Chapter 161: Chaos in Classroom

Soon, he found himself standing in front of the classroom door again.

 This time, no one stopped him. No surprise greetings. No ominous warnings.

 Smooth sailing.

He pushed open the door, half-expecting to sneak in quietly.

Instead—

 Silence.

A sudden hush fell over the entire room. Every student turned their head toward him in perfect sync, eyes wide like they'd just spotted a national treasure walking through the door.

He froze mid-step.

"…Huh?"

His eyes darted around the room.

 'What the hell just happened? Did I step into the wrong class?'

 He glanced at the number above the door. Nope, this was the right one.

 'Then what's with the stares? What did I do now?'

Just as he was trying to process the room's weird silence, one of his bad friends trotted over with a grin and immediately slung an arm around Rex's neck—then tightened it like a noose.
