Chapter 6 The Long-awaited School Life

• As the sound of nearing footsteps increased, Laura raised her gaze and observed people displaying astonishment, apprehension, and worry.
• The onlookers around her gazed as though she were a monster, leaving Laura bewildered. "What's going on?"
• What's going on?
• She could even casually ask "What's going on?" as if nothing had happened!
• Is she not aware of her actions?
• She's jumping from the third floor!
• Yet she inquires, what's going on?
• "You jumped from the third floor ... and you're perfectly unharmed?" Even Mason, who typically ignored her, was shocked and rendered speechless.
• This inquiry only heightened Laura's bewilderment.
• I simply jumped down from the third floor, why should I act like anything's wrong?
• "Laura, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? You scared me to death!"
• Inaya, with a face full of lingering fear, rushed up to Laura, grabbing her and checking her all over, muttering to herself, "Thank goodness, it appears there are no serious injuries. I'll notify your parents to take you to the hospital for a check-up ... "
• Just moments earlier, she was upset with Laura, but now she had a sudden change of heart.
• This was because any mishap involving a student under her supervision could jeopardize not just her reputation but also expose her to legal repercussions.
• Without delay, Inaya dialled the number, her voice trembling as she spoke, "Hello, is this Laura's mom? Laura has just fallen from the third floor. Please come to the school immediately ... "
• Approximately twenty minutes passed.
• A middle-aged woman with a slightly stooped posture, clutching a worn-out canvas bag, her features refined but with deep wrinkles from years of accumulated fatigue, pushed her way through the crowd and stumbled towards Laura.
• "Laura, how are you feeling? Any pain? How's your hand? And your leg? Is your leg hurting?
• "You silly child, how could you be so reckless ... can you still walk? Do you want me to carry you? I will take you to the hospital now.
• The middle-aged woman's voice cracked with emotion as she spoke.
• Observing Laura signal her capability to walk independently, the woman grasped her hand and swiftly departed from the school without bidding farewell to the teacher.
• They proceeded directly to the hospital.
• ...
• At six o'clock in the evening, the woman who asserted she was Laura's mother accompanied her for a comprehensive medical examination at the hospital, checking thoroughly for any irregularities.
• She requested that Laura stay overnight for observation, just in case she felt unwell during the night and needed prompt medical attention.
• Laura herself had no objections, as anywhere would suffice for her.
• There was no other reason than in her past life, despite living in luxury, danger was always nearby.
• For the sake of survival, she had to remain vigilant at all times, avoiding events like assassination attempts or ambushes.
• But now, she could openly enjoy the life of an ordinary person.
• This was undoubtedly the pleasant surprise she had dreamed of.
• Moreover, compared to her previous life, the outward appearance of this body was only sixteen years old, making her two years younger than before.
• Yes, she jumped out of the classroom window in the afternoon to catch the Blood Gem thrown out of the window, and that's when she acquired this body along with the memories of its original owner.
• Coincidentally, the original owner shared the same name as her—Laura.
• In her memories, the original owner was a timid girl, like any other teenage girl, secretly in love with someone for a long time.
• That person was Mason Doyle.
• A week ago, encouraged by her friends, the original Laura finally gathered the courage to write a love letter to Mason.
• However, to her dismay, after she joyfully handed him the letter, she discovered that Mason was only trying to impress his crush, Marilyn Kane.
• Just because his crush, Marilyn Kane, uttered those words: "If you broadcast the love letter she gave you in the school broadcasting room, I'll be with you", Mason acted without hesitation.
• After the broadcast, the original Laura became the laughingstock of the entire school.
• For a week, she languished in melancholy, thinking the incident had passed into obscurity.
• Little did she know that ten minutes before the final class of the day, Marilyn would suddenly appear with her entourage to corner her in the abandoned school building, unleashing a torrent of verbal abuse.
• In a shocking turn, she even arranged for someone to brutally assault the original owner.
• Yet fate dealt a cruel hand when Marilyn's accomplices inadvertently struck a fatal blow. Despite enduring the pain for half a class, the original Laura ultimately collapsed at her desk, forever lost to the world.
• Before long, the internationally renowned King of Assassins, known as Snake King, rebirth!
• This is the end of the flashback.
• Seated in the three-bed ward closest to the window, Laura held an unpeeled peach in her hand. With a gentle toss into the air, without even lifting her eyes, she effortlessly caught the peach as if it were second nature.
• Suddenly, she arched her lips, revealing a subtle, enigmatic smile.
• Ah, the long-awaited school life.
• It truly does make one ... eager, doesn't it?
