I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

"Um... what's this?"

"This person is injured! Where is the wounded? Shouldn't we take them to the infirmary?"

"Ah...but..."

"Let's go, let's go, we still have to come back to clean up later..."

"oh oh……"

Xi Wang carried one person on her back and led another bewildered person quickly toward the school's infirmary... The others, who were even more bewildered, exchanged glances, looked at the blood still remaining on the ground, and then hurriedly ran away and went home.

They felt that the current situation... seemed to be beyond their original expectations.

…………

However, just after everyone left, a person quietly and slowly walked out of the restroom on the other side.

She moved slowly into the corridor, her distinctly colored hair peeking out from the railing, followed by her forehead and her eyes.

Her gaze, however, was directed toward the infirmary.

There, Xi Wang smiled at the teacher on duty in the infirmary, helping to treat the injuries of the other two while enduring the teacher's helpless scolding. Occasionally, she would interject a few words, seemingly describing the whole story to the teacher.

"Amazing……"

She sighed.

I never expected Xi Wang to have this side to her... What a surprise.

she thought.

"I'm a little... envious."

"Vilvie..." she murmured.

Chapter 5 Velvie: Inspiration Triggered! (4881)

This incident has unsurprisingly caused you trouble... because the person you fell on is in the hospital.

[I don't know if it was because his head hit the ground, but anyway, the other person went to the hospital and stayed there for quite a while. And during that time, the other person's parents kept causing trouble, complaining to the school about the incident, and even occasionally coming to block you after school, shouting that they would definitely make you pay for it, since their child was hospitalized.]

They know your background; you're just a child without parents or connections. So what if you're a church child? You were adopted by the church, not born into it. Even if you have a good relationship with Father Henry, you ultimately don't have a deep connection with the church.

[Furthermore, given the church's consistent emphasis on goodwill and Father Henry's established image, they believe no one will stand up for you... After all, regardless of the circumstances, you've caused their child to end up in the hospital! You have to pay compensation and apologize no matter what.]

【Huh? No money? If you don't have money, then ask Father Enrique, who's been taking care of you, to give it to you. Otherwise, keep making a scene. We can make you transfer to another school or take a leave of absence, whatever. Just keep making a scene, keep making a scene.】

However, they made a serious mistake... They assumed that no one would stand up for you, the "bad kid who hurt your classmates," and that Father Enrique would persuade you to back down so you could continue your studies. Ultimately, they believed that, under the Church's benevolent guidance, you would apologize under their continued pressure, out of a desire to "avoid trouble."

But... that's just their opinion.

They didn't accurately realize the extent of Father Enrique's attention to you, or the extent of the Church's support for you in certain aspects... or rather, no one else realized this, after all, going to such lengths for a child, especially an adopted one... that's really rare to see in the Church.

But in the end, it all just happened...

--------

[Entry: The Pious Person (Blue), now in effect]

You're more likely to get help from the church!

--------

[Initially, it was Father Enrique who learned the details of the incident from you, and after obtaining more information from the teacher on duty that day and another injured student, he began to persuade you.]

Father Enrique first stated that he would not blame you because you did it to protect someone, and besides, you didn't initially intend to use violence; you were only forced to hurt others in the end. Moreover, judging from the situation, you were only trying to protect yourself from further harm... Therefore, he will not blame you.

At the same time, he encouraged you, because no matter what, your good intentions in wanting to protect others are commendable and praiseworthy. Therefore... he will help you, not to mention that you are actually in the better position in this matter.

So from now on... let the adults take responsibility. Protecting and guiding children like you is their job.

[And so, the whole thing started veering in a direction that they, the parents who were causing the trouble, had never anticipated.]

[First of all, Father Henry didn't try to persuade you to back down; instead, he adopted an even tougher stance than they did, showing that you were not wrong, because given the circumstances, you were simply acting in self-defense... Is self-defense a sin?]

Secondly, your initial intention was to help others. Was that a wrong idea? Not to mention, you didn't even fight back at first, and you still have bruises on your body, though they weren't particularly serious. It's just that your forbearance and concession didn't receive the response and respect you deserved; instead, they provoked even stronger malice, which forced you to fight back.

What? You're allowed to hit others, but others aren't allowed to hit you back? What kind of logic is that?

Finally... and most seriously, their child had committed similar acts of intimidation and even harm to classmates on several occasions at school, but these incidents were all suppressed in the end.

So no matter how you look at it, you're in the right.

Father Enrique also suggested that the school authorities thoroughly examine the campus environment...it's very problematic.

Father Enrique then used his connections to some extent, offering to compensate them for the medical expenses they requested... After all, it was your fault that their child was hospitalized, so you could compensate for that, but anything beyond that... don't even think about it.

On the other hand, it's about preparing for their even more unreasonable actions.

[However, Father Enrique was overthinking it... because after learning about your situation, Mother Teresa also sent her concern and greetings, and even the theological scholar who once taught you the "meditation" method, upon learning of your situation, indicated that he would help handle the matter and sent you some greetings, his words filled with fervent affection and tenderness... Hmm, isn't that a little creepy?]

Then, perhaps because the commotion was a bit too loud, the church also came to take notice... and things escalated even further.

At this point, the parents realized they had gone too far. They might gain some benefits by being unreasonable and taking advantage of the situation, but if things escalated further and exceeded their expectations and capabilities... everything would "collapse."

Not to mention, once the whole incident was fully analyzed, almost everyone could see that they were in the wrong. As the incident gained more and more attention and gradually escalated into a serious topic of "how to deal with and handle school violence," their fate was basically sealed.

They must apologize to the students their children harmed and compensate them for some of the damages... This compensation was their own demand, probably because they are not short of money, so they are trying to use money to appease the anger of the students and parents and prevent them from continuing to make demands at this point.

Secondly... their child has to transfer schools because this incident has essentially ruined their child's life, and they also have to move to a new place to avoid the limelight.

In the end, their relative... was also expelled by the school, as a way to quell public opinion and anger.

Moreover, after they left, their family inexplicably began to experience more and more misfortune, with one bad thing after another happening. In the end, they had to spend money to avoid further trouble, and their once wealthy life gradually faded away, turning them into a family that became increasingly impoverished.

Perhaps it's due to changes in his family's financial situation, or perhaps your incident has been a blow to him, or maybe both. After starting his new school, he gradually changed, abandoning his former principal-like attitude and becoming increasingly well-behaved... There's no way around it; his family had seriously warned him not to cause any more trouble. They no longer have the spare money or the resources to deal with these kinds of problems for him.

Fortunately, perhaps they hit rock bottom and bounced back, or perhaps heaven took pity on them. After their child became well-behaved, their family's situation gradually improved. Although they were not as wealthy as before, at least they were no longer struggling financially.

Well... you don't know any of this, and you don't care anyway.

As for the impact this incident had on you... well, it did have some effect. You felt somewhat regretful for causing Father Henry the Priest trouble.

Although Father Enrique did not blame you and indicated that you had not made any mistake, you still felt that you had done something wrong, that you hadn't done it well, or that you weren't good enough.

If only we could find a way to hit someone without causing serious injury, and to make them feel pain without requiring a hospital stay...

[Hiss... Huh? Maybe I should just study medicine in the future—you think so?]

[Wouldn't it be better to study the human body more closely, finding those parts that, when struck, cause excruciating pain but don't result in particularly serious consequences? That way, people can be taught a lesson without incurring severe repercussions.]

[Besides, if I study medicine, I can heal others in the future, hmm... that sounds pretty good, so let's do it this way! I'll try my best in that direction! — You made your decision in your heart]

--------

[Entry: Awakening (purple), now in effect]

You have already decided on your future path.

--------

[Also, your popularity at school... has become a little strange because of this.]

Some people think you're a good person because you're brave, and in the end, you not only drove away those who hurt you, but you also made them pay the price and apologize to those you had hurt... Although this can't undo the damage done, it's enough.

[But others think you're dangerous... Like I said, you sent someone to the hospital, even though you just fell pretty hard. But that's how rumors spread; they get twisted into you beating someone up and sending them to the hospital... Well, it's hard to say.]

[Also, there's a rumor that your current good student act is just an act, and that you're actually someone who uses "vulgar language" casually, and your tone and attitude aren't as gentle as you seem... In short, you have another side to you.]

These are roughly the reasons why these people have chosen to distance themselves from you.

The others also chose to keep their distance from you... because this incident made them realize that you're not someone to be trifled with.

However, you don't seem to care much about this, and you continue to treat others with the same attitude as before, helping out here and striking up a conversation there. Besides practicing your musical instrument, you exercise and occasionally accept invitations to go out and have fun with others.

Just like you said, as an outstanding person, you only need to show yourself like a star, and people will come to you, people will chase after you. If you feel lonely... haha, there will always be similar stars shining, and then you will know where your companions are.

[And during this process, a small unexpected event occurred... that is, Wilvie started to take the initiative to talk to you.]

While everyone else subconsciously keeps their distance from you, this "socially awkward" girl, Vivi, actually starts to actively close the distance between you.

Although she still seemed somewhat timid, she was much better than before... even if it was only towards you, it was undoubtedly a good start.

[And you can often feel her gaze lingering on you, and during conversations, her words reveal... envy? Sometimes you can also sense that she wants to say something to you, but after opening her mouth, she swallows it back, as if she wants to discuss something with you but is hesitant.]

[Until one day, as usual, you stayed in the school's music room after school to practice your instrument and get a feel for it, when Velvet quietly came up to you... She seemed to want to talk to you about something.]

You readily agreed, seeing it as a good opportunity to "enlighten" Vilvie.

After hesitating for a moment, Vivi seemed to have made up her mind and slowly began to tell you about her ordeal.

After skipping a grade, she tried to communicate with others and make friends with them, hoping to change her "socially anxious" ways, with encouragement from her parents... and then she was threatened and intimidated.

The reason is simple and ridiculous—it's purely out of jealousy, jealousy of Velvi's talent, and even spreading rumors that Velvi's grades were obtained through cheating.

Although the rumors quickly disappeared with the teacher's help, the fact that such a response was the first time she had shown goodwill and taken the initiative to reach out to others actually exacerbated her social anxiety. Moreover, because of the intimidation, she deliberately lowered her grades.

She didn't want to cause trouble, nor did she want those people to come after her. Besides, controlling her grades wasn't too difficult for her... Moreover, because her grades were too good, coupled with her socially awkward personality and poor communication skills, she wasn't very popular in class. Therefore, Wilvi thought that if she were like everyone else, and her grades were similar to theirs, wouldn't everyone accept her? At least they would have something in common, right?

This method is indeed effective, but not very common... because although the scores may be similar, problems arise after actual interaction—others get 90 points because they put in their best effort, while Vilvie gets 90 points because she wanted to get 90 points. The difference is obvious.

So even if others approach Velvi because of their similar grades, and they study together privately, Velvi will give herself away... When faced with a difficult concept, Velvi doesn't understand why others can't grasp it, because it's easy for her; while the others don't understand why Velvi can't understand their own difficulty—is this concept really that simple?

[And even if Velvet wanted to explain it to others, well... with her current "eloquence," explaining it clearly would be extremely difficult.]

[And so, her hopes of integrating into the group were dashed. Coupled with her declining grades, she lost the teachers' attention. More importantly, after these repeated setbacks, she no longer wanted to express herself... That's it.]

There's nothing wrong with blending in and being a nobody; it saves you from standing out too much and attracting unwanted attention... It's okay not to have friends, since you started out alone anyway, haha...

And that's how Wilvi ended up like this... As for why Wilvi didn't tell her parents about what happened, she said somewhat embarrassedly—she didn't dare, and didn't want her parents to worry.

[She had initially promised her parents she would try to improve her social anxiety, but it only got worse, making her even more hesitant to tell them about her situation... As for being threatened, after learning about the experiences of other classmates who had encountered similar situations, she silently chose to keep quiet... Anyway, controlling her grades wasn't difficult for her.]

Hmm... *hesitating*

[But the fact that Vilvie said it at least proves she has the idea of ​​changing...that's really good, isn't it?]

However, next, Vervi expressed her envy of you.

【……ah?】

According to Vilvi, she envies your cheerfulness, your confidence in everything you do, and your ability to excel at everything you do. Your musical talent is truly admirable... Others don't even have the chance to be envious; they can only sigh in admiration.

Furthermore, when faced with threats, she admires your ability to maintain perfect politeness at the beginning, and then switch back in a split second without hesitation to defeat the person threatening you...

At this point, she even vividly imitated your tone of voice at the time, and made a few gestures based on her own imagination... To be honest, her imitation was quite accurate.
