Chapter 1193: Chapter 811: Investigation Begins_2 Chapter 1193: Chapter 811: Investigation Begins_2 “Still fucking using my day off?”

“Do I have to bust my ass off only to fucking write a reflection?”

At that moment, Duanmu only wanted to scrawl eight hundred words of greetings for the school leaders and teachers’ ancestors for generations and hand it in.

Truly fucking inhumane!

If you say social practice is also part of education, then have the balls to do it during class time!

How dare you take up my day off and still act all righteous?

Looking at it now, no matter the world, the era, past, present, or future, these damned schools all piss in the same pot. At least, this time they didn’t take my day off, which is somewhat conscientious, I guess.

Of course, just don’t pull some crap like cleaning in the morning and teaching in the afternoon.

Or else I’ll really start cussing.

After venting her frustrations, Duanmu Ai walked toward the park, but as she arrived at the plaza, she saw, not far away, a girl in a Shoujin uniform entangled with a middle-aged man.

“Sorry, I’m in a rush.”

The young girl blocked by the middle-aged man was obviously in a tough spot, with long brownish-red hair tied into a ponytail and a slim figure–she looked quite cute. Perhaps that was why the middle-aged man had stopped her.

However, the man was obviously not someone who could be dispatched with just a few words.

“You’re a Shoujin student, right? Violent incidents at the school don’t look too good. If you don’t mind, you can talk to me about it?”

Shameless people are truly invincible–the middle-aged man had taken this to the extreme.

“Thank you for your concern, but I really am in a hurry, so please excuse me.”

The young girl bowed politely to the man and then attempted to leave. However, the man reached out and grabbed her wrist.

“Don’t be so polite…”

“Wait, I already told you…”

Obviously, the girl had not expected him to grab her hand in front of everyone, and she began to panic, while the middle-aged man simply leaned in close to her face.

“If you’re in a hurry, then take my phone number and contact me later, that works, right?”

As he spoke, the man pushed his face closer to the girl, who tried to dodge.

“Please, don’t do this…”

Just then, suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed the middle-aged man’s wrist.

“Owwww! That hurts!!”

The grip on his wrist made the middle-aged man release the girl and look angrily to the side. Duanmu Ai stood there, watching him coldly.

“Disgusting, you think you can flirt with girls looking like that? You don’t even realize you resemble a fat pig!”

“What did you say… Ahhhh!!”

Upon hearing Duanmu Ai’s taunt, the middle-aged man was enraged and tried to shout, but in the next moment, Duanmu Ai twisted his wrist sharply, then pushed him to the ground.

“Help! Murder! Murder!”

“Keep shouting, and prepare to go to jail.”

Duanmu Ai coldly looked at the middle-aged man who she was pinning down and shouting; she spoke in a lower tone. Hearing Duanmu Ai’s words, the middle-aged man trembled and fell silent.

“Get lost, and if I see you again, I won’t let you off easily!”

“Eep–”

With Duanmu Ai releasing her grip, the middle-aged man screamed and then hurriedly left without looking back.

“Hmph, what garbage, might as well send him to the Abandoned City Development Team, see how many minutes he’d last against the Electronic Demon.”

Watching the middle-aged man’s fleeing figure, Duanmu Ai snorted coldly, then turned to the young girl next to her.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, yes, thank you so much just now.”

Hearing Duanmu Ai’s question, the girl was startled and then quickly bowed deeply in gratitude.

“It’s nothing, I just happened to pass by and see, from now on you can’t be polite to these kinds of people. The more polite you are to them, the more they will take advantage of you,” Demon said as she waved her hand casually, while the girl looked at her curiously.

“May I ask… why were you willing to help me?”

“Seeing someone in trouble and lending a hand isn’t such a big deal.”

“I see… are you here for the cleaning activity too, senior?”

“Yes, are you?”

“Yes, oh… the cleaning activity!”

At that moment, the girl seemed to remember something as she glanced at her watch and suddenly her face turned pale with shock.

“Oh no, I forgot my gym clothes at school, I’ll be heading there later. Thank you very much, senior, I must excuse myself,” she said. After her words, the girl bowed and then turned to leave in a hurry.

For Duanmu Ai, this was just a minor episode. Afterward, she arrived at the park at the scheduled time and started the cleaning work in groups divided by gender.

To Duanmu Ai, this wasn’t a bother at all. Of course, the other students did keep their distance from her. After all, Duanmu Ai wasn’t known for being approachable at school. Although she indeed possessed extraordinary charm, her cold demeanor was not exactly welcomed by everyone. Girls were somewhat better, but Duanmu would hardly engage in conversation with boys who approached her, offering only a glance that was cold enough to make them keep their distance.

Of course, the girls weren’t any better. Although Duanmu Ai got along with them somewhat okay, she found their love for gossip quite frustrating. They often ostracized others for seemingly trivial reasons.

Take Takemaki Ann for instance; because she was half-Japanese and had a good figure, she was very popular with the guys. As a result, many girls spread rumors about her trying to seduce men.

And whenever Takemaki Ann kept her distance from those boys, the girls would sarcastically mock her for acting too proud…

Ah, what can I say… if you ask Duanmu Ai, it’s that…

The homework was too little.

Try having them back in their high school days, doing homework every day until self-study at midnight, and they probably wouldn’t have the mood to gossip about these trifling matters.

In the end, it all comes down to too little homework. When people have too much free time, all sorts of issues arise.

Of course, Duanmu Ai wasn’t ostracized, but rather given a wide berth, because she didn’t seem that approachable. Not to mention Duanmu Ai had been fighting in this world for so many years; that kind of murderous intent and aura of death–maybe kids didn’t understand what that was, but instinctively they knew to avoid a dangerous beast.

As for Duanmu Ai, she didn’t mind. After all, this was just a return to the familiar trajectory of her own high school life.

“Ah, senior.”

Just as Duanmu Ai finished cleaning and was resting on a bench, she suddenly heard a voice. She opened her eyes and saw the girl she had met earlier, now wearing her gym clothes, standing next to her.

“I finally found you. Actually, I’ve been wanting to properly thank you for what happened this morning, so I’ve been looking for you.”

“You don’t need to be so formal. It was just a small effort.”

“No, even so…”

The girl paused as she looked around.

“Where are the other group members?”

“They dispersed a while ago; they probably all wanted to go home and rest.”

“I see… but I still want to thank you. Facing that situation was really more terrifying than I had anticipated…”

“That’s certainly true for most people.”

“Have you never encountered such a thing, senior?”

“Anyone who dares to do such a thing to me would have been knocked down by now.”

As she spoke, Duanmu Ai clenched her fists and waved them energetically.

“Ah haha… Oh, right, I haven’t introduced myself.”

The girl laughed as she looked at Duanmu Ai. She then hesitated as if remembering something important and stood up with respect, facing Duanmu Ai.

“I’m a first-year student, Yoko Hasezawa. Please take care of me, senior.”

As she spoke, the girl extended her hand toward Duanmu Ai. After a moment of thought, Duanmu Ai reached out and took Yoko Hasezawa’s hand.

“Second-year, Duanmu Ai. Nice to meet you.”
