Muffled cry of agony.

"You know what? We should teach this girl a lesson of not to cross her boundaries!"

"I know right!"

The three of them gave off ill intent, before Hanabi gave orders to Miyako and Fuyuki.

They both grabbed the two arms and legs of Ayane, who seemed to have given up resisting the torture.

"I will show you the results of messing with us.", Hanabi said.

"But I did not even mess with you.", Ayane accidentally blurted out, which was supposed to be her thoughts.

"What did you say!?", Hanabi exclaimed.

With full force, she slapped Ayane on the face, whose sound echoed through the classroom. Within moments, her face became red. It was hot inside, and she was sweating.

"I shouldn't have said that.", Ayane thought.

"You are willing to stand up against us. We will show you who rules this place."

With moments of notice, Hanabi grabbed underneath her arm, on the brused area and pinched as hard as she could. It was already severly bruised, and she was just adding more suffering.

Ayane tried to scream, twiching her body to break free, but her mouth was made shut by Hanabi.

"You can't scream for help now, can you?", Hanabi said, with guilty joy in her face.

With her muffled voice, she could do nothing but cry in agony.

A few moments later, when she stopped crying, Hanabi again pinched her, in the same exact spot, this time she also twisted the skin, to make the pain even worse.

"Ah, I wished I just jumped off that bridge the other day.", she said, as they continued.

The pain was so severe that her pain receptors became numb, and the area started to bleed internally, causing it to have a blackish tint. They could feel it too, the roughness of the past bruise on her skin, but they couldn't care less about it.

But they eventually got scared of how horrible the bruise seemed after they had done this, so they left Ayane down on the floor.

"You deserve this.", Hanabi said, before giving her a kick in her leg and going out of the classroom, so as Fuyuki and Miyako did, but their kicks was lighter than hers.

As the three of them walked down and hurried to go away from the crime scene, they arrived at the entrance of the school, whyer Kanako was standing, waiting for someone.

The three of them rushed to his presence, encircling him on the spot.

"Kanako-senpai! How was you day?", they asked.

"It was good. Thanks for asking, Hanabi-san, Fuyuki-san and Miyako-san."

Kanako knew them as they frequently greeted him and initiated small talk with him. But he was not particularly interested.

"By the way, there was someone in you class. Her name is Ayane. Did you girls by some chance, see her?"

Their expression soured up at hearing the name of Ayane.

"Ah! Ayane-chan! She is a friend of ours! She said she had urgent work, so she left early!", Fuyuki said.

"Yes! Thats right!", Miyako confirmed.

"Oh! So you girls are friends of her! Thanks for taking care of her!"

"No bigges.", Hanabi said, with a fake smile.

All of them pushed him with them to walk with them, as they went to their homes.

Ayane didn't go the school the next day...
