She never likes gaining attention but rather prefers to quietly excel in her academics and hobbies. always striving to challenge herself and learn new things. She finds solace in the pages of books, immersing herself in different worlds and expanding her knowledge.
Additionally, Ariella's involvement in extracurricular activities allows her to explore various interests and develop valuable skills outside of the classroom. So like her older brother, she hides her true ability and pretends to be average. Ariella Laila believes that blending in and appearing average allows her to navigate through school without drawing too much attention. She feels that this approach allows her to observe and understand her peers better, giving her a unique perspective on school dynamics.
Even her status as the godchild of the academy owner and president was strictly hidden among the teachers, staff, and school personnel. Ms. Dolores Tesfaye made sure to provide her with a normal life as per the request of her best friend Amelia, who believed that revealing her true identity would only complicate things for her.
Ms. Dolores Tesfaye went to great lengths to ensure that her godchild's true lineage remained a well-kept secret, allowing her to experience school just like any other student.
Ariella's security was beyond normal as a team of highly trained bodyguards surrounded her, lurking and watching her from a safe distance. Guan Yu Liu Chen believed in the old ways of learning to adapt and survive; pampering her daughter like a princess was never in their family tradition.
They believed that instilling a sense of independence and resilience in Ariella would prepare her for the challenges she may face in the future. Therefore, they made sure she had a balanced upbringing, encouraging her to explore her interests and develop a strong character.
That is why he and his granduncle and auntie became emotionally attached to Ramiel and instantly accepted him as their own, and they made it official as Grandpa Tang gave his blood to sacrifice Ramiel when he was stricken with the sleeping disease.
This act of selflessness and love further solidified the bond between Ramiel and his extended family. It demonstrated the unwavering support and commitment they had towards each other, ensuring that he would always have a strong foundation to rely on as he navigated through his current challenge.
Ariella usually joins her two classmates and best friends to eat. at the school cafeteria, but today she decided to eat alone to have some time for herself. She enjoyed the solitude and used the opportunity to reflect on her thoughts and recharge before rejoining her friends for the rest of the day. The two knew her very well and still insisted on joining her, but they would refrain from being themselves, even just for a moment, as they understood the importance of giving Ariella space and respecting her decision.
They sat nearby, quietly enjoying their meals and occasionally exchanging smiles to let Ariella know they were there for her if she needed anything. This gesture of understanding and support made Ariella feel grateful for having such considerate friends in her life.
Sara and Rose came from an average family; both of their caring, hardworking parents worked in the main city, ten miles from where their school was located. this was the preferred choice for most of the parents living in the main city, as there have been numerous outbreaks of dimensional rift in the area so, establishing a school that was far from the main populace was voted upon by the city Mayor Elizabeth Orwarld, from districts 1 to 7.
A small commercial and residential land was allocated for this project, and many wealthy families used their connections to sway the mayor to select this particular land, just because of their own selfishness and personal needs. This was to ensure that their children would be safe and far away from harm.
Sinclair Construction Company took on the responsibility of refurbishing the old infrastructure. In a place surrounded by many trees and plant life, the mentioned place was once a botanical garden park. There was just one main road leading into the wide open space at the very center of the park it was 30 acres, so it was an ideal place to establish a new school and just transfer all the students in all the districts.
Mayor Elizabeth Orwarld made those stuck-up wealthy families think they controlled the situation, but she wasn't that negligent and foolhardy to be pressured by money and wealth, so upon completion, the school opened its doors to those who were eligible, no matter what their status might be as long as they were eager to go there.
And because Ms. Dolores Tesfaye was the only person who fit the category to manage the huge school with seven floors, equipped with all the highest quality teaching equipment and supplies to give their students the right learning tools to survive in their new world, she gladly accepted the position as the school's principal.
With her extensive experience and dedication to education, Ms. Tesfaye ensured that every student received equal opportunities for success, regardless of their background or social status. Under her leadership, the school became a beacon of hope and empowerment for all those who walked through its doors.
Sara and Rose would make fanny faces toward Amelia just to make her smile, and soon she would gesture for them to join her because they were persistent and funny at the same time, creating a joyful and inclusive atmosphere in the cafeteria. Their antics not only brought laughter but also fostered a sense of camaraderie among each other, further enhancing the positive learning environment. But like in any school, bad apples find their way into the classroom, and these are rotten inside.
These are the spoiled kids who think they are better than the rest, as they parade themselves as if they own the place, constantly belittling and mocking their peers. Their behaviour created a toxic atmosphere, overshadowing the camaraderie and inclusivity that the persistent and funny students had worked so hard to cultivate. Despite their negative presence, the majority of students remained resilient and determined to maintain a positive learning environment for everyone.
And because the school is large, social diversities will always exist, allowing for the opportunity to form new friendships and make enemies, which further adds to the complexity of the social dynamics within the school. However, some resilient students understood the importance of empathy and respect.
However this was not always the case; some teachers were easily swayed by the lure of money, so my bullying acts were often overlooked or ignored. and some use malicious tactics to cover Ms. Dolores Tesfaye's eyes by manipulating the truth or spreading false rumor's.
These manipulative tactics by some teachers created a toxic environment where many students felt unsafe and because they had no choice, they had to endure and hope for the best, so many of them just hid their pain and suffering and covered it up by saying they were just having fun when in reality, they were being emotionally and mentally tormented.
This culture of silence perpetuated the cycle of bullying and allowed the manipulative teachers to continue their harmful behavior unchecked. Schools must create a safe and supportive environment where students feel empowered to speak up about their experiences and seek help without fear of retaliation.
This created a sense of frustration and helplessness for those who were being bullied, as they felt that their pleas for help were falling on deaf ears. Despite these challenges, a few teachers remained steadfast in their commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment, offering support and guidance to those in need, secretly, of course, fearing that those same teachers would face backlash from the administration. The lack of a unified approach to addressing bullying further exacerbated the problem, leaving students uncertain about who they could trust for support.
Many students establish their kind of support system, and Ariella and her two friends made sure to be part of this and extend their helping hand toward those who were being bullied at their class level, whether mentally, emotionally, or physically. They organized regular meetings where they would listen to the concerns of their classmates and provide them with moral support.
and found out that just being their friend was enough to give them the motivation to move forward and overcome the challenges they were facing. They also collaborated with those teachers who were willing to help and were not part of those people who were already corrupted by greed. It was hard, but since most of the students were just around the age of seven to nine years old, certain social misbehaviors were tolerable and were not emotional.
but sometimes they would accidentally witness those who were higher than them, the suffering these students get from the bullying was too much and Ariella would often resort to clever tactics to ensure the social media would see their atrocious act for everybody,
The bullied student found themselves being saved by an anonymous helper, the anonymous helper intervened just in time, putting an end to the torment the bullied student was enduring. Grateful and relieved, the students couldn't help but wonder who this mysterious savior was and why they had chosen to help. At 3 and a half feet tall and 17 kg, Ariella was agile and very quick on her toes, which allowed her to swiftly navigate through the crowd and reach the bullied student's side. With a determined look in her eyes, Ariella confronted the bullies by using their biggest weakness, exposing their true colors secretly to the public eye,
She is very courageous when facing a problem head-on, defending herself against other students who want to harm her, especially those with the same body mass as her. dealing with these issues personally was easy, but she wasn't foolish enough to fight somebody bigger and heavier than her. Grandpa Tang gave her all the necessary training and lessons to defend herself from harm, like what he gave Ramiel before, but the difference between them was significant.
Ramiel at a very young age could give out a heavy jab naturally as Grandpa Tang used boxing hand pads to train him and teach him the basic fundamental punches before, while Ariella's punches were light but fast, and to cover her shortcomings she used her kicks to increase the damage, at seven years old her kick was strong enough to make a teenager that was 5 feet tall and around 25 kg grovel at the ground from her direct kick, showcasing her natural talent and potential in martial arts. Despite their contrasting styles, Ramiel and Ariella both possessed exceptional physical abilities that set them apart from their peers at such a young age.
It was another fun and fulfilling day at class as Ariella and friends participated in various engaging activities and learned new concepts. From interactive group discussions to hands-on experiments, the class fostered a stimulating learning environment that encouraged creativity and critical thinking. The camaraderie among Ariella and her friends made the day even more enjoyable, as they collaborated and supported each other throughout the day's activities.
She has already made a point in her class , to those who will act harshly among their other classmates and will face a punch in the shoulder as a warning that she will resort to physical action if necessary. However, Ariella's assertiveness was balanced by her empathy and understanding, as she always made an effort to resolve conflicts peacefully and promote a positive atmosphere in the classroom. Her quiet and simple demeanor was in stark contrast when she got upset, revealing a fiery and assertive side of her personality. Despite her peaceful nature, Ariella's strong sense of justice compels her to take action when she witnesses mistreatment or bullying, making it clear that she will not tolerate any form of cruelty in her presence.
she made sure even if the were classrooms were having a certain amount of social discomfort among the other students who were misbehaving, she and her friends and classmate were united to ensure that their class was peaceful and pleasant as possible, Ariella was mature for her age. always striving to create a positive and inclusive environment for everyone. She believed in the power of empathy and understanding, often going out of her way to help those who were struggling or feeling left out.
But with all her effort , students from other classrooms hated her because they saw her as a threat to their popularity and influence. so with this in their mind they never stop taunting her as much as they can, making her school experience incredibly difficult and emotionally draining. Despite the constant taunting, Ariella was never affected by mere words as she had developed a strong sense of self-worth, resilience and most of the time self control.
Either way she knows how to fight back if needed, and on that very day, her patience will be tested to the limit, as four bullies from a different class were fed up with her goody-two-shoes attitude and decided to confront her after class near the abandoned old store shop a few meters across the road facing their school entry way.
