Chapter 26: The Aftermath
Xanthia did not deliver a fatal blow when Jimmy tried to patch things up; instead, she mercifully allowed him a way out, feeling exceptionally kind for doing so.
Indeed, if it had been any other vengeful system owner, Jimmy would have been utterly disgraced and unable to remain in the class. He was already dying emotionally!
Her methods were so covert that no one could have suspected that she, a delicate-looking and gentle-natured girl, possessed such a peculiar "mini flying warrior" superpower. Although this ability belonged to a small insect summoning beast, since she could control it so effortlessly, it practically meant she owned it.
In the end, it was her strong self-control and principles that made her a good person who adhered to the rule of not offending others unless provoked. As for those who did provoke her, like Jimmy, they could expect to become a laughingstock.
Even though Jimmy seemed to have found a way to save face, that evening, his deskmate Crissante was passionately venting in the girls' dormitory. Usually reserved, Crissante was now fervently criticizing the situation.
Crissante, who had a slight cleanliness obsession, was horrified watching the yellow urine stain her chair legs. To her, it felt as if she had been splashed directly, and she couldn't swallow this indignity!
"Everyone have no idea how disgusting Jimmy is. He's a hopeless pervert. I suspect he did it on purpose. Despite the long break, he insisted on lecturing Xanthia instead of going to the bathroom! When class resumed, he just started peeing! I first smelled the strong urine odor and then looked down to see the mess. I was stunned, thinking, 'I'm surrounded by stinky, yellow urine!'"
Crissante's vivid recount had her seven roommates frowning while trying not to laugh, some even bursting into loud guffaws.
Xenia La Sagrada, Xanthia's former deskmate, laughed so hard she could barely catch her breath before adding, "Jimmy really is something else. He's socially clueless, not a top student, yet he bullies those who perform worse than him. I never thought he'd pick on someone as sweet as Xanthia. He got what he deserved!"
Xenia had no conflicts with Xanthia during their time as deskmates. Despite Xanthia's social anxiety, they had a peaceful coexistence, which was her primary impression.
The dorm leader, Luciel, noticed the mention of Xanthia and probed Crissante for more details, knowing that Luciel had a good relationship with Xanthia.
Crissante, recognizing Luciel's righteous and protective nature, detailed the events of that day.
Luciel, after hearing the story, felt even more sympathy for Xanthia, thinking she was too easily bullied.
Crissante's account ignited the dorm's anger, and they collectively condemned Jimmy. With visitors from the neighboring dorm, the gossip spread quickly, eventually reaching everyone, causing Jimmy's reputation among the girls to plummet.
Similarly, in the boys' dorms, aside from Jimmy's dorm, which remained awkwardly silent due to proximity, the incident was hot gossip elsewhere.
Dematero's dorm, for example, was kinder. Dematero didn't want to worsen things and preferred harmony among classmates.
But in Sunny's dorm, Jimmy received no such leniency.
Once again, diarrhea in class might be understandable, albeit unusual. An upset stomach could lead to an uncontrollable accident, turning someone into a "jet warrior."
But peeing in class, and doing it so blatantly and unrestrainedly, seemed deliberate. How else could one pee so much without trying to hold back?
Sunny, who like Crissante, was also a victim of Jimmy's accident due to gravity's effect, loudly voiced his frustration in his dorm: "It's unbelievable. Normally, I keep my soccer ball in the backroom, but that day, it was under my desk..."
