Thea sat on her seat, looking down at her chubby body and sighed. Just using a little strength had caused her to pant. This was so annoying. She was Maria, the princess of the monster land and the strongest monster girl ever born in the entire land. How could she be so weak? In the monster land, no one would dare mess with her because she had exceeded all the levels of martial arts and was the youngest champion so far. But now, she had to endure, living in the body of a host who was only 16 years old, but had a fat body. Thea was 5'3 tall and weighed 72 kgs, quite chubby. This was going to be tough on her. If Maria wants to use her skills and live a better life in this host, she needed to lose weight before she could advance. And to add to it, the skin of this girl, Thea was tanned and her facial features were covered by fat, giving it a round shape like a ball. Maria couldn't help but sigh when she saw herself in the mirror, "She's so ugly." The previous owner of this body was nicknamed Fatty because of this. She was bullied and laughed at and, as a result, struggled with self-esteem and depression. It was the end of September, the weather was still hot. After the school bell rang a second time, the teacher finally came in. The teacher, Mr. Yates, stood on the podium and swept his gaze across each and every student. "I believe you all know about the incident. The police have already begun their investigation." The class nodded and sneakily peeked at Thea. Could it be really she?? "I don't believe that we have such students in our class but if we do, I hope that person would bravely turn themselves in. Don't wait for the police to catch you before you regret it." Mr. Yate paced across the podium as he looked at every possible figure who could be a suspect. He added, "You're all high school students. If you have a criminal offense on your record, it will affect your college applications." Once he was done talking, he looked at Thea and said sternly, "Thea Jones, please come with me to my office after the class..." Being called out by the teacher like this, made her look even more suspicious. The entire class looked at Thea. If this happened earlier, no one would believe that Thea, a timid and quiet girl, would dare to beat someone up. But after what happened just now with Britney, Thea's dominance shocked everyone. It didn't look all that impossible anymore. The whole class looked at her. She didn't care about the special attention and casually walked out of the classroom after the bell rang. There was an awkward silence in the teacher's office. Mr. Yates held his coffee cup with both hands. The coffee inside, was still so hot. He looked at Thea and said in a low yet determined tone, "Regarding this scandal, I won't say much. You were missing from your dorm and didn't return last night and unfortunately you are one of the suspects." He paused, his calculating gaze still observing Thea. "Did you go back to your house without permission?" Thea didn't reply to him, of course, she didn't go back. How could she tell him that she was beaten up by those damn victims and was killed. All the wounds in her body were healed by the impact of the portal. She didn't have anything to prove that it was they who started everything. Mr. Yates added, "I just need a confirmation from your parents that you were at home last night." Thea looked annoyed, where could she get a confirmation note. She had to think of something reasonable. Her eyes pooled up, looking as pitiful as she could, "Teacher, are you suspecting me?" she held back the urge to cry, or we could say, pretended to be a timid girl as she was before. The professor's eyes softened instantly. She did look so pitiful. Everyone in the school knew that Thea was one of the girls who always gets bullied by others. If she could fight back, why would she be a victim everytime. But he was a teacher and he had to hold on to the procedures. Before he could say anything, the door behind Thea opened. "Until the criminal is arrested, everyone is a suspect." A friendly voice came from the door. Thea turned around and saw a handsome man, literally an example of the Greek God, walked in, wearing a police uniform. The golden sunlight was shining in through the window, hitting the man's face as he adores a beautiful smile on his face. Thea found herself taken aback a little, after all, there weren't many monsters in her land who look good. She instantly averted her gaze and looked at his badge. He was a lieutenant. She narrowed her eyes and continued her act, "Does that mean that if anyone who couldn't bring a note from their parents will be a suspect and the culprit who could do that will be free...?" Lieutenant Dave Anderson looked at the girl, standing in front of him. At first, he thought that she was indeed a pitiful girl as the he heard from others but soon he realized something. The most eye-catching thing about this girl was her eyes, confident and quite interesting. Right now, her eyes were slightly narrowed at him. She was forcing herself to look pitiful but in reality, she looked very confident and strong. "This girl couldn't possibly be bullied by others." He thought to himself. "Of course not" He replied. "Since it's not, then why do you want me to have my parents write a note? You are the police, catching criminals is your responsibility, isn't it?" They protested. Dave found Thea's eloquence amusing. "Yes, it is our responsibility, but we also need your cooperation. But it doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. I can ask your parents myself. Dave paused to see Thea's reaction and was disappointed as she didn't seem to care at all. She had to stay calm and handle this. She turned around to face her teacher and said normally, "Okay. Mr. Yates, can I ask you something?" The teacher nodded, "What do you want to know?" Thea continued, "Where were the girls beaten up exactly?" Mr. Yates raised his eyebrows and looked quizzically at Thea. She didn't show any kind of hesitation. The teacher put the cup down and answered, "At the hallway near the girl's dormitory" Thea smiled internally but kept it to herself, "And you know that I went out of the school yesterday?" she asked, Mr. Yates looked at her confused. "Yes" Dave broke into an impressive smile as he already understood where this girl was taking the conversation to. "So, if I was out of the school last night, how can I possibly be the suspect for something that had happened in the school dormitory?" Mr.Yates was dumbfounded. Dave almost started clapping his hands excitedly. The scene that he just witnessed was like a scene at a judicial court, as if the procecuter was presenting his side of case. "Intresting...!" he muttered under his breath, impressed by how a sixteen year old girl actually defended herself. Thea rolled her eyes at him. Is he here to watch a show? She turned around to looked at Mr. Yates, who was still in a deep thought. "If there's nothing more to say, I think I should leave, Mr. Yates. I already missed my classes and I don't want to miss further..." With that said, she didn't wait for Mr. Yates's response and turned around striding towards the door. Just before getting out of the room, she shot one annoyed glance at the smiling handsome face. *************Author's point of view... "It did make some sense, didn't it?" Mr. Yates said with a deep understanding and Dave couldn't help but laugh internally. That girl just now, wasn't she just sixteen or seventeen years old, she easily fooled her teacher and he actually believed her. She was quite brave. "Yes...! I think that too..." Dave replied, amused. Though he didn't believe whatever Thea said, he never doubted a sixteen year old girl could beat up those girls either. Besides, Dave saw those girls from the senior section. They were all grown ups with quite a personality like fighters and Thea was nothing but a chubby girl. How the heck could he even doubt it...! "So, what do you think we should do, officer?" Smacking him out of his chain of thoughts, Mr. Yates asked. "Leave it to us, Mr. Yates, I think some outsiders might be involved in this matter. We are still investigating and soon we will provide you with a good answer" Mr. Yates nodded, gratefully and Dave walked ou
Author's point of view... "Hey..." Dave scoffed, "If that's a joke, you are quite bold at it" Thea returned him the coke she accepted before and started walking away. He hurried behind her. "Mr.Yates believed you because he didn't have anything to reason but do you really think you can just escape from the charges because you were not in the dorm?" Thea paused. So, he was here to investigate. If she leaves now, she will be igniting the fire of suspicion. "What do you mean?" she turned around to see him. He smiled as he stood there with his hands crossed over his chest. "Why don't we continue this while grabbing something to eat? I haven't eaten anything either. I think I saw a restaurant outside your school. Let's go get some chicken tacos for you." Thea was now very annoyed. She exhaled not paying attention to the man "No thanks but can you come to the point directly?" What was his deal? Is this a normal cop behavior? "Get to the point..." he repeated her words
Author's point of view... Looking around, he flung his stick toward Thea with all his might, but she caught it mid-air, jumped down from the fence, and used that same stick to knock him out with one swift strike. "Oh...I didn't see it properly..." Thea said, landing on the ground. Dave's jaw dropped. Isn't she a girl? How did she jump from a wall so high? The gang froze, stunned by her speed and ferocity. Thea, who looked anything but active, moved with a nimble grace, dodging attacks and striking back with precision. It looked as if they weren't fighting but a director had given them all these roles to play along and Thea knew all their moves in advance. Each swing hit its mark, leaving her opponents writhing in pain. She knew exactly where to strike to cause the most agony. "Agh...! I didn't mean it" Every time she moved the stick in her hands, it would beat someone deliberately but she never failed to show her innocence. The thugs were outraged. How could they get
Author's point of view... When Thea returned to the dorm after two hours of late-night study, she found her roommates staring at her as if she’d grown an extra head or something. That was unusual. Because according to the memory of the previous owner of this body, these girls would always bully Thea for no reason. Could it be because of what happened in the class room? Thea thought about it and understood everything. She did threatened Britney and the other girls were like her minions so it's oblivious that they would be terrified with her too. "That's good though..." Thea muttered, pleased for the attention she was receiving right now. As she walked in, Britney, the trouble maker and the most violent one of them, backed away, fear evident in her wide eyes. Thea barely spared them a glance as she strode toward the bathroom, unfazed by their bewildered expressions. She had more pressing matters to tend to than the nervous stares of her roommates. Inside the bathroom, s
Author's point of view... As it was a hot summer day, the classroom was especially stuffy, with only a few large ceiling fans buzzing to stir the heavy summer air. "Gosh...! It's so hot today" Every student was restless, fanning themselves with notebooks and daydreaming of ice-cold drinks because other than being a hot day, it was the day that the marksheet for the previous tests will be given. Amid the heat, where everyone in the class were struggling, Thea sat calmly, her head bowed on the desk. She felt oddly cool compared to everyone else as the place she was from, the monster land, had a very hot climate usually and this place was like a hill station for her. Ren, the class monitor, started distributing the math test papers from yesterday. The students were nervous as their teacher was so strict when it comes to their results. The students who got less than 50 points in maths will be punished. Those who received their papers quickly started comparing answers. Aft
Author's point of view... "What do you think she would do?" one of the students whispered to another. "What else, she will make some stupid excuse for sure..." another chimed in. They shared mocking glances and continued their chatter. But, without giving them a damn, Thea stood up from her seat. Of course, she was lazy but that doesn't mean she wouldn't show her talents to anyone. She had to shut those mouths up. To everyone’s surprise, Thea didn't get bothered by those remarks, instead she got up without hesitation, walking calmly to the podium. Picking up a piece of chalk just like some professional teacher, she began writing two neat rows of calculations on the blackboard, completing the answer effortlessly. Everyone gawked in shock. "What the hell is that??" Her letters floated above their heads. Though she wrote the right calculation, the method she used was the hardest one that anyone had ever used. Finished, she turned to the class with a casual air, rollin
Author's point of view... "Hey Fatty..." A girl, short but with eyes filled with disdain and disrespect, chewing gum, smacked Thea on her head. Thea was so annoyed that she wanted to break that girl's hand, right then and there. She turned around and stared at her. "What did you just call me?" That girl was a senior student, a minion to one of the bullies in the senior section. As Linda and her gang were beaten up and were out of the picture, it was their turn to boost their gang of bullies. These kind of things were common in High schools now a days. Those with some fighting skills and some notorious name in society start up a gang and bully kids, collecting money from them in the name of protection money. Thea clearly despised that kind of behaviour. But at that moment, she was standing in the hallway, right before her class room and she didn't want to mess with this annoying girl. However, as that gile looked at Thea, she felt threatened and no matter what kind of a b
Author's point of view... "Hey...Is this seat empty?" Thea glanced up, startled, when a warm, clear voice broke through the noise around her. She was taken aback for a moment when that voice interrupted her chain of thoughts again. "Hey...Can I sit here?" When she looked up to see the owner of the voice, her mind literally went blank. What the heck...! she muttered to herself. A boy was standing beside her with a gentle smile on his face. He was strikingly handsome. His skin slightly tanned but flawless, and his dark brows, sharp and perfectly shaped, framed his deep-set eyes. His face was like sculpted, taking all the time needed, exuding a strong aura, yet softened by a natural charm. Even the curve of his lips seemed effortlessly inviting. Why are the humans here in this land so strikingly beautiful? Why didn't monster land have any of these masterpieces? This boy had very unique facial features that could only be compared to the police officer, Dave, that she me
