without getting into a fight, but things didn't go the way I thought they would.
"So what?!"
The boy lunged at again with a nasty smile on his face. Just like before, it was a rather slow attack according to Professor Calvin, but this ti I didn't dodge his attack.
His fist landed directly on my face, and all my teeth chattered, but I managed to resist the attack only by taking two steps backward.
"You are weak! And you dare to threaten !"
The boy and his friends behind him kept smiling.
"Believe , you shouldn't do that."
He laughed again, thinking what I said was funny, and then he kicked .
Just like before, I didn't defend the kick and took it directly on myself, so the boy kept shouting nonsense and hitting .
I could see them laughing behind , saying I was stupid or sothing, but I didn't give a shit about them and when the redhead stopped hitting , his friends started joking around.
"He's just a loser, let him go, Leo."
One of the girls was even trying hard not to laugh.
While they were laughing, I slowly stood up and shook myself off.
"Huh? Can you still fucking stand up?"
The redhead approached sarcastically, but before he could attack again, I opened my watch and showed him the holographic screen.
"Recording... program?"
The boy suddenly stepped back in fear. As for , I spoke nonchalantly.
"Fights are not forbidden inside the Academy. Everyone knows that, but unprovoked fights are still forbidden. On top of that, it looks like you've been harassing, bullying, and doing all sorts of things. I just told you the exact sa thing and instead of denying , you attacked and backed up these accusations yourself."
I closed the recording program and opened my bank account, and the eighteen million wels in my account was laid bare. Everyone who had been mocking until just now froze in place.
"I think you can understand what would happen if I got a battery report and bribed a little bit. You don't seem to have much of a background, but believe , I have a pretty good backer. Do you think you can avoid expulsion? Even if what I say isn't true and nothing more than a bluff, can you risk it?"
I put my hand on his shoulder and placed my fingers specifically between his bones, using so of the mana in my body to strengthen my feet and arm.
"This is my first and last warning."
I put trendous pressure on his shoulder with my hand and the boy suddenly knelt down.
Who knows, he might be able to resist. But after what I showed him, I don't think he would do it even if he wanted to.
"Don't ever show your face to again."
I withdrew my hand and then looked at the group, all of them trembling with fear. Because if I gave the recordings to the academy, they too could be punished as stooges of the boy Leo.
"Get lost."
"Hiik!"
I used so more of my mana to create a strong gust of wind, and then they started to run away quickly because of the atmosphere.
They were so scared that they were all running in different directions.
I let out a deep sigh as I watched them from behind.
If I fought, I could sohow take the redhead hostage for underestimating and teach them all a lesson they would never forget, but then there is the possibility that a bigger fish will co after them. So having direct evidence in my possession to make sure they don't even think about taking revenge on is the best way to handle the situation.
After his friends had already abandoned him, Leo took one last look at and the girl he had bullied. For a mont his eyebrows furrowed in disgust, but after a stern look I gave him, he left like his friends.
After taking a deep breath, I turned around and looked at the blue-eyed girl who had already stood up. She looked back at , and then there was an awkward silence.
There are a lot of characters in the ga with blue eyes and black hair, but I can't rember anyone like her…
My eyes automatically shifted to the na badge and I confird my thoughts.
Just as I predicted, this girl is one of the extras in the ga... And not a powerful one, judging by her ranking.
"Thank you."
The girl bowed slightly in thanks. If her expression hadn't changed, I might have thought she really appreciated .
"You're welco."
She straightened her posture after receiving my response. Without another word, she turned around and tried to walk away. I sighed and shouted, not letting her walk away.
"I guess you don't care too much about the rumors about you?"
The girl stopped, raised her eyebrows, and turned to . She doesn't even realize how she looks...
I pointed my finger at her. With that, she looked down at herself and saw that her clothes were a ss.
"And it's freezing, aren't you cold?"
It's the night of September. It's impossible for her not to be cold in the middle of fall with no jacket and torn clothes.
I took off my jacket and threw it at her. She looked at it, then at , but I turned away before she could hand it to again.
"Building four, number eight hundred and seventeen. Give it back later."
Without waiting for her to say anything, I quickly left the area, taking one last look around once I was where no one could see .
The mont I stopped holding back, my breathing quickened, my lungs finally released the pressure and started to work quickly. My heart literally started to race.
Since I wasn't sure of their level when I first saw them, I consud a lot of my mana very quickly... And since my mana had increased a lot since the first day, I didn't expect to get so tired just from excessive mana consumption but… I was wrong again.
Well, the world wouldn't be like this if everyone turned from trash into diamonds in just one month of practice. I should be grateful even for my current situation...
I cald my racing heart and slowly inhaled fresh air into my lungs. Then I realized sothing else.
Because I ca out from the other side of the building, I'm staying in the opposite direction of the dormitories. The air is really freezing, and I don't have a jacket...
*******
When I finally entered my dorm room, I flopped down on my bed and took a deep breath.
In a single day, I had caught the spy, talked to Lucia, and saved a girl from bullying. As a result, I was deadly tired and wanted to sleep quickly...
I closed my eyes, not caring about the clothes I was wearing, but unfortunately, I was not allowed to sleep...
~beep
Sighing, I opened my watch and looked at the notification. Then a smile appeared on my face.
It looked a bit strange on the holographic screen because I had recorded the boy as 'Spy' but I didn't care too much about that.

Hahah... They truly have the sa mindset.
