Summoned and Unwanted

526 A worrying case

*Team Ten Island*

Light flashed, and Maria arrived on the island. It didn’t take for her teacher’s card to start vibrating for a meeting with the headmaster.

*Sigh* “I can’t even ask a question without getting reported. These noble brats are all weak-hearted. ” She grumbled.

Later, Maria met with Vincent, Ester, Iris, Lilith, and Tiffi, waiting for her to arrive.

“I have arrived.” *Sigh* “I also know what the name Mirey means.” Maira shook her head and continued, *Sigh* “Why did it take me a long time to put the puzzle together?”

[Vincent, tell Maria to stop sighing and spill the beans. I want to know right now.]

-Fine, fine.-

“Teacher Maria. Can we know what you found out?” Vincent politely asked.

“The Mirey everyone is talking about is Jun Ye Rim. ” Maira answered.

.....

*Sigh* “If I remember correctly, I once heard the teacher Ming Xiao Fan mention how there was a specific way to mock an exiled elf. He later continued how saying an elf’s name backward is the same as telling them they are bad luck or cursed.” Maria explained.

*Sigh* Maria shook her head with an annoyed expression. “But I don’t care much about the various questionable elven rules. It is better to learn magic than learn other people’s nonsense.”

*Clap* “I remember my father telling me how my mother once had her name called backward, and she broke that person’s nose in a duel.” Informed Tiffi with a smile on her face.

Because of her father’s stories, Tiffi acted as if she saw her mother acting strong and cool in her dreams. It also gave Vincent and Kazumi the impression Aceon had it hard with one lively wife.

“I am sorry I couldn’t help... I only know of a few elven rules because Maid Xu doesn’t like to talk too much about the past...”

*Sigh* “Don’t worry, Lilith, not many know. I guess most of the noble brats don’t know either since the history teachers do not teach all the elven rules in the academy. ” Maria consoled Lilith while making it look like it wasn’t her fault for not knowing immediately.

[Hmm. I wonder why they are targeting Jun Ye Rim with such a malicious attack. Could it be they are picking her as the weak point to force us to participate in ranking matches?]

Vincent frowned. “So that’s why Jun Ye Rim has been acting weird and distancing herself from us. She is being mocked so that we get angry in her place. I think it is to make us participate more in ranking matches.”

“Should we stop disguising ourselves every Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday?” Asked Lilith.

“How about we find Jun Ye Rim and have a long girl talk?” Said Ester reassuringly.

Iris looked at Ester and requested, “I want to help Jun Ye Rim feel accepted. I was also the strange one in my tribe. ”

*Sigh* “It isn’t that simple, it seems. The noble brat told me how there is a rumor about Jun Ye Rim.” *Sigh* “It appearers offended an important person, and anyone treating her normally will be considered their enemies.”

“And I think no one knows who the person is. Hence it is best to do as the rumors say.” Vincent guessed.

The bearer of bad news soon approached. Nick and Clair looked somewhat uneasy when Maria looked at them with an annoyed expression.

“Vincent. The truth is...”

“We know Nick. They are badmouthing Jun Ye Rim and hope that we appear in ranking matches. It is also possible the ones I made enemies with act like little kids and spread malicious rumors.” Vincent interrupted.

“Umm... so you know...” Nick scratched the back of his head and continued, “I hope Jun Ye Rim isn’t depressed from the rumor of being a causal woman that slept with dozens of students and collected a portion of their souls for her Soulmancer Class.”

[WHAT!] “WHAT!” Everyone other than Maria and the two new bearers shouted.

*Tsk* Maria clicked her tongue. “It looks like I have to have a chat with teacher Darwin.”

Maria shortly teleported with a frown. She didn’t want to meet with Darwin so soon, but she also had something to say to him.

“We girls need to talk to Jun Ye Rim.” Ester suggested.

“I will come too.” Iris agreed in a heartbeat.

“Is that another part of the truth surrounding Jun Ye Rim’s strange actions? If so, we need to talk to her post haste.” Lilith encouraged.

“I will come too!” *Pho*

[I will leave with the girls too.] Kazumi said before leaving Vincent’s body.

Just before Vincent was going to say, “But is Jun Ye Rim in her bedroom?” The girls left in a hurry to seek the truth.

“I will go too.” Said Clair before leaving.

Vincent and Nick looked at each other. Both had a peeved expression on their faces since someone they knew was being mocked to a high malicious level.

*Rustle* The leaves of a nearby tree rustled, and a figure jumped down from a tree.

“What is happening, my mate?” Asked Lupa curiously. She looked at Nick doing nothing and grinned. “How about we spar while Vivid is resting?”

“Hehe... today is rather a busy day... ” *Grab* “Okay, you win! I will follow you. Please stop pulling my hand.”

“Humph! You ran away the other time. This time I will not let go of my prey...” *Cough* “I mean sparring partner.”

Vincent placed his hands together and prayed for Nick. He was going to be busy keeping up with Lupa’s obsessiveness.

*Rustle* Vincent moved his gaze after thinking Lupa had forgotten to say something. Instead, he saw Jun Ye Rim trying to leave quietly.

“Did you hear everything we said?”

Jun Ye Rim nodded.

“Do you want to talk about it? As you heard, everyone is worried about you.”

Jun Ye Rim shook her head. The expression on her face looked sad and lonely.

*Sigh* “I know the name Mirey is an insult to you, but I honestly find the name cute.”

Jun Ye Rim was disconcerted to hear Vincent speak such words. She held her uniform with a pair of fidgety hands and acted as if his words hurt her, yet the blush on her cheeks gave the impression of being somewhat happy.

“So, do you want to speak? As you think, were are alone here. Kazumi went with the others to your bedroom.” Vincent offered, hoping to get some response this time.

Jun Ye Rim averted her gaze and responded, “... as you are seeing, I’m fine.” While she said this, her hand unintentionally touched her belly.

“Did you get hurt?” Asked Vincent out of worry.

Although Vincent’s relationship with Jun Ye Rim was all over the place without an actual destination, he felt the urge to help. Vincent wanted Jun Ye Rim’s smile to return.

Jun Ye Rim shook her head and started walking away.

Vincent focused his gaze and checked her status window. His brows frowned, and his face contorted with anger after reading the conditions status row.

.

[Name] Jun Ye Rim

[Condition] Minor Injury, Minor Bruising, Bone Damage (Medium Fractures – Left Arm), Nerve Damage (Partly Paralyzed – Left Arm)

.

“Fine, my ass!” Vincent angrily shouted.

Vincent ran in front of Jun Ye Rim and requested, “Show me your belly.”

Jun Ye Rim was flustered. She anxiously shook her head and refused to reveal her skin.

“Do you want me to undress you again? I know you have bruises. I checked after your hand tried to hide your belly.” Vincent revealed how he knew Jun Ye Rim had bruises. Only all their locations, the amount, and how bad they were were what Vincent didn’t know.

Jun Ye Rim trembled in front of Vincent. *Gulp* Her cheeks reddened as the blouse was being lifted. Shortly, her belly was revealed, and a fist-sized purple bruise was revealed to be in the middle of her belly.

“Jun Ye Rim... I feel hurt, no... everyone feels hurt.” Vincent said in a sorrowful tone. He shook his head and sighed. “I thought we all had become closer to you, but when you are getting bullied, you decided to stay far away from us.”

*Sigh* Vincent facepalmed and asked, “Did you think we couldn’t handle a few noble trash? Is that all the amount of trust you have in us? Did you think we were going to abandon you at first sight of trouble?”

“Stop it!” Jun Ye Rim shouted. Tears trickled from her eyes while her deep, pitch black eyes trembled as if she wanted to cry.

Jun Ye Rim saw Vincent open his arms and start approaching her. “Don’t come close!” She requested.

“Jun Ye Rim... I can only help you now because Lilith and I will not attend the academy after this year. I have to know and put the noble trash in their places before I leave you with Nick and Clair.” Vincent honestly said from the heart.

Vincent closed his eyes and focused on Jun Ye Rim in front of him. His intent control soon felt Jun Ye Rim as if he was touching her.

“Soul Power Minor Heal.” He said while opening his eyes and turning to the opposite side.

[-20sp used for Soul Power Minor Heal on Jun Ye Rim. 940sp Remaining.]

.

Jun Ye Rim felt tired after her body stopped shining green. She lowered her gaze, and she could barely feel any pain left from the bruises on her body. She even felt her arm feel a little better.

“Jun Ye Rim, I will leave you alone to cry or mope. But I hope you can tell me to whom I should give a new purple-colored tattoo. My artful fist is itching to paint on an empty arrogant canvas.” Vincent said while leaving.
