Dylan Valerius was in Class 10, but his grades were actually amazing. He was one of those naturally brilliant kids—not only first in Class 10, but also in the top three of the entire school's rankings.
The reason he was in Class 10 was that, like Aurora Sterling, he was a transfer student who had paid his way in. The difference was that he had gone through official channels at the very beginning of the first semester of senior year.
The reasons for his transfer remained a mystery. Even their homeroom teacher, Donovan, didn't know much and had never even met Dylan's parents. Furthermore, Dylan had a solitary personality and disliked getting close to people, which at one point led Donovan to believe he was a problem student.
Unexpectedly, his grades turned out to be outstanding. Ever since Dylan arrived, Donovan's Class 10 finally had a student who could break into the top 20 of the school-wide rankings. Naturally, she treated him like a precious treasure.
