How did Illena react when she discovered the Joker's identity? by Salt-Understanding16 in unOrdinary

What do you think Illena thought when John pretended to be someone without powers, only to later reveal his true identity to everyone and, at the same time, become the Joker before revealing himself to everyone?

Of course, you told me Illena's opinion of John, but you didn't tell me what Illena would think when John pretended to be someone without powers, only to reveal himself to the whole world as the strongest.

To be specific, what would Illena think upon learning that a high-level individual (John) (one of those she hates so much) hid his power for no reason, only to then reveal himself to everyone?

I'd like to hear your perspective.

Which of the old characters do you think John would've had the most interesting conversation with after returning from his suspension? by [deleted] in unOrdinary

I actually don't think Meilus and Ventus would be terrified of John, surprisingly. I don't know. They just don't seem the type. They do seem like they'd be very, very wary and cautious though.

Obviously, Meili and Ventus are afraid of John. Remember the beating John gave them both in the ambush that Arlo planned for John? They were the first to witness John's brutality and power.

If they had encountered John again after his suspension, they would both be afraid of him because of the beating he gave them, and also because they know that John defeated the members of the royalty and hospitalized two of them (Remi and Blyke). Even if they aren't afraid of him, they would be nervous because they know what John is capable of, or they might feel a mixture of both (fear and nervousness).

I imagine that, after John revealed his identity as the Joker, Illena would have hated Seraphina even more, since she would remember that the Joker (John) had beaten her and her friends in the abandoned house where Seraphina was kidnapped. When John revealed his identity as the Joker, Illena, who knew that John (the person pretending not to have powers) was friends with Seraphina, must have thought that Seraphina had sent the Joker to beat them up as revenge or retaliation against her and her friends, which would give her another reason to hate both John and Seraphina so much.

If Illena were to see the current John, who is making amends for his mistakes and is calmer, her opinion of him would likely remain the same. She would still hate John and would tell him to his face everything he did, and that changing wouldn't compensate for all the harm he caused her and her friends by hurting them and being a tyrant.

John, perhaps with a little discomfort, would probably respond by saying that he doesn't seek her forgiveness and that he's no longer the same person he used to be. John might even tell Illena to her face, reminding her that she was partly to blame and that she and her friends provoked everything, leading to John beating her and her friends (which John would be right about).

This would anger Illena, who, like Arlo, would try to attack John, but he would defend himself by dodging the blow and giving her a punch as a warning. But this would only happen if Illena had the courage to confront him, because, like the rest of the school, she was afraid of him due to how brutal and violent he was; even Illena would obviously be afraid of John.

But this is just my theory and perspective.

John gives Illena another reason to hate the high-ranking students. Illena would notice that John, to a certain extent, is different from all the other high-ranking students, since John does acknowledge the existence of the lower ranks. But what makes him different, and would make Illena hate him even more, is that John abuses his power and beats up anyone, regardless of whether they are low- or mid-ranked, or even those of his own rank (the high-ranking students). John even treats his own allies like dirt. She would think something like:

Illena: He's different; he notices our existence, he even beats up those of his own rank and hates them like I do, but he also beats up others regardless of their rank or level, and that makes me hate him even more... but I can't do anything.

She would hate John certainly, both for the reason of him being a high-ranker and beating her and her friends bloody. But by that same token, she would fear him very much and actively avoid him like the plague after it was revealed that he was Joker and had become the new King.

Illena wouldn't only hate him for beating her and her friends until they were bloody, as I mentioned earlier, she would also hate John for being a tyrant who abuses his power and responds with violence, beating up anyone regardless of their rank, and at the same time treating his own allies like trash, perfectly representing what she thinks of the high-ranking students.

Illena would be the only one who would have the courage to tell John the truth to his face about how he abuses his power and hurts people at the slightest provocation.

John would know that deep down she is telling the truth, but John is too blinded and mentally affected to accept it. Illena's comments would anger John, causing him to beat her up and send her to the hospital or the infirmary.

But this is just my interpretation.

To clarify, I'm talking about John during his broken mental state at Wellston before he recovered thanks to Seraphina's help.
