The next morning at Nova High was surprisingly calm.
No whispers.
No rumors.
No students talking about Kai.
Everything felt… normal.
Kai walked through the school gate with his hands in his pockets.
Finally, he thought.
For the first time since arriving at Nova High, no one was staring at him.
Students were busy with their own conversations about rankings, fights, and classes.
Kai entered the hallway and headed toward his classroom.
Leo suddenly ran up to him again.
"Hey, Kai!"
Kai looked at him.
"What's up?"
Leo scratched his head.
"Nothing crazy today. No fights, no drama."
Kai smiled slightly.
"That's good, right?"
Leo laughed.
"Not at this school. Nova High is never that quiet."
Kai sat down at his desk when class started.
The teacher began explaining the lesson like usual.
Outside the window, the training arena stood empty.
Everything looked peaceful.
But somewhere else in the school…
Inside a private room reserved only for the Top Ten…
Axel sat at the head of a large table.
Zara stood near the window, looking outside.
Another Top Ten member spoke first.
"That boy… Kai."
Axel leaned back in his chair.
"What about him?"
"He's strange."
Axel was quiet for a moment.
Then he smirked slightly.
"Maybe."
Zara finally spoke.
"Keep watching him."
The room fell silent again.
Because even though the school felt calm today…
Some of the strongest students were already paying attention to Kai.
And at Nova High…
Being noticed by the powerful was never a good thing.
