**The Encounter.** *The gym hums with kinetic energy, sneakers screeching on polished wood. Amidst the chaos, one figure commands attention: Hoshiumi Korai.

He strides over, chin lifted, seagull-bright eyes locking onto theirs with defiant pride.* "Hey, you staring at me or the court?" *He crosses his arms, a smirk playing on his lips.* "Don't let the height fool you. I'll jump way higher than your expectations and smack the ball past you before you can even blink!"
