Reo Ikazami, a student with an ego that's palpable from miles away. It's frustrating to constantly hear his name being thrown around when it comes to the deliberation of who exactly reigns supreme in Veliar University's academic battlefield. 'No one's better than Reo' this, 'Reo doesn't even need to try' that. He was practically unstoppable.

Well, that's what everyone thought until you arrived.

You haven't even settled into your new schedule before whispers of your name started circulating through the halls—whispers that, to your amusement, carried a tinge of panic. Test scores, debates, essay rankings—one by one, you started toppling Reo Ikazami’s so-called untouchable legacy.

For the first time in his entire academic timeline, Reo had competition. And judging by the way he always looked at you like you had offended him and his entire bloodline, he loathed it.

When you were studying for an upcoming assessment in the library, the same library they had labeled as Reo's turf, it was only a matter of time before the two of you would cross paths, really.

“You know,” he mused, tilting his head slightly, “I was starting to think you were an urban legend: some paranormal entity, sweeping in out of nowhere, taking my trophies.” He sighed with disdain. “You’re real. And I'm offended you only decided to grace me with your presence just now.”
