All of Mia’s classmates had a clear view of her as she began to cry. They showed some guilt about everything that happened but they didn’t get much of a chance to really wallow in their regrets as Klaws suddenly jumped at Zignus only for him to be tossed aside like a cheap doll from a small slap from the sadistic man.
“Leave him alone!” Mia half-shouted, half-sobbed to the man as she tried to free herself from the man.
“Shut it as I am not done yet!” Zignus said as he exerted more pressure on his surroundings with his mana to make sure everyone would stay in place unlike what just happened with Klaws.
This, strangely enough, helped Mia calm down a little. She was truly hurt emotionally but the natural instinct of wanting to live flared once again as Zignus put on his show of strength.
As she calmed down, she began to think of any way they might be able to survive this. On their own it quickly became apparent that it was an impossibility but there was still a sliver of hope. At this point someone from the academy must have noticed what was happening so someone who could at least help them flee should be coming.
“As the worst one here, I will start with you.” Zignus said as he approached Narissa. Once he was about 3 meters from her, he pointed his finger at her and a chunk of her right shoulder exploded.
Narissa suddenly fell down to the ground, screaming in pain as she tried to access what just happened to her. She had a hole on her shoulder that was going to be bleeding a lot if she didn’t do something.

“I bet you are liking it, don’t you? It was her that ultimately decided that you should die so they could live.” Zignus said, sadistically, to Mia.
Mia couldn't really tell what she was feeling . A primal part of her was somewhat happy that some form of karma was coming to Narissa as she tried to sacrifice her but deep down she knew that it wasn’t really her fault or the rest of the class for that matter.
“Not everyone is a sick bastard who likes to see children bleeding!” Mia said, suddenly channeling her older self more than normal.
“What did you say!?” Zignus asked angrily as he held Mia more tightly.
“Sorry! I meant that not everyone is a sickly sadistic perverted pedophile who can only get hard in front of small children being hurt.” Mia said again, this time in a more confrontational tone. At this point everyone from her class knew something was up even if they couldn’t really do anything about it.
“SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN!” Zignus shouted as he slammed Mia on the ground, clearly breaking some bones and causing internal damage. Mia suddenly had blood leaving her mouth, but she didn’t stop.
“You are just a big scary bully who didn’t want to do bad stuff in front of my daddy or my master. I bet you like to play with worms.” Mia said as her tone suddenly changed again, now to more of that of a child.
“YOU…!”
“The deaf bully didn’t find his favorite stick and now he is beating little kids because he knows the adults would just fold him like cheap paper if he tried something with them.”
“I WILl KILL YOU! YOU…”
“DO IT THEN! I WILL HAUNT YOU THE MOMENT YOU DO!” MIa suddenly shouted like her old self again. “I DON’T WANT TO DIE!” She shouted like a kid again. “BUT I WILL DIE WITH MY HEAD HIGH AS I WILL NOT ABANDON MY FRIENDS!” She shouted like her old self. “EVEN IF THEY ARE DUMB! BUT THEY ARE MY DUMB FRIENDS AND I LIKE THEM!” She shouted like a kid.
“As you wish.” Zignus said with a cold fury as he stabbed Mia in the chest with his own hand, making blood fly everywhere.
