Anyone in Number One's place would at least try to explain themselves and prove their innocence but not him. He didn't even check on Luna and simply walked into the Academy under everyone's gaze.

"Miss Luna, are you okay?! Did he injure you? Should we call for help?"

The worried students bombarded Luna with questions but she didn't pay them attention either. Her gaze was glued to Number One's back and she rushed after him with the healing pill in her palm. The damage she caused was enough to kill him if not treated, so helping him recover was the only thing on her mind.

"Miss Luna! What happened?!"

"Number One, did you two fight?!"

Their looks gathered even more attention when they appeared in the Academy Plaza where one could collect their student badge. Their hair was all messy while their clothes were covered in blood so it wasn't surprising to cause a scene.

Luna finally caught Number One near the back of the queue and grabbed his shoulder to turn him around. "Take the pill. You will bleed out if you remain stubborn."

"I told you not to approach me," Number One replied coldly while shrugging her hand away. "I wasn't deeply injured and I'm already fine. Leave me alone."

"What do you mean fine?!" Luna shouted in annoyance and crouched down with her face in his thighs. "Just look at it! You have a big—"

Luna ripped the hole in his pants to expose his lies only to freeze in shock.

There was no wound!

Luna grabbed his thigh firmly and started rubbing his skin to confirm it but besides being wet from blood, Number One was completely fine. She immediately thought he took his own healing pill while she wasn't watching but that's still impossible. An open wound like that wouldn't heal in a matter of seconds no matter what pill he ate.

Number One didn't give her time to figure out the mystery and grasped her hair with a firm hold. "I don't know where you heard it is big but if you want to check it out, you are looking in the wrong place."

Luna looked up as if she didn't understand him only to get enlightened when he jerked her face right in front of his crotch. "Here, what you are looking for is in this area. If you ask nicely I can show you later."

"Fuck you!" Luna cursed at him with reddened cheeks. She aimed to punch him but he was quick to let go of her and jump away.

"If you are messing with me, I will mess with you too," Number One pointed out and decided to skip the queue. He walked away towards the front while leaving Luna in the middle of all stares.

There wasn't a single person in the plaza that wasn't looking at them.

"Ugh!" Luna grunted and quickly got up to chase after him. She was already at the center of attention so she didn't have anything to lose.

Even when there was a long queue, no one dared to say anything when Number One and Luna approached the Academy Official's desk without waiting in line. Miss Ava didn't seem to mind either as she had two badges prepared for the top students.

"Remember that fighting is only allowed inside the Academy Arena. If you have any conflicts, you can resolve it there," Miss Ava reminded with a smile while checking Number One's body for any injuries. "The Student Badge is actually a key to your dorm room and you can also use it to collect your Academy Uniform. It is best you change before you attend your first class."

The sight of blood on clothes wasn't anything new in the Academy so as long as they seemed fine, Miss Ava didn't need to say anything else.

"Don't worry, Miss Ava, there is no more conflict between us," Number One assured as he took the badge from Miss Ava's hand before returning a smile. "You look even more beautiful today. Thank you for your hard work."

Miss Ava blushed momentarily and brushed her long blond hair as if showing off for him. "Oh, stop it... I'm just doing my job and you are a handsome man yourself."

Number One chuckled and winked as he walked away, "Hope to see you soon Miss Ava."

Luna couldn't help but cringe at Number One flirting. It dampened her mood further and all she wanted was to punch him. It was the first time she met someone who could irritate her so easily while at the same time motivating her to chase after him. She collected her badge with a simple nod and followed Number One again but she has already lost her last chance for some alone time with him.

"Number One! Are you okay? Did she really attack you?"

"My mother is a doctor. I can help check on your wounds!"

"Number One, tell us what happened! We will always support you!"

Multiple teen girls scrambled around Number One on his way to the Academy Building as if they were waiting for him to arrive. Even if Luna wanted to talk about his disappearing injury, she had to wait till later.

"Tsk…" Luna snickered at that view and sped up her pace to overtake them. "Don't bother talking to him. He is not going to entertain you."

Contrary to her expectations, Number One suddenly embraced the waists of two nearby beauties and invited them with a pitiful smile, "How about you all accompany me to collect our uniforms? I'm not in a very good mood but maybe you can cheer me up."

"Absolutely!" the ladies agreed immediately and only smirked at the speechless Luna. "Maybe he just doesn't like you. Didn't think about that, huh?"

Seeing how Number One flipped his attitude at her comment, Luna was sure he was doing it on purpose. It didn't sting less after realizing the truth but rather the opposite— she hated it.

Luna acted like that doesn't bother her but the more fun they had on the way, the harder it was to hold back her emotions. She wanted to know why only her. Why was she the only one he treated coldly?

The moment they were finally alone on the floor only reserved for the top class, Luna stopped him and spilled her thoughts. "You clearly don't mind being friends with everyone else. Why am I the only one different?"

"There is no point. Someone like you is not going to understand anyway," Number One replied as he tried to enter his room but Luna followed him inside and closed the door behind her.

"What do you mean someone like me?" Luna questioned. "How can you know if you didn't even try to explain it."

Number One ignored her as he stripped from his bloody hoodie and threw it on the floor. "Close the door after you leave."

"No!" Luna cried out stubbornly and pushed him onto the bed in a fit of anger. She pounced on him like a tiger and grasped onto his shirt with a determined look in her eyes. "I'm not letting go until you tell me!"

Number One sighed helplessly and finally gave in. "Fine. I will tell you."
