Luna, Marina, and Alice turned around, their faces turned into scared one. A stern-faced professor, a couple of campus security guards, and several faculty members marched straight into the studio.

“We are totally doomed,” Alice whispered, staring at Marina with panicked eyes. “What’s going to happen to us? I can’t let them call my parents.”

A senior teacher stepped forward. It was Miss Charlotte. She was quite old and notoriously strict. Tucking her glasses up her nose, she glared at the girls. “What do you think you are doing in here? How can you go against university rules like this? Because of your little broadcast, absolutely nobody is in their classes right now. You will all be thoroughly investigated. Follow me, all of you.”

Without waiting for an answer, she turned around and ordered the faculty to escort them out, telling the security guards to lock up the room and strictly warn the broadcast club never to let anyone enter without permission again.

The moment they stepped out into the hallway, they found Jax and Blair standing right there, completely ready to fight with Luna. Miss Charlotte stopped and looked them up and down. Her eyes lingered heavily on Blair’s bold, revealing dress. Making a weird, disgusted face, she snapped, “And who might you two be?”

“Jax and Blair,” Marina replied instantly with a smug look.

Miss Charlotte glanced at Marina, then turned her judgmental eyes back toward the cheating couple. “Both of you should also come with me to the Dean’s office.” As she passed by them, she murmured under her breath with a heavy sigh, “I am absolutely shocked. How are parents raising their children to be this shameless these days? Uffff.”

Blair glared viciously at Miss Charlotte’s back before snapping her head around to look at Luna. Luna just smirked right back at her. Infuriated, Blair rushed forward to attack her, but 

Miss Charlotte loudly interrupted, “What are you all waiting for? Let’s go.”

Blair rolled her eyes around, swung her hair back, and walked away like a high-fashion model. Marina rolled her hand into a tight fist, fighting the urge to swing. “Look at her attitude. Wow, some people really never learn.”

“Let’s just ignore her and go,” Luna said quietly, pulling her friends along.

Once inside the main administrative office, Miss Charlotte went to call the Dean, instructing the group to wait inside the staff room. The second the door closed, Jax turned on Luna, his face completely flushed with rage. “I didn't know you were so cunning!" he lashed out at her. "How could you record us like that?!”

Luna casually crossed her legs, leaning back into the sofa and folding her arms over her chest. “I also didn’t know that you were so completely characterless.”

Marina and Alice scoffed loudly in the background. Jax’s face turned an embarrassing shade of dark red as pure anger flushed through him.

Sitting right beside Jax, Blair was continuously biting her nails to the bone, her mind spiralling. What am I gonna do? I can't let my parents know about this, otherwise they will literally kill me. Should I beg her? No, I don't want to beg that bitch.

Luna, who was reading her thoughts perfectly over the glowing blue system window, was shocked by how deep Blair’s hatred ran.

[Current Thinking: What should I do? Should I put all the blame on him? Should I call Mr. Beth? Maybe he can help me out... but that old man will just cling to me again. Ahhh, what am I gonna do now?!]

Luna was completely dumbfounded by what she was reading. Unable to contain herself, she said out loud, “Some people can really do anything for their own selfish interests. Even crawl into the bed of an old, stingy man.”

Everyone in the room froze and stared straight at her. Blair’s head snapped up, her eyes wide with terror as she stared at Luna. How does she know that? What else does she know?!

Wow, there's even more to this story? Luna thought to herself, thoroughly enjoying the ability to read Blair's deepest secrets. What I thought about her and what she actually is... I should be seriously thankful to this system. Otherwise, she definitely would have destroyed me and my family.

Marina and Alice leaned in, eagerly asking Luna what she was talking about, but Luna just laughed it off and let it go.

Just then, the Dean and Miss Charlotte walked into the room. Right behind them was the Vice Principal, Mr. Beth. Luna glanced at Mr. Beth, then back at Blair’s pale face, and laughed silently. Marina and Alice were practically dying from curiosity.

The Dean sat heavily on a single sofa, while Miss Charlotte and Mr. Beth stood directly behind him. The students lined up in front of the desk.

“What on earth did I listen to this morning?” the Dean demanded, knocking hard on the side arm of the sofa. “Is this a college or a drama studio? If you have personal problems, you solve them among yourselves, you do not let the entire student body listen to it.”

He pointed a finger at the three girls. “Luna, Marina, and Alice, I am going to call your parents to my office and speak with them myself.”

Then, his gaze hardened as he looked at the other two. “Jax and Blair. First of all, you two committed adultery, and now the entire college knows about it. Other students' parents are going to make my life hard. Both of you are suspended. No one is going to listen to your pleas. Now, get out.”

Blair quickly shot a desperate look at Mr. Beth, but the Vice Principal immediately looked away, completely ignoring her. Hearing the harsh verdict, Jax’s knees buckled. He kneeled straight down on the floor in front of the Dean, begging, “Please, don't do this to me!”

The Dean looked down at him with pure disgust. “You should have thought about that before doing this act. You should be grateful I didn't kick you out of the college permanently. Her father is already calling me, demanding to get you both out of the college. Ungrateful idiot.”

With that, the Dean stood up and walked away, leaving Jax kneeling helplessly on the floor.

As Luna turned around to leave, her eyes caught Blair's system screen one last time.

[Name: Blair Liam]

[Favorability: Uncountable Hate]

[Current Thinking: I swear, Luna, the exact humiliation I am feeling right now, I will take it back ten times harder. I will destroy your so-called family that you love to show off, and all your wealth. I'll make sure it's rolled right under my feet. You are absolutely finished.]

Blair glared continuously at Luna, her eyes burning with malice, before aggressively slamming her shoulder against Luna's as she stormed out of the office.

Luna stood there, lost in thought. Seriously, this girl is so unbearable. What should I even do with her? I'm going to get poked just by looking at her face.

When she finally turned around to leave, she realized Alice and Marina were already gone. They left me behind, she thought with a heavy sigh.

She stepped forward to head back to her classroom, but as she turned the corner, someone collided heavily with her. The impact sent Luna flying backward, landing hard on the ground right on her butt.

“Ahh! What are you doing? Are you blind?!” she snapped angrily.

Standing directly in front of her was a strikingly handsome young man. He was dressed in a sharp, formal black suit paired with a grey shirt, boasting the powerful, ideal build of a model. He stood there as solid as a rock, completely unfazed by the crash.

Luna scrambled to her feet, but as she looked up at him, she noticed something bizarre. There was absolutely no glowing window floating above his head.

Why isn't his window appearing? Window, window, why can't I see his text? she urgently questioned the system in her mind.

A red error screen flashed in her vision.

[System is undergoing an error]

[There's no data available right now]

[WARNING: You should be careful of him]

Luna felt a sudden wave of fear, mixed with intense curiosity. Who is he?

The young man looked down at her coldly, his gaze making her feel like a mere bug he was completely willing to crush under his shoe. “Can you move aside?” he said, his voice smooth but freezing.

“You should say sorry before going!" Luna demanded, stepping right into his path. "Didn't you see me standing here? Or did you do this deliberately?!”

Without a single word or even a glance in her direction, the man simply bypassed her and walked away.

“What?! Wait, you sneaky idiot!”

She tried to turn around and follow him, but the campus bell suddenly rang out loudly.

Ding... Dong.

I'll be late for class, Luna realized, gritting her teeth. Fine. I'll see you later. Turning away from the mysterious stranger, she quickly walked back toward her lecture hall.
