Special Side Story 2

4.

Of course, Raymond had warned her repeatedly that reality would be different from imagination. But even so, the shock Rebecca experienced was beyond imagination.

“You’re not acting up because you trust your father, are you?”

“No, sir!”

“Then why do you keep slouching? Stand up straight!”

“Yes, sir!”

Rebecca felt wronged by the upperclassmen’s unreasonable harassment.

To dismiss it as something everyone goes through, the treatment she received was clearly different from those around her. Having an accomplished father could be an advantage, but she never imagined it would have negative effects. In Rebecca’s mind, being the child of a great person should naturally mean getting along better with others and having good relationships.

However, that was Rebecca’s arrogance.

In the closed environment of the school, jealousy was not subject to outside intervention. And the nature of the military school also played a part. Rebecca was greatly shocked when she saw a classmate who had been beaten until his buttocks were dented being carried away, yet unable to name the perpetrator. Neither the victim nor the witnesses wanted to report it, and the teacher who formally counseled them never expected them to speak up.

‘It’s the weak one’s fault!’

Strip away the senior-junior rank insignia and it comes down to family status. Rebecca gritted her teeth.

Shouldn’t greater corruption be met with even greater corruption? Hey, is there anyone among you richer than my family? Anyone with more medals than my father? Such fantasies.

“….”

Of course, if she told her parents, the matter would be resolved immediately.

Rebecca thought of her parents who would surely worry about her. Certainly, with just one letter, Karen and Raymond, who cherished her dearly, would come quickly. And they had the ability to thoroughly carry out both public and private retaliation against the families of those who harassed her. But Rebecca thought of the first words that would come out.

‘I knew this would happen. Let’s go home.’

‘I’d rather die!’

What sustained Rebecca was her pride. Her mother Karen had naturally worried about this. She opposed it, worried, and recommended finding a good husband. That was worse than death. Rebecca weighed her pride. It was bearable.

“Hey, you got a perfect score on the written exam last time?”

“Thank you, sir!”

“That’s not a compliment.”

“I’m sorry, sir!”

“Are you mocking me? What are you sorry for?”

Of course, there was nothing to be sorry for.

Now even getting good grades is a problem? Rebecca’s irritation rose to the top of her head. And onto Rebecca’s buttocks, thick books were piled. When the books began to exceed 10, Rebecca’s body started to shake. The upperclassmen’s giggling laughter could be heard watching this.

“Endure more. Studying is done with your buttocks.”

“….”

Ah, I want to shoot them all with a gun.

After that, Rebecca had to help not only with her own studies, but also with the upperclassmen’s studies.

* * *

“This isn’t the school life I imagined.”

“Then did you have some kind of romantic notion about the military academy?”

Her roommate Betty pushed Rebecca’s book aside and sat next to her. She too was doing assignments for the upperclassmen. Rebecca muttered while lying face down.

“Even if it was hard, I didn’t know it would be this childishly petty. I’ve never dealt with men like this before.”

“Heh.”

“I didn’t know there would be so many people who could hit me….”

No matter how wildly she had lived, Rebecca was a count’s daughter, and her parents were celebrities in social circles.

People might whisper behind her back to look at her state, but in 18 years of life, no one had ever treated her rudely to her face. Especially men treating her roughly was unthinkable. No matter how rough things got, she was the only daughter of the Sayertes County with vast wealth.

“At least if they were female upperclassmen, I wouldn’t be this angry.”

“That’s because you haven’t experienced it. All dormitories are shit.”

“Shi….”

“Fucking shit.”

What a shock.

Rebecca blinked as she looked at Betty.

Betty, the youngest daughter of Baron Lace, had been passed around between convents and relatives’ houses due to complicated family circumstances, so the military school didn’t seem that difficult for her. Betty offered Rebecca some ointment.

“Take it, you shouldn’t have scars.”

“Thanks.”

When she became an upperclassman, she would absolutely never engage in such bad practices. Rebecca sighed deeply as she applied the ointment to the inside of her neck.

“If it’s too hard, why don’t you quit? You have reliable parents.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Okay.”

Betty didn’t ask any more.

And Rebecca didn’t say any more either.

That evening’s meal was also disgustingly tasteless.

“Don’t leave anything, this is precious tax money too!”

“….”

“Ah, and you need to eat more meat.”

“Excuse me?”

“Here, eat this too. It’s your senior’s love.”

—Splash.

This crosses the line.

Rebecca looked down at the bird carcass that had fallen into her soup, feathers and all.

The hand holding the spoon trembled.

‘Should I kill him?’

“If you think I’ll go easy on you because you’re a woman, you’re mistaken.”

He should first think about how she’s been going easy on him because he’s an upperclassman.

Rebecca bit her lips as she watched the giggling upperclassmen. Seeing her trembling face, the upperclassman frowned.

“What’s this?”

Clang, Rebecca suddenly stood up, put down the spoon, and swung her fist at his jaw.

—Thwack!

His jaw turned cleanly. Rebecca didn’t stop and kicked his solar plexus. A commotion broke out.

“This crazy bitch!”

Rebecca punched the next person who grabbed her arm in the nose. He immediately fell backward. Then Rebecca headbutted the jaw of someone approaching from behind, and tried to stab a fork into the eyes of the next person rushing at her.

“Rebecca Sayertes! A letter from your parents!”

At that moment, the supervisor separated them and handed her a letter.

“What are you all doing right now!”

“Freshman Rebecca Sayertes assaulted the upperclassmen!”

“It was one-sided violence, look!”

The upperclassmen complained while pointing to their bleeding noses and lips.

But considering the number of people hit compared to the one person who did the hitting, it was obvious. And Rebecca was a woman much smaller in build than them. The supervisor looked at them with a frown, then looked at Rebecca’s soup bowl. The supervisor frowned when he saw what was in Rebecca’s soup.

“That’s inedible, take it away and throw it out.”

“…Yes.”

“Now.”

“Thank you.”

Rebecca bowed her head and expressed gratitude to the supervisor who had helped her.

“Look at how we were beaten, this is grounds for expulsion!”

“Why are you deciding on expulsion? If you’re wronged, tell the principal.”

“….”

They didn’t want the matter to escalate either.

It was famous that Count Raymond had made an enormous donation to get Rebecca admitted. If the matter escalated, it was obvious whose side the principal would take.

“Everyone disperse, and don’t talk back anymore unless you think I’m an idiot.”

“….”

Today was another rough day.

Rebecca calmed her ragged breathing and looked at the small telegram and letter the supervisor had given her. The telegram stated when her parents would arrive, and the letter was long.

“Mom really….”

In a place like this, nothing was more comforting than a letter from family. Somehow tears welled up. Just a little more endurance and it would be vacation. She had to work hard. Rebecca tore open the thick letter with a knife and looked inside. The dense papers weren’t a letter.

“What is this?”

They were documents.

Rebecca tilted her head as she read through the document from top to bottom.

“…What is this.”

Seeing Rebecca’s face turn pale as a sheet, the surrounding students peered over and saw the contents.

“Wow.”

“Oh….”

It was a divorce application.

With Mother and Father’s names written on it.

A quiet shock spread through the surroundings in an instant.

* * *

Karen was finishing adjusting her outfit when she saw the letter on the tray and tilted her head. The letter that should have been sent to Rebecca was sitting right there.

“Oh my, why wasn’t the letter sent? Donna, didn’t you say you sent the letter?”

“Huh? Yes, I sent it.”

“But the letter wasn’t sent?”

“No, ma’am. I definitely sent what you put here by express mail… Oh.”

Karen’s eyes met Donna’s.

The letter and the divorce papers she had written as a joke had been switched.

“Oh my….”

“….”
