The following day at school, Namsoo Lee arrived at school with confidence. His 'gear' that he had acquired over the last few months made him a solid level 9, at the least!

Soon enough, he would look exactly like DG! Unfortunately for him, when he arrived with his new equipment, he was approached by somebody of a higher level.

"What the hell? You're wearing the same kicks again."

'Oh! Zack Lee.! Why does it have to be him?' Namsoo began to grow nervous, 'Why does it have to be him? He's got higher quality gear!!'

"We look like a couple, it's annoying." Zack sighed, leaning on the classroom's heater.

"Sorry..." Namsoo mumbled. 'I know I'm smarter than him, so his gear shouldn't outshine mine!'

Zack's overall level was 80, his height was 10, his athletics 10, his fighting, appearance and fighting were 9, but his smarts came in at level 1.

Zack narrowed his eyes and turned around. "Ah, Whatever. It's not my business anyway.." he said as he walked away.

'Huh? Is he sick?' Namsoo wondered, noticing Zack's unusually docile behavior.

When he heard Zack tell his goons to leave him alone, his brain began to jump to conclusions. 'Could it be... My chrome hearts?!' He looked down at his hand in shock.

'Did he see it? Power! Incredible! This is the real deal. The brand makes the man!'

He turned around to look at the ready of the class with a smug gaze. 'Everyone come take a look at my ring!'

His sensitive ego was knocked down again after he turned and saw Jay Hong with every finger in an expensive ring, and completely decked out in brand name clothing.

'He's so quiet I never noticed. Who is he really?' Namsoo couldn't figure out his ranking, the only thing he could figure out was his level ten height.

"Wow, Namsoo. You bought a ring?"

"Oh! Chrome Hearts!!"

"Huh?" Namsoo looked to see who was talking to him, and he nearly passed out when he saw who it was .

'Finally they noticed!! Our class rich kids!'

"Nice, man."

"You know the brand makes the man."

"Yeah, it looks pretty cool."

Namsoo began to zone out when the twins began to brag about their wealth. 'They're noticing me! I'm getting attention from these guys who are loaded!'

When he mentally rejoined the conversation, he grit his teeth when he saw the boys talking about the rings they already had, and how they wanted to get more.

When the rich kids and Namsoo saw that Zoe and Mira were curiously in their direction, they began to up the bragging, playing with their hair and twisting their rings.

Namsoo joined along, refusing to be seen as a loser.

But they weren't drooling over their name brand accessories, instead, they were thinking things like 'What the.. Those tools..' and 'I hate that, they're like a retro trio band.'

Their attention left the boys when a tired looking (Y/N) walked into class and plopped herself onto the desk next to Mira, causing Zoe to begin to whine.

The three boys were about to increase the boasting even more, now that they had the attention of three pretty girls to catch.

Their plans were ruined when the class began to 'ooh' and 'aahh'. When they turned around, Daniel Park was walking into class with a bright smile.
