"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? WAS TORTURING ME FOR THREE YEARS NOT ENOUGH?" says a voice filled with more anger than fear. "WHO ARE YOU?" replied Airen, looking confused. The girl, with long black hair and silver eyes, was in a black-colored coat just like Airen.
"WHAT DID I EXPECT FROM AN ASSHOLE WHO WOULD EVEN KILL HIS OWN PARENTS JUST FOR A TANTRUM?" Airen losing his composure.
Without warning, Airen lunged at the blind girl, aiming a swift punch towards her. However, she effortlessly dodged his attack, relying on her heightened senses. The blind girl countered Airen's strikes with grace, her movements fluid and precise. Airen struggled to land a hit, frustrated by the seemingly supernatural awareness of his opponent.
"I'm not so easy to bully now, am I, Airen Altrof?" says Aliena as she punches Airen's face repeatedly with fierce punches and kicks, which seemed to be the attacks of a trained mixed martial artist. The auditorium became a battleground, with the crowd now fixated on the unfolding spectacle. Airen retaliated with a kick directed at her left kidney, her movement being interrupted. Airen finally landed a punch on her face so severe that it resulted in Airen breaking some of his own fingers.
After letting out his anger and Airen taking a better look at his bleeding opponent, he is reminded of his days as a middle school thug, flashing his parents' money and influence to do whatever he wanted and being let go with only a slight hit on the wrist. This girl was also a victim of Airen's bullying. Airen, realizing what he had done after eyes of fear and judgment once again cloud him.

"NOT EVEN HIS FIRST DAY, AND ALREADY HITTING STUDENTS. WE SHOULD REPORT HIM," "WHAT TYPE OF BARBARIAN DID THEY LET IN?" "BETTER TO STAY CLEAR OF HIM" comments similar to these circulating among the crowd.
"AH, SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER YEAR FOR DELINQUENTS," an old and relaxed voice echoes from among the crowd. The students move out of the way of an approaching figure. The man has a tall and erect body, looming over the bleeding girl. The girl, with anger in her eyes and surging pain from the broken nose, crunches her teeth as if she is experienced with such injuries. The man takes a knee and with a swift movement, realigns the broken bone. The girl grimaces. The man offers her a shot glass bottle containing a transparent liquid. She takes it and gulps it down in a single swig, making a disgusted face. The man stands and moves toward Airen. The whole atmosphere changes and becomes dense as if to suffocate Airen. The man's hand lifts upwards. Airen jumps backward, and after collecting himself, he notices he didn't move at all. The hand takes hold of Airen's shoulder.
"YOU SHOULD NOT MISBEHAVE. IT MAKES THE ONE WHO TOOK YOUR BACK LOOK BAD. NEXT TIME I WON'T BE SO FORGIVING. NOW, FUCK OFF," the man whispered in Airen's ear as if warning him. Airen moves backward slowly, and the man turns toward Aliena, asking her if she can stand. The girl, having healed due to the mysterious liquids, stands and looks toward Airen, mumbling, "I'll kill you next time, I swear." The man smiles gently and tells the girl in her ear, "Be glad I was hanging around, or you would have gotten a lot more. Be careful. Don't pick fights you can't win, idiot." The girl responds in a rude manner, asking, "Who are you?" "I am but a simple school nurse," the man says.
While these dialogues are being exchanged, the students are slowly leaving the auditorium. Airen, being a little startled to have a person from his past appear here, is being approached by an angry Zeckry. "What the hell is wrong with you? How can you fight on your first day?" "I'm sorry. I lost my composure." As Airen says this, he thinks, "I can't believe I let her words get to me. I have heard a lot worse. Maybe her face annoyed me."
