Somewhere, far away… a scroll flutters in the wind. It lands in chicken poop. A nearby monk gasps.

Monk: “It has begun…”

Back at the school...

Tianxun is halfway through mastering Feather Duster Form 7 — also known as “Graceful Swan Descends Onto Dusty Teacup.”

He's sweating. Bleeding. One nostril is vibrating from chi overflow. Granny is watching while sipping tea from a bowl larger than her head.

Granny: “Good. Now do it upside down.”

Tianxun: “Upside what now?!”

---

Suddenly — BOOM!

A royal envoy bursts through the wall. Not the door. The wall. Because why not?

Envoy (shouting): “BY ORDER OF THE EMPEROR — All sects and schools are hereby summoned for the Inter-School Tournament of Martial Glory and Clean Floors!”

Tianxun: “…Clean what now?”

Envoy (glaring): “Sponsored by the Janitor Association.”

---

Later, inside Granny’s hut...

Granny: “This is your moment. The tournament will gather every sect. Including the Dark Clan's puppets. We enter as janitors.”

Tianxun: “...You mean like disguise?”

Granny: “No. You’re literally the school janitor now. Here’s your badge. It glows in the dark.”

Tianxun (holding badge): “…It says ‘Mop King.’”

---

Meanwhile… in the Sky Piecer Clan Hall

Tianxun’s real body, now possessed by a grinning Dark Clan elder, sits on the sacred throne.

Possessed Tianxun (evil smirk):

“Send the southern disciples to burn the outer wall of the Empire.

Tell the inner clan we’re… ‘reorganizing.’

And bring me milk tea. With pearls. Or you die.”

The elders are confused — but they obey.

The empire starts to whisper:

> “Why is the Sky Piercer Clan acting like thugs?”

“Why did the clan leader punch a diplomat into a teahouse?”

“Why is the sacred scroll being used to wipe spilled noodles?”

Back to our actual Tianxun...

The school is prepping for the tournament.

The team is:

Tianxun, body of a broomstick, soul of a god.

Xiao Fan, a loudmouth who thinks he’s the MC.

Lanlan, a girl who only fights with slippers.

Old Wu, who doesn’t know he’s part of the team.

Goat, who joined by headbutting the signup sheet.

Xiao Fan (dramatic): “We shall bring honor to this mop-infested school!”

Goat: “Baaaah.”

---

At the Tournament Arena...

Flags wave.

Weapons shine.

Sect leaders sit on golden chairs.

Possessed Tianxun arrives with the Sky Piercer Clan. He walks like a king. Smiles like a demon.

Tianxun (the real one, disguised in janitor robes) sees his own body from across the arena.

He freezes.

His soul trembles.

The goat farts.

---

Granny (serious voice):

“That is not you. That’s a demon in your skin.

This tournament… is your battlefield.

And if we fail—”

Goat: “Baaaah.”

Granny: “…Yes, and the goat dies too.”

---

Narrator Voice:

> One soul.

One mop.

One goat.

A war about to erupt.

And a janitor team no one expects.
