First Day at Huaxing University
Luxury cars pull up at the gates. Cameras flash. Reporters murmur excitedly. Everyone wants to see the new season’s star athletes.
Crowd
It’s Kai Liang… the Liang heir!
Crowd
Old money perfection!
Kai Liang
Another tournament. Another day. Nothing new.
Kai steps out of a sleek black Rolls Royce, perfectly dressed in a tailored tracksuit. He adjusts his racket bag, his expression cold and unreadable.
No one dares approach him. Not because he’s intimidating—he just doesn’t give them a reason.
Crowd
Min Jae! The Korean prodigy!
Crowd
New money, unstoppable on the court!
A red sports car screeches to a stop. Min Jae steps out, sunglasses on, smirking. Cameras click non-stop.
Min Jae
Well, well… look who’s still pretending he’s royalty.
Kai Liang
At least I don’t need to scream for attention.
Old money versus new money. Rivals since junior championships. Every glance between them feels like a challenge.
Inside the girls’ dorm, Araya “Aya” Thepparit drops her luggage onto her side of the room with flair. Gold earrings glint as she stretches dramatically.

Araya Thepparit
First day, first impression… let’s make them remember me.
The door clicks. Lin Yue enters, perfectly poised, hair in a sleek ponytail. Her eyes sweep over Aya.
Lin Yue
You really think flashy accessories help?
Araya Thepparit
(smirking)
Araya Thepparit
Better gaudy than boring. You look like you’re at a funeral.
Lin Yue
Loud, flashy, and obnoxious. Typical new money.
Araya Thepparit

Araya Thepparit
Ice queen alert. Looks like trouble.
Their dorm is luxurious. Each student has their own private bedroom, but they share a spacious living room and a fully equipped kitchen. Perfect for privacy… and perfect for conflict.
Kai inspects his room silently, noting the comfort and style. Min Jae throws his luggage onto his bed, spinning a racket in his hand.
Aya flops onto the couch in the living room, stretching, while Yue sits at the dining table, neatly organizing her belongings.

Looks like we’ll see each other a lot… even if it’s just in the kitchen.
Even with separate rooms, tension fills the shared spaces. Every interaction, casual or forced, is another spark in the fire of rivalry.
Later, Kai heads to the kitchen to grab water. Min Jae is already there, leaning against the counter, smirking.
Min Jae
You actually drink water like a mortal. Didn’t expect that.
Kai Liang
And I didn’t expect to see you here bragging before breakfast.
Across the hall, Aya and Yue bump into each other making tea. Their hands meet over the kettle.
Araya Thepparit
Watch it. I’m not afraid to pour hot water on you.
Even small moments in shared spaces become arenas for their rivalry.
