Chapter 20: Chapter Twenty: Bullies are a threat
The students who had been on the queue for a long time was dragged out of their position and the six students who had just arrived took their foods in place of them.
“Gosh, those guys won’t stop with their crazy behavior.” Zoe complained. “They have been like this since high school, always bullying one student and the other. I hate them like hell.”
“Can’t the teachers or soldiers stop them?” Kevin said.
“Stop what? Even if they interfere, that doesn’t mean they won’t repeat what they did before.” Reed said.
“Back in our high school, those guys bullies every students. They are so adamant with the act that they had once bullied a teacher and the admin had no other option but to call for their parents, as they had plans of suspending the students. But when their parents came, they happened to be the wives of the six leaders of the six elven villages.” Dan explained. “Of the truth, a meeting was held between the six parents and with the admins, but the next thing we noticed was the six bullies were told to return back into the class. But ever since that day, we’ve never seen the teacher that was bullied again. And till we finished our high school, the six elves were not suspended and they kept on with their bullying, how stupid.”
“Really? I don’t know something like that happens in schools. I’ve never experience anyone being bullied in my school, nor have I been bullied.” Lexa blurted out, while her hands ran down her long purple hair.
“That’s because you’ve never experienced it. And your school consists of only rich kids, there wouldn’t be a bully who would be a bother to you anyway.” Reed said as he stepped a bit forward as the queue moved.
.....
Kevin had been silent ever since the four students have been talking. He has never attended an high school so he didn’t know much about bullies. He never knew something like that even existed nor could exist in such a school as this mage academy. He couldn’t believe that there are bullies as wicked as this, in the academy, a school where he thought there was discipline and morality. Although he had met a bully yesterday, he didn’t think he was a bully. It might be maybe because he didn’t know much about what a bully could do. But now that Dan had explained it, he understood how much of a threat a bully is to the society.
“I guess the academy will fail to discipline the bullies just as the admins of your high school had failed to suspend the bullies of your school.” Kevin finally said and Lexa who was in the queue, in front of him had shook her head positively as she took a quick glance at him.
Kevin couldn’t understand, why did she gave him that glance? Is it what he said or what could it be?
At long last, the queue got to the turn of the five students and they finally got to receive their foods. After which they all went inside the canteen to sit around a table. But as they were eating in the canteen, they all noticed something.
A few metres away from where the Kevins’ are, were seated about twenty two students all dressed in hoodies. The six bullies who Kevin had saw outside were in red coloured hoodies while another four of them are in yellow coloured hoodies. And about twelve of the students had black hoodies on them. They were all playing Whot cards and it seems like they had all finished eating.
It wasn’t the cards they were playing but the immense amount of noise they were making that drew everyone’s attention.
“Gosh these guys are so noisy.” Lexa said as she rose up to challenge the students but Dan had quickly pushed her back into her seat.
“What are you trying to do?” Dan asked with a frown, he was holding Lexa’s hands so tightly that she wasn’t able to move her hands.
“Why? Don’t you see how much noise they are making, if no one would challenge them, I would.” Lexa answered as she rose up once again.
“Is it because you’re the daughter of a noble? You think everything can be done with your affluence?” Dan unexpectedly blurted out, causing Lexa’s brows to furrow. She immediately snatched her hands away from him and stared deadly at him.
“How dare you say that!” Lexa shouted, causing everyone, including the bullies to glance towards her.
“Lexa calm down, I didn’t meant it that way.” Dan tried to calm her down but she was way too angry to listen.
She shifted her gaze from Dan to the noisy bullies who had caused it all. Despite the quarrel that was going on between Lexa and Dan, the bullies still continued with their noisy chit chat and game. Lexa had then pointed a finger towards them.
“You guys are so noisy, can’t you go play them in your rooms!” Lexa shouted with anger but as if the students were intentionally trying to provoke her, they increased the volume of their noise.
Lexa have had enough of this, she picked up a cup of water and went towards the student that stood closer to her. While Kevin was busy watching the quarrels that was coming from his right and left, something had suddenly sounded in his mind.
“I hate being ignored.” Lexa uttered as she raised her hands and poured the cup of water that was in her hands on the boy’s body.
