I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

The commotion they were making also attracted the attention of the other students in the class. Although Ximiao's pitiful sobs made a group of girls want to go forward and help her.

But the atmosphere between the two of them seemed such that disturbing them now would be inappropriate.

If looks could kill, the girl named Yukiko would have devoured Arisa, who was openly flaunting her love, countless times over.

Driven by this anger, an unrealistic idea quietly surfaced in her mind.

in the afternoon.

After that little farce during lunch break, heaven knows how much water and juice Ximiao drank before she finally recovered from the lingering effects of the spicy pudding.

As the bell rang to signal the end of the last class of the afternoon, Ximiao, who still had a bit of a headache, stretched.

"Phew~ It's finally the weekend. This week felt especially tough~ Don't you think so, Arisa?"

"It was definitely a tough time, but it was still quite exciting, wasn't it?"

Arisa smiled and said to Himo, just as she was about to get up with Himo to go to the locker room in the gymnasium to change clothes.

Suddenly, a girl called out from the classroom doorway.

"Qianya? The teacher wants to see you in the office."

This forced Arisa to stop what she was doing, and then she turned around and spoke to Himo behind her.

"Then Mio, you go change your clothes first, I'll go over there later."

"Huh? Okay, Arisa, do you think it's alright if I go change at Hanako's place?"

If he were alone, he really wouldn't want to go to the gymnasium's locker room to change.

However, Arisa rejected his suggestion without the slightest hesitation.

"No."

After saying that, she walked towards the classroom door without looking back, leaving Ximiao alone in the classroom, packing her schoolbag.

After a while, Ximiao came to the locker room of the gymnasium alone. Because it was still early, he assumed that there was no one else in the locker room.

then.

Completely unprepared, Xi Ling pushed open the door and went inside. The lights were off, and it was pitch black, so she couldn't see anything.

"Strange...why aren't the lights on?"

Just as he was groping along the wall, trying to find the light switch, the locker room door was suddenly closed.

Then, the lights suddenly turned on, so bright that Ximiao couldn't adjust for a moment and couldn't help but reach out to shield her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he heard several unfamiliar voices ringing out not far away.

"Oh my, is this the foreign... mixed-race boy you guys were talking about in Class 1-A?"

"It does look really cute~ I wonder what's underneath the clothes, it must look great in photos."

Once Xi Ling's eyes had fully adjusted to the light, he realized that a group of girls he didn't recognize were staring at him from the front, and the door to the locker room behind him was being guarded, completely cutting off his escape route.

Among them, he noticed two girls who looked very familiar, as if they were his classmates. Unable to contain her curiosity, Ximiao asked them.

"Who are you? What are you doing gathered in the locker room?"

Judging from their clothes alone, those girls dressed in flamboyant attire were probably the delinquent girls from the upper grades that his classmates had mentioned.

Ke Xiling really couldn't understand why they wanted to see her.

While Ximio was being surrounded, on the other side, Arisa, who had received the notification, went to the faculty office and looked at her homeroom teacher, who had already packed her things and was ready to go home and have fun, with a bewildered expression.

"Hmm? Arisa-san? You came to see me? Is there something you want to tell the teacher?"

"Huh? Didn't you call me over, teacher?"

For a moment, the two stood in the office, staring at each other, unable to figure out what was going on.

Chapter Ninety-Eight Anger

"What are you doing! Don't come any closer! I'm warning you! Arisa will be here soon. If you bully me, you'll be in big trouble!"

Seeing the group of delinquent girls approaching her step by step, Nozomi, who was seeing such a scene for the first time, couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and said something like that, trying to intimidate others.

He stealthily reached into his pocket and, based on his memory of the locations of the apps on his phone, tried to call Arisa.

Just open your contacts, and the call log will show either Honoka or Arisa; just press either one!

All he could do now was pray that Arisa would finish her work in the teacher's office quickly and come to his rescue.

"You should just give up resisting, Mio. If anyone's to blame, it's you and Arisa for being such an eyesore. You're always hanging out together, never considering how we feel at all!"

Even now, Yukiko, one of the instigators, still feels that she did nothing wrong.

In her opinion, if Hiyo and Arisa weren't so eye-catching and stealing her thunder, she wouldn't have done such a thing.

So, if anyone's to blame, it's their own fault for being so blind.

Just as Nozomi was about to meet her doom in the gymnasium's locker room, Arisa, who was in the teacher's office staring at her homeroom teacher, suddenly felt her phone ring in her pocket.

After signaling to the teacher to wait a moment, she took it out and saw that it was a call from Xi Ling.

Without a second thought, Arisa pressed the answer button, but instead of hearing Nozomi's voice as she expected, she heard several unfamiliar female voices.

This immediately darkened Arisa's expression. Arisa's homeroom teacher, who had worked there for so long, was naturally very perceptive and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Arisa-san? Has something happened?"

Upon hearing the somewhat worried question from her teacher beside her, Arisa quickly composed herself and smiled as she spoke to her homeroom teacher.

"Teacher, could you please come with me?"

"Eh?"

Although she didn't know what had happened, since this problem student, who was originally a major headache for her, had said so, it wasn't easy for her, as the teacher, to refuse.

Well, it's not out of curiosity!

At this moment, Xi Ling didn't know whether the call had gone through or not, since she had turned the volume down to the minimum so that no one else would find out that she had made the call.

So much so that even Hiyo herself wasn't sure whether Arisa knew what was happening on his end.

While Ximiao was preoccupied with other things and somewhat absent-minded, the arrogant and domineering delinquent girls naturally noticed that Ximiao's attention was not on them.

"Hey! You're pretty arrogant, aren't you? Don't think we'll go easy on you just because you're cute. If you keep a few photos of yourself on your phone, you should know what will happen to you, right?"

The fact that she dared to say such things shows that this wasn't the first time she had done this, except that the previous targets were all girls she had bullied.

So when she learned that the target was a boy, she was quite dismissive, thinking it was a waste of time... It wasn't until Yukiko showed her the secretly taken photos of Nozomi that she agreed to stand up for her.

The reason she could act so recklessly was thanks to her parents.

The delinquent girls who can attend St. Martin's Private High School must come from wealthy and powerful families. For students from ordinary families, these delinquents are like wolves seeing sheep.

According to this unsavory prior investigation, Nozomi's family background is quite ordinary, and she can only make up for the high tuition fees and living expenses by relying on scholarships and part-time jobs.

Although it is risky to bully a top student in the eyes of the teacher, as long as she controls the intensity of her violence and successfully gets leverage over him, things will become much easier afterward.

then.

She then said to her henchmen, "Hold him down and take off all his clothes. Remember not to hurt his face. If the teacher sees him, it will be troublesome."

Following the leader's orders, the other delinquent girls stepped forward and, taking advantage of their height, quickly restrained Nozomi's hands.

However, perhaps because the school uniform was of such high quality, and because Nozomi refused to cooperate and struggled fiercely, they really couldn't take off the clothes for a while.

As a result, the woman sitting on the bench in the locker room couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily.

"Don't you guys know how to use scissors?! He's too scared to move, because it'll hurt a lot if he gets cut by them~ Right, Mio-kun~"

Clearly, her second half of the sentence was addressed to Ximiao, hoping that Ximiao would be a little more sensible and not put both of them in a difficult position.

"Um, Senior..."

Yukiko, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly jumped out and started to make her presence known.

"Did you bring those drugs that we agreed on before, the ones that can make boys lose their minds? I can't wait to humiliate him."

The drug she mentioned was naturally the kind that would put Himiko into a state of readiness. It seems she lacked confidence and took matters into her own hands to get Himiko into the right state.

Upon hearing Yukiko's question, the delinquent girl gave a disdainful smile and then took out a small pink pill from her pocket.

"Don't forget, even if we agree to your request, it's only your turn to go on stage after we've finished."

"Yes, yes, I know."

At this point, Yukiko couldn't care less about anything else. She just wanted to see Nozomi, who had always looked down on her and had been her classmate for over a year, crying and begging for mercy in her hands.

After a while, just as they finally managed to get Ximiao's clothes off and were about to proceed to the next step.

Just then, the door to the changing room was knocked on. It was probably a club member who came to change clothes for a club activity.

This caused the group of delinquent girls to pause in their actions.

Although they are considered delinquent girls, everyone outside is from sports clubs. If a fight were to break out, their chances of winning would be almost nil...

However, this was good news for Himo, who immediately called out towards the door.

"Help! Someone help..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone swiftly covered his mouth.

Meanwhile, the members of the women's basketball club, who were usually outside the door, asked with some confusion.

"Strange... I think I heard Nozomi's voice coming from inside just now."

"Huh? Could it be that you and Arisa were inside doing those shameless things?"

Distracted like this, the girls who were wondering if something had happened blushed instantly, and the image of Arisa and Nozomi entwined together kept popping into their minds.

As a result, after this lighthearted banter, they completely missed each other with Nozomi.

Just as the girls were about to change their clothes elsewhere, they saw Arisa and a teacher following behind her rushing over at the entrance of the gymnasium.

"Huh? Aren't Arisa in the locker room with Nozomi...?"

"Wait, could it be that she cheated on me?!"

Just as their thought processes were becoming increasingly strange and absurd, Arisa stepped forward and hurriedly asked.
