By the next morning, Gray's life had completely changed.
He walked into school half-asleep, sandwich in hand, yawning.Yet the halls fell silent as he passed. Students whispered, eyes wide with respect and fear.
"They say Gray can take down a guy with one hit.""I heard he's a secret martial arts master.""No, no—he's a genius tactician who hides his true power."
Gray blinked, confused. "Why is everyone staring at me? Do I have toothpaste on my face again?"
Riku rushed up, sweating. "Gray! Don't you get it? After yesterday, everyone thinks you're some kind of gang boss!"
Gray choked on his sandwich. "WHAT?! But I can't even do a push-up without crying!"
At that moment, a group of delinquents blocked his path.
"You're Gray Aster, right?" the leader asked, lowering his voice. "Join us. We want to serve under you."
Gray's jaw dropped. "…Join you? But I barely joined the lunch line yesterday without tripping."
The delinquents bowed. "Please, Boss Gray!"
Gray's sandwich fell to the floor.
And just like that, the weakest boy in Nowhere High became its most feared leader.
