In Mr. Damocles's office, Marinette was being yelled at by him.
"I had believed you to be a good student, Miss. Dupain-Cheng," said Mr. Damocles who was sitting behind his desk, rubbing his brow out of frustration.
"However, ever since Miss. Rossi arrived, your attitude has been incomprehensible, and now you are yelling at her in the middle of the cafeteria, assaulting her outside of the school, and even cheating off of other students," he said.
"Have you ever thought to stop and think that maybe she's lying to you and everyone else seeing how out of character that is for me?" asked Marinette. Before another word could be said, the sound of terrified screams could be heard from outside.
"What now?" asked Mr. Damocles as he went out to see what was going on.
"Oh no," said Marinette who had followed. Down on the first floor, a harpy villain was standing in front of Mylene who looked to be in a trance, answering questions that the villain was giving her.
"An Akuma," said Marinette as she went to sneak away, but knocked over a book which made a loud noise once it hit the bottom floor.
"Marinette," said Harpy as she turned to face the girl.
"Not good," thought Marinette as she went to run, but found Harpy to be faster.
"Time to face the truth," said Harpy who had grabbed hold of Marinette's shoulders and pulled her up into the air with the talons on her feet. However, the fabric on the shoulders of her shirt was not strong enough so it ripped under the weight of her body.
"Got you," said Ivan as he caught Marinette.
"Thanks," said Marinette while crossing her arms before her chest to hold her shirt in place.
"You're bleeding," said Mylene as she noticed some scratches from Harpy's talons on Marinette's back.
"It'll heal onceā¦," said Marinette before Harpy swooped in and knocked her back down onto the ground.
"Now then, let's try that again," said Harpy while using her claws to pin Marinette to the floor. At the same time, she was hypnotizing the young designer.
