A group of students huddled together, discussing Rain's latest live stream.
"Hey, did you guys catch his NightSoul stream yesterday?" one curious make student asked, a hint of excitement in their voice.
"Which one, Noah?" Noah's friend replied, looking a bit confused.
"Simon, you are so forgetful. The recent one where he said many things about himself," a chatty girl interjected, grinning widely.
"Yeah, Daphne. it was impressive," an Noah nodded, eyes wide with amazement.
Noah, a freshman in the A class, had an above-average face with a unique look.
He had a slim and fit build, with toned muscles that suggested he was active and athletic.
However, he did not have the overly muscular look of a bodybuilder.
One of his most notable features was his dark green hair, which contrasted against his light skin tone.
His yellow eyes added to his distinct appearance, making him stand out from the crowd.
"His body was like a work of art. Does anyone have a screenshot?" Daphne asked, her eyes scanning the group eagerly.
"I was too busy watching to take one," the chatty girl admitted, shrugging her shoulders.
"If you really want one, somebody's selling them on the Academy forum," Noah informed them, a hint of mischief in his eyes.
Hearing this, Daphne opened the academy forum and started searching for the relevant post.
In a few moments, she found that post.

Currently, a red-haired girl with two pigtails and a lollipop in her mouth was staring at the screen, her eyes gleaming mischievously as she thought about the photos she had taken.
"Fufu. It was a good thing that I snapped his photos. It sure gave me some pocket change to buy candies." She giggled to herself, her cheeks dimpling.
"Now that I think about it, his body sure looks good." She commented as she looked at those photos.
She is the future Merchant Queen, Lily Rochegne. Rank 5th among second year students.
As she thought about the photos she had taken, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction at her quick thinking.
Lily Rochegne, the future Merchant Queen, was a beautiful girl with a petite body structure.
Her fiery red hair was styled in two playful pigtails that added to her youthful and carefree appearance.
She had a small nose, full lips, and bright, sparkling eyes that were always curious and mischievous.
Despite her small frame, Lily was stunningly beautiful, with a flawless complexion and delicate features.
Her skin was smooth and pale, with a subtle hint of rosy blush on her cheeks.
She had a lean and toned body, with a small waist and curves in all the right places, giving her a feminine and alluring look.
After some time, she found out that everyone stopped buying photos.
"Eh? Why nobody is buying photos now?" Lily furrowed her brow in confusion, her eyes scanning the forum for any clue.
Soon, she found out that someone had made a fan club of Rain.
"Let's see." Lily decided to see what kind of fan club it was. Soon she found out about that fan club's website and joined it.
"Oh, They sure have so many photos of him." Lily's eyes widened as she saw many photos of Rain.
Seeing this, she gave up selling photos and removed her post.
"Okay, looks like I can only take this much. After all, many people were watching the stream. Many people would have his photos." She shrugged her shoulders and let out a sigh, her mischievous smile fading away.
"Let's follow this club and that guy. It would be fun." She perked up again, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she thought about the new possibilities.
Lily didn't know this decision was going to change her entire life.
