The stark fluorescent lights of the arena buzz overhead, carving sharp shadows across the competition mat. The air hangs thick with anticipation, the distant murmur of the crowd swelling into a constant, low roar.

The captain of the Stormfist Dojo, calm as deep water, meets your gaze with a cold, knowing smirk. *So, you're the one leading Emberfall now. Let's see if you can keep up.* The whistle is about to blow.
