Chapter 10

The very next day the classroom was like the usual, at the same time Daniel seems to be more quiet thinking about what happened yesterday. Reflecting on the words Vasco said to the assaulter.

"Hi Duke! Good Morning!" Zoe suddenly interrupts the quiet of his morning and was so close to him that he was surprised by her affectionate greeting.

"Ummm...Are you okay?" Duke asked with a concerning face.

"Yeah, I guess there's no such thing as a free launch. I gave all the money I made to his father. Except the commission…" Zoe replied while having a small smile and looking down on the ground in thought of her action.

Duke, despite knowing everything from the original webtoon, feels very happy for her growth, "Well I'm glad you have matured." Smiling at this silly girl. In the past she was very concerned about wealth and matters that only touch the surface. Now she can see beyond just that.

"Um...I'm wondering...What you're doing this weekend..Are you free?" Seeing her blushing and slightly fidgety as she spoke Duke can't help become speechless.

"You...Are you asking me on a date?" This only made her blushes more deeper.

Suddenly a voice broke the affectionate atmosphere, "Hello…" It was Yui. Her eyes seem a little different today, with a slight affection as she looks at Duke.

'Yui? What is she doing here? Is she trying to flirt with Duke?' Zoe's eyes mix with concern at her new rivalry.

"Hi Yui. What's up?" Duke didn't think much of her. She's prettier now, though he knows that she still hasn't grown from her old ways toward others.

"It's a handkerchief. I bought it for you. Duke." Yui reaches for a yellow striped handkerchief which she hands to Duke.

'Today I'm really speechless, two girls together? This will get really annoying.' Duke's eyes faze with confusion at the two girls who are approaching him today.

"I broke up with him. Thanks for the other day." Yui said with a tone of flirtatiousness.

Zack stares at Duke with envy at his fortune with the ladies. Only he and Daniel know what truly happened.

'WTF!? This bitch! She's trying to steal Duke from me,' thinks Zoe as she's staring electricity at Yui who's matching her fiery rivalry.

For the next month and a half Duke took notice to skip school for two months and half for 3 pro fights in America that was already scheduled. Additionally he had a concert to perform to popularize his new album.

Now his mission completion is teaching 89% meaning he's just one percentage away from standing on equal level to Eminem at his peak.

But that's not enough to just reach an equal standing. He has to exceed Eminem by a wider margin. The school allows Duke to do so because he prepared ahead of time by taking all the tests and exams necessary.

Moreover the school even encourages him to take breaks to do a concert. So it might also bring in some children with wealthy upbringing, And increase the school's reputation.

While in America the concert was a huge success and all the seats for the concert were sold out within the first day. Additionally Duke's boxing ranking is skyrocketing and will soon be reaching championship status. People are predicting that he will be the youngest middleweight world champion at age 16.

The fights are more like a one sided bullying than a fair fight, with his group of team assembled by Hong supporting him there was nothing able to stop him bull dozing them away. His longest fight didn't last more than 2 rounds, most of his opponents were knocked out in the first round.

Looking around this familiar place with his friends brings a more comfortable atmosphere than the loud stadiums. The teacher stands in the front to announce something, "We have a transfer student."

"Wow!" "Is it a guy?" "Is it a girl?"

"It's a girl," the teacher replies. "WEEEEE" screams the guys in the crowd.

A girl wearing a school uniform with a short height similar to Daniel's first body comes in to announce herself, "I'm Crystal Choi. Hello." She wears glasses and has an enormous size to her short height. "Nice to meet you."

The class suddenly went quiet before someone said, "Why would a girl like that come to our department?" "How cow!" "She's big hehe!" There were a lot of insulting commitments that annoyed Duke.

Crystal is like Daniel and has two bodies she can transfer her consciousness in her sleep. She knows that she doesn't belong to the cool group of girls like Mira, Yui, and Zoe:

"A transfer student!" Said Mira.

"Zoe! What does Duke like?" Asked Yui with interest.

"Ask him yourself," she replied with disdain at her rival.

Thinking she fits in more with the outcast of the classroom despite being a new student. Oblivious to the prejudices that are placed on her as though it already becomes a familiar kind of treatment for her.

As always things don't turn out that way with Daniel here, "Hi! I'm Daniel, I transferred here a few months ago too. We live in the same area. Nice to meet you." Daniel's introduction caused a disruption to the classroom.

"Gee Daniel is nice." "He's looking after her."

'Gotta respond simply,' she thinks to herself then responded, "Yeah...Thanks."

"So Danniel lives in that area." "Cool. He's living alone." That crowd chatter.

Zack also joined into the dispute, "You childish punks, don't make fun of her. How old are ya?" Duke grins at the changed Zack Lee, maybe it's because of what happened in the recent months he seemed a lot more mature.
