……

Qian Jie clenched his fists silently. Like Kevin, he was not good at expressing his thoughts, but the raging fire emanating from his body almost melted the conference room, which showed Qian Jie's anger!

Watching the poor, innocent girl being devoured by malice, Qianjie thought of what he himself had experienced...

"The ugliness of human nature..."

Alicia was particularly sensitive to the words "Thousand Calamities," and her usually smiling eyes furrowed with sadness.

She felt very sad about Mei's experience, but even more so about the ugly side of humanity.

The humans that Alicia loves are not such ugly beings.

However, Alicia firmly believes that the humans she loves have admirable qualities that make them worthy of her love.

"Don't worry, since Kiana appeared just now, the person who looks very similar to you will definitely care about Mei a lot and lend her a helping hand, just like you do."

While comforting Kevin, Alicia was also telling everyone to have faith in humanity itself.

Because I believe in the goodness of humankind.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

………………

As Alicia said, humans are not just ugly and dirty.

Like two sides of a coin, like light and shadow going hand in hand, humanity also possesses an extremely dazzling brilliance that is almost blinding.

The bullying against Mei continues in the scene. Countless insults and cold stares repeatedly assault Mei's psychological defenses, threatening to completely shatter the already fragile heart of this young girl who has suddenly experienced a dramatic change...

However, at that very moment, a crisp, playful scolding rang out!

"You bunch of bastards! Who's bullying my senior?!"

What snapped Mei out of her daze, only to plunge her back into it, was a white-haired girl who suddenly barged in.

Her long hair flowed like snow, and her azure eyes were as clear as the beautiful sky.

Her words and actions were just as beautiful—

"You bunch of bastards! If anyone dares to bully Mei-senpai again, I'll beat you all to a pulp!"

Under Mei's incredulous gaze, the beautiful white-haired girl swung her baseball bat and beat everyone in the classroom one by one!

Despite appearing to be a beautiful and quiet young girl, she viciously swung a baseball bat, sending countless people flying!

"you……"

Mei stared in disbelief at the white-haired girl who had stormed up in front of her. She watched as the girl, panting, carried a baseball bat and flashed her pearly white teeth. That smile became the only ray of light Mei saw in the darkness.

Those ugly monsters that had cursed and mocked her melted away like snow meeting the sun at that moment…

Of course, in reality, all the talkative people were forced to shut up under the swing of that baseball bat.

The girl named Kiana was the hero who cleared away all the malice for her.

Mei was worried that the girl would suffer the same misfortune if she got close to her, but the girl seemed braver than Mei, who was unwilling to hurt others.

Or rather… it should be said that she was too cowardly. She dared not retaliate when attacked, but now a brave girl has stood before her and fought back for her.

"Hehe, didn't scare you, senior?"

Kiana wiped away a few drops of sweat, pointing her thumb to her chest:

"My name is Kiana. If anyone dares to bully you again, I, Kiana, will be the first to not let them get away with it!"

This was Mei and Kiana's first encounter.

From then on, no one in Chiba Academy dared to speak ill of Mei anymore, because there was always a violent baseball bat girl by her side.

Although the malice towards Mei still existed, it was hidden in everyone's hearts because of the baseball bat she was wielding, and they dared not easily reveal it.

As Kiana took action, the malice directed at Mei gradually shifted to Kiana as well.

However, unlike the overly gentle Mei, Kiana, clearly a troublemaker, never tolerates anything and immediately crushes those villains who intend to target her.

The price of doing so was that Kiana's father, Siegfried, became a regular at the school.

And every time Kiana takes action, she always has a big bump on her head the next day.

Of course, it wasn't because she was beaten by the bullies; at school, she was the one who bullied others.

Those were marks left by her father, Siegfried, when he beat her.

As for Siegfried's reason for beating her, it's quite simple—

It wasn't because I blamed Kiana for protecting Mei that I took action, but because I was angry that she hadn't completely silenced those malicious voices.

And so, Mei emerged from the dark clouds and began her sunny school life...

………………

………………

When Mei's past of being bullied came to an end, everyone realized that their eyes were sore and their noses were tingling.

Now they can understand a little better why Kiana is so obsessed with Mei.

Anyone who learns about Mei's unfortunate experience will feel sorry for this innocent and gentle girl.

Everyone's protective instincts towards Mei were aroused, and they wished they could protect Mei in Kiana's place.

But since that's impossible, everyone can only hope that Kiana can protect Mei better.

Although some people felt sorry for Mei and blamed her for being too weak and not daring to fight back, the main responsibility did not lie with Mei.

An innocent girl with a kind nature suffered unwarranted emotional abuse after a sudden family upheaval. What did she do wrong?

Mei is already a wonderful child for being able to persevere after the upheaval in her family. How can we ask more of her?

"Mei, don't be afraid."

Himeko patted Mei on the shoulder and stood behind her.

She flashed a bright, fiery red smile, just like her hair, and pulled Mei into her arms.

Himeko, who was usually reeking of alcohol and unreliable, made a firm promise at this moment, her heart filled with tenderness:

“I am your teacher. No matter what injustices you suffer, I will get revenge for you.”

"With me here, no one will dare to bully you again."

Himeko hugged the poor girl, who was not favored by fate, tightly, letting her know that now, Mei's back was no longer empty, but had her, her teacher, by her side.

Following closely behind Himeko, Theresa, as the headmistress, naturally stepped forward, not to be outdone.

She smashed a cross in front of Mei, the terrifying weight causing the office floor to shatter!

"Theresa too! As the headmistress of St. Freya Academy, Theresa dares to bully anyone like this. Let her taste the bitterness of Judas!"

Theresa confidently displayed the Judas Cross, which shimmered with lightning. Her confident and arrogant smile made Mei both laugh and cry, yet her eyes still stung with tears.

"Himeko-sensei, Headmaster..."

Mei, held tightly in Himeko's arms, felt the warmth emanating from the adult, and a lump welled up in her throat.

"Mei-neechan, Bronya's Heavy Bunny is ready to go at any time."

Bronya, usually a quiet child, also came to Mei's side at this moment, even though she wasn't good at expressing herself. She brandished the cannon of her Heavy Bunny in front of Mei.

"Mei-neechan is Bronya's important partner."

"Bronya..."

Seeing even Bronya, who lacks an expression module, making such a firm promise, Mei's eyes glistened with tears.

As the first hero to save Mei, Kiana couldn't help but wipe her eyes as she watched Mei being surrounded by everyone.

But she held back the stinging in her nose. After all, she was Mei's heroine. How could she do something as shameful as losing Little Pearl?

So Kiana forced her kitten eyes wide open, trying to hold back her tears.

"Mei, I...uh!"

"Snapped!"

Kiana, who hadn't even finished speaking, was slammed against the wall by the suddenly flung-open office door, where she was stuck like a paper doll and couldn't be pried off.

Kiana?!

Mei screamed in surprise, only to find that the person who had burst through the door was none other than Fu Hua, the usually quiet but reliable and trustworthy squad leader.

Fu Hua, who had been immersed in smashing sandbags in the training room, couldn't help but come to Theresa's office after witnessing Mei's misfortune.

"Mei, I know everything that happened to you."

Fu Hua was unaware that Kiana had been slammed against the wall by her, and was instead staring at Mei.

She clenched her fist and suddenly punched it, smashing Theresa's desk two meters away!

"desk--?!!"

Fu Hua ignored Theresa's cries of agony and, after revealing her power, granted Mei her promise:

"As class monitor, I absolutely will not allow bullying to happen."

"As long as I'm around, you, as my classmate, will never be bullied."

Fu Hua's voice was powerful and resonant, as convincingly forceful as her fist.

"Squad Leader Fu Hua..."

Seeing Fu Hua so focused, Mei really couldn't say anything.

How kind everyone is before her! Himeko, Theresa, Bronya, Fu Hua—they're all standing behind Mei, offering her warmth and support.

At this moment, Mei realized once again that she was not alone and helpless in this world, but a lucky person who was happily loved by everyone!

After everyone expressed their desire to protect Mei, Kiana, being the one in question, finally managed to pry herself off the wall and limped over to Mei.

Kiana temporarily ignored Fu Hua's puzzled look, "Why are you limping?", and, enduring the excruciating pain all over her body, gave Mei her usual sunny smile:

"Mei, I will always, always be behind you."
