St. Jude's Academy sat on a hill, overlooking the city like a crown. As the black Rolls Royce pulled up, students stopped to stare. The Thorne Twins were legendary, but everyone knew about the "Lost One."
The morning was a blur of whispers. You Feng sat in the back of the class, his cracked glasses replaced by expensive designer frames, his white hair messy but striking. He ignored the stares until the afternoon.
The gym was packed. It was the annual "Senior vs. Junior" basketball exhibition.
The school's "King," a 6'5" behemoth named Leo, was mocking Ren on the court.
"Come on, Ren," Leo sneered, spinning the ball. "I heard your brother was a street ratDoes he even know what a hoop is, or does he just know how to pick pockets?"
The crowd laughed. You Feng, sitting on the bleachers, felt a vein pulse in his forehead.
[Ding! Hostility detected. 'Bully' encountered.]
[Optional Quest: Show them the difference between a Prince and a King.}
[Reward: Hidden.]
You Feng stood up. The gym went silent. He walked down the bleachers, his footsteps echoing. He reached the court and stopped in front of Leo.
"The shirt is expensive," You Feng saidhis voice low. "I didn't want to ruin it."
"What are you talking about, freak?" Leo laughed.
You Feng didn't answer. He reached for his tie and ripped it off. Then, he unbuttoned the dress shirt with practiced efficiency and tossed it to a stunned Ren.
The entire gym gasped.
Ren was fit, but You Feng was sculpted. His eight-pack looked like it was carved from granite. Every muscle was corded and functional. But it was the Dragon that drew the screams. A massive, black-inked dragon coiled around his torso, its head restingdirectly over his heart, its claws reaching down to his waist.
"The ball," You Feng commanded.
Leo, suddenly pale, fumbled the ball. You Feng caught it with one hand.
[Sign-In Triggered: Basketball Court.]
[Reward: 'God of the Court' Skill – 100% Accuracy.]
"Let's play," You Feng said, a predatory smile stretching across his face. "If I win, you leave my brother alone. If you win... I'll let you walk away with all your teeth."
