The next day, Gray found himself cornered again—not by enemies, but by students.
Ten of them stood proudly before him, bowing.
"Boss Gray! Please let us follow you!"
Gray nearly dropped his lunch. "Eh?! No way, no way! I can't even lead myself to class on time!"
Riku nudged him. "Gray, maybe you should accept. You can't run from this forever."
Gray groaned. "But I don't even know how to fight!"
One student looked at him with shining eyes. "Boss… you don't need to fight. You already taught us the true meaning of strength!"
Gray blinked. "…I did? When?"
"When you said, 'If you're tired, sleep. If you're hungry, eat!'"
Gray facepalmed. Why are idiots worshipping my idiocy?
But the decision was made.
By the end of the day, Gray officially had his first gang of ten followers.
And so, the weakest boy in Nowhere High was no longer alone—he was accidentally becoming a king.
