"How dare you show your ugly face here after what you made Tiff go through?" Nora yelled. She advanced towards the lady who was trying to keep a distance from them.
"Did you just call me ugly?" Joanna scoffed with her chin held high. "Between the two of us, who should be considered ugly?" She added.
As usual, students who were looking for a source of entertainment started gathering in small numbers.
"You are…,"
"Why are you wasting time speaking to a lowlife girl like her? Aren't you afraid that she will infect you with her incurable diseases?" Sophie, the second in command, mocked her with shoulders raised high.
With the leader of their group observing punishment at home, as the next in command, the duties of looking after the group falls on her shoulders.
"If I am a lowlife…,"
"Girls, don't you know that you are making her feel very important by spending so much time talking to her?" Sophie cut in not letting Joanna talk.
She turned and looked at the two ladies standing by her right-hand side.
"Seize the clutches and let's see whether she will still be able to keep up with her haughty attitude after we are done dealing with her," Sophie commanded the two ladies who were acting like a bodyguard of some sort.
The first thing Joanna did when she saw the two ladies approach her was to look behind her.
The distance between where they stood and where the long staircase ended made her shudder.
[I am sure I will really lose a leg today if the mean girls decide to attack me here]
Joanna subconsciously stare at her legs after this thought crossed her mind.
Although she wasn't pushed off a high place, she was already leaping. She was certain she would not only go home with a broken arm or leg if she is pushed down the stairs but she is gonna be paralyzed.
"Don't you dare come near me," Joanna shouted as she lifted the steel clutches and pointed them at Nora?
"Come closer and I will make you experience what it means to be bleeding from the nose," Joanna threatened coldly with the hope that the ladies would back away but unfortunately they didn't.
It looked like they were very prepared for her tonight.
"That will only happen if you are capable, don't you think so?" Doris said grinning as she continued approaching Joanna who had started backing away.
[Dear system, I need one red flame ball. Just one flame ball is enough to put them in their places]
Joanna tried to summon her powers and concentrate them in one hand like she did the previous day but she didn't feel any rush of energy inside of her no matter how hard she tried.
At that instant that Doris and Nora reached out their hands to snatch Joanna's clutches, bird chirps and flapping of wings caught their attention.
The three ladies only needed to get a glimpse of Bacon's flying figure before they moved backwards in a flash.
"What's the evil bird doing here?" Nora cried out. After being traumatized by the bird they normally referred to as the evil bird, they developed fear towards Bacon.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Joanna talked to the bird which just flew onto her right shoulder.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away? Have you started disobeying your master huh?" Joanna talked to the bird as if she was speaking to a person.
The onlookers didn't lose the opportunity to capture everything with their cell phones.
"Are we going to lose such an excellent opportunity because of some silly bird?" Sophie muttered as she glared at the bird which from the looks of it seems to be glaring at them too.
"Go get the two of them," Sophie ordered but the two ladies refused to move an inch forward.
"It's better to abort our plans rather than sacrificing our eyes to the bird just because we want to deal with her," Nora the scared cat said seriously.
The three ladies were about to change their minds about attacking Joanna until Bacon started flying again.
"Did you notice that the bird looks abnormal?" Doris, whose gaze was glued on the bird, commented.
Her comments made her two friends pay attention to Bacon's every movement.
"You are right. Not only does it not soar with pride like it normally does but it looks like it is struggling to fly like a newborn bird," Sophie added.
"Does this mean that the universe is on our side?" Nora's eyes sparkled as she watched Bacon continue his unusual movement.
"Not only are we gonna deal with the silly girl but we are also gonna take revenge on her evil bird, this is nice," A wicked grin plastered on Doris' face as she shifted her attention from the bird to Joanna's face.
"I will take care of the bird while the two of you will handle her," Sophie instructed.
Noticing that their focus has been diverted to the innocent bird too, Joanna stretched her hand to catch Bacon but the intelligent bird flew a bit higher.
"Bacon, leave now or they are gonna harm you too," Joanna warned the bird but Bacon refused to leave her alone.
"What is the point of being stupidly loyal when your master can't even guarantee your safety," Joanna muttered seeing that Bacon choose to do like he wanted to today.
Before she could fathom what the ladies' plans were, Sophie leapt up and caught the sick bird.
"Let go of it now," Joanna ordered. She was the one trying to keep a distance from them earlier but right now she closed the gap for Bacon's sake.
Nora and Doris used this opportunity to take away her clutches.
"You can do whatever you want to me, I won't complain but don't you dare lay a hand on Bacon because I won't forgive anyone who hurts my loved one," Joanna tried to bypass the two ladies obstructing her path but they won't budge.
"And why should I do like you said when I can use this opportunity to watch you cry in the presence of so many people," Sophie said beaming.
