In the throne hall filled with an eerie silence, Holinia's scream echoed like thunder shattering the stillness. She stood with majesty and defiance, shouting: "I will not walk into hell with my own two feet! I announce that I am quitting the study of the 'Companions.' I do not agree!"
The Grandfather could not tolerate this rebellion. He pierced her with a gaze as sharp as a blade and said with killing coldness: "You have no other choice; otherwise, I will cut off all your sources of money. You know I can do that!"
At that moment, Holinia lunged as if possessed by a demon. With a swift movement, she delivered a powerful kick to the "Tall One" standing before her, then stormed out of the hall, casting looks of pure contempt at everyone, mocking every family member from the first grandfather to the very last descendant.
She entered her room like a hurricane, slamming the door with a force that shook the foundations. Throwing herself onto the sofa, panting with rage, she said: "I must find a plan from now on to escape that cursed 'Romantic Academy'! It is the worst place a human can imagine. It is one of my primary nightmares after losing money—because money is important now! Let's set plans to avoid all problems, and if all plans fail, I will go to Plan A: smashing human faces!"
Chapter II: The Demonic Document and the System of Tyranny
She pulled out a paper and pen and began drafting the terms of her survival with the ink of fury:
Stay away from the main characters so I can be free from headaches.
When the characters' relationships start to develop and they all get caught up in it, I will be in the countryside, sleeping and lazing on my beautiful bed.
If all plans fail, go to Plan One: smashing the faces of all characters! Hahaha, yes, that is better!
She raised the paper to the sky like a victory flag and said with pride: "This is a document confiscated by me!"
Her wicked laughter echoed through the imperial suite, until the Emperor said, shaking his head in despair: "The only thing she thinks about is money and breaking people's faces. Let her do what she wants; just don't let her come to us screaming!"
Suddenly, the air split open, and a transparent blue window appeared:
[Notice: Academy life has begun. You are prohibited from harming the main characters, or you will be punished by the System!]
Holinia replied with disdain: "Don't you know anything else but this? Giving orders! You don't give me prizes or power; you only give me laws and orders and expect me to obey so simply?" She then raised her middle finger at the window and said defiantly: "You will be the one forced to submit to me!"
Chapter III: The Return of the Iron Force
The screen glowed pink to reveal her new stats:
Name: Holinia (Pre-reincarnation: Hana).
Age: 19 (Pre-reincarnation: 23).
Power: Infinite Weapon Armory (Pre-reincarnation power: Iron Fist).
Reputation: Below Zero.
The System asked: "Do you want to add your powers from your previous world to your current powers?"
Without a second of hesitation, she smashed the "Yes" button so hard the screen nearly broke.
She felt her body become lighter, the heat of power coursing through her veins. Standing on the table, she screamed hysterically: "Yes... Yes! Power! Yes, this is what I want! With my power, I will crush everything! I am the strongest now! Look at how I will make you bow beneath my feet!"
Chapter IV: Preparation for the Massacre
Two days of intense training passed. She turned her room into a war zone, setting up sandbags shaped like human bodies and raining punches upon them. She summoned from her infinite armory a scythe, a sword, an iron hammer, and a red axe. The servants trembled at night hearing her mad laughter: "You will submit to me!"
When the time to leave arrived, she shocked everyone. Instead of the traditional skirt, she wore tight black trousers and a white shirt with a sophisticated black vest. She said coldly: "The skirt annoys me, and I can't hit people in it. But in this, I can!"
She walked out like a queen, possessing a fatal beauty with her red hair tied up, to find the entire family waiting. She said mockingly: "What is this dramatic atmosphere? Don't tell me you want to say goodbye or something similar, because that is disgusting to me!"
The Grandfather cleared his throat and said anxiously: "Listen to me, if there is someone bothering you, tell me. But please, do not use that fist!"
Holinia replied, lifting her foot toward his face: "Yes, you old man, do you think I will do what you want? No... no! I will crush them all under the weight of my feet! Look at my shoe, it is shiny. I polished it specifically so I can see the drops of blood I will make bleed from my victims!"
She mounted her black horse, which she had chosen with extreme care, and took off, shouting at them: "I hope when I return, I find you have all poisoned yourselves so I can be rid of your faces!"
Chapter V: Academy Hell
Holinia arrived at the academy like a cyclone. She dismounted and entered the classroom—not by opening the door, but by kicking it open, shattering the prestige of the place. She headed for the back seat, but one girl tried to show off her courage, laughing: "Look who's here! It's the weakling! Did you want to change your style to attract people to you?"
Holinia stood up with terrifying calmness, cracked her knuckles and neck, and said: "You are not a main character, so it will be fun to smash your face! Let's start with a little warm-up, darling!"
BOOM! A powerful punch to the stomach sent the girl to her knees, gasping. Holinia shouted at everyone: "Do you think I am that weakling you used to bully so easily? I will show you hell this year! You will wish you never came near me or even caught a glimpse of me in the hallways!"
She dragged the girl by her pink hair through the corridors before tossing her into the fountain: "This is just the beginning, dear. Next time, you'll go back to your father disfigured!" She turned to the crowd: "Anyone who wants to mess with me, I will turn their face into a 'masterpiece' highly appreciated by society! Don't you dare try to provoke me, because I cannot control my body when I am angry!"
Chapter VI: Crushing Educational Tyranny
She returned to the classroom with a swagger, just as a teacher entered wearing a revealing short dress. Holinia sneered to herself: "I think she wanted to attract some flies!"
The teacher said angrily: "Holinia! What did you do earlier? This is unethical! A girl should be more elegant!"
Holinia replied with a lightning strike of words: "And a woman like you should cover more of her body! Do you see everyone as 'sluts' like yourself? Look at you, trying to attract some professors—or should I say the Dean, because he's a handsome grandfather? You want to lure him with that disgusting look? If I were in your place, I would have burned you alive! What is this? Is this a school or a tavern for attracting flies?"
The teacher trembled: "Shut up, or I will make you regret this!"
Holinia stood directly in front of her: "Tell me, what are you going to do now?" The teacher fled in terror to call a small army of 12 teachers.
Holinia faced them all, sitting with one leg over the other: "What is 'unethical'? Do you mean her clothes or my behavior? Besides, you all knew about the bullying against me but let it pass. Now you come to hold me accountable when my tongue becomes sharp? Truly, how shameless of you!"
She added with a veiled threat: "Everyone says what they will do to me, and I will tell you what I will do to you! If any of you speaks or says they don't like my behavior, they will see what happens! I will make you 'grilled' and 'sculpted' in a creative way that will make the whole world wonder at your creation!"
The chemistry teacher lost his temper and lunged with a cane: "Holinia! If you don't stop this, you will see what you don't like!"
Before he could finish... BOOM! A brutal punch sent him flying into the back door, knocking him unconscious. Holinia's eyes turned a dark crimson as she said in a demonic voice: "I told you, do not test my patience; it wears thin quickly! If you think your threats will make me submit and become humiliated at your feet, you are mistaken! I will be the one to put you under my feet! Furthermore, if you want to talk about status, I come from a Ducal house. I am a Princess of the Duchy, and you are trying to insult me? I have the authority to suppress you all under the weight of the law!"
A deathly silence filled the hall. They realized too late that Holinia was no longer the weak girl she once was; she had become the tyrant who would tear the rules apart with her bare hands.
