Reborn as an Yandere : Yandere X Yandere

 Half an Hour Ago...  

In the dormitory corridors, chaos had taken over.  

Everywhere was filled with danger. It was obvious that moving alone was a death sentence, so most students had formed groups to survive.  

One such group ran through the dimly lit hallway, their footsteps echoing as they moved cautiously.  

Some students constantly looked back to check for threats, while others focused forward, making sure nothing ambushed them from ahead.  

In this group, there were four girls and three boys. Among them, the strongest was a boy with violet hair and a sturdy build.  

He wasn’t particularly handsome, but his height and physique made him stand out.  

His name was Xavier.  

At this moment, he was undoubtedly the leader of the group.  

But just as they reached a turning point in the corridor—  

Swish...  

A soft breeze passed.  

For a second, nothing seemed unusual.  

Then—  

Thud.  

Xavier’s head rolled onto the floor.  

His body followed right after, collapsing lifelessly onto the cold ground.  

The group froze in horror.  

Standing just a few steps away was a woman, holding a crimson-red katana in her hand.  

She had a tanned, toned body—muscular enough to show strength but not enough to take away from her curves. Her figure was striking, her chest full, and her posture confident.  

She looked seductive. Dangerous.  

It was none other than Maruti.  

A smile played on her lips as she casually wiped the blood off her katana.  

"Another one down!" she said cheerfully. "This is such a nice weapon. So sharp, so light… I love it!"  

She had received many weapons from Trynne’s treasure room, just like Esdeath, but until now, she had never used them.  

Now was the perfect time.  

While she admired her new sword, the rest of the students could only stare at her in horror.  

"Maruti?!"  

One of them finally spoke—the vice leader of the group.  

"Why did you kill him?!"  

The others immediately stepped back, their hands trembling as they gripped their weapons.  

They were on full alert.  

Maruti blinked, as if she had just realized what she had done.  

"Oops..." She rolled her eyes, trying to think of a quick excuse.  

Then, with the most innocent expression she could muster, she said—  

"Umm… actually, he was turning into a monster! Yeah! He was about to attack you guys, so I killed him before that happened!"  

It was the worst excuse possible. Even Maruti herself thought no one would believe it.  

She sighed internally, preparing to kill the rest of them.  

But then—  

Their reaction shocked her.

Maruti is a Class A student, an elite. If she says it, then it must be true!" a girl in the group said confidently.

The others thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for saving us!"

Maruti stood there, stunned.

They actually bought it? Even she was surprised.

Then, a smirk formed on her lips as she praised herself.

"Alright, guys! I still have some other people to save, so goodbye!" She waved her hand and turned to leave.

"Are you sure you want to go alone? We can help you!" a boy in the group offered.

Maruti didn’t even hesitate.

"No need! I’m more than enough on my own! Gonna save the world!" she said enthusiastically before disappearing into the chaos.

As she moved swiftly through the academy, dodging fallen debris and passing by terrified students, one thought kept running through her mind.

Alice Arlecchino… Where the hell are you?

At the outskirts of the academy, near the ground floor, there was a path leading to the academy gardens.

Benches were placed along the walkway for students to sit and rest.

But in the middle of this disaster, who had time to sit down and relax?

Yet, despite all the chaos, one girl was sitting quietly on a bench.

She had long, flowing purple hair that covered her forehead and eyes. A dark gloomy, eerie purple aura surrounded her.

She looked human, but there was something different about her.

Wrapped tightly around her waist, as if she were hugging herself in fear, was a small, cute purple tail.

Her body was curvy and beautiful, and the way her academy uniform stretched over her chest made her figure stand out.

She had a perfect body, but her gloomy aura completely overshadowed her beauty, making her look distant and unapproachable.

What should I do? Where should I go? Should I call for help?

Her thoughts were a mess.

"But I'm not good at talking to people… I don't know how to cooperate… I'm not even that strong… I won’t last in a team for long. They’ll just kick me out like they always do!"

She let out a quiet sigh, pulling her legs up onto the bench and hugging them.

She had chosen this place because it was quiet.

It seemed like no one thought coming here was a good idea.

And because of that, this place had unintentionally become a safe zone.

But her luck didn’t last long.

Suddenly—

A powerful gust of wind blew through the area, sending a shockwave in all directions.

The force of the wind made her hair fly back, uncovering her face.

Her fluffy, now slightly messy hair revealed a pair of striking purple eyes.

And for the first time, her true beauty was fully visible.

She looked breathtaking.

Her face was enchanting—mature, seductive, and elegant all at once.

It was as if the wind had blown away all her gloominess, revealing the stunning woman hidden underneath.

But before she could even appreciate the moment—

Her face turned pale.

Because standing in front of her was the cause of that powerful gust of wind.

A massive, towering beast.

"A… giant ape?" she whispered in shock.

The creature was covered in thick fur, its eyes filled with wild, uncontrollable rage.

It was a Rank C wind-type beast.

But despite its rank, its strength was terrifying—almost comparable to a Rank B monster.

Her entire body froze.

She had nowhere to run.

"No way! I won’t even be able to block a single attack! "

Panic filled her heart as she quickly got up, her only thought being to run away.  

But just as she took one step—  

Thud!  

She tripped and fell to the ground.  

Her body froze as she looked up at the giant ape.  

The massive beast raised its hand, swirling with powerful winds.  

Its eyes glowed with wild rage, and it was ready to strike.  

She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for death.  

But then—  

"Divine Circle!"  

A powerful voice echoed through the air.  

BAM!  

A loud sound shook the ground.  

The girl flinched, but after a moment, she realized—she was still alive!  

Her eyes fluttered open, and she gasped in shock.  

A huge golden magic circle stood in front of her, blocking the giant ape’s attack.  

And behind it, standing tall and strong, was a muscular girl.  

"Finally! I got to use light magic! Its defense is really good!" The girl smirked, completely unfazed by the battle.  

Who else could it be but Maruti?  

"She saved me!" 

The purple-haired girl stared at her savior with wide eyes, her heart racing.  

But then, her gaze shifted.  

She noticed something in Maruti’s hand.  

"A piece of paper? A letter?"

Before she could think too much, Maruti turned to face her.  

"Hey, pretty girl! Have you seen a gloomy, introverted girl with long hair covering her eyes? I need to find her as soon as possible!" Maruti asked.  

"Pretty girl?"

The purple-haired girl’s face turned bright red.  

"Haha… no, no, I’m not that pretty!" She shook her head so fast it looked like a blur.  

But then, something clicked in her mind.  

"Wait a minute… Is that letter in her hand a love letter?"

Her eyes widened slightly.  

"Is she… going to confess to that girl? "

Her cheeks turned pink at the thought.  

"It’s not impossible… With all this chaos around us, maybe she wants to confess before it’s too late? So she won’t have any regrets? "

But then she shook her head aggressively.  

"I need to stop reading so many yuri romance novels! My mind is becoming more and more perverted!"

As she spiraled into her own little world—  

BAM!  

The giant ape struck the magic barrier again, causing another powerful shockwave.  

But Maruti held firm, her stance unwavering.  

"Hey, you! Stop shaking your head and answer me already! Do you know her or not?"  

"I-I don’t know!"  

She quickly hugged her head, shrinking under Maruti’s scolding voice.

Maruti sighed, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face. "Is that so?" she muttered. But then, as if struck by an amusing thought, a smirk slowly crept onto her lips.  

At that moment, the purple-haired girl's eyes widened in realization." A gloomy girl with her eyes covered by her hair? Wait a minute… Isn't that me? "

She quickly turned towards Maruti, her mouth opening to speak. "I—"  

But before she could utter another word, Maruti had already made her move.  

"Then I should finish him first!" She smirked, shifting her gaze back to the towering giant ape.  

She crouched slightly, tightening her grip, and gathered immense power in her right fist. At the same time, flames erupted around her knuckles, crackling like a roaring wildfire as she prepared to leap forward and strike.  

But then—  

Crack—  

Without warning, the ground beneath them shattered.  

A deep, gaping hole opened up beneath Maruti’s feet.  

Her expression flickered with momentary shock.  

Her balance broke.  

Her golden magic circle wavered and vanished.  

And in the next instant—  

She fell.  

"No!"  

Without thinking, the purple-haired girl lunged forward. Her fingers stretched out desperately, and by sheer luck—  

She caught Maruti’s finger.  

Only one.  

A single, fragile connection.  

But for Maruti, it was enough.  

She immediately tried to channel her magic, her eyes narrowing in focus. But then—  

Her expression twisted in confusion.  

"What…? Why isn’t my magic working?! My essence stone—it’s not responding!"  

Panic flickered in her gaze for the first time.  

"Pull me up! Hurry!" she urged.  

The purple-haired girl gritted her teeth, her arms straining as she tried to lift Maruti with all her might. But her strength—compared to Ethan, Esdeath, or even Maruti herself—was insignificant.  

Her entire body trembled from the effort. Her vision blurred, overwhelmed by the weight of the moment.  

"I can't pull you up…! I can’t…!" Her voice quivered, her confidence crumbling.  

At that moment, dark memories of her past surfaced like a cruel whisper in the back of her mind.  

Just like before… I’m not strong enough. Just a coward, too weak to do anything right…  

Her grip weakened.  

Her fingers slipped.  

And then—  

Slurp—  

They completely separated.  

"NOOOOOO!"  

Her scream tore through the air as Maruti plummeted into the abyss below.  

But even as she fell, Maruti showed no fear. Instead, she smirked, her voice carrying through the air.  

"I’ll be back in no time! Find Alice Arlecchino for me by then! I need to ki—"  

Before she could finish, the void swallowed her whole, and she disappeared into the darkness.  

A sharp, suffocating pain pierced through the purple-haired girl's chest. Her entire body felt hollow.  

Tears streamed down her cheeks like an endless river.  

Her voice trembled as she whispered, "It’s me… Alice Arlecchino is me…"  

"You died because of me… I let another person die because of me… Sob… sob… If only I had the courage to join a team… If only…"  

Her small sobs soon turned into uncontrollable weeping, her body shaking as regret drowned her.  

But then—  

Grrrrr…  

A deep, rumbling growl filled the air.  

The giant ape, now completely unbothered by the earlier commotion, pounded his massive fists against his chest and roared.  

His glowing, beastly eyes locked onto Alice.  

It was his turn to attack.  

"Stop growling," Alice muttered.  

The ape ignored her, letting out another deafening roar before charging straight at her, the ground quaking under his monstrous strength.  

Alice clenched her fists.  

Something inside her snapped.  

"I SAID STOP GROWLING!"  

Her voice echoed like thunder.  

Her eyes burned with a deep, luminous purple glow.  

In the blink of an eye, she lunged forward.  

BAM!  

Her fist connected.  

A ripple of condensed purple energy burst through the air, crackling like violent lightning.  

BOOM!  

The ape never even had the chance to react.  

His massive body was instantly reduced to nothing but ash.  

But the destruction didn’t stop there.  

The residual force of Alice’s attack expanded outward, a devastating purple shockwave obliterating everything within a thirty-meter radius.  

The once chaotic battlefield had turned into a wasteland of silence.  

Alice stood alone, panting heavily, her fists still trembling with leftover energy.  

Her gaze hardened.  

"Heheh...hahahahhaa ...",She started laughing like a maniac.

Her personality took 180° turn.

"What a fucking weak monkey, Stronger...I need someone stronger.."
