Chapter 241 - Chapter 241

Many tried so hard to trample Ariella's positive outlook, and the large amount of people seeing her as a friend, many banded together even at the risk of being hurt and publicly humiliated by these bullies, she wasn't always there to protect them so the harassment never stop, many went to their home bruised and hurt, fearing that those who hurt them might attack Ariella, so with a foolish mindset some just remained silent and took the beating, thinking they were protecting her,

but the twins Sara and Rose were her eyes and ears, as soon as they gained any information she would rush toward those who were hurt and console their broken and weary hearts and after class she would confront those who hurt her classmates and show them what it felt on the other side if they were the one getting beaten up.

she never wanted this outcome to happen but other students from the other class were making it hard for her to ignore their actions anymore, As much as she tried to ignore their actions, the constant harassment and disrespectful behavior from the students in the other class, it became impossible to overlook. It was evident that she could no longer turn a blind eye to the situation and had to address it by using force. 

Meanwhile, Ms. Dolores Tesfaye was already reporting to Amelia that her daughter was currently facing a situation that she needed to experience. this was the harsh world of reality, being overconfident in one skill can be hard to swallow, but if she has the heart of a warrior, she will learn from this and grow even stronger, she will be facing a group of very influential students, who has been wreaking havoc among the social circles of the school. Ms. Tesfaye emphasized the importance of teaching her daughter resilience and the ability to stand up for herself in such challenging situations. She believed that this experience would ultimately shape her daughter into a stronger individual, capable of handling any adversity that came her way. 

 

Amelia has experienced both living in constant fear and being the victim of physical assault. She is aware of the negative effects it can have on one's mental health and sense of self. She is therefore committed to giving her daughter the skills she needs to successfully negotiate these challenging social dynamics and come out stronger than ever.

 

 Amelia understands the importance of equipping her daughter with the tools to navigate difficult situations and build resilience. She believes that by giving her the proper training, their daughter about self-defense, focus, control assertiveness, and healthy boundaries, she can empower her to protect herself and maintain a strong sense of self-worth. Amelia's ultimate goal is to ensure that her daughter grows up confident, resilient, and capable of overcoming any adversity that may come her way. 

Her daughter's hidden bodyguards were given instructions to intervene if they saw her life was in danger. These bodyguards are trained professionals who are skilled in assessing threats and taking appropriate action to ensure the safety of Amelia's daughter. Amelia understands that having these additional layers of protection can provide her daughter with an extra sense of security, allowing her to navigate the world and openly experience the harsh world. and learn from it.

 

right after class Ariella along with the twins, went to see those who hurt their classmate and other students at their same class level who were at their early teens, some were a few inches taller heavier than her, but having competed in various martial tournaments and face many fight ending in both winning and being defeated, she knows the feeling of getting hurt and understands the importance of standing up for others. As Ariella approached the group, her heart raced with a mix of nerves and determination, ready to confront those who had caused harm and ensure justice was served. 

 

The tree was a few meters away walking on the only road path going out of their schools, the same street she and all of the students take every sign going in and out of an academy. The abandoned shop was right across that same street, so many students from all levels as seen and walked on that location for many days. Each student's classmates are different in all aspects of life. Some walked alone, with classmates, mates, or their common friends, but this time a few were walking behind her and the twins were all those who were bullied. who were hurt as they marched to support and protect their three friends. 

 

As they marched towards the abandoned shop, the atmosphere was tense with determination and unity. The students, regardless of their backgrounds or social circles, came together to show solidarity and stand up against the five bullies. It was a powerful display of support that left a lasting impact on everyone involved. As they reached the open yard of the old Abandon store, the five bullies smiled as they counted how many came to confront them.

 

"Is this your army little peep squeak?" 

 

" all those we have beaten up, this is your back up , a measly eight."

 

Nelly Sutton, who is ten years old, was the one who was making fun of them. , who was overweight, 4 feet tall, and irritated every pupil with his expression, was also 4 feet tall.. he was your typical bully, and those around him were all the same. At that very young age, they were already acting out their violent tendencies. The bullies reveled in their power, relishing the fear they instilled in others.

 Nelly Sutton, with his intimidating presence and knack for getting under people's skin, was the ringleader of this young gang. It was clear that their violent tendencies had already taken hold at such a tender age. 

the four surrounded them and force them to enter the old store forgotten backyard,

the four surrounded them and force them to enter the old store backyard, the place was big enough for a half basketball court. As Nelly Sutton and his gang surrounded their victims, their menacing stares and aggressive postures made it clear that resistance was futile. With no escape route in sight, the victims were forced into the forgotten backyard of an old store, a vast space resembling a half basketball court.

 The victims could feel the tension in the air as they stepped into the abandoned backyard, its overgrown weeds and broken windows adding to the eerie atmosphere. The sound of their own footsteps echoed off the decaying walls, intensifying their fear of what awaited them in this desolate place. 

 

The feeling of fear came and Terror sucked the very breath from their mouth, as more delinquents were waiting for them inside the old abandoned store back yard, it was a perfect place for these group to gather, because the place was surrounded by an old but high wooden fence that blocked any potential escape routes.

 The group could feel the weight of the impending danger as they cautiously approached the entrance, knowing that they were about to confront a formidable force within those walls, not knowing what was nesting inside the old building.

 

The ten students, including the twins, were now in a desperate situation. The stories that surrounded the place were nothing compared to the twelve various delinquents in all the classes at their level, they never expected to see faces that they never expected would be bullies because of their silent demeanor. The tension in the air was palpable as they exchanged nervous glances, realizing that their assumptions about the other students had been shattered. It was a harsh reminder that appearances can be deceiving, and they now had to navigate this treacherous environment with caution and uncertainty. 

 

But even with all the tension, Ariella Laila Liu Chen a seven-year-old who stood 3 and a half feet tall and 17 lbs, with black hair and light brown eyes, walked up to Nelly Sutton as he was laughing hard, thinking that these students were foolish enough to face...

 

Nelly Sutton burst out a heavy moan as a kick from Ariella caught him off guard, sending him sprawling to the ground. The other students gasped in surprise, their laughter quickly turning into hushed whispers. It was clear that Ariella was not to be underestimated, and her small stature belied a strength and tenacity that demanded respect. 

 

The four students who were Nelly Sutton lacey were shocked but decide to attack her without thinking of any strategy , Ariella was already in her defensive stance as each lackey attack her their motions were slow and lacking actually fighting experience, but Ariella effortlessly dodged their clumsy strikes and countered with swift, precise movements. Her training in martial arts was evident as she swiftly incapacitated each opponent, leaving them sprawled on the ground in defeat. The other students watched in stunned silence as Ariella emerged victorious, proving that size truly didn't matter when it came to skill and focus; even if she was just seven years old her movements were no longer childlike , but rather showcased a level of grace and mastery beyond her years. Her dedication to her martial arts training was evident in every fluid motion, as she seamlessly transitioned from one attack to another. It was clear that Ariella possessed a natural talent and a deep understanding of the art form, making her a force to be reckoned with despite her young age. 

 

Watching movies and actually training with her father and grandfather, Ariella was able to absorb different techniques and styles, further enhancing her skills. She eagerly soaked up every bit of knowledge and applied it with precision, displaying a remarkable ability to adapt and improvise in combat scenarios. Her passion for martial arts was undeniable, fueling her efforts to constantly push herself beyond her limits. 

But even with this, she could see that some of the delinquents were watching her and looked relaxed; these were signs that these individuals were potentially sizing her up as a potential opponent. However, she remained unfazed and continued to focus on beating the first five. The twins were fully aware that staying near Ariella was a risky move. They had witnessed her skills firsthand and knew that challenging the other delinquents to help her would be a mistake and might even give the enemy the upper hand.

 

The twins were avid fans of crime movies and novels, and they found out that there was one thing in common in these stories: that being a burden to the main protagonist was a clear indication of a stupid move, and it would not end well for them. Despite their curiosity, they wisely decided to keep their distance, observe from afar, and gradually walk backward and act out. They were also shocked as they neared the fence opening, realizing that engaging with the enemy would only lead to Ariella's defeat. 

 

The six other delinquents were just sitting on the opposite side; they were much closer to Ariella.

Sara and Rose personalities were carefree and super shrewd and understood the complexities of the world around them now, as supernatural forces have turned their reality upside down. Acting foolish without thinking was never in their vocabulary, especially in a life-or-death situation like this. They knew that strategizing and working together would be their best chance at survival. As they observed Ariella's predicament, they quickly devised a plan to rescue her without engaging in direct combat. 

 

Lucky Sara was a member of the Majorette Band, while her twin Rose was a trumpeter. Sara swiftly took her baton and threw it in a twiddling motion toward Ariella. As she grabbed the batten, all of her eight friends turned around and ran out of the enclosed fence. They all dashed toward the academy security office and asked for help, while Ariella was twirling the baton like a weapon and using it to fend off attackers. With each twirl and swing, Ariella displayed an unexpected skill and agility, and because the tips were made of rubber, using them as a weapon was suitable and somewhat less painful.

 

Nelly Sutton and his group were crawling on the ground and were asking for help from the other six waiting. These were comprised of four males and two females in their early teens, who were also part of the academy's upper elite.
