The bathroom was thick with cigarette smoke.
Vin Jin leaned against the sink, grinning wide, rapping at his own reflection like the cracked mirror was a live audience. His crew circled him, phones out, cheering as if the dingy tiles were a stage.
"Yo, Vin on the mic, king of J High—"
The stall door creaked.
Heavy footsteps.
Logan Lee stepped out, cigarette dangling from his lips, eyes half-lidded, grin sharp. He exhaled slowly, the smoke curling through the haze.
Vin's grin only widened. Not with fear—but with the thrill of finding easy prey.
"Well, well. Fresh meat," Vin sneered, strutting forward, his shades gleaming. "You look like pig. What department you from, huh?"
Logan didn't answer. He just stared, grinning.
The silence stretched.
Vin clicked his tongue, irritation bubbling. "What, too dumb to talk? Heh. Guess I'll break you in."
He shoved Logan's shoulder. "Welcome to J High, loser."
The grin never wavered.
Wham!
Logan's fist buried itself in Vin's gut. The rapper's breath vanished instantly. He doubled over, gagging, but before he could recover—
Crack!
Another blow smashed across his face. His sunglasses shattered, one lens clattering across the floor.
Vin reeled, clutching his face. His crew gasped, panic flashing in their eyes.
But Vin wasn't afraid. Not yet. He snarled, lashing out with a wild swing. "Bastard—!"
Logan caught his wrist mid-swing. The grin stretched wider.
"Pathetic."
Wham!
He slammed Vin against the sink. Tiles cracked. The rapper thrashed, legs kicking, but Logan's fist pounded into him again and again.
"Rap for me now," Logan hissed.
Vin groaned, hands flying to cover his eyes, shielding them desperately. His crew froze, too terrified to step in. Logan growled, prying at Vin's fingers, trying to expose what he was hiding.
Vin's breath hitched. His shades were gone. If they saw his eyes—no. Not here. Not like this.
From inside the last stall, a quiet gasp.
Jay-Gal Gong sat frozen on the toilet seat, cigarette slipping from his lips. His wide eyes tracked the monster dismantling the loudest mouth in the department.
Vin whimpered, still shielding his face. Blood dripped from his chin.
Then—footsteps outside. A teacher's voice barked: "What's going on in there?!"
Logan's grin faded. He released Vin, straightened, and in one smooth motion vaulted through the open window, vanishing into the air.
The bathroom door slammed open.
Vin and his crew were sprawled across the floor, groaning. The teacher's eyes narrowed. "What happened?!"
Vin clutched his gut, sunglasses broken, pride shattered. His lips trembled—then he forced a weak laugh. "I… slipped."
The teacher frowned. "Slipped?"
"Yeah," Vin wheezed. "Clumsy me."
No one else spoke. No one dared.
Later.
Logan walked into the comics department classroom. His eyes swept the room, and what he saw made his grin curl.
Sheep. Every single one. Heads down, shoulders hunched, harmless.
Pathetic.
The door slid open again. Jay-Gal Gong stumbled in, pale, still shaken from what he had witnessed. His eyes locked on Logan—the grin, the weight, the aura that clung to him like smoke cloud.
His heart raced. This was it. The monster he had seen… the man who could turn sheep into wolves.
Jay-Gal bowed low, voice trembling but eager.
"Logan Lee… be our master. Lead us. I'll be your right hand. With you, we can bring honor back to the department."
Logan tilted his head, amused. "Master?"
He chuckled low, smoke curling from his lips. "Fine. But if you slow me down…" His grin sharpened. "…I'll break you too."
Jay-Gal's eyes widened, equal parts terror and admiration. "Yes, boss!"
Across campus, whispers spread like wildfire.
"Logan vs Seong Min…""They didn't even fight and it felt like the world stopped.""He already destroyed Vasco and Vin Jin…""…that just leaves Zack Lee."
The cafeteria, the hallways, even classrooms buzzed with the same name.
Logan Lee.
Crystal Choi sat at her desk, her phone angled low beneath the table. Group chats flooded with frantic messages. and here other whispering
"Some transfer in comics department.""He wrecked Vin Jin.""No, I'm serious—he DESTROYED him.""Even Jay-Gal saw it. Said it was brutal.""Vin's glasses broke, bro. He covered his eyes like a baby.
Crystal's Her thumb hovered above the screen. Her brows furrowed as she scrolled through the chaos.
Another one, she thought. Another brute.
Her phone screen dimmed. With a faint click, she locked it and set it face-down. The classroom hummed with noise, but her mind drifted elsewhere.
How many had she seen already? Boys puffing their chests, carving their names in bruises. Most burned bright for a moment before fading just as fast.
Still… this one was different. The way the others typed his name, the fear bleeding through their words, made it clear enough.
Logan Lee.
Her lips pressed into a thin line. Another muscle head with no control.
And yet—something about the name stuck. Something sharp. Something she couldn't shake.
She leaned back in her chair, expression unreadable.
For a moment, her father's voice echoed in her mind. The way Charles Choi dismissed the strong as pawns, pieces to be moved. Monsters that could be leashed.
She folded her arms, eyes narrowing. Maybe Logan was just another brute. Or maybe—he was something else.
Elsewhere, Seong Min leaned back in his chair, violet eyes half-lidded as he listened to the same whispers drift through the hallways.
"Logan Lee… brutal as hell.""They say he's unstoppable.""Well, now that he's crushed both Vasco and Vin, only Zack ,and remains."
Logan might just be just a bit weaker than a normal crew head ."
He exhaled slowly, almost bored.
Logan Lee. Nothing new. Every year, someone rose fast, loud, violent. Every year, they thought themselves untouchable.
And every year, they fell.
His violet gaze sharpened, cold and certain.
If Logan was a storm, then Seong Min would be the one who decided where and when it broke.
Two names now spread through J High like wildfire .One born of chaos .One building toward empire.
And between them—Daniel Park, bloodied and broken, still struggling to rise but changed.
The board was set. The next move inevitable.
