Kanna Tomosuke woke up in the darkness, her hands and feet were tied.

Her body was curled up on the ground, her whole body was in pain.

Half of her hair was scattered on the ground.

Through the thin strands of hair, she could almost smell the dust on the ground.

… … Where am I … …?

What happened?

Kanna Tomosuke stared at the dark air in front of her, her head was still in a daze, the back of her head felt like it was hit by a heavy object.

Before this … … what was I doing?

She frowned, trying to recall.

After a while, such a scene flashed through her mind.

"Xiao Hong, I'll see you in the classroom!" She waved her hand, the morning sun dancing on her fingertips.

"Okay, see you in the classroom."

Little Hong also waved his hand at him. The corners of his mouth, which had always been calm, curled up slightly, and his clear eyes seemed to be tinged with a trace of a smile.

— — Oh right!

I should be in school right now!

Kanna Tomosuke finally reacted.

Right now, I should be sitting in the classroom … … When I separated from Xiao Hong, I should have entered the locker room.

Locker room … … locker room … … what happened there?

Her head hurt.

Kanna Tomosuke frowned.

She couldn't remember what happened after she entered the locker room.

Kanna felt as if her body was about to stiffen from lying in such a curled up position. The hard floor was also painful, and the cold air from the floor seeped into her bones.

She tried to turn over and sit up, but her hands were tied behind her back and became an obstacle.

After several attempts, she finally succeeded in sitting up, but her bound wrists and ankles were already worn out by the rough hemp rope.

She bit her lips, enduring the pain from the wound.

Inadvertently, her left hand pressed on the ground.

An incomparably sharp pain came, and she violently withdrew her hand, almost causing herself to lose her balance and fall to the side.

She groaned, her forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.

However, the excruciating pain overcame the chaotic headache.

She remembered everything with a jolt.

A few hours ago.

After bidding farewell to Bombardment Scorch, she walked into the changing room.

There, the girls were always chattering and laughing as they opened their shoe cabinets and changed into their white indoor shoes.

Then, hand in hand, they skipped toward the classroom.

It was an honor that Kanna Tomosuke was used to but had never enjoyed.

She glanced at the lively crowd without much envy or unwillingness on her face. She had long been used to this kind of solitary life.

She walked to her shoe cabinet, opened the cabinet door with empty eyes, and put her hand in —

Pain!

Something sharp cut her finger, and the blood that gushed out dyed the snow-white heel red.

She quickly retracted her hand and sucked on her injured finger as she looked into the shoe cabinet in a daze.

The shoe cabinet was filled with pushpins with their tips pointing upwards. The indoor shoes that should have been empty were filled with razor blades and glass shards of different sizes.

She saw some blood stains on the tip of one of the razor blades.

"Hahahahaha, what a fool.

So stupid. "Flaming Spark's voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Kanna Tomosuke turned her head sluggishly and saw her and her closest followers standing by the window.

"What are you looking at!

You don't even know how to change your shoes. You loser, why haven't you been eliminated by this world, huh? "Her followers also began to speak.

Kanna Tomosuke's hand trembled slightly.

Their gazes were as sharp as needles, and their smiles were as cold as ice. Kanna Tomosuke found it difficult to breathe.

Be strong. Be a hero.

She said to herself.

She calmed herself down and decided to ignore their provocation. She began to carefully take out the pushpins from the shoe cabinet.

"Graviton is asking you a question!

Who allowed you to ignore us?! "They were very dissatisfied when they didn't see the reaction they expected.

Another follower stepped forward and sternly scolded Kanna Tomosuke. She pushed down her left arm that was trying to take out the pushpins from the shoe cabinet.

"Woo —!!" Caught off guard, a few pushpins pierced into her flesh, and a few glass shards scratched her.

Kanna Tomosuke couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Hmph.

Serves you right. "Blazing Huahuo snorted coldly and smiled happily. She then walked away with her followers.

"Ouch …" Kanna Tomosuke trembled in pain. She carefully withdrew her left arm from the shoe cabinet. It was already covered in cuts and bruises.

She endured the pain and pierced the pushpin in her hand.

Fortunately, it wasn't too deep.

But where the glass shards cut, blood began to ooze out. It dripped on the floor and made a "patter" sound.

— — It was the same sound as raindrops hitting the ground when it rained.

Such a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

— — No, now is not the time to be distracted.

She shook her head.

The wound hurts … I have to find a place to clean it and then go to the infirmary.

Kanna Tomosuke thought.

But after so long, it was almost time for class.

At this time, the locker room was no longer as noisy as before. It began to quiet down.

Hurry up — — or I'll be late.

She didn't have time to deal with the glass shards in her indoor shoes. She hurriedly walked to the bathroom at the end of the locker room.

But there, she saw Flaming Spark's beautiful demon-like face.

Kanai stood at the door of the bathroom and hesitantly stopped.

"What's wrong?

Gray rat in the gutter. "Flaming Spark leaned against the window, her eyes cold.

"Why aren't you moving?

— — Are you afraid of me? "

Kanna Tomosuke nodded, then shook her head.

"We're friends, Kana Kobayashi." Blazing leaned closer to her and said.

Kanna Tomosuke blinked in confusion. She didn't seem to understand what Flaming Spark wanted to say.

She carefully thought for a moment. It seemed that from kindergarten until now, the only person of the same age that she was most familiar with was the person in front of her.

… … Although after Flaming Spark awakened her personality, her life became more and more difficult.

"Yes." So Kanna Tomosuke nodded seriously.

"What are you talking about!

You piece of trash! "But what greeted her was a slap, directly next to her ear.

Kanna Tomosuke's face was turned to the side because of the impact.

"You have no personality, and you want to be friends with me?!

Are you worthy? "

Another slap.

This time it was the left hand.

Kanna Tomosuke didn't have time to speak.

She only felt a burning pain on her face. Her teeth seemed to have scratched the mucous membrane in her mouth, and a rusty taste spread in her mouth.

"When I think of you sticking to me like a slug, and being in the same class as me, I feel disgusted." She was against the light, casting a shadow over the thin gray-haired girl.

"You should look at yourself. How dare you disobey me and ignore me in public!"

"— — You're just a gray rat in the gutter."

Kanna Tomosuke looked up at her, as if she was seeing her for the first time.

In a trance, she remembered Blazing in kindergarten. She was still an arrogant but soft-hearted child.

Blazing Spark would fly a kite with her in the spring park. Blazing Spark would also put a band-aid on her clumsily when she fell down.

Blazing Spark would run on the grass in a gorgeous little dress, and her golden eyes were as warm and bright as the sun.

But now, Blazing Spark's golden eyes were still looking at her, but her eyes had lost their original warmth.

Natsuya looked down at Kanna just like that, as if she was truly looking at trash. This was a gaze that Kanna Youshu had always been unwilling to understand.

— — All these changes began after her personality awakened.

"In that case, how should I punish you?" Flaming Spark dragged out her words, revealing a malicious smile.

Kanna Tomosuke had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Then — — Confinement first!" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a heavy slap on the back of her head.

After the dull pain, she blacked out and lost consciousness.

She didn't know what happened after that.

…

Yukiko Shimizu woke up late. When she finally reached the locker room, it was almost time for class.

After hurriedly changing into indoor shoes, she unfortunately bumped into her classmate Graviton effortlessly holding Kanna Tomosuke's thin body as they walked out of the bathroom. She didn't know where they were going.

Yukiko Shimizu curled up next to the shoe cabinet. She didn't dare to open her mouth to ask.

She saw that Kanna Tomosuke, who was leaning on Graviton's shoulder, had her hands hanging limply. Her left hand seemed to be injured, and fresh blood dripped onto the ground like scarlet flowers.

"Yosuke classmate isn't feeling well, so he needs to go to the infirmary.

Maybe it's quite serious, so he'll probably go straight home. "Flaming Spark's arrogant voice suddenly sounded behind her, scaring her so much that she jumped up.

Flaming Spark's golden eyes narrowed.

"Do you understand?" She said in a slightly threatening tone.

"Un … Understood!

Yosuke classmate went to the infirmary and then went home! "Yukiko Shimizu was so scared that she almost cried.

"I … I didn't see anything!"

"Good.

That's a good girl ~ "Flaming Spark touched Yukiko Shimizu's hair, and an angelic smile appeared on her delicate face.

Yukiko Shimizu shrank back and tried to stop her body from trembling.

… I'm sorry, Kanna Tomosuke.

Looking at Blazing and her followers' satisfied backs, Yukiko Shimizu thought bitterly.

After all, everyone is selfish.

It's good that it's you, not me.

There were still ten minutes before class started.

She picked up her bag and quickly ran to the classroom — — her footsteps were light, as if nothing had happened.
