"GOOD MORNING, CLASS-2A!" Julia entered with a more optimistic smile on her face as if she was refreshed and anew from the previous bullshit. She had more hope, faith, and confidence in her capabilities more than anyone else in the room. 

Merrily, no one responded to her greetings or cared whatsoever. But it seemed like they were slightly better behaving than before. It has been just a week of school and Julia was sure of one thing: Progress was happening. Even if it was a tiny bit, it was happening.

"Everyone take out your Science Textbooks!" Julia ordered. When they did, Tsuchiya Mina (Villainess' best friend) raised her hand and said: "Yoshihisa Hanna has no textbook, sensei!" 

'Tattle tailing are we?' It was at this scene in the novel that Tsuchiya had stole the female lead's textbook in the morning without the female lead noticing. Since the female lead forgot the textbook and didn't bring it to class, she would be punished and be standing outside of class for thirty minutes straight. 

But Julia wouldn't do that!

Because Yoshihisa-Hanna was her favorite student. 

"Oh, oh then, Tsuchiya-san, since you are Yoshihisa-san's deskmate, can you share with her?" Julia responded battling the scene in the novel with a smile. 

Tsuchiya who looked like she won the battle for a second, suddenly had a defeated expression on her face. 

"E-eh?" 

"Is there a problem, Tsuchiya-san?"  Julia smiled with half-assery. 

"N-no, not at all Sensei." Tsuchiya looked away in defeat. 

"Good." 

Like that, class ended peacefully with all the students paying attention. 

Or... it was just Julia's hallucination.

NEXT PERIOD AFTER LUNCH BREAK: 

It was time for English class, but four students were missing in Julia's 2-A classroom. It started ringing bells that Yoshihisa Hanna was one of them. 

If her students were late and perhaps beaten down, the Principal would surely find out unleash his wrath on everyone! 

'What is going on? Is Tsuchiya Mina taking revenge on Hanna?' 

Julia couldn't help but worry. It was obvious that Tsuchiya was a hot-headed b*tch with an arrogant personality. Julia turned around to see the villainess, Ashikaga Erena, quietly snickering to herself. 

'What-?' 

Julia turned to see that the second-male lead, Nakashima Arima, was looking out the window with a serious passionate look on his face as if he was looking for something. While the Male lead, Yoshida Toshiro, was looking around the classroom too. 

'If the villainess is laughing to herself, it must mean that she sent her best friend to bully the female lead, and since the second male lead and the male lead are looking for the female lead, the villainess is laughing even more.' 

"I'm sorry, I'm late Sensei." At last, the voice that Julia was concerned for, was finally here. Yoshihisa Hanna entered the classroom with a torn uniform and scratches and bruises on her legs. 

'They must have been bullying her on the rooftops like every other cliche novel!' Julia thought to herself. All the students in Class 2-A gasped in surprise with Yoshihisa Hanna's entrance. 

Even the villainess Ashikaga Erena seemed surprised, along with the Male lead, Yoshida Toshiro, and the second male lead, Nakamshima Arima. 

"A-ah- Yoshihisa-san? What happened to you?" Julia couldn't help but ask, she was sure the others would like to hear the story. 

"I got into some trouble. But I took care of it." Yoshihisa laughed goofily as she rubbed her nose and gave a thumbs-up like a veteran warrior. 

'Hah? You can laugh in this sort of painful situation?' 

'The poor and fragile female lead bullied by all still remains quiet and not tattle tail on her enemies.' 

"Do you want to go to the Nurse's office then, Yoshihisa-san?" Julia asked. 

"Nah, this should suffice." Yoshihisa Hanna smiled with a wink as she went to sit in her empty seat. "By the way, Sensei, the others should come in a little later since they are in the Nurse's office." 

'Come again?' 

"Eeeerr..."

***

It turned out that it was Tsuchiya Mina (villainess' best friend) and her mob friends who were landed in the Nurse's office with bruises and scratches all over their bodies, including broken noses. J-just what happened, Yoshihisa-Hanna?

Why are your bullies in the nurse's office with broken bones, while you are sitting with a straight backbone with a dorkish smile on your face? 

Just who is this heroine? Where is the pitiful, weak, and unruly female lead?
