After a few minutes of driving, they arrived at the school. Jeff looked at the building and nodded in appreciation, noting that it was quite large. Actually, it was much bigger than his own school. "Public schools are really massive," he said quietly. He had always loved the idea of attending a public school, but unfortunately, his mother was too worried about the changes it might bring to his life. Since public school are filled with troubling students that are hard to handle. Despite his personal thoughts, the new environment was beautiful. As they continued their journey, they parked outside the school where many students were waiting along the roadside, hoping for a ride home. As they parked, Jeff hadn’t even stepped out of the vehicle before he felt all eyes on him. The weight of the gazes made his introverted side want to take over, but he suppressed it, since he was now in the process to change his self. Putting some confidence, he lifted his head and met the stares. As soon as he did, most of the girls blushed and quickly looked away, while a few bold ones looked at his gaze directly. On the other hand, the boys stared back with hostility not just because of his looks, but also due to his uniform. After all, their school doesn’t have a harmonious relationship towards their school. As everyone stepped off their motorcycle, Jeff was about to take a moment to fully take in the view of the school when he suddenly felt three presences in front of him. Three students stood there, tall and well-built, and from the look on their faces, it was clear they weren’t the type to focus on their studies for the sake of graduating. "Hey, baby face, what do you think you’re doing here? You better leave now before I turn you into an ugly duckling," the guy in front growled, poking his finger into Jeff’s chest with a menacing glare. Jeff was taken aback by the sudden hostility. He had only just arrived, and trouble was already brewing. Had he done something wrong? First, it was kidnapping, and now he was dealing with these morons. Remembering the kidnapping his eyes shined brightly. "I almost forgot about that, I better do some investigating when I get back home, who knows if those bad guys are planning for revenge," Jeff thought hardly. He didn’t fully understand human nature was but he kind of understand the gist of it, knowing that if he left this problem unresolved, trouble would likely come back to him. After much contemplating he decided that after this, he would need to investigate properly and, of course, report it to the police for protection. "Hey, are you deaf or something? Don’t tell me you peed in your pants so you can’t speak?" the thug laughed, his voice filled with mockery, as his friends joined in. The girls who had been admiring this handsome student were about to step forward, but they were quickly stopped by their classmates. "Hey, can’t you see that’s Pavlo? He’s a member of a gang. Don’t get involved in this kind of stuff," one classmate warned, looking concerned.

Jeff, who was being threatened and called deaf by these bastards, felt his blood boil. This anger was different from when he fought the kidnappers, as these guys seemed to be his own age and grade. With his height advantage, Jeff saw them as smaller beings, and without saying a word, he was ready to beat some sense into this group of troublemakers who were glaring at him with hostility. But before he could act, Ryan, who had been quietly observing, removed his helmet and spoke in a cold tone. "Can you say that again, pineapple face?" Ryan said, as he closed the distance between them, his voice was chilling. The guy, who had been called ’pineapple face,’ was about to curse back, as it hit a sore spot because his face really did resemble a pineapple. But as he glanced to the side, he stopped what he was about to do. The two guys behind him had clearly been about to say something, but they too held their words back. Seeing their silence, Ryan stepped forward, moving right in front of them, face to face. He glared at them coldly and asked again. "Can you repeat what you said?" This time, the student thug was drenched in sweat, his throat tightening as he swallowed nervously. He shook his head, closing his eyes in fear while his body shook continuously. "Heh~ what a coward, come on guys let’s go inside," Ryan said as he shoved him on the side making him fall as the two guys behind him helped him up. Jeff, witnessing the scene unfold, was surprised. Was Ryan really that intimidating? The thugs looked like they were about to piss their pants from just a cold stare. He glanced at those thugs who are so tough earlier, but now they didn’t even dare to look up anymore, he could not but click his tongue. "You’re lucky it was just a shove." Jeff muttered in a low voice. Well in this situation the thugs were really lucky since he was not that weak, he even beat up some grown man, so he was confident. Following Ryan inside the school, Jeff couldn’t help but admire the sight before him. The campus was massive, with numerous buildings and classrooms. There was even a garden, a large pond with a wooden bridge, and a gazebo situated right at the center of the pond. "Pretty amazing, right?" Ryan asked. As he notices Jeff’s gaze fixed on the gazebo floating on the pond with a wooden support sticking out of the pond. "Yes, it’s my first time seeing something . Our school isn’t even a tenth as beautiful as this," Jeff nodded in awe. "Well, you’re right about that," Ryan replied. "But hey, our school is the best when it comes to disciplining students, so it’s not that bad." Jeff nodded at his words, even though their school is very small is not really that bad in the first place. "You know, I think it’s better to wear a mask next time," Ryan said, gritting his teeth as he muttered this. Jeff who was mesmerized was confused by his words, "Why?" he asked. "Look behind you," Ryan said, pointing at his back, his face filled with a hint of grievance. When Jeff turned around, he saw that a group of girls were looking at him, and some of them were the same ones who had been waiting to go home earlier. "What the? Is my face really that attractive to make them stick like a magnet?" he thought to himself. After taking a deep breath, Ryan calmed himself brushing his hand over his regular-looking face. "Let’s just go and... wait..." Ryan suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if remembering something. "I actually remembered that the classroom area is off-limits to students from other schools," Ryan said, narrowing his eyes as he fell into deep thought. "I believe you two aren’t allowed to enter as well, unless there’s some good reason, but I can’t take you in. Even though I’m influential, I’m not really that big yet to give you access to the student’s classroom" 1st: Special thanks to ’Essos👑’ – the GOAT of the month, for both the rewarding gifts and golden tickets!
