Chapter 74: The Inevitable Clash

"Fucking corrupted, evil bastards! They deserve to die horrible deaths!"

"Let's go to a news station after class then, all of us together!"

"Why after class? Can't we ditch one day of class for our friends?"

"Let's go right fucking now, then!"

"Yeah, I don't believe they'll just ignore a testimony from dozens of students at once!"

"Fuck Emilia White!"

"Screw her!"

They never realized, however, that their impassioned speech was a bit too loud, and managed to attract the attention of Penny and her new 'friends' next door.

==========

Penny already had a pretty good idea of what was going on when she realized the commotion was coming from class B. Unlike last time, when she could only grit her teeth and swear to one day make them regret besmirching her princess, she was no longer helpless and alone.

Although the ground floor only had their B and C classes, it wasn't difficult for her to relay her call for arms to all the 'applicants'. Most had left their phone numbers behind when expressing their interest to join, and calling them here was as simple as sending a group message.

The turnout rate was even better than she expected, with almost 80% of all the applicants showing up for the 'battle' in front of class B. Of course, those who failed to show up were directly struck off her list of potential 'candidates' for the club. Their faith in her princess was too low and unworthy.

"The top ten who score the most hits on those morons will get a guaranteed spot in the club! And the top three will get one piece each of merch touched by the princess herself! Those who are too queasy to fight can stay back to shout insults, and our judge will pick the one who can hurl the most vicious ones and bestow a position to them as well!"

Some of the frailer girls as well as the more bookish boys who had been dreading the thought of a physical confrontation were immediately reinvigorated.

And the judge was, of course, Penny's best friend Dorothy. With a 'score sheet' already prepared, her sole job this time was to scout out all the 'good seedlings'.

"Whoo!"

"Let's go!"

The reason Penny was so confident was obvious. Class B was only one part of their freshmen year, while the students who came to apply to her club came from all four years of high school, and almost all classes.

Even with an average of only ten to twelve students per class, minus freshman class B, that still made them almost four times as many in number when compared to their enemies.

Penny smirked. "Let's give those bastards what they deserve."

==========

The class B students were still in a hateful and angry state when Penny slammed their classroom door open with a kick.

"For the princess!"

"Attack!"

Although the situation was far beyond what anyone ever expected in their wildest dreams, they still tried their best to defend themselves. With their agitated hearts, many even completely lost their reasoning and started brawling viciously.

But their opponents were just as, if not more unreasonable. They didn't seem to fear getting hurt at all, like fanatics who cared only for their cause and not themselves.

The worst part was that not only did they get attacked unprovoked by this bunch of lunatics, a few of them even stayed back with the express purpose of hurling insults their way.

"Stupid idiot!"

"Moron!"

"Look at that blind retard swing!"

"A cerebral palsy could have hit that shot!"

"Ohhh, the fat guy manages to bounce back his opponent with his blubber defense! It's super effective!"

"Hey, you! Why are you so ugly that no one even wants to punch you in the face?!"

"My god, look at this bitch trying to run away in circles, she's weapons-grade stupid!"

"His ability is… impossible to underestimate!"

==========

Now that they had such a comfortable base at school, Dixie and Emilia would of course only leave when it was only half an hour till class started.

When they arrived at the academic building, they were attracted by a commotion coming from class B. Emilia was curious, so she decided to check it out, and Dixie followed.

What she never expected, however, was to come across a student 'riot'. Not to mention her, Dixie was also equally dumbfounded.

This was not some backward school where students formed gangs and often fought with each other. This was the Imperial Academy of Excellence! The so-called most reputable school in the country, where only the best of the best were accepted as students!

Perhaps in the past hundreds of years of the school's history, this kind of event wouldn't even be imaginable.

But the scene in front of them was definitely not an illusion, and now that they had seen it, Emilia couldn't ignore it either.

Emilia noticed that there was a group of students who were simply standing around in a circle, staring at her blankly since she opened the door, as if shocked.

Most of them looked like good kids who liked to keep to themselves, and Emilia felt a little pity that their learning environment was disturbed like this by these 'gangsters'. 'Poor babies, hope they're not too traumatized… Let's see which bunch of delinquents dare to start a fight even after knowing I'm now the 'disciplinary committee' head…'

Emilia's gaze swept through the roughhousing students who were too lost in their fighting to realize that the insults had gone silent, and an 'intruder' had entered their territory.

Even after she looked around for a while, she didn't recognize most of the students who were kicking and punching each other haphazardly, but she did recognize Penny.

The petite girl had somehow managed to climb onto the shoulders of a tall, strong-looking female student, and was currently in the process of pulling at her hair as the girl screeched and ran around in terror.

"Let go of my hair you little bitch!"

"Not until I turn you into a baldy! How dare you badmouth my princess?!"

Dixie and Emilia stared at each other, both realizing that although they had done nothing this time, the blame for the matter might actually still somehow fall on Emilia's head.

Dixie felt intensely uncomfortable as she watched Emilia get closer to the brawling students. "P-Princess, stop! You go back to get a teacher, I'll separate them one by one in the meantime, okay?"

Emilia shook her head. "No way, as the head of the 'disciplinary committee', isn't it my job to take care of things like this? They're just untrained children, don't worry so much."

And Emilia walked right into the conflict, almost causing Dixie to have a heart attack as she tried her best to stick close to her to fend off any stray 'attacks'.

Of course, as most of them didn't even realize she was there, Emilia was never in any actual danger, and could avoid all the stray attacks herself. She reached Penny's position far more easily than she expected. "Penny!"

"Princess?!"

Penny was so shocked that she immediately stopped pulling out the girl's hair, and her victim let out a sigh of relief.

Emilia's expression was dark as she glared at the now quivering blonde. "Come down, now, and explain to me what the hell is going on!"
