《HER FACE》 Episode 1 - Chapter 1: The Mysterious Girls Narration "This world would be boring without characters who consider themselves the navel of the universe!" Today, I enter the most prestigious high school in the city. It''s not easy to get into this school. Coincidentally, the president of this school has a big secret and I''m the one who knows it. When revealed, there will be a bit of drama to create a big wave of publicity. If anyone has a rare opportunity like this, they will have applied for the best class. I, on the contrary, apply for the worst class. The reason is straightforward. That place where there are many interesting things to build the story with evil characters¡­ The teacher of that class is a pretty young woman who looks intellectual but timid and immature. Although standing next to her, she says nothing but still shivers unsightly. Coming into the class, I look around the class and also learn the use of the gold board. The top class will have the best facilities, but this class looks like a vacant room for a long time. Enter the classroom, curious eyes mixed with contempt look at me. Really interesting! This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. ''This is our new student. Let''s support her in the future.'' ''Hi everyone. I am Ivy. Nice to meet you y''all.'' My seat is at a table near the bottom next to the window. The bell rings at the end of the class. It''s a 30-minute break between classes. This class, although ranked at the bottom, is extremely hard-working. The sound of writing on paper never stops, everyone bowed, and no one dares to take a single step out. Looking around, there is nothing good. Boring! I stand up and go out of class. As soon as I step out of the classroom door, a boy spreads his arms to stop me. ''Hey newbie, you might not know the rules of this class. Only the 10 best students can go out to play. The rest have to study.'' This guy''s words sound¡­ too confident. I look around and it is true. There are only a few people going out in the class. The rest are worried, squirming, neither protesting nor angry. Glancing at him, the class president is not him. Moreover, this idiotic rule cannot be made by that gentle teacher. It could only be him - the navel of the universe. Chapter 2: His hand is still in front of me. His expression shows a very clear sense of irony. Maybe he thinks I enter this class with very low marks. It''s a long time since I last saw a person like this. Maybe I should have some fun with him. ''You seem not to be the class president right?'', I ask. ''Even if I''m not the class president, in this school, it doesn''t matter if the class rep is or not. As long as those who get the highest score, the power belongs to them. Do you understand?'', he pointed at my face, ''Back to your seat now!'' I smile wryly and walk back to my seat. Looking at the true class president next to me, she frowns and mumbles something, ''Get high score? Just get a godsend! He thinks about who he is!'' I feel I am not the only victim of his bullying. The chubby girl on the other side is eating clumsily but she is caught red-handed. Then, all of her snacks are confiscated. It is not the end. He even takes game consoles and phones from other friends, stands on the podium, holds a microphone, and shouts: ''Can''t you all study more seriously? This class''s points pull down because of you. If it weren''t for my high score on the previous test, this class wouldn''t have any points. Next week, we will have a test. This time, we cannot be at the bottom rank! Understand?'' Everyone is angry but they have to put aside their inside feelings. They are swamped with their books and studying as if it is the last time. I see the class president. She uses a paper knife tearing at a picture of his face. I smirk. Suddenly, a great thought flashes through my mind. Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. ''Does the class president hate him?'', I ask her. ''Of course. He was originally the lowest performer in this school. After his father became the principal, his grades suddenly went up in a sudden way, and he got the first rank. No one could do anything with him. When I gave up the position of class president, he said he was bothering with school activities. He just wants to control all of us. We wish someone would make him disappear forever.'' I laugh and smooth my hair. So, it is the biggest wish of this class. I say, "It''s easy as a piece of cake. I can make your wishes come true." She looks at me, then raises her hand to cover my mouth and whispers, ''Hey, don''t say that. There is a student who poked him in the past and was expelled a few days later. He''s not easy to tease.'' I try to put her hand down, smile happily, and say, ''If you believe it, come to this address at 8:30 pm tonight.'' 8:30 pm... At the abandoned gymnasium near the school, I''m waiting in the middle of the basketball court. The door opens. They finally arrive. The number of students in the class is 40, there are 39 people present, and only the navel of the universe is absent. He has a lot of enemies. The class rep is standing in front of me right now. She''s not that strong, but she likes to act like a strong woman. She does not know that her legs are still shaking. What you said in the morning is true, right?'', she said. ''If you didn''t believe me, you wouldn''t have come here. I know what you want, it''s clear on your faces. I get to the point. 100,000 dollars to fulfill your wish'', I look at each of their faces. They are bewildered when hearing that price. ''$100,000 is so cheap for the value of your black cards. I assure you by next week, your wishes will come true, maybe even better'', I come to them, and offer my hand. They already had the answer but they are considering. I state, ''All of you want to live under his control? I am a new student but I cannot stand his despotic behavior. We have the same rival, don''t we? Trust me. I''ll make him disappear forever.'' Chapter 3: ''We agree. But¡­What if you can''t do it?'', they ask. ''$1,000,000 is for you. Do we deal, class rep?'', I sneer. They are surprised and a bit hesitant after hearing this. However, the negotiation is successful as expected. Their faces are happy, but they do not know I am happier than them. Thanks to them, everything goes according to plan. ''Do you have any questions?'', I ask. Everyone shakes their heads, but from the back, the chubby girl who was bullied in the morning gasps for air and asks, ''What do we need to do next?'' I say, ''You guys go on as usual. I will arrange everything''. The next morning, it is announced that the exam will happen this Friday. The class seems to be working hard today but the ''gentle'' navel of the universe. He feels strange because no one does anything wrong or rebels against him. Suddenly he sees me drawing something. He takes a step towards me. He snatches the paper away and tears it off in front of me. He shouts angrily, ¡åHey greenie! Why don''t you study? Don''t you see other people working hard? Do you want to drag the class down?¡ä ''How about you?'', I replied in a pensive voice ''Huh! Whether I study or not, I will always be first in the next class''. He smirks, ''I heard you got the lowest grades in the old school. Take care of yourself first.'' He walks away and cracks up. I just smile and continue to draw. Drawing is just my habit when thinking about a few things. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. After 3 days, he becomes more and more angry because there was nothing he could use to manifest his power. Finally, Friday is coming. The bell rings for the time to start the test. Everyone focuses on answering the question, the sound of pencils rubbing against the paper except for one person who is extremely bewildered. That person is the navel of the universe. He cannot think of anything to write down on the answer sheet. Watching him chew his pencil, I know my plan is going on smoothly. The exam time ends, everyone submit their papers happily except for him. Next Monday... A new list of top students has been published. My class is still at the bottom rank as usual. Although the test is very easy and almost every class gets 100 points, the reason is because of I and person-who-everyone-know. The class''s top 10 student list changes rapidly. His face is sombre and his hands grip the notebook. He stands up, and madly screams, ¡åThere''s definitely something wrong with this exam. Otherwise, why am I at the bottom of the class? Ma''am, I want to retake the exam. It can''t be like this. Surely they already knew the exam questions.¡ä The teacher standing on stage panicked and startled, ¡åIf you... have any questions about the score... You go to the exam office. As for who knows... the answer is that only the principal knows it. ¡ä The class rep smashes the table and says loudly to him, ''Only if you get first rank, the test is not cheating? You only know how to point us to show who you are. We score by our ability. You''re the one who says whether you study or not, you''ll be first. Why are you at the bottom? Do previous tests have something wrong?'' .... Other people start to suspect and whisper. That time, he cannot refute her. I can see his face is as white as a sheet. I''m definitely sure he cheated in the previous tests. If he continues to struggle with classmates, the truth will be revealed. He immediately grabs his bag, kicks the table and runs out. When he is out, I also stand up, and pretend to have a stomach ache to follow him. At the terrace, he is punching the wall. His face scowled. When he looks at the banister, he is a bit surprised. ''Get out! Do you come to mock me or else?'', He gets angry I chortle and cachinnate. I wipe the tears in my eyes. Walking towards him in the strong wind, I ask, ''Don''t you want to know why you are in the bottom rank? I can tell you.'' Chapter 4 ''Don''t you want to know why everything happened strangely?'' ''Ivy, you know the reason, don¡¯t you!?? Now! Tell me what they did! Right now!!'' He grabs me by the collar. I sigh, ''You grab my collar like this, how can I say?'' He unleashes my collar. I smirked and took a step forward, ¡®Tonight at 8:30 pm, come to the old gymnasium, I''ll tell you.'' He can''t help his anger because the answer he wants is not unveiled. He rushes towards me, but I dodge to the side, making him fall prone. I pull up a chair nearby, sit down, cross my legs, put my chin on my hand. I say, ¡®I won''t reveal it until tonight. For now, I can only tell you that I am the one who made the deal with them.¡¯ ¡®You''re in them?¡¯ he scowls. ¡®No. I just take the money and do what we contract¡¯ I shake my head. ¡®How much did they give you? I pay double that! I want to see them suffer a slow and agonizing death¡¯. He angrily cries and accuses his classmates, ¡®The first time I stepped into that class, I got low grades, they teased me. When they knew I¡¯m the principal''s child, they bullied me into exposing the exam answer sheet to them. They threatened me. Every day I had to feed them money. You know¡­that time I can¡¯t stand anymore¡­¡¯ Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. ¡®Do you want revenge? I''ll help you.¡¯ I smile and say while he is looking at me with choked eyes and full of doubt, ¡®I don''t need your money. As long as you show me your performance and create a marvelous play.¡¯ ¡®First, look through the paper and follow the instructions here. See you at 8:30 tonight!¡¯ I give him the paper and go back to the classroom. At 8:30 p.m, at the old gymnasium, the main door opens, and the navel of the universe finally arrives. He walks up to me with a very serious face, ¡®As agreed in the morning, tell me now.¡¯ ¡®Tell what?¡¯, I looked away idly. My ignorance causes his face to darken. He runs over and grabs me by the collar, and yells, ¡®You want to play with fire, Ivy? I could kill you here right now.'' He pulls out his paper knife from his jacket pocket and boasts it in front of me, ¡®Ivy, I have no patience. Say it now! Aren''t you afraid of me killing you? Your calm expression disgusts me! You know!¡¯ Yes! His emotion at the moment is the thing I desire to see. It makes me more excited than ever. I snigger, ¡®So let''s see... whether you can kill me or not¡¯. Suddenly, he looks around and freaks out. His hands tremble that the knife in his hands falls down on the floor. My collar is loosened. I step back and look at his fear. His face turned pale as if he saw ghosts. But it¡¯s nearly true. From the darkness, the eyes flashed like wild beasts watching their prey in front of them. Everything is so terrified that he didn''t move while they slowly approached, getting closer to the weapons in their hands. Getting closer and closer¡­ Chapter 5 In the shadows, 39 humans are like beasts and approach him step by step. They hold iron pens, compasses, and paper knives,... I cross my arms and smile at the boy who is trembling in the center. He looks around to find a way to escape but there is no way for him. He looks like a bird locked in a cage. I love feeling like this. I am never as satisfied as I am right now. He is buried among the beasts and knees at my feet to save him, ''Ivy, I... I know you''re a good person... can... can you..'' I know what he is going to say. Help him? The climax is coming, how can it stop? Never! I brush his hand away, see his face, and say, ''You''re the first to compliment me... But you know I can''t break my covenant.'' ''You, you betrayed the contract... Aren¡¯t you scared that I tell them your bad lies?¡¯, he shouts. I smirk and smooth my hair, ''Shoot! Say out loud, who will they trust? Well, tell you some really good news. His father... he''s not on a business trip... he''s dead.'' If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. He rolls his eyes in horror at me. Then, he trembles: ''Why... Why do you kill my father? Why?'' I refuse and state, ¡®I didn''t kill him. By the time I entered his father''s room to change his exam papers, he was already dead in the restroom. Pity for you!! Ha ha ha!'' ''I kill you!'' He grabs a paper-knife and tries to stab me. After a while, he thinks I am dead, but nothing happens to me. ''You can''t kill me. By the time we met, I had already swapped your knife into magic props.'' I take the knife in his hand, touch the point of the knife, and press it lightly. The knife is indented. He panics, holds his head, and screams desperately, ''Ah!'' I go up to the stage and say coldly, ''Alright! The game should end now! Y¡¯all know what to do now, right?'' My mission is over. At the moment, I am an audience to watch a movie. Oh, see him begging for his life from those who had been treated like animals. That end is his fate. His face is pale, he points at each person and threatens, ''Don''t... Don''t come here¡­'' ''Kill! '' One by one attacks him like bloodthirsty zombies... Chapter 6 The story is going on as I predicted. It makes my blood vessels go crazy. Every savage sound echoes through the room, watching the boy begging for forgiveness down there... As planned, I lean my hand against the banister. 39 people continue to vent their anger. They don¡¯t know that they¡¯re also slapping themselves in the face. Their nature is not much different. from each other. More than 10 minutes later, everyone is gasping all at once. They sat on the ground with pale faces and a few streaks of blood. The class leader approaches him and stretches her trembling hand to his nose. He is out of breath and big eyes staring with indignation. She is still horrified at what has happened. I see that feeling and laugh: The laugh echoes everywhere like a creepy sound that alarms all people. One of them asks, ¡®What are you laughing at??!! why you laugh?¡¯ My laughter grew louder and louder, unstoppable. It is the satisfaction of other people¡¯s unhappiness but they do not know, because they themselves do not believe what they are doing. They were like puppets pitifully. ¡®You have the bravery to do it but you fear to face what¡¯s going on. Cowardly! Y¡¯all are hypocrites.¡¯ Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. They are cranked up and yell, ''What did you say?¡ä ¡®Bastard, who do you say is a coward? ¡¯ They scream like they have iron hearts, which are actually all scrap iron. They even threw blood-stained weapons at me. All weapons cannot touch me, I say: ¡®Our contract is over. I gave you satisfaction with what you wanted. Now it¡¯s your turn.¡¯ ¡®You said... Say what? What¡¯s our turn?¡¯ ¡®Ah...¡¯ ¡®What are you hiding from us?¡¯, The class leader seems to be confused, asks again. ¡®You are so rash, our class leader. The first chapter is ending now.¡¯ Suddenly, some friends standing there suddenly collapsed, constantly vomiting blood incessantly. The rest around are scared away. Some are trying to get up and down every step of the call for help from those heartless people. ¡®Save... save me...! Save me... guys!!¡¯ A hand grabs the class president¡¯s leg, and she panics, repeatedly kicking that hand and head until that person dies. Each one is the same. And it was her turn. ¡®Ivy, please... please... help... help me! I don¡¯t... don¡¯t want to die... I...¡¯ ¡®You shouldn¡¯t have drunk that water... Ha ha ha ha.¡¯, I told. She realizes that before she came here, everyone had gathered at the bar. The class drank a lot of wine and juice. ¡¯Bastard... Your liar!¡ä She grinds her teeth. ¡¯I¡¯m just following my contract and the one who hates you. I don¡¯t want to do that! I¡¯m sad too. Ha ha ha ha....! There is more and more blood, staining the floor red. By the end, they all had fallen on the floor. The ending is more beautiful than I thought. But that¡¯s not the end... Chapter 7 The end is not the end. The ending is just a start for another¡­to make the ending more beautiful than ever¡­ Everything returns in the beginning. It¡¯s tranquil and cold. The surrounding space is filled with blood. I can smell it, which wakes my hidden craving up. I leaned against the banister, turning my head to look at those people. They harm each other time and time again for their high achievements, grades, status, and fame. However, they are just frogs in the well and never understand the sea and wait until the heavy rains drown them. Unfortunately, the navel of the universe fails in this game and so do all of them. ¡®Ha ha ha ha ha!!!¡¯ I laughed with pleasure. The laughter echoes around. Suddenly, I stopped laughing. I feel something is missing. ¡®Boring!¡¯, I sigh. In the distance, at the door to the second floor opposite, a woman in a black suit approaches me. She is horrified at what was going on. ¡®Ivy, this... This is... How? What happened here?¡¯ The woman runs over and grabs my shoulder and asks in a hurry. It turns out to be my dear teacher. I seem not to notice her with the devilish makeup like this. I feel there is something fun coming to me. I pretend to tear, my shoulders trembling as if I have witnessed this horrifying scene for the first time. ¡®Everyone...get out here and talk about the test¡­they deal with something... In the end¡­the deal failed¡­they conflict and quarrel¡­and it turned out like this... hu hu hu. I don¡¯t know what I will do next... Please help me... I am... very scared¡­¡¯ I look up at her with tears. It seems to me that she secretly has something in her mind but doesn¡¯t want to expose it too soon. ¡®I¡¯ll help you...¡¯, She pushes me away, pulls the trigger gun from inside her vest, and points it straight at me. From an angel¡¯s face to evil, like the people below, she is indeed a fool. ¡®...most sincerely!¡¯ She¡¯s been preparing for things for a long time, expecting the day will come, ¡®I don¡¯t intend to kill you either, but I¡¯ve changed my mind now.¡¯ A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. I widen my eyes in surprise and take a step back. She sees me as if I am about to run away, so she pulls the trigger but hears a click. She fumbles to check the gun. I look at her awkward expression with amusement. ¡®That gun isn¡¯t yours and there is no bullet in it!¡¯. I snigger and the teacher¡¯s face panics when I take the gun from my jacket pocket, ¡®This is your gun. I picked it up on the principal¡¯s desk while editing exam papers and copied the answer sheet.¡¯ I point the gun at her. The fake gun in her hand falls down. Everything turns the tables¡ªthe gentle trembling expression on her face was like the day when I met her. ¡®I¡¯m not in a hurry to finish this game. If you¡¯ve killed the principal, let¡¯s play a game. Whoever lives can go, whoever dies... You know the consequences, right?¡¯ She jeers and says, ¡®If you dare to play dirty, I will definitely not be benevolent to you!!¡¯ I just scoff at her, insert a bullet into the gun. My index finger gets on the trigger and puts the gun to my heart. When I pull the trigger, only a click sounded. I give her my gun and provoke, ¡®It¡¯s your turn!.¡¯ She quickly grabs it and also puts it to her heart, fearlessly shooting as if she knew this shot was safe. It¡¯s just a click. She smirks, and gives her gun to me, ¡®It¡¯s your turn.¡¯ Until the fourth shot, when it is my turn, she suddenly titters, ¡¯There are only two shots left!¡¯ I smirk, put the gun to my heart and pull the trigger. A thud sounded. I am holding my chest, soar to the floor with my blood. She cracks up, walks forward to me, and takes the gun, ¡®You love playing adult games. Ha ha ha ha! This is the end for you.¡¯ She kicks me once in the stomach and says, ¡®Before ending this game, I¡¯ll give you alms as fair. You shoot three shots and so am I!¡¯ She is arrogant and puts the gun to her heart. Pull the trigger! And a thud broke the other woman¡¯s joy. She rolls her eyes in surprise. Red blood seeped onto the vest and then spread. My mouth smiled. The plan is in my hand. I slowly sit up, as if nothing has happened, stand in front of her and cachinnate. She is horrified, trembling and says, ¡®You... Why are you.... not dead?¡¯ I take a bag of blood from the pocket that had been torn from the bullet, and take off the bulletproof vest inside, I grab her chin and say, ¡®This bulletproof vest is given by my American friend to fight those who backstab others.¡¯ I ignore her and walk towards the door. She shouted, ¡®You fool me... If I see you in the next life, I will definitely burn you to ashes, bastard...!¡¯ I hear and snicker: ¡¯Ha ha ha ha ha. So in this life I¡¯ll do first. Goodbye. Ha ha ha!!! Stepping outside, large gas tanks are placed around this gymnasium. I grab a matchbox, wipe the match and launch the little fire into them. The fire quickly burst into the flame. In an instant, the entire gymnasium deeps in flames mid the dark like fireworks in the sky. I look at my masterpiece with great satisfaction... End episode 1 - Chapter 8 The whole gymnasium was engulfed in flames after all. Fierce flames deep the people into it. For a while, a child''s hand grabbed my pants. She is about 7 years old, wearing pajamas, holding a teddy bear in her arms. I guess she lives nearby. She looks at me with her tearful eyes and sobs, ''Did you see... Where... my mom is? Tina misses mom... hu hu hu'' I stare at her, seeing that she assemblies the beloved teacher who died in it. I keep looking at it for a moment and then smile. ''Tina, I don''t know where she is. Maybe your mother went to buy something for you. No more crying, ok? I appease her. ¡®Do you see that light is big?¡¯ I point towards the burning compound, ¡®There is a legend that if someone stands in front of this great light, closes their eyes and prays, the wish will come true. Do you want to give it a try?¡¯ ''Of course!'', her eyes are bling bling as the star. ¡®Well, before we do that, we have to keep it a secret from each other about meeting today. Only I know you''re here. Okay?¡¯, I say. ''Yes!'' She happily hooks my pinky finger. ¡®Then now close your eyes, fold your hands and pray. After praying, go home and have a nice dream.¡¯ You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. I stand behind her, guide her, and quietly leave there. By the time she opens her eyes, she looks around her room and can''t see me. She is upset and think someone would take her home. I watch from afar, grin and go to school. Sneak in from the back door of the school. With the broken cameras and the unrepaired staircase locks for a long time, I walk towards the principal''s office, turn on the computer, delete all the data about me, copy the data he embezzled with his superiors, and leave the room. Next is the document room. It sounds fancy to say but it''s just a warehouse with a bunch of paper. Opening the door to that room, looking at my school application file. I swipe a match. When the fire pops up and burns the paper, I drop it into other documents, the fire spreads for a while and fast. I contentedly close the door and leave there. The next morning, the front page of the newspapers is uploaded with interesting events. From the burning old building that killed 40 people, to the mysterious death of the principal and his suicide letter, denouncing the illegal things he did to collect a huge bargain from the parents of students. There are many people involved in this incident, but for those insatiable greedy people, death is also worth it. A few months after that incident, in a city park, I am wearing a black hat and sitting in a chair with a cup of milk tea in my hand. The cute voice nearby sounded, "Dad, Tina dreamed of a very beautiful sister, and she showed me the huge light. She said I could wish anything I want in front of the light. You know what I wish?'' ''What''s it, Tina?'' ''Tina wishes you would always be by my side, never have any business trips anymore. If I see her again, I''ll wish for one more thing. I wish you would come back to me and we would live happily as before.'' Under the tree, I recognize that little girl, she is always innocent like that. She cannot realize her father is unable to smile as soon as she mentioned her mom. However, the result is too late to change anymore. Episode 2 - Chapter 1: Doubled Dealer The evil person is not as evil as the one who likes to bribe people¡¯s hearts and gain sympathy from others for the sake of self-interest... Today, I go to high school specializing in art and movies. I don¡¯t know why I¡¯m interested in this school, maybe I¡¯m tired of the tranquil feeling. The uniform and the timetable of things and the admission letter were delivered to my house last week. Getting into this school also costs a few deposits, but it is no problem, for it is only the money of those who died in the flame. This school is prestigious for training actors and actresses, although it is only a high school. It is heard that graduating from this school, the future is open and bright, and there are many contracts from famous film studios. Therefore, students also compete to enter this school, one is a lot of money, two is a lot and a lot of money, and three is a genius. The costume color also depends on the block: first-year A block in pink, block B in 2nd year in green, block C in 3rd year in white and especially block D in black with red stripes. It is rumored that many students have committed suicide suddenly by the time they reach fourth-year without any reasons. Strangely, the backyard of the school and the rooftop of each of these areas are forbidden. All latched with electronic locks. That was not a reason to make a scandal, but it made the school even more famous for the fact that their students committed suicide because they couldn¡¯t stand the pressure. Every year, the percentage of graduates who are famous in the showbiz world overwhelms the number of student deaths, so there is no problem. Those people also prepare a committed form for new students. After signing, I looked at the pink uniform and vomited. I don¡¯t like pink very much but I have to get dressed. The next morning, I drive my Bugatti car to school. Once in this school, it is impossible to ride a mediocre car unless talented or lucky students receive scholarships from the school. I drive to the parking lot. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! In the distance, some freshmen with hard lipstick on their faces were cursing at their classmates, talking about scholarships for the last exam, ¡®Why did you do that? You and I made a deal to help me win a scholarship. And you go help someone else, ruin my show.¡¯ ¡®I... I don¡¯t know what you say... I had no idea....¡¯ ¡¯Are you still pretending to be naive?¡¯, a girl yells and tugs back at the weak friend¡¯s hair. Her sullen eyes stares at the pitiful girl and says, ¡®Knowing that I shouldn¡¯t have believed you in the first place, lending money to pay off your two cloddish grandparents. It¡¯s time to pay back, right?¡¯ ¡®I... I¡¯m sorry... sorry hic hic¡¯ The pitiful friend cries like rain and constantly apologizes. Responding to those meaningless pleas was just sarcastic smiles from the lead, ¡®Now that I can¡¯t stand your phony anymore. You two hold her back right now.¡¯ The men who followed the lead hold the pitiful friend¡¯s hand, despite her friend¡¯s desperation to escape. She takes the sharp iron scissors from the jacket pocket, tossing them in front of her with interest. ¡®I¡¯ve got a game that makes you happy a little bit... This hair is beautiful, but I will design a new hairstyle for you. Ha ha ha¡¯ ¡®No.... don¡¯t do that... No... please... ¡¯ From one side, a lipstick was thrown at the noisy crowd, making the drama end quite early. From behind me, passing me, towards the others was a very gorgeous girl. I can¡¯t imagine this beauty because she¡¯s like an angel. The elegant gait, the long glossy black hair, the pleasant faint lavender scent, and the stern expression still do not lose her sharpness. ¡®Shut up for me.¡¯ She roars at the two girls and looks at the princess. She smirks contemptuously and warns the pitiful girl sitting on the floor. ¡°If you are a slave of the princess, there will be nothing I could do but release you to the princess.¡± The lead stands up and brushes her hands as if she touched something filthy and says, ¡¯You should keep her well, teach her well. Otherwise, there will be a day when people turn naughty dogs to bite others around! ha ha ha... The drama ends here. I stand and smooth my hair and think of some plans to do next. Episode 2_Chapter 2 There are only two people embracing each other comfortingly. One crying, one appeasing. ¡°Alice, thank you so much!¡± ¡°Leviz, I have to thank you. I would not have gotten trapped in the previous exam if you had not helped me. I won¡¯t forgive them if they hurt you.¡± Alice helps Leviz stand up, brushes the dust off his skirt, and wipes Leviz¡¯s tears with a very affectionate look. The two hand in hand walk to class. In the distance, I smirked and then headed back to class. My class is on the 8th floor, I run to the elevator that is about to close. A handsome looking friend sees me running and presses the open for me. ¡®Thanks.¡¯ It is just me and him in the elevator. I wonder that this time is definitely late. If anyone is outside of class, how can he be outside of class? Looking at his uniform, I realize that he has a gold tie clip with the word ¡°student council president¡±. His scent is wooden, delicate and faint. His face deserves to work as an actor because it can allure others with his eyes or smile. He says, ¡®Are you a new transfer student?¡¯ ¡®Yes. I¡¯m Ivy, it¡¯s a pleasure. You are¡­¡¯ ¡®I¡¯m Vincent, student council president.¡¯ He looks at me and then looks away. His expressions do not look very interested in me. When the elevator opens, two of us walk out. The class is at the end of this corridor. They¡¯re starting their voice lesson in the room. He comes to the nearby conference room. I follow the direction he pointed, it turns out to be a large auditorium. I open the door. Many people in the class look at me with weird eyes. Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. ¡®Well, you¡¯re a new student, aren¡¯t you? Come in.¡¯ The teacher is younger than I thought. I have seen her in some film magazines. She invites me and announces, ¡®This is a new student in our class, she¡¯s just moved in the middle of term. She ranked in the top 10 students who excelled in the entrance exam. Give her a round of applause. Could you introduce yourself to others?¡¯ ¡®Hi guys. My name is Ivy, nice to meet you. Looking forward to your help.¡¯, I force a smile at this welcome. Looking around, I see the characters participating in the parking lot. Before starting to learn, I see there is a student council president earlier and a few people are discussing something outside, then they open the auditorium door and enter the stage. Everyone in the room howl loudly as if they had never shouted before. ¡®Student council president!!¡¯ ¡®So handsome.¡¯ ¡®President Vincent is coming to my class!! Ah... so handsome.!!¡¯ ... They all howl loudly until the teacher clear her throat, but there was still a murmur all around. ¡¯¡¯Hi everyone, I¡¯m Vincent, student council president. Coming up, we have a European tour with the play ¡®Romeo and Juliet¡¯. We will select 50 people for this play. Everyone has the opportunity to participate and I will be one of the judges there. Hope everyone can participate. Please register in the main hall. Thank you.¡¯ After saying that, he walks out immediately. Some girls in class look at him as a beast and think of ways to make others defeat the casting. Because of this competition, the next few days, those people do makeup, spray perfume on their whole body, and huddle together in groups of three or seven who plan to do later to even get the role of the masses. It¡¯s all been chaotic over the past few days. The hall is crowded. I don¡¯t care too much and just see what they are doing next. As soon as I turned around, I coincidentally bump into Vincent. He is a little bit startled but also keeps his composure. ¡®I¡¯m so sorry!¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s okay.¡¯ Then he made a circuit into the lobby. I walk towards the stairs. Walking for a while, I hear the voice of someone there. It is girl''s voices. ¡®I need you. you know Alice can¡¯t get into the casting. I¡¯m going to transfer tonight.¡¯ ¡®We¡¯re taking a bit of money!¡¯ ¡®Don¡¯t you want a role in the upcoming play?¡¯. I go down and get closer and closer to that sound. The person¡¯s silhouette becomes more and more obvious. Oh, it turns out to be that person¡­ Episode 2_Chapter 3: ¡®I''m giving you a chance to play the lead role of the play!¡¯ ¡®We just want some wages. That price is too low for you. Now that we don''t accept it, we''re looking for someone else.¡¯ ¡®Alright. I accept. I''m going to transfer tonight.'' ''yes. We go first. Let''s go.¡¯ The negotiation ends with my witness. It all caught my eye clearly. I do not hold back much longer, and left. There is still a glimpse of my silhouette. That eyes were spiteful, indignant mixed with doubt, the streaks of tendons appearing on clenched hands as if to foreshadow a signal that that person would kill someone. But suddenly the secret person quickly turned back to the bewildered deer, no longer exuding a terrifying expression. The following days are terrifying for those who signed up for the contest. A person who is not seriously ill and admitted to the hospital with a cleft head and forehead. The number of participants is decreasing significantly, most of whom are in the top 10 of the best persons. Now it''s just me and Alice who haven''t been hurt. Today is the third rehearsal day, and it is such a stressful day of uncertainty over who would come to the hospital. All are doing the dance scene in the big hall. Alice plays Juliet, Vincent plays Romeo, I play the nanny who takes care of Juliet. They are standing in the middle of the stage rehearsing the scene where Romeo and Juliet first meet through the aquarium. The surrounding all turns into glittering waves as if they are all in water. When two people see each other through the glass of the aquarium, suddenly the screw falls into the aquarium. The play is paused, two of them look up at the ceiling. The spotlight bulb is falling. ''Alice, step back.'' Alice listens to Vincent''s voice and steps back, but her shoe suddenly breaks the heel, causing her to fall. The lamp follows the momentum of falling into the fish basin, the loud swirling sound shook everywhere, causing shards of glass to splash. The person who runs past me is Leviz. She is nervously running to Alice''s side. ¡®Alice, are you okay?¡¯ ¡®Le¡­Leviz¡­My leg hurts.¡¯ Beneath Alice''s feet are blooding, large patches of wounds lacerating the white flesh. Everyone surrounds Alice. Vincent approaches, holds Alice in his hands and takes her to the infirmary without speaking a word. Since the day Alice was injured, the whole school has withdrawn its application to participate. With only 40 people left, the play is irrevocable, and Juliet''s character must be re-elected. On the stage, only me, Tina and Leviz remain. Tina is the school''s notorious actress. She joins with the aim to restore the reputation that has been taken by Alice. She does not seem as scared. She trusts she would be cast in the play. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. ¡®We''ve chosen who will play Juliet. Congratulations Leviz, you have been chosen.¡¯ Leviz jumps happily. I wasn''t shocked by this result, on the contrary, Tina was shocked to the point of anger, and turns to grab Leviz''s collar. ¡®Bastard. You play me! Jerk! There''s no way the poorest kid in this school with bad talent could have the lead.¡¯ Leviz laughs coldly and knocks her hands. I just cross my arms and stroke my hairs to watch the play. Leviz brushes off the clothes that have just been touched by Tina. ¡®You say I''m poor? So you haven¡¯t yet looked at the stock prices of your and Alice''s house. It was all in my hands. I''m the richest person in this school now, do you understand?¡¯ Leviz is now like a madman, squeezing Tina''s chin so that she could clearly see the anger in those eyes. She pats Tina''s face slightly, laughs and raises her eyebrows triumphantly. ''How you treated me back in the day, I''ll treat you like that.'' Lu Shuo stands up and smiles at me like a close friend. I am the most disgusted of this kind of person but interested. I walk into the dressing room. I see Leviz coming in, closing the door, sitting down on the nearby sofa like a queen, looking at me with half an eye. ¡®I didn''t expect you to help me get those shares. It was also thanks to you that I am no longer poor. Thanks.¡¯ She swipes the fire, smokes a cigarette, says, ''Ivy, how do you want me to return the favor?'' I think for a moment, and stare at her, ¡®Let me see! You negotiated with me a fair amount of money the other day. Seeing your crying pitifully, I agreed to help. Now I want to... your protagonist.'' She slams her face and throws the cigarette in her hand to the ground, stomps on it. I still look at her with a smile as she smiles at me on the stage. So she gets even angrier, stands up and approaches me, pointing to my face. ''This lead role, I don''t allow anyone to disturb my plan. It¡¯s mine.'' ¡®So you''re not afraid of being betrayed? I can make your stock price go up and down. I don''t like those who take advantage of my benevolence. Because you made fun of me, I forgive you. It''s not because you have money.¡¯ I walk out of the room, open my phone to see messages on messenger. It turned out to be a message on a group chat. Sister Tina: What''s wrong? My acting is cool right? Give me a lot of applause. Vincent: Not too bad but not too cool. Sister Tina: Huh, you only have a beautiful face, do not compare it to my ability.... Alice: What''s wrong Ivy? Is everything okay? I send a recording of the conversation between me and Leviz to them and say, ¡®Everything is following our plan. Let¡¯s do as per the plan.¡¯ The message is sent. I smirk. The fun will start now...
