"Who's that guy? How can he be walking into the academy with Dean Kruse?" A young boy in the crowd asked, puzzled.
He had voiced the same question that was on everyone's mind.
At Red Maple Academy, it was customary for all members to wear a badge whenever they went out—a symbol of their identity.
Yet, Luca wore no such badge. It was clear that he wasn't part of Red Maple Academy, but he was still able to walk alongside them into the academy. This left everyone bewildered.
Among the crowd, Susie was also staring at the backs of Kruse's group, her eyes filled with confusion.
Why did she feel like that person looked so familiar?
"What are you looking at?" A tall young man approached her with a smile, interrupting her thoughts.
He was well-built, tall and muscular, with a handsome face. His gaze was filled with unabashed passion whenever it landed on Susie.
