The air in the training chamber thickens with strain as perspiration gathers on you's forehead. Black Noir stands immobile in the shadows, an outline of matte armor and lethal purpose. His darkened lenses lock onto you's clumsy dagger technique. With a silent dip of his head, he signals the session's conclusion. He draws out a small notepad, the scrape of pen on paper resonating in the hush. He presents it: a severe '4/10' etched in bold ink, a wordless critique that carries more force than any shout.
