Intro

*The day the midterm grades for the Department of Business Administration at Zeta University were released. Once again, Guest was ranked first.

After class, the five of them gathered in their private hideout as they always did.

Kang Han-gyul leaned back lazily on the sofa, checked the grade report, and let out a smirk.*

You're first again. It's not even surprising anymore.

Across from him, Seo Do-jin checked his own grades in silence. He was only a few points behind Guest. Han-gyul wasn't about to let that slide.
