Chapter 3: Just three years in prison.
Kiana's long white hair was tied into two pigtails, and her azure eyes were like a pool of amber, clear and blue.
Her skin was delicate and smooth, as crystal clear as a freshly peeled egg. The school uniform outlined her beautiful figure, with a curvy figure, a slim waist, and round and slender white legs exposed.
She looks so aloof and otherworldly, but as soon as she opens her mouth she seems like a fool.
Of course, in the eyes of classmates, Kiana was like an outsider who had interfered, so naturally, they would not give her a good face.
"Who are you? You are not from our class, right? What does our class have to do with an outsider like you?"
"That's right, mind your own business!"
Kiana clenched her fists, her pretty brows furrowed tightly, and she was obviously angry.
Mei tugged at the corner of Kiana's clothes, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Forget it, Kiana... let's go to the rooftop to eat."
"Mei... don't worry about them, I believe you! Mei is so pretty, and her cooking is delicious, she's obviously a good person!"
After saying that, Mei walked out of the classroom dejectedly with her lunch box, while Kiana kept comforting her.
Although the words of comfort were crude and a bit childish.
But this is the Kiana in Akito's memory, lively and cheerful, who would consider the people around her, although none of her words of comfort hit the mark.
But it has nothing to do with him.
He doesn't plan to have too much contact with the Big Three. Even if the Honkai comes, Akito can still protect himself and save the world.
Let's leave such noble things to the heroes; Akito just wants to go home early.
After Kiana and Mei left, the topic in the class never changed, it was always about praising one and criticizing the other.
Akito could also guess it. After all, Raiden Mei's halo was too dazzling, which made the current counterattack more fierce.
The boys were fine, but the girls were belittling Mei Raiden in a roundabout way. There were also girls who didn't want to participate, but they usually didn't speak up, so only those jealous and distorted voices were left.
When people are in a group, their IQ drops seriously. In order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to abandon right and wrong and use their IQ to exchange for a sense of belonging that makes them feel safe.
Akito thought he could stay out of it by ignoring it, but someone still walked up to him curiously and asked, "By the way, class monitor, what do you think of classmate Raiden Mei? Do you also think she is not a good person? Raiden Ryoma is suspected of financial fraud, who knows how many families will be harmed! But his daughter can still stay in school with peace of mind, isn't it ridiculous?"
Akito didn't want to answer. He didn't want to have too much interaction with the big three, but that didn't mean he hated them.
These words sounded unpleasant to Akito's ears.
Akito glanced towards the front door with his peripheral vision, and after making sure that Mei had left, he turned around and put on the ruthless attitude of a class monitor.
"There are two major truths in life. One is what does it have to do with me, and the other is what does it have to do with you. Do you understand?" Akito replied indifferently.
In fact, Akito wanted to say it was none of your business or mine, but after weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he felt it was indecent.
This answer obviously surprised the girl. She smiled awkwardly and said, "The class monitor really favors Raiden-san. Just because she's pretty?"
Akito had just taken two bites of rice when he was forced to look up again. "What does it have to do with you? Instead of gossiping about others, you might as well take a nap. Either do something important, do something you like, or take a rest, instead of agreeing with others to do things that lower your own value."
"I, I didn't... I just..." The girl tried to make an excuse.
Akito continued to eat and stopped looking at her: "Don't talk about it. What does it have to do with me?"
Akito's sudden indifference left his classmates confused.
In their impression, Akito has always been the kind of class monitor who is helpful and friendly.
No matter what kind of embarrassing topic it is, it can be handled smoothly, but today's Akito... didn't give any face at all.
In fact, every time after returning, Akito would have such a period of indifference. He needed to be alone for a long time before he could extricate himself from the previous memories.
"What's wrong with you!" The girl turned and left, returned to her seat, buried her head, and sobbed quietly.
Although it was a low voice, it could definitely be heard by everyone in the class, as if it was deliberate.
As expected, classmates came to her side to comfort her, and a few girls who had a good relationship with her whispered something in her ear with a fierce look in their eyes.
Akito disagreed. He felt so tired. Why did people have to fight so much with each other?
'I'm so tired, really tired. If only Bronya was still by my side...'
'Just holding her soft body, I feel a hundred times stronger!'
Finally, after a chaotic day, the end of the school day came and the classmates left one after another. Akito also left on time. As the first person to rush out of the class, Akito was full of energy.
'Today is also a meaningless day. I slept all day. What should I do when I go home at night? I'll go work part-time to earn some money. I have a lot of skills, but I'm trapped by money.'
Akito touched his meager wallet and smiled bitterly: "After traveling for so long, I am probably the only one who is still worried about living expenses. I really don't know whether I should laugh or cry."
"Huh? I think I left my schoolbag in the classroom... As expected, I still feel groggy after sleeping for a whole day. I'm almost leaving the school, so I have to run again."
The cool night is starry.
The neon lights of Chiba Academy were flickering, but there were not many students in the school. They had either returned to their dormitories or their homes.
The lights in all the classes of the second grade of high school were turned off and it was pitch dark.
Several figures sneaked into a classroom, took out their keys, tiptoed to open the classroom door, and swarmed in.
"Hurry up, hurry up, finish the job and leave as soon as possible. We are trying to slip away from the blind spot of the surveillance."
Several other people took out the tools of the crime - paint, wrenches, double-sided tape, ink, brushes, and some things that were disgusting enough to destroy a girl's chastity.
As they were doing it, one of them asked, "Isn't it a bit unethical for us to do this?"
"Morality? What morality are you talking about with the daughter of a criminal? She is the one who has to pay for the mistakes her father made! Today is just the beginning. I have many more plans in the future. I will definitely drive Mei Raiden out of school!"
"Yes, it's disgusting to study with such a person!"
After a brief whisper, they started to get busy again, and soon Raiden Mei's desk was covered with all kinds of disgusting words.
The vermilion paint looked like a horrific bloody wound, and all kinds of obscene words, such as "die" and "bitch" kept appearing. The more they wrote, the more excited they became, and the words they used became more and more vicious.
After a long time, the originally bright and clean tables and chairs became messy and disgusting.
Looking at their "masterpiece", those people proudly took out the most disgusting thing, something that could destroy Raiden Mei's dignity and purity. At that time, everyone would cast the most contemptuous and disgusting looks at Raiden Mei.
One of them hesitated for a moment because she knew how much harm this thing could do to a girl. "Do we really want to do this? Isn't it too much?"
The leader looked at her sternly and said condescendingly: "If you are afraid, leave. Don't say you are friends with us in the future!"
These words quickly hit the girl's soft spot. Being isolated in school is a very painful thing.
Most students would give up their precious things in exchange for the qualification to go along with the crowd.
"No, no, I... I will do it!" The girl took the disgusting thing with trembling hands and slowly stretched out her hand to do something that would make her regret for the rest of her life.
"…"
"Some things, once you take the first step, you can't turn back. Even so, do you still choose to do it?"
Several girls broke out in cold sweats and immediately turned around to look at the door in shock.
A thin figure leaned against the wall, his eyes were deep and cold, like a piece of extreme ice, piercing to the bone.
Akito stared at them intently, his face stern, solemn and heavy.
"Class monitor...it's so late, why don't you go home..."
"I just forgot to take something. I just got here not long ago."
"So, class monitor, ...how long have you been there?"
Akito sighed and said calmly: "Start from the first word you write that is unbearable to look at."
As soon as the words fell, the whole classroom became quiet. The air seemed to be stagnant, with only the faint sound of breathing echoing.
Deathly silence!
Akito didn't want to waste time with them, so he spoke first: "Chapter 72, Article 8 of Chiba Academy's school rules, anyone who slanders, insults, or defames others by vile means shall be expelled from school, the whole school shall be informed, and parents shall be notified to come and claim the child."
Akito thought for a moment and added, "Of course, the Criminal Law also has relevant regulations. Article 246 stipulates that the crimes of insult and defamation refer to the use of violence or other methods to publicly insult others or fabricate facts to defame others. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, control, or deprivation of political rights."
"Which one do you want?"
