"Do not."

"what?"

"I won't give you any money."

This time, Shino Asada's voice was more resolute than ever before. This time, she would never compromise with these thugs again. She had become stronger, stronger than before, and would never be easily defeated again.

"What kind of look is that! How dare you refuse me..."

Endo approached Asada Shino with a fierce look in her eyes; she always faced Asada Shino with this intimidating attitude. Who would have thought that these seemingly normal girls could reveal such a fierce side?

Ugly and treacherous.

"Get out of my way, don't block my path."

Asada Shino said.

Her voice was low, and Endo and the others didn't actually do anything; all they did was intimidate and threaten.

However, even without physical assault.

Endo also grasped Asada Shino's greatest weakness, and attacking that weakness was the act of the most cunning person.

Endo's face revealed a mocking smile.

She slowly raised her right hand and then extended her index finger, mimicking the action of a gun.

These actions, which seem childish and ridiculous to others on ordinary days, are actually Asada Shino's biggest weakness, and she trembles incessantly.

His eyes were full of fear.

Her entire body gradually lost its balance, and Asada Shino almost fell. Her vision also became blurry, and her eyesight became increasingly indistinct.

Asada Shino felt like the whole world was about to disappear.

All she could see was Endo's finger pointing at the gun, and her heartbeat grew stronger and faster, while the tinnitus in her ears grew louder and louder.

"boom!"

Endo imitated the sound of a gunshot.

Asada Shino screamed and collapsed to the ground. Her body trembled more and more rapidly.

"Asada—"

"I have a replica of one of these. Want me to bring it to you next time? You'll definitely like it, right? A pistol... hahahaha..."

Asada Shino wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't utter a single word.

It was as if they had lost the ability to speak.

She opened her mouth in vain.

The chill seeped into Asada Shino's entire body, causing her to tremble violently, the trembling growing stronger and stronger... The chill erupted within her like a flood.

Asada Shino shook her head weakly.

This is her eternal nightmare, one she feels she can never escape.

Her mind kept replaying that horrific scene from five years ago, over and over again... That bloody scene engulfed her like a torrent of blood.

gradually.

Shino Asada clutched her stomach, which was convulsing.

The body is shaky.

It might collapse at any moment.

She held on with great difficulty, a voice deep inside her telling her that she absolutely could not fall here, and she absolutely could not compromise with anyone.

She needs to overcome her past fears and anxieties.

To become powerful.

Only by becoming stronger can we move step by step into the future; we must never be bound by the past.

Asada Shino's body was out of control; the nightmare that haunted her every day kept replaying in her mind, over and over again... countless times.

"No way? Is he about to throw up?"

Endo looked at Asada Shino with a mocking expression, his eyes devoid of any pity or sympathy, instead displaying a gloating air. This was a typical case of school bullying, which generally arises from a variety of reasons.

One issue is the inadequate governance of the campus as an educational institution.

Secondly, there are factors related to the students themselves. Their minds are not yet mature, their judgment of things is often vague, and they cannot distinguish between truth, goodness, and beauty, and falsehood, evil, and ugliness.

There are also many other reasons, such as family education and human nature.

Endo is a typical example of someone who cannot distinguish between good and evil.

"If you need to vomit, stay away from me. I don't want to get my clothes dirty."

Endo took a few steps back in disgust.

"You're the kind of person who's really annoying."

"It's so embarrassing and conspicuous."

"Hahahaha... Look at how scared and cowardly she is."

These high school girls, who should have been beautiful young women, let out ugly, mocking laughter.

"Get away... get away..."

Asada Shino still couldn't utter a single word.

She also wanted to escape.

They wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

She didn't want to hear their mocking laughter, but it was like an insidious germ, seeping into her mind.

"Aren't we good friends? Friends should help each other, right? Now is the best moment to witness our friendship."

Endo's eyes were filled with greed.

Asada Shino simply had no ability to resist Endo.

Asada Shino was completely limp and powerless.

only--

What torments Asada Shino the most right now are those memories, those memories that Endo has stirred up. She has a splitting headache and her whole body is in pain.

Just as Asada Shino was about to despair, she heard a voice drifting from afar.

"Over here! Officer, quick!"

That was a loud shout.

Endo looked warily into the distance, while the other three were also startled and quickly turned around and fled.

Asada Shino's breathing was still erratic.

She was panting heavily, almost fainting.

Has Endo already left?

Shino Asada didn't want anyone to see her disheveled state, so she desperately tried to regulate her breathing, barely managing to suppress the fear and anxiety in her heart.

"Asada."

A timid voice sounded beside her, and Asada Shino could vaguely see a figure in her vision.

She was still not fully conscious.

She struggled to her feet.

"Asada, are you alright?"

A slender boy helped Asada Shino up. He was wearing a casual pullover, carrying an ordinary backpack, and wearing a black baseball cap. His face still had a touch of childishness.

A young face, yet with a pair of mature eyes.

It's him.

He was the only person who had no hostility or dislike towards Asada Shino; he was the only one who could be called a friend.

Asada Shino managed to force a smile, but her voice still trembled slightly.

“I’m alright now. Thank you, Shinkawa-kun.”

Asada Shino gazed into the distance.

"Why are you all alone?"

"Yes, I was lying to them."

Kyoji Shinkawa smiled somewhat embarrassedly. The alley behind her was empty, with no one else around. "I only remembered a scene from a TV drama in a moment of panic, so I used this method. But... I'm so glad that you were able to get out of trouble."

Asada Shino shook her head somewhat helplessly.

"Thanks for your help, but why are you here?"

"I ran into the teacher at the game center and wanted to sneak out through the back door... The back door is in this alley."

A hint of shyness appeared on Shinkawa Kyoji's face.

There is indeed a back door to the game center in this alley, and the little gray door is well hidden.

"Are you really alright, Asada...?"

"I'm fine, thank you so much."

Asada Shino forced a smile, which made Shinkawa Kyoji a little embarrassed, though he still looked worried.

"Asada, do they often bully you like this?"

"Although I have no right to interfere in your affairs... however... this kind of person should not be tolerated. Should we tell the teacher?"

"That's useless. They wouldn't care about such trivial matters. Don't think that this world... heh..."

Asada Shino looked at Shinkawa Kyoji and smiled helplessly.

The sheer helplessness in that smile speaks volumes about the hardships Asada Shino has endured.

I was deceived time and time again.

I was bullied time and time again.

Repeated injuries accumulate over time. Each injury is built upon a foundation of a scarred body and soul. Thus, Asada Shino was pushed step by step into the abyss, only falling into despair if she hadn't struggled against it.

It was truly reduced to dust.

Mental breakdown.

A once adorable child has been driven to this point by rumors and unfounded gossip. It is truly a tragedy and an absurd reality.

As the old saying goes, "Three men can make a tiger."

The Warring States Policy, Wei Policy II: "It is clear that there are no tigers in the market, yet three people saying so can make it seem like there are tigers."

This means that three people falsely reported that there was a tiger in the market, and the listeners believed it to be true.

This metaphor illustrates that repeated misinformation can lead to falsehoods being passed off as truth.

How many people, crushed by rumors or moral blackmail, choose to end their precious lives?

There is a saying that goes well.

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

"But you should be careful; those people are definitely not to be trifled with."

"I'm fine."
