[Bed Miss Linda.]
[No forms of blackmail or persuasion should be used.]
[Use of Aphrodisiac, Sleeping Drugs or anything other thing considered a Violation on Target is strictly Forbidden]
At the end of it, Max watched as the "Forbidden" turned ominously red. Causing him to freeze in shock.
'Forbidden? What the fuck? Isn't this a Taboo System?'
One, two... He kept on mouthing one curse after the other at the System which showed no response as it seemed to be processing something.
[Rewards To Be Granted To Further Motivate The Host.]
[A Whole Rank Upgrade and 1 Stats Point]
It added, making Max who stood frozen at the closer door almost fall on his knees.
'A cucking whole Upgrade? I'll be damned!' While he wanted to wonder how the System could possibly grant him such a reward. He flung these thoughts away and Willed on [Accept]

...
Teens were still teens, whether they were from rich or poor families didn't matter, they acted similar in school.
To his arrival, the whole class seemed to be engaged in a lively conversation. Laughing, giggling, and some serious ones simpli occupied with books. Few gave him a dismissing glance before acting oblivious to his presence...
Just as it should have been on a normal day.
But not today...
Max's eyes searched through the class and instantly marked the center of attention, the cause of the ongoing liveliness. When they were supposed to be having a class.
'Arthur.' Max thought to himself, recognizing the blonde haired youth who sat ruggedly and arrogant on his desk while engaged in a conversation with more than four girls.
"What's this? A ten dollar glass?"
"Hahaha" To his words, a series of soft giggles rang after.
'Bitches.'
Seeing this, Max controlled his expression, subtly masking his disgust to the girls laughing to a rubbish joke while he began walking forward.
"... Or it was passed down from her grans. Who knows. I feel disgusted holding this in fact." As he tried to crack another lame joke about the glasses.
The sound of quick steps, and Max's usually concealed presence released, automatically started to gather attention towards him as everyone began to notice an obscure figure heading towards Arthur who sat at the front middle row.
"Can't even study science with the way she dresses..."
'Bastard.'
"Well... No one blames your mother for giving birth to a proud fool."
His voice wheezed through the whole classroom, enacting a pause. He sneered at Arthur's stunned facial expression, before cooly taking away the glasses from his grip.
As if that wasn't enough.
His composed facade, while holding back the threatening grin and a cheering mind at the thought of being the center of attention. Seemingly improved to a cool classic one as he slipped out a white hanky from his jacket and began wiping the glasses under their speechless stares.
'Oh the gods, I wish this was an Aura System... I would have fucking maxed it out.'
It was as if they had all been enraptured by his acts, and stayed silent without moving till he seemed to be done.
Following that, he placed the pair of glasses in his own case and closed it with a click.
Click!
As little as that sound reverberated, it was as clear as a high note in their ears.
The majority who held their breath finally exhaled, and Arthur whose arm remained raised all these while finally came to his senses.
His face had all his blood drained from it,pale for a moment before being filled with vigor. Scrunch up,it folded and formed, humiliation, shame, anger, rage and filled with viciousness.
The unknown yet familiar youth had gone too far.
"I am Arthur, a descendant and prince of the Trojan Royal family you bastard!" He exploded, jumping down from his desk with clenched fist, while pointing his other arm at Max's turned back.
Such humiliation...
'Such weak lines...'
'So now, am I supposed to say I am the son of a prestigious business owner and I just stuck my dick down a princess's throat?'
Of course he knew that the Trojan Royal Family was among the first rate ones in the world. But being a prince of such didn't really matter to Max.
They were in class five for fuck sake.
Elite Metropolitan operated on individual Ranks that could be raised by high marks, performance and behavior.
That said they couldn't really keep those of the same Ranks in a single class considering they didn't all share the same social standing outside school.
So instead they were all mixed, scions who held the positions of heirs in their family stayed in Class One.
Class Two was less, and the same went for all lower ones. Although the whole second year would mix up often, there was a borderline.
A prince in Class Five meant he held little to no social standing in his family. A prince and nothing more.
"Are you so sure?"
Turning to face the former, he waved the glass case in hand while furrowing his brows.
Unfortunately, no one seemed to understand what his act meant...
"Oh, don't you know harassing or disrespecting a Metropolitan Teacher is a great offense that could ban the next generation of your family from attending this School?"
Appearing puzzled, he seemed to give the whole class a round glance while they appeared to reason his words.
"No... But it says here that a harassed teacher is given full rights after providing evidence, to ban or suspend whoever it was that offended them."
To Max's surprise, someone actually spoke up. Attracting the attention of the class.
Unexpectedly, it was their class president.
