Chapter 97: A life Worse than death (b) (2/2)
”Nothing happened?” The horrified Hurley touched his body, here and there, confirming that he is alive. However, some bones have indeed shattered when he forcefully pressed against the mysterious pressure Elliot used on him.
”What?!” Linda and onlookers were equally surprised, unable to understand why the ball of obliteration simply back off instead of giving Hurley the most painful death.
”Pufahahahaha!” Elliot laughed at the top of his lungs, so much that his sides started to ache. ”I have been playing with you since the very start, you dumb bitch! There was no ball of obliteration, not was I going to kill any one of you. Do you ants seriously think I am going to ruin my status as a perfect magician law-abiding citizen by killing you under daylight and in front of hundreds of people? You ants think of highly of yourself.”
”What(Nani)?!!!!!” Linda, the participants, the instructors, Lisa, and even Headmaster Gerald felt as if they had been played like fools by him.
”From the very beginning, I wanted to show everyone here how far you are willing to go to keep your pathetic life. I didn't think you would be cruel enough to mind control the only friend that spoke up for you and send him towards death! Everyone has seen your reality! There's no way you can hide the fact that you're cruel and will sacrifice the lives of your friend to survive!” After saying those words to Linda, Elliot looked towards the onlookers and said in a booming voice, ”I hope that you guys won't associate with her if you want to live long. Someone like her deserves to be isolated, don't you all think so?”
”Ridiculous! Do you think anyone is going to support your childish claim!” Linda said while looking at Elliot.
Elliot didn't even bother looking at her.
”Yes, Elliot is indeed right! Someone like you deserve to be isolated!”
Lisa said, and as if her words were the beginning of the war, everyone started pointing their weapons at Linda.
”She is indeed too vicious and a backstabbing bitch!”
”She don't deserve to be here!”
”Let's outcast her!”
”Let's outcast her!”
”Let's outcast her!”
”We don't want to study in the same academy as her! Expel her!”
Elliot had managed to sway the opinion of the crowd by putting up a masterful act! He was a psychopath for sure, but the crowd wasn't intelligent enough to understand that, and they merely followed what their heart desired the most, isolate and taunt Linda.
Linda's body ached from the overwhelming majority of people that were trying to cancel her, and she looked towards her friends but they turned their back towards her. She looked towards Hurley, but he closed his eyes in disappointment and moved his head away from her.
”It wasn't my fault! He was the one threatening to kill me! I wouldn't have acted like that if it wasn't for him! Why isn't anyone listening to me?! Why are you guys going against me?! Why?!!” She shrieked like a banshee, but the voice of the majority overwhelmed her voice, and her words fell on nobody's ears.
Linda's heart fell. She was hopeless at the scene before her. No one was by her side. She was all alone, all alone!
