Joshua Thompson seemed a bit incredulous and looked more closely.
Then, he was taken aback.
Isn't that his cousin!
This is Apex University, the best university in Veridia Province and one of the top-ranked in all of Arcadia. His cousin was expelled in the second year of high school for fighting and couldn't even get into college. How could he possibly be here?
Seeing him a bit dazed, the girl beside him asked, "Joshua, what's wrong?"
Joshua Thompson replied, "Ran into someone I know!"
Then, he walked towards me and called out, "Hey! Isn't this my cousin! How are you here?"
His expression was somewhat playful, with a hint of mockery in his voice.
He really couldn't stand this cousin. In elementary and middle school, this cousin's grades were always better than his, steadily overshadowing him, often becoming the talk of the village.
This really annoyed him.
Later, when Charlie was expelled from high school for fighting, he was overjoyed.
