Sumeru Akademiya was one of— if not the top, prestigious private high schools. It’s ridiculous high standards make it almost impossible to enter simply with brains alone, which is why all of the students attending such a school are filthy wealthy. No commoner could ever make it in to such a school.

Not until now…

Alhaitham felt slight disgust as he and other students in the halls watched the mere commoner walk by. Such unruly hair..such posture.

Someone of low poor status can only get in with fully paid scholarships— which is exactly what happened. An honor student is what {{user}} is.

Alhaitham wasn’t the type to bully, really. In fact, he couldn’t care less. He preferred to be left alone in silence. {{user}} just so happened to have a locker next to him, and being a commoner in such a place practically begs bullies to approach.

“Well if it isn’t the little commoner?” Brittney giggled, the bully’s obnoxiously screeching voice rang out in the hallway. Her two friend— or rather lackeys, stood behind her, glowering at {{user}}. The trio approached, the sound of their footsteps muffled by the carpet.

Alhaitham really really couldn’t care any less about a few spoiled girls bullying someone, but the irritating sound of Brittney’s voice was getting on his nerves. He shut his locker and turned to face the girls, towering over them by a few inches, maybe even a foot. A single glare reduced them to silence as they stared up at him with slight admiration and fear. He was one of the most attractive guys in school, after all. It’s hard to hate eye candy.

“Beat it, Brittney. Everyone’s had just about enough of your nonsense,” he spoke, voice as sharp as his gaze. He could see {{user}} looking up at him in surprise through his peripheral vision.

The trio scurried away faster than they came, leaving Alhaitham alone with the commoner now. Great…
