Ollie finally saw his newly minted brother and couldn’t help but inspect him for all his limbs and appendages.
"Hey! Are you alright? I’ve been hearing so many conflicting stories that I had to see if you’re still whole by now!" Ollie whispered, lowering his voice in fear of attracting even more attention.
"?"
On the other hand, Luca, who wasn’t sure what Ollie was talking about, could only tilt his head in question.
"I’m fine. I think?" With the way he looked at him, even Luca doubted whether he was supposed to be okay.
"I heard you defeated that arrogant guy who challenged you?"
"Not sure if you call that defeat, but I didn’t lose." Luca shrugged while mimicking Ollie’s sneaky way of speaking.
"But brother, what’s more important is what happened when you were sent to the infirmary! Are you in trouble? Do you need help?"
Ollie had been worried since he saw the photos and videos circulating in the school forum.
Because, unlike the others who had a skewed view of Luca, Ollie knew that this guy was more like a little puppy than a vicious hound.
Like, look at him?!
Even he, who was scrawny, looked like a lumbering macho (not) when compared to this guy!
Ollie had so many scenarios in his head and was wondering how he could help defeat the school’s real Top 1 when he couldn’t even get his shit together in the morning.
But who else would help Luca if not for him? They were sworn brothers, after all!
He waited with bated breath, his mind still remembering the scene captured from different angles. Until Luca asked, "Huh? Why would I be in trouble? Maybe I was too tired and fainted."
"What? Didn’t you fight it out with the school’s top student?!" Ollie’s voice raised an octave, and he had to stifle his own mouth.
But that didn’t really help when many have already tuned in on their conversation.
The people of their Academy weren’t even normal to begin with, so what did he expect about their hearing?
"No, we didn’t. I actually bumped into him because I was running to the cafeteria without looking! But then I kind of got dizzy when I realized what happened."
Luca lied through his mouth, but technically, that was just a partial lie. He bumped into a solid wall that was apparently Xavier’s chest.
If these people experienced the same thing, they’d understand why his head spun.
Meanwhile, the onlookers, especially the women who were just now pretending to eat, caught keywords, locking onto specific words that made them swoon.
So, Xavier’s chest was that solid? It must’ve been as chiseled as the rumors!
You heard him, right? It seems like he was held like that to keep him from falling.
Slowly but surely, several hands were skillfully and covertly sending out messages about the sweet encounter between a top student and a clumsy but cute classmate.
They clearly forgot how he was strewn over like a sack of potatoes as the top student ran with him in tow. But who would listen, right?
While everyone else was unaware of this very covert yet hot take on his trip to the infirmary, Luca was still confused about how some students were given the right to miss classes.
Ollie could only sigh before explaining, "They’re allowed to exchange mission hours and achievements for class hours." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
