The next morning at Nova High was unusually noisy.
Students were whispering everywhere.
"Did you hear?"
"The Queen was walking with that powerless guy yesterday."
"No way…"
"Why would Zara talk to him?"
Kai sighed as he walked through the school gate.
Great… now everyone is talking about it.
As he entered the hallway, many students stared at him.
Some looked confused.
Others looked jealous.
Kai scratched his head.
"I didn't do anything…"
Suddenly, a voice called out.
"Kai!"
He turned around.
It was Leo, the boy with super speed from his class.
Leo ran toward him quickly.
"Dude! Is it true?" Leo asked excitedly.
Kai blinked. "What?"
"You and Queen Zara!" Leo whispered loudly. "People are saying you two walked home together!"
Kai shook his head.
"It's not like that."
Before Leo could ask more questions—
The hallway suddenly became silent again.
Kai already knew why.
Zara had arrived.
She walked through the hallway confidently, flames flickering lightly around her hand.
Students quickly moved aside.
The Queen's eyes scanned the hallway.
Then she spotted Kai.
And walked directly toward him.
Students nearby were shocked.
Leo stepped back immediately.
"I'm not getting involved in this," he whispered.
Zara stopped in front of Kai.
"Kai," she said calmly.
Kai sighed.
"Morning, Zara."
She looked at him for a moment before speaking.
"Come to the training arena after school."
Kai frowned.
"Why?"
Zara's eyes were serious.
"Because I want to see something."
Kai had a bad feeling about this.
Because when the Queen of Nova High wanted to see something…
It usually meant a fight.
