Keith's morning class had ended and it was now lunchtime. During class hours, his classmates seemed to have already set up a hierarchy and without a doubt, he was within the top ranks within the hierarchy.
He had already noticed that his popularity within his class was the highest among his classmates. It was all thanks to his <Supreme Beauty> talent that granted him high charisma.
Of course, if there was a positive, there was always a negative to make life more symmetrical.
Keith had noticed that one of his classmates that was second to him in appearance and body was having ill intent towards him. Since Keith didn't know his classmates of his other than the fact that he was second to him in the class hierarchy, he ignored them.
Seeing that the teacher had left the class, Keith went out of the classroom since it was already lunchtime. He didn't bother to mingle with his classmates as he headed to the school cafeteria.
While Keith was walking down the halls, his keen sense of hearing had heard a commotion within the boy's locker room.
'It must be the infamous bullying within these schools. Sigh, humans are still humans.'
Hearing the sound of ridicule of someone and a painful shrill of another, Keith had already guessed that a schoolmate of his must be bullied by another schoolmate.
Despite the hostile intent that he had received from a classmate of his before, none of his classmates dared to offend or bully him since he was already considered the alpha within his class.
That was why he didn't encounter any bullying on his first day of school. But it seemed that his schoolmate wasn't as lucky as him when it came to that problem.
Keith was already weighing his choices on whether he would enter the locker room and interfere with whatever was happening inside it or he should just mind his own business.
The former would bring him inconvenience in the future but the latter would allow him to have a peaceful school life. Or at least a peaceful school life until he became the school belle's boyfriend.
After all, becoming the boyfriend of the school's number-one beauty was the same as waging war against all males on campus.
'Sigh, trouble would come to me later on. Bringing trouble now or having it later would still result in experiencing trouble. Might as well help the poor lad in his school life.'
Deciding that he would interfere with the commotion inside the locker room which he had assumed was a case of bullying, Keith confidently strode towards the locker room and entered it gallantly.
Entering the locker room, his vision was replaced with the scene of three teenage boys who were assaulting a teenage boy whose appearance was quite familiar to Keith as if Keith had seen the bullied boy before.
From what Keith had noticed, the three teenage boys were older than him while the bullied boy was similar in age to him, or at least that was what he had deduced from their appearance as well as the uniform they were wearing.
It was a bullying scene where three seniors bullied a junior.
When Keith entered the locker room, the sound of his footsteps was heard by the four boys inside the locker room so the three seniors stopped assaulting the junior as soon as Keith made his presence known to them.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" (Senior 1)
"A boy whose appearance far surpassed ours." (Senior 2)
"Regardless of his appearance, he dared to interfere?" (Senior 3)
The three seniors spoke in a rising intonation, and their sentences were in sync as if they had rehearsed them before.
Keith was confused by the three seniors' actions and he had thought of them as weirdos. Well, until he had noticed that their school uniform belonged to the art department, the poetry department to be exact.
"Oh, are you confused by our demeanor?" (Senior 1)
"That shouldn't be what you should ask for. It should be: State your business here, peasant." (Senior 2)
"Or else we might do something unpleasant." (Senior 3)
Although the three of them were weirdos, they still managed to let out threatening words to Keith. But the most who was affected by the three senior's threats was the junior who was currently lying on the ground while holding his stomach in pain.
The junior was already affected by the three senior's actions so their threat filled his heart with fear. Not only that, he feared implicating his classmate with his own troubles.
Although Keith didn't fully recognize the appearance of the junior, the junior recognized his appearance. After all, the junior had already known that Keith was the most popular student in his class.
But since the junior was a nobody in class as well as the lowest in the class hierarchy, it was understandable why Keith had forgotten about his appearance.
Ignoring the junior, Keith focused his attention on the three seniors as he responded to their threat.
"Why should I?"
