Chapter 108
When her hair was suddenly pulled, Arshelly calmed herself down from habitually exploding with her mana .
NO!
If she activated her S rank power along with her mana… The girl who had tried to pull the hair of the ‘little princess’ of Laputa would definitely be turned into ash and dust .
“Seul-Gi . ”
Arshelly not only tried to calm herself down, but also tried to calm Seul-Gi down as well .
“We can play together and whatnot, so can you please just let go of my hair? It hurts…”
“Then you should get hurt more!”
. . . Saying that, Park Seul-Gi decided to continue to pull on Arshelly’s hair, but even harder .
“O-Oww…”
Arshelly looked as though she was about to cry .
“Be quiet, you beggar without a dad! I heard that you don’t even go to school . It’s because your family doesn’t have enough money to support you, isn’t it? Right?!”
Pulling Arshelly’s hair, Park Seul-Gi’s expression was ferocious .
You… Who are you to make me feel like this!
Park Seul-Gi despised Arshelly . She hated her so much that she wanted Arshelly to die .
Not only was Arshelly pretty and nice, but she also learned to pick up the piano so quickly that she was called a genius .
Arshelly had so many things that Park Seul-Gi didn’t have, and this naturally led to dislike and jealousy .
“I’ll let you go if you admit that you’re lying . ”
“Lying? I never lied . ”
“Yes, you did . The lie about having a dad and not being poor . If you admit to those, I’ll let go . ”
“Seul-Gi, I do have a dad . He’s just on a business trip right now and is busy . ”
“Business trip? Nice joke . Where does your dad work then? Does he work at a construction site like a beggar? Or sell fruits at a market, like a beggar without any ability?”
At that moment, Arshelly felt as if the world was turned upside down .
She didn’t have a dad?
He was a beggar?
If the one that was insulted had been Arshelly, she would be able to shrug it off . It wasn’t really much to her after all .
But an insult to her father, Kang Chul-In was something that Arshelly could absolutely not tolerate .
“Park Seul-Gi . ”
Arshelly spoke, her small hands wrapped up into a fist .
“W-What?”
When Arshelly looked at Park Seul-Gi, Park Seul-Gi stepped back in fright .
“My father told me . ”
“Your dad? Lying until the end…”
“That he won’t let me go easily if I get beaten up . ”This was the truth .
As Arshelly went to many different academies, this is what Kang Chul-In had told her .
--
“Daughter . ”
“Yes, dad?”
“Don’t go around getting beaten up by others, alright?”
“ . . . Huh?”
“Our family does not go around getting bullied by others . ”
“ . . . . . . !”
“If you get hit once, remember to hit them back 10 times . Don’t worry about the hospital fees . Your dad will cover all of that for you . ”
--
“Apologize to me . ”
Arshelly finally said as this was her bottom line .
“If you don’t apologize to me, I’ll beat you up . ”
“Beat me up? Who do you think you… Agh!”
POW!
Park Seul-Gi, who was trying to scratch Arshelly’s face, was knocked down screaming .
It wasn’t ‘slap’, it was ‘POW’ .
That’s right .
Rather than slapping Park Seul-Gi like a normal child of their age would, Arshelly put her back into place by punching her .
“Sob…”
Park Seul-Gi started crying .
“Sob… Sob… Oww . . . ”
And when the piano teacher finally came back…
“T-Teacher… Arshelly’s too scary… She punched me in the face like this…”
Park Seul-Gi and her friends did their best to tell the teacher .
“Arshelly . ”
“Yes, teacher?”
“You made me very disappointed . No matter how angry you are, you shouldn’t go around punching people . Alright?”
“Sorry…”
“Go stand in that corner, and put your hands up . You should really reflect on your behavior .
And saying that, the teacher went to Seul-Gi .
“Seul-Gi, are you alright? Come over here . ”
“Yes, tea… Huh?!”
Right as Seul-Gi was about to embrace the teacher with a hug, she felt something and almost started to cry again .
It was something hot that she felt in her nose…
“B-Blood!”
It was a nosebleed .
“M-My tooth…”
And the white ‘corn’ that fell on the floor was one her teeth .
“Sob . . . Sob…”
Park Seul-Gi started crying again, and her tantrum made it impossible for other students in the academy to practice .
“Wahhh!!! Mom!! Dad!!”
It was this moment when the visit of Park Seul-Gi’s parents was confirmed .

As Kang Chul-In and Dorian finished recuperating after their fight against Lucy, they started walking into the heart of the territory: into the Lord’s hall .
When they got to the door that was the entrance to the hall, Dorian was startled .
“Woah… Look at this, man . Is this all gold?”
Dorian pointed at the giant golden door in front of them .
“It’s a door made of black-steel, and it’s also infused with the bone of a Gold Dragon . ”
“Woah, a dragon?! Anyway… there’s someone that’s beyond this door, right?”
“Most likely, yes . ”
“Uhh… Well, she won’t be stronger than that terrifying tornado lady, right?”
Dorian referred to Lucy as the ‘tornado lady’ .
“I’m not sure . Stop talking to me, you pushover . ”
While Kang Chul-In and Dorian bickered with each other, the door was already around 1m open .
“What?! Pushover? I am not a…”
And just as Dorian was about to argue back…
Puk!
A dark shadow came out of nowhere and stabbed a black dagger into Dorian’s stomach .
