The next day...
The students who had just arrived at school were immediately surprised by an announcement that Lyube was about to broadcast.
"Hello, everyone. Good morning to all of you..." Lyube said through the giant monitor in the school's front courtyard.
The students who heard him were instantly confused because Lyube had never greeted them with a "good morning" before.
Lyube let out a sigh and gave a faint smile. "Starting today, I will abolish the bullying system entirely."
The students who heard those words were overjoyed and couldn't believe that Lyube was willing to eliminate the system he had loved ever since becoming the head of the Security Division.
"I never thought I would end up abolishing this system either... However, from this day forward, we will punish every student involved in bullying," Lyube continued.
From a second-floor window, Rai watched the announcement. A slight smile appeared on his face as he saw several students happily jumping around and hugging one another.
Suddenly, several members of the Security Division walked past Rai. They glared at him with irritated expressions, but Rai simply ignored them and continued looking out the window.
A moment later, Liora approached him.
"Who would've thought? You actually managed to defeat Lyube all by yourself."
Rai answered calmly, "So?"
Liora shook her head.
"Nothing. I just wanted to congratulate you because you've successfully caught the attention of the other Reviva Council members."
Meanwhile, elsewhere, the three girls from Percival Class who had bullied Aveline were being questioned by members of the Security Division. The moment Xeno witnessed the scene, all the anger he had been holding onto finally disappeared.
However, one of the boys from Percival Class couldn't accept that his girlfriend was being punished.
"What the hell is this? Let her go! You don't have any proof that she committed bullying!" he shouted.
Annoyed by being yelled at, one of the Security Division members immediately grabbed the boy by the throat.
"Hey, you've got some nerve yelling at us, huh? Do you want to be placed in isolation for three days?"
The boy immediately shot back,
"I'm just asking! Do you even have any proof?"
Seeing the situation, Xeno pulled out he phone and showed them a video recording that clearly captured the boy's girlfriend and her friends bullying Aveline.
"Do you need a pair of glasses? if you want, I can get one for you," Xeno said.
The boy fell silent in shock as he watched the footage. He turned toward his girlfriend, who was pretending to know nothing and had even started crying as if she were innocent.
"This is hilarious. Now take them to face Lyube," one of the Security Division members ordered his colleagues.
The Security Division members then left the classroom, escorting the three girls away.
Meanwhile, as Rai was walking through the hallway, he unexpectedly ran into Lia.
"Rai!" Lia called out as she hurried toward him.
The moment Rai saw her, he immediately felt uncomfortable. He deliberately looked away, hoping to avoid causing yet another problem.
"Do you have any free time today?" Lia asked as she stood in front of him.
Rai glanced around. He felt extremely uneasy because the surrounding students were staring at him as though he were a wanted criminal.
"Why?" Rai replied.
Blushing shyly, Lia finally asked,
"Would you... like to go to the movies with me?"
Rai fell silent for a moment as he looked into Lia's eyes. He wanted to refuse because he didn't want to get involved with a student from Luminara Class. However, luck happened to be on his side this time.
Suddenly, Rai's phone rang.
It was Mr. Yuto calling.
Lia, annoyed that their conversation had been interrupted, looked at him curiously.
"Is that Xeno?" she asked.
"No. It's the big boss," Rai replied.
Rai stepped away from Lia before answering the call.
"What is it?" Rai asked.
Mr. Yuto suddenly burst into laughter, leaving Rai completely confused.
"Hey, Rai! I already heard everything from Lyube. You were seriously amazing!"
The moment Rai heard that, he made a disgusted expression.
"I'm busy right now, so stop bothering me," Rai replied.
Mr. Yuto sounded flustered.
"Hey, wait a second! I'm not fini—"
Before he could finish, Rai hung up the call.
When Rai turned around, Lia was already gone.
Seeing that, Rai let out a sigh of relief.
"I've been saved..." Rai muttered.
Elsewhere, Liora went to meet Lyube, who was standing on the school's rooftop. Lyube was looking down at the first-year students chatting happily with one another below.
"I never expected you to agree to his request," Liora said.
Lyube shifted his gaze toward her.
"What choice did I have? Besides, I lost the bet to him."
Hearing that, Liora smiled and walked closer to Lyube.
"It reminds me of when you first joined the Security Division. Back then, you were so arrogant and always acted like you were the strongest."
Lyube remained silent.
After a brief moment, Liora broke the silence once again.
"By the way, news about your fight has already reached the ears of the other Reviva Council members."
Lyube gave a cynical smile.
"I've always hated Opportunis Dorm. For some reason, it always produces students capable of surprising the Reviva Council."
Liora remained silent for a moment before speaking again.
"But from the past until now, there's only been one student from Opportunis Dorm who ever became the Leader of the Reviva Council."
"That's true. Even a prideful dorm like Percival has produced the Leader of the Reviva Council several times," Lyube replied.
Lost in thought, Liora quietly said,
"I have to admit... that boy is quite interesting. But why is someone like him in Opportunis Dorm?"
