Cringe cring
"Already, Neng. It's time to come in and learn. Thank you, yes!"
At the same time, the school entrance bell did sound along with the notification of the reward he received from the System of Question. Zee nods at the gardeners and rushes to class.
Without realizing it, Zee enters the classroom in a uniform drenched in sweat and smelling bad. When Zee entered, Ella, who was the headmaster's son, immediately mocked him in front of the teacher who was teaching.
"Hey, look who just came! Looks like somebody ran out of deodorant today. Hahaha.." Ella's laughter echoed.
"Haha..."
"Huuu..."
All the classmates laughed at Ella's treatment of Zee, which they found very pleasant.
Unfortunately, the teacher who is teaching does not take action to overcome the situation and chooses to continue teaching as if the incident never happened. The teacher wants to keep the learning smooth and hopes that the situation will soon be forgotten.
However, Zee's classmates responded to this situation with laughter. They laugh at Ella's treatment of Zee, as they find the incident to be ludicrous or funny.
The classmates' laughter added to the shame and guilt Zee experienced, making her feel uneasy in front of everyone.
"Let's focus on our lesson, Ella. Zee, sit down at your place."
The teacher can only be of the attitude that this incident never existed and continue to teach normally, because the teacher already knew Ella's bad habits, so did not really care.
Zee was embarrassed, then apologized. "Yes. Sorry, s-aya's late."
"Hahaha, Zee, your uniform is so wet! Did you just run a marathon?" ask Ella again, meaning to insult.
"You can control the smell of your sweat, right, Zee? It tickles my nose!" A look of disdain was given by Lina, with her hands closing her nose.
"This is definitely going to be a story we'll remember forever, Zee. Don't worry, we won't forget this!" Berta added with a look of disgust.
"Haha..."
Ella continued to laugh and pointed at Zee.
"Please calm down, everyone. Let's get back to the lesson. Zee, are you ready to learn?" ask the teacher who tries to calm his students.
This situation creates an embarrassing moment for Zee in front of his classmates. Although the teacher tries to continue the lesson as usual, the situation still attracts attention and affects the teaching and learning process in the classroom.
Finally Zee just nodded, trying to overcome the embarrassment from the ridicule of his friends.
But Ella doesn't stop here, she's constantly trying to intrude and make Zee angry. Unfortunately Zee can hold back, just be quiet with what Ella did to him.
"Hihihi.. It's funny!"
Ella pointed at Zee's face which she scrawled with a colored pencil. He was overconfident and did not seriously listen to the teacher's explanation in front of the class.
"Revelation! Don't you ever delete it" threatened Ella when Zee was uncomfortable.
Hearing the threat, Zee simply lowered her head without being able to give any rebuttal.
Zee feels isolated and ignored by her classmates, and how Ella's evil treatment undermines her confidence. He felt alone and very sad, because he felt unable to fight whatever Ella had done to him all this time.
"Not to cry! The worse you know!"

The break hour arrived. Zee's face is now full of colored pencil strokes. However, none of his classmates cared, just like always. Even they giggled amusedly at how his present face was.
"Damor..."
"There's a clown!"
Now Zee walks quickly to the school bathroom, covering her face with her hands while her other hand carries a supply box made by the housewife for her.
That's how every day, Zee will always go to the bathroom to enjoy the provisions.
For Zee, the bathroom is the most relaxing place in school. There, he can feel a little protected and get a little personal space. Zee chose to eat his lunch in one of the toilet cubicles in hopes of enjoying his meal without interruption.
Finally, Zee enjoyed the meal without being bothered by anything.
Until finally, Zee vaguely overhears Ella's conversation with her friends in the bathroom. They just came in and talked about themselves.
"Gue was astonished, why did mama, as the headmaster of Higs Shool High School, accept such a bad Zee at an elite school like this?" ella asks her best friends Lina and Berta, who are always with her.
Ella was talking about why her mother, who served as the principal of the Higs Shool High School, was willing to accept students who were as ugly as Zee in this elite school.
In fact, in this Higs Shool High School all students and students have a handsome face and beautiful, really contrasted with the appearance of Zee. Most of them are children of people.
"Lo ask me Mama Lo, Ella. What made her accept that ugly schoolgirl like a monster!"
"Yes, I saw it! Hihhh. Iyuhhh.. It looks like a rat cake!"
"Hihihi.. yes! I'm so disgusted, hihhh!"
They kept talking without knowing that the person they were talking about was near them. It's in one of these bathroom booths.
The conversation between the three of them made Zee's heart ache and feel broken. He realized that in this school, physical appearance is highly appreciated, so that the fat Zee with her appearance that is not fashionable is considered different and is considered not suitable to the standards of beauty in the school.
This made Zee's heart hurt.
Tears began to drip from Zee's eyes due to a deep feeling of heartache. He felt devastated and hurt by Ella's comments and realized that her performance was in the negative spotlight at this school.
'Hiks hyks... Is it that bad, me?' ask Zee inwardly.
***
After school, fragile-looking Zee talks to the orphanage's mother. Conscious of Ella's identity, the mother of the parlour could only tell Zee to remain patient.
"Prophey, Zee. You must be patient and still be kind to anyone, without favoritism."
Zee just nodded at the advice of the mother of the home, mother Amy, who had been taking care of him since infancy.
While pondering in the room, Zee recalled that he still had 10PS unused. Zee reopens the System, and puts it all on the VIT attribute.

At that instant, Zee's body was enveloped in a warm white light.
