I’m so sick of this wig freak!’ Zack thought, exasperated.

What’s the rush? Mr. Shea’s still here! Zack snapped in a low voice. “Put your wig back on. Just look at yourself. What do you think you look like?”

Zack’s face was full of disgust.

Tripp stood on tiptoe, trying to get a better look over Zack’s shoulder, fixing his gaze on the scene.

He scrambled to shove his wig back on, plastering a goofy, bootlicking smile on his face. “Hello, Mr. Shea!”

Levi said, “Just sit down, everyone.”

Downstairs, Stella had just parked her heavy motorcycle when suddenly she looked up, staring at a window that stood empty. of people.

Stella’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Chantel, Stella just showed up for class! Quick, call Icarus! Upstairs, the follower ran into the classroom, gasping for breath. and before she finished speaking, everyone in the class turned to look at her in unison, their eyes full of peculiarity.

Caiden, who’d gone to the Technical High School with Stella before, spoke up, “Chantel, is this really necessary?”

Chantel shot him a cold glare. “Mind your own business!”

With that, Chantel fired off a message to Icarus.

Ever since the whole Chadwick fiasco, Chantel’s reputation in the class had hit rock bottom.

Everyone supported Stella, acting like Chantel didn’t even exist. Today, Chantel was dead set on making them see who was really in charge around here.

Ever since Dexter personally came to the school looking for Stella last time, she’d been the center of attention wherever she

went.

The elevator doors slid open.

Stella stepped out, her gaze lowered beneath long lashes, hands in her pockets. She walked until she reached the principal’s office door, then gave it a polite knock.

Hey there, Stella! Levi’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Stella.

‘Last night nearly gave me a heart attack!’ Levi thought.

Stella just nodded, walked in, sat down, and without another word, pulled a few Rhaesia Invitations, letters on a jet-black background, from her pocket and slid them across the desk to Zack. “Here.”

Tripp gasped hard.

‘Rhaesia Invitations!’ Tripp’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he wondered, “These are the passes that get you straight

into Rhaesia University itself! And she’s got a whole stack!’

Just earlier, Zack had called him, but Tripp thought he was just lagging. ‘Rhaesia University? That’s way out of our league! Tripp was still reeling.

For the Technical High School crowd, Rhaesia University was the kind of legendary place they’d never even dream of getting into.

Zack and Tripp just stared at Stella, totally stunned, mouths hanging open. For a long moment, nobody could get a single word out.

Not enough? Stella cocked her head, paused for a beat, then casually fished out another fat stack and slid it across the desk.

Levi, Zack, and Tripp were even more surprised..

They already thought a few were wild, but she just dropped a whole other pile on them.

Hold up! Tripp whipped out his phone, snapping photo after photo. With a dead-serious look, he pulled up the National University Alliance group chat, took a full set of shots from every angle, and sent them all in at once.

Almost instantly, the group chat exploded.

[Where did those come from?]

[No way, those are fake, right?]

[A whole stack?]

For the first time ever, Tripp, always stuck at the bottom of the academic food chain, was finally getting noticed. Those university presidents who usually acted like he didn’t even exist were now blowing up his phone with instant replies.

On the outside, Tripp kept his cool, but inside, he was flopping around, cheering to himself.

Stella, do you know about- Zack studied the indifferent girl in front of him, his face a mix of emotions. He hesitantly brought up the name of that mysterious academic forum.

Just the other night, in the middle of the night, his phone had been blowing up nonstop.

When Zack finally answered, he learned that the always-lowkey, almost invisible admin of that academic forum had just flashed an Edenbury Academy student badge for all to see. Turned out, the admin was actually one of their own students.

That bombshell had Zack, the principal, completely floored.

For days, he had the archives pull every student file he could think of, but came up empty-handed.

Whenever anyone tried to fish for information, Zack just brushed them off with vague answers.

But now, staring at the stack of invitations in front of him, Zack realized he’d made a huge mistake. From the very beginning, when he was checking student records, he’d completely skipped over Class 3.

Zack asked cautiously, his eyes locked on Stella, not missing a single flicker of emotion on her face.

Stella shot him a lazy glance, her voice totally uninterested. “Never heard of it.” She spun her Edenbury Academy badge around her finger like she couldn’t care less.

But honestly, anyone with half a brain could hear just how perfunctory and dismissive she was being.

Zack. “!!!”

Now, Zack was absolutely certain that Stella was the mysterious academic forum admin.

Levi said, “Hey Stella, you-”

Levi was practically in tears.

‘She’s just too incredible. How am I ever supposed to convince her to come to Jaffina? Levi thought. I’m about to head back to Jaffina, and I still haven’t figured it out! How am I supposed to see her again after this?’

Stella tilted her head, catching Levi’s hopeless look. After a beat, she said, “I’ll swing by Jaffina in a while.”

When Levi’s eyes instantly lit up, she added, “I’ll come see you when I’m there.”
