Introduction

"Recap of the missed event."

Their heart was racing, adrenaline still rushing through their veins as they dropped the lugage on the bed. Shuang wasn't scared, or at least they didn't think they were. They'd seen some of the other students straight up freak out, while they silently tried to follow along with whatever was going on. God, the chaos of it all, they were sure it could have been enjoyable if they weren't involved in it as well.

But the more they tried to process the situation the more questions kept popping into their head. How long were they all supposed to stay there? Was this a copy of the school they were meant to be at? Hm. The person in charge would no doubt need money to make this all happen. But why target the elites? It couldn't be motivated by socio-economical reasons, some of them had come from nothing and nowhere. This wasn't a commentary classism. It didn't fit. Envy of their natural expertises? Perhaps. At least it seemed a bit more likely, but there was no basis to support such a guess.

They took a deep breath, closing their eyes for a moment. Whatever the situation might truly be, they were determined to make the best out of it. And once out of here, wasn't this the start of a great story to push them even further into the spotlight? Shuang was an optimist at heart, in the worst sort of way. They put on their best smile, and walked back out.
