The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 356 - Teenagers And Jealousy



"So, you don't remember anything?" Headmistress Mo frowned.

"It might be trauma." Another instructor who introduced herself as a healer said. "This usually happens to anyone who lost someone important to them. This might explain the fainting even if she didn't sustain any injuries."

The two of them stared at her, shaking their heads. Still, Anna thought, they looked relieved after hearing that she couldn't remember anything.

"I already informed the Royals about this and, well… they are going to send another healer to examine you. Of course, you don't have to worry about it. They are doing this for protocol." The headmistress said. "For now, I want you to start joining classes…"

"Headmistress that might not be healthy!" the healer named Sandra said. "You know how the shadow pack…" Sensing the sudden change in the atmosphere, Sandra stopped talking. She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…"

"Sandra, please leave us."

"I understand." Sandra immediately bolted out of the room.

"Please excuse Sandra's rudeness." Headmistress Mo said. "I know you are well aware that out of the five packs in this kingdom, the Shadow Packs… didn't send their wolves to the academy. Isaac, your father was insistent that we couldn't teach you anything special. I tried to argue that socializing among wolves is healthy. But the King agreed with him. Because of this, there has been jealousy among the packs. Some of them… started thinking that the king favored your father too much."

Anna just stared at the woman. No. It was more like the King was scared of Isaac. After all, just like Anna, her father Isaac could transform too. However, he couldn't do a full transformation and could only choose to transform a part of his body. Usually, he would transform his arm into that of a Lycan.

This made Isaac stronger.

However, this only attracted jealousy and hatred.

Since she woke up in this body, Anna realized her father wanted to hide her ability to avoid jealousy. He only wanted her daughter to live a normal life.

It is better to let other people think she is a weakling, protected by her father, than for them to be wary of her.

Still, this realization only made her more confused.

Her father was one of the strongest! Aside from this, Aurora had the same ability as Isaac. She, too, could transform a part of her body!

This made the two the strongest couple in this kingdom.

Rumor has it that Isaac and Aurora might be stronger than the current king and queen of Lycae Kingdom.

But if they were this strong… then… how the hell did they die?

She hated that she couldn't remember, aside from the strong smell of blood.

It seems that the original soul was indeed traumatized.

"I have a question."

"What is it?"

"What about my parents… body?" She gulped and lowered her head. She knew that her acting skills were impeccable and she could easily use this to fool anyone.

"Ah… the King took the liberty to cremate everyone in the pack. You have been sleeping for too long. The healers didn't even know what was wrong. So… we just…"

"I understand."

Surprise flashed on the woman's face. "Then… please stay in your room in the meantime. Please do not go out on your own. Right now, the students were already aware that you are staying inside the school. I don't want… any incident to happen."

'So, this woman was underestimating her,' Anna smiled inwardly. It seems that the rumor about her father being overly protected reached the ears of the other pack leaders.

They must be thinking that her father didn't want her to come to this school because she didn't want to expose his daughter.

Pathetic.

"Alright… you can leave now."

Anna nodded, then left the office without saying another word.

The headmistress's office was actually in another castle. Compared to the castle where she was staying, this place was very luxurious. It had marble tiles and beautiful chandeliers that lined the hallway. Large arched windows provided some good lighting and made each room look bigger.

Contrary to this, the castle that she was staying in was old.

She thought she spotted some spiders crawling next to her rectangular window just the other day.

From the smell, it was pretty obvious that no one was living in that place before she came.

Now…

Why would the headmistress do that?

"Oh… look at that…."

"Isn't that…"

"Matthews… "

Anna stopped walking. She eyed the group of teenagers standing by the hallway. It wasn't surprising that other students also visited this building. After all, this was the headmistress's office. However, these people looked like they were waiting for her?

She looked back.

The office wasn't really that far away.

If these people wanted to gang up on her, why do it when she was still in the building?

"Hey, we heard a new student is going to start next week."

"We heard about the Shadow Pack." A woman with brown hair smirked. "We are here to offer our condolences."

Hearing this, Anna tried to walk passed them.

"Hey! We are still talking to you!"

"What a disrespectful brat."

"Did you think someone would be able to help you here?"

"Aren't you just an orphan?"

"Are you going to run to your daddy and asked him to help you?"

Anna halted her steps.

This group of teenagers hated her pack. But why?

Was it just because of jealousy?

Sadly, the previous Anna had no friends outside of the pack and she spent most of her time training, so she didn't know anything about this.

"Hey… if you want to bully someone, do it out of this building. You are too noisy!"

Anna's heart suddenly skipped when she heard Mo Li.

She turned to her left and found him… sitting on one of the windows. He had an apple in his right hand.

"Mo— "

"What? You wanna say something?" Mo Li glared at the woman.

"N — No. We are leaving." The woman paled, then she practically run away from them.

Uh…

Confused, Anna looked at Mo Li, then towards the group of teenagers who were sprinting out of the castle.

"What are you looking at?" Mo Li glared at her.
