The onlooking students, even the most naive among them, realized that this was a deliberate attempt to smear Isabella’s reputation.

With doubts arising about the authenticity of the event, the

previous rumors and gossip about

“Damn, that’s too cool!”

“Never realized Isabella had such a badass side.”

“I declare, from now on, Isabella is my goddess!”
