Glory to The Returning King Chapter 17
The class widened their eyes in disbelief."What the hell?!"Clover had always been the center of attention, no matter where she went. Admiration and adoration followed her like a shadow. Love letters and fresh bouquets were common offerings.And yet, she had never once responded to anyone's advances. Her lack of reaction or even reciprocal attention seemed deliberate—as though she were a goddess above the passions of mere mortals.Even Jake could only manage brief conversations with her. He never got to be physically close to her.And if he couldn't, nobody else could.What this transfer student did—the pat and the hair-twirling—was nothing short of blasphemy against the school's most revered symbol of purity!"How dare he?!""Bastard!"Clover's admirers were enraged. The rest of the crowd waited eagerly for the inevitable drama.Clover wouldn't tolerate such harassment, and Jake would surely give Reinhard at least a bloody nose if he found out!The only person in the class

All eyes were on Reinhard as he strode back to his seat."Yo, why didn't you tell me you two got history? She practically threw herself into your arms, man!" the young man from before exclaimed."You've officially made history today, bruh. You made The Ice Queen act like a girl next door in public!"Did you see Jake's face? Holy shit, he looks like he just got a positive on a pregnancy test!"Reinhard followed his gaze and saw a student standing at the door, his face stormy.The student met Reinhard's eyes with sheer belligerence.Reinhard dismissed him after a glance. A nobody like Jake didn't deserve even a moment of his attention."The name's Caspian Pent, bruh," the young man introduced himself with easy confidence.Reinhard smiled faintly. "Reinhard Castell."A while later, the homeroom teacher finally arrived."Everyone, today, we welcome a new student to our family," she announced as all eyes turned toward the back of the class.She smiled at Reinhard. "Well, I'm plea

Clover headed toward Reinhard's table during recess and glanced at Caspian, who knowingly left them alone by running off to talk to his other friends."R-Ryan, about my mom… She's…" Sadness filled Clover's eyes, and tears glistened in them."I know, Clo. Don't cry. I only recently heard about your mother's passing after returning here," Reinhard said softly.After being banished to the woods, Reinhard survived through perseverance and an indomitable will. He blacked out shortly after, though.It was Hebe Smith, Clover's mother, who found him. She took him home and nursed him back to health.That was when Clover and Reinhard met. She was nine, and he was ten. Hebe unofficially adopted him for about six months, and during that time, Clover and Reinhard grew very close.However, Reinhard had his ambitions. He needed to regain his martial arts skills, so he steeled his heart and left them—though not before promising he would return one day.He learned of Hebe's terminal illness at t

Clover nodded with an apologetic smile and left the classroom with Jake.Judging by their heights, it was clear that they were meant for each other.Caspian returned to his seat and scoffed. "Hmph! He's just making excuses to be around her. Pathetic!"Reinhard remained unbothered. Clover was gorgeous and captivating. It was no surprise that she attracted a throng of admirers.He had come to this school to be close and protect her like a steadfast older brother. He didn't plan to interfere with her relationships—if she liked Jake, that would be fine by him.Caspian leaned in with a mischievous glint in his eye. "You probably don't know this, but our school is welcoming a Kravate team from Jamerson High today."These guys are the real deal. I heard they were trained by high-ranking experts from abroad—straight from Kravyte itself! They're here to spar with our MMA club members and learn from each other!"Caspian's eyes lit up, his interest obvious. "I've seen Kravate in action onl

Rex gulped, his eyes fixed on him. Witnessing Reinhard's fight the other day had shocked him. It had also filled him with fear and a sense of inferiority.He had hoped it would be a strange, one-off incident he'd never need to revisit. He'd kept quiet about it, too.But who would have thought that the same guy would show up at school… and so close by?!Jake noticed the look on his face. "What's the matter?""N-Nothing!" There was no way Rex would tell him about that embarrassing chapter in his life."Well, stay focused, alright? We can't let the school down," Jake reminded quietly.Rex nodded.-"Wait for me here, Ryan! I'll be back once I'm done!"Clover flashed Reinhard her sweetest smile before joining her club members—all of them were stunning—in hanging the banners.Caspian seemingly materialized out of nowhere beside him."Yo, the gym's packed!" he remarked. "Not bad, huh? Looks like half the school is here!"Reinhard scanned his surroundings coolly."Indeed. It's ju

Reinhard knowing Clover personally had already been a shock, but learning that he knew these other two girls as well? That had to be an exaggerated bluff, right?Reinhard was just a normal fellow from the countryside.Caspian knew Clover's background was similar, so it made sense for these two to know each other. But Amelie and Aria were wealthy heiresses from the city!"Yeah. We even had coffee together the other day!" Reinhard said matter-of-factly.Caspian, still in disbelief, let the conversation drop.Compared to the fanfare on the Luchenstad City High side, Jamerson High's section of the gym was quieter.A young man who appeared to be their leader smirked as he looked at Jake and his team.Jake took the mic. "Good afternoon, Luchenstad City High! We're honored to have the Kravate team from Jamerson High here to meet and spar with the MMA Fight Club. In the spirit of sportsmanship, we are all friends! Thank you for coming!"There will be three one-on-one duels. Your suppor

Carrie's retort was so fierce and sharp that it made Caspian shrink back.The others' attention shifted toward them. They disapproved of Reinhard's comments too.The match had barely started, and this edgelord was already spouting armchair prognoses. Talk about irritating.Reinhard, however, remained as cool as ever."Whatever I say or do has nothing to do with you. I don't need your commentary," he said, turning to her with a dismissive glance.He looked away and chuckled. "I was just stating my opinion. You could've ignored it. What's the point of arguing with me?"He wasn't interested in quarreling with a fangirl.But Carrie wasn't letting him off that easily."Aww, scared of an actual debate? It's not as fun when the person listening isn't a sheep, is it?" she taunted."How about a bet? If the MMA Fight Club gets completely defeated, I'll do whatever you ask—as long as it's within reason. But if even one of them wins, you lose, and you have to apologize to the MMA Fight Cl

The MMA Fight Club had been confident—they didn't expect to be defeated with a single kick.Jake's expression darkened.For the second round, Rex was chosen to fight.The Kravate team retained their first fighter to face him.Rex willed himself to stay focused. From that one kick, he could tell his opponent was strong. He would have to give it his all.He stepped into the ring and launched a flying kick.The Kravate fighter evaded it with two quick steps backward.Rex spun, preparing a follow-up backthrust. But his opponent suddenly struck the bend of his thigh with a sidekick.It felt as though his leg had been hit by a wrecking ball while he was mid-turn.Rex lost his balance and crashed to the ground. His head spun so violently, he could no longer continue the fight.The crowd was stunned.Amelie frowned. She hadn't expected the MMA Fight Club to be so pathetic."Fuck!" Jake cursed, leaping to his feet.The girls immediately cheered and clapped.The others could suck i

"Well, since you're here… I suppose we can pay for your meal. Eat with us," she finished.Amelie had gotten so used to being an heiress that she could not help but default to acting haughty and superior."You saved our lives, Reinhard. So we owe you this. Come on, let's eat somewhere else," Aria added.Plenty of students from Luchenstad City High dining in the restaurant overheard the conversation and shot Reinhard looks of envy.Amelie and Aria were beauties, and the former was seen as equally gorgeous as Clover. Only the popular young men like Rex could be near them.They had never invited anyone to dine with them before. Reinhard was somehow the first!Just as everyone thought he would agree, he declined."Nope." He waved dismissively. "I saved you because you're Mrs. Skye's daughter. That's all."He then looked at Aria. "As for you? You were just there."The air gelled.Amelie and Aria froze. His response was outside their expectations.It just seemed so ridiculous—they

Lucas was bewildered. Reinhard had just lifted him with one hand!Reinhard stared into his eyes. "Time to do what you promised to do!"Lucas shrank back. He had agreed to Reinhard's terms because he hadn't thought he would lose.But now? He was thoroughly defeated, yet he didn't want to follow through on his promise.He could apologize, but slapping himself in public felt worse than death. He wanted to back out, but one look at Reinhard's face sent fear crawling through his mind.Those eyes looked like they came from hell.Lucas had never seen eyes like them before. He was sure that if he broke his word, this kid would turn into a demon.The sound of cheeks being slapped reverberated through the gym.The crowd was stunned—Lucas was actually doing it!"I'm sorry!" he cried out to Clover and the crowd as he slapped himself.When he finished, Reinhard released him and gave him a scornful look. "You're not pleased with this, are you? Fine. You want to challenge me again? I'll tel

Lucas' teammates laughed. They were all elite fighters, but Lucas was the best among them. Reinhard was nothing—or so they thought."Ready?" Reinhard asked.Lucas shrugged. "Do I need to get ready?"Reinhard put his right hand behind his back and attacked.Lucas' face turned pale. He saw a blur, and before he knew it, his chest was hit.The crowd heard a thud and saw him stagger several steps backward. He crashed into the wall, clutching his stomach in disbelief.He retched!He could no longer fight.The crowd was stunned.They had barely seen anything—and already, Lucas had lost."How dare you use a sneak attack!" yelled the Kravate team member who had fought Rex.He lunged at Reinhard with a punch.With one hand still behind his back, Reinhard easily dodged and tapped the man's abdomen with a light slap.The man screamed and flipped, landing sprawled on the floor.His teammates were enraged and rushed in all at once.In the blink of an eye, they were all on the floor,

The crowd gasped. They might have been glad to see Reinhard standing up to Lucas, but no one believed he could succeed where Jake and Rex had failed.Carrie snickered to herself. "Oh God, this guy is delusional. He's just asking for it!" Jake was the man of her dreams—irreplaceable and unsurpassable. If even he had lost, this idiot would have no chance."You're going to beat me up until I apologize?" Lucas leaned in scornfully. "Is it worth simping for a girl like that, dude? You really think you deserve to fight me?"He pointed at Rex and his team. "They couldn't match me. What makes you think you're different?"Clover looked worried. She grabbed Reinhard's arm and shook her head."Hey, we should back off. I wasn't hurt, right? We don't need to get on his bad side," she whispered.Reinhard smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he stepped closer to Lucas.Lucas shrugged. "Fine, I'll humor you. Gotta let the girl see how manly you are, right? If you beat me, I'll apologize—not jus

Many in the crowd—including the Art Club—wanted to catch her, but they were too far away!No one could reach her in time.The thought that their beautiful goddess was about to fall sent the crowd into a panic.Before Clover could even cry out, however, she felt a strong, firm arm catch her in midair. She snapped out of her shock and met Reinhard's handsome smile."Ryan!" she cried out, touched.It felt just like old times—whenever she was in trouble, her Ryan would always save her."Are you okay?" Reinhard asked with a gentle smile.He released her only once she was steady on her feet.Clover nodded and stood next to him, acting like a docile little wife."I'm bored. Let's leave this dump!" Lucas announced, not even realizing what had just happened to Clover.He simply waved at his team, beckoning them to leave with him.Jake slammed his fist on the floor in helpless frustration. The gap between them was too wide! Even if he had a rematch, he was sure he wouldn't last more t

Who else could that indifferent young man at the corner be?Amelie hadn't expected to see Reinhard watching the match.Aria noticed him too. "It's him! I knew I saw him by the gate this morning!"She met Amelie's gaze, and they exchanged a silent understanding. "Could he win if he goes up against Lucas?"Aria remembered clearly how skilled Reinhard had been against the armed thugs the day before.One of them had even knocked Rex out with a punch, but Reinhard had defeated them all in record time—one against four. He could win."I'm not sure, but I think even in the worst-case scenario, it would have to be a draw. It's just… he didn't look interested in challenging him at all!" Amelie replied, guilt rising in her chest again.Reinhard simply gazed ahead, unaware of the girls' presence.Amelie was right. Reinhard couldn't be bothered. To him, both sides were as good as pretend fighters. Who cared who won? He was just there to wait for Clover."Man, I thought I'd be learning some
