Login with GoogleChapter 159: Hello, Mr. Devil
Bai Wei stood beside the girl.
He was also unsure of what state he was currently in.
Perhaps, he has possessed this young girl's body?
While the physical body remained deep in slumber, the consciousness and spirit soared to a distant alliance.
After five hundred years, seeing the scene of the alliance country again filled him with mixed emotions and a deep sense of contentment.
The scenery he saw now matched the imagined alliance country in his heart.
He noticed that there was also a countdown clock above his head.
[Countdown: 5 hours, 32 minutes, 12 seconds]
There were five and a half hours remaining.
He could take advantage of this time to explore the entire campus, but unfortunately, he couldn't stray too far from the girl. He could only move along with her perspective.
...
In the cafeteria, there were various meal sets to choose from.
Michelle casually ordered a mid-range meal set, for when it came to eating, she couldn't be too picky. She also had to choose a large serving, otherwise she wouldn't feel satisfied and her stomach would growl. Dragonborn had a strong physique, but it also required significant energy expenditure.
She had once tried to reduce her portion and eat less, but she ended up having severe low blood sugar and had to receive intcrowous drips for several days before recovering.
Having finished cooking the meal, she looked around and chose a spot in the corner to start eating.
You eat very deliciously.
Give me a little too.
The annoying voice came again, but she ignored it and continued eating with her head down.
A few fairy girls sitting nearby watched Michelle eat her meal and found it incredibly delicious. They discreetly glanced at her plate to verify which set meal it was, then hurriedly went to order one for themselves.
"What dish is this? I have never seen it before," Bai Wei wondered.
You actually eat coriander? Goodness gracious! You actually eat coriander!
Do you eat chicken feet too? Since when did people from the Allied Country become such omnivores? Are you from the Ming Country, aren't you?
"Ahh, how annoying! Stop making noise!" Michelle dropped her spoon and chopsticks, covering her head. "Be quiet, will you!"
She had just made a big movement and accidentally knocked over her drink, splashing it onto a passerby's clothes.
"Sorry!" she quickly apologized.
As she looked up, the expression behind the black-framed glasses became somewhat uneasy, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
The girl, with half of her skirt soaked, wore a red dress. Her hair had a dark red hue, and she had bright eye-shadow applied to the corners of her eyes. The corners of her eyes were artfully lifted.
A few other girls, dressed up and looking beautiful, followed behind her. They were all laughing maliciously, enjoying the misfortune.
"Isn't that Michelle? Why is she eating like a stray dog in this corner?"
"Yeah, didn't she have a pretty magical time going to the second floor VIP seats earlier?"
"Where is your good friend?"
Mocking laughter could be heard from the followers.
Michelle pretended not to hear and took out a handkerchief, cradling it in her hands. "Um, let me help you wipe it... Miss Alena."
She lowered her head and looked at the dark red dress and the partially wet black stockings of the woman with long hair.
"No need to trouble yourself," Alena said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Michelle's heart skipped a beat.
The next moment, the other person picked up the remaining beverage and poured it over her head. Her black hair was drenched in the drink, along with half of her collar.
"We're even now," she said.
The noisy sound suddenly faded away, and the people around became very quiet. Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene.
Very few people could tolerate such humiliation.
Michelle took off her glasses, wiped her hair and clothes with a handkerchief, without saying a word. She simply stood up and walked out of the cafeteria.
Alena dropped the cup, her gaze sweeping across the crowd around her. The onlookers continued to sit back down, pretending not to have seen anything, as if it never happened.
The attendants also started joking and laughing.
"The village dog is like this, without its owner, it loses its fangs and doesn't even dare to bark."
"The dog relied on human strength, oh the dog relied on human strength."
Alena gazed at Michelle's receding silhouette, a glimmer of disappointment flickered in her eyes.
...
Michelle pushed through the crowd and ran to the back of the school building. She turned on the faucet and began to wipe her hair.
She bit her lips, lowered her head, and the water flowed down her cheeks, dripping onto her clothes and the ground, drop by drop.
She took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes with force.
You should fight back.
The voice appeared again.
"Shut up!" Michelle covered his ears. "What are you exactly, and why are you bothering me?"
She exclaimed in frustration, "If it weren't for you constantly babbling in my ear, I..."
How could I be bullied?
The young man's voice calmly asked in reply.
But is it truly my fault that you were bullied?
Michelle froze in place. She lowered her head, clenched her teeth, and squatted by the edge of the pond, staring at her reflection in the water.
As clever as she was, of course she knew that the real issue didn't lie with this peculiar sound.
This is just a spark, while the fuse lies in the interpersonal relationship between her and Alena.
When she first started school, she became roommates with Alena. At that time, she was very shy, and it was Alena who took the initiative to start a conversation with her. The two became friends, and their friendship quickly grew stronger. Alena helped her with makeup, choosing clothes, and even corrected her accent. However, the problem arose afterwards. Alena had a strong desire for control, always telling her what was good and what was better, not allowing her to easily change the things she had decided on.
Over time, the friendship began to deteriorate, becoming exhausting. Especially when Michelle wanted to prioritize studying over socializing, it annoyed Alina even more.
After an unsuccessful argument, the friendship between the two eventually ruptured. Michelle submitted an application and transferred to a different dormitory.
In her dormitory, a foreign student later moved in, Princess Bai Ze from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, who attracted a lot of attention.
Michelle and Chao Lu are very good friends. Chao Lu is sincere and genuine, treating others with honesty. Michelle feels exceptionally relaxed when spending time with her.
Because of the presence of Chao Lu, Alena failed to find faults on multiple occasions.
But a month and a half ago, there were dramatic changes in the situation within the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. The kingdom became more closed off to the outside world. In response to this, Chao Lu decided to leave the Tulip Academy and return to her home country.
Michael lost her roommate and became alone. During these days, she was frequently picked on by Alena. Grappling with past friendship, favors, and guilt, despite being bullied, she didn't fight back, instead quietly finding a place to hide and wait for her emotions to recover.
Comparing being bullied, being bullied by past friends hurt her the most.
She kept these words in her heart and never spoke them out.
Bai Wei had no idea about these convoluted matters, he simply gave a straightforward reminder.
Encountering such a situation, one should not keep it inside. Otherwise, it would only fuel the other person's arrogance... At least fight back, is your fist just for decoration?
"I'm not that wild!" Michelle unconsciously responded to the voice, "I... I won't resort to violence against her."
Hahaha, gentleness doesn't mean weakness!
"You don't understand, okay? Even if I fight, I won't win!" Michelle gritted her teeth. "Alena is of bloodline descent, and she's an advanced bloodline! She's a mage with three dark night companions, and she's also an apprentice of Luthemira's one-handed swordsmanship. My abilities are simply not on the same level as hers... She has much more experience in actual combat. How can I, as someone in a non-combat field, compare to her?"
The young voice sounded very strange.
Non-combat field? Combat field? Now the classification of mages is quite clear... But what I don't understand is, what's so terrifying about a mere advanced bloodline? Their weaknesses are clearly defined.
"Talking without doing anything is easy! If you can do it, then go ahead!"
Are you serious about what you just said?
"Hmph!" Michelle snorted coldly, exchanging a few words with someone to vent her emotions. She felt a little better. "No matter who you are, don't talk to me anymore. It's absolutely dreadful."
Hahaha, that won't do. I'm actually very interested in many things about the alliance. You have to chit-chat with me more.
The young man laughed heartily. He was not one to quietly remain a mysterious figure. Since he had arrived, it was certain that he would be welcomed with an array of flowers, thunderous applause, and grandeur. Timidity was not befitting of him.
"You!" Michelle stomped her feet in frustration. She untied her braided hair and shook her head, letting her beautiful black hair cascade over her shoulders. "Don't you have the self-awareness not to cause trouble? If I talk to you, people will think I'm crazy. They'll surely be thinking, 'This child is so pitiful, she's actually befriending the air!'"
That won't happen, trust me... They will only laugh at you for being simple-minded,
Michelle clenched his fist, emphasizing once again that he must not speak nonsense.
Bai Wei simply smiled and remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
After Michelle had dried his hair and clothes, it was already the afternoon.
Only then did she realize, "Oh no, there's a practical exercise in the afternoon! Oh dear, I'm in trouble! I'm the worst at this..."
