The Club (1)

Nathaniel was walking down the Red Palace's corridors, heading to the cafeteria.

After his morning practice and classes, he usually met his friends, Natasha and Karl, for lunch at the cafeteria.

But that changed a few days ago when screenshots of private conversations and private photos of Nathaniel and Natasha began circulating among the lower-ranked students, causing the three to drift apart.

Nathaniel now felt alone and excluded. He couldn't help but wonder who was behind the leak and what they hoped to gain from it, but he had a hunch that Erik was behind it.

After lunch, Nathaniel attended his afternoon classes alone. Usually, he and his group would go together before heading to their rented private training rooms at the Red Palace. This was one of the privileges that wealthy people like him could afford—something Erik could only dream of.

The group usually ended their training by going to a club owned by his father to eat and get wasted.
