Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty

"Prince Gavin used to be nothing special aside from his good looks. Many people thought he'd end up just living off someone else in the future," one person remarked.

"But, ten days ago, something changed. Some thugs who tried to shake him down for protection fees got beat up and sent to the hospital."

"I ran into him yesterday. He's so cold and distant, but this version of him is much cooler than the coward he used to be! I'm totally into it!"

"Exactly! I used to like Prince Bryce more. But after seeing Prince Gavin yesterday, I fell for him!"

"Now that you mention it, I think it might be him."

"Should we tell ma'am?"

"No way! She asked us to give her a list, which means there are probably more guys like him. She would think we didn't do our job properly if we just gave her a name." Andrew interrupted them. "That sounds right."

"What should we do, Andrew?"

"We should split up and investigate. After school tomorrow, we'll gather all the names we've found and give the list to her." Andrew came to a decision and then started assigning tasks to the other student council members. "You, and you, take care of the freshmen. You two handle the seniors..."

...

Bryce waited for Yolanda by the entrance after school.

He quickly walked toward her as she came out of the building.

"Yolanda, I'm free today. I can walk home with you."

Bryce always attracted attention from the girls wherever he went, and they seethed with jealousy when they saw him waiting to walk Yolanda home.

Yolanda ignored their stares and walked out of school with Bryce.

She had suspected that Bryce was the person she was looking for, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

Even though Bryce was kind to her, she didn't sense a familiar connection to him. Her intuition told her he wasn't the one.

After they left the school grounds,

they walked along the main road for

two blocks, then turned into a

nearby alley. It was the quickest route

the subway station. Injust

two days, Yolanda had already memorized all the routes around the area.

"It's been two days. How are you settling in so far?" Bryce asked, breaking the silence. "It's fine."

"Feel free to ask me if you need help with your studies."

Bryce knew Yolanda didn't finish junior high, so keeping up at First Academy might be tough.

He never believed the rumors that painted Yolanda in a bad light. In fact, he thought she was quite smart. However, her difficult family situation had eroded her confidence, pushing her to give up on herself. Now, Bryce felt confident that

Yolanda would bounce back.

"By the way, I still have my notes from my first year. If you need them, I can bring them tomorrow."

"There's no need," Yolanda replied coolly.

"You don't have to be so polite with me."

Bryce insisted, thinking Yolanda didn't want to trouble him.

"Those notes are just collecting dust anyway."

He was speaking to Yolanda, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that some people were blocking the path ahead.

He turned around to see a few thugs
