At that moment, loud laughter broke out from the students of the other school. Their voices echoed down the corridor, drawing attention from bystanders nearby. It wasn’t just a giggle or a chuckle. They were laughing so hard it looked like they had just watched a comedy show. Some clutched their sides, while others slapped the backs of their teammates, unable to contain their amusement.One of the boys, the one who had spoken earlier, stepped forward again, shaking his head with a mocking grin stretched across his face. He pointed at Summer like she was some street performer entertaining a crowd.“Wow,” he said between laughs. “I can see now… you’re really, really funny.”His voice was dripping with sarcasm, and the others behind him nodded, smirking.“You’re pretending to be all bold and brave,” he added, his eyes squinting slightly as if scrutinizing her. “But we both know — you and I — you’re not going to do anything.”Summer just stared at him silently.

At that moment, after hearing what Jason just said, the other students—especially the ones from the powerful family—couldn’t hold it in anymore. They burst into laughter, loud and mocking, as if Jason had just told the biggest joke of the year.One of them clapped his hands slowly, sarcastically. “Wow… Did you all hear that? This boy really thinks he’s in a superhero movie.”Another one whistled and shook his head. “So he believes he can just say anything and get away with it. Does he think the world works like that?”The main guy, the one whose family Jason had called out, took a step forward with a dangerous smile on his face.
