Kiana's Doubt

Kiana was a particularly unusual girl, in every sense of the word.

Her appearance, her personality, and even her experiences—which seemed almost magical to ordinary people—all proved it.

And someone so unusual naturally stood out from ordinary people, even at Senba Academy.

Today marked Kiana's second week since transferring to Senba Academy in pursuit of a certain elder's whereabouts. The antisocial girl was walking alone along the school wall, planning to buy a loaf or two of bread at the convenience store to fill her stomach, when she encountered something she might never forget for the rest of her life.

She had been knocked to the ground by someone who had climbed over the wall from outside the school—and he had taken considerable advantage of her while doing so.

What made Kiana even angrier was that the fellow had not only failed to apologize for his actions, but had also run away while she was still lying on the ground.

Miss Kiana declared that she had never suffered such a huge loss in her entire life.

However, compared to having been taken advantage of, there was something else that bothered her even more.

That was the fact that, in the face of the young man's rude behavior, she had felt not only embarrassment, but surprisingly little anger.

That was highly abnormal!

Even Kiana herself knew that she did not have a particularly good temper.

Normally, after suffering such a huge loss, even if she did not smash that person's head in, she would never let the matter go so easily.

Yet when it came to that Silver-haired Youth, she could not feel the slightest bit of anger.

It was not some ridiculous love-at-first-sight nonsense. Although the young man looked quite handsome, Kiana did not care all that much about appearances.

Not to mention that she had a slight tendency toward women and found it difficult to develop feelings for men.

But she truly did have a very strange feeling toward that boy—a joy at meeting again after being apart for a long time, along with an inexplicable sense of familiarity and concern. Even long after the young man had left, Kiana could not get over it.

I absolutely have to find that guy!

It was as if a voice were whispering this softly in her ear, and she agreed with it wholeheartedly.

She could feel that if she let the young man pass her by just like this, she would definitely regret it in the future.

With that thought in mind, Kiana began searching the campus for the nameless Silver-haired Youth.

As if guided by some unseen force, she soon found the young man sitting on one of the school's benches.

As though some delayed emotion had suddenly come online, inexplicable anger surged into her heart.

She reached out and placed a hand on the young man's shoulder, saying through gritted teeth, "You bastard, I finally found you!"

The young man's body suddenly stiffened.

He's in big trouble this time!

Looking at the ill-tempered Silver-haired Girl in front of him, Dong Moxuan had this thought.

He had taken such a huge advantage of this Paramecium. Was he about to get his head beaten in?

Faced with this situation, he instinctively held the bread in his hand out to the girl.

"Here, have the bread. Heroine, please don't hit me!!!"

Kiana: "..."

Seeing the young man's reaction, Kiana froze for a moment and almost laughed out of anger.

However, she had never intended to hit him in the first place, and she had not eaten lunch yet. After hesitating for a while, she accepted the bread from the young man and sat down beside him.

"Heroine, yogurt!"

Dong Moxuan sensibly handed over the yogurt, its straw already inserted. Kiana happened to be hungry as well, so she said nothing and quietly began eating.

"All right."

After finishing the bread, Kiana threw the trash in her hand into the garbage bin. Then she turned to Dong Moxuan and revealed an unusually "kind" smile.

"Next, we should have a proper talk about what just happened! Don't you agree, sir whose name I don't know?"

As she looked at Dong Moxuan, Kiana spoke in an ominous tone while forcefully cracking her wrists, looking terrifyingly menacing.

Kiana had no desire to actually hit him, but she still felt that she could not simply let the matter go.

Dong Moxuan: "..."

"This is all the money I have. I really don't have any more!"

After less than a second of silence, Dong Moxuan offered up the lunch money Mei had given him that remained after he bought the bread.

Kiana: "..."

If she had only almost laughed from anger before, this time she truly did laugh from anger.

The bread could at least be considered an apology. But what was the meaning of giving her money?

He had taken advantage of her and thought he could settle the matter by paying her? Did he really take her for some prostitute?!

Looking at Dong Moxuan before her, Kiana—who had not originally intended to hit him—began to feel an urge to punch him.

However, just as this thought appeared in her mind, a calm and steady voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"Kiana!"

Kiana's movements paused slightly. She turned toward the source of the voice, and her expression immediately fell.

"Class Monitor?!"

The person calling Kiana's name was a serious-looking girl with short black hair and black-rimmed glasses.

If he had not known that person could not possibly be here, Dong Moxuan would have thought she was some flat-chested immortal who had remained a virgin for tens of thousands of years.

"Kiana, you seem rather dissatisfied with me?"

Kiana's reaction did not cause the girl's expression to change in the slightest. She lightly pushed up her glasses and asked the question.

"No, no, not at all!"

Kiana waved her hands repeatedly.

"What does Class Monitor need me for?"

"The first class this afternoon is physical education. Go to the equipment room and move the sports equipment."

"Why do I have to move it?"

Kiana was clearly very dissatisfied with the Black-haired Girl's arrangement.

"Why do you have to move it?"

After hearing Kiana's question, the Black-haired Girl sneered.

"Today was supposed to be your turn to clean, wasn't it? But I don't believe I saw you anywhere earlier."

Looking at the White-haired Ball before her, the Black-haired Girl said coldly, "Kiana, today you can either listen to me and move the equipment, or... according to the class rules, you can clean for the entire next week."

"I'll move it! Isn't that enough?"

After hearing the Black-haired Girl's words, Kiana drooped her head listlessly, like an eggplant hit by frost.

Seeing this, the Black-haired Girl was about to turn and leave, but Dong Moxuan beside Kiana caught her attention. She frowned slightly.

"A boy? Why are you here?"

The Black-haired Girl questioned Dong Moxuan.

This is bad!

The instant the Black-haired Girl appeared, he had felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, he had been discovered in the end.
