The world is broken, my Valkyrie is doubled

"Big... Big sister... I feel something is wrong... Why are these guys suddenly..." said the younger brother next to her, a little scared.

"You guys! Do you want to rebel?" Facing so many accusations, no matter how violent and aggressive the girl was, she was still a little frightened.

"Rebellion? What rebellion? Do you really think you have the final say in this class? I think you are the ones who want to rebel!"

"That's right! Get out of this class! You are not welcome in this class!"

"Yes! Get out!"

"Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!"

For a moment, the crowd was excited and angry. Those little girls who usually only knew how to bully the weak had never seen such a scene before. "Big... Big sister, let's go first..." the little girls said fearfully.

"You...you guys...just wait for me! Just wait for me!" After a moment of rage, the leading girl could only flee in shame with her friends from the classroom that had completely rejected them.

Seeing this, Youmei immediately helped Yuno up from the ground, and comforted her, "It's okay, Yuno-san, it's okay."

"Well done, Yumi-san."

"Finally I scared those annoying guys away...Haha, they were so arrogant on weekdays, but now they are running away in disgrace."

"I didn't expect that everyone was upset with each other... I couldn't help it just now, and said a few words in secret. I was ready to be beaten at that time."

"It's okay, Yuno-san. From today on, you don't have to pay attention to those guys anymore. Everyone will stand on your side."

"..." Yuno looked at the classmates who worked together to drive away the gangsters, and she suddenly had a very strange feeling... very strange, very strange, as if she was meeting these classmates for the first time. Are these really the classmates who had always turned a blind eye to her plight? Have they changed so much?

Could it be that... even between humans, there is not only ugliness and bullying? Seeing them celebrating their victory in unity, their smiles made Yuno fall into deep self-doubt for the first time.

Chapter 38 The Bystander Effect

Chiba Academy Meeting Room

Since Qianyu Academy changed its new chairman, the chairman of the school has been determined to reform the teaching model and solve campus problems, and wants to clear the negative reputation that Qianyu Academy has accumulated. Therefore, this meeting is also held in the hope of brainstorming and sharing some experiences among teachers.

The most notable one is the new teacher Wang, who took over a class that was notorious for problems. But within a short month after Wang took over, the class, whether in monthly exam results or the usual class atmosphere, has already been on par with those of the best classes. Therefore, Wang was specially invited to share his teaching experience.

At the meeting, Wang Chen talked about many of his teaching methods. After that, he also mentioned some of the teaching problems and potential problems on campus that he encountered during his time as a class teacher... Among them, the most troublesome issue for all teachers is campus bullying.

"The bullying problem cannot be solved by the parties involved alone, unless the bullied are completely separated from the bullies. A third party must be involved. However, as a third party, whether it is a teacher or a parent, it is difficult to deal with this problem effectively." Wang Chen said slowly.

"The reasons are the following two points. The first is that children who are bullied often do not want others to know that they are bullied. Family, friends, and teachers also want to conceal it. So when a child who is bullied actively wants to seek help, it must be necessary to do their best to muster up the courage. Unfortunately, if a child has such courage, he or she can speak out effectively as early as when the bullying first occurs, and naturally, the bullying problem will stop in the early stages. Children who are bullied for a long time basically cannot muster such courage. After all, bullies like children who lack courage the most."

"Because of this, teachers, schools, and parents often fail to discover that their students or children are being bullied. The most important difficulty of the bullying problem lies in its hidden nature, and this hidden nature is not only caused by the bullies, but also unconsciously created by the bullied."

"Secondly, even after discovering it, the effect of stopping bullying, whether it is teachers or parents, is often only temporary, because we are not with children for a long time. Teachers can manage the classroom and school, but cannot manage outside of school and at home. Parents are the opposite. Bullies are different from the bullied. They often live together day and night, that is, in the classroom and outside of school. Of course, in fact, when the bullying problem is discovered, it is often much easier to solve, after all, we have a target."

Wang Chen finished speaking slowly, and suddenly felt the phone in his pants buzzing. After using his consciousness to sense the message sent from the phone, he smiled slightly and continued, "If we want to solve the bullying problem, it is obvious that whether it is a teacher or a parent, intervening as a third party is often not enough, so we need the most appropriate identity to intervene."

"Then Mr. Wang, what exactly is this identity that is most suitable for a third party to intervene?"

"The answer is actually very simple. It is the same identity as the bully and the bullied... students." Wang Chen's answer caused the teachers present to look at each other in confusion, not understanding the meaning.

"Teacher Wang...you mean...organizing bullying incidents through students?" a teacher asked.

"That's right. Ultimately, the reason why the bullying problem arises is that the students' environment provides a fertile soil for this evil behavior to grow. We often think that there are only two subjects in the bullying problem: the bully and the bullied. In fact, this is not the case. There is often a third subject - the bystander." Wang Chen then took out a photo and showed it to each teacher.

"This was my first day in class, and I happened to run into this bullying incident. In addition to the bullies and the bullied, there were many silent students in the entire classroom. They are also an indispensable part of the bullying problem." Wang Chen said, pointing to the photo.

"Because of silence, acquiescence, and fear of getting into trouble, their indifference ultimately encourages the arrogance of these bullies. They think that what they do is the behavior of the strong and that they are at the top among their peers. Other students can only listen to their arrangements and dare not resist. They are the local emperors of the class. In fact, it is not only the bullying problem that is like this. Various violent conflicts on campus and student gang-related incidents are also like this."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that these bystanders are the driving force behind bullies. Who are they showing off to? Aren't they just other kids of the same age as them?" Wang Chen said. "That's why these bystanders can become the key to solving the problem of bullying and even a series of violence-related problems in schools."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. When those bystanders stopped being silent and stood up to spit on their behavior, letting those bullies know that what they did was not only not the behavior of the strong, but was the most shameful, hateful, and disgusting behavior, then those bullies naturally lost the capital to show off their power, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they lost the 'glory' they thought they had!"

"Let those children with conscience unite completely, and let them understand that they are the majority with power, and they will never bow to these evils! Only in this way can we completely eliminate the soil for the breeding of evil and completely solve the problem of bullying!" Wang Chen said indignantly.

……

At the end of the meeting, Wang Chen's words benefited every teacher present. Wang Chen turned on his phone and saw a message from Youmei: "Teacher! We really succeeded! We successfully defeated those annoying guys. It was just like what the teacher said. Everyone in the class stood behind us and denounced those guys together! They could only be driven out of the classroom in disgrace."

"Brave First Penguin, I like you." Wang Chen replied with a faint smile.

In social psychology, there is a term called the bystander effect. When faced with bullying incidents, most people just watch, and students are no exception. But watching doesn’t mean they are not touched, or that they can’t tell right from wrong and think that bullying is the right thing to do. Deep down, they must be resisting. All they need is someone to push them to break the bystander effect and speak out together.

That's right, as long as one person stands up, this effect will inevitably be disintegrated, just like a large group of penguins will hesitate for a long time before jumping into the sea, but as long as the first penguin jumps, the other penguins will follow suit. This is commonly known as the first penguin. Youmei and some of her classmates are the first penguins specially trained by Wang Chen.

They did not disappoint Wang Chen. Relying on themselves and their classmates, they successfully drove away the group of bad girls and made them no longer have the capital to bully others on campus. After all, the class has united after this experience.

What's more important is Yuno's attitude. In this illusion space controlled by Wang Chen, he can clearly feel that Yuno's mentality has changed a little. This will be a good start. Maybe he can really achieve the wish that Cecilia and others wanted to achieve through the illusion during the Second Great Collapse.

Re-endowing beauty, allowing the child who has become a monster to believe in the possibility of humanity again and return to the embrace of humanity. And this is by no means a false beauty, this is the beauty that can be truly achieved in the real world.

“Whether Yuno can change back depends on the remaining time… I have stretched this illusion as long as possible to two and a half years. It will end on Yuno’s 18th birthday. I hope this illusion experience can change her…” Wang Chen slowly looked at Yuno, who was holding her hand beautifully in the illusion, and a hint of caution flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 39: Forget-Me-Not

"Ah..." Yuno opened her eyes, woke up from the bed, rubbed her tired eyes, stretched, and yawned.

"It's so hot..." Yuno tugged at her collar. A glaring sun shone on her slightly tired face. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Time flies so fast. Is it summer already? Another month has passed since that time."

It is now May, and summer has almost arrived. A month has passed since the bullying incident. After the whole class rebelled against those bad girls, those girls became arrogant again in the class. After all, no one in the class would treat them well anymore. Everyone was united and was not afraid of those bad girls who only knew how to bully the weak. After all, they were the powerful party now.

With the protection of teacher Wang Chen, they could not find anyone outside the school to cause trouble to their classmates. Therefore, those girls soon transferred to another school and left the campus, and the whole class returned to normal. As for Yuno, because she had been bullied by those girls for a long time, her classmates in the class were very concerned and tolerant of Yuno.

Yuno, who had always been away from her classmates’ attention, felt the warm attention of her classmates for the first time. This feeling made Yuno very bored, unhappy and uncomfortable. She didn’t like this feeling. She would rather those classmates continue to treat her like before, ignoring her and being indifferent to her. In this way, she would have a reason to give all those guys a good beating…

What? Yuno felt dazed and couldn't remember anything. Suddenly, she couldn't understand what she was thinking. She must have gone crazy. But now, what was the point of living such a dull life?

“Ding-Ding-” the cell phone rang. Yuno knew who was calling her without even looking—her now nominal good friend, Youmei-classmate.

"Yuno-chan, are you awake? It's our turn to be on duty today." She turned on her cell phone and the voice coming from the phone was exactly that of Youmei's lively voice.

"This girl has completely changed..." Yuno couldn't help but think that in the first semester of last year, Youmei was still hesitant and a coward who couldn't even speak properly. But now she is full of energy, brave, and cheerful. Especially after Youmei took the initiative to stand up for herself during the bullying incident, it was as if she had completely transformed.

Youmei also likes herself now. She attributes her change to Teacher Wang Chen and Yuno. Teacher Wang Chen taught her how to regain courage, and Yuno gave her the opportunity to use courage. Therefore, since the bullying incident, Youmei has become good friends with Yuno, often eating lunch together and going to school together.

Yuno once again replied to Youmei in a polite but slightly perfunctory manner that she would be there soon, then she got up, washed and prepared to go out.

……

Chiba Academy break time

The dull morning passed quickly. Except for a round of duty with Youmei, today's life was no different from usual. Yuno and Youmei just sat on the playground and took a lunch break.

"Huh? What is that?" Yuno suddenly noticed that some classmates were handing out flyers on the playground and asked in confusion.

"Ah, I almost forgot." After seeing this, Youmei immediately jumped up and said, "These past few days are the period when school clubs are recruiting students. Now many students are choosing suitable clubs to sign up for."

"Societies?"

"Yes, it's about clubs. Yuno-chan, you should also find a club that suits your interests and hobbies. I also have to sign up for the photography club. I'll be leaving first, Yuno-chan." Youmei left Yuno's sight in a hurry.

"Is there a club that suits my interests?" Yuno fell into deep thought.

……

"I've looked around, but I still can't find a club that suits me." Yuno looked at the dazzling array of names, but none of them were what she liked. What do you like to do most? Oh, right, grow flowers. Grow... flowers?

Yuno suddenly paused, and she recalled the scene where her best friend "Xiao Bai" was smashed to death. What happened? Why did she live like an idiot? Did the overly comfortable environment make you forget the pain? Why did she let those bad girls leave like this?

The moment she thought of Xiao Bai, Yuno once again thought of her revenge... That's right, revenge. She would not accept such a light punishment as the bullies being driven away! She would run out now, pick up a knife, find those guys, and kill them all...

As she thought about this, Yuno turned around without hesitation and tried to run out of the school.

"boom!"

"what!"

"Don't be so impatient, Yuno-san."

As soon as Yuno turned around, she ran into a figure before she could even take two steps. She almost lost her balance and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the figure reached out and grabbed Yuno's wrist, allowing her to stand firm and not fall.

Yuno raised her head and frowned when she saw the other person's face. The person who grabbed her was none other than that unusual teacher - Mr. Wang Chen.

"Even if you suddenly want to join a club, don't be so hasty. If you bump into someone, you will get hurt." Wang Chen said slowly.

"It's none of your business." Yuno whispered a few words and tried to pass by. After all, Yuno was still not used to this weird teacher Wang. However, Wang Chen said, "Huh? Just leaving like that? I thought you wanted to go to the gardening club. After all, I heard from your mother that you like to grow flowers the most."

Yuno stopped walking, turned around, and asked, "Gardening Club? Why didn't I see it?"

"Well, it's probably because they were still taking care of the flowers and plants in the afternoon. After all, this time period is the hottest time of the day. If you are not careful, the flowers and plants may lose too much water and wither due to the overheated sunlight." Wang Chen said.

"...I want to see this gardening club." Yuno said slowly.

"Okay, then come with me, I'll take you to find them." After saying that, Wang Chen took Yuno towards the courtyard.

An old house

"This was an old house where the school stored sports equipment. But later when the gymnasium was built, the equipment was moved away, but this house remained. Since the house is very big and there is dirt land all around, this became the place where their gardening club is responsible for taking care of the plants." Wang Chen said.

"In addition, the gardening club has certain requirements for joining. They don't welcome complete newcomers or careless people to join their gardening club because they all love their flowers and plants and don't want the flowers and plants they have carefully cared for to wither because of newcomers."

"Interesting..." Yuno nodded and lowered her eyebrows, uttered three words softly, then followed Wang Chen to the door of the house and watched Wang Chen push open the door.

"Hey, Teacher Wang, you finally come to see us. Who is the other one?" In the room, several girls were watering the flowers. After finishing their work, they looked towards the door and greeted Wang Chen.

"A newcomer recommended to you." Wang Chen said.

"Even if they are newcomers recommended by Teacher Wang Chen, we will still carefully screen them." A blonde girl with glasses came over, then came to Yuno holding a pot of light yellow flowers and handed it to her.

"Is this... forget-me-not?" Yuno looked at the flowers in the pot in her hand and said.

"Yes, it's actually daylily. It's very easy to grow. You just need to take care of it for seven days, and if there are no problems, you can join the gardening club." The woman said with a smile.

Chapter 40: Red Spider Lily

Yuno followed Wang Chen out holding the flower pot. Everyone in the gardening club seemed very busy. Without being disturbed, they were completely immersed in their own world, taking good care of their "friends".

Yes, Yuno recognized them, and their attitude towards these flowers and plants was the same as her attitude towards Xiaobai. Therefore, Yuno was happy to join this gardening club, but...

"New friend?" Yuno held the flowerpot high. In the breeze, the little yellow flowers seemed to nod at her.

"When you are happy, don't forget to look at the road ahead, Yuno." The voice interrupted Yuno's devotion to the little yellow flower. Wang Chen stopped Yuno and indicated that there was a tunnel ahead and asked her to cross it.

"Where is this?" Yuno discovered that Teacher Wang Chen did not take her away from the Gardening Club, but took her around and went to the back of the Gardening Club building.

"It can be considered their small garden." Wang Chen opened the small iron gate and took Yuno into the small garden that was carefully built by everyone in the gardening club.

The moment she came in, Yuno's pupils began to dilate, and the haze between her brows quietly disappeared.

"Ah..." With her mouth slightly open, the scenery in the garden, the flowers of various shapes and colors had already caught Yuno's eyes. Yuno felt that they were more beautiful than what she had seen in any flower shop before.

Perhaps most of the flowers in the book can be found in flower shops, but Yuno can tell that they are different from those in flower shops. They are like Xiaobai, full of vitality and spirituality. Each flower is infused with the heart of a student.

Suddenly, Yuno frowned again. She found a place in a corner of the garden that was not harmonious. So Yuno walked in that direction and found a blood-red flower in a dark corner. It had no green leaves and looked very charming.

"What is this?" Yuno pointed at the red flower and asked.

"Manjusaka, also known as the flower of the other shore." Wang Chen replied.

"I know it. I'm asking why it looks so listless." Yuno said.

"It may be because its owner, the president who founded the gardening club, has graduated and left." Wang Chen said, "She did not take her flowers with her, but left them here for her juniors to take care of."

"..." Yuno looked at the lonely red spider lily and said, "I want it."

"Then you should complete the test of the Gardening Club first." Wang Chen looked at the small yellow flower still in Yuno's hand, and then slowly said: "Once you take good care of 'Forget Worry', 'The Other Shore' will appear in your hands."

Yuno nodded slightly, then followed Wang Chen out of the garden holding her pot of yellow flowers. Before leaving, she looked deeply at the pot of red spider lilies and finally chose to leave.

The days that followed passed quickly, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Yuno had experience in planting and maintaining plants, and soon took good care of her own "Forget-Me-Not" and was recognized by the seniors in the Gardening Club, becoming a member of the Gardening Club. Yuno then proposed to take care of the red spider lily in the garden, and the seniors surprisingly did not have any intention of obstructing her, but instead happily gave the plant to Yuno.

So Yuno had one more thing to do every day, which was to go to the gardening community to take care of the red spider lily. But the regrettable thing was that no matter how carefully she took care of the red spider lily, although the red spider lily looked very healthy, Yuno always felt that the red spider lily lacked spirituality.

It was in sharp contrast to the forget-me-not in her hand. Yes, after passing the test, Yuno did not leave the forget-me-not that had accompanied her for seven days alone. She still kept it with her at all times, just like she had done in the previous seven days.

The fragrance of forget-me-not is very refreshing and calming, no wonder it is called forget-me-not. Therefore, Yuno puts forget-me-not by her side, which can calm her sometimes violent and crazy heart. Yuno originally disdained such a peaceful and harmonious life. Now, she unexpectedly thinks such a life is good.

Maybe, I really like this kind of life, after all, this is my nature. It's just that because of the incident with Xiaobai and the fantastic dream, I was hit too hard, so I sometimes became mentally ill, and my personality and mind became very different from before, but I couldn't explain this peaceful and comfortable environment.

"Yuno-chan has finally become a lot more cheerful." Yumi, Yuno's desk mate and nominal friend, looked at Yuno's face and said.

Yuno didn't respond, but she did realize that she had finally changed, just like her classmates. And all this was thanks to the strange teacher who brought her into the gardening club.

……

Summer has finally arrived. On this day after school, Yuno is still watering the flowers. After watering all the flowers, Yuno will pack up and go home. Suddenly, there is a knock on the door. Yuno is still wondering which senior has forgotten to take something. She hurried back and found that she forgot to bring the key. So Yuno came to the door, opened the door and said, "You forgot to take something again... It's you, Youmei."

When he opened the door, he found that the person standing outside was not the senior student from the Gardening Club, but his good friend and deskmate Youmei.

"Is this the gardening club? The flowers inside really look amazing. Just now when I was outside, I saw that the flowers outside the house looked very beautiful. Can I take a picture of those flowers?" Youmei shook the camera in her hand and said.
