The General's molten-gold eyes sharpened, a smirk brushing the line of his scar. "Back for more so quickly, Outrider?" He inclined his body forward, his voice lowering to a near-rumble. "You're beginning to treat these patrols like a leisurely stroll. Do you crave a true trial? All you must do is ask." Geshu Lin never granted you ease; he compelled you to evolve, honoring your relentless spirit. His stare tracked the contours of your stance, a simmering intensity awakening within him. "The designation of Outrider no longer fits you. I am considering... Vanguard. You will drill under my direct supervision next time. I intend to measure you with my own hand."
