Chapter 13: Chapter 13

When Biggest swung his fist, Jonea immediately lowered her head. Biggest's fist hit the wall causing him to scream in pain.

"Wooo…!" screamed all the students who witnessed the incident.

Jonea immediately backed away and got away from Biggest. But the big student looked annoyed because he failed to get his target. Biggest threw a kick. Once again, Jonea dodged. This time Biggest's foot accidentally hits the sink. His footing faltered, and he fell onto the toilet floor.

Biggest is getting angry. He increasingly brutally attacked Jonea. However, Jonea pushed Biggest's stomach with both hands until Biggest's head hit the wall.

With his head throbbing violently and his vision blurry, Biggest struggled to his feet. The atmosphere became very tense and quiet.

"Hey!" Biggest shouted while clutching his head. "Let's see how far you will continue to run away?" He pointed at Jonea.

Biggest got back into his stance and was ready to attack Jonea.

"I am really, really sorry. How about we stop this now?" Jonea raised her hands and showed Biggest that she had no intention of fighting.

When the opportunity arises, Jonea turns and tries to escape from the toilet. However, the other students intercepted and pushed Jonea back into the toilet. Now, Jonea faced again with Biggest, who looked even angrier than before.

"Please, stop!" Jonea said breathlessly. "If you keep this up, I won't stay silent!"

"What can you really do?" quipped Biggest with both fists ready to clench.

Jonea ran again and dodged Biggest's fists and kicks. Unfortunately, Jonea slipped and accidentally hit the cleaning equipment stored in the corner of the toilet.

Jonea held on to one of the long-handled floor brushes that hung on the wall. Jonea swung the floor brush at Biggest without thinking as if she was holding a sword.

"You look so stupid!" insulted Biggest.

"This is my final warning!" Jonea said as she pointed the brush handle at Biggest. "Stop it right now!"

"Wow…!" another said. "This is getting more and more exciting."

"You--!" said Biggest with disgust.

Biggest attacked Jonea. Jonea kept swinging the brush handle at Biggest every time he attacked. They fought very fiercely, accompanied by screams from other students.

Every attack launched by Biggest has been successfully resisted and countered by Jonea. Biggest received blows to his head, arms, and even his back several times. Jonea really played with the handle of the brush like a sword.

In the next strike, the brush in Jonea's hand caught. She couldn't move, and Biggest's kick went to her stomach. Jonea was pushed with an excruciating stomach ache.

"Woooah…!" shouted Biggest triumphantly. He raised his hands as he turned to look at his friends. He wanted to get the recognition that he was the winner.

Jonea, in pain, tried to stand up straight while holding her stomach. The girl almost vomited. She could not accept being defeated and humiliated like that. Jonea again grabbed the handle of her fallen brush and attacked Biggest.

One punch hit Biggest's back really hard. The big student will fight back. However, Jonea accidentally thrust the brush handle into Biggest's butt. Biggest Howled in agony with the end of the brush handle stuck in the back of his body.

Jonea paled. She didn't mean to do that. Everything happened by accident.

Jonea's actions humiliated Biggest's pride and his club mates. They all put on horrible faces and were ready to attack Jonea together.

A student grabbed Jonea's neck from behind as Biggest recovered his shock.

"Let me go!" Jonea said with difficulty. She was out of breath.

Another student punched Jonea in the stomach until the girl almost lost consciousness. Jonea slumped. But, the student who locked her arms behind her back still choked the girl's neck. Jonea's face turned blue. She was out of breath. Just then, Biggest came, ready to throw his most potent fist.

"You guys are practising?" scolded someone.

Biggest's fist hung in the air.

"What?" the shock of the student holding Jonea's hand. He immediately loosened his grip so Jonea could breathe again.

"Aland?" said Biggest holding back his anger.

The student who previously punched Jonea approached Aland with a stiff smile. "You must want to join, right? We will give the best part for you."

They all haven't let go of Jonea, just loosened her hold. Aland walked up to the pale and helpless Jonea. He lowered his head to look at the girl.

"You… cookie dough! Haven't you forgotten something?" asked Aland while tugging Jonea's chin.

Jonea winced in pain. She needed clarification. While her hand was still gripped by the two students behind her.

"What?" muttered Jonea while looking at Aland.

"I've followed your recipe. I've replaced cold eggs with room-temperature eggs. But, the dough still can't rise."

All the students who watched hoped that Aland would beat Miller black and blue; now, they were astonished by this strange conversation.

Jonea looked at the students, who were still locking her hand. "You... don't use baking powder?"

"Why, you're right!" he said. "But, did you know that supermarkets sell ready-to-use flour? You don't need to add eggs and stuff anymore."

Jonea rebelled. "Get off me, bastard!" She shouted at the students who were still holding her.

Aland glanced at them all. "You guys will still be here?"

The students needed clarification, including Biggest. "You want to finish it?"

"You want to meddle in my business?" Aland shouted while swinging his fist at Biggest's shoulder.

Biggest was pushed and tripped. Other students came to help him. Biggest hissed and looked away from Aland.

"Let us go!" he told the sports club members.

After the toilet was quiet, Jonea sat back and panted. She held her neck and hands in pain.

Aland crouched down in front of Jonea. "You are so messy." Then he got up and left the toilet while muttering. "So I have to add baking powder, hish!"

"Senior!" call Jonea.

Aland stopped and turned around.

"Thanks for helping me."

"I'm not helping you! I just don't like something like this happening in front of my eyes."

Gosh! Jonea's heart skipped a beat.

'Does that mean he wasn't involved in Miller's bullying? Can I believe it?' thought Jonea.

***

The students who previously bullied Jonea in the toilet were now standing in front of Hunter with their heads down. Only Biggest is not there.

"What? Aland?" asked Hunter in disbelief.

"Yes, Aland appeared out of the blue and helped Miller. We can't do anything if Aland gets involved," one of the students reported.

Hunter dragged his baseball bat toward the two students. "But who told you to do that? Beat him in the toilet together?"

One of the students raised a face. "You told us to teach him a lesson. We're just trying to help you, Hunter!"

Hunter banged his baseball bat on one of the flower vases on the table until it broke. "I only told you to scare him and make him surrender! I never ordered you to kill him together!"

"Forgive us… Forgive us, Senior!"

"You want to get kicked out of school too?" shouted Hunter, swinging his baseball bat. The two students ran away. "Get out of here right now!"

They ran as fast as they could from private club B4.

Hunter rushed to the VIP dormitory to meet with Aland and talk about the misunderstanding. While at the front door of the regular dormitory, Hunter saw several students going home and chatting.

"Wow, did you see that in the toilet earlier? If you pay attention, Miller is actually quite nice and beautiful. He is brave, too," commented one student.

"What do you mean beautiful? Which part? Do you like boys? Disgusting."

"But when you think about it, you have a point!" continued another. "Miller's skin is too white for a boy, like you know? And he looks a bit gentle." The student was starting to hesitate. "Miller might be a girl more than a boy."

"You guys are crazy, huh?"

"Biggest is getting overwhelmed. So far, no one has been able to beat Biggest in terms of combat, except for Hunter and members of B4."

Hunter pensive and squinted. "Miller?" he whispered. "Who are you?"
