Fine, let him make a mess of it.
"Whatever happens next, it's not my concern," she murmured with resignation.
Badr fiddled with his phone and gave an OK gesture.
Soon, several cars sped towards them, and a group of reporters and photographers armed with cameras emerged.
Badr quickly called to direct them, intending to have them inquire about the so-called "famous actress."
At Minegahara High School, almost everyone knew Mai Sakurajima, so when the reporters started asking questions, the students naturally associated the "famous actress" with her.
As expected, with the reporters' secret interviews and the students' gossip, rumours quickly spread across the campus.
"Could it be true? Did Mai-Senpai get deceived by a scumbag? Maybe they got the wrong person..."
"The reporters are here, and she's the only star in our school. Maybe she doesn't even know yet!"
"Wow, that's awful. Deceiving someone's feelings is so hateful..."
Students whispered amongst themselves.
With his excellent hearing, Badr recalled many conversations about the matter.
Simultaneously, several students noticed Badr.
Their expressions showed a hint of surprise when they looked in his direction.
Their gazes seemed to be focused on Mai.
Badr's heart stirred, feeling that it was indeed working.
Some students began whispering about them, looking at Badr and Mai Sakurajima with curiosity and surprise.
"Hey, could it be him? Is that Mai Sakurajima next to him?"
"Wow, it is her! Is that guy her boyfriend? Are those rumours true or not..."
"Oh no, Mai-Senpai might not know the truth about her boyfriend. Should we try to tell her?"
Hearing these students' conversations, Mai Sakurajima tightened her grip on Badr's hand.
She realized her ability's influence had lifted.
As Badr had said, such negative rumours played on people's gossip instincts, spreading like wildfire and taking effect almost immediately.
However, this also meant trouble for Badr!
She looked into the distance, where several cars were parked, and the reporters were eagerly discussing something.
As the reporters arrived, memories of Mai Sakurajima were restored in their minds, and they realized it was big news.
After all, it was Mai Sakurajima!
From a child star to a beloved figure known by many, she had never had any scandals. Now, news had finally surfaced, guaranteed to catch everyone's eye!
Some reporters were already ecstatic, dancing with excitement.
"It's Mai Sakurajima! This is huge news..."
"Look, there she is!"
Someone spotted Mai Sakurajima and also noticed Badr holding her hand.
Suddenly, all the cameras pointed at the two of them...
Watching the eager reporters rushing over, Badr stepped forward, shielding Mai Sakurajima.
The reporters were excited, like starving people who suddenly saw food, eager not to miss out.
