Chapter 2 : The Fight

The news that the school bully Arthur, who could take on five people at once, had transferred to Elegance High spread throughout the school in just a few minutes. The school forum exploded with curiosity, everyone wondering if the rumored bully was super handsome. The answer was that he wasn''t just handsome, he was incredibly cute, cute to the point of explosion.

Arthur was walking with Zayne through the maple forest on campus. Zayne asked, "Arthur, I heard about your fight. What was it about? I don''t think you''d start a fight for no reason."

Arthur, stepping on the fallen leaves and listening to their crisp sound, said indifferently, "Nothing much, they just deserved it."

Zayne looked at the boy who was the same as before. He knew Arthur wasn''t the type to act impulsively. Seeing that Arthur didn''t want to talk about it, he said, "It''s okay. You can tell me when you''re ready. Arthur, we''ll always be friends."

Arthur looked up at Zayne''s serious face, hooked his arm around his neck, and said, "Alright, Zayne, let''s head back to class."

Zayne tried to break free but found that Arthur was too strong, so he gave up. Along the way, everyone cast curious glances at Arthur. He was used to it, just like at his old school, and didn''t care.

Just as they were about to reach their class, a guy from the neighboring class blocked Arthur''s way. "Arthur, the school bully from One High?"

Arthur ignored him and tried to walk around, but the guy had a few lackeys block their path.

The guy, looking at Arthur with a smirk, said, "You look so good, you probably don''t fight, right? Do you know who I am? Why don''t you follow me? I guarantee no one will bully you at Elegance." As he spoke, he put his hand on Arthur''s shoulder.

Arthur looked at him amusedly, "Who are you?"

The guy was a bit taken aback. Was his reputation as the school bully at Elegance not well-known? Even if only the younger students believed it.

"Elegance''s school bully, Liam Brown. You don''t know me? Are you that ignorant?"

More and more people gathered to watch. Arthur blinked his big eyes and said arrogantly, "Sorry, I don''t remember the names of trash." As he spoke, he brushed Liam''s hand off.

Hearing Arthur belittle him in front of so many people, Liam was a bit embarrassed and angry. He said, "You think you''re something special? You almost got screwed, didn''t you?"

"You hit a few of my brothers, damn it. Who do you think you are, you piece of shit?"

Hearing Liam bring up that not-so-glorious incident, Arthur''s face instantly darkened, and he clenched his fists. "Say that again, I dare you."

Seeing the tension between Arthur and Liam, some classmates from Class 1 were worried Arthur might get bullied, given how gentle he usually was. They quickly went to inform others, "Arthur and Liam from Class 2 are about to fight! Can anyone help stop them?"

At this moment, everyone''s eyes turned to Leonard like searchlights. Although their class didn''t officially elect a class leader, the best student naturally held the most respect. Leonard''s authority was unquestionable, making him the obvious choice for the role of "peace ambassador."

Seeing the expectant looks from everyone, Lucas nudged Leonard. "Leonard, can you really stand by and watch our classmate get bullied? Especially your deskmate? Especially such a cute little guy?"

Leonard sighed and reluctantly stepped out, with Lucas following to watch the drama unfold. As Leonard squeezed through the crowd, he heard Liam''s trembling voice, "Fuck, how many times do I have to say it? Arthur, you''re just a slut, you deserve it. Am I wrong?"

Arthur, hearing Liam''s unrepentant attitude, grabbed a chair from the back door and smashed it over Liam. The chair shattered into pieces. Liam felt a wave of pain. "Fuck, Arthur, are you addicted to this?"

Arthur''s rage was palpable. He picked up a longer piece of wood and started hitting Liam. "Damn it, you want to end up in the hospital? Want me to send you there?"

Seeing Arthur''s hand bleeding from the broken chair, Leonard walked over and snatched the stick from his hand. "Your hand is bleeding. Stop it."

Whether intentionally or not, Leonard threw the stick hard at Liam. Liam was stunned. "Damn it, Leonard, are you an idiot too?"

Leonard, with a cold expression, said to Liam, "Get back to your class. Stop embarrassing yourself here." Then he pulled Arthur away.

Arthur resisted, but Leonard firmly held his hand and led him out. Seeing Arthur''s face smeared with blood and Leonard''s stern expression, everyone made way for them.

Lucas thought, "Damn, they look so good together. Leonard actually stepped in and held his hand. Interesting." The surrounding onlookers had similar thoughts.

"Leonard is so manly. They look great together."

"Yeah, yeah, check the forums. Someone''s definitely writing about this."

On the way.

Leonard said, "Let''s go to the infirmary."

Arthur found it amusing. "This little injury isn''t worth a trip to the infirmary. Ridiculous." He tried to shake off Leonard''s hand, but Leonard''s grip was too strong.

Realizing he couldn''t overpower Leonard, Arthur switched tactics. "Leonard, let go of me. I don''t need your help."

Instead of letting go, Leonard tightened his grip. "You want to go back and fight? If I don''t stop you, are you planning to kill Liam?"

Hearing Liam''s name, Arthur exploded like a firecracker. "Damn it, does he have a mouth for anything else?" Thinking about Liam bringing up his embarrassing past made him want to hit him again.

Leonard said, "You''re a member of Class 1 now. Pay attention to our class''s image. Do you think I want to deal with you? The classmates are worried you''ll get bullied."

That hit a nerve. "Me, get bullied? I could take on ten Liams and still win."

Leonard noticed a few drops of blood on Arthur''s delicate face, adding a certain allure. Without thinking much, he took out his handkerchief and handed it to him. "Wipe your face, there''s some blood on it."

Thinking about Leonard''s words, Arthur refused to take it and cheekily said, "With my handsome face, even if I rubbed it on the ground, I''d still be the best-looking. A few drops of blood just make me look cooler."

Leonard pulled Arthur over and started wiping his face. "Stop being so cocky, will you? If you don''t clean it up, how are you going to explain it to the school nurse? She''ll definitely report it to Ms. Vanderbilt if she sees blood on your face. Do you want to end up in the office?"

As Leonard wiped his face, Arthur noticed Leonard was taller, with a fair and clean complexion, but his lack of expression made him seem a bit cold. His sharp features added to his distant demeanor.

Leonard sensed Arthur''s gaze. "What? Falling for me?" Arthur pushed Leonard away. "Pfft, as if I''d fall for you. Anyone who does must be blind." He said disdainfully, though a faint blush appeared on his face.

The school nurse, a young Beta, quickly disinfected Arthur''s wound and gave him some antibiotics. "Remember, don''t get it wet and change the dressing frequently."

Seeing the injured boy with another boy standing beside him, the nurse thought, "He must be his boyfriend, staying with him for such a small injury."

The nurse winked at Arthur. "Your boyfriend is quite handsome and considerate. You have good taste."

Hearing the nurse call Leonard his boyfriend, Arthur reacted as if he had been gravely insulted. "Please, he''s not my boyfriend." He said, walking out and completely forgetting the medicine the nurse had given him.

Leonard sighed and followed him with the medicine.
