Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Such a Fierce Temper "Oh my god, who the hell did this? It's absolutely despicable." When Ifia emerged from the lavatory, Jessina scowled at the wooden stick that had been wedged in place, preventing Ifia from pushing the door open and trapping her inside. One girl being isolated in such a scenario must have been terrifying! Jessina was furious, while Lucy was comparatively composed. She took a look at Ifia, who was unharmed, and then spoke, "Ifia, I think it's Bwyna and her group. Only extremist commoners would do something this crazy!" "Bwyna? That ugly girl with the small eyes who always glares at people? Anyone who doesn't know her would mistake her for being cross-eyed! Ifia, don't worry, I'll help you get even!" Jessina was incensed, resembling a powder keg about to explode, which left Ifia feeling both helpless and touched. Though Ifia couldn't simply laze around in this world, it was good to have met Lucy and Jessina. She initially thought she would be alone! Of course, the best friend of all is Amelia, with no comparison. "Jessina, calm down. The extremist commoners are too dangerous, you'll end up getting hurt... Ifia, for this matter, you can seek help from Miss Barren," Lucy suggested, cautioning the impulsive noblewoman against confronting the situation head-on. Not being close to Jessina initially, Lucy thought of her as a proud and aloof noblewoman. However, now that she was familiar thanks to Ifia, she realized Jessina was impulsive and short-tempered, much like a feisty little dog. If she weren't a noble, but a commoner, she would have been attacked long ago. Since there were precedents of extremist commoners attacking nobles, Jessina intentionally seeking trouble might result in her getting hurt! However, with Miss Barren, it was a different story. Those extremist commoners wouldn't dare do anything to the Duke's daughter, even if they were as bold as brass. Moreover, the entire Pris Academy knows that Miss Barren is quite capable. She is the best in horse riding, sword fighting, and self-defense. Even the valiant Prince Carloi pales in comparison. Now, with Miss Barren's high regard for Ifia, she would never allow anyone to harm her! "Yes, Miss Barren is invincible. She'll definitely help you settle the score with those bastards." While Jessina was still angry, she morphed into a fangirl the moment the Duke's daughter was brought up, despite being furious. As for asking Ifia to go and confront the extremist commoners herself? Neither Jessina nor Lucy approved of that approach. Just looking at Ifia's delicate frame was enough to show that she was not suitable for such a dangerous task. It was better to leave it to professionals who were more powerful! "Jessina, Lucy, thank you for caring about me, but I don't want to trouble Amelia. I already have a plan for this matter. Just wait and see!" However, Ifia had already made up her mind and wouldn't heed their advice. Because if she were to bother Amelia for such a trivial matter, it would make her look utterly incompetent. So, she would handle those rascals herself! Trying to make Ifia suffer? No way, not in this lifetime! If she didn't avenge this today, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight! When she saw that Lucy and Jessina wanted to speak again, Ifia raised her hand to stop her two friends' persuasion and her determined expression indicated that she wouldn't change her mind. No amount of persuasion would change her mind! Seeing this, Jessina and Lucy exchanged a glance, and immediately Lucy spoke, representing both of them, "Since you don't want Miss Barren to know, let the two of us help you!" "No, if those people find out, you'll also be implicated." Upon hearing Lucy's words, Ifia quickly shook her head. She could handle this alone… if she couldn't, she could rely on Amelia for support. After all, she had a way out. But not Jessina and Lucy—if they were targeted, it would be troublesome. "If you consider us your friends, Ifia, don't refuse," Lucy insisted. "Yes, Ifia. Having an extra pair of hands would lessen the trouble. Don't think of me as just a noble; I am quite strong and can definitely help you give them a good beating!" Just like Ifia's decision to confront the situation herself, Lucy and Jessina were resolute in wanting to join the plan. Given this, Ifia had no choice but to agree eventually. She then quietly told her plan to Lucy and Jessina, who listened with widened eyes, before they decided to return to the classroom according to the plan. Lucy was to help get a sick leave to distract the enemies while they waited for Ifia at the designated location after school. Once Jessina and Lucy left, Ifia did not immediately leave the lavatory. Instead, she began calling the system for help! "System, help me track down those rascals. Don't say you don't have the authority, just this once… If you don't help, I won't complete any tasks in the future. I can't just endure being bullied without retaliation. It's too suffocating; I'd rather die!" "Host, be patient. I can track them down." Tracking down irrelevant small fries wasn't that difficult. However, the system didn't expect the host's temper to be this fierce. With thoughts of the pending tasks and the true identity of the villainess, the system was afraid to refuse. It was better to be kinder to the foolish host for now! After confirming that the system could be of assistance, Ifia produced the potion she carried with her. Fortunately, she had restocked it at the black apothecary in time. And now, it proved useful in helping her seek revenge! Looking at the bottle containing the potion, Ifia managed to muster a villainous smirk, much like those in movies and TV shows. She repackaged the potion and bought some items before taking the system's information to stake out the secluded location where the extremist commoners often gathered in the classroom. The location was remote, with low shrubbery providing cover, making it hard to be discovered. It was an ideal spot for a surprise attack. "Haha, Ifia is too timid; she's been scared to attend class." "Will she complain to the Duke's daughter?" "What's there to fear? Even if she really did see us, we have reliable seniors in the group!" "Even if she manages to curry favor with the Duke's daughter, we'll intensify our efforts tomorrow. We must rectify Ifia's misguided thoughts and make her realize it's wrong to worship nobles." "System, I can't bear it anymore. I'm ready to make my move!" As the dismissal bell rang, the target individuals soon arrived. Quietly hidden in the shrubs, Ifia listened to their foolish conversation and then asked the system to confirm if all the targets were present. Upon receiving an affirmative response, she took out her precious potion. With her previous experience using the potion on the dwarf noble, Ifia could now control the dosage of the powder to avoid needless wastage. After all, the cost of this potion was not low! So, using only half a bottle, Ifia managed to incapacitate several commoner students. As was customary, she deliberately waited for a while, until the remaining powder was blown away by the wind, before walking out, holding her nose with a handkerchief. Looking down at the crumpled figures on the ground, Ifia nodded in satisfaction. The potion from the black apothecary was too effective. Once this half bottle was used up, she would need to restock. Now, it was time for the hunt!
