C82 I've Had Enough
The surrounding scenery finally stabilized after the rotation and shaking. Riko Hasegawa carefully opened the gap between her fingers of her hand that was covering her eyes. She could hear the hustle and bustle of human voices around her.
However, when she finally saw where this place was, her pupils suddenly contracted.
"This is not true."
Riko was standing on the first floor of the school that she was extremely familiar with, beside a large row of cabinets where the students put their shoes.
This was precisely a place that Riko would never want to come back to.
She could feel that her palms were starting to sweat. She was at a loss and was unable to move. Riko looked around blankly and tried her best to suppress that terrifying thought in her heart, but the result was very little.
Could it be that everything that happened in the forest of Alien World, those friendly people, and those happy things that happened were all fake?
"Are those my dreams?"
Riko muttered softly, and then as if she was hypnotizing herself, she denied her previous thoughts.
"No."
She followed the path in her memory and walked into the bathroom. She turned on the faucet in a daze. At that moment, a voice came from behind her.
"She's not in the mood."
The grey-haired girl subconsciously raised her head and saw the three figures standing behind her, as well as the malicious smiles on their faces. She immediately wanted to turn around and escape.
But before that, one of the three had already grabbed Riko's collar, and then she used all of her strength to roughly throw her onto the floor of the washroom.
"It hurts."
Riko moaned in pain and curled up her body.
None of them showed any pity. One of them took a step forward and lifted her leg to kick Riko in the abdomen. Under the impact, she hit the wall.
This kind of scene had happened many times.
More specifically, after they found out that Riko Hasegawa's father was sentenced to death because he killed someone with a kitchen knife on the road, and that her mother also committed suicide because of that, similar things happened.
Teachers would not care about such things. They were either too cowardly, or they thought that the conflict between these students was just child's play.
One of the three people had a twisted smile on her face as she slowly walked in front of the gray-haired girl, who was curled up in a corner and trembling slightly.
"So boring, you're completely out of your mind. Is it because your cat died? How tragic. Who was the one who was so cruel? "
Riko bit her lips and swallowed her tears.
She still remembered the cat from before. When Riko first saw it, it was placed in a paper box with electrical appliances on the side of the road and a small head poked out. Obviously, it was abandoned. It had soft and clean orange-colored fur, so it should have been born not long ago.
When Riko occasionally inadvertently raised her hand, the kitten would think that she was going to hit it and shrink into a ball in fear. Riko Hasegawa was now the same as that fragile cat. She used her arms and legs, which were relatively less likely to be injured, to set up a barrier for her in the corner. She did not say a word. ... She stared blankly at the assailants with her wide, deep, and despairing blue eyes.
The leader of the three immediately became unhappy.
She once again kicked Riko to the ground with force and then stepped forward with a dissatisfied expression and stepped on her head with force.
"Disgusting trash, you dare to look at me?"
"I'm sorry. Please stop."
"Trash is trash. You don't even apologize sincerely!"
Another person pulled Riko's gray hair and pulled her up from the ground. Then, he pushed her head hard and knocked her against the wall of the bathroom. This made a heavy muffled sound. Riko's exceptionally petite body, which was malnourished, fell weakly to the ground. She closed her eyes. It looked like she had already lost consciousness.
"Have you learned your lesson now? She seems to have fainted."
The three of them looked at each other and decided to leave as if nothing had happened.
According to what Riko had experienced before, she would lie unconscious in this place for an entire day. No one in the entire school would come to find her or give her any form of concern. It was only when it was almost time for her to go home in the afternoon did she wake up and silently carry her schoolbag back to her empty home. However, at this moment, the few laws in the illusion created by the power of the Fruit of the World Tree based on Riko's memories were silently modified.
"Wait a moment."
Riko Hasegawa stood up shakily from the ground. Her eyes were empty and her voice was hoarse and emotionless.
"What's wrong? Do you still want to fight? "
Riko did not use words to counter this insulting sentence. She just expressionlessly walked towards the direction of the three people who were about to turn around and walk out of the bathroom step by step.
The three people were stunned for a moment. They seemed to feel a kind of aura that they had never felt before from Riko Hasegawa, who had just stood up. If they had the slightest bit of magic talent or simply a magician, even if it was a magic apprentice who knew nothing about the secrets of elements. At this time, they must have fled in fear. The huge magic and elements that were compressed to the point that they seemed to freeze in the air surrounded Riko, who was slowly approaching. This huge power was enough to give a few ordinary people who knew nothing about magic a sense of danger.
But the three people in front of them did not believe in intuition. Or rather, they did not believe that the weak and bullied Riko Hasegawa from before had any ability to harm them. Therefore, they still stood where they were and laughed at her without restraint.
Riko used a silence spell to stop these sounds.
She slowly walked in front of the leader of the three and grabbed her collar to lift that person into the air. The huge pressure made her unable to move at all, causing her ears to start bleeding. She could only see Riko, who was looking up at her, talking slowly.
"I've had enough."
