Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 8 The Darkness Deep Within Her Heart
While Akizuki Makoto was still stunned by the fact that his arm had passed through Hime Yuki's calf, Hime Yuki had already made a further move.

She watched as Akizuki Makoto's hand passed through her calf, her smile growing wider, brimming with a wicked sense of amusement.

"Akizuki-kun, let me show you what low-class, perverse taste really is."

As Ji Yexue thought this to herself, she lifted the leg that was pressing down on Qiu Yuecheng's lower abdomen.

With a gentle flick, her dark brown round-toed leather shoes slipped off her small feet, which were covered in black stockings, and fell to the side.

"What are they trying to do...?"

Akizuki looked at this scene with suspicion, not understanding what Ji Yexue was up to.

Did they suddenly have a change of heart and think that stepping on him with their shoes was too dirty?

But that's not reasonable either.

In her ghost form, she appeared to be spotless, evidenced by the fact that when she removed her feet from her abdomen, no shoe prints were left on her white shirt.

Besides, she's already trampled him underfoot, so why would she care about dirt?

Just as Qiu Yuecheng was pondering Ji Yexue's intention in taking off her little leather shoes, that small foot wrapped in black stockings moved up his abdomen, skimming across his chest and neck like a dragonfly skimming the water, and finally...

They stepped directly on his face!
"Um?!"

Akizuki Makoto felt his vision being blocked and a real weight on his face, and he didn't react for a moment.

It wasn't until those warm, slightly frosted little feet gently rubbed against his face that he realized he had been stepped on!
Qiu Yuecheng immediately lost his composure. He hadn't expected Ji Yexue to have a sadistic streak, even resorting to playing the "stepping on the face" game.

That's enough!

He suppressed the urge to reveal Ji Yexue's identity, shouted out loud, shook his head vigorously, shook off the small black-stockinged foot that was stepping on his face, and struggled to stand up from the ground.

If Ji Yexue's abilities weren't just limited to invisibility, and he wasn't afraid that revealing her identity would enrage her and lead to her silencing him, he would have already come clean.

Ji Yexue looked at Qiu Yuecheng, who had stood up and was staring at her angrily, without saying a word, but the smile on her face said it all.

Enough is enough?

Where is this?

She still had a long time ahead of her, and there were many things she wanted to do but hadn't done yet.

Akizuki Makoto knew that Ji Yexue would not give up so easily, so after standing up, he immediately ran to the side.

As long as he opens the door to the sports equipment room and runs outside, that will be his victory.

Ji Yexue couldn't possibly attack him in front of everyone, could she?
Even though she is invisible and unselectable, the impact still needs to be considered.

"Ha ha……"

Ji Yexue watched Qiu Yuecheng run towards the equipment room door without stopping him, only letting out a soft laugh.

At that moment, she only felt that Akizuki Makoto was really adorably naive.

She had already locked the door from the outside when she closed it, so it was absolutely impossible to open from the inside.

As for how she got in...

That is another characteristic of hers: she ignores units of volume.

In other words, she really is like a ghost, not only can she become invisible and unselectable, but she can also pass through any object, whether it is a building, a vehicle or a person.

Soon, Akizuki Makoto ran to the door and tried to turn the doorknob, but to his despair, he found that no matter how hard he tried, the doorknob wouldn't budge!

But the despair doesn't end there.

When he turned his head to look behind him, Ji Yexue was already walking towards him with a smile on her face.

She even made a little noise as she walked away, as if afraid he wouldn't know she was approaching.

She picked up the basketball from the basket and dribbled it as she walked towards Akizuki Makoto.

If it weren't for Akizuki Makoto's own buff that allowed him to see her, this scene would have scared people half to death.

Even though he could see clearly, he was still terrified because he didn't know what Ji Yexue would do to him or when she would let him go.

He could only lean against the door, watching helplessly as Ji Yexue approached, powerless to do anything about it.

After walking up to Qiu Yuecheng, Ji Yexue reached out and grabbed his tie, half-forcibly dragging him back into the depths of the sports equipment area.

At this point, Akizuki Makoto had already given up resisting to some extent. After all, facing Hime Yuki was like facing Shiina Maki's time stop; he had no ability to resist.

"Damn system, when will you give me such a freakish ability? What's the point of just increasing my resistances?"

Akizuki Makoto was internally ranting. Based on the fact that each time he experienced a superpower attack, his corresponding ability resistance increased by 5% and all attributes by 1%, he probably would have already fallen into evil and become their Star Wrath before he even had the ability to resist!

Deep inside the equipment room, Ji Yexue pulled out a soft anti-fall mat and threw it on the ground, then stomped on it. She didn't say anything, but it was as if she said everything—at least Qiuyue Cheng had gotten her message.

It's nothing more than letting him lie down.

But how could he possibly be lying down? That's so strange!
Why would Ji Yexue pull out a safety mat and throw it on the ground for him to lie down? It's like a classic scene from an unserious comic.

In the sweltering summer heat, a lone man and woman are trapped in the sports equipment room, when suddenly a fall-prevention mat appears in the center of the room...

"Want to leave? Then come to our teacher training program!"

Akizuki Makoto immediately had a picture in his mind.

He would never do something like that in this day and age!

"Clap clap clap!"

While Akizuki Makoto was caught in a dilemma, Ji Yexue had grown impatient. She stomped on the mat and made a sound, urging Akizuki Makoto to hurry up.

But Akizuki Makoto remained unmoved, and even took two steps back to show his resistance.

Seeing this, Ji Yexue was extremely displeased and impatient. She took a few steps forward, grabbed Qiu Yuecheng by the collar, and slammed him hard onto the mat!
To prevent Akizuki Makoto from moving around, she straddled his waist and abdomen, using her own weight and strength to immobilize him!

"W-What are you going to do!?"

As expected, Akizuki Makoto began to struggle violently, shouting and yelling, trying to make his voice carry so that people outside could hear him.

But the sports equipment room was so big that the sound was hard to carry out.

Even if he shouted until his throat was hoarse, probably no one would hear him.

At this moment, his only chance of being rescued is for someone to come to the sports equipment room and unlock and open the door from the outside.

"Heh, so you've finally met your match, Akizuki-kun..."

Ji Yexue looked down at Qiuyue Cheng, who was shouting and yelling beneath her, and an inexplicable excitement appeared on her face. A feeling that was hard to describe welled up in her heart.

This attack was not indiscriminate, but rather premeditated.

Even before today, she had been wanting to use her superpowers to attack Akizuki Makoto, but she hadn't found the opportunity yet.

And her reason for attacking Akizuki Makoto is something that probably no one would believe.

Ji Yexue – Jealous of Qiuyue Cheng.

She wasn't just jealous of certain aspects of Akizuki Makoto, but of everything about him—his looks, talent, personality, background…

In short, she was jealous of everything about Akizuki Makoto.

Of course, this wasn't just baseless jealousy; there were reasons behind it.

When Ji Yexue first met Qiuyue Cheng, she only thought he was more handsome than the others.

As time went on, she gradually discovered that Akizuki Makoto was also exceptionally intelligent and capable.

But that alone was not enough to catch her eye, because she also possessed unparalleled, superior talent.

What truly made her jealous was Akizuki Makoto's personality and temperament.

Akizuki Makoto possesses a strong and steadfast heart that she lacks, as well as a sunny, ambitious, and optimistic nature that she also lacks.

People around her certainly admire and love her, but this is due to her background and the strength she demonstrates in various aspects.

But even without these qualities, Makoto Akizuki could still conquer everyone with his great personality and extremely rich personal charm.

This is the source of Ji Yexue's jealousy.

She couldn't maintain her own excellence while also being so charming and sophisticated that everyone would submit to her great personality and charisma.

She also couldn't maintain her excellence and still show a gentle smile every day, facing each day with optimism and positivity.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of her superpowers, she might have been overwhelmed by the pressure she felt inside.

She is now at her limit; just a little more pressure will cause her taut nerves to snap completely.

People's assessment of Ji Yexue has always been wrong.

She is not an iceberg, a high-mountain flower, or someone whose cold beauty makes her unapproachable.

The reason she creates this feeling is because she is doing her best every day by simply suppressing the unfathomable darkness in her heart.

She wasn't an expressionless, emotionless girl; she just felt that every day was dull and uninteresting, and there was nothing worth showing any other expression, whether it was anger, happiness, sadness, or shock.
