Gyun walked down the hall, he glanced down at his schedule, the class was the same as written. He walked behind the teacher, who was trying to make small talk with him.
-This is it…..It's been so long since I could meet people my age. All my friends drifted away from me a few years after I entered a coma according to my mom. This is my chance to start fresh, to become a completely different person than the boogeyman who haunted the battlefield.-
Gyun waited outside the door as the teacher entered the classroom taking up his spot at the front of the class.
"Class!Class!Listen up I know school only started 2 weeks ago but we have a new student with us. He's had some extenuating circumstances so he will be taking our class but you may hear of him being in others. Ok, now why don't you introduce yourself to them."
"A transfer? We're only 2 weeks into the school year and someone's transferred in already?"
"Is it a guy or a girl?"
"Hope they're hot"
Gyun walked through the doorway, taking a deep breath before speaking. "I'm Gyun Sung nice to meet you."
"Very nice, ok now let's begin class". The teacher pointed at a desk in the back of the classroom, "There's a spot in the back for you to sit."
There were whispers that erupted across the class, mostly from the girls commenting on Gyun's appearance. Though the uniform made all students wear a thick dress jacket that hid Gyun's muscles. His wide shoulders and sharp features and jawline coupled with his two different-colored eyes, a side effect of the complete heterochromia he was born with, and flawless olive skin. Made for an extremely attractive combination, with his messy black hair covering his eyes, he had a sort of bad-boy appeal about him.
Gyun sat in his seat, he could feel the eyes of many of his classmates but he ignored them and acted as if he didn't notice.
Class started abuzz with the arrival of a new student, and an extremely handsome one at that.
As the school day progressed, Gyun was struggling to follow along with most of the class material. He hadn't attended an academic class in 10 years, in Murim there was no need for complex algebraic equations or calculus. You just needed to be able to win with either technique or raw power and qi.
The teacher droned on, "Subtract the radical from the rational equation and then simplify the…."
Gyun's eyes glazed over his hands just monotonously writing notes. He thought to himself, -Am I required to come to this? I'm taking the GED anyway. Why do I have to come here?-
It was then he overheard some interesting gossip.
"Hey did you hear Baek Ji-Won knocked out her last fight?"
"Did she?"
"Yeah, I heard her dad pulled some strings so that if she wins her next fight she can fight the number 1 contender in her division."
"Really? Then she might have a chance at the champion!"
"Yeah, you know her dads have been pushing for her to become a respected professional, she's definitely good enough to debut in a larger MMA promotion right she just needs the qualifications."
Another girl interjected into the conversation, "She'd definitely be popular in ONE FC (1) she's pretty and extroverted."
"But her older sisters the real deal isn't she? She's ranked what? 4 in the bantamweight for ONE FC she's only 5 years older than Ji-Won right?."
The girls continued on, Gyun waited until the bell rang for lunch.
Gyun walked down the hall, there was somewhat of a crowd in the hallway, they were curious about the new handsome transfer.
Gyun arrived pretty late so it took a while to get his food.
'I don't really know anybody, should I just go ask those girls from before?'
Gyun was pondering what to do when someone called out to him.
"Hey, transfer!"
He turned to see a trio of guys accompanied by a girl, the girl was the one who called out to him. Sporting bangs with a blue stripe dyed in her hair she was pretty Gyun gave her that.
She was smiling widely, as she trotted over to him leisurely. The guys behind her looked less amenable, with sour expressions they sauntered their way over
The one that seemed to be leading the guys, looked similar enough to the girl that Gyun would hazard a guess that he was her brother. He was also good-looking and had well-developed traps and his shoulder were wider than his waist, indicating he had a good physique and trained often
The other two, looked average or below average, with skinny arms and frames, there was nothing that stood out to Gyun.
-The girl is a 2 out of 100, the brother a 10, and the other two are a 4 and 5, they're not a remote threat-
