Chapter 80 Conforming To A Cliche

"Plz don't do this... My family is waiting for me.

While trembling in fear, the girl turned to face the boys.

There had to be a way for her to convince them otherwise, right?

Since they were only 13-year-olds like herself, they couldn't have all been bad, right?

Only adult offenders would typically commit crimes of this nature, not young boys her age.

So why were they acting in this manner?

The girl's mind began to race with questions as she frantically searched for a solution to get out of her current situation.

Sadly no such answer managed to come to the girl.

It was impossible for her to resist because something sharp was piercing her neck.

In other words…

She was forced to follow the boys' orders due to her predicament.

Reflexively, the girl shut her eyes, as if doing so would make her attackers vanish. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

But she knew deep down.

For her, it marked the end of the road.

'I hope the school learns about what occurred here and makes them pay'

She really hoped that these individuals would be held accountable for what they were about to do, even if it meant that she would first be humiliated before being killed by these boys.

The academy was the only group that was capable of doing so.

They were all she had left.

'What if I committed suicide?'

Her thoughts flashed images of her family working hard to save money to send her to the academy.

Every waking hour was spent by her father working in the fields as he desperately tried to raise money for her school.

To give their daughter a better life, her mother worked endless extra hours in the cafe, dealing with countless rowdy clients.

Even though they were perpetually worn out, the girl's parents always greeted her with a friendly grin.

Her eyes started to water on the sides.

Mom... Dad... I'm very sorry. All of your efforts... all of your love and consideration in raising me... Only for me to die like this

The boys' breathing became ragged when they noticed her tear-stained face.

Because of just how stunning the girl was, they were deeply moved by her crying visage.

However, a rush of pleasure flowed alongside their feelings of pity.

Some of their darkest emotions came to the surface as they saw the girl struggle with tears in her eyes

Some of their darkest emotions came to the surface as they saw the girl struggle with tears in her eyes

It was the sort of cruel satisfaction a young child would experience when tearing an ant's legs off.

The same cruel thrill from seeing a helpless creature entirely at your mercy.

Because of the girl's beauty, threatening her was even more enjoyable.

One of the boys licked his lips with visible excitement.

As he approached, he took a fistful of the girl's hair and held it up to his nose.

*SNIFF*

He closed his eyes in satisfaction and let the scent of her hair fill his nose.

"You smell beautiful, even after spending a day outside in this wretched forest."

With a whimper, the girl turned her head away from the boy.

'Someone… Please help me…'

Before turning to his friend, whose finger was covered with a sharp rock, the boy holding her hair took one final whiff of her smell.

"I think it's time to 'prepare' her."

The boy whose finger was covered in a rock smiled eerily.

"Do you want it all off? Or just a bit?"

"We don't have all day. If someone else comes here by accident, everything will go to sh*t. Plus, I want to see how she looks without all of those useless clothes!"

The boy holding the girl's hair nodded in agreement.

"Let's hurry up then."

The four boys all gathered around the girl and pinned her down.

Since one of the guys still held a sharp rock to her neck, she wasn't able to struggle.

While she knew that she would most likely die, she was too afraid to do something as extreme as biting off her own tongue or letting the boy plunge his finger into her neck.

Somewhere deep down she still held the naive belief that as long as she persevered, somehow everything would work out.

She would somehow escape from her aggressors and be free.

One of the guys gulped down hard and reached for her shirt, in an attempt to remove it.

However right before he could, he heard the sound of a glass shattering behind him.

*BANG*

The guys all turned around in alarm but quickly realized something was wrong. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

The entire area was engulfed in a cloud of smoke, causing the boys to cough violently.

*Cough Cough*

"I can't see anything!"

"What the hell's happening?"

"Why is there smoke!"

"Someone must have found us!"

The boys all stood up and began to search their surroundings.

They began to desperately scan the smoke, to find anything that could indicate where their possible attackers could be hiding.

The boy who grabbed the girl's hair noticed something silver-coloured rush past his line of sight.

He couldn't properly judge who the figure was, but by its body structure, it appeared to be a human.

"G-mmhh!"

He opened his mouth to alert his friends, but the instant he opened he felt a blunt force strike him in the stomach.

"ACK!"

Feeling the sudden onslaught of pain, the boy's eyes rolled up and he fell backwards with a *THUNK*.

The last thing he saw was the cold glowing amethyst-coloured eyes.

Something straight out of a horror movie.

If it wasn't for the pain overloading his pain receptors, causing him to faint, he might have peed his pants in fear.

"What was that? Are you guys okay?"

"I'm good but something happened! Nick and Lucas, are you guys okay?"

"Don't worry I'm still good here, Nick how about you?"

Hearing no response, Lucas decided to ask again.

"Nick, are you deaf? The answer already!"

"...Lucas, get into a fighting stance. Whomever it was, already took out Nick."

"FUCK! WHOMEVER YOU ARE YOU FUCKER, WE'LL END YOU!"

Seeing their reactions, Arvell smiled coldly to himself amidst the smoke.

"Let's see you try."
