In the book, wasn’t he supposed to be in the Physics Department? Later on, Stephanie even used her physics knowledge to make a bomb. It never mentioned him changing majors.
If he switches majors, won’t that mess up the original plot?
Lucius seemed to notice something was off and looked at her with a complicated expression. “You don’t want to see me?”
Milly forced a smile. “No, it’s not that.”
Lucius said calmly, “But you look a bit unhappy.”
Milly hurriedly laughed. “No, why would I be unhappy? As we discussed before, we’re… friends, right? How could I not be happy to see a friend.”
The word “friends” almost squeezed out of her teeth.
Lucius’s expression improved considerably at that.
Anthony frowned as he watched Lucius sitting next to Milly, his lips pressed tightly together, almost overflowing with disdain. How did this guy become so close to his sister all of a sudden?
Unable to contain himself, he whispered, “Milly, what’s going on?”
Milly took a deep breath, afraid that Lucius might hear, so she leaned close to Anthony’s ear and whispered, “Well, it’s a long story.”
Anthony squinted–the first time he had been so serious in front of Milly. He said. with a voice carrying an authoritative tone, “Then make it short!”
“Um…”
Lucius’s peripheral vision happened to catch the close proximity of the two heads. Because they were so close, their hair strands intertwined together. Through the window, the wind blew in, causing some strands to fall onto Anthony’s back, giving off an intimate appearance.
This realisation sparked jealousy in Lucius, as if something personal of his had been taken away.

His fingers slowly tightened, leaving clear marks on the new textbook from the force of his grip.
“Milly!”
Milly’s body stiffened, and as she turned her head, she met Lucius’s cold eyes, sending a shiver down her spine.
“Milly, you said it yourself, we’re each other’s only friend.”
Milly blinked. “Huh?”
“So, you can only be close to me,” Lucius said with a straight face and steady voice.
Milly was speechless.
Is this possessiveness part of his character in this crazy storyline?
Smack!
Before Milly could even start explaining, Anthony slapped the table and stood up. “Hey, what’s your deal? What do you mean only friends? Who even wants to be friends with you!”
Lucius slowly lifted his gaze to meet his. “That’s pretty rude.”
Anthony smirked with annoyance, glaring back defiantly. “Why should I be polite to you? Who are you to me?”
Lucius licked his lips, a hint of irritation flickering in his eyes. “I’m in a good mood. right now and don’t want to argue with irrelevant people. I’ll give you one chance: shut up now, and we can pretend this never happened.”
At first, Anthony wasn’t all that angry, but when he heard Lucius’s words, hist temper shot straight to his head.
It felt like a direct insult!
Since he was a kid, apart from his sister, older brothers, grandfather, father, and the Tibetan Mastiff at Qld Mr. Santos‘ place, there wasn’t much that scared him.
Anthony’s hair bristled with anger as he rolled up his sleeves and stared at Lucius. “I’m not shutting up! How about we settle this right here, right now, and see who’s

backing down from whom!”

His voice was loud enough that everyone in the classroom turned to look.
Even Milly was taken aback by Anthony’s outburst. She quickly grabbed his shirt, trying to push him back into his seat. “Okay, okay, calm down…”
Anthony, he’s the one who can make bombs!
She wouldn’t dare to mess with someone crazy who was capable of wreaking havoc, even if she knew the novel inside out.
But Anthony showed no fear at all, quietly reassuring Milly, “Don’t worry. Your sixth brother isn’t the pushover he used to be. After two months of intense summer training, I’m now a superman!”
After saying that, Anthony raised his head and mocked Lucius, “You think you’re so tough? Stand up and let’s settle this. If you win, say whatever you want. If you lose, just stay away from my sis… my schoolmate Milly!”
As he said this, you could see a glint of aggression and madness in Lucius’s eyes.
Milly could see it clearly.
Oh no, no, no, is this crazy man suddenly taking an interest? How could Anthony be his match? He looks gentle, but he’s actually really skilled. With just a few moves, he could kill people.
Milly was worried things would escalate before she could stop the big boss from. exploding. She wasn’t even sure if she could come out unscathed from dealing with Lucius, especially since he had the author’s character halo and a boosted buff from the original book!
So she quickly turned and tried to calm down the irritated Anthony. “Let’s just drop it. We’re all classmates. Let’s not make things worse. Let’s each take a step back and move on, okay?”
Usually, Anthony always listened to her, but now he was as stubborn as a mule, insisting on settling things. “You don’t have to talk me out of it. I know what I’m doing. Today, I have to show him who he’s messing with!”
Milly said, “You!”

Why does it keep getting worse?

As the tension thickened and everyone in the classroom held their breath, suddenly, the classroom door was pushed open.
“What’s all the fuss about? Who was making all that noise just now?”
A tall, muscular instructor wearing a camouflage uniform walked in, with a bronze- coloured badge on his chest.
As Milly recognised his face, she stood frozen in place. Even Anthony, who had been heated and intimidating just moments ago, widened his eyes and blurted out in surprise, “Oh my god? Xa… Xa…
He couldn’t manage to finish saying “Xavier.”
Xavier, dressed in camouflage, scanned the classroom sharply, finally locking eyes. with Anthony at the back. He squinted. “Were you the one making all that noise. just now? Come up here and do twenty push–ups!”
Anthony shot back, “Why should I? It’s not even class time!”
Looking serious, Xavier stared him down. “Just because it’s not class time doesn’t mean you can be loud. Who taught you to act so wild?”
Fuming, Anthony clenched his teeth. “You son of a-”
Xavier, that sneaky guy, must be using me to warn others!
Hmph!
As expected, the students in the entire classroom had a hint of fear in their eyes, only daring to whisper quietly.
“Oh my god, this instructor is so strict.”
“Yeah, he actually dared to publicly reprimand Mr. Xavier. He must not care about his life.”
“This is bad. Our military training days are going to be rough.”
