Chapter 424: Degradation
Since that time Layla rescued Louisa in the bathroom, the two have not spoken again, and they have not even met alone, it is Luisa who is unilaterally tracking Layla, and it is not 24 hours a day, it is usually just a lunch break, so Layla looks at Luisa and feels familiar, but the two have changed a lot in a year, she didn't recognize it at once, and she couldn't call Luisa's name.
Layla saw Luisa sitting on the ground, and thought she had been hit with a bat by the girls when she wasn't looking, so she crouched down and asked, "Hey, are you okay?
"I didn't ...... I'm fine, I should be fine, I might just be fine with a rest......" Luisa said weakly.
"What do you mean that you should be fine? Something is something, it's okay, it's okay, did they hit you in the head?" Layla frowned.
"No, there is no ...... I didn't get hit by them. ”
"Why did you sit on the floor when you weren't beaten?, could it be that you were hungry and had low blood sugar?" Layla casually pulled Louisa's short, stiff and curly hair, which is characteristic of black people, and didn't notice any swelling on her head.
"No, I'm not hungry...... Probably a little. ”
In fact, Louisa didn't know what was wrong with her, when Layla just grabbed her hand and wanted to take her to escape, she saw the two of them surrounded by a group, and her heart was anxious, as if something in her body surged into the hand that was held by Layla, and then disappeared, she didn't know what it was, or her own delusion, maybe it was the legendary "qi" of the Chinese people?
Along with the disappearance of that "qi", as well as her physical strength, she seemed to be hollowed out, her thigh muscles were weak, she couldn't stand anymore, she fell to the ground, and her body was weak.
She was afraid of disturbing the battle between Layla and the girls, so she kept silent, because although she was in a state of weakness, she didn't feel pain or anything like that, just simple weakness.
After Layla mentioned it, she did seem to be a little hungry, obviously she had just eaten lunch before, but fortunately the hunger was not strong.
"That's probably low blood sugar, can you stand up? Look at you so thin, are you on a diet?"
Layla looked at Luisa's body, the black girl was about the same size as a high jumper or volleyball player, the two were about the same height, but Layla estimated that she might weigh at least ten pounds more than Luisa.
"No, I'm not on a diet. ”
Luisa felt as if her strength had regained somewhat, and tried to stand up, but immediately sat down in a slump again, her strength not enough to support her to stand up.
Rei stretched out her hand and grabbed her arm and pulled Louisa up, her strength was never what it used to be, and Luisa was like a bird in her hand.
"Not on a diet?" Layla was skeptical, "would you be so thin without a diet?"
"Thank you...... I really didn't diet, I wasn't born to eat fat. ”
It's true, Luisa did not go on a diet, and the free three meals provided by the school did not make her hungry, but it may be a natural physical problem, such as a short small intestine or poor digestion in the stomach, although she is not hungry herself, but she just can't gain weight...... This may be the envy of many girls.
Layla helped her to sit down on a bench, stared into her face, and asked, "Did I see you somewhere?"
The incident that happened a year ago is etched in Luisa's heart, but for Layla, it is just a small thing that will be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
Luisa hesitated for a moment and prompted, "About a year ago, those cheerleaders used to ...... in the bathroom."
"Oh! I remember, you're the ...... Louise?" Layla snapped.
"It's Luisa. ”
"Well, Luisa, I may have confused with someone else's name. Layla nodded, "So it's really a coincidence today, you happened to be passing through here?"
Luisa, who must have been embarrassed to say that she was following people every once in a while, nodded silently, her face a little red, but not visible in her dark skin.
"Listen, Luisa, though you are brave, you should have left when I told you to leave, and it is useless for you to stay, just one more person to be beaten. Layla said with a straight face, "I know you think I saved you before, and you want to save me today, but there is no need for that, first of all, I didn't want to save you at the time, and secondly, I have to weigh my own weight to save people, otherwise I just buy one get one free." ”
Luisa had nothing to say, because Layla's words, though unkind, were all true.
She had been shouting out to stop on impulse, standing still because something was about to gush out of her body, her whole body was hot like a fever, and her brain was probably short-circuited for a short time.
"Okay, fortunately, it's safe, you don't have to take it too seriously, don't do such stupid things in the future...... But those cousins, they're going to have a lot of fun today!" said Layla gloatingly.
Luisa looked at the rags on the ground, worried that Layla's fuss might cause an uproar, after all, Layla posted photos and videos on the Internet.
Layla herself didn't care, and asked, "Can you go?" I'll send you to the school health room and have the doctor give you some glucose or something. ”
"Thank you. Luisa nodded.
Layla carries Luisa to the school health room and asks the school doctor to take care of Luisa.
"You have a good rest, I'll go first, and if anyone asks you anything, just put it all on me. ”
Layla and Luisa waved at each other, the former eager to find a place where no one was around to study the magical power in his body.
Neither she nor Luisa expected that after this meeting, the two of them would meet again in the equatorial rainforest a few years later, and Luisa would be transformed into the great sacrifice of the witchcraft tribe.
The events of that day really caused an uproar, and the whole school was in an uproar, and the videos and photos that were uploaded to the Internet will definitely not be recovered, and they have become the spell casting materials that many boys treasure on their hard drives.
The parents of the girls involved in the incident were furious and planned to collectively raise the teacher to ask for the crime, but when they pressed their children to ask them, and after learning the truth of the matter, they became anonymous, and further expanding the situation would only make their children be more blamed.
As for the confidentiality agreement signed between the girls, it was originally a joke, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it is better to expect that the twenty-odd teenage children can keep their mouths shut under external pressure, it is better to expect pie to fall from the sky, the confidentiality agreement did not play its due binding role, but became evidence of their collective bullying of their classmates.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and several girls who had been bullied by them came forward to testify about the ugly things they had done.
Most of the 20 or so girls did not return to school, but were transferred at the behest of their parents, because the school was clearly no longer able to accommodate them. Let's do it
After they left, the school had a brief period of peace.
However, with the start of the new school year and the enrollment of a new batch of students, the incidents of bullying and being bullied will continue to be repeated and will never disappear completely.
Surprisingly, Layla, who was at the center of the maelstrom in this incident, was unusually quiet, and also did not show up at school for several days, and after those girls, she also chose to drop out.
None of the students knew why Layla dropped out.
Some people speculated that she had gone too far this time, and even her parents could hardly protect her, so they arranged for her to transfer to another school to avoid the limelight.
Some people also speculate that according to Layla's character, it should be because those girls have changed schools, she can't find fun in this school, why stay and do it? Wouldn't it be lonely for a hunter who has lost her prey? It is better to continue to have fun in a new environment.
Louisa leans towards the latter guess.
In fact, they all guessed wrong, Layla dropped out of school because she found new fun, just like five or six-year-old children like to play mud and teenagers like to play games, she grew up overnight and found that this kind of fun game in the school was no longer satisfying.
She awakened to her powers.
Compared to those girls who have to search on the Internet or guess blindly after awakening their abilities, Layla is undoubtedly lucky, she knew in a short time that she had become transcendent, because at about the same time, there was a shocking news from within the family that her cousin, who had never been good at dealing with her, had awakened her abilities.
Layla was so happy in her heart that she couldn't help but laugh wildly, otherwise if her cousin had awakened her abilities and she didn't, then she would have wanted to kill herself.
This is good, the competition between the two has always been indistinguishable and will continue in the future.
However, there is a serious hidden danger, which is that Layla's abilities seem to be very unstable...... To put it more bluntly, her abilities have regressed since she awakened!
That's right, Layla remembers very well how she felt when she shook her belt when she first woke up, but as time went by, she found that her strength and speed were rapidly weakening, although it was not to the level of ordinary people, but compared to when she first woke up, she couldn't swing a shock wave enough to cut off a wooden bat with her belt alone, she had to rely on a horsewhip, and even if she relied on a horsewhip, her power was gradually decreasing.
What the hell is this weird thing?
Layla was puzzled, she thought she was too tired to wake up, but after a night's rest, instead of regaining her strength and speed, she regressed even more.
With the power of the family, she can know much more about the truth about the transcendent than ordinary people, but in the information found through the family, there is no mention of any transcendent whose strength will slowly weaken after awakening.
Could it be...... Not fully awakened?
There is a chance that she will catch up?
This was purely her speculation, and even the term "incomplete awakening" was her own coin, as there was no such thing as a recorded transcendent.
Otherwise, what explanation is there?
During that time, she didn't dare to publicize her awakening, because she was afraid that her ability would continue to degenerate, and she would degenerate into an ordinary person, and she would laugh off her big teeth when the people in the family learned about it.
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, although her ability degrades very quickly, but when it retreats to a certain extent, it no longer degrades and becomes stable.
In fact, in terms of her ability at this time, she is definitely the first class among the newly awakened transcendents, but she has always regretted that she can't find the feeling of invincibility on the day of her awakening.
Most of the family were happy to learn about her awakening ability, at least on the surface, her father had found her a good source bone to help her absorb the source energy faster, although it was faster than natural growth, but for the anxious son of Layla, it was difficult for her to be completely satisfied.
It wasn't until much later that she became more and more proficient in her abilities, and with the help of her family's resources, she had already surpassed herself on the day of her awakening, but the mystery of her ability degradation had always haunted her, and she often pondered when she had nothing to do, as long as she couldn't find the answer to the mystery, she would worry that her abilities would degrade again one day.
She relived in her mind the events of that day, not letting go of any details, and finally thought of Luisa.
She thought of Luisa's burning palms, and the sensation of something pouring into her body from Louisa's hands.
In fact, as smart as she is, she should have thought of this possibility a long time ago, but psychologically she has always refused to admit it - her ability is not awakened by herself, but ...... Forcibly activated by Luisa in some form.
After a few struggles of thought, she wanted to go to Luisa to confirm the matter, and if Luisa was also a transcendent and had the ability to awaken other people, then everything would make sense.
The reason why her abilities continued to deteriorate after awakening was because the power that Luisa injected into her body provided extra power like a battery after she awakened, but over time, the power quickly depleted and her abilities returned to their original level.
Unfortunately, when she returned to school, it was already a long time for her to learn that Luisa had also dropped out of school and had not finished her studies, much to the regret of the school's admissions committee.
As for the reason for Luisa's withdrawal from school, I didn't explain it, I just said that I didn't want to study anymore, and she was very resolute.
No one knew where Luisa had gone after she dropped out, only the middle-aged woman on the admissions committee who had brought her into school had heard her say a word.
"It's not paradise, I'm going home," she said. ”
Layla, who has great powers, did not give up, and through many inquiries, she learned that Luisa had gone to Africa, and her last public appearance was in a city in central Africa, and then the clue was broken.
Layla put the matter aside as well, until recently, when she was thirsty for power, thought about it again, and used all her power to follow Luisa's clues, and then stumbled upon the fact that the High Priest of the Witchcraft Tribe seemed to be called by that name.
Is it a duplicate name?
Layla didn't know, but she knew that if she didn't come to confirm it herself, she would be haunted by it for the rest of her life.
When she said that she wanted to see Luisa, she was not sure if the person she came out was the Luisa she knew, but when she saw her, she confirmed it.
Old classmates, today reunited.
