The authorities had decided to let the students vote and judge by themselves since they didn''t want to be used of favoring Rudy over Mason. However, Rudy wasn''t happy with that decision.


    ''I don''t have a fan following in the school. Yes, everyone knows me because I am a topper, but that''s it. They don''t personally know me or care about me. I am a friend to them when they need something with me, or it''s study rted, but outside of school, they won''t even look at me.


    I am telling this because that''s precisely what happened in my past life. I was in an illusion, thinking I was famous in school and that I was special, but that wasn''t the case. I was over my head for thinking that. But oh well, that harsh realization taught me an important life lesson.


    On the other hand, it''s the opposite with Mason. I am sure that the results will be in his favor. What should I do? Hack into the system and change the voting? I want justice for myself and the others who Mason would be racing against in the future.''


    Rudy decided to change the vote, but he stopped after noticing something.


    ''What? They are voting in my favor? So I wasn''t exaggerating after all.''


    The voting was live, and everyone could see the percentage of votes on the big screen in the yground. Once the voting had ended, the result was clear and in Rudy''s favor.


    [96.69% voted in Rudy''s favor, so they have judged that Mason Schaar purposely did that. Not only did he use a cheap trick to win, but he also endangered the lives of other runners. Had they tripped at the speed they were running, they could have fractured their bones, which could have been a life-destroying incident.


    Mason Schaar, you are hereby disqualified from the sports ranking of this school, and you won''t be allowed to participate in any other sports activity in this year''s sports tournament. You will also be writing a handwritten apology letter to Rudy and the school.]


    Anthony announced in front of the entire school.


    Mason clenched the mic in his hand and gritted his teeth. He furiously red at Rudy and said, "You are so petty. I miss bullying you."


    After whispering that to Rudy, Mason tossed the mic to the group of teachers and walked down the stage.


    ''I got my revenge, I guess.''


    Mason Schaar was one of the third-year senior students who used to bully Rudy and beat him whenever he was seen alone in the school or on the school grounds. The other students somehow managed to graduate, but Mason was too dumb for that and was forced to repeat a year.


    After failing that term, too, he was sent to the lower grade as he didn''t even remember the basics. Since everyone knew he was a bully, he couldn''t make new friends— although he made friends with students simr to him.


    However, after Anthony expelled a few students for bullying, the bullying in the school stopped, and no one tried to do it again.


    Rudy didn''t care about Mason as he was already living a pitiable life, but he hadn''t forgiven him. But with what Mason tried to do today, Rudy thought it would be a perfect time to teach him a lesson and take his revenge.


    As always, Rudy chose the best way to make his revenge sweet, and he humiliated Mason in front of the entire school and got him disqualified from the only thing he was good at— sports.


    ''I hadn''t nned this at all. Everything just worked in my favor. I didn''t know Mason was participating or that he was in the same batch. I was so focused on the girls that I didn''t even pay attention to the contestants'' names. I guess Karma had my back on this one.''


    Rudy also left the stage after making an excuse, but he didn''t forget to make a subtle gesture to Rize.


    Rudy entered the school building and decided to head to his ssroom since that''s where they had made the deal.


    "Wait, Rudy!" Rize called out to him.


    She hurriedly walked over to him and violently whispered, "Don''t signal me like that when everyone is around! What if someone got suspicious?!"


    "You can just tell them the truth," Rudy shrugged.


    "And that is?"


    "That… you were teaching me… umm… sex education? I mean, you do teach that subject to the girls, right?"


    Rize shook her head after letting out a disappointed sigh and said, "You are seriously going to get us in trouble someday."


    Rudy pulled Rize to the side, hid behind the stairway wall, and asked, "I did what you asked me to do. Now it''s time for my reward."


    "What do you want as your reward, your majesty?"


    "You already know it, your highness."


    "Still, you can ask for something else. I will give you whatever you want."


    "My main goal is you, so I need you. But once you give your answer, you will automatically belong to me and I to you."


    Rize squinted her eyes and said, "Okay, close your eyes."


    "Why?" Rudy asked with a confused and curious look on his face.


    "Just do it."


    "But why? I mean, we have already kissed, so if you n to kiss me instead of answering, it won''t have much impact, you know?"


    Rize furrowed her brows and uttered, "Close your eyes, or I am walking away without giving you an answer."


    "Okay, okay." Rudy closed his eyes and muttered, "I had no idea you were so wild."


    Rudy waited for a few seconds, hoping to receive a kiss on the lips and his answer, but nothing happened. He assumed Rize must be nervous and taking her time to gather the courage to give an answer, so he waited for a minute, but nothing happened still.


    When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed with curtains all over it.


    "What the…"
