"It was her, she came in and then kicked a bucket towards us," the one in the middle complained pointing at Astra.
Astra smiled as if she find them amusing instead of irritating.
She also tapped the other three who was still standing surrounding her gesturing for them to take a sit.
Though they also knew that standing does not change the fact that Astra was in the middle of their despise.
They could only return to their sits while glaring at the three ladies, it was obviously them who wanted to make trouble for Astra but because she was able to retaliate they just push the blame towards her.
Astra yawned when the teacher glared at her, "Is it my fault now because they said it was mine?"
The teacher frowned, "Such disrespectful mouth, look at them they are obviously the victims. Why are you acting so arrogantly."
Astra laughed shocking all her classmates except her friends.
They somehow knew that she was a bit of a short tempered person and she loves speaking what was on her mind. Especially so when she is angry.
"Ma'am I am a number four."
One sentence alone made everyone fall silent. She was indeed just a number four, her senses are supposed to be lower than those who have higher numbers at the same time it was three who fell victim to the bucket.
If they were not so sure of themselves then it would have been easy for them to dodge it if she brought it with her.
"What about all of you?" the teacher had no retort and so she asked her classmates.
"If they say they saw me bring that bucket to class will you believe them ma'am?" Astra still answered.
"They are witnesses," the teacher replied.
"You are currently the judge here. A judge would wait for evidences and witnesses to judge a criminal. So even if the witnesses are lying you will still believe them because they are the witness. Then what should the innocent one do?"
Once again everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect for her to retort with such words.
For the second time the teacher was once again left with no retort.
"Just because someone said it is my fault even though I was not the start of it, then is it really my fault now? Even if that attack was supposed to be sent to me, must I just accept it without retaliating allowing them to have the fulfillment of hurting someone?"
She stood up and released an aura or superiority, "Why must people bully others? Because of jealousy? Then if I am jealous must I also bully others? Must I hurt others as well in order to release that envy?"
The teacher and the three girls ended up taking a step back with her eyes that seems like iit was piercing through their souls.
"All I wanted was to lead my school life as peaceful and silent as possible, yet you come for me with the intention of messing with me. Are you telling me to just accept it just because I am a number four who ended up in the top class?"
Her eyes went to the teacher and said.
When she saw the way the teacher looked at her a while ago, she knew she came here early in order to reprimand her.
The teacher must have known what they are planning.
And this disappointed Astra a lot, she never come down and knew that people have this side. She just didn't expect she'd meet such people the moment she did come down.
"I never said anything like that," being in the center of the judging eyes of the student, the teacher could only say.
She then turned to the girls who stopped sniffing their imaginary tears, "As for you girls, how long are you going to stay that way? Go and get change before the class starts. I just passed by here and heard your shouts making me come. Who would have thought it was so little."
After saying this the teacher left and the three girls could only glare at Astra before leaving to get change as well.
Just as Astra sat down, Kaito placed a hand on her shoulder. When she looked back, he was nodding his head as if what she said was truly right before he raised both hands and gave her a thumbs up.
Astra shook her head before returning to her interrupted sleep, she only has about fifteen minutes of power nap before she faces that teacher once again.
The others could only remain silent while testing the waters surrounding her group of friends. They knew that it was this four who are actually the top of their class and their abilities are really among the best, that they can even compare with the second years.
The other three didn't expect such words from her and didn't expect that her words were so effective in shutting not just their classmates but also their teacher who looks so fierce.
In the end, the one in the middle of all these remained nonchalant and was actually already asleep.
Astra puffed her cheeks as she glared at the oval they currently are in, their activity for today was strengthening their physical bodies.
Which means running ten rounds around the course.
"This is a normal thing in school, don't be too agitated by this," Kaito said upon seeing her look.
"Why is it that our first class is training?" she looked at him and asked.
It was known to her companions that she was someone who was really lazy and her being good at fighting is only because she had lived far longer than those in the land. And there are times where she also wanted to exercise her body.
The other three could only shake their heads at her, the more they know her the more they find her amusing in so many ways.
"Come on now, you have already slept anyway. Shall we?" Kaname pulled her by the hand and said.
The three men could only follow them, they can still feel people wanting to get back at Astra for what happened this morning and for the fact that she was still a number four among them.
Not everyone would accept it after all.
Having no other choice, Astra started running with Kaname.
Since this oval was surrounded by the buildings of the other years, as she run she also expanded her presence in order to try and see if that jerk could really be on the same school as her or not.
She just run and expand not noticing the looks the people are already giving her after some time.
"I think you can stop running already," Kaito who just a bit breathless said beside her.
"Why?" she asked.
"You've been running two laps over the ten laps that the teacher tasked us to do. You already out run the others a lot of times who are still on their eight lap," Kaito replied with a laugh.
Astra stopped running and looked back, indeed a lot were running much slower than the beginning and the others who are on the side were staring at her as if she was an out of this world person.
"Oh, I didn't notice," she said before walking to where the others are.
Kaito who was actually running with her when Kaname started falling back, shakes his head and walked back with her. Kaname and the other two are on their last lap already as well.
"You don't look tired at all," Kaito lied down on the grass catching his breath.
"Must be because my mind was somewhere else while thinking," she replied with a shrug before lying down beside him.
Since most are still on their eight while some are one their sixth lap, the two of them was able to rest well while the other three followed not long after.
The teacher, Kikune, was gritting her teeth.
She tasked them ten laps for Astra always sleeps, she thought this would be tough on her, who would have thought that from start to finish, Astra's speed may not became faster but it didn't slow down either.
It was constant which is actually an abnormal thing.
'It seems that her pure powers was not all what she has,' she thought irritated before her eyes went to Kaname who was with Astra.
