-Chapter 08-
After Blossom had departed from Mary, As she had been told, she went to the first floor in search of this mystery crush.
Finally, she had arrived, and the first floor was currently filled with students.
Blossom noticed there were multiple round desks spread out where students were sitting, with each table containing four chairs, unlike the second floor, which had square tables facing each other with double chairs opposite each table.
Blossom went looking around the library and checked out boys that could be potential prey.
Most of the boys here were either smart people who flipped through pages after pages of history books or just delinquents who were forced here by teachers due to projects.
After studying the environment for a while, she found no one interesting.
She already knew what type of boys would come here, and it was no surprise to her, but since Mary said she had a secret admiral here, she thought it could at least change her perspective on how she viewed nerds. But it was a horrible thought.
Because her viewpoint hadn't changed one bit, it just worsened.
Although this was boring, she still kept her eyes out for any miracles that could transpire.
As she continued to walk around the library, she ventured into different sections, but seeing her effort not yield any results, she decided to take a break.
"Oh boy, hunting is physically draining." blossom concluded as she brought out a baby wipe from the tiny patch on her side and wiped a seat clean with it. After wiping, she sat down, crossing her legs like a queen on her throne.
She took out a nail clipper from her patch and calmly trimmed her nails.
During the process of her trimming, a boy with glasses and a textbook under his armpit walked over and drew a chair, ready to take a seat.
"What are you doing?" Blossom paused her trimming and took a good look at the boy. He was rather slim, mostly on his hands and legs. His pale skin and dehydrated face didn't complement his look at all. His resemblance to a starved beggar was uncanny.
"I want to sit," the boy replied, a little hint of fear in his eyes after recognizing the student in front of him. 'Is it really her? But what is she doing on the first floor? What is she even doing in the library?
"You can't sit here. Go play somewhere else." Blossom waved her hand, and obediently, he returned the chair to its original position and started walking away. "Wait!"
Immediately, the boy halted his step. A brown-stained baby wipe came flying his way. Reacting in time, he catches it clumsily, almost dropping it.
"Throw that out for me, will you?" Blossom said, returning to her nail trimming.
And before a second could pass by, another student again dashed right in front of her.
He panted heavily, supporting his hand on his knees as he inhaled and exhaled. Sweat could be seen dripping down his face, making him look like he just ran a marathon.
"Miss Wallfire. you're here. I've been looking everywhere for you," the boy said with a shaky voice.
"They just keep coming, and what does this one want?" Blossom frowned at the boys' action. What she disliked the most was an interruption during one of her beauty routines. Blossom classified anything that has to do with her looks and appearance as a beauty routine.
To blossom, beauty comes before anything else, except family, of course.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm a friend of your cousin, and I'm here because of him," the boy replied.
"What about him? Did something happen to my cousin?" Blossom asked, her aura immediately transforming from that of an amicable young girl to that of a wild beast.
"Well, you see, he got into a fight, and long story short, he's in the infirmary right now." The boy couldn't stop trembling in fear.
Blossom's grasp on her nail clipper tightened, and white steam began to escape her closed hands. It was as though her hand was a hot furnace burning a metallic mold. She stared deeply into the boy's eyes. "What did you just say?"

Just then, at the same time, in the doctor's office, in the corner at the back of the room, Jil slowly started to open his eyes.
"Huh, what happened?" Jil asked, "Where Am I?"
As Jil looked around the room, he started to rub his chest, and at the same time, images flashed through his head of what happened in the field.
When images of what had happened to Jill started flashing through his head, he immediately started to have this numb feeling all over his body. He was reacting to the memories of Noah's attack.
He didn't feel any discomfort, but his brain stored the feeling he had when he got hit in that particular area. It was a painful experience. Just thinking about the encounter made him furious.
"That good for nothing, Jackass. I'll destroy him the next time I see him."
"Oh, so you're awake." Pedro said with a scowl, "You were asleep so long, I thought you died in your sleep."
"How did I get here?" Jil asked.
"A boy came in and dropped you off. He said he was your friend. Just wait, that will be the least of your problems when you're back on your feet. Get well soon, okay?" Pedro said, grinning from ear to ear.
This had confirmed Jil's thought, his friends had brought him here after he fell unconscious. And the school doctor now knows he was among those people out in the field fighting.
'So does that mean they found the boy who did this to me?' jil thought.
While Jim was deep in thought, Pedro noticed that Jim was rubbing his chest with his hands.
"I got rid of the injury, but you'd have that scar for life. That should be a good reminder next time you want to break any more rules." Pedro said, "Now down to business; tell me what happened."
Once again, as he thought back to the memory of Noah's lightning attack, he started to get goosebumps all over his body.
"My friends must have told you, so why are you asking me?"
"Since you don't visit the hospital often, you might not know this, but I have to get reports from both the victim and the assailant," Pedro said, taking a notepad from his desk and clicking a pen.
"Have you gotten a report from my attacker then?" Jil asked curiously.
"Yes, I've gotten a report. Now it's your turn to tell me your own side of the story."
But just as Jil was about to speak, he heard someone crash into the room.
"Where is Jil Tornos?" a girl's voice asked.
"Do you have a visitor already?" Pedro immediately put the notepad down and went to see what all the commotion was about.
_____
EARLIER…
Although Blossom had no idea what had happened, just from looking at the student's face, she could tell it was serious.
Blossom was not worried because he was beaten, but because of who could've beaten him. Everyone in the school knew who Jil Tornos was and wouldn't want to mess with him. He wasn't just known because he was related to the Wallfire lineage, but because of his unique ability and potential.
Jil Tornos is a grand-tier ability user who has a high-grade ability called control sphere. A long-range ability type that consisted of almost indestructible hand-sized balls that could be shot out like a bullet toward its opponents.
It had both defensive and offensive properties that were quite reliable. These balls could be blocked, but not without paying a price.
And with this type of ability, who would want to mess with Jil? In the junior sections, he is actually the only one who has reached the grand tier. A genius of his generation.
Although she didn't stroke out the possibility of a senior having a hand in this, why would a senior go all the way to beat Jil? Wasn't he afraid of a parody against him?
Blossom then looked behind to see the student still on her tail. It was a pretty impressive feat for someone his age.
"Let's hurry," Blossom said.
The two of them quickly ran through the hallways until they finally reached the infirmary. They came to a halt in front of the infirmary. Multiple students with cut marks around their bodies stood outside the infirmary.
Some were sitting on the outside bench, while others rested their backs on the walls.
The atmosphere was strangely gloomy like someone had just died.
"Where's jil?" Blossom didn't hesitate and walked over. Her aura was oppressive and impaired making the atmosphere transition from that of a graveyard to that of hell.
The boys' expressions all turned Grim as they saw the almighty blossom wallfire arrive. At this moment all six boys recalled a verdict: "Where a wallfire walks, chaos follows."
All the boys wasted no time and simultaneously pointed toward the infirmary.
