The Return of the White Skull Princess

Chapter 50: A Bad Joke

“I think Leona won't go to school today.”

while riding a bicycle to the station, Kirana tells Cecilia what just happened at the Wildroar family home, from a distance they see a cloud of dust created from the explosion of Leona's punch.

Cecilia was envious of her friend who had become an Awakened, and she asked Kirana how to become an Awakened.

“Being an Awakened is different on every person.”

“But that time when Regina's sister and I were almost killed by Wongasu guild members, you said I would be resurrected if they did, right?.” Cecilia recalled the events of that night very first time in meeting Kirana.

“Ya it's true..” Kirana stops her words when an ambulance speeds towards the elite housing where her friend's house is located.

“Lena got up because she didn't want to lose the bond of friendship with us, while that time I saw about you being awakened by the loss of someone who means so much.”

Kirana says that as the ‘sight’ of the future, she doesn't want Cecilia to ask questions of sorts if she knows Kirana has a memory of three thousand years of the future.

“So what Awakened relates to a bond (family, friends and love).”

“No, more precisely one's emotions felt when the bond was problematic.”

Cecilia still did not fully understand what Kirana was saying, but at least she understood the concept.

“Emotion, isn't that my forte to manipulate it?.”

Kirana glanced at the friend who was riding a bicycle beside her, she was still thinking of a way to become an Awakened. Kirana thought again about what Cecilia used to do when she became the Queen of Jealousy.

‘He is able to make someone become Awakened with just one blink. That's so crazy.’

The two stopped chatting when they reached the station. In the train Cecilia still talk about Awakened, so on the way to school she still talks about it. Kirana finally gave her advice.

“Just try to fall in love with someone and then you break up with him, maybe it will make you awaken.”

“Seriously? Where it can be so, if awakened can happen as easily as it is for sure every day there will be an Awakened born.”

“That's because their feelings don't get to obsessive levels. Well... like a manga and anime story, someone will receive ‘power up’ when things are so precarious, as happened to Leona who almost lost against her brother. Maybe you can also become an Awakened when faced with such difficult circumstances.”

The two arrive at the school thus stopping any talk about Leona and Awakened.

Kirana could feel a lot of eyes on her as well as Cecilia. The menacing gaze was not only from the 1st disciple who always assumed that the two were parasites attached to Leona, but the seniors did the same.

“Why aren't they with Leona? Could it be that the strongest disciples were already aware if they were just benalu.”

“Hahaha..

“I heard Alexander Leona's older brother, a student of this school who used to be the head of the Humbelman group has returned. I'm sure he has taught his sister properly.”

“Cih, disgusting mutants like them will finally not stick to the most potential new students.”

Chirping every disciple who was mostly normal humans who disliked mutants. Hearing their words made Kirana's ears hurt, she did nothing because she did not want to be the center of attention by beating every student.

But if they themselves are trying to find trouble.

“I really feel if we misplaced Cecil.” Kirana said with a voice amplified using magic so that even though her speech was not loud but everyone within 50 meters could hear it clearly.

“You too! Thinking only I feel if this place is so different from yesterday.”

“Yeah, maybe we did make a wrong turn earlier. Instead of arriving at school, we even lost to the rehabilitation center of the grants.”

“Oh I think we got lost in the wild dog captivity. Turns out we got lost in a place more dangerous than I thought.”

The two continued walking while giggling while the voices that had been heard had completely disappeared replaced by hostile gazes. Meanwhile in the OSIS building several pairs of eyes of the seniors stared at the two coldly.

When she reached her class, Kirana realized that the gaze of every student of the class was directed at her. Seeing that gaze immediately Kirana thought of some things that could happen if someone was experiencing bullying.

“If it is not a threat letter then there is something on my desk.” Kirana's thoughts are true, when she reached her very dirty table full of scribbles and strange liquid with a pungent odor.

“Hopefully Cecilia does not get the same treatment.” Kirana then uses detection magic to find out the culprit.

“So... can you talk now?.”

“What?.”

Adriana looked confused by Kirana's words.

“If you keep acting stupid like this then maybe I will show you the photo my friend sent.”

Kirana showed Adriana the smartphone, in an instant the pink haired girl was so panicked and tried to grab Kirana's smartphone but it didn't work.

“What's this! Does this nerdy girl bother you Adriana?.” a student who is Adriana's group tries to intimidate Kirana.

“Oh do I bother you Adriana?.” Kirana asked with a big smile. Seeing that Adriana was trying to hide her panic.

“Ti... not at all not like that!.” Adriana tries her best so that her friends are not curious about the photo that is meant by Kirana.

“So can you start ‘Singingi’ now?.” Kirana is pressing back.

“It wasn't me who did that on hostu.”

“Yes, I already know that because I am a scanner. I also know who did it.”

Kirana's words shocked everyone. Scanner is a job that allows one to detect something, very bad in battle but so helpful in search and investigation.

“So why did you ask me if you did it not me?.” Adriana was so angry that almost her big secret was exposed by a mistake that neither of the two did.

“I just want to look for evidence, you know not if I can't accuse someone without proof?.”

Kirana realized that it wasn't just one person who was bullying her. If he wants to arrest the perpetrator without any evidence then what happens is that Kirana will be accused of slander, if that happens then whatever words she speaks will no longer have power.

Realizing what Kirana wants, “Okey, I will be a witness for you, but if you delete the photo along with the copy.”

“Sorry it's impossible.” Kirana said as she walked away from Adriana.

“Kslau so no deal, I'll keep quiet.” Adriana was so angry that Kirana did not want to delete her photo.

“No, you will read the sermon later.”

Kirana stopped in front of the bench of Ilham, the same child who did the magic rune on the second day. Kirana looked at the young man lazily, while Ilham looked confused.

All the disciples just stared at Kirana, some of them mul6 worried because one of their bullying colleagues had been discovered.

“You think you are a genius, right?.” asked Kirana to Ilham.

“Heh?.” the young man is still confused.

“Do I look like a joke to you?.”

“What are you talking about?.”

“Weird basis.”

“!!!!.”

Inspiration was surprised to realize that Kirana was currently able to figure out what she was thinking.

Kirana immediately gripped the collar of Ilham's shirt and pulled him closer, while she pulled her head back and then...

Braak!

Kirana violently banged her head with the head of Inspiration.

“I said, am I like a joke to you!.” a word full of intimidation so that every student can feel a strong pressure makes everyone difficult to breathe. Even Ilham who was stared at by Kirana to wet his pants because he was too afraid.
