Chapter 229 I Am Officer Astria 3

"But apparently, most of them had a greater pain tolerance than I expected. Because even after they were sprayed, others were simply just scratching their skins while some didn't pay heed to it at all. And so, much to my dismay, they were able to quickly recover from the shock of me spraying them. And they were able to chase after me in a matter of mere seconds."

"But I was a fairly fast runner so I was able to outrun them with enough time to spare to go to the lower floors and blindly spray people I coincidentally meet and find."

Inna smiled as she remembered the adrenaline rushing through her veins back then. It was at that moment that she felt truly alive. It was as though she was finally 'living' right. And it was from then on, that she became who she truly wanted to be.

"But too bad, I was caught right before I could enter the principal's office. Oh well, at least I made a mark in the history of that school that damaged the reputation of the principal."

Inna snickered evilly while Raghnall just shook his head playfully at her.

"You're really evil, y'know that?"

Inna raised an eyebrow at him as she spoke.

"An eye for an eye, was it not what you said? They got what they deserved."

Raghnall chuckled as he nodded.

"True. An eye for an eye, indeed. I can't say I'm any different. In fact, I might be eviler than you from what I did."

Hearing the hint of sadness and regret from Raghnall's voice, Inna decided to lighten up the conversation.

"Hey, don't you dare make this into another contest. I'm more evil than you and that's it."

Raghnall snapped out of his thoughts when he heard her ridiculous comment. And he couldn't help but release a small laugh.

"Okay, okay. No contest. You're the evilest of them all."

Inna smiled as her grip on his hand tightened comfortingly. Then, when he squeezed her hand back, Inna decided to continue.

"And so, yeah, I got caught. Then things began to become more complicated and annoying. The principal and nearly every adult in the establishment reprimanded me about my actions. And on that same day, after telling all students to go home, they called up my parents to have a meeting regarding my rampage. My parents arrived in no time, but with them secretly came the media as well."

"My parents told the school that they were unaware of my behavior and that they would punish me accordingly. But the principal didn't seem to be satisfied and declared that normally, students would be expelled for such behavior."

"Now, I have no problem getting expelled because I hated that school already. And so, I raised my hand to indicate I wanted to speak. The rest of the people in the room looked at me incredulously but my mother offered me the chance to speak."

"Cutting off the conversation between my father and the principal, my mother reasoned out that the first thing we should've done was to ask the reason why I did what I did instead of immediately talking about the consequences. The rest of the people agreed and so, I was signaled by my mother to finally speak."

"And vowing by the oath of honesty done by Officer Astria on Episode 4, I told them everything that led up to that day. With an even tone, I told them about the bullying, the reason why I had to take a break, and such. I even showed them the scars that I use to desperately hide using my mother's concealer."

"And while I was speaking, my mother was on tears while everyone else held a horrified look as their sights zeroed in on my scars. But strangely enough, I no longer was able to conjure tears as I told my story. It was as if I felt that I was done crying. I felt strong at that moment. And when I finished, the unexpected happened."

Inna smiled fondly.

"My parents, they… I didn't expect it from them because I kinda just passed them off as emotionless robots in a sense. But when I finished, they enveloped me in one of the tightest and warmest hugs I've ever had in my eight years of existence."

"At first, I was at loss on what to do. It was my first time to be hugged by them after all. So, I was just awkwardly staying still. Then, without any warning, my rears just started flowing and I started crying like a kid. Well, I was a kid but, you get what I mean…"

Inna giggled.

"Then, my mother started to talk about how strong I was despite being just a child. She talked about how my circumstances and their lack of… involvement… forced me to grow up alone. And she talked sorry they were for leaving me alone and making me take on such a heavy thing all by myself. She just kept apologizing on how they took me for granted and such. They never wanted a child so they didn't know how to take care of one. And so, they thought that giving me a nanny that knows how to take care of a child would be better than them badly taking care of me."

"I understood their reasoning, I really did. That's why I never blamed them on anything nor feel any sort of hatred towards them."

"Well, anyway, when we finally calmed down, I reminded them that there was still another matter at hand by pointing at the silent principal. My father coughed to try and recover his intimidating aura as he tried to talk it over with the principal. But the principal seems hell-bent on expelling me if my father doesn't bring out the 'bribery' card."

"And my father was about to comply when I stopped him. I've watched enough school dramas to know what bribing someone was and how it is bad. And as a bearer of justice, there's no way I'll permit that under my watch."

Inna chuckled.

"And so, I told them that I'd accept the expulsion."
