Hiro rushed to the scene, determined to prevent any further harm, and charged toward the student who was about to pull Zeeha's skirt.
"AHHHHHHHRGH!" The student, caught off guard by Hiro's kick, fell unconscious.
The other four students prepared to fight Hiro, while Kyren helped Zeeha to her feet and attempted to calm her.
"You guys are disgusting animals. Are you really planning to r**e our GA? Have you lost your minds?" Hiro seethed, brandishing his sword in readiness for combat.
"He...he... Look at that girl. How did she become the section leader? She can't even defend herself," one of the students retorted.
Meanwhile, Kyren tried to calm down Zeeha by gently hugging her. "It's alright, Ms. 16. Stop crying. We need to deal with these guys first."
"Please get my bag, I have important thing in their," Zeeha suggested.
"Hiro get that bag." Kyren pointing at Zeeha's bag on the ground, after Hiro rushed and throw the bag to them, Zeeha immediately looking for something on her bag.
Zeeha stifled her tears. "I'm okay now, but can we deal with them?" she inquired.
Before Kyren could respond, they were interrupted by a sudden wind strike.
"So you're the one who struck Hiro before," Kyren accused as he charged in with his newly acquired weapon, a double dagger. He swiftly cut the arms of one of the students, rendering him unable to hold his weapon properly due to bleeding, reducing the odds to a three-versus-three confrontation.
"Let's go, Kyren. I'll show you what I trained for," Hiro said, charging in towards the three enemies.
"Are these humans crazy? Do they think they can win against our roots?" one student exclaimed, casting a barrage of sharp stones while the other manipulated the wind to make it deadlier.
"Die, motherfuckers!" The student released the sharp stones at high speed. Kyren and Hiro prepared to dodge, but Zeeha stepped in front of them and sliced the stones propelled by wind.
"Woah! Ms. 16th, that's what we're talking about," Hiro cheered.
Meanwhile, Kyren noticed Zeeha's sword sparking and emitting a mini electricity.
"Where did you get a root enhancement weapon, Zeeha?" Kyren inquired.
"I'll tell you about it later. Like you said, let's end this first," Zeeha's fierce gaze focused on the three enemies.
However, the three enemies had already given up and fled, leaving their comrade lying on the ground.
...
"So what should we do with these two?" Hiro pointed at the two they had beaten up, his brow furrowed in concern.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Kyren glanced at the unconscious students, his expression thoughtful. "I think we can report them to the officials about what happened to Zeeha. They'll likely get kicked out."
"No, let's leave them here. It won't work; they don't care about our section," Zeeha interjected, her voice tinged with frustration and exhaustion.
"Well, we had considered that too," Hiro admitted, nodding in agreement with Zeeha's assessment.
After they left.
"So, what do we do now?" Kyren asked, glancing at Hiro, hinting at something.
Zeeha sighed heavily, running a hand through her disheveled hair. "I'm not sure, guys. I can't go back to the dormitory..."
"Why not?" Kyren inquired, still hoping Hiro wouldn't reveal too much to Zeeha.
"My roommates are the ones who betrayed me, they stole this bag, they set me up here, and they switched sides to join Calir," Zeeha explained, her voice tinged with bitterness.
"Maybe you should team up with us?" Hiro suggested, his eyes reflecting genuine concern for Zeeha's well-being.
Zeeha hesitated for a moment, weighing her options. "Thank you for helping, but I don't really trust you yet," she admitted, her gaze shifting between Kyren and Hiro.
"Then where are you going now? You don't have a place in the dormitory like us," Hiro pointed out, a note of sympathy in his voice.
"What? Then where are you guys sleeping?" Zeeha asked, her curiosity piqued as she looked between Kyren and Hiro,
"We have a secret place," Hiro whispered conspiratorially, casting a quick glance around to ensure no one was listening in on their conversation. "We've built a hidden room there." He subtly gestured in its direction, a secretive gleam in his eyes.
Kyren observed Hiro's expression, though felt a bit disappointed that Hiro had revealed so much, but still feel mixture of admiration and amusement on how pure Hiro's heart, he unconditionally wanted to help anyone who needs, like he have done to him.
"Over there? I didn't see anything," Zeeha remarked, her tone laced with curiosity.
"We intended to keep it hidden. That's why you can't see it. Maybe we should go there," Hiro suggested, his eyes flicking to Zeeha as he awaited her response.
Zeeha leaned forward. "Are you okay with that? If not, I won't bother," she said, directing her question towards Kyren.
Kyren considered Zeeha's question carefully before nodding in agreement. "Well, I don't trust you either, but Hiro has revealed so much. Let's work on building our trust," he replied, offering Zeeha a small smile of reassurance.
Suddenly, Hiro's expression shifted to one of realization, and he clapped a hand to his forehead in dismay. "Oh no, Kyren! I'm sorry! I let it slip!" he exclaimed, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Zeeha couldn't help but chuckle at the exchange between Kyren and Hiro. "Haha, you guys are funny," she remarked, a genuine smile gracing her lips as she looked between them.
"Let's go," Kyren said, accepting Zeeha's offer with a nod of determination.
...
After they had arrived at their hideout, Zeeha marveled at their humble hut. "Wow, guys, you built this?" she exclaimed, taking in the surroundings of their makeshift hut.
"Well, it's enough for the two of us, but I suppose we'll need to renovate it for the newcomer," Hiro remarked, finally placing his sword on the makeshift rack they had designed.
"I see. So, what can I help you guys with to renovate it?" Zeeha offered, eager to lend a hand.
"Just rest for a bit. We can handle it," Kyren reassured her, already beginning to undo the clasps of his uniform in preparation for the carpentry work ahead.
"Yeah, do you have any suggestions on how you'd like your room to look?" Hiro inquired, following Kyren's lead and starting to strip off his uniform.
"It's all up to you guys. I'm okay with anything, even without a renovation," Zeeha replied, a hint of gratitude in her voice. "Ohh, maybe I'll make a tea while you guys are working." grabbing her bag and picking some herbs.
With their plan set, Kyren and Hiro sprang into action. Kyren gathered materials while Hiro took charge of building. Their teamwork was seamless, like they were old pros. Bit by bit, their basic shelter blossomed into a snug home. They even crafted a bathroom with a tap linked to the nearby river for privacy.
While Zeeha gathering a bunch of tree branches to make a bonfire, and boil a water.
After the final touch, the hut felt like a whole new place. It was warm and inviting, now with a separate bedroom and a spacious living room that could accommodate up to four people for a cozy night's sleep.
