[A/N: Attempting to make a gift for @LunaticsCorporation for Valentines Day]

Roan Academy.

An academy that focuses and prioritizes pupils' talents over academic results. It is a place where someone like Cale Henituse can slack off peacefully.

Talents? He's basically trash at that. However, he can't say he's trash when it comes to perfecting exams.

At the age of 16, Cale Henituse is a gold medallist known throughout the country he previously lived in.

A prodigy and a genius recognized for acing every prestigious school entrance exam prompted other universities to come knocking on his door, inviting him to teach at their school at such a young age.

A student who is extremely popular across their school. And a well-respected one at that.

A gifted son of the Henituse family, who was rumored to be the driving force behind the success of their company.

Many tried to have a contractual marriage with the oldest son of the Henituses, but the head of the family was too overprotective of their oldest son.

And thus, he was forced to travel back to his home country and transfer to an academy where he could lay low and enjoy his high school life without having to worry about his grades standing out because of the fact that the academy focuses on talents.

Cale Henituse's former school mourned the departure of their mysterious Cale-nim, who had helped students improve their grades by reintroducing the lessons better than their teachers.

"I think I'll be able to sleep soundly in this academy."

Cale stood outside the big gates of the academy, oblivious to the gazes he was receiving from the other students passing through the gates.

As he stared carefully at the large building, the corners of his lips raised slightly. This is where he will spend the rest of his academic career.

Roan Academy.

A place where he can slack off.

Cale sighed as he looked down at the small lunchbox wrapped in the handkerchief he was carrying. Even though he had already urged his mother not to make anything for him because he doesn't eat much at lunchtime, Violan persisted in doing so, fearful that he would pass out in the middle of his class.

As he approached the school gates, he spotted the school guard staring at him. He has lengthy, unkempt brown hair that has been compared to a lion's mane. He has a dangerous appearance and appears to be capable of sending him flying back to his previous homeland with a single flick of his finger.

However, the small glare that was fixated on him disappeared, and it was replaced with a wide smile.

"Hey! Are you a transfer student?"

Cale nodded slightly as he blinked at the unexpectedly loud voice.

"Kahahah! You seem weak, but you look like a genius!"

The students around them all turn to look at the redheaded student, and all Cale wants to do is get away from the situation.

Now, the students studying at Roan Academy know their school guard very well. He had no little regard for students and would often challenge the talented ones coming from the Martial Arts Club.

To this day, they still don't know why that guard hasn't even been fired for trying to pick fights with talented students like Choi Han, the president of the Martial Arts Club.
