Chapter 118: The Relationship Between the Two

Melody immediately recognized Luke standing on the podium as she raised her head.She frowned
slightly.

Her expression made everyone think that she was going to reprimand Luke.

In fact, Melody frowned only because she thought that Luke looked too awful.

She didn't know what Luke was up to, but he indeed looked like a top student, dressed diligently in their
school uniform.

Luke grimaced as he looked at Melody.He suddenly began to panic inside.

He wasn't sure if Melody was angry that he came to the class without informing her firsthand.

With her beautiful face, Melody opened her pink lips and said, "Hey, you can take this seat."

She pointed to the seat next to her.

Luke's gaze followed Melody's finger.

The desk she was pointing at was the vacant one beside hers.

Although it wasn't close enough to Melody's seat, they would still be considered as seatmates in that
case.

‘For the sake of the boss, I am not going to argue with that kid!’ Luke thought as he took a quick glance
at Lance before he looked at Melody with a smile.

"Sure!" Luke said happily.

Then, carrying his bag, he dashed up to the seat and sat down.



When the crisis was over, Ms.Watson let out a sigh of relief.

Ms.Watson admired Melody for taking the initiative to speak up and keep the class in order.

Melody may appear to be cold and aloof, but she was still a warm-hearted person.

Wasn't this proven by how Melody was starting to help in maintaining the order of the class now?
Lance turned his gaze at Luke, who was beaming at Melody.

He couldn't understand why, but he felt uncomfortable.He had a strong hunch that this kid would steal
away Melody's attention from him.He felt as if he was gradually losing ground to him.

From the moment that he first saw Luke, Lance had an odd aversion to him.

The class had been quiet and orderly.

However, when the bell rang, the atmosphere in Class 8 changed as soon as the class instructor
walked out the door.

Unusually, what used to be a quiet and orderly Class 8 during class hours was even quieter when the
class ended.

Suddenly, Lance stood up.

Tension began to grow in the classroom as the other students saw Lance stand up with his usual stoic
expression, along with his close friends who frequently followed him wherever he went.

In order not to disturb Melody's rest, Lance walked over to the center aisle to approach Luke and gazed
down on him.

Luke immediately noticed Lance's presence and stood up.



He put one hand in his pocket and gave Lance a contemptuous look.

There was a hint of provocation in Luke's eyes.

The other students in the class could not help but sigh.

‘Luke is undeniably confident! How dare he challenge Lance.He's like a newborn calf, not afraid of
predators!’ some student whispered.

Lance sensed a strong aura emanating from Luke as their eyes connected.

Luke's lips curved into a sinister grin.He turned out to be more than simply a typical kind student.

There seemed to be more to him than meets the eye.

As they gazed at one another, the two lads had aggressive ideas.And after a while, they finally came to
an agreement.

"Boss is sleeping.Let's go outside to talk,"

Lance suggested, gesturing sideways.

But it wouldn't be just a simple talk.

Luke's eyes darkened and his smile quickly faded as he heard the way Lance referred to Melody.

Obviously, this reckless brat had already crossed Luke's boundary.

‘He really wants to take my place in Melody's life.He really has no self-awareness.What a thick-faced
bastard!’ Luke thought.

He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Let's go!"



Lance took the lead and Luke followed him outside.

The two of them disappeared from the class while their classmates were left gossiping about the
tension between the two lads.

Lance had told Clifford not to follow him as he was leaving.

But Clifford and the other lads were concerned that something horrible might happen.

They didn't have any concerns about Lance's safety.

They knew about his skills.

They were particularly worried about Luke, the brilliant new student who seemed to be Mr.Albert's
favorite.

What would happen if he got hurt? After a few thinking, Clifford decided to run up to Melody and wake
her up to alert her of what was going on.

"Melody, wake up!"

Clifford exclaimed, tapping Melody's back.

Hearing Clifford's panicking voice, Melody raised her head and slowly opened her eyes.Her drowsy
eyes emitted a cold, irritated look at Clifford.

The resentment in Melody's eyes almost scared Clifford that it weakened his knees.

He quickly explained, "M-Melody, don't get mad at me..I-l only woke you up because there's something
that you should know!"

"What?!"



Melody’s response echoed her aggravation.

Clifford briefly explained the situation between Lance and Luke and even expressed his worries.Melody
glanced at Luke's seat.It was empty.

She nodded and replied indifferently, "I see."

Then, she rested her head back to the desk.It was not that Melody didn't care about Luke.

She knew him too well.

Luke was personally trained by Melody, and he could definitely withstand all of Melody's strikes.

Luke and Lance's strength should be equal to each other.

If young guys were enraged, there was nothing wrong with getting into brawls.

Otherwise, their physical strength and skills would be wasted.

Seeing that Melody didn’t bother to check in on the two lads, Clifford and the others could only sigh and
stay in the classroom.

Everyone nervously waited for the two to come back.

The class bell rang.

The two boys who had just gone out to "talk" returned while everyone raced back to their seats.

Luke and Lance had the attention of the entire class.

Everyone was even more confused when they noticed that their classroom uniforms were tidy and that
both of them still looked handsome and presentable.



After Clifford carefully sized up Luke, a lot of questions raced in his mind.

Could it be that Lance really just wanted to talk? Could he have possibly changed his ways? When
Luke and Lance returned to their seats, Melody suddenly sat up and leaned forward on her desk with
her elbows.

She coldly looked at the two of them and came up with an idea.

It seemed like the two of them were quite similar in strength.

But from the way that Lance was sitting down, it was obvious that Luke had the advantage.

Luke had been fighting on the streets since he was a child.

Although his physical skills were not good enough, he was skilled at deceit.

Ordinary people would never be able to take advantage of him.

Settling down on his seat, Luke smiled at Melody who had just woken up.

"Hi, boss!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Did Luke already know Melody? Melody glared at him and coldly said, "Class is starting"

Melody's cold attitude did not affect Luke at all.

Instead, it made him feel good because she was interacting with him.

"Okay, boss.Don't worry, I'll listen to the class attentively!"



Lance secretly rubbed his legs.

It hurt so much that he wanted to scream in pain, but he preferred to be quiet about it.

Seeing Luke being too friendly to Melody made him unhappy.

‘This rascal really wants her attention, huh’’ Lance thought.He could control himself any longer.

He quickly turned to Melody with his brows furrowed and asked, "Boss, do you know this kid?"

Melody nodded without saying anything.

Hearing Lance's question, Luke leaned over Melody and raised his eyebrows at Lance, then he
smirked in a way that provoked him.

"Much earlier than you!"

"You..."

Lance couldn't take it anymore.The two of them were about to start another argument.

Melody heard footsteps coming towards their classroom.She knew it was their teacher's.

With a sullen look on her face, she coldly blurted out, "That's enough!"

The two of them immediately shut up and leaned back to their seats.They knew that they had to get
their selves together this time.

The first priority was to not make the boss angry.The two lads’ anger instantly subsided with just a few
words from Melody.

It was as if they had both suddenly calmed down at once.



The students who were curiously watching the boys’ altercation were all dumbfounded.

As expected, the one who had the power to control them was Melody.

She was the real big boss!
