Chapter 753 (2/2)
The witches could conclude from lip-reading that they were quarreling about where they came from… insults such as “go back to the Eastern Region,” and “dogs of the rebel king” were being thrown around.
Soon, they started to push at each other. The tallest kid struck first, intending to push the girl down to the ground, but as soon as he grabbed the girl’s shoulder with his hands, his knee was kicked by the girl and he fell hard on the ground.
The situation in the classroom immediately turned awry.
The short-haired girl slipped out of the encirclement as agile as a slippery loach, and aimed another kick towards a fatty, drawing all the attention to herself.
At this moment, everyone stopped caring about the currently weeping girl. They all sprang together towards the short-haired girl, who, cunningly, used the other students in the classroom as cover to dodge the attacks. Her small figure helped her to accurately kick the pursuers’ knees or ankles, making them hunch over in pain.
“What a ferocious little devil!” Mystery Moon was astonished.
“Come on. Knock them down!” Amy could not help clenching her fist as if she was actually at the scene.
“But… she doesn’t have enough strength,” Vanilla said with concern. “And continuing to attack the same places will do her no good, since it won’t work a second time.”
“Oh? How did you know that?” Mystery Moon looked at her in surprise.
“S-Sorry, I just used to…”
“The Church taught you that, right?” Evelyn comforted Vanilla. “That’s okay. You’ve passed His Majesty’s examination and proved that you’re different from the evil Pure Witches.”
Lily frowned without a word. She agreed with Vanilla. Although the students who had been kicked down looked flustered, they were able to struggle onto their feet after some time and continued to chase the girl. This time, they were more cautious and guarded their legs so that the girl had less of a chance to hit them.
Suddenly, the tallest kid lifted a chair and moved to strike her from behind with it while her attention was distracted by two other kids.
“Watch out!” Amy shouted.
But a warning shouted at someone who was in the illusion was meaningless, as the illusion only recorded what had already happened.
The chair leg hit the girl’s head hard and knocked her down. However, at the moment she fell, the girl managed to roll out and away from the attacks from the two other opponents in front of her and squatted on the floor with her hands on her head and her teeth clenched tight.
The blood had stained her fingertips.
The blood slowly trickled down past her ear, and dyed her face red.
The tallest kid was a little stunned by the fact that the girl was able to take the strong blow. He hesitated for a while before tossing the chair away and then walked up to her.
At that moment when everyone thought that she was done for, her face suddenly twisted into an anguished look as she opened her mouth to shout out loudly. Although the witches could not hear her voice, they were able to gauge the pain she was in from her look, which she did not even display when her head was hit by the chair.
Then a bolt of lightning burst out from her fingertips and were soon followed by a second, a third… The lighting spread along the floor, leaving behind twisted orange-red trails, and as soon as it touched the window, it turned into a sudden burst of light.
In a split second, a blinding explosion occurred and a loud bang sounded. The window shattered, and a large hole was blown through the wall. Everyone panicked and ran away, leaving behind the short-haired girl shrouded in lightning.
