First Day Challenges
Morning – Lecture Hall (Academic Track)
A huge holo-screen projects “Advanced Sports Psychology & Strategy.” Aya and Yuehua find themselves in the same class, along with other elite students.
Professor Li
Welcome to Ravenwood. Here, we don’t just train your body, we train your mind.
Students tap into their tablets, pulling up complex case studies of past tournaments.
Kanya Sutham
(whispering to Yuehua, smirking)
Kanya Sutham
Great. First day and we’re already buried in homework.
Lin Yuehua
(adjusting her glasses)
Lin Yuehua
If you can’t handle the basics, maybe you’re in the wrong place.
Kanya Sutham
(raising a brow)
Kanya Sutham
Oh? Careful, princess. I might just beat you in class and on the court.
(The class laughs as Aya leans back smugly. Yuehua’s pen pauses mid-note, her eyes narrowing slightly—but she says nothing.)
Training Grounds – Sports Arena (Athletic Track)
Meanwhile, Yue and Rin step into the massive training complex. Sleek equipment, motion sensors, holographic scoreboards—every tool designed to push athletes to their limit.
Coach Zhang
(clapping hands)
Coach Zhang
No warm-up matches. Straight into drills. Let’s see what the media darlings can actually do.
Yue steps up, calculating every move. His volleyball serves land with precise, sharp power, each spike echoing across the arena.
Coach Zhang
Controlled. Ruthless. Good.
Rin smirks, stretching lazily before leaping into his badminton drills. His smashes cut through the air so fast the sensors flicker red, struggling to keep up.
Seo Rin
(grinning, turning to Yue)
Seo Rin
What’s wrong? Already sweating just watching me?
Liang Yue
(coldly, wiping his hands)
Liang Yue
Flair means nothing without results.
Seo Rin
Then watch me get results.
The tension between them simmers as their coaches exchange wary looks. Two prodigies, already trying to one-up each other.
The four converge again in the corridor, exhausted but unwilling to show weakness.
Kanya Sutham
So, Miss Perfect. Did the textbooks treat you well today?
Lin Yuehua
Better than your sense of humor.
(The tension is thick, but there’s a strange energy binding them. A rivalry… and something deeper.)
