Chapter 39: Transfer Student, Ivan (1/2)
”Were elementary students normally this fierce?”
Calvin furrowed his eyebrows.
He felt somewhat annoyed that he wasn't given any time to contemplate what just happened for he was just thrown right into the fray. Staring at the several bullies surrounding a lone student, Calvin knew that he had to do something. If not, then that would be wasting the opportunity given to him by that thing that transported him into this place.
”Find a way out of this place... Hmmph, that's such a piece of vague advice...”
”Of course, I'll find a way out of this place!” Calvin softly uttered.
He walked out of his room and shouted.
”Stay your hand!”
Calvin's voice rang loud and clear that the jeering students abruptly froze.
”Ivan? You're trying to help Ziya again? What? You have a crush on her, huh? Hahaha, that seems fitting. Birds of the same feather really do flock together. Both of you are trash after all!” A student who seemed to be too big to be an elementary student coldly spat at Calvin's direction.
'Ivan? That's my name in this place?' Calvin inwardly thought.
His attention then turned to look at the studied that was being bullied and he found that it was a little girl who looked to be in seven to eight-years-old. She was holding her stomach in pain, and the contents of her lunchbox, as well as her lunchbox itself, was thrown onto the ground.
'How horrible... just what kind of a school is this?' Calvin inwardly commented.
He glanced at the time and formulated a plan, ”Are you sure that you are going to continue this when the first period is about to start? Do you want to get punished for truancy?” Calvin crossed his arm in front of his chest. He moved closer to Ziya as if he was trying to protect her from the bullies.
Ziya raised her head.
The shock within her beautiful sapphire-like eyes indicated that she was thoroughly astonished that someone stepped up for her.
But...
Ziya bit her lips.
”Why did you step up for me?”
”Don't you know? Now that you are protecting me, they will also target you from today!”
Ziya softly whispered.
Calvin could hear what she said, but he merely shrugged.
It's not as if he was going to stay here for a long time anyway.
He just needed to get out, subdue that notebook, then complete this final phase along with the other newbies.
”All right, Ivan... Since you're obviously trying to protect her, then watch your back when class is over later...” The student glared angrily at Ivan.
He even wanted to throw a punch, but considering that there were only a few minutes before the first period started, he held himself back and ran towards his classroom.
”Hmmph...”
Calvin merely scoffed.
He found it beneath him to pay any attention to that student whose age looked to be between five and thirty-five.
He turned his attention to Ziya, and he found it incomprehensible as to why such a beautiful little girl was being bullied by the others. Although he had a good idea of why she was being bullied, Calvin knew that he couldn't just assume things.
He needed to investigate this matter properly.
Calvin squatted down and helped Ziya clean the mess on the floor.
”I-Ivan... Let's go now... We can't be late or sir Nick will punish us!”
Ziya seemed to be very afraid of sir Nick.
It was as if he was her nemesis.
”You go ahead, I'll clean this mess first.” Calvin proposed and Ziya didn't complain.
She ran towards the classroom for Class 3.
Calvin was finally done within the cleaning and he was now walking through the corridor, trying to find a trash bin where he could throw the trash that he picked up.
Soon, he found one and after throwing the trash. He discovered that this school was indeed quite similar to the school on the third floor of the Administration Block.
This place appeared to be in a completely enclosed building, and it seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. All the windows were barred with wooden planks and Calvin walked for quite a long time, yet he still couldn't find the way out.
