As Nero entered the classroom, a few individuals cast their sights towards him, but as they saw his look, their eyes flashed as some couldn't help but feel shocked.
"Huh? What the hell?" Someone said as they looked at Nero's direction,
"Is he really...?" Another person was about to speak, but a graceful voice sounded before him.
"N-Nero? Is that you?" One voice said from a female who sat near the front; she was a good-looking girl with natural wavy hair wearing a trendy dress and had round eyes with brown pupils, staring at him with an astonished look.
This girl was known as Kailyn, one of the prettiest girls in Nero's year group. Naturally, the two used to talk a lot in his early years of school and he felt a slight amount of goodwill towards her.
However, nothing went further than that as his only emotions to her was only a slight interest. He didn't value her more than his mother, especially after what happened when he was isolated due to offending Velmon's family.
Nero would never forget how she called him a spineless loser's son, the first day he returned after the shaming scene of his mother kneeling.
Nero calmly headed to his seat, which was naturally as a book worm the front corner of the class. He didn't even spare a glance towards her, as his icy demeanor gave rise to unusual emotions to some of the female's hearts.
"Oh... so cool..." One girl said as she peeked at him from her desk.
A few others had similar reactions as the males cursed to themselves.
"Tch! What's with this little shit? Does he think he's hot shit now that he's cleaned his dirty hair and drop his glasses?" One youth said as he slammed his desk and gritted his teeth.
"Let him be, Benson doesn't like him; I'll see if he can keep this up when Benson gets to the daily routine, hehe!" A skinny youth said.
Kailyn looked at Nero with a frown on her face; she didn't like being ignored, especially when she made the initiative to call him out. As proud as she is, she won't go over to speak to him again, but she definitely won't let his actions slide.
Kailyn sat down with a vicious look in her eyes while lowering her head and thinking, 'Poor little bastard, I gave you respect by calling you out, and you ignore me, just you wait...'
As Kailyn thought this, she glared at Nero once more, but as she saw how he casually leaned back his chair with both of his legs crossed over, and his flowing silver hair moving with the wind, she couldn't help but gulp slightly as her legs crossed over.
Her breath grew unsteady as her arms trembled when she cursed in her thought with a flushed face, 'This... this... this bastard, how dare he? How dare he? How could I... I to him? Damnit!'
Not even paying attention to Kailyn or anyone else for that matter. Nero was busy staring out the window, his red pupils showing a deep gaze as he pondered, 'While I can use my abilities in the real world, I don't know if anyone dangerous has found out about that accident. I'll need to find a chance to practice these skills after my part-time work...'
While Nero thought to himself, the class grew even louder, as even Benson had arrived. He looked at Nero in shock as a group of guys talked to him from the back of the class, but he did nothing as he knew the class was about to start.
As if the teacher heard his thoughts, the door opened, and a curvy lady with a medium length dark brown hair and glasses, covering her thin, beautiful eyes as her lips had red makeup. She wore a typical female teacher's attire, a black skirt, and a formal shirt, with black stockings and high heels.
While walking, her heels would resound in the now silent room as she made her way towards her desk and stared at the class while speaking, "Good morning, everyone.'
Nero and the others rose to their feet before greeting, "Good morning Miss Garnet."
Miss Garnet smiled as she looked at them and nodded before she spoke, "Please be seated.'
The student sat down after those words, as they looked at her in silence, Miss Garnet then spoke with a wide smile, "Before we begin our lessons, I'd like to point out that today will be a little special, as we've received two exceptional transfer students."
"What?" The students said in shock.
Nero knitted his brows as he thought, "Transfer, at this time of the year? Especially in this type of top-class academy, they must certainly be far more than 'exceptional' individuals. Oh well, not my business…"
After thinking here, Nero shifted his eyes towards the scene outside once more. Following his thoughts, Miss Garnet turned her sights towards the door and made an inviting gesture as she spoke, "Please do come in and introduce yourselves."
Not long after, two individuals walked from behind the open door. As everyone looked over, their eyes beamed as they saw a pretty girl with long chestnut-colored hair, large rounded eyes with long eyelashes, and a small nose. She had cherry red lips and a petite but well-shaped body visible from her simple thigh-length red skirt and a long sleeve shirt with a heart marking.
As for the other individual, he was a similarly short but silent-looking Asian youth wearing a technology patterned black shirt and blue jeans, with Earpods in his ears. He had short yellowish hair of an undercut hairstyle and glasses over his sharp-looking eyes that were perpetually fixed onto the screen on his smartphone. His fingers tapped away like mad as if he was playing some video game.
The chestnut-colored hair girl made a graceful posture as she spoke, "Good morning, everyone, my name is Elishia Balkras, but you can all just call me Elly. It's my honor to be among your class, so please take care of me in the future..."
After Elisha spoke, the Asian youth finally shifted his eyes upwards and spoke with a sharp gaze and an icy accent, "Kojima Ryo..."
Not long after the two's introduction, the class became filled with noise as everyone began to speak.
"Wow! Such a gorgeous girl," One of the males said as they looked at the petite beauty.
"Haha, our class now has another flower," Some other guy said.
As all of the men became excited, the girls looked at the beauty with flashing eyes as they were thinking of making friends later.
Kailyn looked at Elly for a while before snorting as she felt a bit uncomfortable at her appearance.
Benson, on the other hand, had bright eyes as he declared to his friends, "That's it, I've decided on my wife."
A few of his friends laughed at him, but he glared at them and spoke, "Huh? You think it's funny?"
The guys around trembled a bit before cheering him on, Benson felt better at that and didn't act out.
While the commotion started because of Elly, Ryo had returned his attention to his phone; no one bothered to pay him any mind; his presence seemed even more fleeting than the previous Nero's.
Soon, Miss Garnet clapped her hands, returning an order to the room as she stared at Elly and Ryo as she spoke, "That's good, now then Elly, Ryo, while both of your grades are top class, we are still midway into the semester. I recommend sitting nearby the front to catch on to things more quickly. Go, find a seat nearby; we'll begin class with history."
"Okay," Elly said with a smile as she moved ahead.
Ryo also nodded as he began walking to the side while playing with his phone.
Elly began looking around for a decent seat; she noticed that a fat ugly youth was winking towards her from the back of the class with an inviting gesture.
Upon seeing that, a frown came on her face as her attitude was about to flair-up immediately, but suddenly, she took a deep breath and repeat to herself in her mind, 'Calm... graceful.... calm... graceful...'
As she continuously repeated this while looking around, her regular demeanor returned as she turned her head to the side.
There she saw a seat beside an odd individual with silver hair, just by looking at this person she felt a strange feeling as if she'd seen him somewhere before. Not bothering to overthink, she sat herself down in the seat beside him, causing everyone to look at her with disappointment in their eyes.
Benson's eyes were ablaze, as Kailyn felt sour for some reason, the two looked over at the scene with awful looks on their faces.
As for Ryo, he had found the seat behind Nero to be empty, so he sat down while continuing to play with his phone.
Soon, Miss Garnet had prepared to begin her class, taking out her teaching items as she connected a tablet screen to the board.
Elly was a bit excited in her new environment, but she still felt a bit concerned about the young man beside her. She turned and looked at him, noticing that he had one arm on his cheek, and he faced the window, making his profile difficult to recognize.
However, from this glance, she felt he was rather pleasing to look at least from a glance. Elly grew curious, so she spoke with a tone of greeting, "Hello, my name is Elly, what's yours?"
Nero only now noticed that class was beginning, he heard the charming voice that could soothe his soul once more and was a bit puzzled as he wondered where he heard this voice before.
As he turned and faced her, the girl's eyes changed as she opened her mouth in shock, before ushering in a loud and alarming tone, "It's you!"
