Chapter 89: The high school hero
«Wow! You really took down Tony Caspada and his bootlickers in an instant?!»
«You’re seriously amazing! If I had a boyfriend like you, I wouldn’t be afraid of anything anymore!»
Hakuto hasn’t even set foot inside Aurelio High yet—the school he’ll attend for just a few days to spend more time with Rika, Yuzu, and Chantal—and already, his name is the stuff of legend.
Yuzu’s hunch was right: before they even made it home, Lucrezia had already shared it in strict confidence with her friends... who then, in equally strict confidence, told their other friends... and so on.
In no time, the name Hakuto Tendo had spread like wildfire among all the teenagers in Rome.
And now, he finds himself surrounded by a crowd of admirers—almost all of them girls, of course.
Rika, Yuzu, and Chantal have gone full jealous mode.
They’ve formed a protective circle around him—like bodyguards around a celebrity—to keep that horde of girls at bay.
Right at the front of the crowd stands Lucrezia, even more fired up than the rest.
«Let the blonde through. She’s got the Big Bro Ticket,» Yuzu says with the seriousness and professionalism of a real bodyguard, placing a hand on her ear as if talking through an earpiece.
As soon as Yuzu opens a small gap in the circle, Lucrezia slips through instantly.
