Chapter 167: Vill-V: Inspiration Triggered!

[Unsurprisingly, this incident caused you trouble... because the person you hit was admitted to the hospital.]

  [I don't know if it was because of the head hitting the ground, but the other party was admitted to the hospital and stayed there for quite a while. During this time, the other party's parents kept making trouble, complaining to the school about the incident, and sometimes even came to block you after school, shouting that you would pay the price because his child was in the hospital.]

  [They know your background. You are just a child without parents and background. Even if you are a child of the church, so what? You are just adopted by the church, not from the church. Even if you have a good relationship with Father Enrique, you don't have a deep connection with the church after all.]

  [In addition to the church's consistent good ideas and the image that Father Enrique has always maintained, they believe that no one will stand up for you... After all, no matter what, their child was thrown into the hospital by you! No matter what, you have to pay compensation and apologize.]

  [Hmm? No money? If you don't have money, ask Father Enrique who is taking care of you to give it to you. Otherwise, just keep making trouble. they can ask you to transfer to another school or take a leave of absence. Anyway, just make trouble. Just make trouble.]

  [However, they made a serious mistake... They thought that no one would be willing to stand up for you, a "bad kid who hurt his classmates," and they also thought that in order for you to continue studying in school, Father Enrique should lead you to surrender. Finally, they thought that under the good advice of the church, you should apologize on your own initiative under their constant pressure and in the spirit of "not causing trouble."]

  [But... this is just what they think.]

  [They didn't realize exactly how much Father Enrique cared about you, and how much the church supported you in certain aspects... or anyone else didn't realize this. After all, making a big fuss just for a child, especially an adopted child... It's really hard to see in the church.]

  [But in the end, everything happened just like this...]

  ————————

  [Entry: Pious Person (Blue), has taken effect.]

  [It is easier for you to get help from the "church"!]

  ————————

  [Initially, Father Enrique learned the whole story from you, and after learning more details from the teacher on duty that day and another injured student, he began to persuade you.]

  [Father Enrique first stated that he would not blame you because you did this to protect someone, and you had no intention of using violence at the beginning, but you were forced to hurt others in the end. And judging from the situation, you just wanted to protect yourself from more harm...so he would not blame you.]

  [At the same time, he also encouraged you. After all, no matter what, your kindness in wanting to protect others is worth encouraging and praising. Therefore... he will help you. Not to mention, you are actually more right in this matter.]

  [So from now on... let the adults take responsibility. Protecting and guiding children like you is exactly what they should do.]

  [So, the whole thing started to go in a direction that they, the parents who were causing the trouble, had never expected.]

  [First of all, Father Enrique did not lead you to surrender, but instead took a tougher attitude than them, indicating that you were not wrong, because, under the circumstances at the time, you were simply trying to protect yourself... Is self-protection also a sin?]

  [Secondly, you wanted to help others in the beginning. Is this idea wrong? Not to mention that you didn't even fight back when you were beaten at the beginning. You still have scars on your body, but they are not particularly serious. It's just that your patience and concession did not receive the response and respect you deserved, but instead attracted stronger malice, which forced you to fight back.]

  [What? You are allowed to hit others, but they are not allowed to hit you back? What kind of logic is this?]

  [The last and most serious thing is that their children have done similar things several times in school, threatening and even hurting classmates, but in the end, the matter was suppressed.]

  [So no matter how you look at it, you are more right in this matter.]

  [At the same time, Father Enrique also suggested that the school should take a good look at the environment on campus... This is a big problem.]

[Father Enrique then used his connections to compensate them for the medical expenses... After all, it was because of you that the other party's child was hospitalized. Based on the facts, you can compensate them, but the extra... Don't even think about it.]

  [On the other hand, we should be prepared to deal with their more unreasonable actions.]

  [On this point, Father Enrique was overthinking... Because after learning about your situation, Mother Teresa also sent her concern and regards, and the theological scholar who once taught you the "meditation" method also said that he would help deal with this matter after learning about your situation. He also sent you some regards, and his words were full of enthusiasm and love for you... Hiss, it's a bit scary, what's going on?]

  [Then, maybe because the commotion was a little too loud, the church also took notice... and then things got even worse.]

  [At this point, those parents realized that they had gone too far. If the matter got out of hand, they might be able to gain some benefits and get some advantages by being unreasonable. But when the matter got even bigger and was beyond their expectations and ability to handle... everything would "collapse."]

  [Not to mention, when the whole thing was fully sorted out, almost everyone could see that they were the ones who were not in the right. As the matter became more and more popular and gradually rose to the serious topic of "how to deal with and handle school violence," their ending was basically fixed.]

  [They must apologize to the students their children have hurt and compensate for certain losses... They asked for compensation themselves, probably because they have plenty of money, so they want to use the money to ease the anger of those students and parents to prevent them from continuing to bite the bullet at this time.]

  [Secondly... their child must transfer to another school because their child has been "socially ruined" by this incident, and they also have to move to another place to avoid the limelight.]

  [In the end, their relative was expelled from the school as a matter of course, in order to calm public opinion and anger.]

  [And after they left, their family somehow started to become more and more unlucky. All kinds of bad things happened one after another, and in the end, they had to spend money to avoid disaster. Their originally wealthy life gradually faded away, and they began to become increasingly poor.]

  [Maybe it's because of the change in his family's circumstances, or maybe it's because of the blow your incident dealt him, or maybe it's both. After arriving at the new school, he gradually changed himself, put away his original attitude as the principal, and became more and more well-behaved... There's nothing I can do. My family has seriously warned him not to cause trouble again. They no longer have that much spare money and energy to help him deal with these trivial matters.]

  [But fortunately, maybe they have hit rock bottom and rebounded, or maybe God has mercy on them. After their children became well-behaved, their family's situation has gradually improved. Although they are not as wealthy as before, at least they are not living in such a tight spot.]

  「Well... you don't know this, so don't worry.」

  「As for the impact this incident had on you... yes, you felt a little sorry for causing trouble for Father Enrique.」

  [Although Father Enrique did not blame you and said that you did not make any mistakes, you still feel that you did not do it right, not well, or... not good enough.]

  [If only we could find a way to hit someone without causing them too much harm, and a way to make them feel pain without sending them to the hospital...]

  ['sigh… eh? Why not just study medicine in the future?' You think so.]

  [Study the human body more and find those places where hitting people will cause extreme pain but will not cause particularly serious consequences... Wouldn't it be better? It can teach people a lesson without causing them to suffer too serious consequences.]

  ['And if I study medicine, I can save others in the future. Hmm... It feels good. Let's do this! Try to work hard in this direction!' You made a decision in your heart.]

  ————————

  [Entry: Enlightenment (Purple), has taken effect.]

  You have set the path for the future.

  ————————

  [Also, your popularity in school... has become a little weird because of this incident.]

  [Some people think you are a good person because you are very brave, and in the end, not only did you drive away the person who hurt you, but you also made them pay the price and made them apologize to the person they had hurt... Although this cannot make up for the damage that was once left, it is enough.]

  [But others think you are dangerous... Again, you beat someone up and sent him to the hospital. Even though you only hit him a little harder, rumors spread like this. As time goes by, it becomes that you beat that person up and sent him to the hospital... Well, it's hard for you to say.]

[Also, there are rumors that you are pretending to be a good student. You are actually a guy who uses 'obscene words' at will, and your tone and attitude are not as gentle as they appear... In short, you have another side.]

  [It is probably because of these reasons that these people choose to stay away from you.]

  [Other people also chose to keep a certain distance from you... because from this incident, they can see that you are not someone who can be easily messed with.]

  [But you don't really care about it, and you still treat others with the same attitude as before, helping here and chatting there. In addition to practicing your instrument, you exercise and occasionally accept invitations to go out and play with others.]

  [Like you said, as an outstanding person, just show yourself like a star. Someone will come to you and chase you. If you feel lonely... haha, there will always be similar stars shining, and then you will know where your companions are.]

  [And there was a small unexpected incident during this process... that is, Vill-V started to talk to you actively.]

  [When everyone else subconsciously keeps a distance from you, Vill-V, who is 'socially anxious,' starts to actively close the distance between you and her.]

  [Although she still seems a little timid in her words, she is much better now than before... Even if it's just you, this is undoubtedly a good start.]

  [And you can often feel her gaze lingering on you. When you are communicating, her words will also reveal her... envy of you? Sometimes you can also find that she wants to say something to you, but after opening her mouth, she swallows it back, as if she wants to discuss something with you, but she is hesitating.]

[Until one day, you stayed in the school's music room after school to practice your instrument as usual, and Vill-V came up to you quietly... She seemed to want to talk to you about something.]

  [You naturally agreed to this happily. You felt that this was a good time to 'enlighten' Vill-V.]

  [After hesitating for a while, Vill-V seemed to have made up her mind and slowly told you about her experience.]

  [After skipping a grade, she tried hard to communicate with others and make friends with them with the encouragement of her parents, in order to change her 'social phobia'... and then she was threatened and intimidated.]

  [The reason is simple and ridiculous – it's simply out of jealousy, jealous of Vill-V's talent, and even spreading rumors that Vill-V's grades were obtained by cheating.]

  [Although this rumor quickly disappeared with the help of the teacher, the first time she showed goodwill to others and took the initiative to contact others, she ended up with such a response. This aggravated Vill-V's 'social phobia,' and she deliberately lowered her grades because of the intimidation.]

  [She didn't want to cause trouble, nor did she want those people to come after her, and it wasn't that difficult for her to control her grades... And before, because her grades were too good, and she was not good at communicating, she was not very popular in the class. So Vill-V thought, if she was like everyone else, and her grades were close to others, would everyone accept her? At least they would have a common language, right?]

[This method is indeed effective, but not many people do it... because although the scores are similar, problems will arise after actual contact - other people get 90 points because they try their best, but Vill-V gets 90 points because she wants to get 90 points. The difference between them can be imagined.]

[So even if other people come to Vill-V because of similar academic performance, when they study with each other in private, Vill-V will be exposed... When faced with a difficult knowledge point, Vill-V does not understand why others cannot grasp it, because it is easy for her; and other people do not understand why Vill-V does not realize that they are struggling with it, as it seems very simple to her.]

  [And even if Vill-V wanted to help others by explaining, well, with her current 'eloquence', it would be really difficult for her to explain it clearly.]

  [As a result, Vill-V's idea of controlling her grades to fit in with the group was also thwarted. As a result, she also lost the attention of her teacher due to her 'falling' grades. More importantly, after a series of setbacks, she no longer wanted to show herself... So she decided to let it be.]

  [It's not bad to blend in with the group and be a nobody. It also saves you from standing out too much and attracting those people… It doesn't matter if you don't have friends. You'll be alone at the beginning anyway, haha…]

  [And then Vill-V became what she is now... As for why Vill-V didn't tell her parents about what happened to her, she was a little embarrassed and said she didn't dare, and she didn't want to make her parents worry.]

  [She had promised her parents at the beginning that she would overcome her social phobia bit by bit, but in the end, it became even worse, which made Vill-V even more afraid to tell her parents about her situation... As for the fact that she was threatened, Vill-V also chose to stay quiet after learning about the experiences of other classmates who encountered similar situations... Anyway, it wasn't difficult for her to control her grades.]

  [Hmm… I'm saying is.]

  [the fact that Vill-V can talk about this at least shows she has the desire to change... That's great, isn't it?]

  [But then, Vill-V expressed her envy of you.]

  […ah?]

  [According to Vill-V, she envies you for being so cheerful, confident in everything you do, and for excelling at whatever you attempt. Your musical talent is even more amazing... Others can't even envy you; they can only sigh.]

  [Additionally, when facing threats, she also envies how you can start off fully polite but then, in a second, switch without hesitation and knock down the person threatening you.]

  [As she spoke, she even imitated your tone and made a few gestures based on her imagination... Honestly, her imitation was pretty good.]

  [Vill-V sighed, saying she wishes she could be like you, able to express herself confidently and excel in everything.]

  [You told her to just be herself... and that her imitation of your tone was quite spot-on.]

  ['Hmm? ... eh?']

  [After hearing your praise, Vill-V suddenly fell silent.]

  [She seems to have some idea.]
