e the abuse, the beleaguered structure finally fell apart. Massive cracks spread out from the epicenter of the enormous crater that the Behemoth had carved into it. There was a loud groan, and then the bridge suddenly snapped.

"GUOOOOOH!"

"Waaaaaaah!"

The Behemoth desperately clawed at the falling pieces of rubble, struggling to find a place to grab onto. There was some sweet irony in realizing that the Behemoth had effectively killed itself. By rampaging mindlessly and not showing restraint in its assault, it destroyed its own footing and caused itself to fall to its death.

Unfortunately, the Behemoth was not alone. Even as it plummeted into the abyss, accompanied by falling rubble and debris, I descended with it.

..or not.

I clutched onto the edge of the crumbling bridge, having kicked off a piece of debris to hurl myself upward. I hauled myself upward, determined not to fall with the Behemoth. Like hell I would die in a place like this!

Crack!

I watched numbly, cold horror spreading across my body as the edge of the bridge finally gave way. Even the ground which the bridge was built into had shattered, and the whole thing collapsed into the abyss. Despite finding a handhold, I ended up crashing back into the bottomless depths, still gripping the piece of rock that I thought was my salvation.

"Fei Wu!!!!"

I looked up at the voice. Zhu Jiao was yelling my name and lunging forward, only for Ban Zhang and Bai Ning Xue to grab him and pull him back. Most of my other classmates were horrified, unable to believe what they were seeing. Only Qi Fu Ren alone smirked in the back, a smug smile spreading across that bloody ugly mug of his.

That bastard!

Teacher Jiao's expression was blank, as if he couldn't decide if he was in a nightmare. Xiao Zhang's expression was tainted by both regret and resignation. He slowly shook his head and then turned away.

Bai Ning Xue's face was a cold mask, as if she didn't care if I died or not. After all, I was not her beloved Zhu Jiao. Nearby, Tang Qi Hong had fallen to her knees, tears trailing out of her eyes, as she watched me plummet in horror. I wondered why. I was never close to her to begin with. Not that it mattered. I was still being yanked away from my classmates by the sheer force of gravity. Unfortunately, it seemed that I had yet to understand the..uh, gravity of my situation.

I really ought to learn how to throw my weight around. If I did, Qi Fu Ren would never have dared to pull a murderous stunt like this off.

Unfortunately, that would remain a what-if, and the resulting regret weighed down upon my shoulders forever.

And just like that, I fell into the abyss, the light above gradually dimming and fading away as the distance between me and my classmates widened abysmally.
