A/N:

Let's just place a picture on the chapter cover to distract you all. Gyahahahahaha!!

"How are we planning to save him this time?" Wai whispers to Posh.

"We won't. I will kill him myself," Posh hisses in anger.

Wai's eyes widen.

"That is so stupid!" Mike yells in disbelief. "Why would you give up your two years of education in Medical whatsoever to be a freshman again?"

"I didn't say I am smart," Beam responses almost instantly.

Some people are chuckling.

"He got that brutally honest trait from you or what?" Max laughs at Park.

Park looks at Max un-amused.

Laugh disappears from Max's face.

"I am the biggest asshole that I know. And probably still am," Beam says. "And I am lucky my asshole mind sent me to this awesome Engineering faculty and their SOTUS system. I was the only one delivering the job on the first day flawlessly and being all smug about it and yet, the next day I was being punished because of that same reason.

You know why? Because I only cared about myself. That's the day I started looking at others' being, not just me.

My mother gave up me my asshole ass. My friends could do nothing about it. But, SOTUS did." Beam pauses.

"I am sorry, Mike. I really am... for you having an unfaithful girlfriend. What I did at that time, it won't happen again."

Mike is stunned.

Beam then smiles at the audience again. "I just wanted you to know, it is never too late to be less of an asshole. But if you can't do it yourself, you probably should stop by at the SOTUS for the rest of the gathering, we still have two days left.

You are going to meet the most handsome and the hottest Head Hazer ever, P'Forth."

"Yeaaayyy!!! Foooorth!!! Long time na... missing you in the market!!"

"Would drop by if he hazes me privately!"

Beam chuckles.

Forth blinks. Did Beam just say that he's the most handsome and hottest?

"He has four generals. You'll worship those five, really.

First, P'Forth has P'Lam. He is like the calm in the middle of the storm. He is not only smart and super handsome. He is always there for P'Forth. Maybe he is P'Forth's soulmate."

"No! P'Forth's soulmate is you!" Engineering freshmen start yelling.

"P'Park is gonna kill you for even saying P'Forth and P'Lam in a single sentence, moron!" another yells too.

Beam laughs. "Yeah... yeah, he will."

Lam tilts his head. What... but....

Park, really, is already planning Beam's murder for saying that 'soulmate' word.

"Second, P'Park. He is like Ares, the God of War. He is hot-headed, bad-tempered..." Beam continues.

Park scoffs. Okay, it's time to kill Beam.

"... funny and lovely," Beam adds.

He says what?!

Not even Kongpob has that description for Park in his book.

Park blinks. Huh?

"He is reliable. You can count on him for anything, I mean ANYTHING. That's if P'Lam lets you go near him less than the 2 meters space. P'Lam is not only possessive like P'Park but also territorial. So..." Beam lets his sentence hang just like that.

Some chuckles can be heard.

Not even Forth, Max and Tul can hold their chuckles because that is so true.

"Why are you laughing?" Lam frowns.

Park glares too.

"Because those sentences were so fucking-true." Max laughs.

"And there's P'Max... The third of P'Forth's general. What to say about him... You just need him to be around to be happy. He is happiness himself. He always keeps laughing. He likes to help people. Even if he has a bad temper and is easily triggered like P'Park, he is very lovely. Like a teddy bear. But P'Tul won't let any of you touch him though."

Some laughs are heard. "That is so truuueee...!!!"

"Now, P'Tul. Last but not the least. He is so fucking-SMART. He can walk into the classroom having nothing with him, write nothing and look like he is not paying attention, but BAM! The professor asks about something and he's the only one with the answer. He calculates everything carefully, has a warm heart and rarely speaks. He is the type who will kill and can make it look like an accident. P'Max would do everything for him, so basically he doesn't even need to move a finger."

Louder laughs are heard.

"Yup. Those five are my Hazers. They lead me, us, every freshman to be a better person. To be less of an asshole," Beam says softly.

"Engineering students have those five qualities in each of them, in every year. The handsomeness, the beauty... yeah P'Lam, you're the beauty... the temperament, the happiness, the smartness... Everything in perfection, you name it and we have it.

I won't talk about P'Ming. He has at least four out of those five qualities. And then in my year, I met Posh, my fellow freshman. He is just like P'Park and P'Max combined. And then there is Wai who is just like P'Lam and P'Tul combined.

Now, don't forget the girls. Man, if you meet an Engineering girl like Irin, you'll be damned. She could make you KO with her baby finger."

Irin shows her middle finger to Beam with a big grin on her face.

Beam laughs. "... yeah, find someone more like Prae, the Star of Engineering. I don't say it would be easy to tame her because it's not, but she's the sweetest."

Beam is still smiling. "Yeah, yeah.... And don't forget not to make any problems with Engineering students... they are gonna hunt you down. For real. No one can stop them when they fighting for their family."

Beam takes a deep breath. "People might forget what we say but they will never forget how we make them feel. Like you probably will forget about my story, but I hope I lightened up your night, at least to a certain extent.

Thank you for listening to my story about the biggest asshole, me. Let's try to be less of an asshole. I am trying. I hope you all can too. And may happiness always is with you. Good night. This is Beam Baramee, Moon of Engineering."

Kongpob blinks.

Aim is not sure of what to think about Beam right now.

Wad and Tiew go mind-numb.

Surprisingly, the audience claps their hands. Not just the Engineering first years and their seniors, but other students actually like it too... this story.

Forth is still looking at the stage.

All of Beam's words are ringing in his ear.

Between his seniors, friends, and juniors, he is the one who has barely responded the words that Beam said.

He just keeps looking at the stage.

How Beam bows to the judges, how he waves at the audience, and how he walks back down from the stage.

None of Forth's 'generals' pay attention to Forth. They are too busy calming themselves down because of Beam's words about how they treat at each other.

It made them think.

Phana blinks. Maybe letting Beam be an Engineering student is not that bad after all. Their system made it possible to plant some sense into his thick skull.

Moreover, Beam has not played with any girls since the first day of SOTUS. Maybe the key is to keep Beam busy.

"That was awesome," Wayo mumbles. "P'Beam is awesome."

Kit blinks.

Ming makes a WOW with his lips. Really, living this close to Beam, that WOW comes and goes.

And then roses are being given by the audience along with the votes on the official IG of Campus Moon Competition for the Popular Moon or so they can call it Runner Up too in their system. It's rare for the same person to get both... the popular moon and also the campus moon title.

As the Campus Moon title depends on the judges.

And here they come...

Prae. Star of Engineering wins the Campus Star title.

Star of Science wins the Popular Star and becomes the Runner Up by default.

The roses and votes have spoken and Beam gets called out for receiving Popular Moon award.

Kongpob gulps. During his time, he won the Popular Award AND the Campus Moon title.

Can Beam...
