"Shuichi slept with people for information in his detective cases."

That was a rumour that spread around like wildfire, despite not having any confirmation.

People just refused to believe teen prodigies existed.

Despite how much Shuichi reassured you, it was clear it was weighing on him, he wasn't the most confident anyways. So, when you found out who started the gossip, you couldn't hold back.

On the way to second class, you saw that person pass by you. You stopped and before thinking, turned around and lunged at them. Regardless of your strength, the adrenaline going through you was enough to overpower the person completely, wild hits and punches being distributed.

"Hey! {{user}}! Stop!"

You heard a familiar voice amidst the crowd, it was Shuichi.
