Chapter 637
“Exactly what it looks like. If you dare breathe a word of this to anyone, you’ll end up in much worse shape than they are.” Mira shot Jillian and Vanessa a lethal sideways glare.
Vanessa kept her mouth shut, while Jillian immediately caved. She scrambled onto her bed and pressed her face toward the wall. “I didn’t see anything p>
That single display of brutality forced Jillian to see the girl from Melvion City in a whole new light. Her gut told her that Mira was infinitely more dangerous than Vanessa. She only sucked up to Vanessa to climb the social ladder, but she wasn’t stupid enough to put herself in the crosshairs to protect her.
Leah Monroe stepped out of the bathroom, nearly jumping out of her skin at the sight of the writhing bodies covering the floor. “Mira, what… what happened to them p>
“Just a bunch of thugs who broke in to rob us under the guise of the Student Council. They suddenly had some kind of seizure. Must be karma p>
By then, students from the neighboring dorms began poking their heads in to see what the commotion was about. “Where are they? They were throwing their weight around a minute ago, and now it’s dead silent p>
“I don’t know. I just heard a bunch of crashing and banging, and then… nothing,” whispered a girl who had snuck over to watch the drama unfold.
They peered into Mira’s room. “Ah! Why are they all thrashing around on the floor? What the hell is going on p>
“Looks like they got too worked up and… triggered some sort of massive seizure p>
“Ugh, a seizure? Serves them right. You freshmen don’t know this yet, but they constantly harass us with these ‘inspections.’ They always pick a target, and whoever gets chosen goes through hell,” a sophomore remarked.
“Well, they definitely got what was coming to them today. At least we’ll have some peace and quiet for a while p>
“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But is it really that easy to trigger a seizure? Especially in five people at once p>
“Who cares? As long as it got the job done.” The girl next to her elbowed her sharply, signaling her to drop it.
“Right, right p>
Preston Yates, the Student Council President, arrived shortly after with the head of the Sanitation Board. Dean Garrison from the disciplinary office also showed up, having been summoned by Mira herself.
She hadn’t called the cops because she wanted to save the university’s reputation. If the administration could handle it internally, she would let it sside. Aethelgard University was her alma mater now, and it wasn worth dragging the school’s name through the mud over a few bad apples.
Conveniently, the paralyzing effects of the pressure points were beginning to wear off. Mira had meticulously controlled her force during the strikes. The excruciating pain had completely drained their energy, leaving them sprawled on the floor, too weak to move or even speak.
“What on earth is going on here?” the counselor demanded.
Mira handed over the recording pen and the storage drive from her brooch, which she had prepared in advance. “These students impersonated Student Council officials and used a bogus room inspection as an excuse to break in and rob me p>
“It was five against one, so I fought back in self-defense. For some reason, they all just collapsed on the floor. Maybe they were trying to frame me for assault, or maybe they just tired themselves out p>
It was an absolute lie, and everyone knew it. Five against one? The five were practically comatose on the floor while she stood there without a single scratch on her. Still, without knowing the full story, no one dared to openly contradict her.
The Student Council’s behavior over the past few years had indeed been crossing the line, and the
administration wasn’t completely blind to it. But since there hadn’t been any major scandals, they had simply turned a blind eye. Clearly, this freshman was a force to be reckoned with, and no one wanted to end up writhing on the floor beside the bullies.
Dean Garrison turned his questioning to Vanessa and Jillian, but they both gave the exact same excuse: “We were sleeping in our beds. We didn’t see anything p>
Leah chimed in that she had been in the bathroom and was completely clueless.
Noticing the lingering doubt in the staff’s eyes, Mira pressed her advantage. “If you don’t believe me, have a doctor examine them. See if they can find a single mark on their bodies p>
The officials took Mira’s formal statement, then dragged the limping, exhausted girls out of the room.
Just before stepping into the hallway, Preston Yates turned to Mira. “You’re coming with us. You need to be officially investigated p>
