“Hey, did you see that new drama where the main character falls in love with his sister’s friend?”
A teenage girl, with brown hair running till her hips and decent features, donned a particularly neat uniform, asked her friend as they walked towards the gates of what seemed to be a high school building.
Beside her, another teenage girl was walking. She had silver hair, ivory skin, and a beautiful face, which was devoid of any subtle emotions. She was also wearing headphones connected to her smartphone via a wire, but she made sure to listen to her friend.
As the girl walked, the surrounding boys and even some girls stared at her with wide-open eyes spellbound by her beauty.
Oblivious to their gazes, however, the young girl walked, seemingly used to it. Turning to her friend, she said, “I haven’t had free time lately, so I haven’t watched it yet.” A wry smile formed on her face, which looked exquisite nevertheless.
“What? You haven’t seen it yet? YOU SHOULD! Do you know how handsome the main character….”
As her friend kept talking about the supposed drama, the eyes of the young girl fell on a distant young man.
“Ah..?!”
There at a distance, a young man wearing the same uniform as them was walking towards the gates from the opposite direction, with an elderly woman beside him.
‘.....’
The silver-haired girl stared at him for some time. The young boy who was walking towards the gate was tall with a handsome face and a firm build. He was even taller than the normal boys of their age but weirdly was walking clumsily with his back slightly bent, even the uniform he was wearing was strange, he was short and wide, which didn’t fit the young man at all.
However, even with his clumsiness and the strange uniform, the boy looked handsome and almost dreamlike.
And as if thinking the same, the brown-haired girl exclaimed, “Wow! Who is that hunk…? Did we have someone like that in our school?”
As the brown-haired girl was sizing up the boy, the silver-haired girl looked at him with surprise, taken aback by his appearance.
“He must be a transfer student since he is with an adult,” the silver-haired girl said, her gaze still lingering on the boy.
“Ah! Is that so? Then I hope he is in our class then!”
While the brown-haired girl continued her chatter, a complicated expression appeared on the silver-haired girl’s face.

‘Weird… It feels like I met him somewhere…’ she thought, continuing to look at the handsome boy.

Max and his sister now stood in front of the school gates. The young man was strangely nervous as he didn’t know what was going to happen, while his sister appeared to be determined to do something.
‘I told her I’ll manage, but I don’t even know how I am going to convince them.’ Max thought, feeling afraid for some reason.
It was kind of understandable why he was hesitating, though. Until yesterday, he was someone who looked like a fat pumpkin, and now he was a handsome young man.
‘To be honest, even if my sister is a nurse, teachers won’t believe her that easily.’ The changes in Max were very apparent, and he was sure that no one was going to believe him if he was going to tell them that he was ‘Max’.
‘What should I do?’
As he walked silently beside his sister, various thoughts ran through his mind. He even considered just dropping out of school but was too afraid to reveal this thought to his sister.
‘...she will kill me for sure.’
-Gulp.
Max dismissed the thought and tried to come up with some other idea, and suddenly he remembered something.
‘Status.’ Without wasting any time, he called out his status. And the holographic screen appeared before him.

Scanning through his status, at the end of it, Max saw an item that he hadn't checked yet. Feeling like it could prove useful somehow, Max hurriedly opened its description.
_________________
Rank - random
An item that randomly rewards the user, it may contain legendary skills or a useless item. Whatever the user receives depends on their luck and what the user requires the most at that time.
_________________
The description was almost the same as the normal random box, except for the final line.
'Whatever the user requires the most at that time.'
For some reason, Max thought it was the right time to use the random box, and without hesitation, he opened it.
[Congratulations! You have received…..]
As he watched the system message, an expression of surprise and relief appeared on Max's face.
