Chapter 303: They want a name
Elliana stood in the middle of the field.
If she had thought it would be some normal battle, she was so wrong.
Her hands turned sweaty as she looked around at the bleachers that were filled with the students of the fifth grade and above.
Her heart drummed in her chest as she looked at Nathaniel. She didn’t want to do it. It was clearly written on her face.
"I don’t think this is a good idea," The dean said when he saw the uneasiness on her face.
"It’s definitely a good idea, sir. She will learn how to face good battles in the future like this. Everyone here is a learner. No one is going to judge her even if she falls in the first blow," one of the teachers said.
Nathaniel didn’t say anything. It was clearly bullying. They wanted to humiliate her because of how she challenged a teacher for the duo.
He could’ve intervened, but he didn’t want to. This was something she would’ve had to go alone. He won’t be here to help her every time. She needs to show everyone their rightful place.
"Nathaniel," Elliana looked at him with hope, and Nathaniel sighed.
"You want to stop hurting people around you and learn new things, right?" Nathaniel cupped her cheeks, his heart melting when she nodded softly.
"Then this is the school for you. But things won’t be easy, princess. You will have to pave the way yourself. You have to show them your worth or people will keep questioning your strength time after time. That’s why it’s important to be done in front of everyone," Nathaniel reasoned, and Elliana gulped.
