30 - Self-Defense (1/2)

Teacher Jin's face was full of unease. She believed that the reason why Jing Yunzhao did such a thing today was because she was under too much stress after what had happened yesterday.

”Jing Yunzhao, what exactly happened?” Teacher Jin asked in a strict tone.

Jing Yunzhao didn't think Teacher Jin was acting unreasonably, especially since Teacher Jin was known to be a fair person. Her not blaming Jing Yunzhao right from the start was already a sign of her trust in Jing Yunzhao.

”Teacher Jin, I was in the wrong for using violence. I apologize for that.” Jing Yunzhao faced the swollen-faced Lu Jia and said, ”I'm sorry.”

However, before anyone else could say anything, Jing Yunzhao continued, ”But I don't regret what I did. Plus, I only did it as a means of self-defense.”

Teacher Jin was dumbfounded at that moment.

”What do you mean? Could it be that…Lu Jia was the one who attacked first?” the teacher from Class Two asked suspiciously.

Lu Jia at that moment was crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath, and her face was also scarily swollen. She couldn't even let out a single word.

”When I entered the school today, Lu Jia unreasonably began to talk badly of me. I responded with a few sentences. Then I don't know why but she started pointing at me and calling me a bastard. Teacher, it's not my fault my biological parents left me. Aren't everyone a bastard the moment they're born? If you were to experience this kind of mistreatment, wouldn't you be mad too?” Jing Yunzhao spoke with reason.

”That's why you hit her?” asked Teacher Jin.

If that was the reason then Jing Yunzhao's actions weren't exactly unreasonable, but she went too far.

”No.” Jing Yunzhao's expression was firm. ”Her words were too dirty so I responded which made her mad. She stretched out her hands to grab my face. You can all see the long length of her fingernails. If she were to really have gotten to scratch my face, it's definite that my face would have been ruined. I couldn't just let her abuse me verbally and physically so I hit her back. However, I didn't know that she's only a paper tiger. She attacked first but she just wasn't able to hit me.”
