Chapter 72 - Perspective of being Bullied
-
I was aroused by the morning heat irradiated by the sun. I was sweating in heat when I woke-up indicating that I've been soaked to the heat of the sun for some time now. Seia was also no longer on my side which felt like all of those things last night never happened.
I rose my body and scratch my eyes looking to my surroundings. Now that I've realized it, who opened the curtains through the window? Was it them perhaps?
If I'm right, then that's very clever of them. They probably don't know how to talk to me if they wake me, so they forced me to wake-up by soaking me into the heat of the sun.
"Ugh... I'm sweating so much..." I scratch my head in exasperation—frowning.
Thanks to the uncontrollable sweat from my body, I was forced to get out of bed and left my room to take a shower.
I immediately put on my uniform and head downstairs to take a breakfast. Luckily, I woke-up with a still bit of time remaining—so I'm not particularly anxious of being late at school.
Though... I wonder if they also think though...
As I was heading into the kitchen to eat, I saw the girls who already put in their uniform and is just idling in the living room, looking awfully uneasy for some reason. I was a bit confused since Seia was also included with them. Did she feel embarrassed or something?
Akari who was with them cheerfully approached me the same time she saw me.
"Good morning, Aruji-sama." Akari greeted and wraps her arm to mine—embracing me.
"Morning Akari, I'll go eat first then we can go after."
I felt like I was being stared by someone, but I ignored it and immediately head into the kitchen. To my surprise, there was already a plate fully prepared with food which I only need to eat.
I see, they must have prepared it for me, it was straight and awkward way of expressing themselves into me, but it was cute nonetheless. Akari also joined me and sat on my side while resting on her arms—looking at me smiling.
And again, I'm sensing someone staring at me while I'm eating. Albeit very faintly, I can still tell who they were. Really... Sigh, they sure make things awkwardly.
I put the plate on the sink and is about the left the Villa. But before I left, I shot a glance to the girls who was sitting on a sofa looking down and feels like they were about to say something.
I stopped my tracks at the front door and looked at the girls who was awfully fidgety.
"What's wrong?" I called which the three of them instantly looked into me. "Aren't we going to the academy?"
Luna, Lily, and Seia looked at each other eyes widened. Then looks at me with a smile as if they are the happiest in the world.
""YES!!"" The three shouted in unison and cheerfully approaches to my side.

(Aedan Yellowpage POV)
It's been a few hours since the class had ended. Since it's the first time you've heard of this, the thing is, I always stay and go into the Academy's Training Hall after the class had ended.
During my time here at the Training Hall, I continuously swung my sword until I felt like I can't do it anymore. I might be fat but thanks to my perseverance, my endurance had increased gradually by working everyday.
You might be wondering how inefficient my work is, but I had no choice regrettably. Because of my ugly physique no one wants to practice with me. Hence, I can only work on something I can do myself. Moreover...
"Hey, that pig's right here again."
I often got bullied whenever I go. It was a usual moment for me and sadly, I can't do anything about it...
"Hey fatass," One of the guys called, looking at me as if planning on something. "Wanna spar with us? You look easy to aim at."
The three guys who always bullies me. Emmanuel Asscrack who acts as the leader and his two lackeys. I'm not going to mention their name as they're unnecessary.
"Um... Please ask someone else..." I timidly said.
"Gahahaha! Did you guys hear that? This pig just ordered us to go somewhere."
Suddenly, Emmanuel aggressively pulled my hair into him. Looking irritated.
"Hey fatass, you don't have get any right to asked us somewhere else you bitch."
After his words, he violently slammed me to the ground. I groaned in pain as nausea started to attack me—and I can't even do anything about it.
You might be wondering why I don't fight back. Sadly, just like how Emmanuel said earlier, I can't refuse to obey them—as I'm only but a regular noble while Emmanuel is a son of a Baron.
"You want some business now huh!" Emmanuel claimed as he repeatedly slams me into the ground. His two lackeys were just happily watching me with a mocking smile on their face.
"Guh! I-I'm sorry..."
"Yeah, you better be! If I know you next—"
"Hey, what are you three doing there."
"!!"
Another face I don't even want to see has appeared. Ugh, this is the worst...
"Guh...! B-bro, why the sudden visit...?"
He is the guy that even the son of Marquis Emmanuel gets turned into a lackey whenever he appears. The guy who attacked me mercilessly in front of the Cafeteria...
(Davis Blackraven...! I have a very bad feeling about this...!)
Davis Blackraven, a noble with the same status as me and the only Blackraven left in his family caused by his parent's accident for an unknown cause, Davis was still being feared by many. Normally, violently going against a noble higher status than him would make him considered as already dead but he is different. Well, the reason is, he has the Dawnmeadow Family side on his shoulder that's why no one wanted to oppose to him. But that was a minor reason, the other one was...
"Hm?" Davis carefully looks at me, trying to remember something. "Ah! Aren't you the bastard who tried to lay a hand on Jasmine?"
I rose up from the ground and slowly change my posture as not to make them I'm hiding something.
(Ah... Here it comes, I should prepare myself and—!!)
In an instant, Davis was already in front of me. I didn't even blink as I'm carefully anticipating his moves, but I didn't even saw him move before he gets himself close.
With the same as a blink of an eye, Davis hit me with a jab that even with my heavy weight—flew off a few meters and crashed on the walls—making me almost lost my consciousness in the process.
""!!"" Even Emmanuel and his lackey looked at him with pure terror and was frozen in their feet—extremely frightened to his presence.
"I let you go because Jasmine said so but remembering that white-haired fucker (Sora) yesterday with Jasmine is making me frustrated. Extremely."
Davis then lunges towards me who's on the ground and started to pound me one after another.
"Um..." Emmanuel tries to interrupt—looking concerned. "Isn't that too much...?"
With Emmanuel's question, Davis finally stops his fist from pounding me. My face was shattered and is covered in blood—barely conscious.
"My bad, I was trying to let out some steam." Davis replied and rose away from me. "Take that guy into the infirmary."
"Wha—?! B-but—"
Davis gave Emmanuel a glare that made him gritted his teeth in terrifying pressure. "I said take that guy into the infirmary; you hear me?"
"Y-yes!" Emmanuel and his lackeys started to carry me and rush me into the infirmary. "I'll get you for this later you pig...!"
That just makes it worse! Ugh... Why is this happening to me... Just what did I do to deserve this... I just tried to converse with Jasmine because she's the only person I can ask for something and this happened...
(If only Sai or Sora were here I...)
That's right, I became friends with those two after that occurrence happened in the Cafeteria. After that, those two joins me who was eating alone in the Cafeteria earlier and tried to talk to me. I was very doubtful of them since I've had those similar tropes happened to me long ago, but it seems like they genuinely wanted to befriend me.
I wonder why though, is it because they also relate to me? Was it perhaps their getting bullied? I head Sai Crimsonheart was a bully back then, but I didn't feel any of them when he talks to me.
This is the first time I made a friend with someone as everyone is clearly avoiding me thanks to my appearance. I thought I will finally become happy but if feels like it's my punishment for meeting those two.
Sigh... I wonder when this suffering of mine will ceased...
