"Sir, should we help her now? They're going to hit her."
Mr Hunter: "No, let's see what happens."
Ariel: "I've been wondering who would be dumb enough to follow me. So it's you, Sophie."
Sophie: "Ariel, don't blame me for being ruthless. You're the one who brought this upon yourself. You just had to appear in our school and steal the spotlight, didn't you? You just had to steal Alan's attention."
Ariel: "I don't know what you're talking about, but if you want a fight, I'm ready."
The girls laughed at Ariel's words and exchanged glances. They immediately started attacking her from all sides. Ariel dodged the first attack and quickly pulled Sophie to use as a shield against the other girls. The other girls froze in their tracks, afraid to hurt Sophie.
Sophie: "What are you doing? Attack her!"
Ariel: "If you want to play, let's play."
Ariel pushed Sophie away and crouched down, making a sweeping motion with her leg that knocked two girls off their feet. She then grabbed a baton from one of them and skillfully twirled it, blocking attacks from the others. With quick movements, she disarmed all the girls and left them groaning on the ground.
Sophie, who had been watching in shock, tried to run away, but Ariel caught her by the collar.
Ariel: "Listen carefully, Sophie. I don't know what your problem is, but if you ever try something like this again, I won't be so merciful. And for the record, I have no interest in Alan or whatever his name is."
Ariel released Sophie, who fell to the ground trembling. She turned around to leave but stopped when she noticed a black car parked nearby. She couldn't see who was inside due to the tinted windows, but she had a feeling someone had been watching the entire time.
Inside the car, Mr. Hunter was impressed by what he had just witnessed. He hadn't expected the seemingly helpless girl to be so skilled in self-defense.
Mr. Hunter: "Interesting. Find out who she is."
