In other words, Gar didn't see Nina's embarrassing moment; he only found it noisy and annoying. Otherwise, Nina would have faced double the torment.
Just as Nina had suspected, the old swordsman was ready to give Nina a good beating.
It didn't matter before; the little girl could do whatever she wanted, as long as her swordsmanship was passable, we'd just turn a blind eye.
Things are different now. They've gotten so bad that they can't even beat a novice swordsman, which makes the old sword god feel extremely ashamed.
Without saying much, the four of them gathered together at noon.
Roya, Rudius, Iris, and Kyrie.
Luo Ya's face was gloomy, all his usual sunny and cheerful demeanor had disappeared, and he exuded an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
Rudius opened his mouth, wanting to say something in defense of Alice, but after being glared at fiercely by Roya, he fell silent.
Kyrie Irvine, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the show, a smile of interest on his face, his lips curled up, standing aside as if he didn't mind watching the drama unfold.
Alice lowered her head and remained silent.
The girl remained silent. Although she dared not speak due to Roya's intimidating power, she believed that she had not done anything wrong.
Alice also had a cut on her face, but compared to Nina, Alice's injuries were negligible.
Seeing Alice's behavior, Roya naturally knew what Alice was thinking and couldn't help but sigh.
"Alice, do you know what you did wrong?" Roya asked in a flat tone, his pale golden eyes fixed on Alice's face hidden in the shadows.
Alice remained silent, but often, silence is an attitude.
It's just that her determination to stand up to herself is remarkable; it's rare to see a girl with such a strong personality.
Roya didn't speak, he just looked at Alice.
Rudius glanced up at Alice discreetly, then quickly looked away.
Rudius is also panicking now, afraid of being targeted and punished.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Rudius did nothing; in fact, he did nothing at all, and that's precisely the problem with Rudius.
We got carried away chatting and, on a whim, started bragging to each other with the students, completely forgetting about what was going on with Alice.
When he heard the sound of Alice falling to the ground and the shouts of the crowd, Rudius finally reacted and hurriedly rushed towards Alice's location.
I rushed there, but it was too late.
The incident happened too suddenly, and Rudius couldn't help at all, watching as Alice was bullied by others.
Oh, scratch that, Alice bullies others.
Well, although Alice didn't suffer any losses, it was really wrong of me, as her companion, not to stand up for her.
In short, Rudius had no right to speak.
Gilead had always trusted Roja completely and believed that Roja was doing a good job educating Alice. He thought it was perfectly fine to entrust Alice to Roja's care. So Gilead remained silent and stood by to watch the show.
The silence didn't last long. Roya walked up to Alice, reached out and lifted the girl's chin. Her little face, covered in mud, lifted up, and her fiery red eyes stared straight into Roya's eyes.
Alice showed no sign of backing down; she believed that if she had done nothing wrong, then there was no problem.
However, her eyes were slightly red, because Alice felt wronged. She hadn't done anything wrong, but Roya insisted that she had.
She was the one who provoked me first, so why am I the one getting scolded?
The girl's determination made Roya feel somewhat troubled at this moment.
Roya sighed and reached out to stroke the girl's forehead, saying, "Alice, you were too impulsive. You need to consider the consequences of many things. This isn't your home. Have you thought about what the consequences of what you did would be?"
Alice slapped Cairoya's hand, feeling anger for the first time. The girl shouted, "Do you expect her to beat me up?"
Roya didn't speak, but looked at Alice.
This time, Alice could no longer hold back and began to sob.
Even when struck by the old swordsman's wooden sword, Alice wouldn't cry; even when punched in the face, Alice didn't care.
But being questioned by Roya made Alice feel very uncomfortable.
Kyrie Irvine glanced at the weeping Alice, then at the still calm and collected Roya, pondered for a moment, and chose to remain silent.
Roya must have his own way, right? Probably?
Roya sighed and asked, "Alice, do you really think she came here specifically to fight you?"
“Isn’t that right?” Alice retorted loudly.
Fortunately, the students nearby had already left, otherwise there might have been many more onlookers.
Luo Ya is having a lot of headaches because his daughter is becoming increasingly stubborn. His sweet little girl is getting more and more difficult to manage.
Chapter 261 The Girl Who Gives You a Headache
Life is tough, Luo Ya sighed.
Roya activated his persona to try and calm Alice down.
The Immaculate Body was passively activated, and a gentle aura emanated from Roya, replacing the sharp and oppressive feeling.
Punishment is not the goal; the real goal is to teach the other party a lesson.
Roya lowered his head, wiped away the girl's tears, and said gently, "Alice, you need to be more patient. I know you feel wronged, but things aren't as you think. Look at Rudius, why is he able to get along with everyone?"
Rudius, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was inexplicably called out and looked puzzled.
Alice glanced at Rudius and sneered, "He's so glib and good at talking, it's no wonder he can get along with everyone."
Ludius: ? ? ?
What does "smooth-talking" mean? Say it again.
Roya continued, "Have you ever considered that Nina actually came here wanting to be your friend?"
Alice retorted, "Would I want to be friends with someone like her?"
Luo Ya asked, "Did she start by hurling insults at you the moment you met? Was she ready to punch you right away?"
Alice nodded.
That's how she saw it. Someone inexplicably came over and grabbed her collar. Wasn't that a provocation and a desire to fight?
Luo Ya choked, and continued irritably, "She definitely didn't say that at first. You must have done something to make her very unhappy. Think about it carefully."
Alice recalled, and insisted, "That guy came here to cause trouble."
Luo Ya was speechless.
No matter what Luo Ya said, he couldn't persuade the girl, which made him feel very helpless.
After thinking for a moment, Roya asked, "Alice, do you remember the first time we met?"
Alice nodded and said, "I remember, I was really annoyed with you guys back then."
Roya continued, "If Alice wanted to make friends, how would she ask?"
Alice paused, pondering in her mind what she would say.
Roya coaxed, "Would you end up like Nina?"
Alice pondered silently, Alice fell into deep thought, Alice suddenly realized.
It seems that, just as Roya said, if Alice wanted to make friends, given her current somewhat shy attitude, she would probably say something rather blunt.
"No!" Alice sensed something was wrong and shouted, "She attacked first!"
If things continue like this, it's possible that I really am the one who made the mistake.
Alice had a vague suspicion in her mind, but her pride as a girl made it impossible for her to accept the fact.
“You already know the problem, don’t you?” Roya smiled, not denying Alice’s words.
"I," Alice couldn't speak.
Roya continued, "Actually, Nina was wrong too, wasn't she? Why couldn't she be more frank? More frank like Rudius? Why did she provoke you first, even though you felt you hadn't done anything?"
Alice nodded subconsciously. She wasn't very bright, but she agreed with what Roya said.
Exactly, why not be more frank when making friends? If you want to teach someone, just say so. Acting all arrogant makes everyone think she's there to cause trouble.
But then, Roya changed the subject, saying, "But, Alice, aren't you right? Do you think you were right about your previous point?"
Alice remained silent.
She wanted to argue, but given that the other party was in the wrong first, she herself didn't seem as perfect as she imagined.
Roya sighed, "Alice, you should be more patient. You don't need much patience, but you must have some. I don't expect you to be like Rudius, but at least have the patience to listen to what the other person has to say, and think about it for a bit. That should be enough, right?"
Alice's face flushed red. Although Alice was often domineering, that did not mean she was unreasonable.
This time, Alice thought she was on the moral high ground and that she had done nothing wrong. However, she was ridiculed by Roya's words and could no longer feel aggrieved.
The orc warrior standing to the side nodded, and Kyrie said to Alice, "In our orc race, we apologize for our mistakes. Alice, although you are not one of our kind, I think you should apologize."
Alice lowered her head, her muddy face flushed red, and she stammered, "I...I was wrong."
Roya shrugged and said, "The person you should apologize to is not me, but the girl you beat up."
"Huh?" Alice exclaimed in surprise. It was clear that the girl didn't really want to apologize to Nina.
