They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 428: This Means War

“No. In fact, it may earn you points if your intention is truly to protect.”

Nnenna nodded subtly. She watched Ava’s proud back as the girl strutted toward the lecture hall entrance.

“Pride always walks first… until it’s tripped by reality. Maybe this would finally knock some sense into her,” Nnenna murmured under her breath.

Just like that, Ava strutted into the lecture hall, her henchmen trailing behind her like loyal shadows.

Her head was high, her eyes sharp, and her lips curled in a smirk. But the moment her foot brushed against a barely visible thin rope stretched across the floor

SPLASH!!!

A full bucket of ice cold water, rigged from above, came crashing down on her.

“AAAAHHHHHHH!”

Ava’s scream echoed through the hall like an explosion.

The icy water drenched her completely, soaking every inch of her body. To make things worse, it had been mixed with a fine white powder, likely flour, that instantly clung to her soaked outfit and skin like snow.

She looked like a half melted ghostly snowman, standing frozen in shock and dripping water onto the now silent classroom floor.

Gasps filled the air. Murmurs rippled through the students.

No one dared laugh, but the horror on everyone’s faces was unmistakable. Even the pranksters in the back who had likely set the trap were pale with terror.

Nobody moved. Nobody blinked. Everyone was trying to disown the scene with their silence.

No one in their right mind wanted to be known as the idiot who humiliated the future king of Prigrian’s sister.

Ava’s face twisted in rage. Her mascara ran in black streaks down her cheeks.

“WHO DID THIS?!” she screamed, spinning around like a wet whirlwind. “Who the hell set this up?! I swear, if you don’t speak now, and I find out who it was, YOU’RE DEAD!”
