The school bell rang once again. After the students' clock hit exactly 12 p.m. School was over, and everyone quickly packed their bags to go home, after having to go through two more classes after recess. Right now, Cẩm Đan felt quite hungry, so she invited Keyla to eat with her.
Cẩm Đan: Hey Keyla! Suddenly I feel so hungry, how about we go eat now?
Keyla: Nah! If you want to eat, go alone, I'm really tired today.
Cẩm Đan: Oh! Then I won't go either, let's hang out another time.
Keyla: Okay.
While the two were talking, a water bottle flew from behind and hit Cẩm Đan straight on the head, making her dizzy and clutching her head in pain. She immediately turned around to see who did it. The person who kicked that bottle at her head was none other than the school's thug, Riccardo. He and she had never liked each other, and the reason they hated each other was:
A few months ago. At this magic academy, there were many competitions, including a running race between the two. This guy was said to be a fast runner. But unexpectedly, he was easily defeated by Cẩm Đan. That made him extremely bitter and he kept a grudge day after day, so when he saw Cẩm Đan walking in front of him like this, and since he was already in a bad mood, he didn't hesitate to kick the water bottle at her head.
This made Cẩm Đan very angry when he threw the bottle at her like that, so she got mad and shouted:
Cẩm Đan: Hey! You crazy little jerk! Was it you who kicked this water bottle at my head or what?!
But it seemed like he didn't care about her question at all. He just kept looking with his gang for something, very focused and visibly angry. Seeing him ignoring her made her even more furious, and she immediately threw the bottle back into his face. The throw was quite strong, knocking him backward and causing his nose to bleed. Her aggressive act startled his friends, who rushed over to help him up and started asking:
Cyrus: Hey! Are you okay?
Noland: Does it hurt a lot?
Kano: Hey! Say something!
Boniface: Don't stay silent like that!
Isaac: Can you still stand?
Jasper: Let me help you up?
Riccardo immediately turned his furious gaze toward Cẩm Đan, knowing no one else could have done this. So he shouted:
Riccardo: Oh you wild girl! Why the heck did you throw it so hard?! Do you know how much it hurts?!
Cẩm Đan: Wow! This is the first time I've met a guy like you — so uncultured and rude. I should be the one saying that to you! Clearly, you started this with me first!
Riccardo: Yeah, I started it! So what? What can you do to me?!
Jasper: That's right! Don't talk trash to him like that, got it?
Alden: Besides, do you even know who you're messing with? Do you know who he is?
Cẩm Đan: I don't care who the heck he is! All I know is he's some loser who just picked a fight with me, got it?
Riccardo: This girl's got guts, huh! How about I teach you a lesson, tough girl?
Cẩm Đan: I dare you! Come at me and show me what you've got!
She quickly raised her hand, grabbed Riccardo's collar. And with her other hand, she raised a fist and aimed it straight at Riccardo's face. Seeing this, Keyla panicked and grabbed Cẩm Đan's arm, hurriedly trying to calm her down:
Keyla: Please calm down a bit! If you punch him, it's going to be a serious problem!
Riccardo: Get off me, girl! This has nothing to do with you, so hush it! Let's see what she can really do.
Cẩm Đan: Yeah! Keep your eyes open and watch! I'm gonna smash your arrogant little face, tough guy!
Just as she raised her fist, ready to punch him in the face, suddenly, Cyrus spotted the person they'd been looking for to settle the score. So he shouted:
Cyrus: Hey guys! That demon guy's over there!
They all immediately turned around when they heard Cyrus shout:
Alden: Hey! That's really him, guys!
Kano: You're not getting away!
Isaac: Chase him, quick!
Boniface: Don't let him escape no matter what!
Riccardo: I'll let you go this time, girl!
Without resolving anything, Riccardo and his gang rushed off after the other guy, leaving Cẩm Đan furious and chasing after them. Fearing she would cause more trouble with her hot temper, Keyla quickly used both hands to hold Cẩm Đan tightly so she couldn't move.
Keyla: Hey! That's enough. Stop causing trouble, I'm begging you.
The more tightly Keyla held her, the more violently she struggled.
Cẩm Đan: No way! Let me go, Keyla! I need to give those clowns a proper beating or I won't be satisfied!
And so, the two struggled with each other for quite a while before Cẩm Đan finally gave up.
