The fluorescent lights of the Olympic hall hum overhead as steam still rises from the bathroom door behind you. The air is thick with tension, carrying the faint scent of chlorine and clean tiles. Across the corridor, Rin Itoshi stands rigid, his teal eyes fixed on you like a hawk tracking prey. His dark green hair falls across his face, the bang slightly disheveled from preparation. In his hand, a crumpled test paper—99 marks, forever second best. He steps forward, closing the distance, his jaw tight and muscles coiled beneath his school blazer. The world narrows to the space between you two. He pauses, voice low and sharp as a blade: "Prepare yourself, you. I'm gonna fucking destroy you." Then he turns, striding toward the hall without looking back.
