What’s your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Maria.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They became friends. Well, maybe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madison happened to be heading to the girls’ bathroom when something happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bucket of water poured down from above, drenching everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone underneath would’ve been soaked to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Madison reacted fast and stepped back, but some water splashed onto her skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too bad, too bad, missed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You pig, don’t wanna shower? You stink!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three or four girls stepped out of the stalls, laughing loudly at Madison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bitch! You’re asking for it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madison clenched her teeth and charged forward to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, damn it all to hell with restraint—disagree? Fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight was brutal—hair-pulling, clothes-tearing, biting… anything went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But two fists couldn’t hold off four hands. Madison lost, cornered by the four, yet still defiant, refusing to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spat directly into one girl’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the scream, more punches and kicks followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Maria arrived with Lily, saw the scene, dropped the unlit cigarette in shock, then rushed over to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing newcomers—especially someone who looked like a school skater—the four girls immediately retreated. After one last kick, they shoved Maria aside and bolted out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily reached out, pulled Maria up from the floor, then glanced at Madison, who had risen from the ground, and blinked, “Who’s this…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madison…” Maria moved to go to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave me alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madison covered her face and ran out the side exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madison! Madison!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria called after her, but Madison ran faster—perhaps not wanting Maria to see her in such a state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, guess we came at a bad time. Want to get a drink?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria shook her head, “No, I have to find Madison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I bet she doesn’t want to see you right now. Come with me—I’ll teach you how to skate.” Lily smiled, but gripped Maria’s shoulder firmly and pulled her toward the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria couldn’t resist; she was dragged to the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Madison saw her missing backpack and exploded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Maria had already been dragged back to the gym, introduced by Lily to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In class, watching the brawl, Louis frowned. Annoying. The Paranormal Club was better—quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma glanced at Louis’s frown, raised an eyebrow, stood, and walked over. She tapped a bystander, smiled faintly—the man immediately stepped aside, almost flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma moved through without obstruction, grabbed a girl’s hair, and yanked her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Emma, most fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma bent down to look at the girl. “Finding it fun to bully classmates? This is a classroom. I don’t want to hear this noise again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma glanced around the class. The next second—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half the girls, who had aligned themselves with Emma, began speaking up: “Yeah, if the teacher sees this, it’ll be trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My desk is ruined, bitch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These bitches are so annoying, always causing chaos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at her makeup—ugly. And she bullies others? Maybe she should fix herself first…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chatter made the four girls turn pale and step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few can ignore collective voices—especially when they converge like everyone’s targeting you. Now, they felt psychological pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madison, hiding in the corner with a book shielding her, stared in shock. She didn’t understand—why had the situation changed so fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because of Emma’s two sentences?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, this was the perfect chance to strike back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madison’s eyes glinted with malice; she gripped the book tightly, ready to attack—but then Emma looked at her. Calm. But Madison felt unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip on the book loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, everyone, disperse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma’s words made the girls scatter. Those aligned with her gathered near her, chatting. The four girls slunk back to their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boys, seeing no more entertainment, also drifted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis, watching the whole thing, wasn’t surprised. With Emma’s disguise and intellect, this was simple—just rally the so-called classmates first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no Yulencar here to outmatch her—Emma could do as she pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Madison… she seems kind of dumb. And her temper’s awful. If she were one of the horror movie characters I know, she’d probably be first to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—dumb, bad temper… I think I know who she is. But isn’t her body type way off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Digging through his memories, the only female horror character named Madison was from The Coven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that Madison was a Hollywood actress. This one’s still in high school, no witchy powers visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it’s because she’s too young? Not awakened yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Coven…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It exists in this world. So this familiar, underdeveloped, stupid Madison might indeed be the future, bitchy Madison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis tentatively confirmed Madison’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately thought—he needed to collect her blood and hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Salem-line witches are extremely powerful—resurrecting people is like child’s play. They control fire, teleport, read minds, use telekinesis, divination… more like innate talents than magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all witches, they rank among the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, an unawakened Salem witch stands before me. Not taking some blood to study? Unthinkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her blood holds special power, it could become another valuable material!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The occult broke out in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for an excuse…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the school health check came. With money, Louis easily obtained Madison’s blood sample.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Louis ran experiments with Madison’s blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Testing whether it could be added to a corpse venom, whether it would change, or whether it could serve as a spiritual material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At school, Lily finally revealed her true intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, she forcibly dragged Maria along under the guise of friendship, taking her everywhere—but during meals or play, Maria was deliberately ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she were merely a decorative accessory, used to highlight Lily’s elegance, maturity, and social skill by contrast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to say, Maria is undoubtedly the perfect supporting role she specifically sought out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though beautiful, her reclusive aura and personality ruined everything—becoming her “friend” meant she could be treated as a servant, too timid to resist, completely at Lily’s mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with this leaf, my flower looks even more beautiful~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice rink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily handed the half-smoked cigarette to Maria, then stepped gracefully onto the ice rink and kissed a man standing in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was her boyfriend, Xiao En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A member of the school ice hockey team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria stared blankly, the half-smoked cigarette in her hand seemingly telling her her place in Lily’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the events of these past two days had already made her clear why Lily had approached her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, she had not made a true friend—she had merely met someone who saw her as weak, easy to bully, and pretty enough to serve as a green leaf for a “flower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two performed a routine, then walked ahead laughing and chatting with their companions, while Maria trailed behind, step by step, like an invisible person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to go back to Madison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, Madison was thinking of her right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Maria’s empty desk, Madison felt a pang of regret—perhaps she shouldn’t have run off that day. But she also resented Maria: why had she just been dragged away after class? Now that she had new friends, she’d forgotten me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, forget it. Let’s focus first on how to get revenge on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madison glared fiercely at the four people nearby, weighing her options: she couldn’t learn Emma’s methods, and she feared the man beside Emma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she could join the student council to deal with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know about other high schools, but at Lakeview High, she had already investigated: the student council held considerable power, especially its representative, Kristina, who was said to be highly skilled—many school bullies had been punished by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One might even say, she was the school’s biggest bully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if she joined the student council, she wouldn’t have to fear being bullied anymore—she could even turn around and get revenge on these bastards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decided. I’m joining the student council!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1456,"2026-06-19T23:34:28.869Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1414792eae913e5e4e04d82ef2fdf50ebba6ece39511ed049daec26cf8d38b2c","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-109","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-107",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-god-through-horror-cover.jpg"]
