(Bonus chapter) Lukas at his school days

"Hey, hey, do you see that guy over there?"

At some random school, a group of girls gathered together talking.

One girl mentioned a boy that caught everyone else's attention.

"Who?"

"That red-haired guy!"

"What? You mean Lukas Ying?"

All the girls turned to look at the boy sitting by himself, sleeping soundly.

Lukas Ying was incredibly popular at the school, partly because his good looks made every other boy seem like a joke.

The other reason was his stupidity.

I mean, how could he not know how to do 1+1 in math class?

Because of this, people gave him the nickname "the handsome dog."

At this moment, a blonde girl with twin braids tied with red ribbons and green eyes stared at Lukas for a while before deciding.

"Hey, I want to try something~"

The others were surprised and looked at their leader.

Her name was Elith, the daughter of the president of a massive company.

Because of that, she had a lot of power, and everyone was afraid of her.

She was also very arrogant and bullied others often.

A total brat.

Elith stood up and walked over to Lukas.

"Hey, loser, go buy me some milk."

Lukas, who was asleep, was suddenly woken up by the girl standing in front of him.

"Uh... are you talking to me?"

"Who else, idiot? Or is this the first time a pretty girl has talked to you? How pathetic~"

She covered her mouth and mocked him.

Unfortunately for her, the person she was mocking thought very differently from normal people.

'If she's talking to me like that... does that mean she wants to be my friend?!'

Oh yes, Lukas wanted friends, but his brain worked so differently that no one played with him.

"What kind of milk do you want?" Lukas stood up, his bright blue eyes looking at her excitedly.

"Oho~ you're so eager. Are you in love with me~?" Elith looked at Lukas disdainfully.

What a joke, this guy was no different from the other men.

"Milk?" Lukas asked again.

"Hmph... in that case, buy me strawberry milk."

"Money?"

"Huh? You use your own money to buy it."

Lukas felt a bit troubled by this. He remembered bringing money but wasn't sure where he put it...

Oh, right!

Elith, confused by Lukas' actions, suddenly blushed.

"W-WHAT THE?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!"

"I'm looking for money!"

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MONEY IN YOUR UNDERWEAR, PUT THAT BACK ON!!"

"But you told me to use my own money to buy you milk, so I have to listen."

"JUST STOP! HERE, TAKE THIS MONEY AND LEAVE!!"

"Okay! I'll buy you the best strawberry milk here!"

Lukas happily walked out of the classroom, leaving Elith collapsing with a bright red face.

"Um... are you okay?" The group of girls came over to ask.

"DO I LOOK OKAY?!" Elith glared at them furiously.

"Definitely not," said the tanned girl.

"...why are you saying that like it's obvious?" Elith looked at them suspiciously.

"Because we tried to bully him before, and what we got was even worse than you."

"...huh?"

"But lucky for him, he has a six-pack like a Roman statue! Flawless!" The girls started drooling, recalling that scene.

...traitors!

Elith looked in the direction Lukas had gone and made up her mind that she would make him regret this.

***

It was PE class, and all the students were in their sports uniforms. The boys, of course, were sneaking glances at the girls' outfits.

"Ugh, boys never change," Elith muttered disdainfully as she searched for Lukas and spotted him.

He was squatting by himself, poking at an ant with a stick like a loner.

Seeing this, Elith seized the opportunity and approached Lukas.

"Hey~ Why are you sitting all by yourself? Or is it because you have no friends or something? That's pretty pathetic for someone with your face," Elith mocked him, hoping to provoke some anger.

But she didn't expect Lukas to respond differently.

"AH! Elith! I'm playing with ants. They're working so hard, so I wanted to squat here and watch their progress. Man, it's so chill!"

Yes, the less someone thinks, the more carefree and joyfully they live.

Elith stood frozen, staring at Lukas grinning like a dog. Was there really someone this stupid?

"Tch, whatever. Our class will play dodgeball soon. I can't wait to see your terrible performance~"

"Ahaha! I'll show you what I'm best at!"

'Yeah, keep laughing. I want to see how long that smile lasts,' Elith thought to herself, completely looking down on Lukas.

When the PE teacher blew the whistle, the dodgeball game began.

Elith smiled, knowing she had bribed Lukas' teammates to make sure they'd lose. That way, she could see how pathetic Lukas truly was.

And, just as expected, his teammates deliberately lost, leaving only Lukas standing.

A handsome boy with orange hair (though not as handsome as Lukas) glared at Lukas with hostility.

He had been considered the most attractive guy in the school until Lukas came along.

That infuriated him, so he was determined to make this fool in front of him suffer the most humiliating defeat ever!

"Die!!" The orange-haired boy hurled the ball straight at Lukas.

Lukas casually caught the ball and threw it back at him, hitting his face with a speed faster than a bullet.

...Huh?

The orange-haired boy's teammates looked confused as they watched Lukas, who was still smiling innocently. Elith, on the other hand, was so shocked she turned to stone.

The game continued, with Lukas hitting every shot and blocking all incoming balls effortlessly.

Now, only one person remained on the opposing team.

Elith was furious and couldn't accept this! She started devising another plan, determined to humiliate Lukas no matter what.

But in the midst of her scheming, she didn't notice the last player missing his throw—sending the ball flying straight toward her.

"Eh?"

The ball smacked her in the face, knocking her to the ground with a swollen head.

"Elith!!" Lukas shouted as he rushed over to her.

Everyone gathered around to check if Elith was okay.

Seeing her unconscious, Lukas began thinking as hard as he could and remembered something his late mother had once told him.

"My son, if a girl is sleeping, you should kiss her."

Wait, was unconsciousness the same as sleeping?

Oh well!

Lukas ripped off his shirt, leaving everyone confused.

He wrapped the shirt around Elith's swollen head and then kissed her.

...Huh?

Since Lukas didn't know how to kiss, he just pressed his lips against hers for a long, awkward moment.

'Why are my lips wet?'

Elith slowly tried to open her eyes, seeing a blurry figure extremely close to her.

Huh?!

Once she realized, she was kissing a boy!

And that boy was none other than that jerk, Lukas!!

Her face turned completely red as she tried to push Lukas away, but he kept on kissing her, making her more and more overwhelmed.

When Lukas finally noticed Elith waking up, he stopped immediately.

"Does it still hurt?! Are you okay?! Do you need me to take you to the nurse?! Hey, teacher! Call an ambulance, quick!!"

"STOP IT, YOU PERVERT!!!" Elith screamed, landing a punch straight into Lukas' jaw.

Lukas, confused, looked at Elith, who was now furious.

"DAMN IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! WHY DID YOU K-KISS ME?! YOU JERK, I WISH YOU WOULD JUST DIE!!! I WON'T ACCEPT SOMEONE LIKE YOU!!!" Elith stomped her feet, cursed at him, and ran away.

Lukas stood there, still baffled, while the other students gawked at him in shock.

"...That was kinda romantic," one girl blushed as she whispered to another.

"Yeah."

And so, Lukas, once known as the "handsome dog," was now being called the "Prince of PE."

As for Elith? After school, when it was already night, she could hardly sleep.

Every time she closed her eyes, she would recall that red hair, that gentle face, that perfect body, and... t-that kiss.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" Elith refused to accept it, but the more she resisted, the more she thought about Lukas.

She banged her head on her desk to calm herself down—and surprisingly, it worked!

She happily drifted off to sleep, even as the bloodstain remained on the desk...

The next morning, she woke up feeling... wet down there.

...I hate you, Lukas.

*****

This is a bonus chapter, where whenever I'm bored, I decide to create a chapter for fun!

If you're curious whether Elith will return or not, the answer is yes! She will appear at some point!

And Lukas, before graduating, was originally a clueless, naive guy who trusted others easily (a typical harem protagonist, my dear readers~).
