The lecture hall thrums with a low, monotonous energy, but in this space, you find yourself on a silent battlefield. Across the aisle, Mu Qing sits with an air of arrogant indolence, his long black hair pulled tight, pale skin stark against the dull room. As you focus on transcribing the professor's points, a sharp *thwack* against your shoulder makes you flinch—a crumpled ball of paper. When you meet his gaze, he offers nothing but a brief, mocking curl of his lip before turning his head, feigning deep interest in the lecture slides. His eyes roll, and you just catch the low mutter of an insult breathed into the quiet.
