Although neither Bernard nor Sophia was there at the moment, but they still had Sonia on their side increasing their confidence, it was needless to say Sonia was one of the most popular students among the first-year students, not just that after that day the first-year had fought the second years she had become even more popular than before after displaying she could defeat a rank 5 second year student.

This was not something anyone could achieve even among the first years, this was a feat only a selected few among the first years could achieve in the entire academy, as they walked inside the training hall room and approached the group of first years students who seemed to be having fun as they laughed and held beers in their hands.

When the students saw Emelia they were about to hide their beers, however, as they took a closer look at her military bracelet they couldn't help but slightly hiss, for a moment they thought a high-ranking student had caught them, it was against the rules of the academy to drink anything that had to do with alcohol within the academy and anyone who was found doing so would be punished.

So when they saw Emelia the first thought that came into their mind was a high-ranking student had caught them, but then after seeing her bracelet not only were they relieved they also couldn't care less about her being there and simply continued what they were doing, after all, what could rank 2 trash do to a rank 4 and a bunch of rank 3? instead of them being afraid of her, it would be the other way round.

"Hey, guys."Emelia walked up to them, and only kept a safe distance from them and looked at them with a small smile on her face, however, after she said that she noticed after they looked at her bracelet they simply ignored her and kept doing what they doing before, Emelia slightly gritted her teeth it was obvious they were ignoring her on purpose.

It wasn't like her voice was too low to be heard in the first, nevertheless, she didn't start becoming angry even though she had Sonia on their side that didn't mean she could do anything she wanted, so it was best she try to talk out things with them first before doing anything that would make them turn hostile.

"Hello."She said once again.

"What do you want?"This time the boys finally turned to look at her, with a slight annoyance on their faces but only one who seemed like he was their leader opened his mouth to talk to her. When Emelia heard what he said, her eyebrow couldn't help but twitch slightly as she looked at him. She took a deep breath before saying anything, she didn't want to drop the pretense immediately.

Of course, she knew better than anyone that they were not in talking terms or were even close, so even though at the end they would turn hostile she didn't want to be the one to take the initiative first, so she simply smiled as she ignored the rotten attitude and rudeness in his voice.

She had seen a fair amount of bad treatment and bullies even from where she came from and had endured a lot so just this bit wasn't enough to make her lose her cool, as she looked at him, Emelia responded, "We would like to ask a couple of question, just wondering if you had seen a student called Bernard Cat?"

After she said that, she waited for them to reply, however, the group couldn't help but look at each other before bursting out into a hysterical laughter.

Just as they were laughing their asses off that was when they spotted someone familiar, when they did a look of mockery could be seen in their eyes as they saw Ryan, if they were, to be honest, although the chick was annoying she wasn't an eyesore, but seeing Ryan was more of an eyesore than rank 1 students refusing to give out their credit points.

"Oi, isn't that the fucker? Looks like he is still going around acting all friendly and innocent as if he hadn't done shit, Oi Ryan haven't you told them yet what you did, or should I start spilling the beans? No wonder I knew something wasn't right when this chick came to us."One of the boys said as he looked at Ryan who was at the back mockingly.

"To be honest, I am quite surprised you haven't been k****d yet, you know what I mean. I guess the second years must be in their generous mood to not bother about you, lord Daniel must still be celebrating his advancement, well it is only a matter of time before something happens to you, so till then enjoy your little life as much as you want."

The group look at each other and began to laugh once more, if they were, to be honest, Ryan was the biggest fool they had ever seen in their lives, not only was he still parading as if he hadn't done anything, but they also surprised he hadn't run away from the academy yet for his dear life, "Well, I just knew you wouldn't you run, after all, it is not like you have anywhere to run to in the first place.

"I guess you must be feeling like a chad trying to act as if your time isn't running out. Hey, chick, let me give you some simple advice on this motherfucker over there, not only is he selfish he will also do anything just to save his ass, I can't believe you still hang out with such a loser, If i did what he did, I wouldn't have been able to live with myself."

"If I were you, I would just go back to your room and take a nice rest and forget about ever seeing Bernard Cat ever again, that's the best advice I can give to you at the moment, same goes for that bitch called Sophia as well."The leader continued by letting out a laugh while gulping down the beer in his hand with a scornful look on his face, as he looked at Ryan deep in the eyes.

When Ryan heard what he said he couldn't help but lowered his head and clench his fist tightly, he could tell those bunch of fuckers were intentionally doing this, for Emelia to hate him, however, he couldn't say anything not like he had anything to his defense in the first place so he simply just kept quiet.

"Anyways I and my boys are currently in a good mood, so fuck off and just in case you still don't take my advice go fuck yourselves."When she heard what he said, black lines couldn't help but appear on her forehead, nevertheless, she didn't say anything although she was annoyed it was not like there was anything she could do about it.

Even though she would have loved to pick a fight with him and wipe his ass on the floor, she knew she couldn't the dude was a rank 4 symbiote user, it would simply be asking for trouble, and what's more just the students in his side could easily take care of her even if he decided not to participate, with this she had no choice but to turn around and head back it would only be a waste of time if she continued talking.

As she walked away from them, she could hear their loud voices as they laughed their asses off, Emelia couldn't help but clench her fist however, she still ignored them, it wasn't worth fighting them, especially when the odds were against her. When she walked close to Ryan, she couldn't help but look at him and notice he was looking at the floor with his fist clenched tightly.

Even though she was curious she felt slightly bad for him she suspected he might have done something very bad just from the way they were throwing insults at him, but at the same time, she didn't know if they were lying or simply telling the truth, these were once people who he had hanged out with and which he also called them friends.

Just as she was about to tell Sonia and Ryan for them to continue what they were doing, she noticed Sonia was now glaring at the boys

"Sonia?" Emelia couldn't help but call out her name, however, she seemed to have completely ignored her and kept looking at the group of boys.

Although Emelia had no idea about what Sonia was thinking, she had once seen that look on her face before and it was when she fought that second-year rank 5 students back then in the assembly ground.

At this moment Sonia began to walk towards the group of boys, as she did she stretched out her hands making a black spear appear in her hand out of nowhere, "Well boys, it seemed you people know something that we don't, I would like to request you tell us what you know or get your asses woop by me."Sonia said as she looked at them, pointing the spear at the leader.historical

"Be fast, I don't want to waste any of our time."
