"Hello, everyone. My- well, my english name is Alexander Kang, so you can call me that. I'll be joining you all starting today, so let's get along."

Kuoh Academy's class 2-B erupted into a frenzy after that polite introduction.

The class had just received a new transfer student. And he was the complete package.

Super tall, defined muscles, handsome, messy black hair, and polite!

While the girls were gushing hard, the boys were sizing up their newest obstacle with hate-filled glares.

The transfer, Alexander, blinked in surprise. "Um... what's with these extreme reactions?"

The teacher sighed, and quickly reigned her students in. "That's enough everyone!" She shouted, causing the atmosphere to return to how it was before. However, it was obvious the students were straining themselves considerable.

"My apologizes for such an intense first impression... you may take that seat in the fifth row over there." The teacher pointed to an empty seat, and Alex bowed before heading over to it quietly.

...

The bell rang, symbolising the end of morning classes.

Ah, real school is definitely a change of pace. But it's not awful. At least my tutors managed to get me to this level. The material is easy enough to follow.

Alex began putting his things away, but was quickly surrounded.

Oh dear.

"Hey! You're name's Alexander, right?" One of his classmates, a girl, asked.

"Why'd you transfer here? Where did you come from originally?" Another classmate, also a girl.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Is... that a normal question to ask?

Alex realised something. All the classmates surrounding him right now were girls. Every single one.

What are the guys doing?

Alex poked his head over the girls surrounding him, and saw that all the guys were grouped up on the other side of the classroom, fierce, hate filled glares on their faces.

...Oh.

"Well, to answer your questions, yes, my name is Alexander Kang, and I used to live here in Kuoh, but I moved away about a decade ago. And uh... no, I don't have a girlfriend."

The girls squeed at the reveal.

"Are you doing anything after school? How about going to karaoke with us?"

"Yeah! I'm sure you have an amazing voice!"

How would you know that?

"Well, that's a kind offer. I'm a little busy today, but I wouldn't mind going another day?"

"Aww... okay!"

Alex stood up, and tried to move past them.

"Now, it's lunch time, right? I don't really know where the cafeteria is, could one of you point me in the right direction?"

The girls clamored for his attention, all trying to speak at once.

Alex was unable to decipher any of what they were saying.

"Hey, excuse me?" A male voice managed to, albeit barely, cut through the sea of girls.

Alex looked past the girls and saw a boy with medium length brown hair approaching.
