After the class was dismissed, Min-Li was preparing to follow Bai Lei when someone called out to him. "Song Min can you stay behind after class there are a few things I need to discuss with you." Sun Lei leaned against his desk as he motioned Min-Li over.

Sun Lei was the Lecturer for this particular class. A handsome Lawyer who also taught at the school by request of the principal. His neat swept-back blonde hair was a rare sight among the sea of black and brown hair. Leaving him very sought after among the student populace. It's too bad that if it wasn't for his cold steel grey eyes and fridged attitude Sun Lei would be more approachable. Most of his admirers observed from afar.

Even if Min-Li was irritated that his plans got interrupted, You wouldn't know it from the sweet smile gracing his face. Walking down towards the other Min-Li was also curious about what the other man wanted from him. Stopping in from of Sun Lei, Min-Li tilted his head and teasingly batted his lashes. "Yes, Teacher Lei?"

Not even phased Sun Lei, pulled up some papers from his desk and dropped them into Min-Li's hands. "Your grades have been dropping lately. At this rate, you won't be able to pass this class much less be qualified to participate in the Lawyer Apprenticeship program." Crossing his arms, Sun Lei continued. "If you can't keep up with this class then you can drop out. Although, If you really want this then I suggest you put more effort into your studies or find a competent tutor to improve your grades. "

Sifting through the pile of papers in his hands, Min-Li could see all the red pen marking up the paper. It seems Song Min was nothing but a Simple second Generation young master. The grades weren't what Min-Li was expecting since, in the plot, Song Min was one of the chosen students that were apart of the program.

Did Song Min get in by underhanded methods? Looking up Min-Li glanced at Sun Lei and instantly dismissed the thought that Song Min Bribed himself in. This Sun Lei wasn't someone easily swayed. Cheating perhaps? Song Min was very popular and flirty so that chance that he made someone else do that work was very likely. Could this be the reason Song Min was met with ruin?

Realizing He was quiet for too long, Min-Li packed the papers into his side satchel. Pretending to be worried, Min-Li bites his lip and tried his best to look pitiful. "I'm sorry Teacher, I just have been having a hard time settling into classes." Grasping Sun Lei's hand Min-Li Looked through his lashes and smiled. "I will take the Teacher's Advice and Look for a Tutor!"

Before He could take his hand back, Min-Li noticed a peculiar bracelet hidden in Sun Lei's wrist. A childish rope bracelet peaked out, Did Sun Lei have a kid? Noticing Min-Li's gaze, Sun Lei jerked his hand back looking startled. "I... see, As long as you understand. You are free to go now." He said hesitantly.

Beaming back at the Sun Lei, Min-Li Waved goodbye and left the Lecture room.

Left by himself in the room, Sun Lei Looked out the classroom window to see Song Min's retreating figure. Rubbing the hand that Song Min held, Sun Lei, sighed. His Hands were much more delicate then he thought.

Shaking his head, Sun Lei began to pack his bag to go see his cousin for Lunch.

......

Leaving the room, Min-Li summons his system. " System do you have any type of store?"

{Yes, would the host like to browse the Online store?}

Clicking yes, a medium-sized screen popped in from of Min-Li

{Online Store}

Browsing the store Min-Li swiped until he found out what he was looking for.

{ Memory Plus}

{Cost: 100 system points}

{The host will receive an increase in memory capacity that will allow the Host to study and remember things better}

{Added bonus effects- The more the host read's on a certain subject the easily the host will be able to understand certain concepts for added learning effects.}

Accepting, Min-Li felt the skill washing over his body.

Nodding his head in approval, Min-Li could already feel the effects of the skill beginning to work. His mind felt sharper. If cheating was the reason he was expelled then he would make sure not to give them a reason too. Though Min-Li doubted that since it was nothing this body's family couldn't handle with a little bit of money.

Continuing on his way Min-Li headed to the dining hall to grab some lunch since his original plans of talking with Bai Lei were interrupted. Walking by the courtyard, Min-Li Started to hear some voices near the outer edge of the school. Walking toward the secluded area, Min-Li could hear what the voices are saying.

"Think you're so good because you placed first in the rank exam? A commoner like you shouldn't have been accepted into this school. If you know what's good for you, you would drop out."

Peaking out from behind the corner Min-Li could see three other students ganging up on Bai Lei who was cornered against the wall.

"Yeah! There is no room for trash to be taking up space for elite people like us in the Lawyer apprenticeship program." Chimed one of the girls to the right.

"Teacher Lei shouldn't even have to waste his time with a commoner such as your self!" The girl on the left huffed out.

Bai Lei seemed to shrink at the mention of Sun Lei. Interesting, do they have any connection? They have the same last name but Lei is a pretty common name.

Feeling bad for the girl who looked like a kicked kitten, Min-Li stepped out from around the corner. " Bai Lei! There you are, Teacher Lei is looking for you!" Waving cheerfully to the shocked Group as he stepped forward. Min-Li Paused in his steps and gave a confused look, "Sorry was I interrupting something?"

The girl in the middle seemed to be the first girl to snap out of a daze as she stared as Min-Li. "No, no we.. were just giving some advice as a fellow student. Isn't that right Bai Lei? She said looking threatening at Bai Lei.

"Yes, They were.. just giving some advice." Bai Lei said looking at her shoes."

"I see, anyways Come on Bai Lei, we can't keep Teacher Lei waiting. He is a very busy man!" walking forward Min-Li latched onto Bai Lei's Arm and began to drag the girl away.

In a panic, the girl in the middle tried to stop them. "Song Min, you don't have to accompany her, I'm sure she can find the way." There was no way that she was going to let Bai Lei hang out with Song Min. Song Min was such an angel that trash like Bai Lei was sure to dirty Song Min.

"Eh? but Teacher Lei asked me to bring Bai Lei Saying it was urgent? I don't want to disappoint Teacher Lei but Thank you for your consideration though!" Smiling at them there three girls were left a blushing mess at the blinding smile as Min-Li brushed past them.

Dragging Bai Lei far enough away, Min-Li let her hand go. "Are you okay Bai Lei? They didn't hurt you did they?" Shocked Bai Lei Blushed at the amount of attention she was getting from Min-Li. Tugging at the bottom of her shirt Bai Lei Hesitantly spoke, "Teacher Lei didn't ask for me did he? I see Thank you Song Min, but It's probably better if you didn't get your self involved."

"Does This happen often? Isn't there anybody you could tell? Maybe Teacher Lei could help?" Min-Li said grabbed Bai Lei's hands that were picking at her shirt. Flinch in surprise Bai Lei shouted "Please anybody but Teacher Lei! I'm already a burden enough to him I couldn't bother him even more!"

Ho? It seems like they do know each other. They maybe they really are related? They don't look alike so maybe cousins perhaps? There seems to be more then meets the eyes.

Catching herself Bai Lei backed off and apologized. "I'm sorry could you keep this a secret?" Looking up with pleading eyes. Not wanting to blackmail the girl Min-Li would have to rope her another way in to get involved with her. What better way to bond than to have a secret between them.

"I will keep this a secret but on one condition." Bai Lei's face seems to fall a little at the mention of the condition but determined neither the less. "Be my friend! I think if we stick together there would be less chance for someone to bully you like before." Jaw dropping, Bai Lei was left speechless. She felt like she was truly was looking at an angel. With out-think bai Lei agreed almost in a trance.

Smiling Min-Li dug into his bag to look for his phone. "Lets exchange Numbers since we're friends now!" While "Looking for his phone" Min-Li made sure to show Song Min's Failing Grades.

Snapping out of her daze Bai Lei Noticed Song Min's awful test scores. Frowning Bai Lei stopped Min-Li's hands to see the test paper. "Sorry to ask but are you perhaps having trouble with class, I couldn't help but notice that most of your papers have failing grades."

Blushing Min-Li scratched the back of his head secretly amused inside. "Ah, yes Teacher Lei was just telling me that I would probably need a tutor or else I would have to drop out." frowning, Bai Lei turned serious. "This isn't something you can afford to brush off Song Min, Here how about this? I can tutor you and help you catch up in class."

Pleased with Bai Lei's answer, Min-Li Hummed in interest. Smiling Min-Li thanked Bai Lei and proceeded to trade phone numbers with the other girl before they separated. Biding each other goodbye as Min-Li walked away while Bai Lei just stood there in disbelief that one of the most popular kids in school wanted to be friends with her.

"Bai Lei, there you are! I have been looking all over for you." Turning her attention to the left, a tall silhouette emerged from the bushes. Sun Lei Stopped in front of Bai Lei and Seemed to notice her good mood. Giving a rare smile, Sun Lei curiously asked his cousin what got her in such a good mood.

Turning to her cousin, Bai Lei smiled.

"I think I just made a friend?"
