Meeting Daniel

A New Name on the List

After his fight with Gun, Wei was sure of one thing he wasn't done here.

Gun had tested him. Acknowledged him. But it wasn't just about strength. It was about control.

Gun wanted to shape him. Own him.

Wei refused.

But now, the entire school knew his name.

Some respected him. Some feared him. Some wanted to fight him.

And then there was Daniel Park.

At J High, there were names you couldn't ignore.

Zack Lee.

Vasco.

Logan Lee.

And then Daniel Park.

Wei had heard the name before. At first, he thought Daniel was just another student. But the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"Daniel Park? That guy's crazy strong."

"He fought Zack Lee and won with one hit."

Wei didn't know Daniel but there was one thing he did know if Daniel was that strong, they would eventually cross paths.

And soon, they did.

Wei was heading toward the school gate when he saw someone standing there.

A guy around his height, with well-styled hair, sharp features, and an athletic build. He looked calm, composed but his presence was strong.

Daniel Park.

Wei didn't need an introduction. He could tell.

Daniel turned, spotting him immediately.

For a moment, they just stared at each other.

Then, Daniel smiled. "So, you're Wei Liang."

Wei nodded. "And you're Daniel Park."

Daniel chuckled. "I've been hearing a lot about you."

Wei crossed his arms. "Same."

Daniel studied him for a second, then spoke again. "I heard you fought Vasco."

Wei nodded. "Yeah."

Daniel exhaled. "Most people would walk away from that fight. And now Vasco is keeping an eye on you."

Wei shrugged. "Let him."

Daniel chuckled. "You're confident."

Wei smirked slightly. "You too."

The air between them was heavy.

**Not with hostility** but something else.

Recognition.

Daniel nodded. "I respect that."

Wei nodded back. "Likewise."

They didn't need to fight. Not yet.

But both of them knew. it was only a matter of time before the hostel arc started.
