Unbridled

Two months passed and the silver haired young man taught her students many logical and life learning lessons that she had to teach.

Quin stopped her on the way, "Follow me. We have an instructors' meeting today. I forgot to inform you last week due to my busy schedule and I can't keep up with you," he explained as he escorted Chun to the conference room.

In truth, Chun and her students came back from their outdoor lesson last week because these passed weeks she wanted her students to experience the nature of a live case environtment, what meant to be on real pressure and working with a professional investigation team.

Flashback.

TwinCity Continent

Vanette Island City

The seven students and their handler were now on another city, an island city known for the wealthy families' paradise. It is a city within an island, separated from the TwinCity continent but still part of its territory. A hundred miles away from Willow City so Chun and her students travelled three times, by plane, train and lastly by boat. The expenses were taken care by the school because this was a training field trip approved by the headmaster.

The live case that they were about to handle was just a simple suicide case. It may seemed simple but things did not went to normal.

Detective Petrac Link known as Detective Link was a friend of Chun's father and an uncle to Chun. Detective Link allowed the silver haired young man and her students to partake on a suicide case because it was not really labelled as a high confidentiality level.

The suicide case was related to a senior student at Ferto Mari Academia, a prestigious school in Vanette Island City which has an oligarchic system of government. To put it simply, a school ran by the wealthy or by elite families.

Students enrolled here were either famous artists, rich kid millionaires and not ordinary people yet they had scholarships for intelligent and deserving students who weren't on an illustrious family background.

Ferto Mari Academia was a school for the rich and deserving students that wanted to pursue business management, media arts and other vocational educations. But if we compared it to Harconia Institute, the institute was another level higher than them. Revered strategists and martial practitioners were more valued in Xanxia so it's logical to say that Harconia Institute was on a higher status.

Even though bullying the weak cannot be avoided in Harconia Institute, one can say that it's just rare occurence in the institute because martial students were more focused on their cultivation than trivial things but in Ferto Mari Academia, bullying was widespread. Rich likes to bully the poor, mostly the poor and weak students, including the scholars.

Kit Witara, a male scholar senior student was a victim of bullying. The suicide happened three days ago, he jumped off the ten-storey building of the students' dorm.

As Chun and her seven students cooperated with the team of Detective Link. They uncovered a very deep reason why did Kit chose suicide different from his optimistic personality. But is it really suicide? Or was instigated by a third party?

If one rode back to the memory lane, from his dormmate's mouth, Kit Witara has a positive mindset despite the round of everyday bullying, he ignored it and sometimes, he would went back to their dorm limping and had a beaten up face, and his dormmate would asked him if he needed help but he would smile and says, "School's hard but still good."

His dormmate would be worried for him due to that but as it went like a routine to Kit, the worried dormmate settled a bit. The rounds of bullying lasted for a year until the bullies laid off for a bit, losing fun on bullying Kit but after that, the bullies targetted another scholar, ignoring Kit for a bit.
