Chapter 25: Let The Tournament Begin
A short while after the bully squad disappeared into the amphitheatre, I spotted Lucy, dressed in her academy uniform.
She carefully marched towards the arena, arms folded, keeping her distance from everyone else around her
I made my way toward her, trying not to collide with anyone in the crowd.
Then, I noticed something strange.
Everyone who walked past her cast weird glances her way, like she was some kind of unwanted pest. The closer I got to her, the more it became apparent, and soon enough, I began to hear whispers.
"Isn’t that the darkblood girl?"
"That’s her alright."
"What is she doing here?"
"She doesn’t belong here."
"Should’ve died with the rest of her house..."
Their words began to infuriate me, and I swore to hit the next person who mentioned something bad about her.
"Where have you been?"
