In Class 2-B, dozens of students stared intently at Lotte, who was sitting in the second to last row by the window.
"It, it must be just someone with the same name, right?" Fujiwara Chika, who was sitting next to Lotte, said with a dry laugh.
"Yeah, ah, how could Lotte-kun possibly destroy Blue Star..." Yuigahama Yui also forced a smile that looked worse than crying.
However, in the next second, in the Universe Chat Room, as the camera shifted, the faces of the five currently living Saiyans were revealed!
A bald, burly man over two meters tall, whose shiny head stood out from the other four—Nappa!
A man with long hair that nearly touched the ground—Raditz!
A short but defiant-looking man with spiky, sky-high hair and a prominent forehead—Vegeta!
A man whose facial features were somewhat similar to Raditz's, but with a simple and kind expression—Kakarot!
And... a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his expression as if he were indifferent to everything—Lotte!
Instantly, Class 2-B... no! The hearts of every student in the entire Shuchiin Academy sank.
It's real, it's really, really him!
Rustle!
In an instant, all the students in Class 2-B, except for the few girls who were on good terms with Lotte like Fujiwara Chika, Nakano Miku, and Yuigahama Yui, jumped out of their seats and cowered in the corners of the room.
It would be strange if they weren't afraid.
After all, the official chat group had just said it. They were a warrior race that could destroy planets and took pleasure in killing!
Meanwhile, in A-City, at the Hero Association headquarters.
"I've found him!"
A suited intelligence officer swallowed hard, rushed into the conference room with a file, and shouted to the high-ranking officials of the Hero Association and the several S-Class heroes present:
"Lotte! He's currently a student in Class 2-B at Shuchiin Academy, but, but we haven't detected any special abilities."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the Hero Association executives changed slightly.
Among the current S-Class heroes, the 4th-ranked Atomic Samurai said in a deep voice: "Could it be because his power hasn't awakened yet?"
"In that case, we should eliminate him before his abilities awaken," suggested Flashy Flash, the 13th-ranked S-Class hero.
"Eh~ You want to act now? I've seen the guy's file, he hasn't done anything so far... I'm a little hesitant to strike," Tatsumaki said with a slight raise of her eyebrows.
"Don't be so naive, Tatsumaki," Atomic Samurai retorted with a sneer. "Didn't you hear the video? He was sent here to destroy our planet!"
"I think we should at least control him, to be safe," Child Emperor interjected.
Although he also felt it was a bit inhumane to act against Lotte when he hadn't done anything wrong, the information about the Saiyans from the video was just too terrifying.
If they could deal with him before his abilities awakened, that would be for the best.
After all, this was no small matter; the fate of the entire planet was at stake!
"Isn't the [Demon Cyborg] Genos a student at Shuchiin Academy? Let him handle it. There are also several A-Class heroes stationed there," a high-ranking official proposed. "But just in case, I request all S-Class heroes to head over as well."
Everyone agreed unanimously.
"Everyone..."
At this moment, the 3rd-ranked S-Class hero, [Silver Fang] Bang, suddenly spoke in a solemn voice:
"Let me remind you, if you're going to make a move on that boy, you'd better be prepared to be killed!"
...
...
As Blue Star's premier school for the elite, Shuchiin Academy had many children of powerful and wealthy families studying within its walls.
Naturally, it received a high degree of attention from the Hero Association, which had dispatched several powerful heroes to guard it.
Among them were the 2nd-ranked A-Class hero [Iaian], the 3rd-ranked [Okamaitachi], and the 4th-ranked [Bushidrill].
Upon learning that Lotte was a Saiyan, in less than ten seconds, the three A-Class heroes rushed into Class 2-B and surrounded Lotte.
Iaian: "Don't move! You're surrounded!"
Okamaitachi: "To think such a handsome boy is... You really can't judge a book by its cover."
Bushidrill: "To think he hasn't made a move all this time. Is it because his bloodline hasn't awakened yet?"
Seeing the three heroes with their swords drawn, Fujiwara Chika, Nakano Miku, Yuigahama Yui, and the other girls became anxious.
Fujiwara Chika waved her hands frantically, "Please, please wait! Lo-Lotte-kun isn't that kind of person!"
Nakano Miku: "He's... a good person..."
However, the heroes, who knew what a Saiyan was, wouldn't listen.
"Second Miss Fujiwara! Get back quickly!" Bushidrill reminded her loudly.
Fujiwara Chika was the second daughter of the politically prominent Fujiwara family. If anything happened to her, they couldn't bear the responsibility.
Bang!
The wall of the adjacent classroom was smashed to pieces, drawing everyone's attention.
They turned their heads to look and saw a huge hole had been punched through the wall.
A young man of about 18, with blond hair, black eyes, and both arms made of mechanical prosthetics, walked in.
"Genos!"
Seeing the newcomer, both the regular students and the three A-Class heroes showed expressions of joy.
Although the three A-Class heroes were strong, they were no match for the S-Class hero, Genos.
Besides being the 7th-ranked S-Class hero, Genos was also a student of Class 3-A at Shuchiin Academy, which was why he could arrive so quickly.
...
Watching Genos walk towards them, Iaian also breathed a sigh of relief and said to him:
"Demon Cyborg, you're finally here. Please, fight alongside..."
Thud!
However, before Iaian could finish the word "us," Genos suddenly threw a punch, striking him in the abdomen.
Iaian's eyes bulged out in pain.
His knees hit the ground with a "thump," and he vomited a mouthful of stomach acid.
"What!?"
Seeing Genos attack Iaian instead of Lotte, everyone at the scene was stunned.
Immediately after, Genos walked to Lotte's side and bowed respectfully.
"Teacher!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "..."
Nakano Miku: "..."
Fujiwara Chika: "..."
Yuigahama Yui: "..."
The three A-Class heroes: "..."
Everyone was dumbfounded. What... was happening?
