Luke gets out of the car with the umbrella and notices that it's Derick, but the car is already in motion. He heads towards Grandpa Han's house:

"Hey, I'm home!"

Grandma sees Luke and is very happy and tells him that the boys were there and that they would be meeting for a few more minutes. She gets a little upset and says that if she had known that Luke was coming, she would have made the boys wait. Luke laughs and says that the two of them probably wouldn't have liked me meeting him today. Grandma then regrets it and remembers that Luke gave the boys suspension and that she thought it was a bit of an exaggeration, Luke agrees and explains that he needs to do this, and that he needs the two of them not to be at school, and that he needs time to find out whatever has happened, so Luke and Grandpa Han go to the office to talk in private, while Grandma asks the maids to help look for Luan's phone.

Luan and Derick are in the car and Luan remembers that he has to go to the bike shop, because the guy must have sent him a message, but he doesn't have his cell phone, he gets out of the car and goes to talk to the guy at the bike shop, he tells him that he can fix it, but as he said before it won't be 100%, and the service will cost 100.00, Luan is out of money at the moment and goes to the car to see if Derick has any money to lend, he knocks on the window Derick opens the window and Luan asks:

"-Hey Derick, can you lend me 100.00?

Derick looks at Luan and says:

- What? Do I look like a bank?

-Please, it's just a loan and I'll pay you back, okay?

-That'll be the last time I lend something to you, you hear me?"

"ok ok, thanks!"

Derick takes the receipt from Luan's hand and keeps it in his pocket, so that one day Luan can pay him back. The man then gives Luan two days to get the bike ready so that he can pick it up. When Luan gets home, he sees that his mother has already arrived from work. Before his mother asks why he wasn't at home, he explains that Grandpa Han called them to talk and they had to train. His mother asks why he's wet and if he got himself wet because of the rain, Luan explains that he was in the swimming pool and that's why he was wet, his mother then explains that she went to her school in the afternoon, but they said that the principal wasn't there and that they couldn't see her, but that she'll go again tomorrow morning, and set up a tent there if necessary.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll sort it out. I need to leave quickly, I'm going to the grocery store, it'll be quick! "

Ana tries to hold him back, but Luan runs off and goes down to the garage to get his bike, and leaves to take it to Mr. Edvan at the grocery store. Derick looks out of the bedroom window and sees Luan with his bike in the rain and thinks:

"What's this crazy guy doing riding his bike in the rain?"

He puts the receipt in his drawer, along with the others:

"One more receipt, I really do look like a bank! "

Luan leaves his bike with Mr. Edvan while it's being repaired, when he's halfway there, he hears a horn. He looks and notices that it's Grandpa Han's driver, so he stops and the driver hands Luan his cell phone and explains that it was behind a vase of flowers, Luan looks confused because he remembers putting it on the table and not behind a vase, he thanks him and goes home, while arriving home again, he takes a hot shower, while his cell phone charges because it was off and low on battery, before dinner he picks up his cell phone again and finds it strange that there are no messages for him, not even in the Student Guild group.

"There's only one message from the bike shop, there's a missed call from Derick, and that's it, that's strange."

He sits down for dinner and talks to his mother, Ana picks up her notebook and continues with writing her book, then Luan is stroking Mr. Fluffy while he watches the basketball game, he gets pensive and suddenly remembers to look at the school blog, which is something he usually does, he goes to his room to get his phone once again, and does the login.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

the blog and sees the posts, he notices the photo, zooms in on it, and it appears to be Luke Becker in it, he reads the comments and says to himself:

"What in the hell is this?"

His mother freaks out and asks him if something has happened, he disguises it and ends up saying that it was nothing, he then takes a printout of the entire publication, he looks at his messages and contacts and gives up sending messages because due to everyone's silence, he imagines that they could be hiding about, he looks at the clock it's 21: 00, he then decides to call Grandpa Han, Grandpa answers surprised that Luan is calling, he asks if something has happened, but Luan reassures him and asks him to thank Grandma for finding and sending his cell phone, that they hid it, yes he is almost sure that Derick hid it, but he does not want to go into that now, he then corrects his sentence to " lost cell phone" and then says:

"I'm going to choose tomorrow, so I ask you as Vice-Director to revoke my suspension for the second day, or else I'll cancel my participation in the Awakening Test! "

Grandpa almost chokes, and explains to Luan that he can't cancel the Test now, Luan is just bluffing because he decided of his own free will to take the test, and he's never used his position as the Headmaster's grandson, but he couldn't find any other way to be able to suspend it and go to the school to check what's really going on, Grandpa still tries to explain that the clock is a magical artifact, so it's probably already consuming Luan and Mark's energy, so that the Portal is safe, until the new Elemental Hunter is chosen.

Luan remains silent because he knows all this and he knows that he chose to take part in the Test of his own free will, but he wants to go to school anyway, he can't think of any other way. Grandpa Han notices Luan's desperation, and he knows that he will do everything he can to resolve this issue, just like every other time with Student Guild matters, Grandpa Han then reassures him and says that he will find a way to revoke the suspension, and that he can go to school tomorrow, so that he doesn't cause any trouble or problems.

Luan then calms down and thanks him. He tries to sleep, but the photo and the comments are weighing on his mind:

"Someone is trying to screw me over, who could it be? And why? Why does he have that photo? What should I do? Who should I hit? No, it can't be solved with violence, Luan, but I was suspended because of that fight! Yes, I was punched and kicked, but I wasn't beaten up as much as they said, I was beaten up a lot more! How people can be influenced! Until yesterday they liked me! Did anyone defend me? No, there were few defending me, Oh... I try to help, but they don't think twice about making a bad comment, so ungrateful! And my friends? All silent. Did they really think I wouldn't find out? Haha trying to hide it from me? But what if they forgot about me? "

And he covers his face with the blanket, trying to sleep, but throws the blanket up and continues to think:

"...damn it...don't think...don't think...I don't want to think about the PHOTO....but he wouldn't hate me that much, right? Has all these years made him hate me? He doesn't have that right! I might, but he doesn't!"

So he gets up, takes a drink of water, it's still raining, he stares at the rain for a while, he looks at the clock and it's 4:00 in the morning.

"I haven't even slept yet!"

So he sits down on the sofa next to Mr. Fluffy, who is sleeping and ends up dozing off. Suddenly his alarm clock rings, it's 6:00 a.m. Luan wakes up scared, he looks like a zombie, but he quickly gets ready, leaves a message for his mother, and leaves in a hurry.

...

"Good morning Mom, I'm going to school early!

Yes, I've been released from suspension, you don't have to go to school! "

...

Luan is the first to arrive at school, and he goes to the music room to play the piano, to see if he can calm down a bit.

"I think I've caught a cold! "

He plays for a while, and then he hears the 7:00 bell, when the students enter, so he goes downstairs and passes through the corridor, the students are still entering the classroom, and as soon as they see Luan passing by, they start whispering to each other:

...

"-Is it Luan? But wasn't he suspended?

-What a nerve of him to come to school after being found out!

-Looking at him, he looks like a real bully!"

Luan pretends not to be listening, but it's inevitable that he feels exactly the same way as when students come to report on bullying, so he goes into the classroom, puts his backpack on the chair and sits down.

His classmates are surprised, and then start whispering again.

"What's he doing here, wasn't he suspended? "

...

Luan then walks quickly into his classroom, sits down and thinks:

"This feeling again, it's been a few years since I last experienced it, it was right after I lost my grandparents in that accident, I ended up getting out of the accident unharmed because my grandparents cast a protective spell, they were taking me somewhere that day, but I still haven't managed to find out where and why, I've read all the magic books they had, It's been 5 years studying and perfecting it, but I'll only be able to find out when I join the DSO, but for now I have to resolve this matter in question, I need to find out who took the photo, and made the post, although I already imagine who it is, apparently the conversation didn't solve it, so stubborn is he to abuse my patience, but I have to confirm that it really is who I think it is. "

(Sucks, I really don't like having to feel like that again, let alone that others might go through it, so be strong and don't let that feeling take over you:)

Luan sits still and thinks, while he looks at Mary and Kenji's seat in the living room, but they're not there, the break bell rings and Luan goes to the terrace, he definitely can't concentrate, and the terrace is a good place to be when Luan needs to think about something.
