A Heartthrob at an American High School

A high school of America-set, everyone-loves-the-protagonist story, also known as The High School Demon King. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites!

Bai Zui had spent seventeen years growing up as wildly as he pleased when his deadbeat dad, who had abandoned his wife and child, suddenly brought him to America. The man didn't even show his face. He merely had the butler tell Bai Zui to keep a low profile at school, avoid provoking people he shouldn't, and not even think about asking questions about the family.

Bai Zui didn't care. Oh, keep a low profile. Easy.

And so, a "perfectly ordinary" Asian student arrived at Sephy High. His hair nearly covered his eyes, and he wore black-rimmed glasses. Apart from being taller than most Asian students, he had no remarkable features at all, making him an obvious target for the older students' pranks and teasing.

Then they discovered that this Asian freshman could catch a basketball thrown at him with one hand, effortlessly dodge a hose spraying water at him, and turn the tables on someone trying to tie him to a statue. Not only did he get straight As, he also beat the school's star, Lion Fletcher, at volleyball. Suddenly, everyone felt the pressure.

They came up with a nasty scheme to get the Asian student on the bad side of Louis, the school's most troublesome prankster prince. But to their surprise, Louis didn't give him any trouble afterward. He even invited him to a party.

Samuel, the class president, was also often seen coming and going with him. Most unbelievable of all, Simon, the musical genius who rarely came to school, started showing up frequently after this Asian student enrolled.

Some students even spotted the group of them gathering at a cafe off campus on weekends, seemingly lying in wait for that Asian student...

Is this right??

Sure, they couldn't beat him academically or in extracurriculars, but wasn't this Asian guy just a poor waiter, born to serve people like them?

Later, they found out that his older brother was Saran, the CEO of a tech company who often appeared in business magazines.

So had a meek, easy-to-bully loser shown up, or was he a demon king?

Louis: Bro, he read my message. Why hasn't he replied?

Will: He must be busy.

Louis: What could possibly be more important than replying to me? Should I send a voice message or a text?

Will: (rolls his eyes)

Fletcher: I'm going to get him onto my Cougars team. There's always a place for him in the club.

Samuel: If you don't have any good plans for the break, how about going to Saint Martin together?

Bai Zui: He's at my place, asleep. Do not disturb.

Bai Zui: I'm Simon.

Everyone: ...
