"Since it's our first activity, I thought we'd play a game everyone knows!" Childe said. He placed a ball in his hand.

"Dodgeball!" He exclaimed. Beidou said almost the exact same thing on their side. If everyone was being honest, they got excited...

"Ugh. Dodgeball." Xingqiu said. Bennett glanced over to him. Chongyun was on the other team.

"You hate it?" Bennett asked.

"Kinda. Well, especially when Chongyun's on the other team..." He began.

"Why is that?" Bennett asked. Xingqiu didn't reply.

"You'll see." He said. Bennett turned back to the other side of the gym. A few dodgeballs were lined up in the middle now. Someone walked up to him on his left. He turned to see Fischl twirling her thumbs.

"Nervous?" Bennett asked. Fischl jumped in shock.

"W-What!? Of course not! I, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung shall not be afraid of such—" She was saying before Childe blew his whistle. Fischl got scared and got behind Bennett. Bennett laughed.

"Don't worry! Our team will win within—" He was trying to explain before a ball hit him in the face. Then the chest. And the leg. And the chest again. He fell to the ground.

"B-Bennett! Are you alive!?" Fischl exclaimed.

"Y-Yeah... that always happens." He said. He was used to it. Bad luck and all that. He walked out as everyone played. Chongyun stood still. Xingqiu squinted his eyes. He watched as every ball that was thrown at him missed. He wasn't even trying. Meanwhile, Xingqiu dodged all the balls thrown at him gracefully. In fact, a few people clapped after he dodged a few. Xinyan, on the other hand, went wild instantly and was taking people out left and right. She jumped in front of someone and caught the ball.

"You good?" She asked. The blond girl she defended nodded.

"Of course." She said. However, her eyes were on someone else. A blond boy on the other side...

Fischl stayed in the back as she watched the chaos unfold. That's when a ball rolled to her feet. She picked it up, then looked ahead. She smirked, then placed a hand on her eyepatch.

"Hehe... you fools! None shall escape my wrath when I uncover—" She was saying before getting hit.

"What is she doing?" Bennett asked himself. He turned to see someone on his side catch a ball.

"Go in!" Beidou told him. He nodded. He ran in then instantly tripped. Someone threw a ball at him.

"Dammit." He said to himself, getting up. He walked back into line, next to Fischl. The numbers were dwindling. Their side had less players than the other side. Xingqiu, a blond boy, and two other kids were left. Meanwhile, the other side had Xinyan, Chongyun, a blond girl, and a few others.

"We're gonna lose!" Bennett exclaimed.

"Don't worry. Have faith in our team! I'm sure they'll pull through!" Fischl exclaimed. Xingqiu and two other boys went out.

"I would like to surrender." Fischl said, waving a small white flag.

"What happened to faith!?" Bennett asked. He sighed as he looked back on. A blond boy was holding a ball in his hands. He seemed to be an upperclassman. Meanwhile, Xinyan, Chongyun, and a blond girl remained on the other side. The girl stepped up.

"It's over brother." She said. The boy tightened his grip on the ball.

"That's what you think." He said. He threw the ball at her. She barely dodged. That's when the boy threw two more balls at the same time. She gasped as she blocked and dodged the other. However, the one she dodged flew back and hit Xinyan, who was trying to catch the other one. The boy grabbed the last ball on his side and threw it at the girl again. The girl dodged and threw one back at him. The boy dodged it as Chongyun threw a few of his own. He dodged one then caught the other one.
