Bab 171: Meeting Vera

[How long is it going to take you to make a move on her?] Hela asked.

"Who?" Kan asked.

[You know who it is. Why play dumb? You could have easily kissed her the night before but instead you offered to teach her a secret handshake! You are slowly inching towards the friendzone!!] Hela warned.

To this, Kan didn't give a response. The next day had arrived and same occurrence repeated itself. By the entrance, Kan found the Ebony kings waiting at the entrance once more.

Undeterred by the looming confrontation, Kan steeled himself for whatever awaited. "If they want to fight once more, I'm ready. I don't care about their numbers," he declared defiantly, quickening his pace, prepared to face head-on whatever challenges lay in his path.

Approaching the school gate, Kan chose not to immediately confront the gang. Instead, he opted to feign forgetfulness about the recent events, walking past them with a casual air.
