Rebirth Of The Heroine

Chapter 131: Rules

Mia, Robin, and Xander were being escorted by the second-year students to a separate part of the school. The school was split into different sections and the second-year building was separate from the first years. This meant the second-year students didn't really interact with the first-year students.

"Shouldn't we just run?" Whispered Robin

"It might just make the situation worse, if they were going to do something to us they would have waited until we were on our own." Mia replied, "It seems like they did this in public intentionally, as if to make a statement to all the other low levels."

After walking for a while longer they had eventually arrived at their destination. It was down one of the sides of the second-year buildings, there were a few second-year students who were walking past but the place was relatively quiet.

Sitting down just outside of the building on the staircase, was a tall woman with brown hair wrapped in a ponytail.

"We brought them here as you have asked Mono." One of the second-year students said.

"You guys can leave," Mono replied as she stood up from the staircase.

The second-year students did as they were told and quickly left them to be on their own.

"It seems there have been rumours going around of a high tier student hanging around with a bunch of low tier students."

Mia then noticed Mono's wristwatch which had the number 6 written on it.

"Is it against the rules?" Xander asked.

Mono started to laugh.

"Not quite but there are some unwritten rules of the academy." Mono then walked over to Mia. "You see the moment you start treating this trash like they are useful to society, they start to get a big head."

Now that Mono was close enough to Mia, Mia was able to use her Inspect skill but when she tried casting it the status screen that appeared was blurry, it looked like the status screen itself was melting and all the information was unreadable.

"Is it because I'm out in the sun?" Mia thought.

"Look at this bitch." Mono said, "I'm only a few feet away from her and there isn't even an ounce of fear in her eyes. Do you think I can't do anything to you because you're a lady. You know I'm happy that the war started because it got rid of people like you and only the strong survived."

Mia's blood started to boil, she hated the way mono was talking it was like she was being grateful for the loss of people that had died, and Mia would make sure she corrects her. She no longer cared if she was going to take a beating or not, all she wanted to do was punch Mono in the face right there and then.

At this distance even if Mia's punch was slow it should still hit. Mia couldn't hold in her anger any longer and threw out a punch but before Mia's punch was even thrown out fully, Mono had already taken a step back causing Mia's fist to hit the air.

Xander then took this chance to grab onto Mono. However, once again Mono had moved before Xander had even started his action, causing Xander to grab nothing.

"You think I'm going to let someone touch me whose ability I don't even know," Mono said. "I didn't come here to fight you guys, today was just a warning, there are some people in this school that not even the military can touch and if you continue acting this way, they will get involved."

With that, Mono headed back up the stairs and into the second-year building.

"Do you think she's serious?" Robin asked, "I know at school they didn't like this type of stuff but it seems even worse now that we're in a military school, why don't the teachers do something to stop it."

"Because it works in their favour." Mia replied, "The strong bullying the weak causes the weak to go on the path to find more power, but if you were weak to begin with and don't have the family backing to help you, where would you go to get this power?"

"The military," Xander answered.

"Exactly, the teachers and the school don't do anything because it benefits them. After experiencing hell for two years your mind will have been broken down. You would do anything to seek power and protection and the military can offer that for you." Mia said. She had gained a lot from the newspaper and novels that she borrowed from the library.

Mia then looked at Xander.

"it might be best if we comply with their wishes and go our separate ways for now." Mia said, touching Xander's soft cheek.

"Why should I listen to them!" Xander snapped back.

The outburst surprised Mia as Xander was strangely against her suggestion.

"Look, I understand Xander that you might think you are helping me and Robin but maybe you don't understand because you've never been powerless like us. When we break their rules they won't go for you, it will be me and Robin they will go for."

Mia hate to say this to Xander, after all, Xander was the first person who has a high-power level who didn't discriminate between people and so far Xander's presence had helped. Whenever Mia and Robin walked around the higher levels, they did nothing to them because of Xander.

But this had only attracted bigger fish, something that Xander and Mia couldn't handle, at least, not yet anyway.

"Fine, have it your way!" Xander said with anger as he stormed off back to the dorm building.

"Maybe we should have explained it to him better," Robin said.

"No, it's fine it's better this way," Mia replied.

Although it looked like Xander had stormed off in anger due to Mia's words, that wasn't true at all. Xander was angry at the whole situation at the school. Even here it seemed like people were telling him how he should live his life, who he could, and who he could not hang out with.

Xander also didn't want Mia to get hurt so he knew it was the right choice, but Xander wasn't going to just let these people get away with trying to control his life. Xander was going to go after them all.
