Kayla raised an eyebrow as she glanced at the first person to apologize.

‘No clue if they actually mean it or if they’re just covering their ass,‘ she thought.

But honestly, she wasn’t trying to make enemies of everyone here. Since this person had the guts to step up first, she didn’t mind throwing them a bone and giving them an out.

Kayla’s voice cut through the tension. “You’re Ryan Fairfax from Class F, right? I got your apology. We’re good now–just make sure you actually follow through from now on.”

Ryan hadn’t expected Kayla to actually know his name. For a second, he looked genuinely stunned, then surprised–and honestly, he couldn’t help but feel oddly pleased.

He nodded firmly, his voice sincere. “Don’t worry. I got it.”

Without another word, he turned and walked off. Kayla didn’t try to stop him.

The others watching exchanged glances, their eyes lighting up with hope.

Just a moment ago, they’d thought apologizing in front of the whole group would be beyond embarrassing- and were terrified Kayla would put them on the spot and leave them no way to save face.

‘Wait, that’s it?‘ they thought.

“You’re the only ones left,” she said, her voice carrying an edge sharp as the blade she held. “Apologize

Marianna clenched her jaw so hard her teeth ached, her eyes burning red as she glared at Kayla. The humiliation was suffocating–a physical weight pressing down on her chest.

“Does it have to be like this, Kayla?” Her voice cracked slightly despite her efforts to sound defiant. “Do you really need to push this far?”

A cold smile curved Kayla’s lips, and she let out a short, mocking laugh that sent a chill through the air.

You argued when you had no ground to stand on. Why shouldn’t I push when I’m right?” She paused, letting the words sink in like a blade between ribs. “Stop stalling. Apologize.”
