Genius Rivals (Ongoing)

In his world where expectations and standards are as normal as breathing, how would he try to function amidst the sea of interactions? The story is told from Virgil Astraea's eyes, the reigning valedictorian and the top one student of the prestige University of Saint Willhelm. Referred as the best student the university has to offer in terms of academic and brain prowess. Virgil's often cold demeanour and pessimistic view of relationships and society as a whole gives him an unapproachable look from his peers, enough to be known as a loner and an antisocial.

At the start of his Grade 12 journey, a transferee enters the classroom. Raine Evans, her academic status allowed her to be given a scholarship to attend one of the four greatest universities. But unbeknownst to Virgil that the one who can challenge his glorified position in the school has come! Their rivalry is set. No one wants to lose. Either one maintains or one takes the title from the other.

Will the whole encounter warm the icy heart of Virgil? Does Raine have enough firepower to be known as the best? How will Raine's optimism reflect against Virgil's spiteful philosophy? Their identity grows anew as time passes by.
