It was getting late. The students talked for a while longer about the bravery Jack and the others had displayed when facing the thugs earlier before dispersing.
Feena didn't think it was the right time to ask Jack about music, so she returned to the academy. She entered her dorm to find everyone excitedly discussing what had happened at Alnewgo University.
As well-behaved students from a prestigious academy, they'd always followed the rules, not daring to put a toe out of line. Naturally, an event of this magnitude left them stunned.
They realized that even the most quiet and reserved young man could display such a strong sense of justice and courage when the time called for it.
Feena was surprised how quickly the news of the fight had spread. Not only had it spread throughout Alnewgo University, but it had also reached the ears of students in other prestigious academies in Alnewgo. Photos and videos of the fight had already been shared on these academies' forums.
The most striking figure was undoubtedly Jack, whose rallying cry had drawn a crowd of supporters. Even though his image in the video was rather blurry, his fearless stance as he led the charge against the thugs was unmistakable. The footage vividly captured his strong sense of responsibility in protecting his fellow students.
The confrontation ultimately turned into a battle between the students and thugs. No one doubted it would leave its mark on Alnewgo University's history.
Lyla, Sidney, and Marilyn squeezed before a laptop as they looked at the photos and videos on the forum. They occasionally let out exclamations of admiration.
"Wait, why do I suddenly feel like this guy looks like Feena's high school friend? Jack Holland, was it?" Sidney sharply noticed the resemblance despite the blurry footage.
Lyla found the guy familiar, too. She turned to Feena and asked, "Is it him, Feena?"
