Chapter 200: Guilty as Charged
"We are from the western region, but we know a lot about this city, from the remote to the famous. Do you girls want to be somewhere, we know a good place. So, you--" Thom leaned his hand on the wall beside the girls. He seemed to be acting cool with a charming smile.
It was the umpteenth time Elysia and Elena heard the nonsense words of these two male students. With kindness and generosity, Elysia gave no longer than two minutes for all these meaningless conversations.
Unfortunately, the one minute she told Elena was up, it was time for Elysia and Evelyn to excuse themselves to leave for whatever reason.
"Hmm-hmm, that sounds good. But please forgive us, someone\'s been waiting for us." Elysia immediately interrupted without caring about politeness. She ignored Elena\'s tweet about bees or whatever.
"Oh, yes, it\'s not good to keep someone waiting. Then, we won\'t be holding you any longer. Nice chatting with you." Jerry nudged Thom\'s arm to stop his friend from babbling.
"Then we\'ll excuse ourselves. Let\'s go, Eve." Elysia gave a slight tug to the girl who was holding her hand.
"En." Evelyn just nodded without saying much. She seemed not to like her usual self.
"...Haha, after this a battle of strength in weightlifting. I want to know how much weight you can lift with your thin body. Hey, Brian, where are you going? Are you scared and want to run?" Ashton threw a sneer as Brian suddenly dashed towards the other direction at the hallway intersection.
"A hero is needed to save the day." Brian just said that while running. He was also followed by his faithful vassal. David realized what his boss meant without the need for this and that.
"What?" Ashton didn\'t immediately understand that. He glanced at the two people and suddenly realized where they were going.
The two girls seemed to be cornered by two bullies at a distance of not more than ten meters ahead. No wonder Brian said that.
Without wasting any more time, he also rushed to the scene. Teaching two stupid boys about life weren\'t bad, his gleaming muscles felt a little itchy.
"Yo."
"Hey."
Brian and David grabbed the shoulders of two male students who they thought were bullies.
"Hah?"
"Who are you?"
Reflexively, Thom and Jerry turned backwards after slapping the hand that was on their shoulder.
At that moment, Elysia and Evelyn didn\'t even turn their heads when they had walked a few steps. The two girls just continued their steps as if running away right after they broke free from the barrage of nonsense.
"Hoho, you are asking who we are? It\'s funny, you two are cornering the girls, eh? Ahem, I can\'t tolerate such impoliteness. Prepare for the trouble." Brian immediately cleared his throat. The two girls he wanted to mention just walked away without prior notice.
"And make it double." David firmly nodded as he folded his arms like an adjutant.
"Oh, wow, you don\'t act like men. That\'s not doable, you need to learn how to be a real man." Ashton also joined the case as a defender of the truth.
Instinctively, Elysia stopped her footsteps, and so did Evelyn. However, the former was because the sentence she heard sounded funny, while the latter was because of her best friend.
The two of them turned around to find out and only to see three male students wearing shorts and tank tops. The three of them had business with Thom and Jerry for some reason.
"Eh? Elysia and Evelyn? Cough, did you guys just get bullied by these two bullies? I saw you were being cornered earlier." Brian immediately started acting like a cool guy after the two girls turned around.
He didn\'t pay much attention to the two girls despite the feeling he knew them. It was thanks to his focus on upholding justice.
Elysia glanced at Evelyn, and the latter did the same. Then, she looked at the other students who were just watching from a certain distance and landed her gaze back on the boys\' issue.
"Hey, what do you mean by calling us bullies? Even if you are three and we are two, that doesn\'t mean you can accuse us just like that." Thom defended himself without delay. He didn\'t like being called that.
"Yeah, that\'s right. Brian, David, and Ashton... You shouldn\'t jump to conclusions if you don\'t know anything. What really happened was just my friend and me talking to two fairies in our class." Jerry frowned as he confirmed his friend\'s statement.
"Huh!? You turn out to be students in the same class as me, hmm. It\'s just excuses and gibberish, you think someone will believe that when the real thing shows you two cornered two girls on this wall." Ashton frowned as he patted the wall beside him.
He didn\'t remember all the students in his class, but what he heard from these two students was nothing more than an empty excuse.
"Oh, wow. You conclude it just like that and accuse us foolishly? What grudge do we have for the three of you, huh? It\'s obvious we just had a good conversation with Miss Elysia and Miss Evelyn." Thom clapped his hands in amazement, but what he threw down was the insult.
"That\'s ridiculous, you can ask Miss Evelyn or Miss Elysia the truth that we are innocent. Do you think you are great at these baseless accusations?" Jerry folded his arms across his chest as if he didn\'t want to lose to David and Ashton.
Hearing that, the five male students who argued immediately turned their heads towards the two girls in question. They were waiting for the testimony of these two girls who would surely tell the truth as victims.
"Ely, what are we going to say?" Evelyn whispered softly and shook her best friend\'s hand a little.
Elysia was somewhat dissatisfied because she and her friend freed themselves from the constant chatter without the help of a scapegoat to serve as an excuse. So, more or less, this case didn\'t have much to do with her or Evelyn anymore. It was only a problem and misunderstanding between the five male students.
Even so, she didn\'t want to play them against each other or anything. She had to explain something to reconcile the atmosphere.
"Ah, haha... Just a moment ago, we were cornered there when Mr. Thom and Mr. Jerry. They--" Elysia answered somewhat cautiously as a victim and witness.
Unfortunately, she couldn\'t finish her statement because her words were cut off just there because she paused for a moment... Only a very, very brief moment.
"Hmph! The facts have been revealed, and the sinner has been confirmed by the witnesses." Brian snorted with a pretty decent declaration. He immediately grabbed the guilty student\'s shoulder.
"Guilty as charged, your reasons cannot be justified. Moral teaching is urgently needed." David announced the charges against the defendants like a judge in a district court.
"So that you don\'t bother the innocent girls, you will come with us to the real men\'s club. There, you will find out what that means from a real man and proud muscles." Ashton showed off his arm muscles proudly while clutching another student\'s shoulder so he wouldn\'t run away.
"Ah, hey..." Elysia complained, but her voice was ignored and lost to the others.
"Wait! What did you say with that? Miss Elysia hasn\'t even finished her words yet!" Thom grumbled with a slight grimace. The grip on his shoulders was quite firm than before.
Before anyone could speak again, Ashton suddenly looked back. He knew his club seniors were approaching when considered from the footsteps that were heard.
"Seniors, we\'ve got two fresh blood for moral and muscular training at our club! They need some insight into muscle beauty and more." Ashton exclaimed enthusiastically. He would let these two skinny men know what the hellish training means.
These two losers dared to bother the girl he respected. A great thing would await them at the club later. He grinned cruelly inside his mind.
"Oh! That\'s a good thing. New recruits mean great aspiring warriors. Welcome to the bodybuilding club, yo juniors." Marcus showed off his proud chest muscles when he spoke. It could even slightly move and twitch a little.
"Haha, I thought you guys were going to fight. It\'s not good to fight without a good reason. But, I think I was wrong." Mario laughed out loud as he patted Ashton\'s arm.
All he saw was Ashton and Brian embracing the shoulders of the two new recruits with smiles. So, he just considered himself mistaking the situation.
At that moment, Thom and Jerry became scared silly and could not say much. Several cruel-looking seniors with large muscular bodies came closer like a group of executioners.
"Hoho, then what are we waiting for? We have a list of events to do." Brian dragged the suddenly limp male student away with ease.
"Although it\'s hard to admit, this time I agree with you, the pretentious boy." Ashton also dragged the other boy, but in a different method than Brian. He believed that he had left a good impression in the eyes of these two beauties.
"Alright, Elysia, Evelyn, everything is settled. Have a nice day, haha..." After saying that, Brian left the scene with his fellow club members.
Ashton didn\'t even say anything to the two girls. He had confidence that a hero or savior would arrive on time uninvited and leave without saying goodbye.
"Sigh, they left, and my words were ignored." Elysia let out a soft sigh as the group that came and went like gusts of wind immediately rushed away.
