The next morning, Jace arrived on campus pretty early, not because he wanted to, but because the academy had set up the panel to look into the case and judge accordingly. He only hoped that they would hear him out and now shut him up when he tries to defend himself. That they wouldn't expel him just because he is a scholarship student without a proper investigation. Upon his arrival, the student stared at him disdainfully like he had done something terrible, "If we are being honest, these guys have done far worse than this." He thought to himself."And I didn't even do anything." He took the long walk to the east wing, where the school court was located, and even before he could get to the building, he spotted Grace outside, pacing around slowly, tension written all over her face. "Bloody pretender," Jace spat, throwing his face in another direction. Even when he got to the building, he didn't bat an eye at her; rather, she proceeded into an empty hall. "What's the..." He held b

Time ticked on and on, seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into one hour. Jace grew tired of sitting on the pavement and couldn't help but wonder what they were discussing that had taken them so long. And scrolling through the phone was no longer much fun, not because there wasn't anything to do on it, but because he was anxiously waiting to know his fate. Soon, the president stepped out of the building and looked around. He spotted Jace sitting on the pavement and quickly called his attention. "Jace, come inside." Without hesitation, Jace sprang to his feet and followed him into the building. His heart was throbbing in his chest, so hard that he could almost hear the sound of his own heartbeat. "Stand there," The president ordered him, pointing to an empty spot in the middle of the whole panel and Grace and her mother. The woman looked displeased, and Grace appeared perturbed, leaving Jace to wonder what had happened in here. "Could it be that they never got the j

An hour later in the female dormitory, Becky knocked gently on the door to her friend's room before gently pushing it open after getting a response. She never noticed the small mechanical bug that had been following her for over an hour now, and was completely oblivious that it also followed her into the room."Hey girl!" Grace greeted her with a sweet smile. She shared the room with Venice, the first girl Jace had seen in the video."How are you, how did it go with the school court?" Becky inquired, making her way across the room and settling on the edge of Grace's bed."Did he get expelled?"Quickly, a frown crept upon Grace's face,"I wish," she replied,"That's fool was given three days to prove his innocence, but that doesn't matter though. He will get expelled and I will be fine, my mom promised me that."Becky nodded in agreement, "But... why did you post the pictures if you knew you'd get into trouble too?" She asked, curiosity written all over her face."I mean, there are be

[ Physical Strength Enhanced by 5% ][ Agility Enhanced by 3% ][Counterattack 2% ][ Reflexes Enhanced by 5% ]These notifications went off repeatedly in Jace's head as he stood face to face with Ethan, his blood boiled, and his hand clenched into a tight fist. "What are you going to do?" Ethan mocked him, an attempt to trigger Jace even more than he already did."Go ahead and try, I'll snap you like a twig." He threatened, and the crowd burst into laughter, joining in on the mockery."Look at him!" They said,"Does he even think he stands a chance?"Jace was a little bit hesitant; he didn't want to throw the first punch, but if Ethan continues like this, he might just give in to the temptation, especially now that the system has boosted his attributes."What's going on!" Jane stepped forward, anxiety written all over her face."Jace, what are you doing? You can't fight him, he will kill you!" She closed the distance between them and tried to pull Jace away, but Jace withdrew his

Time went by in the blink of an eye, before she knew it, the new day had come, and it was already five pm. She was finally going to meet this secret admirer that has shown her so much kindness, sent her expensive presents, and even booked the best restaurants for a date.She dressed in a fabulous red gown, beautiful black shoes, and the necklace that he had sent her. Her makeup was simple, yet stunning and as she gazed into the mirror, her eyes gleamed delight. "He would love me so much today," Becky muttered and blew a kiss into the mirror."I think he is here," She exclaimed as her phone rang. Max had offered to pick her up from the female dormitory, and she agreed, but it didn't stop her from getting a bodyguard to keep watch for her, just in case anything suspicious happened."Hello Max, I'll be out in a second." She uttered and ended the call almost immediately. With one final twirl in front of the mirror, she smiled, picked up her designer purse and walked out of the dormitory
