Leuko : Blind to the Sunshine

Chapter 38: Friendship is Bitter

Chapter 38: Friendship is Bitter

The moment Luciel left the room, the oppression everyone felt started to reduce and was starting to dissipate.

Sabrina, who had to stay frozen on the table, was suddenly able to move again, but she only used it to go back to her chair and to continue eating, as if nothing had happened.

But the same couldn't be said about Acerola, who fell onto her knee as she was finally able to breathe freely. "Kha kha couph...aaaah..." Despite being able to deduce what was happening and thus breathe despite her brain sending absolutely no signal to do so, she still suffered from the experience as it felt like the air inside her lungs felt completely lost.

But despite this experience, she was able to deduce more precisely what happened. '...he doesn't control other instinct...he just steals the sense of touch of our nervous system, which makes all of the actions that are usually regulated automatically by our brain null. And this aura...that just him augmenting the sensitivity of our amygdala...did the ghosts lie to me?' She briefly considered this possibility before shaking her head. 'No, the most obvious answer is that the Traitor lied to them...or maybe he was just wrong?'

But she didn't have more time to consider all the possibilities when a ghost suddenly warned her of someone jumping toward her, but the signal was too late, which made her unable to dodge the assault of a certain blond girl.

"Why did you do that you idiot!" Acerola was immediately slammed against the ground, and Cynthia made sure that she wouldn't be able to get up by sitting on her while grabbing her collar.

The whole room gasped when they saw a sudden new fight right after the previous disaster.

But despite the situation, Acerola only looked annoyed, as she looked at Allister for help, but she was soon even more disappointed when she saw only anger when he looked at her. Which was enough for her to understand that he wouldn't translate for her this time.

Of course she could easily escape from Cynthia, but she just didn't feel like passing through her disgusting soul of living.

'I guess I have no other choice but to listen to their ugly voice.' After a sigh, she put back her soul to the mortal world, finally letting her understand what Cynthia was even saying.

'Tch, it's too warm here.'

"Luciel is now in pain because of you, so how can you dare to act as if you were the one who got the worst out of it! I would tell you the be ashamed of yourself, but I don't think you even know what it means!"

Cynthia's scream was only met with Acerola's deadpan expression. "I made myself able to listen to you just to hear your word, and you make sure to use the worst possible sentence of your life? At this point, you should just die to make sure it doesn't become your second worst."

Her answer was only met with the ground as, as Cynthia made sure to slam her head to the ground once more. "Well what does it say about you? Mistress of the dead isn't even able to notice that someone would prefer your death than giving away his friend! The only death thing you are able to control is your common sense it seems!"

The other student looked at each other as if they wanted to stop the conflict, but a wave of had of a certain green-haired archon made everyone's motivation to stop it disappear.

Acerola was about to comment about the pain in her head, but Cynthia's insult hurt her even more than the impact on the ground. "How was I supposed to know that he wouldn't care that I was an Archon and just decide to attack me! No one is supposed to attack me for such a little matter, and you dare to insult my common sense! At least I'm not a danger to others like him...or you for the matter!"
