The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! Chapter 232: Clarissa, is that true?

"H-hey, why... Why are you crying all of a sudden?" Alice asked.

Clarissa kept crying and Miss Stella walked around from behind and desk.

She squatted next to Clarissa and stretched out a handkerchief.

"Clarissa, is there sothing that’s happening that you can’t talk about?" Miss Stella asked. "It’s alright, you can talk to about it."

"But... But I don’t know." Clarissa said, raising her head and showing her teary face. "I don’t know why either. I just hated her the mont I saw her and... I was angry with anything she did. I got even more angry when she did more than and then Lance went missing, so I just wanted to confront her and..."

"What are you talking about, Clarissa?" Miss Stella asked. "Lance isn’t missing. He’s just staying at ho for personal reasons."

"Really?" Clarissa asked, looking shocked.

"Yes. In fact, I went to visit him during the lunch break to make sure it was nothing serious but I found him working out in his living room. He’s well and kicking so how could he be missing?" She asked and started cleaning Clarissa’s tears. "Though I don’t appreciate that he’s skipping school, I can’t exactly force him to co back if sothing is keeping him away. Hopefully, he’ll be back by Monday. Is that why you went so far as using your abilities in the hallway?"

Clarissa was shocked and she turned to Alice.

"But she said... She said she hit him and he could be in a hospital." Clarissa said and Miss Stella turned to Alice with a frown.

"Alice, is that true?" She asked, getting up to her feet. "Did you hit Lance?" Alice, darting her eyes aside, answered,

"Yeah, it’s true, but I don’t regret hitting him." She answered and though she said that, she couldn’t look Miss Stella in the eye. "He did that to Damian just because he wanted to prove he was strong, so I just hit him once. If he was weak, he’d end up in the hospital for sure." She glanced back at Clarissa. "I told her that if she didn’t find him in his house then she could check the hospitals around. I didn’t do anything other than hit him once, so I didn’t know where she was, but she insisted I did sothing to him, and that’s why she wasn’t able to contact him and why he wasn’t coming to school."

She brushed her hair behind her ear.

"She was so certain I did sothing and even when I tried to ignore her and avoid a fight, she still ca at ." She glanced up, her truthful eyes sparkling brightly. "And even then, all I did was defend myself. I did not fight back, Miss Stella."

Miss Stella understood what Alice was saying with that look in her eyes, that tone, and her intentions.

"Clarissa, is that true?" Miss Stella asked, looking softly at her student. "Why would you act like that?"

"I don’t know. I have this hatred in my heart, Miss Stella. And it makes want to strangle her to death." Clarissa said, her eyes bleeding with hatred and Alice whistled.

"Clarissa, where is this coming from?" Miss Stella asked. "Did you hit your head?"

"No, Miss Stella, I didn’t." Clarissa shook her head. "But even if I don’t understand why I’m feeling this way, I feel it’s justified."

"And how is that justified?"

"Miss Stella," Alice called out and Miss Stella turned to her. "Can I talk to Clarissa for a mont?"

"You can but I’ll stay here. I’m not going anywhere, not until we figure out what’s going on with her." Miss Stella said, turning round to her seat behind her desk. ’I don’t understand. It’s like she has been possessed or sothing.’

"Well, fine by . But don’t mind what I’m about to say." Alice said and turned to Clarissa who glared at her. "I don’t bla you for hating and trust , no matter what you do, I won’t hate you either. I won’t fight back and I’ll just defend. You couldn’t handle my attacks, to begin with, but... If you harm anyone close to with your hatred," Alice’s eyes turned serious as she declared, "I will cut you down to size. This isn’t a simple threat. I’m just... Stating what I’d do, is all."

Miss Stella shook her head, wondering where this was going to lead.

He looked up at Leo who was still silently resting on the wall with his eyes closed.

’Guess they can’t be apart from each other after all. He’s like a guardian kitty, how adorable.’

In a mont, she had forgotten the severity of the issue in front of her and was basking in the pretty things her eyes fell on.

"Do you think I’m that easy? I’m very strong." Clarissa said and Alice nodded.

"Yeah, you are. You’re very promising." She leaned closer and swiped Clarissa’s hair behind her ear. "I especially liked your look with the white hair. You’re so strong."

Clarissa wanted to slap her hand off but Alice already took her hand back before that happened.

"But that’s only going to work on monsters and people who are at the sa level as you." Alice said. "But to , your powers are no better than an ants attempt to bite. It might sting but that’s all it’ll do."

"Are you looking down on ?" Clarissa was getting angry again but Alice was just stating the truth.

"No, I’m telling the truth." Alice said. "And because I don’t hate you or find your attempts a threat, I’m being friendly. Trust , you do not want to be on the list of people I hate. You’d be better off dead if that happened."

Clarissa felt the hair at the back of her neck as well as all over her body stand at the sudden danger she felt. How was a simple word like that able to instill fear?

Was she being serious? She looked towards Miss Stella who wasn’t saying anything about it.

That was a threat, right? Miss Stella was supposed to want Alice, so why wasn’t she saying anything? It was almost like her words were apparent and even Miss Stella would not be able to do anything about it.

She gulped. Just who was Alice after all?

"Ah, one more thing," Alice added. "Do you believe in a previous life?"
