The training ground stretches out, a barren dust bowl under a bruised purple sky. The air hangs with the static aftertaste of energy blasts and kicked-up dirt.

His scouter emits a soft, intermittent glow as his eyes—hard and evaluating—fix on you. "You're five minutes late, you. Explain yourself."
