Chapter 2

Entering Laplace Academy, Yi Xiao walked through its large marble gates while her suitcase rolled behind her.

Glancing ahead, she would lock eyes with a senior. The school senior had dark blue hair, a cool dark blue coat, and dark shades over her face.

She approached Yi Xiao with a calm smile. An air of slight tension filled the air as the two women stared at one another.

“And who might you be?”

"Yi Xiao of the freshman class."

"Yi Xiao... You've arrived at the academy, a lot earlier than you were supposed to. Two weeks early. But I can't turn you back so here's the keys to your dorm room. Wait here.”

The senior walked into an office for a brief moment before coming out and throwing Yi Xiao her dorm keys.

"The dorms are on the right side of this main road and if you need anything, you can look for me. I'll be in the front here."

The senior commented with a cool smile before disappearing into the distant school halls without a trace.

Yi Xiao nodded, taking note of the fact that the senior could be relied upon before making her way down the academy road on the right.

Laplace Academy was a really beautiful place. A fact that could be seen in the fact that it was a pretty common relaxation spot for the locals of Seoul.

With the soft wind breezing against you, a calm and quiet school ambiance, and the beautifully trimmed landscapes adorned with various foreign and domestic flowers, and shrubbery, it was no wonder why the academy was such a popular destination.

Throughout a short fifteen-minute walk, Yi Xiao nodded in approval of the beauty of the academy.

‘My brother was right. Laplace Academy was truly beautiful.’

Yi Xiao commented to herself before finally arriving at the female dorms. A giant multi-story skyscraper stood right in front of her and she stared at it with great confusion.

“How many people is that meant to fit?”

Yi Xiao commented to herself before entering the dorms. The cool air of the lobby air-conditioning spat wind right in her face as she let out a chuckle.

‘I haven’t gotten that senior's name. So the next time we met. I’ll have to ask her for it.’

“Are you a new student here?”

Yi Xiao turned her attention around the lobby. But to no avail. She could not find the voice.

"Hey. Down here."

A disgruntled girl sighed.

“I’m not even that short.”

Yi Xiao stared down at the silver-haired “loli” girl. With a look of confusion in her eyes, she blinked again and again.

‘How can someone be so short?’

"Hey. Don't give me that look. I'm a Sophomore at Laplus Academy."

“With how short you were, I was surprised you weren’t a dog toy.”

"I'm not a dog toy! I'm a full-grown adult!"

"Shorty, you are not a fully grown adult though.”

The girl stared back at her.

“You’re really rude.”

The girl crossed her arms.

“We just have different priorities in life. I don’t know about yours but I know mine perfectly well.”

The girl nodded.

“But you don’t have to be like that…”

She muttered under her breath.

Yi Xiao left the lobby and made her way up through the elevator. Arriving at the right floor, she appeared at the door to her dorm room.

With the key in hand, Yi Xiao unlocked the door. Unlocking the door, she left her suitcase standing by the door before leaping into bed. Surrender her consciousness and exhaustion to the bed until she had fallen asleep...

[The Next Day]

With Yi Xiao soundly asleep, it would only be a matter of time until the early evening turned to the next day with the radiant glare of the sun flying overhead.

Peeking through the windows of the innocent female dorm room, the light had made its way into Yi Xiao's world. With light flashing over her eyes, Yi Xiao struggled awake as she squinted her eyes open and then closed.

The morning was truly a bitch...

Yi Xiao turned her face over to the other side of the bed. Seeking to continue her beauty sleep this time without the sun shining on her face. Turning around, she tried to sleep. But she couldn't. And she tried some more. But she couldn't.

After a certain point, it was a lost cause.

'If I am awake then there's no point in trying to go back to sleep.'

Yi Xiao rose from the bed and inched her way to the restroom. Showering, brushing her teeth and stretching before fitting a new set of clothing upon herself. Reaching into her suitcase, she fitted on a black polo shirt, and a medium-length red skirt which was more than enough for a casual tuesday.

While searching around in her suitcase, she scrunched around for her wallet. It was not there. Under her old clothes, it wasn't there. Under her wooden sword, yeah it wasn't also there. Under her lotions, documents, the rest of her clothes...

Her wallet was nowhere to be found...

Yi Xiao facepalmed before bitterly biting her lower lips with her teeth.

"The hell do I do now..."

Yi Xiao laid back in bed stumped and frustrated. She exhaled before thinking back to the words of her wise brother...

[Flashback]

"Let's say that I don't have any money, what should I do?"

The young Yi Xiao of the past asked as she looked up to her older brother. He turned to her with a smile.

"With me at your side, you will never run out of it. But let's say for whatever reason I'm not by your side and you have to make money..."

He held up his hand to his chin.

"Is it even a good idea to tell you about it?"

"Just tell me."

The young Yi Xiao puffed up her cheeks.

"Alright. It's something that I did in the past but not anymore. But when those bad guys were coming to harass us, I beat the hell out of them. I broke their arms, their legs, and their nuts. And I didn't just do that out of a righteous sense of vengeance but what I also did was rob them dry."

"Isn't stealing meant to be a bad thing?"

"It's alright if they threw the first punch since you are acting in self-defense. But if a villain ever comes up to you, don't give them any mercy. Beat them, and take everything they own."

Yi Xiao's brother smiled before raising his fist to the sky.

"But I wish there would be a day that these people wouldn't even bother us. A day where we wouldn't even have to rob them for money. A day where we could just be a regular family."

The innocent Yi Xiao stared into his deep blue eyes.

"Aren't we already family?"

[End of Flashback[

"Please forgive me for what I am going to do. But all of what I am going to do is for you..."

Yi Xiao placed her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed. Before opening up her eyes again, her crimson ki surged up and enveloped her body.

"This is my form of justice."
