Time: 1:04 PM
The sun hung high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the Islamic secondary school where Aduma Ali found himself in a bit of a predicament. He had just escaped from a chaotic classroom brawl, clutching his backpack tightly as he dashed down the corridor. His partner, Alifmon, a small, dragon-like creature with shimmering scales, flitted beside him, its eyes wide with concern.
"Aduma, we need to get out of here before Sir Muhamad catches us!" Alifmon urged, its voice a mix of excitement and worry.
"I know, I know! But I can't leave without my notes!" Aduma replied, glancing back at the classroom where his classmates, including Sumara, Asuda, and Madonna, were still arguing over a trivial matter.
"Forget the notes! You can always borrow mine!" Alifmon insisted, nudging Aduma forward.
Just then, the door swung open, and Sir Muhamad, a tall figure with a stern expression, stepped out. "Aduma Ali! Where do you think you're going?" he called, his voice echoing through the hallway.
"Uh-oh, time to run!" Aduma shouted, sprinting down the corridor with Alifmon hot on his heels.

Outside, the atmosphere shifted as they approached the boundary of the school. Across the street stood a Chinese international secondary school, where students were mingling in their own world. Among them was Yun Xia, a serious-looking guy with sharp features and an air of authority. She was only thirteen but carried herself like someone much older.

"Look at those losers from the Islamic school," she said, her voice dripping with disdain, mimicking a Peking opera tone. "They think they can just waltz in here."
Her older sister, Jade Bailan, a sixteen-year-old with a no-nonsense attitude, stood beside her, arms crossed. "Yun Xia, don't provoke them. It's not worth it," she cautioned.
"Why not? They're just a bunch of lower-class seventh graders," Yun Xia retorted, her eyes narrowing as she spotted Aduma and Alifmon.
"Hey, look! It's the runaway!" Ni Qiao Qiao, a cheerful girl with bright eyes, chimed in, her laughter ringing out like a bell. "What's the matter, Aduma? Late for class?"
"Very funny, Qiao Qiao!" Aduma shot back, trying to keep his composure. "I'm just… uh, taking a break!"
"More like running away from Sir Muhamad," Jade added, smirking slightly.
Before Aduma could respond, a trio of bullies from the lower class-7 stepped forward, their faces twisted into sneers. "What do we have here? A bunch of losers?" one of them taunted, flexing his muscles.
"Yeah, why don't you go back to your little school and cry?" another chimed in, his voice mocking.
Yun Xia stepped forward, her serious demeanor shifting as she glared at the Zheng lei. "You think you can just pick on them? How pathetic," she said, her voice steady.
" Bao Jun out of this, Yun Xia. This doesn't concern you," the leader of the bullies snapped.
"Oh, but it does," she replied, her eyes fierce. "You're not going to bully anyone on my watch."
Aduma watched in awe as Yun Xia stood her ground. "Thanks, but we can handle it," he said, trying to sound brave.
"Handle it? You're outnumbered!" one of the bullies trio laughed, but Yun Xia's presence seemed to shift the balance.
"Alifmon, let's show them what we've got!" Aduma shouted, summoning his partner to his side.
"Right!" Alifmon exclaimed, its scales shimmering as it prepared for battle.
"Yun Xia, you ready?" Jade asked, stepping forward with a determined look.
"Always," Yun Xia replied, her serious expression returning.
The bullies exchanged glances, suddenly unsure. "You think you can take us on?" the leader sneered, but there was a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"Let's find out," Aduma said, his heart racing. "Alifmon, let's go!"
With a fierce battle cry, Alifmon unleashed a burst of energy, illuminating the area. The bullies recoiled, and the atmosphere crackled with tension.
"Together!" Yun Xia shouted, and the girls joined forces, ready to defend their friends.
As the confrontation unfolded, Aduma felt a surge of confidence. With Alifmon by his side and new allies standing strong, he knew they could face whatever came next.
