A grin full of amusement appeared on Seiren’s face as she stared down at Ellyn. She was still on the ground looking downward to avoid eye contact with the three of them.
It wasn’t like she doesn’t want to get out of this situation or she couldn’t. The fact is, they knew something about her, and if that something got out then it’ll spell trouble for Ellyn even worse than what she’s facing now. Hence, she decided to endure it.
<strong>-Smack!</strong>
“Ahh!”
A second later a kick connected on Ellyn’s face, taken completely by surprise she rolled onto the side. She was attacked not by Seiren but by Wrena, she was the one standing right beside Ellyn.
“You don’t have any idea how much I wanted to kick in that face of yours! Now that I have gotten the chance to do it, don’t think I’m going to hold back even a bit.”
<strong>-Thud!</strong>
Another one of Wrena’s kicks hit Ellyn; this one was delivered to the abdomen.
“…All the time you were with Leon, manipulating him to play your bidding!”
<strong>-Thud!</strong>
“Like a filthy bitch! You were just using him for your own benefit!”
<strong>-Thud!</strong>
She kept kicking her, again and again, and again. Ellyn’s pained groans didn’t have the least bit of impact on the three girls. All they wanted was to beat the shit out of the girl who—according to their point of view, stole their lover.

However, the thing about her using Leon was not something they were aware of. The sentences Wrena was shouting while beating Ellyn were provided by that student—Zero.
He was asked about what this is all about but he just answered, “She is using her to maintain her reputation in the academy. Since you know, Leon is the strongest of this year and all.”
And this just made them hate Ellyn even more.
Of course, what he said was indeed questionable, anyone in their right mind won’t believe stuff like that until they saw legit proof backing it up. But these three girls were already blinded by love and revenge; both of them are strong emotions, and also destructive if gone out of control.
With being a bit on the yandere side, this exactly was what happened with Seiren, Wrena, and Alada.
Also, once they witnessed that Ellyn really came to the rooftop after reading that letter and was being intimated by them—a thing that never happened before, was enough proof to make them believe Zero.
They thought that they are moving at their own will and making decisions by themselves; deciding what to believe and what not to. But in reality, they were moving on the basis of the false information Zero fed them.
“Now, now, Wrena. Don’t have all the fun alone, this bitch pissed me off to my limits. Let me participate too,” said Seiren as she cracked her knuckles and gazed at Ellyn—who was constantly being kicked by Wrena.
“Yeah, feel free to,” Wrena replied, and with one last kick she stopped and took a breath.
Seiren grabbed Ellyn’s hair and forcefully yanked her head up. “S-Stop it…It hurts!” a pained, pleading voice left Ellyn’s mouth as she begged for this to stop.
“It hurts? Yeah, that’s what we want you to feel.”
Ellyn wept at having her hair pulled, and pleaded, but Seiren only laughed like she was enjoying it—which she really was. After all, this was the moment she dreamed of.
She smacked her against the wall; Ellyn’s head hit the concrete behind, causing her to let out a loud scream. Seiren moved forward, with murderous intent in her eyes.
“Ahh…Ha!” Ellyn gasped for air right after Seiren delivered a hard punch to her stomach.
Blood came out of her mouth, as well as tears streaming down her face.
“Please! Stop it…isn’t it enough!” Ellyn said as she looked at Seiren with her teary eyes.
Seiren gave her a menacing look before she said, “Enough, huh? It’ll never be enough. Not even killing you.”
At this point, Ellyn was in pain. She received multiple kicks from Wrena directly on her stomach. Her muscles were throbbing from pain and she was able to feel her upper body tearing apart.
A part of this was precisely because as the heiress of the Rosenberg family, she had never got beaten before. Her body was sensitive.
“Come on, Alada. Join us. It’s not like you don’t have any grudge against this bitch, do you?” offered Seiren, looking at Alada who stood at a distance—watching the events unfold before her eyes.
There was a reason she hadn’t acted until now. Among the three, she was the least aggressive one. She was just watching Ellyn getting beaten to a pulp and was enjoying it from afar.
A part of this was due to her personality. If she had to fight a war, she’ll prefer to do it mentally in a game of chess. Not a genius but she was at least better than the other two in terms of wittiness.
When Zero came to meet them, she was the one who acted most rationally and logically.
This, however, doesn’t mean that violence was completely out of her plate.
“Well, I might just do it then. Never know when I’ll get a chance like this again,” she mumbled and moved toward Ellyn.
A moment later she was standing right in front of her, “Tell me, Ellyn. Why are you so obsessed with Leon? I know you don’t love him, I have determined that much from your behavior. Then what is it?” she asked.
Ellyn averted her eyes and looked to the side as she said, “You said you already know, don’t you?”
“Yes, I do know. But I want to hear it from your mouth.”
Ellyn remained silent, only the sound of her breathing could be heard. For some reason, she was not looking either of them in the eye. Then, after a long pause, she said.
“I don’t want to spell it.”
